  “Great selection of starters, appetisers, sides and mains (including vegetarian options - I had saag paneer as a main which was delicious). I'm not much of a drinker but the rest of the party was well catered for. We felt welcomed and comfortable as soon as we set foot inside the door. Always served with a smile, the staff were pleasant and very polite. Likely to come again next time we celebrate a birthday or family event. Thank you for a great evening!”

  “I had heard that the Achari was the best Indian restaurant in Bolton, so one Tuesday evening my partner and I paid a visit. First impressions were that the restaurant was clean but a little tired looking. There were few people in, so we didn't have to wait for a table. The service was quick and friendly. We are both vegetarians and found the menu selection surprisingly poor. It largely consists of the usual "meat" dishes without the meat. It would have been nice to have the option of paneer, mushroom or dahl dishes for vegetarians. I ordered a vegetarian Jhalfrezi. It was OK, but without meat or anything to substitute for meat it was very ordinary. The dish was dominated by big chunks of onion and red and green peppers, and the preparation felt rather clumsy, with little finesse. My partner ordered a vegetarian Southern Indian Garlic Chilli. Oddly this had some baby carrots in it, but again it was dominated by oversized chunks of onions and peppers. I've rated the food as 2 star because of the poor vegetarian choice. If I'd had a meat dish it may have been 3 star - good but nothing special. There are better Indian restaurants in Bolton nowadays.”

  “Came here with my sister for the first time after 3 years, and the service was just as great. Very fast table service and friendly staff. Our food was nice and steaming, pretty decent portions for the price, and the star of the show was definitely the Vindaloo curry which was at a perfect spice level. 5 stars, would definitely visit again :)”

  “Ignore my terrible picture of the food I was too excited to eat🤣 Genuinely best curry outside of Manchester City centre. I come fairly regularly and have never had a bad experience. I always order a paneer balti and it is the perfect spice level , also has a level of sweetness to it which I’m obsessed with and have never found anywhere else ! Price very reasonable also. As a vegetarian there is lots of choice Customer service brilliant. It’s always nice when waiters remember who you are ! They even gave me a shot of baileys on the house which just rounded off the best evening👌thank you Achari 🙌🏽”

  “Excellent food, excellent service. The food arrived at the table next to us as we were about to leave and it still smelled fantastic even though we were stuffed. Didn't get photos of the main course because it looked so good that we just tucked right in 😋”

  “Great restaurant. A little out of the city centre, but it's worth the short walk. Great friendly service, seriously generous portion sizes and great food. Peshwari naan in particular was really good. Will definitely visit when next in the area. Some interesting clientele. But this seems like the norm in the area....”

  “Well, originally from India, I would give the food typically 1 star. The waiting time was too long understandable due to holidays but the food service time took long too. The starters were okay, and the chicken and the lamb were actually smelling and very chewy. I couldn't even finish my own. The main course I ordered was chicken Karahi an trust me I feared before entering the restaurant if I wouldn't get that authentic indian taste because I have had bad experiences in other restaurants too and the same happened. I didn't like it at all. It wasn't Indian-ish at all. We couldn't finish anything at all. Anyway, the atmosphere was good. Thanks.”

  “Interesting place, good decor, staff attentive and look professional (albeit one waiter looked dishevelled) in particular the young guy n gal on duty. Unusual location but seems to get full quickly. Food not too bad, not much meat and hints of green food dye rice 🍚, it’s the second Indian restaurant I’ve come across that has green rice, very unusual. 160 for 5 people not too bad (prices seem to be inline with other similar restaurants).”

  “This is now my favourite Indian restaurant. It was my 1st visit yesterday and I'll definitely be going back. Everything about it was great, the food, the friendly staff, the decor, the price. We had 2 starters, 2 main, 1 side dish, rice and nann bread plus 2 small bottles of wine and 2 pints of Cobra beer for £50. Its even cheaper on Sundays. Ps. Sorry about the food photos but we ate some before I remembered to take photos.”
