Barlick Raj Balti in Pendle

Went for the all you can eat Sunday offer. Good choice of starters including poppadoms and dips. Good choice of curry. You can order a nan bread which is included. Got two meal deals. Two beers and two sambucas for just over 40quid. Winner. Loved it

We visited on ‘buffet’ night. I had high hopes as I had been promised the food was good and you were brought a selection of starters to the table then you chose a main and a side. The set up however was different. The buffet was to be set up in a side room. We ordered drinks and went in for food. The starters were out but no mains. I felt the onion bhaji was too soft, almost undercooked, maybe because they were so big. The fish was greasy but I did like the spicy chicken. On to the mains. We saw the staff take the food and place it in the serving dishes and were invited to help ourselves. There were 4 meat dishes, a veggie dish and rice. Selected a little of each and sat down. The food was barely warm. We called someone over and explained the situation. This was met with some pushback saying the food had been piping hot. They offered to cook some fresh. The second batch was just as bad. They did offer to cook some more but at that point we just wanted to leave. Very disappointed.

We booked ahead and received a warm welcome to a small but tastefully furnished and clean restaurant. One walk is covered with the pictures of happy, satisfied customers who jostle for space with the national awards this tiny restaurant has received. You can see why - service was quick (although we had chosen a quiet night). The food is outstanding in quality but not in price, freshly made with fresh ingredients. Although missing some of the traditional staples of the British Indian restaurant on the menu there is more than enough choice from the Bangladeshi themed list on offer. Great value, superb food and friendly service. Invited back to try the buffet and will definitely be back

Takeaway order. Nicest tasting Tikka masala ever.

First visit at the raj and was pleasantly surprised. We were a party of six and the food all came on time. Well presented and food was delicious. You can take your own booze, think there may be a small charge for the glass, but can't confirm. A good local restaurant that I will definitely visit again.

We spotted this restaurant earlier when we visited Barnoldswick Music and Arts Centre and decided to visit on our next trip to Barnoldswick. It didn't disappoint. A warm welcome and wonderful, tasty, freshly prepared food. Give it a try sometime 👍🏻

Very friendly restaurant, great food. Just had popadoms to start, shared rice/naan bread and main dish. Fair prices…speciality dishes £11.

Very tasty food, high quality and friendly staff. Have been a few times as a couple and with friends, who also commented food was good. We will definitely go again.

We had a takeaway from here. The food was fair and the service was good, the curry was ready when I arrived to pick it up. Certainly I try again if in the area.

Delicious food, quality service and friendly atmosphere - all very quickly (it was a quiet Thursday evening) what more can you ask for?! Decor a little outdated and could use a refurb but that didn’t impact our experience - lovely waiter and food makes up for that for me personally.

Love a curry being from Bradford originally myself and this is a personal favourite for the buffet 10/10 everytime

The buffet is such good value. The food is outstanding and H always provides a world class service. Such a great atmosphere.

Had a takeaway. Delicious. Friendly staff.

No better service and food in the world than here, staff always go above and beyond been going there over 10 years now or something

Disappointed with the service and food we received on our visit, despite the establishment being highly recommended. A friend a I arrived in Barnoldswick late on Wednesday (12th June) evening and went to this restaurant for a meal. Although we managed to get a drink on arrival we were waiting ages to be served and after prompting the waiter took our order. I ordered King Prawn Marsala with egg fried rice. When the meal arrived it consisted of a bowl of marsala sauce with five unshelled king prawns floating in it and the egg fried rice was fried rice with a boiled egg chopped up in it - not a very nice meal a all! My friend asked for Palau rice with his Chicken Jalfrezi meal and received chips instead, which the waiter subsequently changed; albeit receiving a smallish portion.

Great food and lovely staff. Very friendly atmosphere. Excellent Christmas Day Buffet.

Took my wife and 14 year old daughter for a meal here and was a little apprehensive due a recent post about hygiene but can honestly say this is one of the best Indian meals I've experienced (and we go all over the North of England visiting Indian resturants). Service was so polite and professional. Prices more than reasonable and waiter who took our order very knowledgeable about all the meals contents etc. For starters they provided an extra sauce to try, free of charge (which tasted lovely by the way!). Mains were piping hot with plates also heated to ensure food stayed hot throughout. All 3 mains were absolutely delicious and quantiy was great value for money. For the 3 of us, the bill (which included a larger wine and 2 large bottles of cobra and a fesh orange) only totalled £67, total value for money. Will definitely be coming back and referring our F&F to visit. Great overall.

Great food, impeccable service. Can’t really comment on the atmosphere as it was early on a wet Wednesday evening and I was eating alone ( working away from home). I’d recommend the Baltis and the Samosas.

Exceptional chef’s specialties for quality of food and very friendly staff, a must for all. Enjoyable evening thank you

I’m giving one star because, when it comes to hygiene rating I am ruthless. There is not any excuse for not having a 5/5 hygiene rating score. If I was a food business owner, a 4/5 score would stop me sleeping, let alone a 2/5 score: it means I’m eating food (that goes into my guts) in a restaurante that “needs improvement.” Not acceptable. I don’t play with my health. Staff was friendly, but a bit disorganised. Perhaps “too friendly.” Besides being friendly only does not make a good restaurant. Put that hygiene score right up to 5/5 and I may consider going back.

Absolutely stunning! I couldn't make a single point of fault with the place. I went with my family of 12, to celebrate my birthday, taking a mixture of children and adults. The staff were informative, friendly and attentive, without being smothering. The food, from every single dish we had, was mouth watering with comments coming around the table. The price is reasonable especially versus the quality. My family see eating out as a social event and once we had all finished our meals, we was left to finish with a chat and ask for the bill in our own time. Thank you very much!

Excellent food, well presented, some unusual but tasty chefs specials, very helpful and friendly staff. Will visit again

Excellent food, lovely owner who made us very welcome. We will return next time in Barnoldswick. The chicken tikka masala and poppadoms were delicious.

The food here is absolutely amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of spicy food, so I'm always a little apprehensive of trying out new Indian restaurants, but this place is fantastic. They have a huge selection of mild and spicy dishes, and the food I had was really creamy with lots of flavour. I often find that many restaurants have dry lamb, but Raj's lamb was so tender and moist, I will definitely be ordering it again! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the owner/manager there was also incredibly friendly (gave me a drink on the house for my birthday!). Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty, flavourful Indian!

Delicious food and friendly efficient service

Love the food Love the staff Enough said

Bland. Not much flavour, and a 2 star rating, wish I'd looked before ordering. Didn't finish my meal. Bland.

Without doubt, the best Indian food I have ever had. Totally amazing. Highly recommend.

The food was brilliant. I would definitely recommend.

As a group of 7 we had an excellent evening. The food and service were both amazing! Highly recommended 👌

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the adorable owner who couldn't have been more chatty and polite. The other staff were just as attentive and genuinely seemed interested in serving you and ensuring you had a delicious meal. The waiters had smiles on their faces that did not waver. I've never seen so many pleasant smiles and sets of teeth in one restaurant. We had a basic Korma to eat, and although the flavour didn't blow me away, I could not complain. Our starters were the best, as they arrived sizzling on a hot plate, and were very hot and tasty. Initially the restaurant was cold but it was soon warmed up when the heaters came on, so absolutely no complaints there. There are pictures hung on the wall of people who dine their regular, so you really feel like the staff take notice of the clientele and care about their experience. It was fantastic - and very reasonably priced! :)

Great utilisation of the average micro bar. Staff approach is 129%. Drinks only, but switch to the Mega stouts, one will not crave hunger. A SMOKING AREA TO DIE FORE FIred with sn open multi using Fue Cast Iron Brasier l

Fabulous, family run restaurant. The food is delicious, and the service is efficient and friendly. Absolutely love everything about The Barlick Raj. Can't wait to visit again.

The food was very delicious and the staff was very friendly. I definitely recommend this place! It is worth the detour if you are not in the area.

First visit, we found staff very pleasant and helpful. We were impressed with the recent national best curry award hanging proudly on the wall, increasing our appetite greatly ! The chicken chat and samosa starters were nice which were followed by a royale special and chicken tikka masala. The main courses were okay, not a lot of meat, but lots of sauce. Overall bit of a damp squib I'm afraid. The owner asked me to place a review and here it is.

Great little Indian restaurant - very friendly staff, quick service and fantastic food. Recommend, thank you

Food and service was brilliant 👏

Was a quiet night due too the hot temperatures, food was superb and great prices

Stunning food, brilliant service & great value! Since moving to Norfolk we have missed a good quality Indian restaurant & this place showed us what we've been missing! Next time we're back in this part of the country, this will be a must to have a first class Indian meal.

A nice welcoming atmosphere with tasty food. You can take your own booze which is a bonus. The food is tasty and reasonably priced would recommend.

A Brilliant Barnoldswick Curry 🍛 from the moment I walked in until I departed the service was exceptional, the food quality was exceptional too - sampled the buffet and what a delightful selection

Takeaway - Great food friendly staff

8 + two 11 year olds met for a meal . Very polite friendly efficient service . Food was brilliant hot and tasty . My first indian meal I will return.

Friendly staff, good food. Been a regular for a while now, love it. Freshly prepared, very well organised buffet on Wednesday and Sunday. A good choice of authentic dishes.

We visited this restaurant for my husband’s birthday and it was excellent! The staff had put some decorations up for the birthday celebration and they even brought a birthday cake out after the main meal and sung happy birthday to him which made the evening special. The main meal was really delicious and the staff very friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

What can I say? If you read any of my reviews I love food. This is seriously the best Indian restaurant I have been in. The food was amazing. If I could give a 5+ stars this would be it. We are in the area for 4 nights & I'm going back before we head home. Anyone who lives locally I am so jealous. The front of house staff are attentive without being in your face & the cost is very reasonable. As for the chef keep him 😂 Thank you so much for great food! 👍🏻

Called in by chance while on holiday in the area, lovely decor, staff were really friendly and food was amazing, best Indian I've had and so flavoursome, very reasonably priced, definitely worth a visit, gutted we don't live nearby to visit more often!

Excellent food great Indian restaurant for a small town like barnoldswick highly recommended you give it a try

Couldn't fault the food, and the staff were really attentive, and very friendly. What a lovely place. we'll be coming again when we are in the area.

Had a takeaway for five people, very poor watery food completely lacking in taste. Won’t go again. Why not just serve good quality tasty food so that people will go back again?

My wife and I had a meal here last night. It was totally delicious; one of the best vindaloos I've ever had. My wife isn't a fan of spicy food, so opted for the mushroom omelette instead. She said it was very good also. The prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is run by two of the most pleasant and helpful guys I've ever met. Barnoldswick (Barlick) is a pleasant Lancashire town with a varied sprinkling of restaurants. The Balti house is one of the best

Wonderful place, great staff and food. (My card payment didn't go through guys, neither of us noticed, I'll pop in Monday and settle up)

Visited Sat 8th on recommendation. Have to say one of the best Indian meals we've ever had. Very friendly attentive staff.

This is our second visit to the Barlick Raj Balti. We received a very pleasant welcome, the cuisine is excellent and the staff are very attentive. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

From entering the establishment you are made to feel welcome. Very attentive and friendly staff we never felt rushed it was very relaxing As for the food it was superb we started with the pickle tray and poppadoms Lesley went for a Korma and myself a Mixed special madras If you are visiting this area it is well worth a visit

Second visit to this lovely little restaurant in Barlick. The food and presentation is fabulous and the service is good to. Price wise - we had 2 drinks each, poppadums and pickle tray, 2 starters, 2 main courses, rice and chappattis - approx £45. As Del Boy would say luvverly jubbly

Absolutely fabulous meal at Barlik raj tonight .well over a year since we last went in , yet the owner remembered my name and we were treated like friends . Wonderful food and service will be back very soon . So lucky to have such a lovely Indian restaurant on our doorstep and won’t leave it so long to visit again ! Thx so much for a wonderful meal . Janet and Garry ( Hayley’s auntie )

Third time we've been here fir a take away. First two the food was superb quality. Unfortunately the last, and it will be the last time, the chicken was undercooked.

Ate here last night before going to a gig at The Arts Centre. Very friendly staff especially H who had a lovely chat with us. The food was delicious 😋 I had Chicken Thurzlar with pilau rice. The chicken was so tender and tasty. My husband had Sher-E-Bangla with pilau rice which was also delicious! We live in Sawley near Clitheroe but we will be going here for takeaway too in future it will be worth the drive 👌

Just visiting the area for a few nights and wanted somewhere to eat to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Checked out previous reviews on here and were keen to try it out. It did not disappoint x Staff were friendly and very attentive, nothing being too much trouble, we were made to feel very welcome. Food was plentiful and delicious. Excellent, tasty Naan breads. Thank you for a great meal with great service. What an experience *****

Excellent tasty and fresh food, not to mention the 5 ⭐️ excellent customer service we received. Thank you from the 7 of us, if we’re ever in the area again we will certainly return.

Excellent Sunday buffet,great choice of food,all hot and fresh. Lovely staff,very attentive. Definitely be back.

Myself and friends called in without booking yesterday . We were made very welcome and seated . The staff could not do enough for us and all the while with smiles . We had the buffet and the food was truly divine . Thankyou H and all the staff can't wait to return . Happy New year 🎉 🥰

Good food, good service, good atmosphere. Going to have to try more on the menu, but I am sure it will take it (for me) up to 5 stars

Decent Indian restaurant, with attentive service.

Excellent food! Defo be returning.

Food delivered an hour late, nothing really more to say. Restaurant totally forgot about my order, it was only when I phoned the them, that my order was sent. Edit: Ordered from here again and this time my food took 1hr 30mins.

After having a number of exellent take-aways we visited teh restuarant and were not disappointed. Friendly and efficient staff . Food was amaxing - well priced and portions are large - excellent value for money . Would definetely recommend

Lovely atmosphere, didn't get rushed like some restaurants, really good quality food, curries were excellant wine very reasonable and amazing front of house staff.

One of the best curries - very good veg Dhansak. Tasty kingfisher on tap 😀 Great service too. Well worth a visit

One of the best Indian restaurants we've ever been to. The food was authentic and expertly cooked. I had the fish balti, cauliflower bhaji and peshwari naan which were beautifully spiced and most definitely not swimming in oil like some places. The service was also...

I live near Birmingham and have spent many years frequenting arguably the best balti houses in the uk. On a walking holiday we decided to dine in Barnoldswick and came across this curry house. I don’t normally frequent small town curry houses as I’ve been very disappointed before , but on this occasion we did . No frills but my wife and I both had fantastic curries. I would highly recommend.

Friendly service and great food.

We returned to this restaurant after 4 years and found that it was just as good as last time. We arrived to an empty restaurant although it soon filled up. The service was very good and the food was excellent. We all had empty plates...

One of the best curries I’ve ever had. A great meal and pint of kingfisher after a long drive up from Bristol. Would 100% recommend!
