    The is the best Kebabish I have ever experienced. The taste of the food here is simply sublime. The mixed grills are suberb, the curries are well flavoured and individual. I love eating here, always a fantastic experience. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. It has is own car park and there is lots of free parking nearby. This place is soo busy, takeaway and eat in. Set across two floors, with seating for over 100 people. An open grill cooking area to add to the atmosphere of sizzling meats. A quality halal restaurant in the heart of Blackburn that needs to be experienced to be believed. Truely amazing food. Salim Patel

    Starters were fine, main meals not so good . Poppadoms were not crispy . Service poor. Felt portion sizes were small, for the price.

    Be sure to book in advance, it’s a popular and busy spot. We were seated quickly and ordering wasn’t hard either. We ordered a variety of starters, curries and sides. They came quickly and tasted very fresh, highly recommend the mix grill platter and lamb curry…oh and the peshwari naan too! All at very reasonable prices. Overall, a lovely family friendly spot and has a great atmosphere!

    Really tasty food which came out hot and quickly considering the place was very busy. Both the chicken and lamb karhai’s tasted delicious! Service was great too and it’s reasonably priced!

    Dined in the restraint in the late afternoon before it gets busy. Very friendly welcoming staff, there's a nice friendly atmosphere. I had the Rogan Josh as my main course, the recipes taste quite unique and was very nice indeed I've never tasted one quite like it, good servings with plenty of chicken. The food is excellent and fresh I'll go again or order on the phone. Access is easy although it does get busy on the roads from late afternoon onwards, parking can be found on the local streets, there's no car park. Very varied menu and family friendly.

    Excellent dinner with family we had visiting from London- they said this was the best Kebabish they had been to. I had booked a table whilst we were on our way to Blackburn. On arriving at the restaurant, we were seated promptly which was great after a day out. Uzaima was very friendly and prompt whilst serving us. We had a variety of starters and curries with naan along with mango lassi and falooda. I took a photo of some of the starters but was busy eating when it came to the mains! We enjoyed the whole meal and experience, nothing was too much for all of the staff, they served us with a smile. All of the food was delicious, our favourite dishes were the seekh kebabs and lamb karahi. Keep up the excellent food and service.

    Went to this restaurant without any expectations and was blown away by the hospitality, fresh food and great taste. Ordered lamb Karahi with garlic Nan and BBQ platter, it was just out of this world. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Great food. Fairly authentic. It was a busy Sunday afternoon and the service was understandably slow (like a 20 min wait to be seated, 20 min to order and another 20-30 to get served). Friendly staff. Okay-ish atmosphere. Good value and portions. No alcohol. :( Might go again when/if in Blackburn for a curry.

  • 5/5 iqbal k. 2 years ago on Google
    Really, really impressed. Got here late last night after being in traffic driving for around 5 hours. I searched the HMC website beforehand. Surprised to see that the closing time of 11.30 was correct and adhered to. Got in around 11pm and the staff were friendly, attentive, accommodating and most of all they didn't rush us at all. The food arrived promptly and was piping hot. We asked for it to be mild and it was! Usually restaurants end up over chillifying the food and the kids can't eat it but I can't honestly say the food was delicious and fresh tasting. Card payment was accepted too! Order was correct and no overcharging like some places too. Once again highly recommended.

    I went to this place on the 25th of December, and ordered chicken tikka masala, with chicken seekh kebab, naan & roti with mango lassi. Chicken tikka masala was just okay, next time I will try another dish, chicken seekh kebabs were delicious (highly recommended), roti was too heavy for me as I have never had such roti in India and mango lassi was good in taste. The overall experience was good, in which the service and atmosphere of this place is excellent. This restaurant has recently won some "best restaurant awards"

    Have been going to kebabs for years but never again Total rip of inflated rates and attitude when not paying with card. just take the price of chips £2 well above average then take the price of papodom £1.20+ taking advantage of the living crisis i think amongst other feedback but enough said will avoid at all cost in future On the plus side Staff are OK Food delicious even though not always whats ordered but credit where deserved but last few visits defo 1 star Total rip off for around 35 quid you can have a outing with a family of 5 here only two eat for 30 quid

  • 4/5 Akshata S. 8 months ago on Google
    Being an asian and especially from Bombay, I had high expectations when I visited this restaurant. The food is good for the local Asians who are accustomed to the taste but I would give 3.5/5. The service was excellent, staff very friendly and responsive. We ordered the mixed grill which had 3 pcs each of grilled wings, chicken tikka, seekh kebab, lamb chops. Then we ordered the Kheema naan which was excellent and garlic naan which was dry and lacked the flavour of garlic, supported with Pakhtooni lamb. Next we ordered chicken biryani which was okay. In desserts we ordered Falooda which was not at all sweet so we requested them to add some roohafza to it and finished the meal with meetha pan. The total bill was around £65 for 2 people. Rohit and another server who attended us were fabulous.

    Food is absolutely fantastic. The lamb karai was not over spiced with red chillies but nicely cooked with a good balance of salt, spice keeping a great flavour. The waiters could be a little better and well informed. Seems to be a bunch of kids who don't communicate properly. So that's an area you can really improve on. Other enjoyed the food , thank you

    Disappointed to say the least. Food was of below average quality. Starters were served and waited 5 mins for sauces. Ordered a steak which was supposed to be accompanied by mash potato and peppercorn sauce but came with fries, took them more than ten mins more to bring sauce and mash as ordered. The veg was minimal and burnt. Won’t be coming back in a hurry for sure

    Busy restaurant, even mid week afternoons. But the service n food was spot on. Their mix grill is 👌. Pricing is a bit high but not too high probably just competitive. Evening s especially at weekends book b4 u go, to avoid long queues..

  • 3/5 Kamran M. 1 year ago on Google
    Went during the day it wasn't so busy service from the waitor was fast we got menus and were recommended the baby chicken but we opted for mix grill with sirloin steak for both of us. The mix grill starter was very nice shame about the lamb chops which were tiny moving on we got our steak the steak we asked for was medium but we got over well done it was really really chewy and brown on the inside when we complained the waitor said thsts how customers normally like it even though we specified medium. The sides of mash and veg were nice we left most of the steak on the plate.

  • 5/5 Yusaf S. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with my family today. We were seated immediately despite them being very busy. Place was very clean and had a 5* hygiene rating. Ordered a mix grill, which came very quickly and was very tasty. Will be returning again.

  • 5/5 Shaun F. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely worth the wait but be prepared to wait. When I visited it was super busy so I knew it was going to be good. The food was authentic and had a great taste to it also not afraid to add some spice. Nice bunch that worked here too.

  • 4/5 Salik Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Actually turned out better than I expected. The meat samosas were proper home made style and not the mini frozen ones. Filling was ample and the pastry was just right; not too thick and heavy. Main was a karahi lamb which was good and had just the right amount of chilli/spice. Naans were decent and not too thick n heavy. They have a dessert counter but I did not try and surprisingly they do not do desi chai or coffee! Definitely need a chai or coffee after roti salan. Would definitely go back when next in the area tho just for the food. Total bill came to £17.50

  • 4/5 Nomi A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food as always, with their Mix Grill starter being one of my favourites. Atmosphere could be a little better, ie air con felt it was on full blast in the winter which also most likely made the food cold quicker too. Everything else was perfect as always.
