Ashiana Indian Restaurant (Indian Restaurant Preston) in Fylde

Food that's out of this World. Now My One and Only Place to go for Authentic Indian food.

Excellent food and service. Cannot fault it

Fab Restaurant! We use it for sit in and takeaway,, there is no compromise on either regarding quality of the food..

Located right on a main road, Ashiana is an authentic Indian Bangladeshi restaurant. It has a large internal waiting area in the bar for guests waiting for a table and for take away customers. The food was very tasty and good. The mango lassi was also great for my taste, not too sweet and not too salty. The service is very attentive and plentiful. Since the meal with starter and main course was very comprehensive and plentiful, we decided not to have dessert.

Been meaning to try this place for years. Food did not disappoint. Service needs improving though, had to ask for the table to be cleared , not the speediest of waiters. Restaurant was quiet so no excuse. Will 100% go back though as food was good.

Regularly go and faultless food everytime

Visited for our first time on a Sunday evening on our way to watch a show in Blackpool, we hadn't booked so just turned up but we were immediately shown to a table after explaining we were quite limited by time and we need to leave within the hour, our order was taken without delay and our delicious food arrived in very shortly afterwards, at no point did we actually feel rushed but the friendly staff did everything to be as prompt as possible, we actually even had time for the lovely pistachio ice cream for dessert, l was so impressed l suggested to my wife that I'd love to return for my birthday meal at the end of April for a more leisurely meal. Fantastic restaurant

Foot fast 5 out of 10 at best, old short man bald head with grey beard was so rude! He needs to learn some manners when customers are paying for a service! Waited over 1 hour 35 mins for our mains! Huge disappointment from the reviews we have heard.

We had a very rude server x 2, didn't explain properly that the poppadoms and chutney tray was included in the meal deal, just asked "poppadoms?" As if they were like an extra. Then when asked about the deal afterwards he was so so rude in his reply. The food is delicious but it did seriously put a damper on the evening. One server passed over the whole table to the back to a family.member her meal. She took the plate and burnt her finger and said ow thays how, the servers reply "tut it ain't hot!"

When we arrived it was extremely busy and crowded at the entrance. They had enough tables to seat people but were not sending them through. It took around 30 mins to have people come get our orders. After that we got poperdoms, it took around 1 hour 30 for starters to arrive. They were okay, nothing special and some of it didn’t look very appetising. We then waited another half hour for our main to arrive. The steak was well done when we ordered for medium. The food tasted fine but they were fairly cold when it arrived. When we mentioned the steak being bad we had to wait 10-15 mins for them to come back to get the bill. The napkins we got after our meal were warmer than when we were given the food

Good food, friendly staff. One of the best Indian restaurants in the local area with easy access from the M55 and on-site parking. Fairly reasonable prices for dishes.

This has got to be one of the best. Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, and lovely premises.

Staff were rude, even though I had booked a table I was told to wait in the bar area and was left there for quite a while. I read the menu and was not impressed with it at all. I left without eating.

Excellent food and fantastic staff. Highly recommended.

Traveled 2 hours to visit here. And was well worth it. delicious

Yes this Indian Restaurant is one of the best in the area. Food, staff, décor and cleanliness all perfect. I'll be visiting again and would recommend to anyone.

Really gorgeous food, fresh so tasty. Great service, reasonably priced.

Great place to eat, amazing food.

Been here quite a few times and the food as always been amazing but tonight was very dissatisfied,we had 4 meals and 2 of them had no taste at all and was very greasy,the decorative interior as changed so wondering if the chef had changed also?

Superb Indian cuisine. Superb service and a great atmosphere 👏 👌 👍

Very helpful and friendly staff, one of the best and a great atmosphere 👍

Top place to eat great food and staff Will be back for more

Booked a table for 8 for a birthday. Food was cold, attitude of staff was rude and appalling, the worst experience I’ve had in an Indian restaurant, definitely would not return.

Staff was very friendly plus the food is amazing. Never had a bad meal from here. Best Indian around.

I have booked a table for me and my partner to have an enjoyable dinner in Ashiana on 7/9/2024. Booking was done over the phone few days before. Unfortunately, our experience of the place and the staff was far from "enjoyable". We arrived to the restaurant 5 minutes before our booking time (7 pm) and as we stepped in, we found ourselves in middle of a cramped up space in which at least 20-25 people were sitting side by side on benches put down around the room. We waited for a bit near the entrance to see if someone from the staff would come and get us in. After a while, when no one came, I told a staff member that we had a booking for two people at 7 pm. He kindly told us to speak to another staff member at the bar so we made our way between the crowd towards the bar which was on one side of the "space" everyone was waiting. Again, staff at the bar was busy pouring down drinks and answering the phone so we had to wait again for him to actually speak to us. When he finally did, I told him we had a booking for two people at 7 pm. He acknowledged this and told us to find a place to sit in the "space". Interesting thing was, no one ver asked us what name the reservation was made for or looked it up from somewhere to see if the reservation was made - so we believe they did not even actually made the reservation at all. We managed to find a place on the bench to squeeze in across the entrance to the actual dining area. It was quite obvious that there were more than enough empty tables for people to be admitted in that area. We waited around 15 minutes for someone to actually come and tend to us - when they finally did, it was not to get us to our table but to get our drink orders. We were going to order a bottle of wine but we did not want to open and drink it in a cramped up place like that; so we said that we will order at the table. We waited 10 more minutes and no one came and took us in. So we decided to leave the restaurant and go somewhere else in Poulton-le-Fylde. Best decision ever - we arrived to a lovely Indian restaurant with magnificent food in which we were taken to our table straight on just 10 minutes drive away from Ashiana.

What a great Indian restaurant.. Highly recommend

The food was okay nothing special but there was some awkwardness with the staff we asked if we could go through to the restaurant and we weren't allowed, the seats in the waiting area are uncomfortable, we won't be going back anytime soon

Came here with my mum and a friend Saturday evening and we had a fabulous meal. The food really was 5 star, everything was freshly made and had it's own distinct flavour (I often find dishes very similar in flavour at some Indians). We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and hope to return soon. 2 of us were vegetarian and felt the options very good.

Travelling round as a food inspector, I can honestly say the worst place I have ever been. Coke flat, still eating poppadoms when starters were just put on table. Had two chicken dishes that were tastless. Complained, to be told tastless because they were mild dishes. Joke. No apology, or a complimentary drink. Avoid.

Had a lovely meal service was v.good

Myself and my family are regulars to The Ashiana. The food is spot on every time! We recently booked for a large party to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary and couldn't have been happier. The food was unreal, the service couldn't have been better and the staff went out of their way to decorate the tables and walls with banners etc... Thank you to everyone for making it special! If you want a fabulous authentic meal then don't overlook this place!

Delightful food Excellent service,top class 100%👌 Still going strong after more than 20 yrs I know of. Thank you

First time visit for my husband. I took him, to celebrate our 1st Wedding Anniversary and he loved it. The service, the meal, the staff, the ambience all wonderful.

Upon arrival, we ordered a beer, a coke, a J2O and a fruit shoot. Shortly after we were seated at our table, the staff are extremely friendly especially Suhel! The food was fantastic! Would highly recommend you come in. Top Tip: Bring your dad and he will pay! 👍

Visited from a near-by camp site. The staff were lovely and inviting from the moment we entered. Superb service and always with a smile. We had one of the set meal options and food came out at just the right pace without being overbearing with fantastically tasteful dishes. Couldn't reccommend enough. I would even consider making a trip of it with the location being so close to the M55.

Love this restaurant very well organised lovely food and service👍

Have previously enjoyed food from this establishment. Had a major shock tonight in our £64 banquet for four people. The poppadoms were rancid. Unclear whether they were cooked in rancid oil, spoiled during storage or spiked after cooking. We all agreed they smelled of paint bizarrely and tasted of paint. When I returned them to the restaurant, the manager didn't smell them (suggesting he had already done his checking after I called to raise concern) and handed me a bottle of beer and a promise to see things right when I return for a meal in future. He couldn't explain if other food might have been cooked in the same oil or spoiled in some way. I cannot contemplate returning because, trust me, something was badly wrong. Very disappointed because I had previously enjoyed their food.

Brilliant service lovely food there was 7 of us and we all recieved our food together. Would definitely recommend

If you love Indian food, it is the right place to go. You have a few choices, even if you don't like spicy . The staff is very kind and the atmosphere is great.

Very tasty, flavoursome dishes. Some were a little spicy but that is what we enjoy, and the balance was right, not overpowering. Fair prices and good, friendly service too.

First time here. I will definitely be going back. Superb curry 🍛

Great local Indian, my new favourite since moving. Great service, always friendly. Food is always consistently good. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food, great service, recommended 👍

Amazing food, best we have eaten in a long time, friendly assertive staff and a brilliant atmosphere.

What a superb night, fantastic food, fantastic staff in a very clean modern setting. Visited with friends and rounded up bill to £130 for 4 of us with plenty of drinks, very reasonable. Had the garic chilli chicken, and it was gorgeous, no rice, and a peshawari naan. Will be certainly going back and look like my new favourite Indian. Happy days.

Tasty food, great staff and warm atmosphere. Will be going again!

Absolutely love this restaurant, the food is great, the staff are always very welcoming, best in the area!

Visiting the area and decided to try this restaurant. Fantastic service couldnt fault it very attentive and nothing too much trouble the waiter even changed my daughters rice (she has sensory processing disorder and it wasn't the right colour according to her, nothing actually wrong with it). Food was lovely, staff were brilliant all round great place, wish we were local as this would be our go to place! Thanks

Really enjoyable. Great food. Great service and reasobly priced

I loved everything about it,the food was beautiful the staff were amazing,it’s so clean and tidy it was my 2nd time going and we loved it again,so lovely inside and out side parking is great,I 💯 recommend and I’ll be going again thanks-Katie

Absolutely the best Indian food I have ever, ever had, it was perfect 👌 A+++ However 2 things let it down slightly, there were NO hot towels offered after meal and I had the Lindores dessert, Absolutely definitely not what I thought it was and the Only 1 ball/chocolate which wasn't anything the picture on the menu, it had or tasted like hazelnut gone off, and certainly not worth a fiver. But the main, naan breads and poppadoms were amazing.

We had a meal last night for the first time and it was the nicest curry I have ever had in an Indian restaurant! So fresh and tasty! Very impressed! Will definitely be back!

Good food menu's a little basic and prices on the high side but was very nice .

the service was amazing so lovley and nice all staff had a laugh it was fab I will be definitely coming here again I highly recommend 😁the food was outstanding 😍

Went for the Sunday 3 course. Very nice meal and very reasonably priced. Another visit is definitely needed soon.

Been meaning to visit here for a few years and so glad we did! Food is excellent and with Kingfisher on draft what’s not to like? Will definitely be returning.

Can't fault the place! Great staff and food. Price is very very good!

Really lovely food. Great atmosphere. Service was great, could have been a bit better at checking back in for drinks orders etc but it was busy. Would recommend

Fantastic Indian we usually have take out. Brilliant food every time without fail.

Been wanting to call in here every time we pass. It lived up to expectations. Great food and good service. Will call again.

Absolutely love the food here , the staff are lovely, very clean , highly recommended

Excellent meal and exceptional service 👌

Great ambience, service and food, well worth the 15 minute journey from Lytham St Anne's. Recommend the lamb dopiaza.

Had some excellent food previously but this new years was awful. Watered down curry, rice that was a mixture of fresh and old, no condiments with chewy popadoms. Really very poor, it was obvious you were running low and making it stretch out or reheating because of the Xmas period. What a shame as we thought we’d found our local takeaway. Hopefully it will improve again

Really good night! Food delicious, but maybe could have been a bit warmer. There was a bit of a delay between starters and mains, so perhaps there was a delay in the kitchen getting the mains out. Nothing to stop us visiting again. Staff really friendly, and attentive. Thanks a lot for a really good evening. Hope to see you again soon!!!!

Just had the best lamb naga curry ever! Will be back next week

I have driven past this lovely restaurant on many occasions just didn't have the time to stop and eat in , today was my birthday and I decided to come over and try it out by the end of the evening I was kicking my self why didn't I come sooner, honestly the food was absolutely brilliant ,we had a platter for two mix grill, cooked to perfection and plenty for two people, again the main was as good as the platter, the service was brilliant, frendly welcoming staff, they checked on us to make sure we where happy with the food if we needed anything very polite and curtius and the atmosphere was very lively, but humble, people enjoying their meal and evening out this place isn't down so e high street but in nice quiet country lane and people drive to it just to eat and enjoy their meal ,their quality of service and respect which they give is very rare in this day an age Message to the management and staff thank you for a lovely evening and great food not only will I be coming back I will also be recommending yourselves to family freinds.

Took my daughter to Ashiana for a take away. We called up at 18:15 and arrived at 18:50 and the order was piping hot. Ontop of this my wife said it was the best Indian takeaway she’d ever experience. We go here relatively frequently and never had a bad meal.

Really nice place, good atmosphere and amazing food

Very convenient just off the motorway m55 at the kirkham junction before Blackpool

Amazing food every time with great service!

Food was first class first-time here.

I recently dined at a charming Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with soft lighting and cozy seating. I started with the papadam and chutney.The flavors were vibrant, and it set the tone for the meal. The service was attentive, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. In summary, my experience at this indian restaurant was exceptional. The combination of delicious food, cozy ambiance, and top-notch service made it a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic taste of India in a welcoming atmosphere.

Not regular visitors of this restaurant but, have been a number of times. Very welcoming staff and a comfortable place to dine. All was going well until my meal came, a little late but it came. Upon spooning my jalfrezi from the cast iron bowl, I noticed as I got further into my meal and spooned more of it onto my plate, that the bottom of the bowl which should have been gravy was burned. So much so, you couldn't scrape it off the bottom of the bowl. After mentioning it to the waiter, the manager came to us, and we told ¹him the same. When we came to pay, he said just give us £43 instead of the £45.40. I paid the £45.40 and told him of the review I would leave him. Which he didn't seem bothered about. Go back??? Not a chance.

Staff very attentive. We had lamb biryiani and chicken tikka biryiani plus garlic bread. Every mouthful was divine. Deducted a star for atmosphere as we were under a ceiling speaker and the music was not great.

Visited 12 months ago and really couldn't fault it. Visited again last night and was a little disappointed. The staff were lovely and couldn't be faulted. The food, however, wasn't all that. I had chicken shashlick, which was lovely it usually comes with a vegetable sauce. I asked for a rogan josh in replacement. The sauce, which I'm aware of, is tomato based. Tasted like a flavourless watery tomato no curry flavour whatsoever. Mushroom rice, which was absolutely lovely, but at £3.90 you expect a decent portion far from it. The restaurant is really out of my way to visit but enjoyed our first visit. I thought it was worth the drive out. Probably won't bother again

Relaxed atmosphere, great service and the food was great. Recommended if like Imdian food.

The most enjoyable dining experience I've had in a while, and I eat out often. Very relaxing, welcoming and comfortable along with incredible Asian food.

Delicious food in a lovely restaurant. Well presented food and friendly service

Fabulous food and service, highly recommend it. Large menu with some lovely chefs specials. We will definitely return

Been coming here for over 30years. Never ever dissapointed. Top quality fresh food excellently cooked, so much flavour and amazing frienldy staff. Best Indian restaurant ever.

Not as good this year as previous holiday visits. Some of the staff have difficulty in understanding the orders

Perfect! Beautiful food and great service

Food is very very excellent. Service well excellent. Be going again n again

Great good. Staff were very attentive and made sure it was an enjoyable experience. Will definitely go again

I haven't had such a wonderful meal and service for years. We are going back for our Ruby wedding anniversary on Friday! ❤️

Absolutely fantastic Food Perfect Staff Perfect Price Again PERFECT have been going here frequently for over 10 years now and find the ombionce fantastic

Excellent food but very slow service

Our second time visiting Ashiana's and we'll definitely be back. Lovely food, well priced, friendly staff and great atmosphere. This by far is the best Indian restaurant I have visited. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, service and excellent value for Monday!!!

Food and service were excellent . Good value .

Haven't visited here for years as we moved away from the area but finding ourselves back we decided to re visit Nothing has really changed inside... Same place we sat to order food before being taken through to the dining area The food was lovely but the service was a bit hit and miss, it didn't spoil anything just a bit disjointed, tables weren't cleared before the next course, meaning we ended up piling the plates to make room for the next plates to go down... Caused a bit of laughter 😂 Meal was really nice... Everyone enjoyed it

Had a great meal here, food fantastic staff lovely would really recommend

We went to Ashiana for the first time Sunday night.We didn't book a table we didn't have long to wait. The staff are very friendly the food is amazing. Definitely be going back.

Absolutely fantastic one of the best Indian restaurants anywhere many thanks to all the team already looking forward to our next visit

Great meal out, tasty food and lovely atmosphere- buzzing! Amazing coffee pot.

Food was loverly, but I felt the service was a bit of a letdown. I waited a while to be asked what we wanted, the atmosphere was pleasent

Awful food. Takeout. Chicken burnt and naan bread inedible. Overpriced too. Feel robbed

Another fantastic meal at the best Indian restaurant in the Fylde. Super friendly staff and excellent service.

Fantastic food and friendly staff
