South Shields restaurant owner shares hilarious 'special' request from takeaway customer

A South Shields restaurant has shared a customer's takeaway order after being left highly amused by a special request they made.

Razz Ahmed, whose family own Namaste in both South Tyneside and in Sunniside, Gateshead, took to Facebook to post a photo of the order that came in via delivery service Just Eat on Thursday night.

The Namaste staff are no strangers to cooking up dishes to be despatched for diners to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes but there was one that caught the eye when it came through the system during the evening shift.

The order, from the unnamed customer, asked for Namaste's Hungry Share Box, with a Dansak in medium sauce, together with egg rice, a garlic and cheese naan and a can of Fanta, with the order rounded off by chicken tikka loaded chips, another naan bread and another can of pop.

But it was written at the top of the order that raised a smile, with the customer writing in the special instruction box 'Can you not make the Dansak too hot please, didn't get off the toilet for a week after the last one haha"

As soon as Raaz shared the receipt on Facebook the reaction from regulars was huge. One replied: "So funny," with another reacting: "Brilliant" and third telling Razz: "This is hilarious! Lush food tho Razz."

Namaste's Gateshead restaurant got a slice of small screen stardom over the summer as it was one of a host of North East restaurants featured on hit Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me: The Professionals. Staff also recently made a trip down to Birmingham after being named on the shortlist for Best North East restaurant at the English Curry Awards, having won at the ceremony three times before.
