    Asked for some sauce to be added to my dad's biryani (he finds it a little dry), and was told by the lady serving, "sorry, we don't that." No mention of any additional charge was made. I would have been happy to have paid a little extra but my request was refused. The following week, a customer in front of me asked the same lady for some gravy to be added to her rice. The lady serving was happy to oblige and was extra careful not to include any bones at the customer's request. The store needs to be consistent with its policy: there is no place for favouritism based on any grounds. Dad has been a customer there for years, and was quite upset when he learnt what had gone on. Needless to say, won't be returning.

    I have been visiting Rn3 since 2000 both here and the smaller shop before they moved. Where else can you get a fresh, hot meal for less than £4? Staff are very friendly and helpful as always. I'd eat there every day if I lived in Bolton. Quick couple of pics after getting a takeaway

    Been coming here on and off for years, the food is still incredible at decent prices. Lovely washing station for those traditionally eating with hands (myself included) which is a nice touch. I have unfortunately noticed portions are getting smaller especially with the meat dishes. Takeaway was 90% rice and barely any meat which was disappointing. Definitely go collect yourself/ eat in for best quality :) Only thing letting down is poor delivery portions. Mostly just rice.

    Neat, tidy place… a place where there is no processed food, all freshly made every day.

    This is one of those spots which is genuinely good and nice to eat in Bolton I would definitely recommend sheesh kebab. This place does everything to a good standard I respect that.

    One of my favourite places to eat in the whole of Manchester! I genuinely went 4 times in one week before they closed for Ramadan. The food is: fresh, filling, flavoursome and SO tasty. Everyone who works there is lovely. I’m looking forward to visiting when they reopen! ❤️ This place is truly something special!!

    Good food but my biggest issue is ALL 3 curries are on one plate which prevents you from tasting each curry separately, as someone who loves their food, yet hates mixing different curries, sadly Wont go back again, there’s a similar competitor to them that provides the same service but with better food organization and their plates allow you to have wach curry separately.

    Very nice authentic food perfect every time

  • 5/5 Dawah D. 1 year ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Been here a few times now. I have to say I love the concept of rice with three curries of your choice but what is really special is the nihari on Saturdays. It really is worth travelling a way for. They serve the nihari from 11:30am onwards until it’s basically, run out. They close at 5pm

    I've been going here for years. I've not been for a little while and decided to treat myself. I was shocked, the food was no where near as nice as it used to be. It was very bland, which is not something that I would normal associate with rice and three. I was very disappointed 😞 maybe its because it was on the weekend, I don't know 😕

    This is what happens when you ask for extra sauce! This place is in the heart of Bolton town centre. Very cheap and good tasting Indian food. For the cost of about 2 greggs pastys, it's always better to go here and have a proper sit down meal for the same price.

  • 5/5 nasir a. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy food and the staff are so friendly and take care of the customers. Thursday is my favourite day. Lamb biriyani on the menu

  • 5/5 Mathew G. 11 months ago on Google
    Very bland looking, but don't that fool you. If you like traditional home cooked Indian food, get your lunch here. Brilliant selection, menu changes daily too. Tasty food as if it was cooked in a Indian household, hands down beats 99% of the westernised takeaways throughout bolton. If you miss the opening times try original chaat for a close 2nd.

  • 5/5 Tim H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh and great tasting curry. Took a couple of pals, who were blown away by the nehari. I had lamb and two veg curries with a chapati and a drink and had plenty of change from a tenner.

  • 5/5 christopher b. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely will be back, food was banging. Lamb melted in your mouth, curry had just the right spices. Great value for money and quick staff.

  • 3/5 Bradley M. 2 years ago on Google
    It wasn't the best I have had The lamb kebab starter wasn't the tastiest but the salad was good Then I had half-and-half lamb on the bone and lamb keema there was 3 small Pieces of lamb and the keema was all sauce no mince the garlic naan was nice and thin

  • 5/5 Gary J. 2 years ago on Google
    I previously rated this restaurant. To be honest if i could give 6 stars i would. The food here is cooked to perfection. Curries that to me are more akin to home cooked food as opposed to restaurant food. I had keema curry, chicken curry with basmati rice and a roti to go with it. Words would be inadequate. Food cooked with love with depth of flavour. Beautiful, fresh and absolutely delicious. Can't praise this eatery enough. Highly highly recommended. Great thanks to those who cooked it. If this was my last meal, i would die happy.

  • 5/5 abdoul s. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality fresh foods all the time here well made and quickly served

  • 5/5 saweu u. 3 years ago on Google
    Have to say the Lamb Chop Curry is absolutely delicious. This is only every Tuesday as they go different dishes every day, but every Tuesday one of the dishes is the Lamb Chop Curry. Recommend this wholeheartedly. Bought some today for my contractors working in Bolton today and they want to go back to get more!!

  • 5/5 Lord A. 2 years ago on Google
    The best food I’ve ever had. I used to live local and go at least once a week. I’ve moved to Wigan now- but still drive to Bolton for it. Great fresh food that leaves you with a full belly. Not been as much because of lockdown and that’s disappointing. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Daniel O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great clean fresh food. I get a chicken tikka kebab on a naan every Friday as a treat. Superb

  • 5/5 Lee B. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place to eat in Bolton. Great food, fast service and very pleasant staff. Worth more than 5stars in my opinion. Each day has a different menu, so you tend have a 'favourite day'. Mine is Monday-Saturday 😀 I spend that much time there, so was thinking of having my mail redirected.

  • 5/5 Stephen C. 2 years ago on Google
    My family have been enjoying your fantastic food for years. It's so great to see all the familiar faces that have been working there for so long! Affordable, authentic food... Rice 'n' Three is the place!
