With its ambitious menu and striking architecture, Shikara is set to offer North East curry lovers a true taste of Punjab, North Indian, South Indian and Bangladeshi food, by serving up the highest calibre of contemporary Indian cuisine in a striking new two storey, sea-view development. Helmed by owners Azad Miah and Shohid Ahmed, since 1996 the pair have successfully owned and run one of Whitley Bay’s most popular Indian eateries. Now, the duo have taken over fifteen years of passion, enthusiasm, determination and unbridled culinary ambition to the next level with the launch of this stunning new restaurant. Bright and spacious but with enough cosy corners to escape into, Shikara offers a contemporary take on traditional Indian cuisine in a restaurant that offers not only depth of character, but also depth of flavour. Invoking the warmth and vibrancy of the exquisite regionally-inspired dishes on offer, with its vibrant, contemporary atmosphere, first-class service and emphasis on authenticity and flavour, Shikara aims to offer the ultimate luxury Indian dining experience.
