Nellie Indian Restaurant in West Lancashire

We love it here, the food is fabulous every time lovely staff best Indian around.

Himalayan gost highly recommended great food and lovely setup. Pleasant staff

First time tonight amazing all good.

Excellent food and service, always a great place to eat🙂

Food excellent. Ordered a takeaway to have with my family for my birthday. First family get together since lockdown. Everyone enjoyed what they had. Thank you to all the staff at Nellie's

Honestly amazing everything was so good could not fault anything the service was amazing the staff are so kind and the food was amazing so flavourful so clean and the bathrooms were spotless ! Would definitely recommend here

The best takeaway curry I’ve had flavour wise, but for the price not enough chicken and garlic naan was average, which was disappointing

One our favourite restaurants. Authentic Bangladeshi food. We regularly eat here and have a great relationship with the staff.

This was our first visit here. I understand it has been recently renovated and it is indeed a very pleasant interior. The staff were nice and the service good. we were given a lovely corner table and pappadams and drinks arrived promptly. The main courses were excellent. We had the butter chicken and the king prawn zaffroni along with a mushroom rice and garlic nan. My only criticism of the food would be my goa fish starter wasn’t as flavourful as it could be however the fish was well cooked. The only thing that let down our experience slightly (hence 4 star and not 5) was that shortly after 9:30pm we got the sense that the staff were looking to shut soon as it wasn’t as busy as one might expect on a Saturday night. Luckily we were finished however if we had booked later this could have been an issue.

Nice place, was expecting more than they delivered. Bland food, quite possibly one of the worst Indian meals I have had. No return for us I’m afraid.

Having seen the reviews of this place we couldn't wait to visit and is a 45 minute drive, we don't mind for a good quality scran though! However the inside was dated and a bit scruffy in places, the area where the loos are was quite dysmal! Staff weren't the approachable and spent a lot of time walking around looking for something to do. There were long waits on our previous visits despite the restaurant being quiet. The food was quite bland and average compared to other Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants that we have visited. Again, I don't mind paying for a good quality meal, but prices were high for a pretty standard meal. Our visit was before the renovation so I hope it's looking more updated and modern

1 hour 30 wait in the restaurant for takeaway. If your too busy don’t take orders and be greedy

Eat here quite regularly as can’t deny the foods lovely however haven’t been for a while as it’s extremely expensive in comparison to other similar restaurants but when they advertised NHS discount me and partner decided to go for a treat after she’d had a hard weekend working only for man at till to to say they don’t accept it even though our waiter said they do and it’s advertised on Facebook. Incredibly unprofessional, would also like to highlight its extremely important to check your bill here as has been known for some extra pounds to slip on the bill ‘accidentally’

This is a lovely Indian restaurant with good food and great service. I visited for the first time this week and really enjoyed it. Staff were welcoming and friendly and very attentive. The service was speedy and professional. The menu was comprehensive with lots of menu specials but also the more typical options that you'd expect to see on a menu for an Indian restaurant. The restaurant itself was modern and smartly decorated. Overall a very pleasant restaurant experience and would recommend to anyone who is visiting the local area

Outstanding. Food was amazing. Great place.

I have been to the other restaurants in the Elephant group many times but never to Nellie. The layout inside of it is fantastic. A nice pre-table seating area. The restaurant part has lovely decor. Had poppadoms with the chutney tray first of all. The lime pickle was a disappointment on it though. For mains I had the south Indian garlic curry with lamb. I had this at babar elephant a few months ago which was different to this. Both versions are exceptional. The lamb was so tender and fell apart. I did ask for a garlic and chilli naan however it came with cheese. The booking system the waiter used mustn't have not picked up no cheese. However as i never had a naan with cheese it was a new thing and I was pleasantly surprised. All in all a fantastic meal, will be back soon to try the vindaloo.

We visited Nellies yesterday, party of 15 for our 40th wedding anniversary Staff went out of their way, especially as 2 of our party were 30 mins late due to motorway traffic. Food was excellent everyone had something different and throughly enjoyed their choice We've visited before and will definitely be back Thank you to all the staff for a memorable occasion

Wonderful for great food and atmosphere! I had the most amazing night with my friends. The food was fabulous ! The best Indian cuisine I have ever had. But along side that the staff were very accommodating and attentive and also very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed the food that much I did not take any photos. With this I will be back again next week. Such a great night thank you x

Delicious fresh food excellent welcoming service the Nellie was recently refurbished it looks great highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Booked a table for four to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. From the minute we arrived the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. As soon as we sat down the waitress took our drinks order and asked if we would like the chutney and dips with poppadoms whilst we perused the menu.Drinks and dips arrived very promptly. The menu is very comprehensive and it is very easy to keep picking lots of extras. The portions at this restaurant are large anyway and you might just regret ordering so much food ! All our meals were absolutely delicious and what we couldn’t eat we took home with us. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and very very friendly. We had mentioned that the meal was to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and after we had finished they presented her with a nice slice of chocolate cake complete with candle. It was a lovely gesture which she really appreciated. All in all a great night out. Superb food, excellent service and polite and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Gorgeous food, gorgeous staff, gorgeous ambience, sensible prices - never had a better Indian meal. Congratulations to all of you for re-opening and making things better than before.

Food was admittedly great, other than the tandoori rice being a complete rip off. £7.50 for a small bowl of pilau rice.

Very good Indian. Service a little slow but didn’t mind too much.

Mine and my parents favourite place to eat! We go here often! 😍😍 Staff always very welcoming, management lovely and always Very helpful. Wouldn't go anywhere else Chicken tikka is my fav!!

Flawless quality and service. Not the broadest menu for choices but everything they serve is immaculate. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Went last night in a party of 16 absolutely amazing service and lovely food - highly recommended

Top quality food and great service. Newly refurbished and great atmosphere

Amazing place, great good and staff

Lovely restaurant. Been a good few years since we've been but will definitely be going back soon. Food was exceptional. All in party chose different and none were disappointed. Would highly recommend.

Very nice. Good quality meat used in the dishes. Great service and atmosphere.

I visit my daughter at least once a month and we always try and eat somewhere different eat time. She knows I love Indian food, but also knows I'm fussy as I'm used to the real thing as I have previously worked in India, in Chennai. So a lot of English Indian food is disappointing as it is is too tailored to the English view of Indian food. Not this time! Absolutely amazing food, really authentic flavours. Had poppadoms whilst we pondered what to order and the pickles and chutneys had a good mix of flavours. The portions were generous and we left with full bellies. The staff were attentive and helpful, without being overbearing. 100% will visit again

We are at the grand opening of Nellie’s . They have layed on a banquet and all you pay for is the drinks, how amazing is that. The service and food is beyond exceptional. This restaurant remains to be the best Indian restaurant for miles and miles around. It is certainly worth a drive to even if you aren’t local. The food is consistently fabulous. Thank you and all the best for the future we will certainly be returning again and again and again 👍🏼

Absolutely delicious food, fully enjoyed it. When I asked for the bill I was told to pay at entrance bar which was a bit chaotic but otherwise fantastic

Nellie Ticks all the Boxs for me. And certainly l will be going back to Nellie for a Meal.

My favourite indian restaurant near Southport. Sadly closed at the moment due to flood damage. Looking forward to the re-opening.

Lovely restaurant but sadly out of action for a bit for repairs after a local flood. Please open again soon

Really nice food, nice staff, chilled atmosphere. Would recommend

Business trip as usual. Restaurant was really busy for a Tuesday evening. Front of house were attentive. Ordered the usual and wasn’t disappointed. The Chana with Aloo was nice (green chilli added) The Tandoori Mix was pleasant too. The Chapatis were a bit dry. Overall I did enjoy my dinner at Nellie.

Gorgeous food, friendly attentive staff. I'll be back!

Saturday 13/05/23 myself and my family came to Nellies as we had been told it was nice so we booked for an 18.30 table on arrival we where seated in the lounge within 5 minutes we where seated at our table the service was fantastic drinks. first then ordered our food that’s when the recommendations became a reality the food was fantastic I myself had south Asian chilli and garlic with lamb with kasmeia rice not to hot very nice meal throughout service fantastic food fantastic then we asked could we sit in the lounge to finish our drinks no problem all the family are looking forward to going back and the bill was not over the top for 5 people Thank You to all the staff for making a fantastic evening

Food was good apart from the piece of what looked like wood in the lime pickle I told the waiter who shrugged and said it was from a mango stone not pleasant to chew on though!! We were constantly asked if we needed more drinks to the point it got annoying. When the bill arrived we were shocked to have been charged £9 for 2 lime and soda and £4.50 for a coke!! We questioned this and were told "That's the price" we would hesitate before returning.

The selection available is excellent and my meal was perfect, all of the staff are friendly and helpful and the service was A1. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Plenty of car parking available too.

Wow what a restaurant. The food was amazing the staff are very friendly and helpful with picking what meal to order. I would advise to book as it fills up really quickly.

Lovely Indian restaurant not far from the canal. Different choices to the norm but the usual is also available well worth a visit

Had my first visit to Nellie after a long time and it was Superb and we only live around the corner. All been renovated and it looks so much better than previous a much nicer decor and ambience and feels more cosy. Great Service very friendly and helpful and the menu was superb. Cobra on draught served in the nicest glass ever. My wife and i shared a starter and had poppidoms and then i had the lamb madras with mushroom rice and garlic naam and my wife had the butter chicken and it was all wonderful. The restaurant was very busy so well done to all at Nellie and we look forward to our return which will be soon.

Brilliant place for family and friends, best Indian restaurant for miles, always 6 happy family members everytime we go

Absolutely our favourite place to come as a family on special birthdays. Tonight was wonderful, love the food. My children adore the chicken tikka. All the staff are true gentleman. Can't thankyou enough for such a wonderful experience. See you next time.

I've been coming here for a number of years and find it's starting to lack what other Indian restaurants have. Service was poor in my eyes, we had a table of 5. The guy serving was leaning from one side of the table and threw the knifes and forks down rather than walking around and placing next to you. Felt pestered on drinks, have a pint and they are asking if you want more. Food was ok, nothing special but do find ots gone very expensive. I understand all prices have gone up but felt very expensive for wjat we had and the quality. Would I come back, not for a long time. There are so much better for the same money if not less. Service for me is a big thing and it didn't match expectations or the price tag. 5/10 for me.

Fantastic Indian food. Excellent service and very friendly staff! 😋😁🤩

We think ‘curry’ … we think ‘Nellie’. There is no better place to come. We’ve been coming here for years and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else for an Indian feast. The service is always exemplary, the food always to die for. Why go anywhere else?

The food is so delicious. I'll definitely be going back!

Brilliant Visited with family for a midweek birthday treat. Driven past umpteen times and finally decided to call in, so glad we did, nice décor and welcoming staff. Each one of us said it was just superb, I went for the King Prawn Balti Massala which was awesome. We will be sure to come back again very soon

Outstanding service from the staff and enjoyable Indian food. Certainly recommend Nellie's.

Brilliant food...attentive staff....go the extra mile.....

OMG.......been coming to Nellie's fir a few months mostly takeaways but occasional dine in.....always have the mutton and potato not because the other food is poor because this dish in my opinion is excellent and truly authentic. I had the same tonight but ordered a Madras sauce......off the scale....not in terms of heat but the mixture a d blend of spices...warm, smoky , a triumph of flavour. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favour and give this place a visit before you have to book three weeks in advance. Neil

Food was really nice but went pretty early on a Saturday teatime(ish). Just with my two young children and seemed to wait forever for a drink. Staff were attentive but need to back off. I’m spending time with my kids so I don’t want random men making small talk we both obviously don’t want. When it came to paying the bill there was a bit on confusion. Not sure if you pay at the reception if they bring the bill as after literally 20 mins after asking I got the kids ready as I was now fed up and before I could even leave the area to go to reception and pay the bill there was about 6 staff started lingering about. Not sure if they thought I was going to do a runner, if so bring the bloody bill out. It’s Saturday night and I’ve got 2 children and asked 20 mins ago. Another 10 minute wait at the reception/bar to pay. New customers walking in with no manners (approx 50+). Tbh I wouldn’t go again and prob wouldn’t recommend either but the food was nice and decor was ok.

Food brilliant as always, Chicken Chat starter was lovely and the main meals were all perfect. Best Naans i’ve had for a long time will definitely return!

Excellent Indian take away and restaurant would recommend.

We've been here a lot over the years and each time, even with the different names it's had, the staff have been great and the food brilliant.

The guy was fab, asked us what we liked, told him my husband preferred Chinese, he recommended the perfect dish for him! Lamb for me traditional curry they eat at honey with mum! Perfect! Highly recommended! Can't wait to go again!

Could not fault the place the food was special best I've had in years I also enjoyed a sneaky pint of Cobra xxxx

Fantastic food and friendly service. A great hidden gem.

Arrived at restaurant for a family meal at 7pm , sat down in lounge and after 10 minutes asked if we could order drinks! I remarked to the waiter it was uncomfortably cold , we were then asked if we would like to move into the restaurant as it should be warmer in there , unfortunately it wasn’t as the radiators were off , then sat in the cold until 7.20 for our starters to arrive, we didn’t bother with sweet and I mentioned the lack of heat and length wait for food when paying the bill and nobody seemed to give a monkey’s, pity as the food when it did arrive wasn’t to bad, we won’t be returning as there are better options in Birkdale and Lord st.

One of the coldest nights of the year. It was so cold inside the restaurant too. We waited for pre drinks, and we waited over one hour for food. The food was okay when it it eventually arrived to six cold and hungry diners. The waiters just kept there heads down and were not friendly or welcoming. Seemed to be very busy with `take-aways`. (Please, concentrate on the diner). Charged for a side dish that never arrived. It was all very disappointing, we had heard only good things of `Nellies` I shall keep to Birkdale Village and Lord street for my next Indian treat.

Just had our 1st visit to the restaurant and it certainly won't be the last...fab food ...fab surroundings fab staff

Went with work friends. All the staff were excellent. The food when it arrived was excellent. The decor is beautiful with a fantasic atmosphere. All in our group said it was some of the best service and food we’d had in a long time. I highly recommend you try for your self you will not be disappointed. Many thanks to the Nellie at Scarisbrick, the manager and staff for a great evening, we are very grateful.

The restaurant is beautiful, staff are super friendly , attentive and welcoming , the food is absolutely delicious I’m always recommending to friends and family!

Absolutely amazing food. Wonderful and attentive staff. Very clean. Always accommodating. By far the best Indian for food, atmosphere and decor.

Our group of 8 family ate here last night for a 50 th birthday celebration, amazing service, felt really welcomed and have never tasted such good Indian food ! It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere inside, we will definitely go again !

Wasn't impressed with waiter service, no attention to what we were ordering, wine spilt on table by the waiter, no apology or reimbursement òffered and at £20 + per bottle ...not impressed. Then after meal we wanted to sit and chat in the lounge area, after spending £300, were pressured into leaving as some staff had to travel back home to Oldham!!! Not the customers problem. First impressions not good, a great evening spoiled by staff wanting to get home at 9.30!!!!

Outstanding but expensive Indian cuisine. It was a mistake to go on New year's eve. It took nearly three hours to get our main course. It was clear they had accepted far too many take out orders and this had a knock on effect for us dining in. Staff were friendly, but could do nothing to speed up the process. For a couple it was £120 excluding tip! I doubt we'll return. Shame really as its a lovely building with some of the best Indian food I've eaten.

I’d been really looking forward to my first visit to Nellie but was disappointed. Entrance/Lounge area was a mess, menus and beer mats strewn on the floor and was cold. Couches have also seen better days, not a good first impression. Nobody came to take our drinks order as promised. After being seated and our orders taken, we felt bombarded by over attentive staff. After being disturbed 5 times within 5 minutes, by various staff, I had to ask them to please leave us alone! The food took a long time to arrive and we had to chase it up. My partner went to the loo and commented that they were a bit of a mess also. On leaving the gents a member of staff asked if he’d used the hand drier because most men come out wiping their wet hand on their trousers. He thinks it was an attempt at a joke but just plain weird. I’ve given 3 stars because we enjoyed the food but sorry Nellie, that will be our first and last visit.

Everything was just lovely. Great welcome, we had a great table ion a busy night and the service was fantastic. Special shout to the Old Man, Luson, Sal. The food was as good as possible and all in all a wonderful dining experience. We will be back again soon. Very highly recommended

I have eaten in the most rated indian Restaurants in the North West including those in Manchester....Trust me these guys know how to cook.....the mutton and potatoes are sublime.....travel as far as you want but give this a visit ........

Very polite staff good sense of humour was very busy however service was fast and efficient. Food beautiful

A well deserved award for you guys, wonderful, as always, meal tonight. Everything exceptional as always. Will be back again and again.

Absolutely amazing place with fabulous food . Well worth visiting

Brilliant service, brilliant food, lovely surroundings. Would highly recommend.

Other than the nanny bread which were disappointing it was 5 stars.

We had such a lovely meal. Atmosphere was lovely. Staff really friendly.

Lovely restaurant.exceptional food.lovely staff

Excellent food, poor service. The staff were rude and unattentive but the food was very good. Had to wait 15 minutes for a table even though we'd booked, during the wait wasn't offered a drink until we were taken to our table.

The Bengal Handi Lamb Special was outstanding! The Peshwari Naan and the the mushroom pilau top quality. (Just a small side note guys - when you ask on the online booking form if coming to have a meal with you is for a special occasion,...

First time visiting Nellie. Lovely food, nice space to eat in and the service really was excellent. Highly recommended

Food is the same level as a poot takeaway Service slow and no attention to detail, wrong food brought to the table Very expensive for what it was

Amazing food and friendly staff, nice bar area to sit before and after the meal. Will definitely be going back!

This was mine and my partners second time visiting. This has got got be one of the best Indian restaurants we have visited. The food was delicious, all the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant has a lovely vibe and we will be...

Looks nice but I think the prices are way out of range for an Indian restaurant. I'll give it 12 months and none of us will be eating out with the energy price hikes that are coming. Not on ur nellie.

Absolutely loved nellie's Restaurant. (1st time for me ) our party of 7 meals looked great and tasted great too, the staff could'nt do enough for us, thankyou... I would certainly make nellie's the place to go if you want great Indian food and service..

Superb food great friendly staff

The best Indian In west Lancashire! Food is exceptional and also if you order online and collect for takeout you get a 20% discount off the price! Superb value.

Nellie's indian Restaurant is amazing and the Chef at Nellie's will cook your meal to your liking and the staff are fabulous and will do anything for you.and always happy to help.xx

Fantastic place clean and modern the food was fantastic cant believe never tried before passed it so many times.Well done to all the staff for brilliant restaurant.

Staff are really helpful and efficient. They are happy to make the dishes milder if you need them to. Food is really tasty.

Always had great food here, both sitting down and taking away. Particularly enjoyed the Patelvis night a few years back. Great times!

Absolutely delicious food and staff are very good 😊. Will definitely be going again soon 😃‼️

Staff were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. We had a last minute extra guest which we hadn't booked for but they accommodated us easily and without fuss. The ladies enjoyed their cocktails and our appetisers and starters came quickly and we're very nicely flavoured and...

Visit here regularly and never fails to impress. Stunning food yet again, highly recommend it. Service is 5 star and will be back again soon.

Just visited Nellie’s. Haven’t been in a while and found lovely interior transformation. Friendly attentive staff, nothing too much trouble. Better than that, the food was delicious, especially the seafood sizzler starter.

A few years since last visited and food still exce5
