Anar Kali Haslingden in Rossendale

Service was great, and food was gorgeous can recommend the southern Indian garlic chicken with stuffed nans!

Lovely friendly staff. Not been in a while but delicious food!

Friendly staff good food and prices

Had the Thali for 2 set meal absolutely stunning food from the mixed starter to trying 5 different dishes with Keema rice & naan bread great why to try out different curries & great value for money will definitely have this again

Tasty food and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and really look after you.

Turned up , not too busy, waited about 5 mins for a table, after about 15 minutes we had to ask for our order to be taken, starter was very good, main was average, dessert still partially frozen, felt like our custom was not appreciated, and very little interaction with staff, it wasn’t like this on previous visits but I fear this will be our last, when a business doesn’t appreciate your custom then time to go elsewhere, which is a shame as we were celebrating a birthday, certainly spoilt the day.

We had Pistachio Chicken, Chooza Chat-Wala and Afghani Lamb Koria, all of which were new to us. All three were excellent.

We had the most lovely time as part of a charity evening with people I didn’t know but it was great We had paid a set price and got a selection of food brought out We had poppadoms and chutneys A mixed started of cauliflower pakora, chicken tikka, onion bhaji & sheesh kebab Then there were many bowls of different currys including vegetable / prawn/ chicken tikka masala/ lamb madras / plus a beef one Also naans but up into slices and plenty of pilau rice Then we had a dessert of either chocolate cake or strawberry cheesecake with ice cream Everything was delicious and the staff were super polite and friendly Interior is very smart Car park across the road

This is by a million light years the best Indian restaurant not only in the area but that I have ever been to. The service is second to none every time, really friendly, polite, professional. Food is exceptional, I have never been disappointed. Cannot recommend enough

A fantastic culinary experience. The staff are charismatic, polite and incredibly friendly. The food was delicious! tender cooked chicken with tons of flavour and a joy to eat. Topped off by orange slices and a complimentary cheesecake of our choice. Could not recommend more highly best curry in the North West.

Went today for a birthday meal, and what an amazing experience. We went for the early bird offer, which is an amazing offer. All our food was amazing and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Very lovey staff Top of my list for indian food

We've been here twice now and love the experience from the food, drinks and efficient service.

A party of eleven enjoyeda meal at Anarkali on Wednesday have booked to go again. The service food and atmosphere was first class would definitely recommend

Arrived with friends, and we were seated very quickly. It's been some years since I was last there, and the place looked just as good. Great choice of menue. The staff were very polite. Once the food arrived, it was good. Overall, I would call again. It's just a bit pricey.

Great food and helpful, friendly staff who couldn't do enough for the client I was supporting.

Really lovely restaurant. You can see that the owners are working hard to deliver a high standard service and environment. The menu is varied and delicious. I have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Try it, you will love it!

Never disappointed at the Anarkali. Tried the Early Bird Menu this evening and couldn't fault it. Support local business!

Table booked for 1830 still sat in restaurant at 0850, requested to take dessert home as part of the early bird menu due to needing to get home but was told no by the manager as they don't offer the option of taking food away despite allowing me to take my curry home in a takeaway box. Manager blamed slow service on 'jam packed' restaurant, it was not 'jam packed' at any point. Our waiter seemed friendly but could not understand English which it made it difficult to make any requests. Food mediocre. We were looking forward to our visit but left with absolutely no thoughts on returning.

Very slow service, lack lustre and frustrating. Took a long time to order food and there was lots of waiting around, it really seemed like the waiters just didn't care. The food was lovely, particularly the paneer tikka but what lets this place down is the waiting staff and level of service. I should also say tiny diet cokes are £2.95 (!!). Management were rude when we raised issues with the speed of service. If you want high-quality service there are plenty of Indian restaurants in Ramsbottom that are always on it in terms of service. We left disappointed, you need to appreciate your customers more.

All OK but just not too our taste, so all very subjective.

Best Indian I’ve ever been to. The decor inside is great unlike most Indian restaurants. Yasin, his wife and staff are great hosts. The food is incredible. Cannot rate this restaurant highly enough.

Food was amazing ! Service was great, we tried the early bird menu and couldn’t believe how much you got for £14.99! we will definitely all be returning!

Where do you even start. Having been a hospitality manager, I was both shocked and appalled to see a waitress/server shouting at a customer who dared to question the service on offer. Having been neglected for nearly an hour and a half despite having a booked table we had to leave, we weren't the first either. Busy day maybe, poorly managed definitly. Rude, ignorant, arrogant. All words to describe the service tonight. Your red flag is always when the owners reply to defend themselves. Rather than accept they may have got it wrong on the night, reply to the review further insulting paying customers. Embarrasing.

Booked for Father’s Day for 5pm. When we arrived there was a que outside with people who hadn’t booked, inside absolutely chaotic. Lots of people stood around waiting to be seated in the bar area, staff ignoring customers who had booked & seating larger parties of people who hadn’t booked before the people who had booked!. Finally got seated at around 6pm after we kept asking when our table would be available. This was into a conservatory that looked to be falling down , bricks missing and part of the roof falling down…. Cold & damp. Food was just ok after finally coming to our table at around 6.30 pm but the owners were extremely rude to various customers. Will not be returning.

Lovely evening spend with friends service and food were fantastic.

Attended my sons football presentation. A lovely clean restaurant. Staff was all friendly and efficient. Food was lovely. My son said was the best korma he's ever eaten. Really lovely afternoon.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anarkali restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was inviting, with beautiful decor that transported us to the heart of India. The menu offered a delightful array of authentic dishes bursting with flavor. Each bite was a culinary adventure, and the presentation was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. We left Anarkali feeling thoroughly satisfied and already planning our next visit. If you're craving exquisite Indian cuisine served with passion and flair, look no further than Anarkali. Highly recommended!

Busy restaurant with take away. Food, as always was excellent

Went to AnarKali for an NSPCC organised event... the food was gorgeous, setting perfect for the event. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff are very friendly, a lovely atmosphere...we will definitely return.

We have tried all the main Indians in the Rossendale area and this one is by far the best (great food, atmosphere and friendly service). See you again soon!

Dined tonight awesome food service excellent will be back

Excellent food and service as always. Fantastic choice and quality. All staff are always very friendly, polite and nothing is too much trouble.

Tonight I decided to order a collection take away order from the Anarkali. Earlier this week I received a flyer through my door stating that they were offering a 30% discout if you paid cash collected your take away & orderd on line. I orderd on the on line website & chose my meal. Picking to pay cash & collect my order for a 30% discount. It stated that my meal would be ready for collection by 6:35. I arrived at the restaurant and was told my order wasn't on their ordering system. They said I could order again on site. I asked if I would still receive the 30% discount & they promptly replied with a NO as I had to order on line. I walked out empty handed. The customer service is diabolical. I will not be going again & urge people to be very wary of the online website ordering service. It makes me wonder how many other people have had the same experience & had to pay in full at the restaurant just to get there order.

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.

First take away from them. Food was good, fresh and flavoursome. My wife loved the chicken sag and tarka dhall. My madras was also good. Staff were attentive and helpful. We will return.

So we've just had our first meal here and what an amazing experience. The food and the service were second to none. Visited with family from Portsmouth and in their words 'we'll be back'. Absolutely we'll worth a visit

Amazing all around , excellent service- staff couldn’t be friendlier. the food was excellent with a relaxed atmosphere - will definitely be back soon

Excellent service. Delicious food.

Rang up on the day and they still managed to squeeze us in. Greeting on arrival really friendly and shown to table straight away. Menu choice is amazing with lots of choice in all sections. Food was served deliciously hot and when we asked for a break between courses this was no problem. Lovely lounge area to relax and let the meal settle before setting off for home. Nothing too much trouble, we will be back!

Lovely food and lovely staff.... had an issue on a previous occasion but the restaurant redeemed itself with tonight's visit....

Everything was perfect. The service was friendly and professional. Easily the best curry in the area. Can’t wait to return.

amazing food with great portion sizes and amazing staff that help you when you need them and all very nice and talkative to is is the best curry house in all of Rossendale

Great food which is very tasty friendly service. Worth a visit. First time here but will return. Clean and comfortable.

Yet another lovely meal at Anar Kali. Relaxing atmosphere, quality food and friendly staff. This was a Mon eve but have been many times over last few yrs, weekends and weekdays. Sad to see the place empty this eve as the owners try so hard. This is a family run restaurant, much better than a chain. Try it!

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. #useitorloseit

Relaxing atmosphere and great food (Monday evening).

Fabulous food service and atmosphere we went as a group of fourteen and we weren't disappointed excellent would highly recommend

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.

Amazing food, amazing people, great service - a true family founded business - a real hidden gem for anyone passing or wanting a good nice meal

Excellent service and tasty food allround. Booked in advance for a couple and got a lovely table. All table were full which say something. Chill chicken massala was absolutely delicious however it made me sweat. :)

Great service, plenty of choice and delicious food. Nothing too much trouble despite the restaurant being busy. We’ll definitely be back.

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.

Absolutely fantastic night. Great service in a relaxed family atmosphere. Will definitely return soon. Given a great discount too so very happy

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.

If I could put more than five stars for this lovely place I absolutely would! No brainer! I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now, and have become quite the regular. The food is the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever tried, but the lovely staff, charming interior and excellent customer service have to be the number one here! Can’t recommend enough.

This was our 1st time visiting Anarkali and it certainly won't be the last. The restaurant is well laid out, with ample seating, from booths for 2, to larger groups. The selection of food on the menu is amazing, as well as the wine and beers list. When the food arrived... Oh my! It was amazing, and tasted divine. The service was excellent and all the staff were really attentive, but not overbearing. The cost was very reasonable, and well worth the money. We have eaten in many Indian restaurants around the country, and can safely say this is in our top three, only beaten by our visit to Goa. Give it a go, you definitely won't be disappointed!!👍🏽👍🏽

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.

Friendly staff. Clean and tidy restaurant. Food was delicious. Welcoming environment . Reasonably priced. Would recommend

Good food let down by really poor service. 40 minute wait for a drink, incorrect meals delivered, not all mains arrived at the same time. Had to chase up the drinks 5 times. The bill was also incorrect. Very crowded bar area and people standing near our table waiting to be seated. Staff didn't seem bothered.

Amazing place with amazing food and great staff. Super restaurant so get yourself booked in 👍

We have only been a couple of times , so far but have found the food very nice. They seem to have a much larger choice of starters than you often get in similar restaurants which is great. The staff are extremely nice and great service. There is a lovely ambience in the restaurant. We'll definately be going back.

1st time dining in last night and the food was fantastic. Lots of flavours and plenty left to take home. friendly service and will definitely be visiting again 🙂

Visited with my family for an impromptu night out! The food was fabulous and the service was second to non! I highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you 🤩

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 recommend

Just back from having the most wonderful meal at the AnarKali Indian Restaurant at The Farmers Glory Inn in Haslingden. Greeted and looked after by Yasin and his wife Salma from the moment we walked through the door.....the restaurant is spacious, very clean and has lovely tasteful furnishings and decor throughout. The restaurant provides a full and very extensive menu, you definitely won't be stuck for choice. The food was absolutely deliciously tasty, piping hot, so fresh and full of flavour. Starters were had, then for my main course I had a Special Mixed Pathia, Trish had the Exoctic Shashlik and Mr G had the Marki Massala each with sides. I have never tasted lamb so tender as that which was in my meal tonight. Thank you once again to Yasin and Salma for their hospitality and to the chefs who cooked this delicious food for us...it was truly appreciated 💖 x x Thank you Helen Yates for the recommendation 💖

Beautiful meal today. Mixed tandoori starter, Afghani lamb curry with the most tender lamb ever. Beautiful and tasty. Really enjoyed it. Lovely staff 👌

We had a reservation for 6, but upon arrival, there seemed to be confusion, leading to a 20-minute delay before getting a table. It took an additional 15 minutes to receive our drinks. The food was average, and despite the hefty bill (£96 for 3 mains, 1 starter, and 5 disappointing soft drinks), the overall experience left us with mixed feelings

Just love this restaurant. The food is amazing. The staff are lovely.

Fantastic Christmas day, brilliant atmosphere pleasant staff wonderful food altogether an amazing day 'Well done Anar Kali'

Nice decor, food was great! Unfortunately the seating is tight inside as tables are too close together so it gets very loud very quickly. Service was OK, but if you're seated away from the bar you get forgotten about, waited some time to order extra sundries and another drink.

CHRISTMAS DAY What an incredible and special experience, eating out on Christmas Day at Anar Kali. From the second we walked through the door, the welcome and atmosphere was amazing. Christmas flowing through the restaurant with all staff wearing party hats and classy decorations everywhere. We were seated and complimentary fizz given before taking our order. We have never had a Christmas Day experience like this one. Lots of choice on the Special Christmas Menu....within the price we could have poppadoms, starter, main, rice, breads, pudding and coffees. We were also given chocolates and wine which we appreciated so much. The staff literally couldn't do enough for us. So friendly, warm and welcoming with adaptations made for one of our family members, who wanted a plain Korma...nothing was a problem and the food was exceptional and perfect. We were too full to have our pudding so the staff put it into containers to eat at home. Our elderly member of the family chose traditional Christmas Dinner which came with all the trimmings and he said it was beautiful...it looked delicious. Crackers were good quality, with superb surprises inside that kept us all entertained in between courses. The whole experience was superb and we didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you to you all front of house and back for the commitment, care, love and expertise you shown to us all on Christmas Day to make us all feel special. From Sharon and Nathan xxxx

Food was pretty good - in particular the King Prawn Puri, the prawns were huge! The manager is an arrogant bully and sadly ruined the whole experience. I sent back my main as they brought me the wrong dish, I didn't like it and I didn't eat it. I told the waiter and asked him to knock it off the bill. When the bill came it was still on so I asked again for this to be taken off. The manager came over asking what the issue was and he got very argumentative and quite aggressive saying that I should have told him that I had an issue and not "just a waiter" who shouldn't have agreed to knock the meal off the bill. I explained that I just told the person who took my food away and I couldn't be expected to wander round the restaurant looking for him. He was very arrogant in the way he spoke to me and then said he was going to knock my meal off the waiters salary!! I have never been spoken to like that by anyone in a restaurant and it was their error! Wont be returning!

Fantastic local restaurant! The food was great and the service even better. Support your local businesses, guys!!!

Booked for 20 of us to get together as a group before Christmas. Expected it to be a bit disjointed as we're quite a big group and there was another group in too; couldn't have been more wrong. The staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and the organisation was a sight to behold as all 20 meals came out at the same time, all hot (none had been standing in the side) all delicious and no mistakes with sides or accompaniments. The best Indian, with the best service and probably the best group meal I've had in years if not ever!

Excellent evening great food and service

Poor service , takeaway quality food, very slow taking orders and order was wrong when it came out, too expensive. If in rossendale go to Kashmir or nila. Tried telling staff about orders being wrong but was ignored.

The food and service is amazing! Love the peshwari naan from here, keep it up 👍🏿

We ordered a takeaway to be deliverd. It was extremely bad service. Arriving late, we called several times chasing it up and just getting fobbed off. An hour and a half after the time they said delivery would be it arrived. Only to find the vegetarian meal ordered was chicken. Which did not go down well with the vegetarian person. Also a nan bread missing. I would have thought they might have chucked a few extra in. Wont be trying it again. MM

Came here for our works Christmas do and was amazing food and service. Would recommend and certainly use in the future ☺️

Excellent food every time we have been. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Great service. Would highly recommend.

Great food and service in pleasant surroundings.

Best indian ever! Lovely place friendly staff excellent food!

We were a group of 4, including a couple on holiday from Australia. Food and service was excellent, as usual, from this quality Indian restaurant. My wife and I had chef signature mains: Komka Fully Chicken, which included a shot of Cointreau, and I had the Chooza Chat-Wala. Both delicious. Our friends both enjoyed their Danchak and Korma meals. One of the owners took the trouble to check we enjoyed our meal and had a chat with us at the end. There is good parking space available at the side of the restaurant and plenty of vegetarian options. It also has an easy entrance for wheelchair users. This restaurant is well worth a visit and to support a quality local business.

Went for evening dinner, food really nice and enough too satisfy your appetite, can't comment on cost as it was a friend's treat.

How lucky am I. I received a message from Anar Kali Indian Restaurant at the Farmers Glory Inn on the top road heading to Haslingden. I HAD WON A £40 TAKEAWAY. I ordered a takeaway for 5 of us, with starters, poppadoms, naans. The food was superb, great portions, lots of things on the menu I've not had before. It was delicious. Ready on time. Piping hot. Don't be out off as it's on Haslingden Road. A 15 minute drive for us is no different for us to go to either Dunscar, Edgeworth, Egerton or Ewood. We are so blessed to have such quality food to choose from & I can't wait to eat in the restaurant. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Excellent food. Needs more people to support the place.

In my personal opinion the best Indian restaurant in my local area. The food is simply authentic and cooked to perfection. A wide choice on the menu of both food and drinks. First class service and a wonderful host. Would well recommend going.

Great food and great service. Can’t ask for any more.

Excellent food and service, friendly staff, Will recommend to dine here

Waited for well over an hour for mains to arrive, food order wrong, staff kept coming over with drinks we had already ordered and received. Was not impressed very expensive for what we got

First time here tonight. Very nice food, fabulous service. Everyone very polite and friendly. Can tell the food is freshly cooked. Lovely decor. Definitely worth coming back! Great promos on the food too. Thank you

Best Indian ever, everything we’ve ever had has always been amazing. Service top notch and you’d be hard pushed to find better! We go at least weekly :-)

food and service was absolutely brilliant, staff were amazing

Lovely food, great service and a reasonable price too, will be back😊

Atmosphere was lovely, staff were attentive and pleasant. Food was delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening. Highly recommend, will be back.
