This is a superb restaurant. I've eaten in many of the best, and this is equal or better than most, including some of the big names. I feel that this should be in all the good food guides. Well done to James Ford for making our evening one to be remembered for my wife, my guests and me!

This is the place to go for Chinese food. I first went there 3 years ago for a birthday meal and have been back at least once a year since though I plan to go more in the future. I will be there in a months time because the food is just amazing. It isn't a big place so if you plan on going there in a big group it might be best to book in advance. Wonderful!!

wow! this has got to be a great place to eat. always visiting here with my friends.. I? 14...so that is saying something. a real treat to those Chinese food fanatics!! Drinks are a bit pricey. but as students get 10% its acceptable. Food is gorgeous and you cannot beat it. staff are friendly, reliable and very organised! Credit to them all. you have to try it!

I had my hen night with Boatel only last night and had an absolutely fantastic time. The food was great and the staff were very friendly and polite. We were consulted on what type of music we wanted. We played games, everyone had a great time. Wonderful! Will be booking a daytime cruise for my daughter's birthday!

Really lovely gastro - pub style food with a great atmosphere for drinking or eating, and brilliant value too but feels pretty upmarket. I?e eaten here a few times and never been disappointed by the food or the really friendly service.

A comfortable relaxed atmosphere, with friendly staff who don? rush you. We have spent many an evening there with friends, chatting and drinking till late, without feeling under pressure to leave. The food is excellent and the chef will alter dishes to individual needs.

A Real Gem - I don't normally like chinese food but this place isn't normal chinese. the squid, scallops and prawn starters were delicious. The Prawn main course was exceptional. A delightful menu, beautiful food and well worth a visit. Its so good we are going to make a 60 mile return journey for my wife's birthday.

We eat at the Blue Elephant at least once a week, both the food and service are outstanding. The staff are trained to a very high standard & are also very friendly. The restaurant itself has a contemporary feel throughout & is an easy place to relax! The food is freshly prepared, portions are generous & presented to a high standard. Overall a night at the Blue Elephant is a second to none dining experience!

Sukhis restaurant is without a doubt, an excellent place to enjoy indian cuisine. I lived in Blackburn for 5 years and ate there regularly. My Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and relaxing atmosphere the restaurant provided. Sukhi himself, is a very genuine, pleasant person and always has plenty of time for customers. I have eaten at countless indian restaurants in the last 15 years and this place is certainly one of the best i have ever had the pleasure to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary meal here and would definitely return, The best Indian restaurant we have been to with excellent service.

I eat there two or three times a week which reflects how i feel about the restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is extremely friendly and efficient. It's the first place i would think of to take a guest out for a meal. If you like contemporary Indian food then i would strongly recommend you try this restaurant as you will not be disappointed.

The Shalamar is a cracking place to taste the delights of Indian food, and the staff can't be more helpful.

the pheasant, very dated decor in need of refurbishment. otherwise very clean and tidy. nice food. nice people.

This is by far the nicest Indian cuisine i have ate in a long time! I have also been to their other restaurant near to Southport and that was equally as good. The waiters are very good, always smiling and the service is efficient. Very tasty cuisine and worth every penny. Great if you have a celebration or just for a meal for two. The only down side when i went was it was extremely busy and the waiting time for a table was a bit long, however it was worth the wait, will be back soon!!!!!!

Superb food, lovely staff and excellent surroundings but to be charged £3.50 for two small soft drinks is, I think, outrageous.

Excellent food - highly recommend the Teppan-Yaki style food. You tend to have more fun if a larger group goes as you dominate a grill area. As always, Japanese food is slightly more expensive than Chinese in an area, so don't expect a cheap meal.

THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL LET IT DOWN. Overall the meals were classed is good but mussels starter was poor value, small mussels with not much meat -perhaps cooked too long. The bread was dry - obviously cut from a loaf and kept waiting. The other dishes of pasta pizza etc were very good, tasty well cooked and good value. The wine was very good and also good value. The dining room is very pleasant being in an older property with an attractive garden to look out on.

Very good food, drinks a little pricey, modern restaurant, friendly service
