Gemma in Fylde

Food and service was excellent, booked for Christmas day, would highly recommend Gemma, Prices was good, will be returning before Christmas x

All dishes superb. Collection on time from very polite and friendly staff. Would recommend to all.

My wife and I had beautiful food served by attentive staff. Great service and a complimentary Baileys for Mrs and Disaronno for me. We will be back for sure!

Great service. Extra sides included and even a bottle of beer. Ace.

Takeaway order received. However pilau rice missing which as per website states is included with chicken or lamb shashlik. After phoning restaurant they explained I had misread and rice is not included! Having taken screen shot which proves my point was still told that's not correct. Approx 30 mins later restaurant phoned back offering complimentary rice as admitted they were wrong!!

Food was quite bland and arrived bit cold, expected better but will try the restaurant next time instead of delivery

First time ordering and wow,didn't disappoint,lovely curry and extras,will be back

Unfortunately, I cannot speak on the quality of the food as my order placed through Uber Eats never arrived. I waited for an hour and a half for my food and after this time I had a message come through saying it was cancelled, when i phoned the company they said that they tried to get through to me, which i have to say again is untrue, i asked if they could return with the food, and they said it was tough. I urge people to reconsider where they eat from as this place can only be known as unprofessional, unhelpful and unkind.

Absolutely superb meal at Gemma this evening. Great food, lovely atmosphere and superb service. Highly recommend Gemma, you won’t be disappointed.

The driver apologised for the late delivery explaining that they were very busy and 2 free onion bhajis were included however the food was only luke warm, spoiling any enjoyment.

GEMMA INDIAN RESTAURANT 14 St. Davids Road south, Lytham- St-Annes Blackpool FY8 1TB Date of visit 15th July 2024. Tel: 01253 782030 I must confess this was not the first choice as the intended target, The Moghul Tandoori which is no longer in business. The place is surrounded by scaffold and full of builders but fear not, curry lovers, it is planning on opening soon as a new Indian restaurant. So, on to the Gemma, Indian Restaurant. probably a better choice anyway. I know I bang on a bit about going the extra mile. Let me tell you, this one does exactly that. This neat, clean little modern, smart sixty or so seater with awards all over the place, can be found tucked away just off the beaten track. You are greeted with a friendly, smiling member of staff and shown to a table. A fairly extensive menu is on offer with a few Chefs specials with such dishes as Chicken Laxeez, and chicken Jaypuri. But the one that caught my eye was the Nawabia which you can have either Chicken or Lamb. The meat of your choice cooked with a generous helping of Keema. Any strength of spiciness and it truly is delicious. I started off with a couple of Poppadom’s with one of the most interesting pickle trays that I have had in quite a while. Five ramekins of Onion, Chilli pickle, tandoori and chilli relish, Mango chutney, a second tomato flavoured onion, a mint and coriander yoghurt relish. Perfect! I then sampled the sheek kebab. Two perfectly spiced lamb kebabs with a very fresh salad and a mint and yoghurt relish. This was up there with the best of them. Next on the order was the Nawabia, perfectly cooked strips of succulent chicken and keema in a rich spicy sauce. Garnished with a sliced boiled egg. A nice fluffy pilau rice and a chapati finished it off. They are licenced, with Cobra on tap! Parking was no trouble and FREE! And almost outside the door. So on to the extra mile, a small shot of Brandy was given to me with the bill along with a small dish of Panch Poran (a selection of aromatic and flavoursome seeds) that you chew on to clean your pallet after your meal. A nice and rare touch. And the price…. £23.20 !!! now that is very reasonable, especially after the quality of the meal. I’m going to give this one 9/10

Had the most delicious curry here. The food was so tasty. The service was excellent, with attentive, friendly staff.

Rented a holiday apartment in Lytham St Annes with my brother, for a few weeks in June and this restaurant was only a 2 minute walk away. Hadn't heard of Gemma before, but passing one night, the food aromas tempted us, so we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! I make my own curries from scratch, so I can tell when a curry has been freshly made and is not just a soup base with a few different spices added. We were pleased to find our curries were definitely freshly made. For mains, I had the chicken Tikka Biryani with a plain Madras sauce and my brother had the Tandoori chicken main with a Madras sauce. Both meals were excellent, the chicken succulent, sauces delicious and portion sizes large. The manager and servers gave us a great welcome. They were very attentive and provided us with a high level of service. Nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed our experience so much, we visited the restaurant twice during our stay in St Annes and we also ordered a takeaway on our last night. I highly recommend the Gemma Indian restaurant. Food and service was truly amazing, you won't be disappointed. Back in Bolton now, but we are booking a table here for next week and returning with family and friends.

Went for a meal with my two daughters and brother and sister in law. Incredible staff and amazing food as always. They were very attentive and offered perfect service. My brother and sister in law live in Bradford, and they said it was the best curry they have ever had!

I recently visited GEMMA Indian Restaurant in St Annes and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The menu offered a great selection of both traditional and modern Indian dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka Masala and the freshly baked naan bread. The food was flavorful, and the portions were generous. The staff especially Mamun Hussain and Ekram Hussain were attentive and provided excellent service, making sure all our needs were met. Overall, GEMMA is a wonderful spot for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine in St Annes. Highly recommended!

Excellent service and delicious food from a vast, bargain set menu

Blackpool Curry Club. A fantastic place , food was superb , the service was great. Amazing value for the money. Staff really helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Really enjoyed everything! Thankyou

Absolutely amazing food and excellent service. They have an early bird menu which is excellent, regular menu is extensive and all are amazing

Went last Sunday,ordered prawn biriani, absolutely awful, just like boiled rice, no seasoning. Couldn't eat it. Won't go again.

What a ‘wee gem’ of a restaurant. We were torn where to eat (visiting from Glasgow)…go go go if you are in St Anne’s. Team were fab - couldn’t do enough for you & the food was excellent. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

We had a takeaway a few weeks before, and it was so good we wanted to sit in. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and amazing staff. They can't do enough for you, and the service, food, and whole evening were perfect. It is very, very priced and definitely the best Indian restaurant on the Fylde coast. My wife left her handbag, and they found it and kept it safe. We collected it a few days later. We will be back!

It’s a delicious quality fresh food.

1st time here but not the last excellent food reasonably priced with great service

Great food and great service even though they were busy. Well done.

All the food arrived piping hot and was really tasty. 100% recommend.

I ordered at about 10 o’clock it said at half past it was on its way I rang the restaurant at 11.50 they said it would be a thew minutes it didn’t show I rang at 11.00 and they said a thew more minutes then it said delivered and the restaurant was closed so basically it never showed up

The food was amazing.so fresh and tasty.would definately recommend.

Consistent food quality, would recommend.

Beautiful food no matter what you order it is always top notch, I can’t usually handle spicy food but rogan Josh is blooming bang on and the cheesey nann is gorgeous 👍🏻

Great service throughout. Children well accomodated for on the menu. The quality and quantity of food was excellent and price well within average for this type of meal. Would highly recommend!

Decided to stay out for dinner and am so glad we did. Lovely place, with great service and atmosphere. And is without doubt the best Indian meal I have had in a very long time. Thank you

Good, authentic food. Very friendly service, we were asked about our preferences an then we'll led through the menu, so could take good choices.

Placoid never turned up, charged me twice, tried to call on the phone to sort it and they were really rude :(

Item missing from order. Tried to ring the restaurant and couldn't get through, so rang the delivery driver who said he was too busy to come back!

What a lovely place excellent food excellent staff we will be going again and again.

Ice cold food with no flavours, avoid at all cost. Full review video will soon be up on my tiktok channel

First time here and the reviews weren't wrong, good food, good service and nice atmosphere. Although we don't eat out a lot, my wife likes to cook, we will be back.

Very tasty, cooked to perfection. Will definitely order again. Nice little gem around the corner from my house🙂

Fantastic food always fresh, wouldn't use anywhere else.

Food was very tasy and hot when arrived. Could have done with some bigger chunks of chicken in the korma. driver very plesent and delievered on time

Was recommended so went for a take away and delivery. They don’t deliver to lytham so had to use Uber taxi Quality of food was pathetic terribly disappointed. Basic to find meat in buriyani. What meat ?? Chicken dish three pieces chicken swimming in hi coloured sauce Simply awful A total waste of money Seed chefs back to India for retraining !

Food was absolutely amazing!! Hands down best curry I've ever had. Service was as good as the food. Can't wait to come back!!!

Great Indian restaurant and good value for money.

Food was lovely and hot when delivered. Impressive considering the distance travelled. Curry was really nice taste wise just lacked a little bit of heat for my taste. Rice was nice. Starter a little bit on the greasy side but still tasty. Couple of free poppadoms and chutneys were a nice touch. Would definitely get again

Nice food good service not to expensive

Been coming here for years, excellent variety of authentic Indian dishes and great customer service, what else could you ask for. Packed out on a Saturday evening. My go to Indian restaurant.

Had my very first Indian here 11 years ago and have since been to many Indian restaurants, however none quite compare to this gem. Relaxed, traditional feel with top quality customer service. There is a very wide varied menu and I have yet to try something that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed! We eat out in lytham quite a lot and the price, quality and friendly feel here is completely different… and the icing on the cake is the complimentary drinks with the bill!

My first time though friends have recommended it for years. Enjoyed my meal though my dansak could have done with more chicken & pineapple to be filling. Loved the fact background music not blaring & you could actually hold a conversation. Nice touch from waiter of complimentary drinks at end of meal

One of the best takeaways we have tried. Also great food and service in the restaurant and reasonably priced.

Very friendly staff and good quality food at a fair price.

One of the best Indian meals I have had. Can't praise it enough.

I'm not a local but have tried this place a couple of times when I'm in the area. On my first visit the pathia I had was a little too watery for my liking. Tried the same dish again a few days ago and it was so bland, tasted of tomatoes and nothing else. When I've eaten this dish in other restaurants it's been quite spicy, couldn't feel any heat in this one. The starters were good, the staff were friendly but unfortunately I don't think I'd be back. Being an avid Indian food eater I'm not sure where the 5 star reviews are coming from.

I wish I would give no star. Our family suffered stomach upset stomach for the next two days, The worst food we ever had. Popadams are bitter in taste because they fried in over used oil. Starters(kebabs) are recooked to look fresh, very dry. The main course was not so bad. Close your restaurant if you cannot provide fresh food. In India roadside stalls serve quality food, I felt ashamed that his restaurant was named after my nation. My request to all English customers, please don't have an opinion about Indian food after trying here 🙏

Fabulous Indian restaurant, where attention to detail was exceptional and standard of food amazing 👏

Always good food and decent portions, would highly recommend

Portions sizes were ridiculously small - we barely got any chicken in either meal. Not value for money and definitely disappointed with our expectations.

Not the best food expensive for what you get, korma and madras like water, not much meat or anything in there, wouldn't order again very disappointed

Never again Quality and portion gone downhill

I am only leaving a 1 star review for food quality I ate in your restaurant many months ago and felt that the food was to a good standard. However having ordered a take away to my air B&B tonight I can honestly say it’s the worst food I have had in a very long time. I was excited it had arrived promptly yet it was cold and disgusting. The Naan breads did not taste of pashwari or cheese instead they resembled thick yorkshire puddings and the curries were luke warm and barely any chicken. The bhuna was sloppy and salty like out of a jar. There was minimum paneer in the saag paneer and it was all dripping in oil I will not be ordering or recommendi

Just got home. Fantastic food, still talking about the quality and taste. Great service. Thank you

Excellent food and service just want you need on a Saturday night xx

Had a few meals at Gemmas always enjoyed it Lovley place great food great service the staff cannot do enough for you, if you like a hot curry ask they will make it hot.

Great food and lovely staff. Well recommended.

Amazing restaurant with beautiful food at a great price and first class service .Highly recommended .

Good meal for us as a group, ordered drinks but they forgot one so had to remind them, maybe it was because they were very busy? They did do a lot of take aways there as well. Did not order poppadoms, which cost £1, then they came out with poppadoms and said they were complementary, strange!. The food was good and hot, and the service was alright. Coffees afterwards was a bit iffy as they brought out cream/ milk, which only served 2-3 people at best, and had to ask for more at least twice. They gave you hand and face wipe afterwards that were nice and warm, and then complementary shots afterwards, which was nice and unexpected (- brandy and baileys) So good place to eat, service good, very busy restuarant, prices are aright, it is not a very big restuarant so would advise booking first just to be on the safe side.

Awful, bland, tastless food that forever to come out. The main dish tasted like tinned tomatoes with a bit of sugar, despite asking for it asian style, and the wine tasted watered down. I also got a bad case of food poisoning from the mushroom starter. Awful experience, very disappointing.

Poor quality food and over priced . £19.95 for a chicken curry and 3x popadoms. What is the world coming to? Being exploited from from all angles with hard earned money. FACT.... this restaurant could charge me less and still make a larger margin than before lockdown. Lovely people though and I wish them all the best, I just feel exploited.

I guess it was my own fault for ordering at 22:00 but the meat samosas had nothing in them, it was just pastry. The chicken tikka was very dry and the keema naan had hardly any keema in it. I was unable to ring up to rectify order as it closed after it was delivered. Never mind.

Great indian..fantastic value..staff lovely and professional...iki the owner cannot do enough for you..Will be back..

All cold , never order from here again

Food is gorgeous, but the white wine is cheap and always delivered Luke warm, so I wouldn’t recommend the wine at all but food is good

Great food and great service. Went for a family birthday and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Free liquers for us too. If I could make one suggestion maybe a few more dessert options but then again who goes for an Indian meal and expects to have room for pudding

The tasteless lamb tikka rogan josh contained no lamb at all. It was beef, masquerading as lamb in the hope innocent customers do not notice. This can be common in low end Indian takeaways. Feel completely ripped off and very disappointed.

Worst Indian take away. Stay away

We had a takeaway, it was lovely. Really nice staff, very clean inside.

On holiday and first time trying Gemma. The food was excellent and more than enough for us. We also got complimentary popadums and spiced onions which was a nice touch. The staff were great, friendly and helpful and were apologetic about our wait (which wasn't long at all). We were given a nice drink while we waited and when we are back in the area we will definitely sit in next time. Thanks. 😁

Our first time in the new restaurant and still great

Very enjoyable meal - tasty and spice levels spot on. Will definitely come back!!

Great food, delivery was quicker than expected but not a problem because it was welcomed. Anthony the delivery chap was vey nice 👍 Thank you would recommend and order again 👍

Very tasty meal celebrating our sons birthday

Fantastisk mat och otroligt bra service

The food here is absolutely delicious and I will definitely order from them again

Amazing i would recommend to everyone! nicest place I've had a curry.

So disappointed with my first delivery for me and my son.2 absolutely minute dried up supposed onion bagee,2 teaplate size nan breads and the garlic chicken was unpleasant with barely any spices and was also a small portion.I gave the chicken to my patterjack dog.

Had a takeaway on Sunday 1st May and the standard of food was not what we'd experienced before. The onion bhajis were over cooked and extremely dry, the chana starter had no chickpeas in at all. The main dishes were no better with very little chicken in the medium curry or the naga. Overall a very disappointing experience and will probably not use them again.

The food was delicious and we asked for dips we got extra dips and poppadoms which was a nice surprise. The food was absolutely amazing and the delivery person was very friendly. Thank you

As always the food was spectacular - also the delivery driver was lovely

Food was really good, we’re quite picky when it comes to Indian food and have tried quite a few in the area! We’ll definitely be back to sample some more.

Food was average, certainly no better than that. Didn’t expect the Chicken Dhansak to come with a large pineapple ring (from a tin) stuck in the middle of the tray. Sauce was fairly bland. The lamb kebab starter was tasty though. All in all, I don’t think we’ll order again from Gemma.

Delicious 😊 first time ordering it was lovely thank you xx Naan bread needed reheating but that’s it x will definitely recommend to others and will order again! fast delivery and good value for money 💰 thanks again 👍

Literally the best Indian food on the Fylde coast. The staff are so friendly and attentive and cater to our every need and have become good friends. Highly recommended!!

Hidden surprise!! 😊Doesn't look very appealing from the outside but was absolutely lovely inside and food was fantastic sooo tasty!!

Second time ordering from here as the first was excellent! A couple of problems this time. I asked for lamb massalla and got chicken but it was still tasty and I think the peshwari naan was a plain one. Still smashed it all so not complaining.

I have never had a bad meal from Gemma (either in the restaurant, or as a take away).

Rip off. Pay for Cheese Naan: receive a Naan. Pay for a Curry: receive a tin of watery sauce and barely any meat.

Ordered plenty of different dishes all of them were tasty, delivery driver was very friendly

Rang restaurant three times. Was an hour later than the estimated delivery time (which was already well over am hours from ordering).

2 hours for 1 starter and 2 main courses. Very slow

I love the food from here, I have never had a bad meal & the delivery staff are so friendly
