"My visits to see my elderly parents in Blackburn have in the past couple of years been enhanced by visits to this simple lovely restaurant. It feels out of place surrounded by take aways offering processed foods such as Kebab and Burger, or fried chicken. On 20th December 23 my partner and I took a table and enjoyed the most flavoursome peppery Rasam followed by Prawn and Mango curry, Brinjal Masala, a thin King Fish steak packed with flavour, some Appam and Rice. This was my fourth experience of Thira (other than visiting Santorini! . On each visit the waiters and waitresses have been as friendly and efficient as the food is exquisite and tasty. It has been This is quality food not fast processed food; sometimes it takes a good while for the food to arrive the price reflects the costs that this involves. As an occasional treat it is well worth it for me. I hope that the sibling venture in Bolton succeeds and that this wonderful Blackburn branch continues to delight diners for many years to come."

Really enjoyed our meal on Sunday. Food came in good time and was delicious. Reasonably priced too. Our waitress was lovely, thanks ! Dietary restrictions: Also very good if you are gluten free as you can have everything on the menu I believe ! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

So the food and atmosphere was generally good. However when I was served my jalfrezi the waiter dropped it and the sauce spilled all over my table and windows. I got an apology but no discount or refund at all! Waiter thought it was funny I would ask for a discount! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20

Wow, I was impressed! Firstly the food is cooked fresh to order, yes even the meat, and it makes such a difference. The spicing is excellent and there are distinctive flavours as described in the menu. Service is excellent and the owner cares enough to come to every table to ask if everything is ok. Authentic and absolutely delicious. Service: Dine in View menu

Me and my friends went to Thira for food and ordered appam and stew. Stew was good but the appam they served was so thin even the fishing net is much thicker than that appam. We told the waiter about the appam but they didn't care to bother about anything. I don't think it is fair to serve food like that to customers when they are charging a good amount of money. I forgot to take a picture otherwise i would have posted pics of that appam.. Coz it was that so disappointing experience.

I visited for the first time today for dinner with my partner and two children. We had already looked on here and decided we'd all try a Thali each but was informed these are only available Monday to Friday so we were abit disappointed however our food was all amazing. I ordered the butter chicken, my partner ordered a dosa with a tarka dhal, daughter ordered a tikka masala and son ordered a prawn puri with chips. Everything was perfect and we will definitely go again to try a Thali :
