Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

I've been going to the Moghul in St Annes since the early 1990s and was delighted when the Red Fort opened in Lytham. Neither of these restaurants ever fail to maintain their high standards of both service and food. Husband and I went there last night and had yet another good meal from the early diner deal which is such a good deal (and the Sunday banquet is even better!). The staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The decor (re-done last year) is stylish and the ambience relaxing. The menu is regularly updated with new dishes and they are always willing to explain the dishes to help you make the right choice. When we decide to go for an Indian meal we never think of anywhere else except the Moghul or Red Fort.

Fabulous place, good price, good staff, massive portions and quality to go with it! top tip - order a naan bread :p

A real gem - The Red Fort - we look forward to every visit. It has become our favourite venue in Lytham and an especially good finale to Sunday walks! It offers amazing food - preparation and presentation meet and frequently exceed expectation. Ahad and his dedicated team run the restaurant with friendly expertise. Give it a try and enjoy.

I live in Lytham, so tend to go to The Red Fort fairly often; well it's a first class dining experience; I went with my girlfriend Jan, a few days ago; I had the Balti Exotica, while she tried one of the Aromatic Biryanis. Both were superb and succulent. This must be one of the best Indian restaurants on the Fylde Coast, both for choice and value. Marks... 11 out of 10!

1st visit here and both food and service were excellent. Definitely a place to recommend - even during a mid-week visit as we did.

The Red Fort is definitely the best Indian restaurant we have ever been to. the food is absolutely wonderful and the staff are all great. We have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the Country and my partner has visited Indian on a few occasions and sampled the food there and we both think the standard of food and service at the red fort are second to none. We tell all our friends to try it and none of them have been disappointed.

We discovered The Red Fort whilst living in Lytham and although we are now living back in Cheshire we still try to get there at least twice a month because it is without a doubt the best restaurant, serving the best Indian food we have ever tasted. The service is excellent and the staff are all really nice. It is well worth the journey.

We took a coach of 26 people to the Venue for the lunch menu of a choice of meals for £5.99. The choice was excellent, and the food was tasty and filling, everyone enjoyed their choices. The staff could not do enough to help and we all would visit again without hesitation.

My Wife and I went for dinner on 24 March 2012 and were extremely disappointed. As regulars since the beginning of 2007, when the hotel and dining facilities were refurbished, we have always really enjoyed the food, especially the tapas. Alas, these are now very poor and suggest that the dining is moving to a downmarket level with a lower level of prices. The selections are now dreadful, the portions reduced and the accompaniments that used to be served with many dished have completely disappeared. The food itself was ok but again, not as good as that we had become accustomed to. Service was ok albeit a little slow to usual, it was Saturday night and very busy so accept this aspect. Very sad that such a winning format has been lost. The dining area bar has at last introduced draught lager/beer but do not serve as the usual pints, they serve in glasses of 400ml but charge at the level of a pint. Very sneaky.

Fab pizzas, panini, soup, pasta, ice cream, coffee and scones! I haven't tried the paella yet....next on my list!! Great music and atmosphere and taking your own wine is such a bonus! We have been going since it opened day and night. Even the kids love it!!! Would recommend it to all! My teenage daughter went for her birthday with her mates minus the wine obviously but they were made totally welcome. Shabatronic!

Food was excellent however, the initial service in the bar was terrible, we were told to expect a half an hour wait which we were okay with so ordered our drinks along with informing the waiter of our name which she wrote down with our order of drinks. 45 minutes later and still no drinks even after enquiring twice about them; turned out that the waiter had forgotten our order even after writing it down. Other people coming into the bar after us were served along time before us and some were even seated before we finally got our drinks. Really unhappy with initial service which is a shame as the food was fantastic. Very doubtful we will be visiting again because of the service in the bar!

This is one of my favourite restaurants. High standards of service and the freshest ingredients are obvious. If you are looking for a QUALITY night out then visit the Moghul. Good wine list too!!!

LOVE this restaurant, great reasonably priced food, relaxed atmosphere, been going since it opened. Between us we have tried everything on the menu and LOVE it all but our fav is the mixed paella.

Been here loads of times, always excellent, fresh and tasty. There is a certain quality to this restaurant that is hard to find elsewhere. Attention to detail is obvious. Thanks Ahad and the boys, I will be back for the Zalzali, very tasty.

Our favourite restaurant of all. Quality of food and the friendly service are first class - can't recommend it highly enough! Its the best restaurant in Lytham by a long way.

When you book at venue for a wedding, you know what the facilities are and what the cost is. What none of us know is how the staff will be - how good the food is - and how good the service will be. On those measures alone, The Venue at Cleveleys was brilliant. Far beyond our expectations on what was a very tight budget. From our first contact they joined in our planning arrangements, and their experience was hugely influential in what turned out to be a perfect day (and evening). From meal choices, entertainment options, table layout and even help with the balloons and decorations - they were always there for us. Thanks particularly to Jackie and Andy.

Visited yesterday (21.03.12) and as usual the lunches my mother and I had were fantastic. The views were the icing on the proverbial cake!!! Keep it up.

Had a family meal here yesterday evening, the service was excellent, very friendly and the children, 4, 7 and 14 loved it!!! Recommend the early bird for value for money and fantastic range of Indian cuisine, can't fault it!!
