"Went with my husband. Food was okay at first. When ordering our food we asked for a jug of iron bru. The waitress said they do not do bru jugs (even though it is on the menu) I then asked if they have any jugs of drinks at all? She replied with ‘no we do not have any jugs’ so me and my husband got single bottles instead. Upon leaving to go pay we noticed a table next to us for served a jug of coke. I mentioned this to the other lady at the till who looked like the manager. She asked the waitress who denied it and got into a discussion with me and said to me 3x that she said they had coke jugs. She was making me out to be a liar. I feel this was clear discrimination because we were the only Pakistanis in the restaurant and the rest of the people eating there were Indian. The waitress was very attentive to other tables but ours. We even had to ask for water. I do not recommend this place. Food is mediocre and service is horrendous."

We went in as a group of around 20 for our scouts group outing. We came for breakfast and ordered a variety of things from the menu from milkshakes, to desi breakfasts, pies, sizzlers etc. Service was great, the food was awesome and we all had a lovely time.

Overrated. Food is ok but only average and expensive for what it was. I did enjoy the samosas chaat. The sweet is expensive and not recommended. We had to return their attempt at cookie dough as it didnt look anything like what it's supposed to. Would not go again

Service is awful here last time i came i thought im never coming here again but thought id give it another try for breakfast, breakfast came with a hair on it, the lady took it back but didnt even apologise, the service is shocking, food was barely 2/10. Once upon a time this place was good, but the last few times, safe to say i wont be coming back.

I went here on a Friday evening with my wife and teenage children and I thought the food was excellent and really good value for money. The restaurant was clean, the food was excellent and the service was great. I always feel review the restaurant on food and service and based on this, it was a great dining experience, compared to what there is in Blackburn. View menu

The cheese and onion pie was watery with hardly any cheese or onion. The steak and gravy pie was tasteless and the gravy was red in colour tasted awful and was only given to us after a few requests. The service is not good. Even after complaining and showing them why we still had to pay. The sweet did not taste like it should. Overpriced and spoilt our outing. Not going again

Very disappointed with the takeaway we ordered. The lamb Karahi was just awful; more bone and fat than lamb. The chicken jalfrezi was ok as were the naan breads. We also had jalapeño bombers, chips and garlic mushrooms. Everything was cold when it arrived (took an hour and a half despite it saying 45mins to 55 mins). We live less than a mile away!!! We had to reheat everything before it was even remotely edible which defeats the object of a takeaway. Won’t be ordering from here again.

Went for breakfast with a family of four and the service was really poor. No smiles from the staff. The food for two came out and 15 minutes later the rest of the food came. The tea and juice came at the end and again without smiles from the staff. They also got the order wrong. The sausages were undercooked. It’s a shame that the surroundings are very good but staff and food is a let down. The quality of the food was mediocre. The staff all need to go on a customer services course!!!! View menu

As a family we went today to enjoy afternoon brunch. We sat and ordered. The young ladies brought us plates that were filthy. Had to ask for them to be changed. After 45 minutes of waiting, my son went over to ask. The waitress told him it won't be long. Further 15 minutes later I went over. The food is still not ready. Throughout this one hour no one even bothered to come to the table to apologise or update us. I asked where the manager was and apparently she is not in. We walked out without even eating or there was no intention from the staff of feeling any wrong or apologetic. Never ever will I go again or recommend

Very poor service. Need to change management and staff. Ordered mains and 10 mins later was told they didn’t have it. Took a long time to serve and then gave the food to all the diners in our group at different times even though it was 3 kids and 2 adults. Was asked to complain to manager via a phone call the following day even though she was around. Eventually came over after repeated delays. No drinks put on table and had to ask several times. Manager tried to claim the kids meals were starters which is why they came out first, even though they came out after my wife's mains. Came here over 3 years ago and was as bad, thought they would change. Now it was worse. The place was filthy too. R...
