Awesome food and great service

Excellent restaurant situated in a prominent position, great choice, good service, friendly and absolutely spotless.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Have been many times and always had a fantastic meal. Highly recommended.

Absolutely terrible, table for 6 tonight and all 6 of us are absolutely disgusted and disappointed, meal upon meal was forced upon us and if anyone dare refuse they got the 'racist treatment. Don't let these animals get away with it, my Granddad is over 90 years old. Have some respect. Absolute joke of an establishment.

This is the best Curry Restaurant that I have ever been introduced to, thanks to my lovely Darwen family.... Mr Ali is in charge of magnificent food served by a fine tuned group of friendly staff in extremely comfortable surroundings ..... The presentation of our banquet of spectacular food was exceptional... Our home town Curry establishments back in Perth, Western Australia can't compare with our group of fours brilliant evening meal.... Will look forward to revisiting and giving Mr Ali another well deserved hug !

Had a fantastic Christmas day meal with my wife and mum Very nice time had by everyone Great food , attentive staff Definitely recommend.

Excellent food beautifully served by attentive staff'in a recently refurbished dining room Their freshly-cooked naans were a delight. We will be back.

Must be the best Indian. Always spot on for cleanliness, service, food and prices. Excellent curries. Garlic Nans are the best. Staff so friendly and efficient. See you again soon.

Love it here . Food is always brilliant and the staff are brilliant too . Best curry house in Darwen 😁👍

Quite simply exquisite in every way, I chose prawn puri starter and lamb shank madras both of which were first class. The establishment is spotlessly clean and well decorated, the service was attentive and genuinely friendly , welcoming and professional. One of the best if not the best restaurant in the North West.

We travelled from Blackpool especially to go to the Anaz Indian restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. The owner and staff are very welcoming and attentive. The food was excellent. The best pakora I've had in years, the batter was so light. You can have your main course as mild or hot as you prefer. Will definitely be going back.

First time visiting this location with friends. The menu provided a good selection of dishes, the staff were friendly and the service was very good as was the venue. We all enjoyed our food, of which there plenty. Considering we visited on a Wednesday and early, it soon got busy, it's well worth a visit.

Quite possibly the finest Indian restaurant I've been in, Highly recommended +++

Visited for the first time on Monday evening. A warm welcome was given. Our meal was top class and the service excellent even though they were busy with 2 large parties. Been a while since we enjoyed an Indian meal as much. Well worth a visit.

Second time in a week we have been, who would have realised this little slice of heaven was in darwen? The food was amazing, the service was above an beyond what i expected and Mr Ali gives a personal touch that most restaurant owners neglect. I had an absolutely lovely evening both nights and for a price that actually shocked me. In short great value for money, amazing customer service and food i can not praise high enough.

Delicious, great service with very friendly staff. Food came quickly and was fresh and tasty. Look forward to coming again.

Lovely food; first visit here; great service. Only downside was the under par poppadoms (undercooked? warmed up?)

Superb food excellent service as always,been coming here for 35yrs never changes Mr Ali always makes us welcome Sylvia/Bob from Hawkshaw xx

Great restaurant with modern decor, friendly staff and most importantly, mega food. I had a Lamb Biriani with a Naga sauce and it was delicious. Not too hot, but just full of flavour. Recommended.

Great curry and excellent, welcoming staff, highly recommended and very good value.

As yet I haven't found a better India restaurant than this...superb, you won't be disappointed ++

Love Anaz, the food is amazing Mr Ali and his staff go the extra mile to make your visit very special.

3 of us went for dinner on a Wednesday evening. I managed to park on the road directly across from the restaurant. Up to 7pm you are limited to 30 minutes but our table was booked for 7.30pm so no issues. Large step at entrance but hand grabs on both sides to help get in and out. Didn't see an alternative entrance do cannot confirm if wheelchair friendly. Place wasn't that busy but a fairly large party came in shortly after us. Meant plenty of options on where to sit. We placed our order whilst seated at the bar. Lots of space there. They did seem to have quite a few people coming in for takeaway orders. We were shown to a table by the front window looking out onto the main road. Initially impressions were good. The place looked very clean and tidy. And plenty of spaces between tables. We had ordered 3 starters. Onion Bhaji; Shish kebab and Lamb Puri. For mains Chicken Dupiaza with chips; Chicken Korai and Lamb Shank. Both meals came with chips or boiled or pilau rice. For £1.00 you could get one of the special rices. We opted for the Garlic rice. And I ordered a Garlic Naan bread. Had ordered a pint of Cobra. Reasonably priced at £4.50. Starters arrived promptly. Once finished we were asked if we wanted to wait for mains or have as soon as they were ready. We opted to have as soon as they were ready. I had ordered the Lamb. Plenty of meat on it and very tender. It was easy to get off the bone. Dish is served medium but you can ask for hotter. I asked for mine around madras strength. It was fine. I could have handled spicier so those into Indian cuisine might want to address that when ordering. Have to be honest the Nann bread wasn't one of the better ones I've had. But then again nothing wrong with it. I finished my meal and I was full. Staff were attentive. Came over several times to check everything was ok. Also quick to take dishes and the tea light warmers away once they were finished with therby clearing space on the tables. A free shot of Baileys ended the meal. Been a long time since I had that in a restaurant so it was a nice touch. No issues at all. Although not the best Indian restaurant I have ever visited it was a very nice venue with some interesting dishes on the menu and at reasonable prices. I would recommend this restaurant and would visit again.

Lovely staff but unfortunately not great food. Visited 20 + years ago then again last week. I obviously cannot recall what the food was like 20 years ago but last week it was somewhat bland and uninspiring, especially lack of vegetarian options. The place itself is dated and in need of modernisation but its got a loyal following of locals who go back time after time, so give it a try and judge for yourself.

Absolutely delicious food, I had the spiced lamb shank with a spicy sauce. The service was fast but not hurried. It was busy but not noisey. Great selection of food. The beer was okay. Only criticism would be the naan bread, I've had better. Extremely clean premises and well presented staff.

It truly is all about the service here. Clean and friendly atmosphere the food doesn’t warrant the 5 however the service from all the team is fabulous. Shall visit again and thank you.

Been going here for over 40 years. Food always amazing. Staff very friendly. Never had a bad meal.

Visiting my son on occasions we always goto our favourite Indian restaurant Anaz, on entering we are remembered by the staff, greeted with smile and hand shake, we are treated like its only us in the restaurant and we love it, we feel special, we love the food, we love the prices looking forward to our next visit.

My bf invited me to his home town for a weekend and recommended this restaurant, which he was mentioning months ago as he last went there in the 80's. We were not disappointed and the food was still of the high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal especially the lamb shank which i honestly can say was the best in my life. Will be going back and would highly recommend Anaz. Thanks for a great meal and service.
