Kebabish Original - K.O. Blackburn in Blackburn with Darwen

I hadn’t been to this restaurant since 2007, but today I returned with a group of over 30 people to celebrate my nephew’s birthday. The experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to be helpful, patient, and genuinely friendly as they managed our large group’s orders. Despite the number of people, the food arrived quickly, and everything was perfectly timed. Kudos to the hardworking staff – they truly deserve recognition and a raise for their outstanding service.

Tasty food. Good service..could do good by reducing the prices 😜😜

Such a great spot!! If you’re in Blackburn definitely make a stop and have some delicious food with excellent service.

Upon returning here as a regular, the food standards have dropped significantly.

Kebabish's food and service is always top tier, clean and hospitable environment with plenty of seating :)

Lovely food and friendly, quality service by Teja. We will definitely be coming again soon.

Delicious food, always fresh and sizzling hot, best in blackburn

Food was lovely friendly waiters low low prices couldn't believe how cheap it was will definitely go back

It was one of the best restaurants I have ever visited, if you want halal fresh but also Indian type food, you should definitely come here to eat. It was also budget-friendly so it'll cost mostly about less that £50 (we were 5 people when I went and it cost £40)

Very nice family atmosphere and nice Indian cuisine lots too choose from definitely something on the menu that everyone will like and amazing service

Very good place and good quality food all the time. Can't fault this place and it's my go to everytime I come to Blackburn. The food and service is alwsys spot on.

Fantastic food. Loved the fish and Achari and the karahi

Brilliant food fast and friendly service 👌

Food is not that good as I was expecting

Food is delicious I really love it

Whenever I’ve come here loved the food NEVER had a more DELICIOUS lamb curry in my life then their lamb pakhtoon im truly addicted

mashaAllah delicious food served quite fast mashaAllah staff wer really nice and helpful not in your face too much but also there when u need the waitress there was really sweet and overall experience was really nice will be going again InshaAllah also mocktails amazing 💯💯💯

We picked mixed grilled for starters and specifically asked for SPICY chicken Karahi for the main. The starters were nice enough but the main dish was so poor it actually turned out to be sweet instead of spicy and they just threw in some green chilli peppers which didn’t work 😢

Another night at Kebabish! Went there tonight for a family meal food was great the place was busy as usual !

Recommended: Pepper chicken steak

That Keema Pilau Rice and Lahori Karahi Ghost (lamb), 10/10!!! Gonna run it again soon🤤🤤🤤🤤

Visited the venue afew days ago and all we can say is amazing food, the tarka dhaal is one of the best dishes on the menu by far, customer service was amazing we where served by a young man by the name of Aqib who went out of his way to make sure our table was attended too for everything.

Excellent service and lovely food, Great value for the price, Food came quicker than expected, We was served by Waseem and akeb Thank you

Came for a evening meal with family, Great customer service by Saad, Food came within 15 mins of ordering, Thanks to the kebabish Staff again.

Over 45 min wait for just a simple take away. And shop wasn’t even busy at that time.

Amazing food full of flavour. So fresh and good quality. The price and quality of the food was top notch. Would definitely recommend!!

Very disappointed with the quality of food. Pakhtooni karahi was not freshly made. Misala Fish was really sub standard made. Overall a very bad food which is quite expensive as well. Will never come back to this hotel again. Totally waste of money. Council food inspector must check the food quality.

The fish and curries are of exceptional quality. I have visited this establishment on numerous occasions. Thank you Ifty from Leicester

Excellently priced for the quality, authentic cuisine. Karahi Lamb Ghost, Nihari were the best I've had in a long time.

Fantastic service very fast, polite friendly staff, amazing food very reasonably priced too all round top notch 👌🏽 would definitely recommend, family friendly

I’m going to start this review with a bit of a rant, which was no fault of the Restaurant. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE IN RESTAURANTS?? We went out for a family meal and had the misfortune to be seated between two groups of people who seemingly had no idea how to control their kids in public. Table 1 had kids screaming, shouting, crying and singing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDAD” at the top of their voices. I’m sure Grandad probably appreciated it, I’m not sure the other 30 people in the restaurant did. To a lesser degree of annoyance the kids on the other table were watching Youtube videos on their phones with the phones on Speaker with the parents just staring cacantly into the distance. Parents, please teach your kids how to behave in public – thank you!! With regards to the restaurant, we’ve been here multiple times before and everything continues to be excellent. Prices are reasonable, portion sizes were much better than last time, service is great and the food is truly excellent. I can heartily recommend this. For a family of 4 you can eat to your heart’s content for £75-£80.

Myself and my wife eat here often. Hands down the best casual dining place in Blackburn by a country mile. Never had a bad experience and we will continue to be customers for many many years. Also the service is impeccable

The food is excellent, large portions and was all served hot. The garlic naans are large and really tasty. We didn't have to wait long for the meal to be prepared. The prices were also good. Well done team KO!

Best in Blackburn. Consistent, delicious, and friendly service. Don't waste your money going to MyLahores or Akbars. Stick to supporting local businesses.

Food the best in Blackburn The server was aslam at counter very good and professional love it. Always make me smile. Keep up good works guys.

We come here all the time and the food and the staff are always top notch. We recently brought our friend Duncan here for his birthday and Yusuf made a real effort with us all!

Mix grill starter was fine, first main lamb dish was good, and the second chicken tikka masala I've had better elsewhere.

Bustling and casual atmosphere. The service was good nonetheless. Great food and plenty of it. Can't argue with the price either.

This place has one of the nicest foods here in Blackburn. The choices on the menu are perfect. I would highly recommend this place if you are in Blackburn or just visiting.

Very nice food and serving. Starters were really good. One of the best places to eat in Blackburn.

A must place to eat. Always good food Even tried the PIYA it was very good.

I'm not sure why this restaurant has good reviews. The food was disappointing. I ordered chicken karahi, which was sweet—who makes sweet karahi? The Lahori till naans were soft but fake. I asked for a cold soda and got a warm drink. Prices are as high as restaurants in London, but the customer service is nonexistent. I had to wait an extremely long time for my food and asked the waiter five times for my drink, only to be ignored. I had to go out of my way to catch the attention of another staff member who was just standing there. This is really poor service. A word of advice: if you want to charge high prices and act like a posh restaurant, focus on customer service first and then the quality of your food.

**Disappointing Experience at Kebabish Original** I recently visited Kebabish Original in Blackburn, and my experience was far from satisfactory. We waited for over an hour for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was barely warm, suggesting it had been sitting out for some time before being served. When we raised our concerns with the staff, they offered no real solution, simply stating they would “pass on our thoughts.” This dismissive attitude towards customer feedback was quite frustrating. Overall, a poor experience with subpar service. I won’t be returning.

Always great food. Quick service. Wife absolutely loves it Came to visit friends. Had to stop here for great tasty food.

Really is a comfortable relaxing restaurant.

Brilliant all around... beautiful food and service

Never had a bad meal here. Everyone's fav is the Karahi chicken. The prices have gone up a lot in the last couple of years so don't visit as much as we used to. Service has always been good and again never had any issues. Don't bother parking right outside the restaurant, there is plenty of parking on the main road and in the car park next to the burger joint.

Absolutely spot on each time we go. Food is nice and fresh and full of flavour. Staff very attentive and made sure everything was in order. Never fails

I travel 40 minutes to come here. This is the best curry ever . And I have had many. Thanks once again…👍😄

food test not good to expensive

Decent desi food which was tasty and fresh. Got the mixed grill, lamb karahi, achari chicken, masala fish and some other bits. Went with a large family group. Staff are polite and attentive.

No place better than Kebabish Original Blackburn. Pakhtuni is excellent

We had a lovely welcome when we arrived and were given the option of several table's. My wife had the award winning Chicken tikka sizzler and I ordered the takaka masala. I was amazed on how quick the service was. Honestly what an experience , Throughout our time there, the staff were friendly and helpful and very attentive. Can’t wait to return

Best time Ever! As v gave a Surprise to Friend on His Birthday, ideal Gift 😍😍😍😍😍

***FOOD POISONING*** Do not come here!!! I ate there and got so ill and had severe food poisoning. I was soo ill I felt like I was gonna die. Very unhygienic. I wish I could report them to environmental officers 🤧

Great service by all staff at kebabish. The owner welcomed us all and made us feel at home. Hasan provided great customer service as well as all of the waiters. Food was 5 star as always. Definitely recommend to anyone. By far the best Indian restaurant for miles around, with many awards and accolades to prove it!

Never let’s you down with some amazing tastes. Had KARAHI GOSHT (lamb) on the bone and it was Alhumdolillah perfect. I will go as far as saying it’s one of the best dishes I have had. We Also got the MIXED STARTERS which were simpunñ

There was seven of us and we enjoyed everything from starters to desserts. It was very busy in there but the food still came out within the hour.

Good food good service . Always seated quickly and without fuss . Seating downstairs always better ,although if entertaining quests of 10 upwards seating will be upstairs . Senior Waiters are attentive and efficient.

Fabulous food, super service and amazing atmosphere. Really enjoyed our meal again, consistently fabulous food every time.

Delicious Kebabs and Unexpected Delights at Kebabish Original If you're looking for fantastic kebabs in Blackburn, look no further than Kebabish Original. They offer a wide selection of kebabs, but that's not all! Their menu extends to delicious Indian curries, and even classic English dishes like fish and chips. I recently visited Kebabish Original and was thoroughly impressed. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the flavors are fantastic. I opted for the karachi chicken, and it was cooked to perfection. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the accompanying salad and sauces were the perfect complements. But what truly surprised me was the quality of their curries. I tried a bit of my friend's chicken tikka biryani, and the rice was fluffy and fragrant, while the chicken was perfectly spiced and tender. It rivaled some dedicated Indian restaurants I've been to! The staff at Kebabish Original were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself has a clean and inviting atmosphere. It's a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Especially thanks to arslaan Adil and Bakr

Too busy to give personal attention

I must say the food was excellent. Travelled from approximately 4 hours away and must say the owners of the business (two brothers) introduced themselves and really made us feel at home and were very welcoming. Top people and top food you really cannot go wrong. Definitely go with the mix grill. Definitely will return.

Very good food, staff are very helpful and friendly

Lovely food staff very freindly and polite realy enjoyed the food and not expensive 😀

Excellent food and really busy.

Always fantastic food and service, one of my favourite places to go. Would highly recommend it.

Food was good but not what I expected.we ordered biryani and some grilled food,the kababs were really good but Biryani I can say they don't know atleast the basic biryani or its meaning,They mixed the Lamb curry with normal rice(It doesn't looks like Basmathi rice) and it tasted as bad as itcan be then we have returened that lamb biryani and ordered lamb kheema birayani it was also the same taste.Overall I can say you can try kababs,chops but not Biryani and Paya(lamb leg) curry.

Amazing food and service. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for great food with a relaxing atmosphere.

Regular at Kebabish & as always the food on point. The service swift & respectful as always & the ambience as always nicely loud & vibrant.

Great flavoursome food very authentic dishes, plenty of it walk away feeling very satisfied. Staff where great made sure there plenty of food and drinks

Fantastic food and great service. Would highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

The food was absolutely beautiful, nice choice of starts, an good selection for the main courses, recommended to friends at work and family, will definatly be back.

Food was delicious, very generous portions and so tasty, would recommend 100% and will be definitely returning! Thankyou again

Came here for a meal with my family and the owner was acting weird. He kept coming to our table, even though we had everything we needed, and then he put his hands on the table in an intimidating manner. Just strange

Amazing hot sizzling food.. Quick service. Parking could be made easier. Alot of options of food. Good seating too. Ideal place to have a family meal or just a catch up with friends.

went for my hubbys birthday and Rohit Rana made it very special for us . highly recommended . would definitely visit again

Had a takeaway from here tonight and it was so good. Chicken Tikka Biriyani was so tasty, light fluffy rice and spicy big pieces of chicken tikka. My daughter thinks the chicken korma here is the best she’s had anywhere. All the food was really hot and tasty and the naans are so well made. Husband had the bhindi gosht and the lamb was melt in the mouth. Friendly service just difficult to park nearby.

We visited on a family trip from Leicester. The award winning chicken tikka truly was award worthy and the cod fish was absolutely delicious. The service was great and I highly recommend! 🤤

Love it every time we go. Never disappointed

I've been coming to Kebabish ever since I was a child. Now, it is mine and my husband's place to go if we want a curry in Blackburn. Food is always lovely and fresh, service is good too. We always get the butter chicken that's our go to, and we tend to pick a new curry every time for our seconds to try. We always have enough food left over for the next day as portion sizes are good.

Absolutely amazing food! Thank you!!! Will be back at some point in the next few weeks! Many thanks waseem and the chefs big respect!!

We always get food from Kebabish. Excellent food and reasonable prices.

Good experience for friends and family. Food is not spicy mild.

Went last nite "satday"after reading and hearing about this place. It was every thing and more. Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. 10/10

Fantastic food and superb service. Always great when ever you go. Thank you Team Kebabish for another wonderful meal, topped the evening perfectly.

This is place is a little gem and is always our first choice when dining out. The food is top quality and the flavours are out of this world. The service is second to none and the whole team work incredibly hard to cater to guests every need. We love coming to eat in this restaurant, every time we order something new off the menu, we are blown away with the food. Real family run restaurant with a great atmosphere. My family love coming here time and time again, we always have the best time and can’t recommend Kebabish enough!!!!!! The best food place around!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The place was very lovely. The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. Would definitely come again. One of the best restaurants!

Tasty, succulent, and piping hot food served by pleasant staff. Absolutely faultless. Can’t wait to see what new menu items are introduced. They’ll do well to improve on their mix grill platter. Our absolute favourite!

Lovely place. Great fast service. Lovely staff . The atmosphere was very nice. Had a lively time and meal with the family. Food was served hot .would defo recommend it

The atmosphere is wonderful though a bit hectic. The food is always made fresh and the customer service is good.

Very good food and very good services, very quick
