Lenas Tandoori in Bolton

I just love Tandoori chicken and it is clear that the kitchen staff love making it. One of the best in Bolton

Buscando indio para comer en una noche de sábado Lenas llegamos al otro lado. Desde el exterior se veía bien, pero estaba vacío interior a las 7 de la tarde ... nunca una buena señal. Sin embargo, al estar hambrientos y cansados decidimos tomar un riesgo y comer allí. Fue una agradable sorpresa, ya que la comida era buena y abundante. La parte buena y el servicio es correcto. Nada especial, pero una comida india sincera a un precio razonable. empezaban a llenar y por el tiempo que nos fuimos y estaba medio lleno.

The best tandoori restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to dine in .... Excellent staff... Beautiful atmosphere and the food is second to none .. Will be returning for sure 👍🏻👌🏻x

the Leena is my favourite tandoori restaurant, the meats are always well marinaded and cooked perfectly in a proper tandoor oven, the nan bread is superb, fluffy and light, the service is always good and portions generous, i cant comment on curries as i never get that far, i give in and have the tandoori !!

Yo y otros 11 fueron en Navidad día que tenían que ser un menú estilo buffet, cuando llegamos no había menú buffet porque pusieron una mesa extra en el buffet ha sido durante los últimos 3 años. Fueron muy personal nos llevó a muchas personas que no podía soportar! Nos trajeron empezar a nuestra mesa y Main, pero no desierto! Sin duda no será volver de nuevo próximas Navidades y no muy amigable con la comida de niño ' !

Fui a Lenas Tandoori esta noche con mi amigo y nos lo pasamos de maravilla. La comida era deliciosa y fresca y el servicio era de 5 estrellas. El personal era muy servicial, así como el propietario Mr Naz que era muy cálido y nos proporcionó una cálida bienvenida y se ocuparon de todas nuestras necesidades. Los aperitivos y plato principal era muy agradable. Sin duda volveremos con amigos y familiares. Bien hecho Naz sigan el buen trabajo.

Vine aquí el viernes 4 de diciembre con amigos. Llegamos allí a media 8, nos llevaron a una mesa. Esperamos un rato para pedir una bebida. Sólo 3 vinos disponibles, ninguno de los cuales estaban en la lista de vinos. Otros 20 minutos después, el camarero vino a decirnos que iba a tomar el orden de la mesa de al lado y luego venían y nuestra orden. Pedimos poppadoms para comenzar. Para ser breve, después de 45 minutos y tener aún no ordenados, que ganó la atención de los camareros que llegaron y dijo, " ¿qué quiere?" pedimos y nos dijeron que otra vez no sería una media hora de espera para la comida. Comenzamos a la orden y dijeron que no podría haber thali. Nos preguntamos por qué me dijeron que estaba en el criterio del "director." Pedimos la factura y a ver el gerente. 10 minutos más tarde, todavía no había ley ni director. Después de estar un máximo listos para salir, conseguimos nuestra factura de 25 libras y habíamos estado allí una hora sin pedir nuestra comida. La camarera era una delicia, vergüenza y así se disculpó. Los camareros y el director llamado eran groseros y poco profesional. Finalmente habló con el gerente de explicar que si no iba a ser una espera, deberían he explicado antes nos enseñó a nuestra mesa. Absolutamente repugnante. Fuimos a Laibaz unas cuantas puertas hasta comer y tenía comida en la mesa a menos de 20 minutos, y era preciosa. No se podía pagar suficiente para volver aquí!

Love coming here, always fresh and we'll prepared Staff are so friendly and constantly go out of their way to impress. Definitely value for money, already looking forward to the next visit!

We have had excellent food and service. The meat was very tasty and tender. My husband tried vegetable dish which he enjoyed very much. back soon.

Fui con dos amigas el viernes por la noche, uno de ellos había sido antes y dijo que era bueno. Todo lo que puedo decir es que es el peor curry que he tenido. Esperamos una cantidad de tiempo considerable para bebidas así como una mesa cerca de nosotros. Dado que sólo había 4 mesas sentado en todo el restaurante esto es imperdonable. Ninguno de nosotros disfrutamos cualquiera de nuestros platos. El principio jalfrezi era terrible. El pollo bhuna era horrible. Personalmente, no lo recomiendo si estás buscando una sabrosa curry auténtico. Estoy seguro de que hay mucho lugares superiores en Bolton.

me, my wife and our two kids visited in leena last saturday,last time i been leena eight months ago,its different look leena,everything has changed,we really enjoyed,service was friendly,atmosphere was nice,price was affordable,

Food did take a while to arrive as it was a take away but it was definatly worth the wait. Would order from them again 10/10 for value.

After being seated ordered drinks I went to the bathroom and the young waitress came in after me sobbing telling me they treat her bad , the meal was rubbish under cooked rice and look warm chicken sizzler which was not sizzling , we went to pay but was told we can't take card payments (although it states on the door they can) so my husband had to walk to the cash machine for cash .will never go back

On our way to Manchester, we got off the train in Bolton to change. We had a bit of time to kill, so decided to eat. Found one Indian restaurant close to the station, but they were absolutely packed. No chance for a quick bite there. We don't know Bolton at all, so we just walked in the direction of what we expected to be some form of main street. Came across this restaurant and went in. It was completely empty. What a difference from the one across the railway line. Ordered food, but even with an empty restaurant they took their sweet time.Compared to the Indian restaurant I visit in Cambridge each year, this was a disappointment. Sloshy food, quite bland, a forgetable experience. Some questionable electronic cable connections by the window did not up the feeling. We had to go quickly, and left. At least I didn't get sick from eating it.

Good food, good service and good value from Leena as always. We went for the buffet menu at £11.95 per head. The drinks cost £10.95 for a round of 3 (two pints and a Southern Comfort and coke). £57.75 in total for 3 x 3 courses with 2 drinks each. Very Good.

We were the only people in the restaurant. Other Indian restaurants were full and couldn't accomodate us. Waiting staff were welcoming. Menu is very long and we could see the arrangements for the Buffett too. Food was ok but I've had far better. You can see through to the kitchen.

Ordered from the take away menu a chicken tikka starter, chicken dupiaza main but food did not seem right. Chicken tasted very cheap or off. Was sick from what I had already ate and threw the rest away. My personal opinion is to avoid

Went here with family on a Sunday evening was welcomed with a pair of what I would call paranoid waiters that stood there watching all through what they would call a meal, there was one young waiter who was really helpfull and friendly , in all the food is disgusting warmed up leftovers absolute garbage, never again

Went here with a few work friends and have to say it's the worst food I've tasted from the many restaurants I've been. When we got there, the waiter assumed we all wanted to go for the buffet option so he brought poppadoms and then started bringing out starters and placed it on our table. He said because it's not busy he will bring food to the table instead of us getting up. I smelt the food and it smelt off like it had been out for days and a few of my friends said the chicken from the starter was so dry it tasted like it has been under the grill for hours, the seekh kebab tasted disgusting, the mains tasted bland and didn't have any flavour to it. We ended up eating poppadoms and chips and then asked for the bill. To our annoyance he charged all 8 of us for the buffet option when only 4 of us chose it so we queried it, the waiter started getting aggressive and said you can't just come here and have chips. Never again are we going to this place again! The place was dead, no atmosphere, area is rubbish and food is just disgusting. Advice for anyone thinking of going here! Don't bother there are far better places to eat!

I'm not one for buffets as the food tends to be bland and warm. However Leenas is an exception. We have been a few time with all the family and the staff a very accomodating. My daughter is a vegitairian and they made here a korma dish and allowed her to also us the buffet.Food on the buffet was kept to small portions and refreshed regularly - perfect way, as the food does not have time to go limp. Well done Leema.

We have just been for the first time to this restaurant and I have to say I was very impressed, the food was fantastic, very fresh, and very tasty, the staff were also very polite and very helpful, we took a small child and they even went the extra mile and made him some chicken nuggets (we didn't even have to ask) nothing was too much trouble, I have to say I am already thinking about my next visit to this restaurant, yum yum I can't wait

Four of us went out last night as a treat for me. We ordered various dishes: a starter and three different meals. The food was excellent; the service was outstanding. It was the best Indian meal I have ever eaten. We were all very impressed. An evening to remember!! We shall return!!

I've always been impressed by the quality of this restaurant and since the refurbishment they've added a buffet too!During quieter times, like the night of the opening ceremony of the World Cup, poppadoms and the starters are brought to you. There's a mixed selection of starters, onion bhajis, kebabs, chicken chunks & wings are severed on a sizzling hot plate.There is a good selection of curries for the main, all clearly labelled and explained (if needed).Choice of rice and naan included (& even chips if required).The staff are always friendly and professional. A real 'family' feel to the business. Service is attentive. This is all for £10 (I don't know if this changes at peak times).Treat the staff with the same respect and you might be offered a complimentary brandy or Baileys.

As a Business traveller I came here as a direct result of reading the trip advisor reports / feedback and how please I am that I did.Customer ServiceFrom being greeted at the door to being seen to the door the service was professional, friendly and personal.AmbianceGood layout, well presented. Nice surroundings in no way cheap or tacky.FoodExceptional quality and quantity of food. Freshly cooked, well presented and thankfully served steaming hotCostAgain, exceptionally well priced for a great dining experience.

Freindly staff and good food....didnt do the buffet but the service and food was really good....would recommend

My wife and I looking for somewhere to eat about 9:30 on a Saturday night. This was just round the corner.An all you can eat Halal Indian/Tandoori. We started with poppadoms and the usual pickle trays, the pops were warm which was nice.Then the choice of around 20 different items, from bhaji to samosa to korma, tikka masala, and a range of sides. Slightly warmer than traditional I thought but all very tasty never the less. For £10 per head you can't go wrong. Drinks reasonably priced too.The main positive about this place was the staff, friendly, polite, attentive and very welcoming. I do like the touch when they shake your hand and thank you for visiting as they put your coat on for you and open the door for you.Would have been a 4 rating overall, but the staff have pushed it to a 5 for me.

I agree with all the reviews about the good quality and good value you get at Leena. I used to dine here regularly in the past, but hadn't been for a few years. I've now been twice recently and enjoyed both visits. The last time we had the buffet on a very quiet Monday evening before going to the theatre. we were served puppadums and a large platter of mixed starter items, then invited to help ourselves from the buffet. I was pleased to see that the food in the buffet tureens was not in huge quantities, they were cooking fresh to replace dishes that ran out. we went to the theatre happy and well fed. We will be back soon.

First of all we got poppa-doms which were over done and too greasy. Then the buffet was cold (burners wasnt hot enough). And finally the chocate cake was frozen; another customer also complained about the cake and the waiter had a horrible attitude about it. Saying it couldnt have been. I wanted him to try it but he said I didn't need to prove anything because it wasnt frozen. THEY NEVER APPOLOGISED OR OFFERED ANY FORM OF DISCOUNT. Very disappointed. And im not a picky person normally ive eaten in some bad places but never resulted in giving a negative review. THIS IS THE WORST OUT OF ALL....

Really consistent food, prepared for the most part 'live' behind a glass panel. Even the buffet is very acceptable if you are in a hurry, or can't be bothered to select from the menu. Nice staff, chilled Cobra, delicious (comfortingly, reassuringly recognisable) Bangladeshi food. I have been here 4 times in the last 5 weeks on visits to Bolton and have always thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Leena has been a long standing favourite in Bolton for many years, but in the past has sometimes been overlooked because of its location on the busy A666 in Bolton centre. Hearing that our friend Al, who used to run the Bromley Cross Green Bengal in its heyday, had moved to help run The Leena, we lost no time in arranging to pay a visit. What a change from the old Leena! Warm, friendly service, ice cold beer and wine served within a couple of minutes as we pondered the very interesting and extensive menu, we knew we in for a really nice meal. Choosing a mix of excellent starters and meals from their chef's special section, we were delighted with the presentation and full rich flavours of our meals, which were Tikka Masala and South Indian chicken based meals. Mine was one genuinely one the best curries I have ever had. As curry fanatics for many years, we can highly recommend the Leena for its range of genuine Bangladeshi dishes. We ordered from the a la carte menu, but they also do a very extensive and wonderful smelling buffet selection, with many dishes to choose from. The restaurant obviously has a number of regulars who make the trip to Bradshawgate to get exactly the sort of food they want; we'll certainly be joining that lucky band of people who have rediscovered the joys of The Leena! By the way, parking is easy and safe round that area and free after 6.00.Linda and Tony

Found this restaurant just by chance and decided to go in, Saturday night and only another table was occupied so was a bit suspicious however my mind was soon put at rest. The waiter was very attentive and when we ordered meals from the menu rather than have the buffet he came over with free popadoms and dips, our main courses came over on sizzling platters and the food was amazing and plenty of it, I can not understand why the restaurant was empty as the food was delicious and the service excellent, after we had paid our bill we where asked if we wanted brandy or Bailey's on the house, which again I thought was a nice touch. Would highly recommend this Indian restaurant to anyone visiting Bolton

We found this restaurant whilst wandering Bolton town. We were staying at the travelodge round the corner & were looking for a bar menu really but left it a bit late. The board outside said Lena's offered a buffet for £9.95 each so the 3 of us went in.As other mention, it was very very quiet & only 2 other tables were occupied. The restaurant is nicely furbished & clean. Any mess appears to be quickly tidied away.We were greeted & seated quickly, waiter explained we could have buffet or order from the menu. We chose the buffet & our drinks came in minutes.The waiter(possibly the manager) bought us some popadoms & told us to ask when we wanted our mains & he'd bring us fresh rice & naan's. The buffet had a really good choice of food, lots of starters & lots of mains. All was very nicely cooked. I'm quite fussy about Indian food but found plenty of choice of curry's & sides. This is possibly the nicest indian meal i've eaten in a very long time.At the end of the meal we were offered a free brandy or baileys which was nice. The waiters are very attentive and want to make sure you enjoy your meal, which we did.Totally recommend this restaurant, it should really be much busier.

Amazingly this restaurant has been here for around 40 years, but I have not visited for around 20. I was surprised that on a Saturday night there was a buffet on offer though I believe there is also a standard menu.Going for the buffet option, I was pleasantly surprised at the good range of starter type dishes, and also that naans were offered, as I have frequently encountered rice only buffets. Main dishes were all perfectly acceptable.What surprised me was the lack of people in an established centrally located restaurant on a Saturday night in a large town. It is a time of the week I normally avoid when having a curry, but only 2 or 3 tables were occupied, so exactly the opposite of the crowded 'melee' I expected.

Had a birthday party here with work mates and we were really well looked after, excellent fresh food, reasonable prices. I will remain a regular but can't believe there was only us 12 and 2 or 3 small tables in on a friday night. Real pity. Need to advertise!

I am a regular to leena and the quality of the food is always very good. There is plenty of choice of dishes ideal for someone that likes to mix and match. We especially like the lamb dishes as they are always cooked perfectly. I agree that they are generally not that busy but it must be they don't advertise enough as the food is well worth a visit. Staff are always friendly.

I went with two other ladies on Tuesday 18 December for a Christmas outing. We had made a reservation for 7pm. When we arrived the restaurant empty, and it stayed empty all evening till just before we left when two men came into the restaurant. What a disappointment. There was a good selection of food on the buffet. Poppodums and dips came promptly and could have been replenished if we had wanted. The starters were plentiful. The mains were chosen, after we had our choice of rice and nan bread freshly cooked. Just a shame no atmosphere a week before Christmas.

The name of the restaurant is actually Leenas now.Since my last visit I have tried the buffet but found it a bit limited as my favourite dishes are not on it.However,for anyone wishing to try different foods it's ideal.The staff are very friendly and attentive plus the wines are excellent.I preferred it when they did "a la carte"which,by the way is still available.I feel that it has lost atmosphere somehow and it reminds me of a cafeteria.

Cant believe Leena wasnt busier last night (saturday)staff were great, my house wine made me wince so waiter changed it without me asking.new buffet is fantastic, tasty, spicy, good selection and tender meat. There were bombay potatoes, id have loved a mixed veg dish. Waiter said they change dishes every other day so maybe next time. Poppadoms and chutneys are served to table and if you want naan (any flavour) or chips they are cooked fresh. Fantastic and highly recommended. Next time will takemy own wine as that's an option

Recently reopened after a refurbish. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. The onion bajis and naan were to die for. The food is presented as a buffet style and the chef will prepare whatever you want if it's not already available. You can even take your own booze should you wish. They just charge you corkage.Would definitely recommend a visit.

Although the Leena has changed from a restaurant to buffet an a la carte menu is still available.We stuck with the a la carte because that is what we were expecting.The food was excellent,as usual.The wine choice was interesting,red,rose or white.The red was a Merlot(very nice indeed.Next time we will try the buffet(at £11 pounds,how could you go wrong)The staff were very attentive,as usual.Lots of "freebies" as usual.We have been frequenting this restaurant since it opened many years ago.

Great food, very tasty. Good choice of dishes, something for all tastes. Handy for a meal after late night shopping around Xmas time.

Food okay. Town centre, used to dealing with rowdy gangs out for a few drinks and a curry. Bear this is mind!Not exactly quality cuisine, but does the trick if you fancy a curry after a night in the pub!Personally, I would jump in a cab and go a mile down the road to the Sunar Gaw at Burnden Park!

Bit dearer than the average curry house but well worth it

always get great service and lovely food - get a vimto lolly on your way out!!!
