Imli in Fylde

Sensational food, value for money, say no more, my new go to, highly recommended.

Wow what a night,,,great service from beginning to end,,,food superb,,,service superb,,,nice to meet people from my home town doing well,,,deffo be back,,,10 out of 10

Absolutely fantastic food, good value for money and friendly atmosphere! So pleased we chose this restaurant for our one night get away.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience dining at Imli. The staff were outstanding and clearly take great pride in the restaurant, which shines through in everything they do. To start with, the selection of sauces that came out with the papadums were delicious and varied. I then had the Onion Bhaji, which were crispy and light (often Bhaji can be very heavy and overly battered, but these were just right) my wife had the veggie samosas, which were also delightful. For mains I had the Lamb Madras, which was delicious and just the right level of spicy (for a white guy, haha). Overall, an amazing experience at an establishment that is clearly run with care, love and attention to detail. If I weren’t on holiday I would make this my go-to Indian restaurant in a heartbeat and will be returning next time we visit.

Unfortunately I hadn’t booked, which I hadn’t realised was crucial! So no table was available, I found the man extremely rude and a “sorry we have no table” would have been ok, but he practically laughed in my face!! Very rude!

Absolutely amazing food hot fresh quick and friendly staff reasonably priced owner very good chef perfect every time wouldnt go anywhere else hence weekly visit see you next week 👍

We had a excellent meal today at Imli ,the food was first class the staff couldn't do enough for you .We have booked to go back again in September, Fantastic Indian restaurant, the atmosphere is very relaxing and spotless .Looking forward to our next visit .

Lovely staff. Tasty food. Great atmosphere Would recommend

The best curry nite I’ve had in a lot time fantastic food and drink at a reasonable price thanks to all the staff I will definitely visit this establishment again the whole service was the best and well worth the visit

Went to this restaurant on Friday evening, excellent welcome and prompt attentive service. We had mixed starters and several mains, all freshly cooked and piping hot. Wine was reasonably priced. All in all a wonderful experience, wil return soon.

Had four takeaways from this restaurant. Three of them were vegetable biryani. First one was very disappointing, no flavour at all and not as described on their menu. Supposed to contain sultanas and cashews but it didn’t, very little in it at all, it was more like a rice side dish than a main course. On third and fourth visits I tried a biryani again requesting that they “spice it up a bit”. They did so, and it was much better and more like a main meal, but each meal is totally different, no consistency at all, never know what to expect; and still no sultanas or cashew nuts. Also can’t work out their pricing, every time that is different too. Shame as the portion size is good. Will see if I can find better elsewhere.

We enjoyed it so much we managed to book again for the next night. Beautiful foods and a good atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for more meals in the future.

Imli is my go- to for a take away every time I'm in St Annes. Staff are welcoming and hospitable and the food is delicious and authentic. Portions are generous and it's also good value.

Lovely food, good customer service and great value for money overall a hidden Gem in St Anne’s

Didn't book found a table for us the meal was best we've had Called at imli again lamb handi to die for

Visit was influenced by your reviews and everything was confirmed on the night. Service and food absolutely fabulous ! Thank you for all you did and because assured a return visit will occur. Probably the best Indian restaurant I have been to in my life. Very well done and thank you.

Fantastic 10 out of 10 could not fault anything

We had a king prawn balti was quite cold, and hardly any prawns,the naan bread was not warm or very garlicky was disappointed as some of the reviews are good

Excellent customer service, good one to one banter.

Great service staff friendly..good offers on the menu..food just enough not over full..good night with friends and family..will be back👍🙂19.06.24. Still good food and helpful staff.. a nice place to meet and talk..👍😀

The best best best place. Food is very reasonable we had plenty of food and drinks had the best time. Prawns and lamb chops were highlights. I'm definitely visiting this place again. Just opposite travelodge and near the beach.

Amazing food 👌👌 great staff they always prepare the best dishes & cook everything to perfection my go to restaurant & takeaway in st Anne’s x

Great food and even better service. So friendly. Will be coming here again.

As Alway's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ! Fantastic Meal From Start To Finish See You All Soon 😃

Good food and service at a reasonable price.👍😁🦆🍷

Absolutely fantastic place. First time I've been. 15 person group booking and they couldn't have been better :) Great food, fabulous service. Lovely staff. Priced well. Highly recommended and I will certainly be going back.

Always eat here when working in the area. Friendly staff, food is always great and very reasonably priced.

Food out of this world,it was fantastic, great atmosphere, staff mostly great just 1 who pushed and pushed for food order panicking due to a large reservation due in but all in all very good.

Still the best pathia I've ever tasted.

Lovely Restaurant. Good Food. Very generous portion. Friendly Staff.

Excellent authentic high quality dining and superb friendly service , thanks to Paige , Ripon & Joel , really special thanks to top chef Mr Ali for his wonderful dishes really top notch , special appreciation to owner Shaj for a lovely evening , highly recommended .

Chose here to eat after a night out due to the website saying they open until 11pm. Unfortunately when we arrived at 10:30pm we were told the last orders for the restaurant is 10:30 pm. The gentleman on reception was friendly and did check if the kitchen would serve us but he was told no. I'm sure the restaurant and locals probably think this review is unfair but they really need to differentiate their takeaway and restaurant opening hours, especially as I don't know another Indian restaurant that shuts at 10:30pm.

First time we been on a Sunday and it was Easter Sunday so we decided to give cooking a miss. As we had never been on Sunday, we didn't realise there is a special menu which was extremely good value with no compromise on portion size. Owner is always super friendly and made us so welcome with our grandson who enjoyed his first curry experience. Great food Great atmosphere Great prices We have already booked to go back

Just really enjoyed our dinner at Imli on a very busy Wednesday evening so booking recommended , chicken dhansak was lovely as was the vegitable sides of cauliflour bhaji & tarka dhal , excellent table service from Ripon & paige and special thanks to Shaz for a lovely evening , highly recommended .

Very good Indian restaurant lovely food Good service

We visited last night 3/4/24 , we was one of the last family’s in the restaurant as they got us a last minute booking. The staff are absolutely great, very attentive. The food was absolutely 10/10 . Delicious and perfect. Possibly the nicest Indian cuisine I’ve had. Would 100% recommend and will visit again when in lytham st Anne’s.

Had two wonderful meals I requested something not on the menu and was obliged graciously at a very reasonable price. We are returning on the 15/04/24 I would highly recommend

We are staying at the local travel lodge and really wanted some Indian cuisine. We ordered take out service and because we had a menu we received 20% off our order. The food was absolutely spot on, we would highly recommend. They even gave us a pickle tray, plates and cutlery as they knew we didnt have any. Thankyou 😊

Busy curry house, excellent food, good service - impressed and I'm very choosy about my curry.

Great food, friendly staff, good price. Whats not to like 👍

Really enjoyed our visit. Deli food and courteous polite service at a very good price. Look forward to visiting again soon

Had a meal last night, table of 5. All chose different meals. The popadum and chutney tray was an indication of what was to come. The popdums fresh and a great selection of chutneys. We then had samosas, pakora and massive onion bhajis, all very fresh and delicious. Five different main courses , clean plates and one doggie bag, wasn’t leaving anything, rice and Nan bread. All commenting on the flavours and the freshness of it all. Drinks very reasonable, to the point when I came home I phoned to check they had been charged . Manager very attentive checking everything was ok. All in all a lovely night with great food and relaxing atmosphere.

Was there fir a birthday meal last night what a amazing place food best in st annes the staff are amazing and so helpful with advice on different dishes thanks James

We went to Imli last night for a friend’s birthday and the staff absolutely made our night! Everyone really enjoyed their curries, just the right portions and flavours. I made, what I now realise, being sober, was quite an odd request. I really wanted a vindaloo that wasn’t too spicy. The head chef rose to the challenge and even knocked me up a sample sauce to make sure it was to my taste and it was exactly what I had hoped for (I actually think they should consider putting it on the menu 😂). The waiter showed me a video of the chef doing a little victory dance in the kitchen, which had us in hysterics. Before we left they even brought the birthday boy some cake and sang happy birthday. Such a huge thank you to them all, they are superstars. I’ll look forward to seeing the medium-hot vindaloo on the menu in the future.

This has got to be a jewel in St Annes. The food, service, and ambience are first rate....We booked in the day before, and although busy around the 6.00 pm time, we got in......What a place, first class...

Another excellent visit for dinner at Imli. We enjoyed it so much a few weeks ago, we wanted to come back with my husband to show him how good the food is. It did not disappoint. Once again wonderful efficient and professional service and just really delicious food.... we all left very full and happy. We enjoyed a king prawn shashlik and land dansak mains with rice and the most delicious peshwari naan bread.... the rose wine is really good too... Thank you and see you all again soon.

If you like Indian food, this is the one to visit. You will not be disappointed! Recommend you book beforehand. Food and service first class. They do an Early Bird menu Monday-Thursday with an excellent menu choice. Portions are big and very tasty. Only wish we lived nearer and could visit more often.

Had poppadoms & pickles to start, chicken handi/ chicken dupiaza with veg pilau and garlic and coriander naan. Food was excellent, all fresh. Good sized portions and very reasonable. We missed their early bird offer, however including drinks it was less than £20 each. Highly recommended, nice atmosphere, great staff

Amazing food and service. Garlic and coriander naan, chicken handi, chicken dupiaza and pappadums and pickles were outstanding. Highly recommended

We visited last night as a couple. We haven’t been here for a while so thought we’d give a whirl again. It was always our favourite Indian but my word, it’s just got BETTER! I asked the lovely owner to recommend a chicken curry dish for me and he suggested Shatkora (asking me first if I liked a tangy flavour). I asked for it to be made a little more spicy and it was absolutely perfect. My partner had the Methi (lamb) and that was gorgeous also. I normally hate lamb in curry as I’ve always found it tough and mutton like but not the lamb here…it was tender and juicy and accompanied the dish perfectly. We also had the popadom tray, some onion bhaji and a mushroom bhaji side dish plus a garlic rice. All were amazing. Great portion sizes (we had enough to take home which they were happy to box up for us). All the staff were polite, friendly and efficient. All in all this was an excellent meal and a lovely buzzing atmosphere in the restaurant also. So happy this family restaurant is doing so well. We won’t leave it so long next time!

Me and my friend went for a meal and the service couldn't of been better. They were friendly and polite and the food was amazing

Visited on a Sunday, and opted for the Sunday special menu. Poppadoms arrived promptly with the chutney tray, and were lovely. Starters of mixed kebab and shahi Tokra chicken followed, and both were great portions, and absolutely delicious. We both had chicken bhuna, madras hot for main, accompanied by mushroom rice and a naan, and both meals were fantastic. The service was friendly and efficient, the staff are a credit to the restaurant. This restaurant has always been our go to for an Indian meal, and never disappoints. Highly recommend a visit when in the area

Went for my daughter's birthday had the early bird the food was wonderful and the staff super friendly and helpful and the owner couldn't do enough will be going back wonderful place

Recomend....good menu with good offers...staff friendly and service very good..food great just enough not over full.. good value for money.. nice night with family or friends..It was a good night for us will be back.👍🙂

First time trying, Amazing food! Excellent service. . Would definitely recommend

Outstanding meal on Wednesday , very busy as always theses days recommend booking ,chicken dhansak, sag paneer,cauliflower bhaji,tarka dhal etc . Excellent chefs producing high quality authentic flavored and spiced dishes . Brilliant table service quick and friendly thanks to Ripon , Paige . Superb evening at Imli which is highly recommended , and a special thanks to Shaj .

This restaurant was recommended to us and we visited for the 1st time this evening. We were not dissapointed! From the initial welcome to leaving the friendliness of the team & service was exceptional. The food was superb, really well presented & just how I like it. So looking forward to the next time we visit.

Food was excellent, manager & staff very friendly and great value for money for the Sunday deal menu. Would recommend booking table as very busy.

Hats off to saj and the team once again we try come every other month but obviously we came for valentines day because I wanted somewhere special to purpose to my fiance amd wow they did an amazing job! The service the food was second...

This was my first time at this restaurant and I was really impressed. The food was really nice. I will definitely be going again

Lovely quality meat especially the lamb. Really tasty curries like they used to be. Would recommend to anyone we really enjoyed everything.

First class... Food great and really good value.. recommend the garlic naan... And it was the staff that made our visit even better.

The garlic chilli chicken was 10*10* naan bread was cooked to perfection and not katcha ;) went down a treat mate. Proper appna style. Plenty of masala, great portions and fairly priced, that's exactly how I like my curry and you guys made it without me asking. Goes to show use are perfectionist. You should open a branch down here in longsight. Next time I go Blackpool I will be diverting over to your place again without doubt. Oh yh an thanks for the cuterlery and plates. without that we would of made a right mess in the hotel and probably got charged extra. Nice 1 mate. Remember my face I WILL be back

Always a pleasure every week at Imli Indian Restaurant. We love the food and service thank you Sarj & team 👍🏻……………………………….

Fantastic place to dine , love it here

We visited Imli on a cold wet Sunday not sure what to expect as we were visitors to the area. There were more people in than we expected as it was 8pm ish and there was a nice buzz about the place. We chose off...

We visited Thursday evening and had the early bird offer. Very friendly service, fantastic food well presented and no wait. Would recommend pre booking as extremely popular, and verybusy when we left.

Truly fantastic food, very fresh and cooked to order, so we could vary the 'heat' of our choices. Staff very attentive and made great suggestions for our choices, making it a great meal out, so thank you!

Excellent meal on a cold mid week evening with my son. Great value quality food - we didn’t know there was an early bird deal and what I did like was the fact that the menu for this was on the table- often when there’s...

Imli is an excellent Indian restaurant in stannes. There is a superb menu, with excellent range of starters, and the tandoori chef produces great chicken, ticka, and lamb chops. The naan, paratha, and vegetable dishes are superb. Beers and wines are good Imli is great...

This is the second time we have been to Imli’s… fantastic service and food. We would highly recommend!

Even though I live locally , my first visit here. Fabulous evening, great atmosphere, lovely staff, and the food was freshly cooked! Will certainly be coming back. They made my birthday a special night, thank you.

Went for a family meal last night. Staff accommodating and very attentive. Food was awesome ( best I’ve had in a long time ). The price of the food and drink is very reasonable for the quality of dishes they serve. Everyone one of us said we will be returning soon.. If your in the area, looking for a tasty Indian meal that doesn’t break the bank, rest assured, this is the place to go 😜 Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👍

We went tonight, first time for us, sat in the window and had the most amazing garlic Marsala, we will be back for sure, A***

We had a lovely meal and will certainly be back 😋

Really enjoyed our Xmas & New Year dining at Imli very busy and very organised . The team of chefs produce excellent authentic meals of high quality and good portion size . You really can't go wrong ordering anything and they also are happy to...

The food and service were exceptional, as they had been on our previous visits. My partner was most impressed that they rememebered it was his birthday, as he was presented with a huge slice of cake, with a candle.

Excellent food & a very warm welcome received. Our party of 4 enjoyed every mouthful of their meal - it was superb 👌 & we’ll definitely be booking again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Visited while staying in Lytham St Anne's, food was excellent as was service, if your in the area and you fancy a great Indian meal, definitely give this place a try

This is our regular go to when in St Annes.If you want a fantastic meal with great service this is the place.4 adults poppadoms to start mixed grill biryani lamb tikka Patia bombay potatoes and naan and chapati and vegetable curry .All excellent. Plus 6...

Ordered once again while on a visit from Manchester. We ordered the special mixed biryani with a madras sauce and saag sauce and it was absolutely divine. Lamb literally melted in your mouth and the pieces of meat were huge. Another reason this is our favourite restaurant.

What a stunning venue! Absolutely awesome food, brilliant staff (the manager made sure to come and check on the food status) Amazing food and wonderful attentive staff. Toilets spotless. It was quiet when we went in, the service was still impeccable. Would definitely recommend. 10/10!

Another wonderful Christmas Day at imli thanks to saj and his staff, six of us this time with my daughter and son in law and nothing to much trouble . Fantastic service and a great atmosphere , you just carnt beat it!

Wow what can I say we visited this restaurant with family on Boxing Day. The staff and the food was amazing and a special thank you to the boss who made sure we were looked after.

Absolutely delicious food, especially the Shatkora lamb, a proper Bengal dish, lovely management team too 10/10

Been here many times, food and service consistently good. Went for our Xmas dinner yesterday 25th Dec and although food as good as normal, service was below standard. Had to ask three times (two different people) for a glass of water and later waited 20...

We used to go here every couple of weeks and always gave it extremely supporting reviews. Last couple of times, we were disappointed to be left sitting waiting on poor services due it being understaffed. previous Manager has gone which may be a good thing....

All three of us enjoyed our meals. I am veggie and sometimes have difficulty when eating out. My meal was lovely, my only criticism being that although if you ask for 'Quorn' they have it, they don't list it on their menu. It could be...

Imli is now my favourite restaurant. The food is consistently excellent and service could not be better. I like a very hot curry, and each time they have prepared my sauce to phall heat but without overwhelming the flavour of the food. We visited Imli...

Another fantastic meal at this wonderful restaurant. Always a friendly welcome, and the food and service was brilliant as always. Six of us had different meals, and each one was declared delicious. Always our go to restaurant for a girls get together. Highly recommended

We make the 40 mile trip to St Annes on a Sunday night at least twice a year and always make a point of eating here, taking advantage of the Sunday special menu. The choice, quality, service and value are hard to beat in my opinion. My friend and I had chicken Madras which was just hot enough without being uncomfortable. Our wives both had chicken with a milder sauce as recommended ( see below ). The staff are very polite and efficient. The head waiter, AJ, was new to us but is a fantastic addition to the staff. He was very knowledgeable about the food and was full of recommendations which is a must for people who aren't that familiar with curries. He also made, according to my wife and our two friends, the best Tia Maria coffee they had ever tasted. The owner also came over for a chat and we were discussing the Christmas day menu. Very tempting!

Another opportunity to visit Imli as we were going to a show in Blackpool. Once again the food was amazing with fantastic flavours. Amazed at how busy the restaurant was at 5.30 on a Monday evening in November although not surprised as the food is...

Imli is a very popular Indian venue if not thee most popular in St Annes and is highly recommended just look ay the consistently high revues . Our Chicken Tikka Sambar was superb , similar to a Dhansak but with a lemon twist . Have...

Appauling, would not reccommend, fries instead of chips and very soggy greasy ones , cold food after waiting 40 minutes for it , burnt naan bread(yet its cold) ordered a jalfrezi and it wasn't a traditional jalfrezi it had inside greenbeans,garden peas and sweet corn with bell peppers , not an ounce of spice . Save your money or go somewhere else if you fancy Indian dishes

Really great food and top notch service. Nothing was too much trouble. We attended for a birthday and they happily provided a birthday balloon ahead of our arrival for the celebrations.

We attended this restaurant for my Dad's birthday (8 guests) and it was excellent from start to finish. The staff very kindly made me a chicken korma dish without nuts. All of the food was delicious and the staff were all so patient and kind....

Great curry restaurant for LythamSA. Great value for the early bird menu with good flexibility of choice. Place was busy for a Tuesday evening which is a good sign. We had two ‘option 2’s - meat samosa, chicken pakora (with sauces) then chicken madras and...

Always make a point to visit Imli when in the area. Great food, great prices, service always comes with a smile. Would highly recommend.
