Musafir in Pendle

Excellent food, people, atmosphere. The menu is much more varied than many Indian restaurants and eat in or take out it is always excellent quality and quantity. Definitely deserves it's recent Best Restaurant Award

Ordered a takeaway from here whilst away on holiday. This restaurant is a 20 minute drive from our caravan site but our go to curry house when away. Well worth the trip. Lamb bhuna is amazing as are the peshwari naans!

The most amazing takeaway meal. It was beautiful and hot and delivered by a polite member of staff.

Being foodies we go for authentic, well balanced dishes using the best ingredients. Many Indian restaurants use poor ingredients, with standard bland sauces, only differing in the amount of chilli. The Bollywood is different, authentic and without doubt the best Indian restaurant in the area. However having seen the reviews of Musafir, we tried a takeaway and thought we'd compare. The delivery was on time and very friendly., good start. The breads were not great, keema naan was poor, thin and dry, paratha oily and not crispy ( admittedly not helped by the delivery time). The rice was ok but the portions were small. The mixed starter and desi masala were very good, well flavoured with a good balance to the spices. Although the Afghani masala tasted nice, the bright green colouring on the meat was a terrible idea. Because of the colour my wife couldn't eat it, just reminded her of rotten meat 😱. The quality chicken in the main dishes was ok but as it was only small pieces difficult to assess. Overall some good, some bad, we would eat here again but you need to order specific items.

Sadly you have been our ‘go to’ restaurant for years but this is the second time you have been sub standard. This is worse than anything we have ordered before. The food was late and Luke warm. The paratha was soaked in oil and cold. I have a photo if you are interested. Strangely the salad was warm. Think this will be our last order from Musafir. Sorry!

Honestly the most honest review… both my dishes were mostly sauce.. no meat no veg just a tub of sauce.. very tasty sauce but not ok when you pay so much per serving! Nan bread was so thin I thought it was a chapati?? Even the popadom was paper thin I couldn’t even dip it!! The food was tasty but the 3 prawns chopped up in a dish was a joke! The prawn stater was little bits of prawns and the main dish was sauce with almost nothing in it I actually had to go fishing! £40 for a lot of sauce sorry 

Lovely place, lovely people, and the food is out of this world.

very nice food. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and will be ordering from hear again

The delivery driver was very very nice & friendly,a*****

Great tasty food! Would definitely recommend and we will be ordering again 😋

This is the best Indian around here and we live in Colne. The food always tastes freshly made with herbs and spices great place to eat an Indian would highly recommend.

I use Musafir regularly but let down tonight. I have requested a refund. £76 poorly spent. Items missing, spilt and luke warm food, over 30 mins later than advised also. Suspect delivery issue rather than the restaurant. First time its been this way.

Brilliant food and delivery. 10/10 I never order anywhere else!

Great tasting food, friendly and quick delivery.

beautiful curry gorgeous naan bread. the onion bhaji are not good they are flat soggy and lacked flavour. I'd definitely order again though it was extremely tasty

Excellent food nothing to fault

Always a good meal. Friendly delivery driver too!

As always fantastic food and always arrives hot! Even though we are in Colne. Driver is always pleasant as well.

I love this place. Great quality and excellent value. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Driver very friendly, food arrived hot. Huge portions compared to my home town. Food tasted great. Would use again.

Excellent food and service everytime. Best takeaway in town.

Really dry chicken bits not sure if it was thighs or definitely not breast. Lamb chops were dry and covered in burnt sauce. Rice had no flavour. Nan was good onion bhaji was flat and greasy for £50! Most of it is in the bin. Sorry just being honest. In a positive it was all hot.

Delicious and fresh will definitely be back

Great restaurant/takeaway. I recommend this place so much. Delicious food and fantastic staff.

Absolutely beautiful and tasty best light chapatis from anywhere I’ve previously been ! garlic nan amazing curries very flavoursome and starters amazing too arrived piping hot to colne with friendly delivery driver . Will be ordering again

We are a fair way from the restaurant but they deliver over a wide area! Thank goodness they do as it’s by far the best Indian food for miles around. Highly recommended.

Used this curry house for a few years now, has never disappointed once. When dining in the staff are amazing and so friendly, Ordering out is just as good too

Never turned up and saying it been delivered now this is the last straw now i want my money back and im deleting your app and not useimg ait again

Lovely food & great service, we will be ordering again!

From the walking in the door everything looks good friendly and welcoming clean ordered food very friendly waiters trying different curry from the menu is what we like

absolutely stunning food, will be returning. Delivery driver was lovely and friendly

absolutely exquisite again best curry hourse for miles 👌 🙌

Wow… what a find! Staying at Ribblesdale Park, fancying a bit of a change after a busy outdoors day, we decided to order an Indian. The food was absolutely delicious, the most authentic Meat Karahi ever, all the dishes were stunningly cooked with a fantastic balance of spice and taste! Zee the delivery driver was so friendly and accommodating, calling us to say he’s on his way…. allowing a little extra time in the bar to meet him 😃 Would definitely recommend to anyone ! Thank you ☺️

First time using theses guys wow food was amazing definitely use you again loved it

A little bit to much sweet chill sauce. It made the kebab sloppy.

Best paneer tikka in a long time

Blummin delicious! We ordered this evening to our caravan site which seemed to be no problem. The driver turned up (on time which we thought was great for a Saturday night!) and was super friendly and polite! A really nice guy! We wish we had some money on us to give him a tip! We ordered quite a few dishes for the family and every single one was delicious. Everyone was happy including the vegetarian and 3 year old. Lovely quality and generous portions. Absolutely recommend!

Really disappointed in the honesty of the delivery driver tonight. I sent my son up the drive with the £40 for the delivery driver, the app along with the delivery driver confirming £32.65 my son came in with £2.60. 😂 rang musafirs straight away and explained I don’t want the £5 just know your drivers a dancing boy. No apology or offer of refund! Basically yes thanks well tell him off. 😂 check your change people no biggi just a moral thing..😐 also no recipe anywhere on bag ( removed )

I’m a fussy eater with high expectations and here did not disappoint at all! Tasty, hot and fresh food. Great service. Good price. Will be back

Quickest delivery ever, these guys would give superman a run for his money. Highly recommended

Lovely! Will be ordering again 😀

hands down the best curry around! will be back the kairahi was beautiful and my mum said the bhuna was excellent and exactly how it should be.

Great place for good food. Service prompt and attentive, without lingering annoyance. Generous servings good price.

Musafir my favourite local restaurant

Food sadly was not edible. It takes a lot for me & my boyfriend to not actually be able to eat something as we are far from fussy. masala was literally as thin as water, it had separated & a thick layer of grease on top. I tried to stir it, it wouldn’t stir together, the whole thing was grease. chips were soggy & undercooked. Rice, again full of grease. Nan, greasy but only thing partially edible if that. All thrown in bin, wasted £25 no refund!!

Curry very greasy, swimming in oil, had to soak up with kitchen roll. Other than that it was quite nice.

Great food, great value for money. Our go to curry place now

Food amazing best there is highly recommended 👌 5 *****

kababs are amazing and the size is very impressive an actual full sized nanny bread. arrived in time nice and hot. the chicken was cooked beautifully. would definetly go again.

Just ordered and received a very tasty curry. Chicken tikka and madras were very good. Delivery was fast to Skipton Tarn House caravan park x Definitely use again

Fast and efficient service. Ordering was straightforward and easy to use. The food as delicious as always.

Food is normally brilliant but tonight is was awful and freezing cold

Spot on thank you! Food was fresh/hot and delivered timely. Best Indian we’ve had for a while and we aren’t from the area!

THE LOVE...... The main ingredient of this restaraunts popularity is not actually its amazing food but rather the warmth, care and humanity of the family running it. 'Madge', the patriarch/host is the perfect frontman! He always has time for a sincere and genuine chat. He listens with real interest to his customers, comprehending and caring about their life. I know this because I see him enquiring for new information regarding previous customer conversation. Magit makes you feel like you belong almost like a part of the Musafir family. THE FOOD...... There is a 'sauce-erer' hidden away in the back of this restaraunt! A culnary genius secretly blending herbs, spices and ingredients to a level of magical wizardry! The cook/chef producing the food here is obviously a very experienced dish mystro who never fails to satisfy my palet. I am myself an accomplished artist and creative producer, one who has often been desctibed as a perfectionist. So when I tell you this chef is a real artist, you can believe it is true! His food is simply delicous. The texture of his chicken masala is a heavenly creamy affair that stimulates the taste buds supremely. I do believe it to be the very best chicken Masala I have ever eaten anywhere. THE SERVICE ....... Madgits D.N.A. is a true asset to all staff helping out from his family! They all posess his warmth and charm. The effort to improve your mental wellbeing whilst seated is a clear business policy. There is never a problem, only solutions. Every requirement is dealt with positively, happily and eagerly. There is a good helping of joviality that keeps a smile on the customers face! The staff never forget a name or a face. This sense of social regard creates a wonderful atmosphere of inclusion. Great care is also taken to be accurate and efficient with orders. The waiters make absolutely sure they have your order completely correct. When the food arrives it always feels like a very reasonable waiting period, a length of time that should be rightly expected when food is cooked from fresh. There is definitely no pre prepared food being microwaved here! Madge or his staff make you feel cared for during your feast with occaisional table checks to confirm the quality of your experience. This is done just enough and done subtly and with professionalism. FINAL WORDS...... This is by far my very favorite Indian restaraunt. I have tried most in my area and around Skipton, Keighley and Colne and nothing touches them. The 4 elephants comes close but falls short on atmosphere and warmth. The cost of the food at Musafir's is maybe a tiny bit on the higher side but I am a great believer in paying that bit more for true quality.for this reason I always gain a pleasant sense of satisfaction when I see my bill! It is always a bargain! Needless to say we always leave a good tip! This is a magical family restaraunt providing the highest quality cousine at a rediculously good price. If you value good food, a fantastic host and a very classy environment to eat in then Musafir's should not be missed. I have spoken. 👨🏻‍🎓

the chicken was diabolical like it had been left for days before cooking it was pulling apart and very dry the rice portion for nearly 4pound was a half portion

Food was really good and the delivery driver was very polite and friendly, thank you :)

Absolutely beautiful the best tandoori chicken I’ve ever had all of it spot on but that chicken thank you for making our holiday treat special

Food was very good and the delivery driver was very nice and friendly too, thank you

Excellent food and service. I would definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazed by tonight’s Order! Our food was on the way to be delivered to us a few minutes after I put the order in. The delivery lad was very polite and had a smile on his face which was lovely to see! One of the tastiest curries I’ve ever had! We will definetly be ordering more often! So happy with everything from start to finish! Thankyou!

Lovely food and quick delivery definitely order again Thankyou 😊

they forgot part of my order, but the food was still hot and tasted good

Great food, very tasty. All dishes amazing and great value for money. One rice missing but refunded immediately no questions asked. Delivery service great, delivery guy really friendly. Would order again.

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala. Was ok but wasn't normally what I get. It had no spice init at all. wouldn't order that again. Didn't even look like a masala. was just red sauce and not orange.

Excellent food and delivered on time by a very polite driver

The food was ok, it wasn’t super warm and the rice wasn’t pilau how I would expect it, it looked more like brown rice and had an odd smell.

Awesome curry and great value!

Gorgeous food, nice and hot too

Amazing food, great price, lovely and very welcoming staff! If you haven’t tried anything before, I recommend ordering! A+++

Over all good! The Madras was a bit tasteless more heat than flavour

probably the best curries we have had for a long time. all so good.

great food best in a long time

Although there’s 20-30 curry restaurants / takeaways that deliver to our address, the majority are under average and not worthy of repeat order... That was until we found Musafir! Excellent friendly staff, the food came 30mins early, piping hot and was outstanding. We had the tikka paneer and a mixed kebab to start followed by a chilly chicken and chicken Dopiaza with a naan and rice. All of it was exceptional and hands down the best curry we’ve had delivered by far - Would highly recommend.

Wow the kebab fed 3 of us and tasted great

Always excellent food from here, we love the tikka masala.. and a special shout out to the delivery driver who is really friendly! :)

There was about an inch of oil ontop of the butter Chciken and it looked like it had curdled some how, the onion bajhs were soggy pancakes, the driver was very polite tho

The delivery driver clearly didn’t read the address we submitted as he called us from the town our address was listed under which was 15 mins away. We pre ordered for a delivery slot of 8:30 and didn’t get our food until nearly 9pm

We went with a group of friends, some use the restaurant regularly and had recommended it. We had a warm welcome from all the staff. We had a range of dishes. The starters were king prawn puri/ mixed kebab / lamb chops all were nice. The mains were a variety of dishes. I opted for the chicken thali which was one of the tastiest dishes I have had in a long time. There were 3 types of different chicken curries, rice , an onion bhaji and a small naan. All small portions and absolutely delicious!! Wine was reasonably priced as were the meals. A lovely evening and we are looking forward to visiting again soon

Great staff & the food is lush.

Not the best we have had. The breads were pasty. Garlic prawns watery. Balti lamb methi was good. Quiet evening or different chef. Did not hit usual standard .

Delivery man very polite and friendly food was great

Pitta kebab had no pitta, mango chukney was open all over the bag when delivered

Authentic food that tastes great

Quality food and service everytime. Best take-away by far.

Starter was very dry and some of it was well over cooked

Excellent food first time ordered will order again

Everything good only problem didn't get my naan bread

First time but won’t be the last ! Dealt with the raucousness of our party with amazing patience. Food excellent and the service very efficient .

I had a fantastic birthday meal at Musafir earby the staff were great ..Thankyou

Food was good as ever, Hot, Fresh , Tasty, Quick. I did however want to know why everything was more expensive than in Menu put through my door Recently, and Delivery says free within three Miles! I live in Earby and charged £1:50 Chapati says 75p i was charged £1-10 Chips £2 i paid £2:50, Dopiaza £7:95 i paid £8:75 !

Incredible food, good flavours and tasted fresh. Chicken was still tender in both curries. Food arrived a little late but was piping hot. Appreciated the free poppadoms and dips too.

Always really enjoyed food from here (Skipton and since you moved to Earby ), this time most was wonderful everything was hot , the madras was spicy the sizzler was absolutely beatiful ,chapatis and chips were perfect however the chicken bhuna was dissapointing ,most the chicken pieces looked like they'd been scraped off the chicken carcass as an afterthought and had a odd texture and colour and the rest of the bhuna was just mush, hopefully next time everything will be back to perfection

Didn't delivered the food. Instead they say enjoy your food. Frustrated.

Staff very friendly and helpful all fantastic. Food expensive for what we had and not the best quality though the children's menu choice was good.

Fantastic food and serve. Best take-away around by far.

Both starters were really dry & the naan also. The only part I really enjoyed was the rice. I can see the reviews are good which is why I went for this place - maybe I caught them on a bad night.

Gorgeous, great value for money. Will definitely order again

The last few times I've ordered the food was brilliant, unfortunately this time the Korma was just the base gravy and very runny, it tasted like onion soup. The Garlic Chili was missing its usual taste but was okay. Shame because this was my favourite place as the curry is usually the best.

Friendly helpful staff and amazing fodder! Could not fault either of our meals. 10/10! Highly recommend Plenty of garlic on the garlic naan

Regularly order from this place and have eaten inside several times. Always had great food and would recommend highly.
