Reviews in Blackburn

My partner and I took my Mum for a meal on Sat. 21st March 2009 for Mothers Day and what a great time was had by all. Dave, the chef and owner, came for a chat and even brought our food to the table so that he could explain what the food was on the Platter for 2 which we had ordered. Mum had the Red Snapper fish which she thoroughly enjoyed and she also tried some of the food on our platter. I would recommend this Restaurant as the food, the dining area, ambience and the staff where all excellent.

Me and my family ate here for mothers day, the food and service were great, the wine was lovely too…only problem was that we couldn’t decide what to eat as everything on the menu looked appetizing…try it you and I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we did!!

Had a gourmet overnight stay here recently. From the minute we arrived everything was just perfect.The room was great with a good attention to detail - all those little things that make you go Ooohh! The 5 course meal was amazing, from the champagne and canapes to begin to the coffee & petite fours to end in front of a real fire. We splashed out on the wine package which consisted of 4 glasses to compliment each course - not cheap at £37.50 a head but they were stunning and well worth the extra indulgence!!! I'm saving up for my return.

Hi.... ladies and gentlemen now i have really seen the flower blossom....... what a great place, great food, great people, great service...overall just so so GREAT!!! Keep it up Balti house....x

I am a regular at the clog and was very exited to see they had a new menu. I had Crab cake to start which was excellent, my wife had the onion tart which looked brilliant too. Then we had 2 deviled chicken - nice but maybe slightly overcooked. No room for desserts, but the ones on the table next to us looked delicious. It gets insanely busy in the evening so if you want to avoid an hour wait for a table i suggest you go early rather than later.

Good produce and above average pub food. Nicely furnished and staff are pleasant. Need more structure front of house and better timing. Would return.

Great location, relaxed atmosphere, good wine and a delicious rather large portion of locally sourced fish pie, what more could a girl want! Would definitely return for dinner again.

What a top find this place is . We were looking for something a bit different from the usual Indian/Chinese/Italian and this place fits the Bill. Excellent surroundings,the staff are friendly ,the Chef Dave came out and had a good chat with all the diners,the menu is varied .We went for the platter , which was excellent value . We'll be back.

The king of currys ,Rishton Balti house is the best you should try there currys especially the one i had lamb chops noorani with a garlic naan ,ummmm,feel like having one now.Give the balti house in rishton a visit you will not be disappointed ,you will come again and again and balti house keep up the good work.

Calypso is the new Caribbean restaurant to hit Blackburn town, the food is excellent the service is great and the atmosphere is very authentic if you enjoy good food and a welcoming and exciting environment then calypso is the place for you.

visited the Welcome Restaurant Food okay felt pressurised all through the meal being watched by three waitresses.Only part of bill written in English is the amount,order written in Chinese ,would be helpful if both languages were used.Unable to check bill properly! Won't visit again or recommend the place.

haven't been for a few months as the atmosphere since the owner left has been awful, the food was dire and its a shame the thriving little business was slowly being driven into the ground its heart left with ian and it turned into a business instead of a home from home that it was, bring it back up to what it was and we may just come back.

I've been to lots of restaurants in this area and this is really the best Indian! We read the reviews on this site beforehand and were intrigued to hear about what Ccc@c had to say about the Jalfrazi. My hubby is a bit of a connisieur when it comes to Indian food (he's Indian and used to be a chef back in India!) and said he wanted to try it, because with one style of cooking, a truly authentic jalfrazi is actually quite green . And thus, Hubby had the jalfrazi and I had the Murgi Begum Bahar. My dish was fantastic and was really good for me because I can only have mild curries and it was perfect! As for the jalfrazi it appears they've changed it as it was just normal curry colour ( a dark brown) , but my husband absolutely LOVED it! The staff are so friendly and nice, and they bend backwards making sure everything is okay. A really really fantastic night out.

I visited the bulls head in Wilpshire for a family meal over the weekend. The bland average pub food was not nearly as disappointing as the service. We were served our main course BEFORE our starters had even arrived! Then re-served them cold after we had eaten the starters. Staff were rude and unhelpful, very disappointing indeed.

hi we go to the windmill nearly every week i wouldn't go any where else great value for money would recommend to anyone

The first time i ate at the rishton Balti House. The quality of the food was outstanding, the service they gave me was first class. the restaurant is unique unlike others and i recommend you to come and try their food. KEEP IT UP!:)

What a fantastic restaurant - excellent service and the food is very fresh and tasty. I would recommend trying the garlic nan bread and for people who like it hot try the Naga. (at last a 'hot' curry that also has flavours) Would recommend trying this restaurant.

4 of us went here on a Friday night to celebrate a birthday. We knew it was going to be a bit more expensive than your usual Chinese but it was worth every penny. The food was delicious and much lighter than your normal Chinese , there wasn't a thick batter on everything. The wine list is very good and the waiters were exceptional with topping our glasses, none of us ever had an empty glass (that might account for our sore heads the day after!) My friend has a serious allergy and the Manager came over to go through the menu with her. I have read some reviews on other sites from people who found this place pretentious but I didn't get that vibe at all, all the staff were friendly, and all customers were having a good time and there was a lively atmosphere.Overall we had a brilliant night , and will definitely be back
