Whitley Lodge Tandoori (Whitley Bay) Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Whitley Lodge Tandoori (Whitley Bay) presents a broad and traditional Indian takeaway and dine-in style selection, built around familiar favourites and rich regional curries. It begins strongly with starters such as Onion Bhaji, Vegetable Samosa, Garlic Mushroom Puree, Paneer Tikka (ST), and Bhuna Prawn Puree, supported by simple condiments like Poppadom, Pickle Tray (4), Mango Chutney, Mint Sauce, and Onion Salad that set the tone for a classic experience.

The core curry selection covers well-known bases including Mossalla, Korma, Butter Cream, Bhuna, and Curry, while the biryani range offers filling options like Biryani, Tikka Biryani, Prawn Biryani, King Prawn Biryani, and Vegetable Biryani. The menu then expands into more distinctive house-style flavours with Punjabi Style Masala, Honey Butter, Special Pathia, Naga Bhuna, and South Indian Garlic Chilli, adding extra depth and heat variation.

Rice options such as Mushroom Pilau, Vegetable Pilau, Onion Pilau, Egg Pilau, and Nut Pilau pair with an extensive naan selection including Plain Naan, Keema Naan, Tikka Naan, Garlic Naan, and Cheese Naan. More modern twists appear in wraps like Chicken Tikka Naan Wrap, Lamb Tikka Naan Wrap, Mixed Meat Naan Wrap, and Mixed Shashlik Naan Wrap, alongside thali sets such as Meat Lover’s Thali Menu, Veggie’s Delight Thali Menu, and Chef’s Superior Thali Menu, plus banquet deals like 5 Course Banquet Special and 5 Course Upgraded Banquet Special.
