    After a very poor experience a few years ago from here we decided to give it another go hoping the food had improved but sadly this was not the case. the beers were flat and the food was very greasy and tasted disgusting compared to other local Indian restaurants in the area, the staff just stand by your table and push you along even though the restaurant was empty on a Friday evening and it was very over priced! Sadly we will not be vising again.

    Enjoyed their Sunday buffet. Excellent quality food served by pleasant attentive staff. Drinks a little pricey but the buffet price compensated. All in all a great lunch for two in pleasant surroundings. Will go again.

    Only 3 tables with couples when we went but couldn’t get the order right, had to keep asking for items missed off the order. Some of the order came very burnt too. Staff friendly but food not very good. Cost almost £200 for 4 adults and two children so expensive for a poor meal. Usha much better than here.

    Great curry night at the Agra in Hapton. Staff always very friendly and efficient. Food great and just the job for a chilly Saturday night. 😋 We'll be back soon.

    *****As you can see from below the management have wrote a reply stating that we ate ALL the food when infact we said to the waiter we felt really rude leaving it as there was a lot of left overs, WE DID NOT order seconds at all infact the waiter actually asked us whether we would like to try the balti and the jalfrazi to which we replied "yes", how dare you lie about a customer this!!!! Absolutely disgusting customer service and very very rude!!!! I seriously cannot believe they have LIED in the reply rather than trying to make the customer happy. We don't normally complain about anything as we don't like to offend anyone but they offended us with a bad attitude, also may I point out that a buffet is something where you go up and help yourself, what the restaurant is serving is a set menu. Perhaps go to the following restaurants instead ANAZ IN DARWEN WHITECROFT IN OSWALDTWISTLE FARMERS GLORY ON THE WAY TO HASLINGDEN At least it would be money well spent!!!!! ORIGINAL REVIEW!!!! We haven't been here for a very long time and decided to go for a nice family meal. We were greeted by a lovely chap who was then our server for the duration of the meal. Unfortunately the rest of the experience wasn't as nice, the curry was tasteless with no flavour and we ordered from the buffet menu so had 3 curries to chose from, we had 1 of each curry and all had no taste even the "hot" curry, the chips were undercooked and the beer was flat. When we got the bill we decided to speak with management who told us that unfortunately because the curry is made in a stock pot the quality changes but if we had ordered an individual curry this wouldn't have been the case. They didn't offer to even knock a small amount off the bill and very confrontational when we explained we weren't happy with the meal will not be coming here again which is a shame after previous enjoyable experiences.

    Visited here pre-booked our party. Lovely & inviting staff on arrival, & friendly throughout our time here. Bar & seating area situated at the front, & a cloakroom available for coats too. We sat with our drinks until all parties arrived here, taken to our table, a very large restaurant with lot's of customer's tonight. Lovely food, from starters to main, service was fantastic 👌, large car park area outside, easy to find off main road. Lovely atmosphere, very warm deco & lighting, & it was lovely & warm inside, definitely recommend eating here.

    There are not many Sunday Indian buffet options left these days. Agra do a very good one, though you order it and it brought to your table. You can still eat as much as you want though. The food was very good indeed and the service was exceptional, fantastic friendly staff. Wonderful.

    Staff was very unfriendly, not even a smile.. food was forgettable, the restaurant's design is so old and nothing look like its an Indian restaurant. Big disappointment, definitely not going there again.

    Fantastic fresh food! You can tell this is freshly cooked and authentic. We had the Sunday buffet and left feeling very full! Great staff were always on hand to check if we wanted more food and if everything was OK. Brilliant service. Definitely worth a visit!

    Myself and my husband have been previously and the food and service has always been absolutely spot on, however we attended on fathers day with our two toddlers and my father. We booked a table for 17:45, however the table wasn't ready so we sat and waited which was tough with two young children but we coped. We sat down and we had to then ask a guy if we could order, he took our order and as you do we waited... and waited.. and waited.. an hour passed since our original booking (bare in mind the kids are screaming by this point) we was waiting for poppadoms.. around 30 minutes passed and a guy came over took an order for some drinks and told us he will find out how long our poppadoms would be... 10 minutes passed.. still no poppadoms and then the starter came out (cold may I add) so we waited 40 minutes for our poppadoms to be forgotten.. whilst the table next to us was empty with two poppadoms sat there on the table waiting for the customers to be seated? As for our starter it was cold.. not to mention it took a good 20 minutes to recieve the second round of drinks. And then the main course arrived and again some of the food piping and some of its cold. The bill costing near £100 when the experience was just nowhere near worth that. Yes I'd Attend mid week when it's quiet and the staff aren't rushed off their feet but any other public holiday no definitely not, it seems as though there's as lack of communication between the staff. You're crammed into the restaurant like sardines but then the staff struggle to keep up with the service.. so my question would be why take so many bookings if you're understaffed and cannot fulfill the service? There just seemed to be absolutely no organisation whatsoever, Staff seemed extremely stressed because of this? I understand a busy period but surely each member of staff should be prioritising different sections of the restaurant? The guys were sweating buckets, so yeah I definitely feel like there's a massive lack of organisation in busy periods. By the time the food arrived I personally wasn't hungry anymore.

    Visited for the Sunday buffet and was very impressed. The Sunday buffet changes every week so gives you chance to try starters sides and mains you may not usually choose. I’ve explored some currys I really enjoy that I wouldn’t have usually picked by coming to the sunday buffet. The mains come as a mild medium and hot so something for everyone. If the Sunday buffet isn’t to your taste , you can order from the normal menu. It is excellent value for money the Sunday buffet especially if you’re hungry. The food is always extremely tasty when I visit here. Plenty of parking Staff are always welcoming and friendly , delivering good service Clean restaurant Excellent food You can order via a QR code if you wish which you can pay on too. No app required An excellent Indian

    Disappointing visit which started with flat beer, followed by an expensive, tasteless and very greasy curry. There's much better on offer in the area! Also the waiters hovering around is really off-putting and makes you feel rushed. Sadly we won't be back anytime soon.

    I ordered a sirloin steak 🥩🤣 grilled. There were no marks as is usual for grilling. It was tough. I sent it back. They replaced it. This was slightly better but still no grilling marks

    Food was delish, the staff were very efficient, friendly and professional. I was genuinely surprised by how attentive they were and how good a night it was there. Would definitely recommend checking it out. I love the way they bring out the candle powered hot plates before they bring out and put your food on top to keep it warm.

    It was our first time at Agra , I we weren’t disappointed, the staff very polite, helpful and nothing was a problem to them! The atmosphere was great but most of all the food that we had was fantastic and a very nice cold beer awesome!! 100 %we will be going back! Thanks for a lovely night everyone!!!

    we ordered takeout for collection. Food was fantastic and portions were great. It was prepared quickly as it was midweek and they were quiet.

  • 5/5 Jennifer J. 3 months ago on Google New
    We're so lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep. Its the best Indian restaurant around by a long way. We go regularly and the staff are always engaging and attentive, they cannot do enough for you. We tried the Agra this year for our Christmas family lunch and we had a lovely meal and despite the restaurant being packed to the rafters we got good, timely service with personal touches. Great place to go for a curry and the Sunday buffet is brilliant.

  • 5/5 Lisa C. 10 months ago on Google
    What a lovely place not been here for years. Don't know why but am glad I went my mum fancied going for an Indian and I work down the road for this place driven past it so many times. Had a table booked for 4pm got there early which wasn't an issue. The staff were warm and friendly service was awesome. Knowledge of the menu which is great had poppadoms and chutneys and cauliflower bhaji on a puri it was delicious. The I had grilled fish my mum had a dopiazi with chapatti the food was piping hot and tasty. Value for money absolutely. Will i go back again definitely as it was so nice. The staff were born on so thanks guys will see you again. Keep up the great work.

    Food was quite nice though a little bland and the chicken was pretty dry. I wasn't blown away by the food but would probably go again as it was decent enough and close to where I live. Ample parking, friendly staff and good service

  • 1/5 J C. 10 months ago on Google
    Called here the other evening and it was very quiet. The draught Cobra wasn't the best. The service was false, unfriendly and quite arrogant and the food wasn't much better. The restaurant is very tired and cramped seating, the carpets are filthy and there is an unpleasant odour throughout. The sticker on the window upon entering says, illegally, hygiene is 'five' but if you check the official hygiene website you will find that it is in fact 'three'!

  • 5/5 David H. 4 months ago on Google
    Extremely polite staff who can't do enough for you. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Easy parking close to the door (for those with reduced mobility, there are a few shallow steps). It wasn't busy when we went, which perhaps affected the atmosphere, but we would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Susan K. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered takeaway to collect tonight, 3 mains with rice, naan bread and popadoms. Everything was hot, tasty and plentiful. Staff were polite and friendly. Price was very good value. Would definitely recommend and will come again.

  • 1/5 Babs B. 1 year ago on Google
    Takeaway tonight very disappointing! Definitely won't be ordering from here again. Salad was served in a plastic carrier bag ! As for the food, both lamb bhuna & chicken korma was tasteless ( lamb not tender & not a great deal of chicken!!) Not recommended

  • 5/5 Louis A. 1 year ago on Google
    Called in with no booking and it wasn't a problem at all. Great menu and the food and service was excellent. Looking to live round there soon and Agra will definitely become a regular. Will definitely recommend.

  • 4/5 David B. 2 years ago on Google
    Firstly. Somehow I have reviewed the Agra previously with 2 stars. So apologies.. Service was generally good, prompt and all as we ordered. Quality of food was good but my lamb not 100%. I always have lamb and this was the first time. So didn't make a fuss. Still love the place. Good to be back👌

  • 1/5 Mark R. 2 years ago on Google
    A very tasteless curry experience. Plus while we were eating, we were interrupted four times, by four servers, in ten minutes, asking if we were enjoying our meal. I've never had a blander curry.

  • 5/5 Kay C. 2 years ago on Google
    I've never had a bad meal here and I've been coming since it opened. The staff are lovely and the place immaculate.

  • 5/5 Jon w. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the Sunday buffet and the food was excellent. The tandoori chicken starter, was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The food is faultless and the Sunday buffet is excellent value for money. Highly recommended
