Customer Review Summary
Chips are the most repeated draw, called the best in Blackburn and ones to die for, and they often come alongside a kebab roll that regulars say tastes the same as it did years ago. Longtime customers describe nostalgic flavours going back to the 90s, while others mention friendly staff, fast service and reasonable prices. One diner praised deep, authentic flavour and a drink topped with whipped cream, a strawberry and mint. Against that, several reviews say standards have slipped. One says the seekh kebabs are now full of flour and fried, and that dishes taste watered down and sweet, with chips the only thing still good. Another found the aaloo saag and mint sauce not fresh and guessed management had changed. A daily customer says the kebab roll repeatedly arrives with the wrapper stuck on, half the chapatti torn away and the fillings spilling out.

“What a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was packed with deep, authentic flavor and served in perfect portions. The dishes arrived steaming hot in their metal bowls, and you can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the drink topped with fresh whipped cream, a vibrant strawberry, and a sprig of mint. It was a lovely, refreshing touch to finish off such a rich dinner. I will definitely be back again soon.”

“One of my favourite and most nostalgic restaurants to visit in Blackburn, being a regular from the days of it being called standish, & standard. Still the same flavours I remember from the 90’s.”
