    Sunday dinner here is delicious. If you decide to go on the Sunday, order the Sunday roast, with a lamb shank. The mojito (passionfruit) was really nice. It was also sugar free. The service is good here too. Nice and friendly.

    This must be the best cafe, ice cream, food place in Blackburn and surrounding areas. The taste of of all food that I ordered was amazing. The detail on the presentation is also wow. Will go again and again and again. Burgers, T bone steak, deserts mouth watering. 🤤

    A range of cuisines with a homemade twist. Thoroughly enjoyed the T-bone steak, jerk chicken and the schezwan rolls.

    Recommended this place by a good friend of mine .. The food was ace .. Starters we had Mozzarella sticks and Nachos .. nice and fresh and tasted really good .. They had some unusual flavoured Mojitos and as I am obsessed with Irn Bru, I had to have an Irn Bru Mojito. It was nice but rather steeply priced for a soft drink (£5) .. but I guess you pay for what you are getting!!! For mains we had minted burgers, lamb burger, crispy chicken burger and a Sunday roast .. All were fully of flavour and tasted very nice .. Very filling .. the burgers came with skin on fries .. For deserts we had Churros, Bakewell tart (with custard) and bizarrely a fried ice cream ball .. Never heard of a friend scream cream ball before but damn it was nice looking .. My mate didn’t share .. lol All the food was halal and I would definitely go back .. all in all and great experience … The staff were great and accommodating .. Just make sure you call first and book a table ..

    Stopped off here after visiting family and was pleasantly surprised. The place itself is nicely kept, decor is light and airy. The staff were all very friendly Zac in particular very kindly offered recommendations. I had the loaded potato skins to start which were cooked to perfection nice and crisp on the outside and lovely and fluffy on the inside. Followed by the meaty club Sandwich words cannot describe how tasty this was. My fella had the red velvet king prawns to start which he enjoyed, it's the first time he's eaten prawns out and not had a bad thing to say about them. Followed by the chicken steak off the specials board, it came with curly fries, roast potatoes, veg (which sadly was cold) and a dipping sauce. 10 out of 10 for flavour just the veg that let the dish down. Drinks I enjoyed a nice Cappuccino and he had a kiwi mojito mocktail Food was very well presented, excellent value for money and extremely tasty. We will be back again and recommending to others.

    Had the desi breakfast and Full English, we came in as a group of 8 and the staff were very accommodating (we didn't reserve beforehand!) and friendly. A lot of praise for the quality and taste of the food from everyone (including my picky parents!), if we're around in Blackburn, we would definitely go back. My only small comment would be to ask when people would like their drinks, we would've preferred to have had our hot drinks at the end of the meal, but didn't know they would be served first.

    Hidden away on a road in Blackburn sits The Fig & The Olive. I ate here recently with colleagues and the food was great. I had the Lamb and Mint Burger along with a Masala Chai and it came to less than £15 - great value. The staff were also very nice and attentive. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a nice bite!

    Nice place, the guy serving us was polite and attentive. Only thing was there wasn’t that many options on the menu, other than that food and drinks were really good.

    Me and my wife went to eat here. Food was nice and cooked well, staff are friendly and it's decently priced. Ended up paying £52 for the 2 of us and that also included Mojitos. Would definitely come again as their specials on their menu change quite often so there's always new food to try out.

    We went at lunch time so it wasn't overly busy. It was however quite cold inside the cafe. The food was lovely and the service was good. I had high expectations from this place as a lot of people had raved about it since I moved to Lancashire. This was my first time going, may try it again for brunch at some point.

    Amazing place to eat delicious food!! The burgers here are so tasty! There is plenty of indoor seating in a family friendly environment. Situated in a good location. The prices are very good. The menu has a good variety of food to choose from, but my favourite is the burgers. Would definitely recommend 10/10

    Alhamdulillah great food and service as always. Food is always presentable, hot and the portion sizes are very reasonable. All the food is freshly cooked and tastes really nice and homely. A great go-to place for working lunch.

  • 4/5 Nailah J. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is quite nice. i went for breakfast. The menu was quite limited in options. The English breakfast was really good, I enjoyed it. However, I didn’t like the masala chai it was very watered down and lacked taste. The spiced chai latte was nice though. The atmosphere and decor was great, however it did lack cleanliness. Overall decent place with decent prices and the service was really good. Might need to try the actual food though hard to dictate on just breakfast.
