Lovely indian with decent portions. A bit out of the way but worth the taxi fare! We were there for a charity dinner which was ample, we all left suitably satiated.

Many visits to this local restaurant. Weekdays provide a relaxing atmosphere. Excellent service and quality food as always.This place should be valued as an asset to our local community in Rossendale. #

Myself and my husband went to this restaurant by accident. And ooh boy what an amazing accident it was!!! We only had poppadoms each, butter chicken tikka for my husband and I had Bengali fish. We shared a naan bread and a rice. Everything was cooked to perfection, naan was fluffy and light, not doughy.We will definitely go there again and try something else.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Anarkali Indian Restaurant, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for an enjoyable evening.Our server, Tayyub, provided impeccable service, ensuring we felt well-attended throughout our meal. We opted for the Afgani lamb korai and the chicken tika Bozza special. The Afgani lamb korai, with its flavorful blend and a perfect medium heat, lived up to its 2-chili rating. The chicken tika Bozza, a mild curry in a rich tomato sauce, was equally delightful.What truly stood out was the freshness of the dishes. Each bite conveyed the care taken in preparing the food, and it arrived at our table piping hot, just as it should be.The staff's friendliness and attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening. Anarkali Indian Restaurant has successfully created an environment where the love for good food and hospitality intertwines seamlessly.In conclusion, Anarkali Indian Restaurant exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to returning for another memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of authentic flavors and exceptional service.

Went for a meal last Friday after friends recommended this restaurant. Well we weren't disappointed greeted by a gentleman who seemed to be the manager shown straight to our table and it just got better from service to the best indian we have had for a long time.Will definitely be back soon really good experience.

Nice atmosphere but the food was underwhelming especially for the price. I had the Biryani which lacked flavour but my partner was ok with his meat.

Always welcoming.Lovely staff always. Would highly
Ordered takeaway from Anarkali, there was some initial delay in getting the order to us but once phoned and spoke to the restaurant, they were quick and attentive in getting the order to us and made up for the delay. Food was excellent and would not be put off ordering again.

I love Indian food and love to cook it but was too tired to go out or cook for myself. I wasn't expecting much and chose the restautant based on the revoews which were good. But I forgot where I live. To be polite, I would say it's not cosmopolitan. It is quite an affluent area but that isn't reflected in the local restaurants. The food arrived late despite a reasonable tip. Itt was chicken tikka puri (spelled puree in the menu but I knew what it was) and butter chicken which isn't an easy dish to cook. Spicy doesn't mean hot and neither of these dishes should be 'hot' hot. The issue was there was no spice, no cumin, no corriander, no garlic no anything. Nothing. The puri sauce had small pieces of chicken tikka which appeared to be in a vegetable sauce with uncooked but warmed tomato. The butter chicken did not taste of butter but cream and completely unspiced, flavourless. The chicken tikka used in the dish was dry. The rice was supposed to be pilau rice. There were a few bright red grains in evidence but no seasoning at all, not even salt and it was watery. But I think that this is more the customer base than the restaurant. Customers who appreciate good Indian food generate good cooking. This is by no means the worst restaurant in the area. But I can't differentiate between poor and terrivle.

Amazing place, a lovely warm welcome as soon as we walked in, service very attentive and friendly, cannot fault the choices on the menu, one of our favourites is pistachio chicken, complimentary Baileys too, well worth a visit ??

Not sure why this place keeps getting such good reviews.Ordered a take away last night and after an hour and a half I rang to see where it was.The staff didn't have a clue I was left hanging on the phone for over six minutes listening to them argue. They then put the phone down so I tried several times to ring back.When I eventually got through they hadn't even started my order.It finally arrived nearly 3 hours late was luke warm and the chips were dry and old.No apology nothing.Whitecroft in future every time for me.Update. The same day the owners contacted me and gave a full apology and explanation to the problems they had that evening.I appreciated this.They also offered a free meal of choice for any day.We have just had that meal and it was really very good. It was tasty, delivered quickly and piping hot.Thanks again.
