10 Best restaurants for Indian in Blackburn

Hajis

Nice little place in Blackburn, tried it for the first time and definitely will be going back.
Service was spot on, clean, good seating upstairs for families, amazing food at good price. All this food for £35 which included two drinks. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing Food, good variety and the main man MOZAM is back running the place like it should be run.

Recommend the pizzas, currys, burgers, donner, stir fry donner, chicken tikka, seekh kebabs, chicken wings and if you have time the karakh Chai.

Tawas are also popular and have a good mix of food.

5 Stars all round

What a place!!!! Mindblowing! What a food and service top class! Deffo best place in Bburn! Highly recommended. Raff and Nicole.

ORDERED VIA THERE WEBSITE FOR DELIVERY FOOD WASNT VERY HOT SALAD WAS REALLY LESS CONSIDERING I ORDERED LARGE KEBAB ROLL ALSO FRIES TASTED LIKE IT WAS REFRIED 10 TIMES WASN'T FRESH WON'T BE ORDERING AGAIN! ALSO ASKED FOR RED SALT TO BE PUT ON. ON NOTED DIDN'T PUT IT ON

Needed a pizza in a hurry, popped in as it looked quiet.

Service was quick.

The pizza was ok but wasn't too keen on the taste.

I also bought a naan but I wasn't impressed it was too thin and bland.

Manchester Sweet Centre

I tried this shop for the first time after hearing a recommendation, but was shocked to find a hair in the veg samosa (photo attached). This is unacceptable and shows very poor hygiene. Definitely needs improvement

Update: Interesting that the owner says this isn’t from their shop maybe the samosa walked into my bag by itself? I trusted your place because of a recommendation, but finding a hair inside was a very real and disappointing experience. Denying it doesn’t change what happened.

I’ve been enjoying these vegetable samosas for over 30 years — and I can honestly say, they are in a league of their own. No other veg samosa has ever come close to the flavour, texture, and satisfaction these ones offer. Every bite brings back memories and creates new ones.

What really sets them apart is not just the well-seasoned, generous filling — it’s that chutney. Honestly, it’s a game-changer. With its tangy, vinegary kick and plenty of onions, it brings a mouthwatering balance of sour and savoury. It’s unique, it’s bold, and it’s downright addictive.
The shop itself has been a staple in our community — a warm, welcoming place run by good people. Friendly, down-to-earth, and always happy to see you. Most of my family and friends have been loyal customers here for years too — it’s a spot we all go back to time and time again.

In a world full of changing trends and fast food fads, it’s rare to find a place that keeps things consistent, If you haven’t tried their samosas and chutney, you’re seriously missing out. Proper, honest food made with care. Highly recommend.

This has been my go to all my life but recently things have changed. The taste is still there but the punjabi samosa are not far off from a gujerati size samosa. They have gone really small

Everytime I bite into the samosas and kebabs from here it instantly takes me back to my childhood in the early 1980s. The meat samosas, the seekh kebabs and the chutney has the original taste. It's just so nostalgic the way they been able to keep to the original taste. You cannot beat the samosas from here.

Still the best samasos around - all meat filling! Who can say that these days. Dont expect a nice sit-down affair though, the place is fairly grim from a 'restaurant' perspective and the decor is still as it was 25 years ago.

Food Smuggler

I ordered some food after seeing an advert about the Grand Re-opening (29th Nov 2025) .  I have been here previously many times and enjoyed the food, quality, service and portions.
But to my surprise - today’s delivery was shocking!! - website said 50% off so I invited friends around and ordered lots of food - the portions in the little tubs were shocking!! - I don’t know if this is under a new management - but it’s not fair saying food is 50% off but portions are 50% smaller! - not a happy customer today!

10/10. We went here this morning food was very tasty and the portions are generous. Tea was also spot on. Wishing the new management all the best

I had a pleasant experience yesterday!! The food was great!! We ordered some parathas which were mouth watering and delicious!! We also ordered a kids meal- chicken nuggets and chips- that too was very tasty! The chips were soo fresh and crunchy, ended our meal with some beautiful karak chai! Great atmosphere and a lovely service from the staff!!

Aloo paratha was great. Spicy and delicious. The tea was fresh and the presentation was great too. Top stuff will definitely be returning and spreading the word!! Had a great breakfast after a long time!

Small, low key, no frills, simple, old school kinda place! No complaints about the food and it was just what was needed on a Saturday morning, an all lads breakfast meet up - heavy, greasy, tasty, full on breakfast munch! If you’re looking for such an experience then get down. If however you're looking for somewhere upmarket, instagramy, with nicely presented food and pretty cups / cutlery then don’t bother, it’s not for you. Loved it and will be going back for more greasy breakfast grub! 😋

Cafe District Blackburn

Wow wow wow .. got to give this place a try if you’re into street food / indo chinese!! The main chef is from Gujrat in India and has experience of running a family restaurant in his home country. The service, presentation and quality of food was superb. The flavours were a delight. All the food was served fresh and on point. Defo coming back. Not the ideal location, opposite the bus station in town and it closes at 10pm. Plenty street parking in evening but it’s a 5 minute walk in. During the day, you will need to use paid car parks.

I recently stumbled upon this cozy little café tucked away on a quiet side street, and it instantly became my new favorite spot in the city! From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance enveloped me—soft lighting, rustic wooden tables, and the irresistible aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods wafting through the air.
The menu is a delightful mix of classic and creative options. I opted for their signature avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of truffle fries, and it was perfection on a plate: the bread was perfectly toasted, the eggs runny just right, and the flavors exploded with every bite. Paired with a velvety latte art that looked almost too pretty to drink, my meal was pure bliss. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering recommendations with genuine enthusiasm and ensuring everything was spot-on.
What truly sets this place apart is the attention to detail—from the locally sourced ingredients to the charming outdoor seating with fairy lights that make evenings magical.

Great place to calm down and drink its modern and spacious. Nice coffee too that had been freshly roasted full recommendation. Mogo chips were flavourful a healthier option than fries/chips, I come here quite regularly, I throughly enjoy their Prantas which are made with desi ghee came with achar and yogurt which had lovely authentic homely flavours tasted just sublime.

First visit and will be going again. Massive choice of food so something for everyone, even the fussy eaters! Gol guppay were out of this world and would be happy just getting a larger tray of these to myself. Lahori lamb was recommended and can see why. Thali was enjoyed too. Omelette and channay full of flavour. Excellent attentive service. Will definitely visit again

I ordered panipuri, samosa chat and pav baji
with a strawberry bliss mocktail and a mocha.
The food is proper desi food from a grandma’s recipe book. The taste is amazing and the customer service is excellent very polite people in here
The atmosphere is great and clean.

Cafe District

Shajan

Lovely curry and lovely staff inside the restaurant. Love the food from here. Always making you feel welcome. Would highly recommend.

Party of 12 and the service was spot on! Delicious food. Everyone really enjoyed it. Nice decor and clean. Would highly recommend.

Went here on Mothering Sunday with family. We had pre-booked a table, thankfully! The restaurant was full. I have never been to a restaurant so busy! Plenty of staff on duty. We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival. Orders swiftly taken and before we knew it, starters had arrived. All freshly cooked! These and main course were amazing. Very tasty and authentically made. There was no delay with our meals, despite the entire restaurant being fully booked and people waiting.
This restaurant is very well organised, efficient and with friendly staff. There was nothing to fault and is possibly the best Indian restaurant I have ever eaten in! For the quality, the prices are reasonable in my opinion. I will definitely be going again, although would like to try it when it is not so busy. I am already recommending this place to family and friends alike. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED....!

I wouldn't normally write a review but this place exceed expectations. Someone holding the door as we walked in and a warm welcome our coats was taken and hung up. Staff went out of their way to make sure all needs where meant.  I express I would like my food cook with as little oil as possible.  Everything was freshly cooked well presented and tasty start to finish. 60th vegetarian cake was provided at the end fantastic place thankyou.

We have been to shajan several times before but today was a new experience for us. Upon ordering our food got told the children could not share a curry. Taking plates away feeling rushed as the children were still eating and then to top the night off Upton paying the bill was higher then we expected my husband just paid and left whilst I was sorting the children. I went back in to question the bill and he had over charged us by £36.70. Please check your bill before paying.A

Lahore Qila Restaurant

Booked Lamb Leg Roast, I must say it was one of its kind, really delicious and enough for 5 person. They say it’s 3-4 person serving, but for me an average 5 person can eat to their full belly.

Service, atmosphere and food, all in all 10/10

Went Lahore qila for the first time
We got the full kg Lahori chicken karahi
Gotta say it was very nice and fresh
It was just like the karahis you have in Lahore
The service from tauseef and hamza was good also

Stunning interior design and fantastic staff! Very attentive and welcoming! The food was PERFECT!!! 🤩 would highly recommend! We ordered mixed bbq, lamb biryani and whole steamed chicken! Freshly cooked ! Thank you! ☺️

This was my first time here and the food was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth the wait — it’s the most delicious food I’ve had in a long time. I came without a booking, and the staff handled everything smoothly and professionally, offering excellent service from start to finish. A must-try place for families. It can get quite busy, but it’s truly worth it at Lahori Qila.”

Just had an unreal meal at Lahore Qila – Wahid, Ibrahim, and Kashif were top-notch with their service, making sure we had everything we needed. Now, the food... absolutely banging! The grilled rice platter was packed with flavor, and the lamb karahi? Forget about it! So rich and tender, it's easily the best I've had in ages. If you're looking for a spot with great vibes and even better food, this is it. Highly recommend hitting up Lahori Qila ASAP!

The nan bread was cooked to perfection 👌had the peshawari nan bread. The pilau rice was soft and fluffy. Lovely christmas tree and decorations and playing xmas music l. Absolutely perfect👌

food was 10/10, the portions are amazing especially considering the price (using the £13.95 pp menu, which offers poppadoms & chutney, starters, main course and sundry). the staff are all very kind and well-mannered; the cleanliness is on point. i cannot fault this place at all and will definitely be coming back!
