Restaurants in Darwen

Waffles & Chill

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.

Freya's grill

4 of us just dined for the first time @frayer’s grill,the welcome was warm and friendly.we chose to have the £13.00 special menu…the food quality and presentation was excellent we all enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

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

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.

Dolly's Tea Room and Restaurant

We had the Tipsy Tapas last night The portions were generous and the food was delicious Great service from all the staff We will definitely be going back Thank you

Grub at the Hub

Absolutely love my dinners/breakfasts from Marie. She has a great selection of food from breakfast sandwiches/cold sandwiches daily specials soups salads etc

Marie does the best homemade sausage rolls and recently I tried her homemade southern fried chicken for the chicken burgers and wow that coating is something else Absolutely delicious.

Marie is always friendly as are all the customers I have issues with crowds of people and sometimes it can be quite busy but everyone has banter and all chat together it's like going to your mums house to be honest.

Love the food here. Love the service grub at the hub is hidden on darwen services but I would highly recommend you pop in and have a visit for breakfast or lunch

Anaz

Been going for year's and always enjoyed the whole experience, spotless, excellent food and service.we no longer live in Darwen,we live in Clitheroe but if we want an Indian we always go to Anaz.Kid-friendliness: Love to see children.

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.

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!!!!

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!

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.

Chill N Grill

If there were more stars they deserve it. Amazing food great portions and above all excellent high quality. It's weekly take out place since it opened up ??

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!

Roosters

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.

No. 39 Kebab And Pizza House

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!!

The Royal Kitchen

Been using this chinese for a couple of years and for the first time ordered some food for my mother. She had been complaining she couldnt find a decent chinese since she move. She gave her meal 9 out of 10 she said she only found 1 king prawn in her special chow mein, therefore list a point. Very good meals, portion sizes and service 5*

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.

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

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!

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

I'll probably say this is one of the nicer pubs and if not the nicest pub in town, it's perfect on a sunny day out front in a lovely spot in Darwen. If you're planning a walk do visit here on your way back down. It's tradition ?

Polash

Never noticed this place before but I saw it had good reviews so wanted to try. The men inside the takeaway were so sweet, and the food was absolutely delicious. Didn’t expect such big portions for the price! The food was not spicy at all which we were happy with, but if you prefer more spice let them know. Will definitely order again.

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.

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

Cin Cin

Great place to go and have a drink, staff are friendly and welcoming, and even the door staff are great friendly and inviting and willing to engage with customers, and not stand there like max and paddy, so I would recommend anyone to go and check it out

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.
