Restaurants in Darwen

Freya's grill

Really good food with even better service. All of the staff made us feel very welcomed especially a waiter named Frenchie. Definitely recommend to others who are looking for a cheap meal out

Waffles and chill darwen

I found out the menu had changed and had to try, honestly i haven't had a chicken burger that tasted like that in months ??? , so glad to have a place that serves nashville chicken in darwen!!!! Also such a great price

Raj Mahal Indian Restaurant

Tastiest Indian I've had in a long while and prepared really quickly for takeaway, just could have been a little warmer. Prices reasonable and friendly staff on collection. If I was from the area I'd definitely come back but we're only in the area on a short break.

The Bridgewater

Called into the Bridgewater this evening with family for a bite to eat, Jordan and Meg were brilliant, they informed me of what gluten free options there were, they were polite and happy, and knowledgeable about the drinks options. The chefs had no problem with modifying my meal so I could eat along with my family, and this can be a rare thing sometimes! Would recommend

Mangiamo Tapas Cocktail and Wine Bar

Absolutely wonderful place! Manjamo is full of charm and atmosphere – warm, cosy, and beautifully styled. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed evening and sharing tapas.

The food was outstanding. Every dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the care and passion behind each plate.

The service was excellent – friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being intrusive. We felt genuinely looked after from start to finish.

A truly special place that we’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food, great vibes, and fantastic service.

Tiki Taps

I really am hesitant to leave this review as I know we will struggle to get a reservation in future. We visited at lunch time to try The Nostalgia Experience. We were greeted and welcomed by Kelcie on the bar and Chan the chef. We chose to eat in the dining area upstairs but has the option of staying downstairs.
Kelcie came with our food and was very attentive. We were blown away with the depth of flavour in each of the dishes we had chosen to share and really didn't want it to end.
Chef came and did a check back and we had a good natter. It was like having a personal chef.
What an experience for the taste buds, we will most definitely return.

Cavzon

Food is always amazing and hot. We have the motor smoker burger which is delicious and fries most of the time. Ive had kebabs, pizzas from here and they are all lovely too. Best takeaway in Darwen. :)

FLAMES BAR AND GRILL

been here a couple of times recently tonight for a belated mothers day. noted other comments on here but we have had really good service everytime calm attetive relaxed and very helpful. the food everyone has had was also excellent. i had the goats cheese pizza with caramelised onion and it was amazing. my parents had italian carbonara and throughly enjoyed it. also had a good offer on the mains if you had a starter. there is lots of choice and lots of different offers. its just a shame it was so quiet. i was talking to my parents afterwars and we would have paid more for a one course meal in my local pub than flames than our meal tonight. we had three starters three mains a side order of halloumi fries, two cokes, sparkling water, two decaf coffees for £66. we all left stuffed on a really tasty meal so that was great value for me. will definitely be visiting again.

India 2 U

Oh my just had a chicken medium curry not too hot or too mild it was the right strength I asked for saag bahji lovely taste, chips could do with a little improvement but the chapattis lovely and soft. Popadoms and the sauces brilliant. Highly recommended

The Alexandra Hotel Darwen

First time ordering food since new owners, however come here usually after my long walks for a pint. Fabulous food reasonably priced, good service.
Will be back again for the food and good vibes.
Bar staff fantastic as always ?

Premier Lower Darwen

Always well stocked. Cash machine inside and can also get cashback at the till. Have alot of non-branded items so it doesn't feel expensive like some local shops can be. Staff always really pleasant. Parking directly outside.

Artisan Cafe & Wine Bar Ltd

Had a surprise 60th for my dad at this venue and can only say good things. The complementary buffet was lovely and the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough. I would recommend this venue to my friends and family for any of their parties.

The Bank Bar

visited as a group on a hen do for bottomless brunch. Amazing food and superb cocktails. There was no waiting around for drinks they just kept coming. Best bottomless brunch I've been to yet! Fantastic value for money. Really friendly staff, definitely recommend and can't wait to come back.

ROCK INN - TOCKHOLES

4 of us went yesterday for the Friday Chippy Tea menu. Great value and excellent Rag Pudding, double cooked chips, mushy peas plus ordered curry sauce and bread and butter. Loads of beer, cider, lager options. Great service as well, very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We had travelled from Leigh to Tockholes which is a bit of a trek but well worth it and we will be back 5/5. ?

Craven Heifer

I’ve been dining at the craven heifer loads but never been for one of their duo Sunday roast dinners and it was so yummy and the portion size was that big I took half of it home and had it for dinner the next day!!! Roast potatoes was so fluffy Inside, the beef & turkey so tender!!! And delicious !!!! The veg steamed !!!! It was just perfect!!!! The desert apple pie and ice cream was so yummy too!!!!

Akash Indian Brasserie

Service was excellent. My girlfriend has a intolerance the waiter was very knowledgeable about what ingredients were in the food double checked with kitchen making sure they knew about her intolerance.
We felt very safe
Food was well cooked and tasty.

Roosters

Oakenhurst Farm Brewers Fayre

Food was decent but it was the service from one particular girl that made our evening. A girl called Lucy, she needs a raise! Super welcoming straight away, could have a laugh and to top it off I left my aftershave on the table that my friend had got me and she ran out after us to give it back!! Keep hold of her she is a asset!

Pizzeria Di Napoli

Best pizza takeaway in Darwen, they never get an order wrong no matter how complicated it is. Always good delivery and the pizza is always so tasty and no bad stomach the next day.

Kebabish Chippy

This takeaway is local to us and we’ve become their regulars! The staff are friendly, the service is amazing & the food is delicious, nice hot chippy chips and the best cheesiest pizza’s in town!!

Bilash

This was our first time ordering from Bilash, and after reading the reviews on Google, we decided to give it a try.

We sampled a variety of dishes, including Chicken Pakora, Donner Wrap, Chicken Madras, Chicken Korma, Chicken Biryani, and Chicken Tikka Chilli Masala along with a few more

The food arrived much faster than expected, was piping hot, packed with flavor, and absolutely delicious—all at a very reasonable price.

We've sampled every Indian restaurant in the area and beyond and this one is hands down the best.

Kudos to the owners and chefs—you’ve gained a new loyal family of customers!

No. 39 Kebab And Pizza House

The service is just as great as the food and PRICES are amazing very cheap.Ordering is easy, the staff is always friendly and polite, and our order is always ready on time. Even when we’ve had it delivered, it arrives hot and fresh, which is a big plus.

The Royal Kitchen

Ordered a takeaway on a Tuesday evening for a change and wasn't disappointed. Food was piping hot and tasty. I had salt and pepper fried rice which was delicious. Salt and pepper chicken again very tasty and delicious. Got crispy crab which were different for me, not sure on them but that's just me. Curry sauce bit watery but OK. Wouldn't hesitate to order from here again.

Tasty Village Darwen

I dont know why there has been some negative reviews of this take away. We ordered the grilled chicken and grilled half chicken with salad and fries. The order arrived a little earlier than expected and it was fresh and hot. The chicken was well seasoned, cooked perfectly, succulent and hot. The fries were crispy and cooked well. We definitely enjoyed our meals and would recommend these dishes.

The Ranken Arms

Home cooked chips and breaded mushrooms.
Proper roast beef lunch
hot coffee.
Great service. This was my best experience of pub food in a very long time

Secreto Darwen

Another amazing meal at Secreto. I had the fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection. Great selection of Mediterranean dishes, focusing on greek and Italian heritage. Great drinks and service. The only thing I would say is it is small, which isn't a negative, it just means I recommend booking in advance so you aren't disappointed.

Number 39 Brewery Tap Darwen

Fabulous bar with a glittering array of real ales - And! The only bar in the borough to serve German wheatbeer (weissbier) on tap! Plus a few Belgian beers in bottle form (Delerium, Chimay) So tasty! Friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, tasty snacks, live music on selected evenings, outside seating area. Ding dong! Fridinger-a-go-go!?

Sunnyhurst Pub

Fantastic location - with really friendly, welcoming staff. The full English breakfast was fabulous - well cooked, quality produce. The dogs enjoyed a sausage as well. Great selection of drinks and very accommodating overall.

Royal Arms

Great way to finish your walk.

Ramblers Country Cafe

First visit today for Mothers Day breakfast. Fantastic welcome and service the food was fresh, delicious and piping hot. We also took away a free slice of cake which was a lovely gesture. We will be back

Polash

I like choosing a different dish each time. Such flavors and freshness to be thoroughly enjoyed! Give Polash a try next time you fancy an authentic Indian meal. You will not be disappointed!

Olly's Kitchen

Really nice Sandwich shop! Which can be hard to find now a days. Lovely kind staff, good prices and good quality food! I’m quite fussy with my food but they always work around me like cutting fat off and changing my fried eggs to porched eggs and it’s never a problem. I would recommend anyone to go here for lunch if you’re local.

Cin Cin

We stumbled upon this lovely modern bar at the end of our night. If only we had known about it earlier in the evening, we would have spent a lot more time here.
Very friendly doormen and staff. The music was very trendy and the drinks were great.

Ocean Palace

Ocean palace is the hands down the best oriental and traditional restraunt in darwen. Extremely friendly hosts from walking through the door all the way to getting the bill. The Service is excellent and the food is outstanding. We booked for our family of five to go and where seated on a spacious and lovely table. The staff where so attentive and our kids loved the robot! Highly reccomend for your next meal! We have since ordered takeaway and collection was in as little as 20 minutes. Absolutely fantastic!

Haworth's Bakery

Love the butties from here, never tight with the fillings and a fair price for them I always get a large one, there are awesome cakes that are very tempting and a decent size and the pies are great too

Riverside Heights Restaurant

Me and my partner went for the first time yesterday and as soon as we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome by David who we now know runs the restaurant with his wife and a team great staff. The food was delicious and freshly made. It was relaxing and spotless and anyone who likes good home cooking at a reasonable price won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back. Darwen's best kept secret.

Lee's Cantonese Kitchen

Orderd about £40 worth of food, every bit of it was delicious, the batterd chicken in the sweet and sour is perfect and the salt and pepper chicken is delicious, perfect blend of salt, pepper and a slight bite to it. The garlic chillie and chicken is full of rich flavour too. Everything came together nicely and delivered timely and everything was hot.

The owner is so kind and the young gentleman who delivered is very polite!

Portions are of a good size, not like most these days. Will be ordering from here now on
