Reviews in Darwen

a very average chinese restaurant slightly above takeaway standard at rip off prices.some of the other reviewers with their over the top reviews have clearly never sampled proper chinese food.

this place is fantastic.. every-time... we visit often and lots always the same good food excellent service and great value.. ... if you love Italiano and you like eating... visit Mangiamo...

Just had our first visit to Ocean Palace after finding on Sugarvine and we are super stuffed and v happy after a tip top meal. Bank holiday so set meal not on however after prawn crackers, starter each (2 of us) main meal half rice half chips and 2.5 pints a final bill of just over £45 was excellent and the volume of food as main course was extra impressive and extra tasty. It is the first time we have tried crispy beef where the predominant flavour has been beef and not batter and not much else - the sweet and sour was actually proper decent chunks of chicken. Was v busy and good atmosphere and the team there were on the ball with courses customer care and food knowledge. We will be back.

We eat Indian food at least once a week. Living in the Manchester area we are used to excellent quality (Akbar's in Manchester for instance). We found ourselves in Darwen on taxiing duties for 15 year old party girl so researched in advance. Absolutely excellent food & service. Lovely atmosphere & decor.We chose chicken tikka puri,prawn puri followed by a balti & vindaloo. Faultless food. Highly recommended.

visited Sukhi's restaurant last week with family and friends.The food as usual was fantastic and the service excellent.We travel from west lancs to eat there and are never disappointed

Ocean Palace is the best the food is always very good never disappointing and the staff are always very welcoming

Been for a leaving do, was disappointed with a couple of dishes, lamb jalfrezi was not as I would have expected, ordered hot hot but got mild very mild, they did change my dish with a replacement but still not satisfactory,Friend ordered mild and got hot, charged for individual portions of pilau but only received one tray of pilau which should be for one dish not for 6. Charged 5 times for one dish which was extra with main dish, overall rating out of ten I would give 5,

First class restaurant. Great food and service and immaculately clean. We will re-visit.

By the looks of these reviews we all seem to have been going for over 20 years. I certainly have so that must give a clear indication of what Anaz is like. The problem we have is wherever we are in the World we always end up comparing our Indian curries to that of Anaz. Anaz always comes out top.

Read other reviews and can't understand anything negative about this superb little restaurant,food ,prices and staff absolutely spot on, best night for us in a long long time,will visit again soon if only for the banter with Michelle. Would recommend to all to sample for themselves

We visit Anaz every Saturday night Mr Ali and all his staff are fantastic I have the same every wk chicken chat to start and lamb curry and it is perfect every time a visit is a must

Just had a very nice Sunday lunch at Astley Bank Hotel with friends very nice with attentive staff in lovely setting would recommend to anyone. Eileen.Taylor

Absolute favourite Chinese; Go there to celebrate every occasion, and just for a special treat! Love the early birds set with mushrooms & ribs!

Celebrated my mothers 40th at mjs last year and had an amazing night. Food was fantastic and staff were very friendly. Since our first visit we have been to mjs to celebrate 4 birthdays and a wedding! Overall experience = AMAZING,,

I used to live in Darwen and visited the Anaz regularly from the day it opened until I moved away some 20 years ago. It is the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in and I still take my family back there for special occasions but what impresses me is how Mr Ali still remembers me from all those years ago and still makes us all feel so welcome.

Excellent food at very competitive prices and the delivery service is super fast.

Ok, granted this is a tapas restaurant that offer a fairly reasonable menu, however the quality and variety of the dishes left a lot to be desired last Saturday afternoon. The same sauce seemed to run through most of the chicken dishes, most of the dishes were bland and unimaginative though the whitefish and calimari were not bad. We could taste the cooking fat in the potato dishes and well, do not get me started on the cleanliness. Our table was so sticky that my partners book actually stuck to it when put down, as did our napkins, glasses and bowls. Definitely a place we will not be in a hurry to return to.

Ocean palace has extremely good food , the best Chinese I have ever eaten. All the staff there are welcoming and helpful.
