Barton Bangla in Wyre

Try the railway curry...its 1 of the best currys around...lamb railway..have been many times the lamb railway with butter naan is superb

Lovely place, food was excellent, friendly staff, what more could you ask for 👍👍👍

We had an amazing meal here last night! First time visited here on recommendation from a family friend. We were not sure what to order so waiter brought to us the owner and chef, Ali. He was wonderful and explained the different dishes to us and recommended food based on our preferences. Ali got it spot on! The two dishes he served (and made!) were absolutely perfect! Really tasty with the right amount of spice and heat. Probably the best curry we’ve eaten! The setting is nice and comfortable and the service was excellent all round. We had a lovely night and look forward to going back soon! Thank you so much Ali and all your staff for a lovely meal and evening. 🙂

Best Curry Ever!!! Absolutely amazing!! This has to be the best curry house in the whole of the north west. 100% recommend!!!

Booked a table for 7:30 13/8/24 just the two of us. Our usual restaurant was closed so we took a chance. Ordered a starter each Papodoms and a Mixed Kebab. When we were taken to the table the Papodom was there the mixed kebab was not. I asked where my starter was, and the response was ‘Papodom'. I had to explain that was my partners starter so where was mine? By the time it arrived she had already eaten so, not off to a good start. When the starter plates were cleared my partner mentioned that her napkin was frayed, and it looked like an old rag. Server looked at it for a while before eventually bringing a fresh one. We were seated in the Conservatory and there were other groups there. As it was so quiet (so we were all put into one section) we could hear everyone’s conversations so not really accommodating for a couple looking for a quiet evening. The mains were delivered to the table. Again, mine was not out at the same time. The waiter said mine was coming but I could not tell whether that was an attempt to manage my expectations or to shut me up before I said anything. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was the former. A larger group arrived so that only added to the noise. The food was amazing. If the servers and the atmosphere were like the people who cooked the food, I would have been incredibly pleased. No one asked if the food was ok nothing else was offered just here is the food. McDonalds provide a better table service. When it came time to pay, I mentioned that I had a ‘Tastecard’ for a discount. Another disappointment as I was told that they do not accept that anymore and that they had told ‘Tastecard,’ but their details were not removed from the promotion. Did not really see how that was my problem, but I asked for them to just provide the bill regardless. When I paid, I was asked was everything ok (bit late and did they mean aside from the napkin and service, who knows) I thought about the food and said ‘Yes’ because that was amazing. No desire to complain or say anything because I only complain when I want something to improve on my return and I do not have any intention of going back. Response to Owners offer of free taster menu: I can't be bought. Your teams treatment of me cannot be forgiven. It was not a single incident or moment. One server annoyed me so much that I decided to write this review about my experience. You say, “We are not sure what happened on this occasion” Let me be clear: 1. Staff attitude 2. Atmosphere. Everyone bundled into one part of the restaurant regardless of size or group dynamic. No background music so all we could hear was everyone else talking. 3. Frayed and torn napkin on the table. 4. Food not served in a timely manner. 5. Staff who challenge when something is mentioned. The server who made me angry was verging on aggression towards me. None of these points are mistakes but deliberate actions. If you don’t know what happened, perhaps you should be more present to make sure standards are met. You offer a free taster menu to change my mind, but I didn’t have any issue with the food. It was the fundamental lack of respect and atmosphere. Your response does not have any word of apology to it. So, I don’t feel you think you have anything to apologise for. You do appear to think you can buy me off and shut me up. My principles are not for sale and my review remains an honest representation of my experience for all who choose to see. The restaurants I go back to don't have these issues and the staff are intuitive enough to resolve things at the time without challenging paying customers.

Great food , lovely people , always make you feel welcome

My choice from the menu was not available so the chef made a chicken mogli for me. It was amazing, the right amount of spice which allowed all the other flavours to be revealed. The chicken breast was huge and moist. Altogether a wonderful first experience! Will definitely go again and have the chef create something for me! Not often you get this standard of service by a chef!!! Wonderful.

Food was excellent. Staff advised which dish to choose. Great food great night. Thanks. Will definitely be back sooooooon

New to the area so we tried our nearest Curry House. It was good. Papadoms and chutneys was ok but boring. Starters were a bit better. However the curries were excellent. Good meat, good spices and great naan. Will be going back!

Great food, staff welcoming and friendly quick service, hygiene excellent and more. What more could you ask for?

Bit of a wait, but absolutely worth it… quite busy but only because of how amazing their food is! Very helpful staff added garam masala to my chips for free & made my curry of choice hotter & with my grandads curry added less onion! They really do deserve the custom. Amazing food, so fresh & favourful!

This was our second visit and the Bangla Brassiere is now becoming one of our favourite Indian restaurants. Fabulous service and food. Seated for drinks to start with in a separate area then taken to our table after a few minutes. Our food was served in an appropriate amount of time and it was excellent. Everything was cooked exactly as we like it and the chicken melted away in my mouth. The restaurant is tastefully decorated and the seats in the conservatory are perfect. As we were leaving at 7.30pm the restaurant was filling up. Recommend you book online and the restaurant confirms the booking via return email. We will definitely be back soon.

First visit last night and definitely won't be our last. I wasn't sure what to choose and I was recommended the Lamb Railway Curry. The flavours were amazing and there was so much lamb. The staff and service was fantastic.

We had a short wait in the bar had a drink while we choose are food & my curry was delicious 😋

What a curry house this is the barton bangla brasserie, that lamb railway curry is the best curry I've ever tasted unbelievable the different flavours our out of this world

Been a few times now the food the service was excellent you can't 👌 fault this restaurant

I have been an (occasional) regular here for many years and it never disappoints. Went last night to eat in - for a quick simple meal for two (Chicken Tikka Masala and a Chicken Balti Fiaza) with the usual accompaniments of poppudums, chutneys, pilau rice, onion bhajis, nan and chapatis. Add the obligatory Cobra lager - and yet again it was a TRULY EXCELLENT MEAL. Everything we had from the poppudums to the peshwari naan was superb, and the amount of really good quality chicken pieces as well as the fabulous taste of the curries just reinforced how lucky we are to have this place just a few miles from home. I am a real fan of Balti, and I reckon these guys are up there with the best I have ever tasted (including Shimla Pinks in Brum). I must be getting older because despite a good appetite and being hungry on arrival, I couldn’t manage it all. The staff are courteous, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble - including bagging up our leftovers which we reheated this evening for a decent attempt at a re-run of last night. It obviously wasn’t as good as the first go round - but gave us a good second meal that far bettered any shop bought curry that you might grab for a quick midweek dinner. It seems yet again that Barton Bangla Brasserie has excelled - and it certainly deserves its top class reputation. Well done again guys.

Never fails to deliver, fantastic food, fantastic service, never a 2nd thought about dining here.

Booked table for 5:30, only got shown to it at 6:30. Had to wait in a bar area (why) with hungry kids, restaurant very quiet. Service painfully slow and staff looked clueless, had to remind them about drinks etc constantly. Food arrived and it was average at best. Perhaps it was a bad night.spent nearly 3.5 hours there which is not what we had in mind for the evening.

Hi this place is fantastic great food and service we will be calling again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely staff warm and welcoming - service was great and food was excellent. Definitely looking forward to going back!

Absolutely appalling customer service. They spoke to me in an incredibly patronising way and also got the order completely wrong. I would avoid this restaurant at all costs. So many better Indian restaurants in the local area.

Warm welcome. Friendly staff and delicious food 😋 😍

Updated review January 2022. Absolutely superb meal as usual 👌 I can not emphasize how good the food is here 🙂 Another excellent meal, in fact, so good that I have updated my review 👍

Food is always fab, hospitality lovely. I forgot to add a naan to my order, and popped back to order one. No dramas guys sorted immediately. Favourite takeaway by a mile.

New to the area. Looking for a decent Indian restaurant. We were not disappointed. Fantastic food. Very attentive staff. Very friendly. Loved it.

Just moved to the area and we decided to try our local option for takeaway and it was incredibly good. Both curries were fantastic and so were the nans and all the extras we got. Think this will be our new regular takeaway.

Nice place and seemed popular, but not too busy inside - a lot of business seemed to be takeaway. The food was really good, but the service was very slow. We got there early as had somewhere else to be later but we were late.

Soggy poppadoms but the rest was good went midweek only us in so poor atmosphere

Booked a table for 7pm stood waiting for some acknowledgement from staff for about 10mins before being shown to the waiting area, eventually drinks order taken then another long wait for the drinks. Shown to a table in the furthest corner and starters arrived 8.30pm mine a miniscule undercooked translucent Tandoori Fish topped with burnt spices . My friends Fish main course supposedly Cod was undercooked and had to be replaced with an alternative when the member of staff agreed it to be undercooked . When paying we explained our dissatisfaction with the food and the standard of service and some items where taken off the bill plus a discount but with only a defensive response. From the moment we arrived the atmosphere was stressful and we felt like an inderence for booking at a busy time, looking at historic reviews this level of service has been going on for a long time without change.

A group of 12 of us came here last night, I found the service poor, everything was so slow waiting for drinks, menus, etc constantly asking and reminding them. but I have to say the food was really good, there was one waiter which while serving thought it was acceptable to dip his thumb into the odd dish but apart from that I really enjoyed the food. If they got some extra staff with some initiative that actually wanted to be there it would be a massive improvement.

Been coming here for years with family and always absolutely amazing. Whether an eat in meal or takeaway, we can always expect great quality food. Could not recommend more!

Food is excellent and staff are amazing with their service and timing. Only thing that Barton Bangla Brasserie could do to improve the experience is improve/update the interior.

Would go there again. Would go back again food excellent, Staff could not do enough for you.

Chicken jopla, pilay rice, nice tender chicken, ordered an onion baji and recieved 4 small ones very tasty, popadoms and chutney, all fresh and tasty. Definately recommend

Took ages to get food and the curry was bland. The sause was full of onions and half a potato. What's that all about ???

Used to be great but had a a poor experience, gone very downhill. Sat at a table with dirty tablecloths, the paint on the wall had food and grease marks and it just made the place feel unclean. The wrong drinks were served, waited an age for food to arrive, ordered more drinks which never came at all... The food was good but one of us became unwell afterwards but unsure if the food was the cause. We did try to highlight we weren't impressed but the service was too busy to be interested despite there not being that many people there! Sadly won't be making the trip back.

While on my travels I came across this place. What I had I thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely eat from here next time I’m this way! One happy trucker!

This was our first visit to the Barton Bangla and it won't be our last. The staff are fantastic and very friendly. The restaurant is great, we were in the conservatory at the front which is very light and warm. The food was amazing well presented and very tasty. I can highly recommend the Barton Bangla.

Lovely food pleasant staff Thanks from GMP Cars Alston Longridge Preston We keep trying the local places for food

We were first sat out in the conservatory but then asked to move because it was very warm in there and quiet. We moved inside the restaurant and it was nicely decorated with music playing. We we came on a Saturday evening so it was busy from the get go. Although we were the first ones in the restaurant, we waited an hour for our food. The food was really tasty - one of the nicest Karahi's I've had. The service was quite slow and after our meals we asked for the bill, we waited 20 minutes but no one came over - so we had to walk to the front bar to ask to pay. We came in at 5pm and left at 7:30pm and we only had main courses, no starters or desserts. I think I would have given 5 stars if the service was at a higher standard and if we were acknowledged a bit more. This is something that can be worked on. Me and my partner always look for high-quality service when we come out to restaurants.

Don't hesitate, just go. It's is by far the best around by a mile, my wife and I drive 45 mins each way to come here, we won't go anywhere else

lovely food great service love this place

Good food and very reasonable prices. Good staff. Recommended.

The team at Barton Bangla Brasserie are fantastic. So welcoming every time and food is superb.

Excellent food and service. Main dining rooms not your traditional curry house decor, but that is no bad thing.

Nice food and good service, really enjoyed our meal tonight

Outstanding stunning meal. Excellent will visit again

The food was delicious 😋 😍 The staff were great, I'll be going there again.

One of the best curry houses I've been to. The food was fantastic and the service very quick and friendly.

Overall we had a great meal here. The time between starter and main was long and almost spoilt the meal. However, it was well worth the wait. The food was fantastic. We were questioning the service amongst ourselves when a senior waiter came and apologised for the delay as they were so busy, and at the end one of the bosses came and gave us a coffee on the house, to be fair this acknowledgement salvaged our experience. The food was the best we have had for a long time. 👌 PS the recommended Roti vs the chapati/nan bread we were due to order was good too 🙂

Booked and Visited on a Saturday night in a party of 6, What a shambles! Booking at 6.30 and asked to wait in the bar area although only enough seating for 2, did not get offered drinks until 6.50. At 7.50 they came to take our order, when we asked how long the service would be as our pregnant daughter was tired and needed to eat! Not long was the response. At 8.10 we were shown to a table and they brought our poppadoms but failed to notice that the table they showed us to, only had 4 place settings including chairs as 2 of our party were still standing. My partner went to ask how long the food would be at the bar as we had been there 2 hours and only had poppadoms! The manager apologised and just said they were busy! We got our starters at 8.30 which were tasty. At 8.50 our main courses arrived, 3/6 of the party enjoyed them but the other 3 were lacking in taste and substance. We finished our food and paid and left We will not return as although they may have been understaffed and busy unless we complained we would not have received an explanation or apology for our wait!

Absolutely Amazing, food is so different and so delicious, been here many times and the service is great staff are really friendly and welcoming, but the food is out of this world would recommend always

Booked a table 5 days before. And told them 2 adults and a high chair on new years eve, got to the restaurant and informed on arrivel we dont have a highchair, we have a 1 year old. That isnt going to sit and eat in a normal chair. So we was left at 7pm on new years eve to find a restaurant, we found nowhere. We then rang up to talk to the manager, was informed by the bloke on the phone who took my number and told we will get back to you the day after, 6 days later still no call. Cant comment on the food as im sure its good but the organisation isn't great.

Went for Christmas Day lunch with 4 family members. On arrival our pre booking order had been lost. As a result our food was served later than expected. In total the meal was for 5 courses, champagne sorbet, starter, main, dessert and coffee. All were very good. Food especially was to a very good standard. Table settings were every 2 hours. This ran over due to the number of tables booked on the day and the number of people being catered for. Some of the staff had been drafted in for the day from elsewhere. Bar staff in particular weren't experienced but did try their best. The atmosphere felt somewhat tense due to the level of chaos, although the head waiter did work hard to keep order and was very friendly. We had to request our dessert and coffee, which was not served and had gone unnoticed. Would have been nice for Christmas music in the background as it lacked festive atmosphere. That said, we will be booking for next year as the food was so impressive and the main reason for going to this restaurant! ...and for the price (£28.95) it was very reasonable.

Wheelchair accessible. Complete chaos but very friendly staff & the delicious food was hot. We look forward to returning.

What can I say simply the best anywhere in England

Still our favourite Indian restaurant

I emailed restaurant privately and got no response, prompting me to leave a review publicly. Extremely watery Biryani, one very large potato found in the sauce and no egg. Unusual bread with bits falling from it.

Brilliant everything and certainly going again 👌

First visit tonight 8th November. Absolutely delicious. Number 3 starter + chutney / dips. Garlic Nan. 2x Poppadoms. 1x Special Rice. 1x Garlic Rice. 1x Special Jafrezzi. 1x Chicken Tikka Mosala. I'm still eating and typing as Google was prompting me for a review. Food is fresh and delicious. Staff very friendly. Go on give this establishment a try. You won't be disappointed.

Really friendly staff. Food was fantastic. Will definitely go again.

Come here regularly the food and service is always fantastic, special dishes are amazing high recommend a visit

Ordered a takeaway meal for two on the website and got a waiting time of 45 mins which was fine for a Saturday evening. I arrived after 45 minutes only to be kept waiting a further 45 minutes for my order. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I got home, I discovered that my rice was missing from the order. Altogether a bad experience which is such a shame, as the food eventually supplied was very good.

Far too much food colouring 3 curries bright red .

All time favourite Indian restaurant! I’ve been coming here for years, sat in on many occasions and always order takeaways. The service every single time is excellent and the food is insanely good! Always a 10/10 experience. I’ve visited with friends and family and everyone has always agreed that it’s the best curry around. I would recommend everyone to come here!

Absolutely the best food I have ever eaten over staff very reasonable price

Evening meal was outstanding, have travelled allot, and having this restaurant on our doorstep is amazing. To order a meal asking for Prawns, med hot the chef was outstanding and brought me the best Indian dish I have ever tasted. My husband always has a signature dish and is never disappointed. Staff are very friendly and knowledgable. I can see why this restaurant has won several awards. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

My son recommended this restaurant and am so glad I took his advice it really is one of the best I have visited the food was amazing and the staff so very friendly it's not just an Indian restaurant it's the best I have ever been to it wasn't to busy but it was a mid week night we asked if we needed to book at weekends and the manager said it was a must so that goes to show how great this place is ... Please visit you won't be disappointed.

Excellent all round. Lovely meal. Great service.

A MUST VISIT! I’ve never been to a place like this before where the Manager takes such care to not only introduce himself & tell you about the menu, but also teach you about his culture AND even personalise the dishes to suit each person’s taste if they’re not sure or fancy an exciting surprise! Each of us were made to feel special & important, thoroughly enjoyed it & will return. Inexpensive, All staff were smart, efficient, friendly & knowledgeable, best fish curry I’ve ever had. No wonder they won an award.

First time here and it won’t be my last! Amazing food. I ordered a Lamb Madras and my partner a Lamb Dansak. It melted in your mouth honestly I’ve not had a curry as good as that in a very very long time!

Top notch food and service. The chef created a dish suited to our specific palates. So delicious!

Excellent food probably the best around. Really good onion bargees outstanding curry.

Nice food & friendly staff. Very reasonable prices too. I'll definitely return

In one word.. Phenomenal! What an amazing experience. From entering to a lovely decor and ambience, to the food which was unique and mind blowing with every mouthful! I will be back as soon as possible and everyone should experience this place!!

Amazing food, this is by far the best curry house I've ever been to! First time I've been but I'll definitely be returning many times!

Went Friday tea time beautiful food compliments to the chef and really friendly staff will defo go back thank you

Food was ok (ish) nothing special, service poor, I don’t understand being plonked in the take away waiting area even though I was the first through the door tonight, probably wouldn’t use again

Amazing food ! Would recommend coming here

Ordered for collection & the food was excellent! -Garlic Tandoori King prawns 7/10 would have liked 1 or 2 more a little chewy but flavour perfect -Meat samosas 7/10 not much wrong with them just feel there are a lot of outstanding samosas available in the food world that trump these -Lamb tikka karahi 9/10 extra oniony, perfect flavour, perfect with chips & pilau rice together…melt in your mouth business! -Garlic naan 10/10 what more could you want from a naan seriously -Onion bhajis 10/10 perfect crisp with a lovely bite & size to them, sinks your teeth into just the right amount of moisture & softness even my daughter was impressed (she’s 7 and hates onions) Overall it was bangin & I’m here to rate the food not the service. When I say ‘service’ the people where really nice and polite the only issue was the wait. Ordered on Foodhub at 7:03 and it told me 46mins I arrived on time to collect my order, I can’t shake the feeling I was forgotten about and they only started cooking it 10-15 min after my arrival. Not much interaction to let me know what was going on as I sat reading the curry times magazine x 4. Eventually was offered a free drink and an apology. 87 mins after ordering my food came and my hanger melted away like candy floss. Took it home and was delighted. The food was inhaled and nicely washed down with the free beer Nobody wants to feel forgotten about, but it is what it is, we’re human & these things happen..the food certainly made up for it & I would definitely & probably will return soon. If your a foodie I recommend you visit too Thanks BBB!

Will not be eating here again. Terrible service: staff had a bad attitude and service was very slow.

This evening was the first and last time I will visit Barton Bangla Brasserie. The service was terrible and the wait staff were inattentive. Our table was booked for 7pm and we received our main course at 8:30pm. Unfortunately, not one of the 4 at our table finished their main course. After voicing our concerns about the poor service we were not even offered an apology or money off our bill. Eating out should be an enjoyable and pleasurable experience and it was none of those things at Barton Bangla Brasserie.

They’re known for unhygienic practices, it’s sad that’s the fact of the matter

Was really looking forward to trying out this place after hearing all the hype and their award. We booked a table for 6pm and got put into the takeaway room to wait to be seated despite it being really quiet. Sat for 25 minutes then a table of 10 with no booking walked in and got seated straight away. Gave up waiting at the 35 minute mark as we were starving so went elsewhere, probably won't bother trying again. The reason people book tables is to sit and eat at that time, not wait for a table to be ready otherwise what's the point in taking bookings.

Cannot fault this place, people or service. Food delicious. Thank you Ali for my meal. So deserving of their award.

Y first experience with Indian food. Absolutely delicious. This restaurant is fairly delux with beautiful decor. I really enjoyed everything.

Always 5 stars. I can't understand why anyone would leave them less. These guys work extremely hard to give you the best food and service after surviving two terrible years of Covid. Just had another fantastic curry. We come from Garstang, passing other restaurants, for this because it's that good 👍

Spot on Great Staff, Great Service, Great Food.

First visit yesterday, (24 feb), after a friend recommended it. He was right. It was excellent. The food was superb, the service was very efficient, friendly and helpfull, and the place was spotlessly clean. I had a starter of Onion bahjis ( 4 bahjis), which were light, and very tasty, and a main of Chicken Madras with boiled rice. Big tasty chunks of Chicken cooked to perfection. My mate had Poppadoms and chutney to start and Chicken Dopiaza for his main course. He really enjoyed it all. The portions were very generous, and there was food left over. The Staff were only too happy to give us doggy bags to take home the remaining food. I will definately visit again. If you like Indian food, you cannot beat the Barton Bangla for quality.

1st time we've been and it was excellent. The food was lovely and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be going again.

Great takeaway food hot, tasty and not too greasy. Had a refurb recently so will be back for a sit in meal soon.

Food was absolutely delicious. Service did leave some to be desired but overall it was very nice. Would go again.

I have no idea how this place won the award, as it’s just your usual run of the mill type curry house. Service wasn’t too bad. Rice was standard. Lamb chops were bright red but tasted okay, nowt special. Chutney tray with the poppadoms was very good. Spicy lamb with mint starter had no spice but tasted good. Lamb with naga chilli was bog standard slop. Lamb chilli mossala was bright red and full of chilli powder which kills all flavour and leaves a lingering burn, as opposed to fresh chillies. South Indian lamb curry was again bright red slop, very little flavour but edible. Naan breads soggy, yet burnt underneath. Keema naan had what tasted like doner kebab meat inside. Not nice at all. Overall it was like just any bog standard takeaway slop. The only really good thing about the place was the lamb, which was very fresh and tender. Unfortunately it will be the first and last time eating there. They need to ease off with the red colouring and use proper spices instead.

Absolutely brilliant service and food. Staff were on point at all times. Couldn't fault anything. Made food to order for children who are fussy eaters too . Will definitely be returning.

Best Indian restaurant in Preston!

Service, presentation and to top it food was lovely. Understand why they have tge top award for 2021 🏆

I came as a treat for my husbands 50th. I booked a table of 2 for 6pm took an hour & half to be seated which I was gutted about. I can't fault the food it was delicious I luckily didn't have to wait too long for that.

We tried this for the first time the other week and were very impressed. The service was excellent and the staff were so friendly and well informed. The menu was varied and well priced. I can recommend the chicken rajput. The tarka dahl and breads were delicious. We ate too much and left very little!

Had one of the single best Curries I have ever had.
