Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We have been here so many times with us living in Rishton and it isn’t too far, but after last night we will not be returning again. We ordered our food online at around 6pm where we would pick the order up from the store,...we had to nip to the Co Op to get some money from the cash machine. We got to the takeaway around 6.30pm and we went in and where told that our food wouldn’t be long, we where waiting for our food. Now seeing as its winter and cold, why on earth did you have Air Con on, it was freezing cold in the takeaway waiting for our food, We could see the cold through our breath it was that cold. Our food wasn’t even ready until 7pm! We had been waiting an hour for our food, the person who gave us our food said a remark on it took so long because we ordered all the sauces, with the prices you charge I think we should order all the sauce. Now when we got home, we plated up our food, the food was cold and honestly i don’t even blame it for how freezing it was in the takeaway. But when we started eating my partner had ordered a Kebab with fries and salad there was no Salad, Which we had ordered. Now when i was eating my large fries, with garlic sauce, chilli sauce, i found a hair in my fries, i didn’t even finish eating my fries because After finding the hair in my fries it knocked me sick. We had another Kebab with Pitta bread no salad, and there should of been Garlic sauce and there was hardly any sauce when the person who gave us our food said “it took a while because you ordered all the sauce” We will not be returning here anymore.More

I placed an order on the way home and was told it would be 35 minutes. We turned up to the restaurant 35 minutes after placing the order and was sat waiting for the order to be completed for a further 25 minutes as they...had forgotten about the order! Once we received the food we took the food home and realised there was a missing item, we rang the restaurant up and was told that they would bring the missing item to us. 40 minutes later and the missing item had still not arrived. We rang up the restaurant and was told that they was setting of, we explained that we wasn’t happy and had a response of “ok that’s fine” wouldn’t recommend as customer service was diabolical!More

Very tasty First visit here and not disappointed I just had lamb tikka rogan Josh with chappatis and Lou had chick dhansak with boiled rice! Nice and simple! It was how it should be, very tasty with a nice spicy kick. Lou’s dhansak was a...bit spicier than she’s been used to but again very tasty and both dishes had plenty of meat in them Would definitely visit here again when in the areaMore

The food was ordered at 6.40 for 7.45. The food arrived at 8.35 but who cares when it’s this good! We ordered it expecting it to be 90mins and it’s well worth the wait. The food is freshly prepared, high quality and delicious. The restaurant...and takeaway share videos of them preparing the food on social media and it’s all made fresh and from scratch for each individual order. Absolutely incredible. Order from the Balti house immediately. Expect a wait and open a drink whilst you relax. This food is exceptional.More

Chef Hussain taught me how to cook curries on his YouTube channel. Just had a take away from there and brought it back to Manchester. It was great. Flavoursome and well spiced. Portions were good and everything was fresh. Will definitely go back.

Even the delivery man was so lovely. Now for the review...of my meal.......Absolutely fantastic, was given a small salad also which i was so pleased about. You guys are so brilliant ..was the best Birianyi ever. Thank you, will definatly order from you again.More

Ordered from them after not wanting to for along time (due to same issue as this review!) and the delivery time THEY GAVE US was 5:50. We are now sat here awaiting delivery. My wife called them to find where the order was and they...were just preparing it and it would be on the NEXT delivery drivers run!!! So not only was the delivery 40 minutes late from the time they set but food was STILL being prepared..... Gave them another chance after many issues before over a few years of bobbing in orders but last one for us....could only be worse if they threw it in a bushMore

Foods amazing, but owners attitude stinks. Spent about £120 in two weeks as it’s not cheap and they’ve messed up twice and basically told me I’m lying both times and done nothing about it to help me. Won’t be coming back
