Ba'bursi in St. Helens

I visited my favourite restaurant and as always loved the food. Only problem is that it's bloody freezing.

First time in tonight with family and I can’t fault the place, great bunch of lads in there, very polite and look after you they didn’t stop all the time we were in there. The food was really excellent and curry was incredibly tasty, service was quick which really surprised me as the restaurant was heaving. Probably the best Indian food I have ever had in 30+ years. Will definitely be going back. Thanks to all the staff in there.

Very nice service quick food good also reasonable priced

Went here with my boss and his friends Never had Indian food before The food was incredible ,the taste ,the flavour unreal Had chicken tikka masala starter and chicken madras for the main and poppadoms with various dips while we waited , the mango chutney was my favourite Really really good food, and would recommend to anyone Chicken was literally melt in the mouth. The madras was hot ,not too hot but perfect balance of flavour and spices and like I said never had Indian food before The service also was excellent,every member of staff made sure they looked after you and a good rapport with you. Atmosphere was also excellent ,the place was absolutely full from arrival until we left ,and had to wait a very minimal time before we were seated given it was a weekend and extremely busy Very very well run restaurant. I never knew this place was there ,but now I know would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone who hasn't been to give it a try ,you won't be disappointed To all staff on the restaurant floor ,very well done and thank you And to the chefs the food was incredible Not my first choice of food before but now I've been it will be . Thank you ba'bursi From.. Table for four booked for 7.30 for Joe Seated at the top of the stairs ,first table on the right.

The standard of the food has gone down and the price has gone up.

My new favourite Indian restaurant, well worth the drive up the m62 from liverpool, onion bhajis absolutely delicious, wife said nest naga she ever had I had lamb patia,divine it was ,brilliant service can't wait to go back

Wouldn’t normally leave a review but had to after our meal tonight. Absolutely unreal the food from this place, the service is even better. The quality for the price you pay is unmatched and the guys are so attentive. The owner even took the time to sit down and have a chat with us about the place. Will be back and regularly !

I go up north for business on regular occasions and eat there every time.

Well , I used to love this place , last tome.i went with hubby, they mixed the mixed orders , so we got red hot vindalo , which made me.ill, complained and was.told it was an accident. Went tonight , after 5 wk s hol holidays , only for it to be full of kids ! When we needed a quiet meal. 3 Rd sept , and service , was OK ish for starter , onion bhajis. No taste , so said we'd take food home , lamb sang. Don't think it went down well , was asked why ? Came home with our take out , got home couldn't stop chewing the lamb , spat out and binned the lot ! Safe to say we will not be going back ever !!!

Want a very good Indian meal? Look no further..this is it

Honestly cannot rate this restaurant higher. There were 8 of us who went for my brother's 18th. And nothing was too much trouble for all staff. The food was amazing, tasty and good sized portions. It was delicious! There were lots of choices for both food and drinks. Every single staff member in this restaurant was so smiley, made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. As soon as we had finished, our plates/glasses/bottles were removed almost immediately. It was busy when we went but you wouldn't have known if you was basing it on the experience. The staff even managed to have a few jokes with us which created a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend this place if you want a great meal out with fantastic service. Thanks for making my brother's 18th meal so lovely !

We really enjoyed our experience here. The food and service was fantastic. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Couldn't fault the food at all. I would recommend booking in advance, it was very busy and I'm not sure if we would have gotten a seat if we hadn't booked. Although the restaurant was busy, it did not slow down the service and we never felt like we was waiting around. Top food, top service. Thank you.

really poor service when the waiters can’t take orders for seven customers without missing one order. 1/10 best avoided

The food here is excellent And you can clearly tell a higher quality of ingredients are used Best Indian I’ve been to and I’ve been to so many Staff are extremely efficient, friendly and well trained If your looking for exceptional food , in lovely surroundings in St Helens area look no further

Great Indian restaurant 👌 Always a super night out, with friends / family or the guys 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Absolutely lovely food. The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home. Had a good laugh with some of them. Met and chatted with 1 of the owners and he was a down to earth fella. Reasonably priced. Ill definitely be going back. Thankyou guys for making my evening a good 1.

The Ba'bursi boys strike again. Top notch meal, The best indain by a mile in the area. Friendly staff, always up for a laugh. Even promised me a free Meal if England win on Sunday. Come on England.

Had starter, main an dessert. Everything was amazing. Best Indian iv ever been.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant with fantastic staff, the food was lovely and the place was buzzing. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, give it a go, you’ll love it.

Me and my partner came tonight for food wow highly recommended food was absolutely beautiful service was fantastic couldn't of asked for better 10 out of 10

Not what it was. More like the other ones now. Flavours use to stand out.

Food very nice as always. Staff very friendly. There was 20 +of us and the service was excellent all served at same time.

Always amazing and friendly. My favourite Indian in Sthelens. Superb food 👌

Another great evening in bar bursi, there's no indian better, food and service was spot on, I went for the braised beef phall, told them extra hot and it certainly was, stunning food

17 of us went on Thursday 11th April for my husbands 70th Birthday. Nothing was to much for the staff and the service and food were all good.It really was a lovely night.Thanks to the management and staff. Sharon

Perfect food everytime whether it's eating in or taking away. Hygienic surroundings, clean kitchen, you can see the chef cooking.

First time last night, and food was excellent manager was very friendly, definitely be goin again, 👌

Great food and great service. Could do with being a little warmer inside though!

Never fails. Quietish Thursday evening visit but food delivered. Don't go anywhere else in St Helens if you want a great curry!

Excellent food served by the loveliest staff. We order to collect from here - the food is always really fresh and the team on collection are great. I've also eaten in and the restaurant has a great vibe. An outstanding and reliable restaurant that we will continue to use time and time again.

We had my 60 th birthday meal there last night food service and staff were excellent what more can I say 😊❤️

Great. Food, friendly staff Good location with easy parking nearby. Service A*

Can’t fault this place!! It was unreal from start to finish, from the food to the service and especially the atmosphere!! We ordered 2 starters and 2 mains and everything was unbelievable! All fresh food which tasted insane! We even brought some home !! Nothing was too much from the team at ba’bursi, thank you for an amazing experience and we are eagerly awaiting our next visit !! Xx

Great food and lovely staff. The owner was very friendly and even gave us a free sample dish which was delicious. Great place, highly recommend!

Brilliant service, fantastic flavoured food. Lovely environment. Highly recommended 5*****

Could not fault the meal we had here. The poppadoms were light, crispy and fresh, and the main meals were hot and delicious. Service was attentive but not not overbearing and included a hint of humour, which we appreciated. Any questions about the menu were taken seriously and reported back quickly. We travelled from Hereford to see family and the restaurant was recommended. We were very glad we asked. We can't come back often but would definitely choose here again.

Very nice place, would definitely visit again

Just had a delicious takeaway from Ba’Bursi. Visited many times and food and quality of service is always outstanding. Highly recommend

First time here tonight 24/12/23 and it was one of the best ( if not the best ) curries i have ever had. Will defo go again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food. Plenty of it Friendly staff, cold beer. Say no more

Top quality Indian restaurant food great, service friendly and attentive.

Went mid week and the place was absolutely freezing. Food was good but wet never took out coats off as the place was that cold.

Great place to eat, first time at this place, food great, service good, waiters brilliant, good portions. Would recommend.

Never felt so comfortable what a amazing place Loved the whole evening. Thanks.

Have eaten in and had a number of take outs. Not only is the food delicious and full of flavour, but the staff are wonderful. Having only moved here recently, it’s great to of found this place. Thank you again!

Called in on the off chance after shopping with the wife, didn't have to wait long for the table, food was great, service was great, staff very friendly, definitely be coming back, highly recommended.

We've eaten here many times since it opened and have never had a bad experience. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced, the food is consistently good and the staff are always friendly, helpful and attentive. It can be quite noisy when it's busy as there are inevitably large groups, but this makes for a lively atmosphere. I have no doubt that we will return again and again in the future.

Food and service is amazing here. I will not eat Indian food anywhere else!!!

This is a fantastic restaurant in stHelens.

Always a lovely meal here, staff are friendly and helpful, great atmosphere and a nice restaurant.

The best Indian food I’ve tasted for a long time. Reasonably priced. Excellent service

Absolutely gem place to visit food excellent delicious. Service brilliant cannot fault the service and hospitality. 4 adults and 2 teenagers we all enjoyed our starters and main meals . Cost very reasonable for our drinks and plenty of food I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Great food, fantastic staff lovely place

Serverd three of our party frozen samosas for starters. When we complained no offer to make things good, just replaced the frozen starters. Remainder of service so badly handled we had to leave the meal. Really poor food and service for what is an expensive place to eat! Will never return here again.

Lovely restaurant in a lovely building. Very nice food we all enjoyed it

My absolute favourite place to eat in st Helens. Gorgeous interior matched with very professional service. Food, just amazing. I've personally never had a bad meal here.

Good food and wine fantastic for family gathering

Best indian I've been to and the prices are excellent.

Eaten at Ba'bursi a few times now. We do not return,if we are not happy with the restaurant. Excellent venue.

Visited here after our wedding in Gibraltar. Amazing food and Service . The best Indian Restaurant in St Helens .

Converted I was not big Indian foodie. Staff friendly attentive but not over bearing. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Don’t change!

Love it here!! The food is fantastic, and the staff are lovely and friendly. The food is always delicious, even when catering for a large group.

Absolutely appalled by this place! We have been here multiples times and it's always been amazing, until we went in December after doing Christmas shopping. Me and my boyfriend went for date night, I ordered the butter chicken, and my boyfriend had lamb if I remember rightly. I hadn't eaten all day, so was looking forward to our meal. It came, and I tasted it, it tasted really weird. My boyfriend had a mouthful and said it tasted okay, so presumed it was me. I couldn't of been more wrong. I contracted Campylobacter. (Food poisoning) I was ill for a good few weeks. BUT.. all of this is bad in itself, but I was more horrified by the reaction from the restaurant!!! I phoned them up and explained, I hadn't eaten anywhere else and I was pretty much going down hill about 2 hours after visiting their restaurant. They asked me when I visited etc, and I was told that it couldn't possibly be the chicken, and if anything they expected people to complain about the Lamb! And as a result of me getting sick they would send me a takeaway. No, I do not want a takeaway from you, I don't want anything now you have explained that the lamb could also be giving people food poisoning. Shocked to say the least, and I can assure you I will NEVER eat here again. Which is a shame really because every other time we have been we have always highly rated it, and recommend it to others. We also have had family gatherings here.

What a lovely restaurant, The food was amazing I will visit again very soon. Special mention to Ella who is amazing and looked after us all night.

Best curry in St Helens, as always!

Has to be the best in St Helens, the food the service and the grand old building it’s situated in is just phenomenal . Highly highly recommended

Our group of mates had a fantastic evening thanks to the staff...superb food and time flew by...we will definitely be back asap ..thanks to all at this great restaurant....very impressed

Easily the best Indian in town.

We were a group of 25 seniors. Excellent food and service

Fabulous food and fabulous service in lovely surroundings. I always enjoy eating here and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s in a prime position, close to both St Helens central station and the bus station. Definitely worth a visit.

I've been for a sit down meal here twice and as I write this following a takeaway collection after a hard days work I am sat enjoying a chicken Vindaloo and re-evaluating my life (curry) choices as my face assumes the colour of a ripened beetroot and the sweat rolls down my brow. Let me tell you now though, this meal is absolutely delicious and full of flavour, it has been cooked with such care which is testament to the great chefs and front of house staff at Babursi. They never disappoint and I can't wait until this next time I go here - there truly is no restaurant and certainly no Indian takeaway in St Helens that can top this place. Maybe I should've just went for the madras. Anyway now that I have finished typing this my mouth has cooled down sufficiently it is time for round two.

First visit and will definitely be returning, have been told by quite a few how good food was, it didn't let down the food was delicious, the service excellent and was entertained mid meal by Imran, fabulous evening definitely will return.

Went here for a birthday meal. Food was lovely. Staff were nice and friendly. Will be going back again. But you need to book as it does get very busy. With some big partys.

Excellent, enjoyed our evening. May well visit again, even though we are not local.

It wasn’t me who ate there, it was my mother, on a night out with friends, order was tandoori mix, you absolute pillocks have gave her food poisoning and she’s now very very very very very very ill because of you plonkers and pillocks, I’m going to stay far away from this restaurant because your staff and air is probably poisonous too! You plonkers, pillocks and plebs

Best indian food in the north west,service is great and very entertaining,a longish wait for food because its always packed to the rafters great decor,very homely atmosphere,all in all brilliant place to eat.

At 6pm, nice and busy. We really enjoyed our food here, the owner came and delivered our food personally, which was nice. The taste was lovely. Service very friendly throughout. Great experience.

Attended with family on 17th Feb 23. Food and service excellent.

Always outstanding, professional service and excellent speciality Indian food.

Gorgeous curry house, best in St.helens by far!

Great food not too expensive, great place

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Will definitely be going back

Brilliant Indian Restaurant. Friendly staff, amazing food and all served in a warm, welcoming setting.

Cant reccomend this restaurant enough delicious food and service.

Ordered a takeaway, food was excellent, friendly staff

Food was lovely, really enjoyed all our meals. A small thing, they could have included a sauce/dip with the starters of samosa and onion bhaji which would have made it even better as I this usually comes like that in other restaurants but that is a small thing. The reason for the 4 stars is really the guy who served us. He never smiled until we left and actually cleaned the table whilst one of our party was still eating and then did it again whilst we were finishing our drinks but this time used one of the wet towels they had given us to wipe our hands. Not very hygienic and also rude. Made us feel like they wanted us out yet it wasn't late.

Always reliable standards of food and service

Nice busy place with friendly staff and great food. Didn't wait too long for food or drinks.

Nice curry, but sat in the middle of a large room on a table for 2. Nothing worse than people walking past you left and right. Place dead by 8pm and waiter started sweeping up around us!!!!

Great food but no photos as was to eager to eat it all.

Excellent food with excellent service

Great atmosphere and very enjoyable food. We would definitely go again.

Really good food can understand why it gets so busy. Will definitely come again and would recommend.

Very nice place to eat! Amazingly friendly staff, and always accommodate your needs! The best food in St Helens!

Had lovely meal with some friends. Food was excellent and reasonable

Probably the best Indian restaurant in and around St Helens in my opinion. Food always fantastic and the service faultless. I cannot recommend it enough.

Food was very delicious, however if like me u like a hot curry then tell them as I found mine a little mild, taste tho was extremely good and full of flavour. waiter was funny and very pleasant, prices were reasonable, i would absolutely go again and certainly 1 of the best indian restaurants I have tried.

Nice atmosphere friendly staff good food

Had quite probably the best Biryani ever last week. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend.

Love this place. The owner and staff are amazing nothing is to much trouble. The food is outstanding, deliciously tasty. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian food.
