Panshi in Chorley

This was myself and my wife's first visit but the others in my party, six of us in all had been there before so my expectations were high. We were greeted on entry by a friendly waiter and shown immediately to our table where drinks orders were taken. The drinks arrived soon and we then ordered our food. All the courses were served promptly and each was served by several waiters so we were all served at the same time. The food was outstanding and the service was friendly and efficient. Also for the high quality of the food the bill was very reasonable. I have eaten or had takeaways from many Indians but this beats the lot!

It was my sisters 21st and the service was incredible. Waiters cracking jokes the whole time with my whole family. The service was a 10/10 and I would completely recommend this Indian restaurant. Food was incredible and quick service. This was the best Indian restaurant I have ever had.

Really nice food and had excellent service. Wide options to chose from and very friendly staff members.

Food was delicious and the set meal for two a good deal. Staff were great too, opened a hour earlier to fit our booking request. Will definitely be going again. Andy

I ordered a takeaway at 4pm and when I went to pick it up at 430 there was pot noodle carton a Diet Coke half drunk on the table where customers sit the staff didn’t really communicate I said my name then my order came The food was very poor better than a ready meal but no where near a curry I expect from a restaurant I will not be back

Fabulous meal Great choice Reasonable price for food and drinks Friendly and efficient staff Would recommend

Panshi’s food is great - always tasty and fresh - the staff, always busy, are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I’ve been going regularly for well over a year (even Christmas Day 2022) and have always been impressed with the food and the service. Great stuff.

As part of a group of friends who have been eating out together for over 25 years, Panshi was one restaurant we had never tried. We booked the table for 6 over the phone and were greeted as soon as we walked through he door by a waiter I vaguely remembered (more later). He took our drinks order, then the manager, who introduced himself later as Affy, took our food order. Poppadoms and the chutney trays arrived (usual Bangladeshi fare but very fresh) more drinks, then the main courses ... five different mains and they were very different which cannot be said for a lot of Indian restaurants. Excellent quality of food. Affy then mentioned that the first waiter remembered me from another local Indian restaurant and that's when my memory kicked in ...he had only gone and grown a beard !! Thoroughly recommend Panshi for quality of welcome, food and service - we will be going again soon.

The food here is amazing and the staff are so friendly - we have been several times with family and friends and it is always fantastic! We recently went with a large party of 17 and the food and service was absolutely faultless. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Family take away Friday night. Ordered via phone & ready spot on time. I had Tamarina, soft lamb in Tamarin sauce. Very tasty & a bit different from the norm. Keema naan & saag aloo on the side, all good. Others in the party all enjoyed their dishes & not a scrap of food left.

First time here won't be last Staff were great and chatty When I go some where for the first time I leave my meal choice to the waiter and what they brought out was excellent Thanks Peter and Sharon

The food here was amazing, everything came out piping hot, in good time and the service was second to none. Especially loved the garlic Naan and the chilli cheese naan. Well worth a visit, couldn’t fault the food or service.

We 'found' Panshi last year and have been 4 or 5 times now...each time we have thoroughly enjoyed the food..the atmosphere and the banter with the friendly staff...we are starting to regard it as our local Indian restaurant. . Last Friday was no exception...all fab as on previous occasions .... .....except.... service was much faster than usual....and we gradually came to realise why...when tables were being set for a group of 20 AND a group of 10...practically taking_ over the restaurant As it turned out,the group of 10 was like a whole football team of men....and I think the 20 were also going to be part of the same group To be fair...we were not far off leaving anyway....but being politely asked to vacate our table and finish our drinks in the waiting area was a bit disappointing...especially after spending £65. Surely we are all valuable customers?

Only 4 pieces of chicken in my sizzler that was over £12 apart from that it was very good. Noticed that the portions were dwindling recently and they have missed items on takeaways regularly for us. Too late though when you have got home. They were 10 out of 10 for a long time but standards slipping.

Do not often do Reviews. But I feel this place need a mention the Food and cleaness of the place was second to none, but what impressed me the most how Lovley the Staff was. Very Kind with Mum who has some much to put up with personally. It has made a Diffrence from a NHS Key worker to our Sociial Key worker.

Busy Saturday night, large party arrived at the same time as our little 4- did not make a difference- service was brilliant, food hot and absolutely delicious. Think this has to be up there with my most favourite curry ever, and will definitely be returning....

Absolutely awesome curry place this - been a couple of times, more recently taking my mother for her birthday. Really great authentic experience. Love the glass window to the kitchen, showing off how clean it is, and just adds to the vibe, it's small, but...

I took a large group of friends to the restaurant the menu was excellent, service was brilliant and the food was amazing - so helpful with making a large booking too!

Had an amazing time last night at Panshi Was recommended by friends and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious. One of the best curries I have ever had. Staff very friendly but not intrusive and a generally fabulous dining out experience.

Was here on Friday evening to celebrate a birthday in the family. We all have different tastes when it comes to Indian food so what’s great for one isn’t always the same for the rest of the family- in other words it’s hard to find...

The food was absolutely gorgeous. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future!

My first takeaway from the Panshi this evening. I had a lamb rogan josh which was very nice, but what really impressed me was how tender the meat was. Most places I have this dish, the lamb can be over cooked and chewy. My Partner...

Excellent food and service once again at Panshi. Easy to eat vegan here and good advice about the food from the server. This is my favourite Indian restaurant, we are never disappointed. Shame to see it was quiet all evening - the new lock-down rules...

@PanshiCroston false advertising!! Your website and printed menus advertise wine and dine yet you refused us the offer tonight saying you took it off the menu over 12 months ago ... I’m sure you could afford a new set of menus if you genuinely weren’t...

I was recommended to try here by someone who takes curry very seriously so my expectations were pretty high. I wasn’t disappointed! I asked the friendly waiter for a recommendation and it was spot on, not too spicy and really flavourful (and not at all...

First visit since lockdown ended. Delicious food, full of flavour and cooked to our liking. Friendly staff and spotlessly clean restaurant with a great menu. Give it a go you won't be disappointed.

Have driven past this place numerous times and never thought to visit but what Little gem hidden away in Croston, one of the best curries I have ever eaten

Visited Panshi with my family last night and I have got to say the food, service everything was amazing and of top quality! Definitely going to be visiting again very soon. I would definitely recommend this place to eat at.

Excellent service and food, very friendly staff.Had a munch after a long day and was very impressed.The balti chicken was out of this world.The starters cooked very delicate and naan breads nice and soft. Would definitely reccomend and would definitely revisit time and time again....

Amazing service and very nice food. All of the waiters are really friendly. I would highly recommend to friends and family!

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and amazing service! Would definitely recommend. By far one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to! Keep up the good work!

Booked a table this Saturday.Great food and good service- altogether a lovely experience. We will definitely be back to sample more from the menu. Thank you!

This was our first time at Panshi...excellent service from start to finish...very helpful staff...and the food was excellent...we will definitely go back...thank you!

Initially I was a little dubious as to the nature of some dishes, so we ordered a good variety, curries, vegetables, breads. All in all a superb meal for the three people, served by attentive friendly waiters, and at a very reasonable price.

Food was to an excellent standard, service was responsive, staff friendly, and COVID measures seemed to be respected. Was nice to be able to see in to the kitchen, which is quite rare in an Indian restaurant.

Excellent food and great service. Brilliant value as well. Would definitely recommend. The menu choice is really good and also great quality.

Second time at Panshi’s and the second time I’ve come away a very happy customer. Everything, from the food to the service, to the ambience is bang on.I was especially impressed by the social distancing rules put in place and the staff were very accommodating with everyone.Definitely one of the best Asian restaurants in the North West and I eat out A LOT!Can’t wait to come back.

After reading some of the excellent reviews for Panshi, I decided that we would give it a try for a birthday takeaway. The staff were very helpful when ordering our food and very friendly and welcoming when I collected our order. The food was piping hot and absolutely excellent, the chicken Karahi was superb. Everybody enjoyed it and I look forward to eating in the restaurant next time. Highly recommended!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend Panshi at Croston - 6 of us - all good - really can’t go wrong here

We had an absolutely fantastic meal, regarding COVID-19 we felt completely safe from start to finish with the restaurant having more than 2m social distancing measures in place and all staff wearing face masks. I can’t recommend the restaurant, food and staff highly enough, very well done

This was our first meal out in months, it was fantastic, the staff have put safety measures in place so felt at ease. The staff were great very friendly fab service. The food was amazing. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

ordered a take away from here last night and it was excellent!!! Delicious and tasty food, highly recommend!

We have been visiting Panshi since our first visit to Croston in May of 2013. Immediately impressed with the food -- traditional Bangla, with lots of individual flair, and memorable specialities. We moved here four years ago -- and since then, we've had many wonderful meals there, and made many happy memories with family and friends. But Panshi (and by that I mean, of course, the lovely gentlemen who run it) have shown their true colours during these last months -- doing delicious, welcome takeaways, and once a week, home deliveries to vulnerable Croston residents -- My husband and I miss being able to go and enjoy a meal IN Panshi, but that day will come, and until then, thank you so much for enabling us to enjoy your wonderful food. (Did I mention that the korma is the nicest I've ever tasted, anywhere? And you always gets the spices in my husband's madras JUST RIGHT!!) Thank you!

Went here with a family group of seven. Service was good and they were more than happy to make thing not on the menu which was good. Mixed starter was very nice and my Mehti Gosht ( not on the menu) was very tasty. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food.

Panshi is located on the main road (Town Road) in Croston village, free parking nearby and 3 min stroll from Croston’s St Micheals Church, parts of which date back to the Norman era, worth a visit and 5 min walk from the Train Station.I was a little sceptical eating at the Panshi due to the terrible reviews during 2019 but after speaking to the new welcoming owner, I soon realised that these were down to the previous owner and transition period.But I needn’t have worried, service was attentive, prompt, excellent. They adjusted the spices to accommodate my higher spice and Chili threshold without compromising the tasty flavors. The food was just WOW !Lamb so tender I mistook it for the Chicken dish I also ordered. The Nan bread was wasn't doughy but fluffy and light. As someone who eats globally this one is up there with the best. Difficult to fault unless one is being really pedantic and unreasonable. Looking forward to returning!

First time visiting this restaurant, would highly recommend this restaurant. We are staying on the Royal Umpire which is just a short drive away, £4 in a taxi. Fantastic service by Affy and his team. The starters and the mains that we ordered were 11/10. They all came out piping hot and tasted lovely and fresh. We will definitely return to dine in or even grab a takeaway.

Amazing food, massive portions and great value for money. Wonderful, attentive service and lovely waiters, will definitely be back!

Opening night of the restaurant tonight and we had an excellent banquet for two meal. It’s not surprising that many people turn up for a takeaway and numerous people did while we ate out meal. The food could not have been any better. The staff were attentive, friendly and polite. The restaurant started to fill up so the ambience was lovely. Highly recommended.

Had an outstanding takeaway meal. That good, I called them up to thank them. Use the Panshi , service and quality is excellent.

Fantastic food and service from Panshi in Croston. We placed a sizeable order. Great service helping choose from such a great menu. The food was just delicious. Piping hot and very generous portions. Everyone loved the food and We will certainly be back.Thank you.

Before the lockdown we ate here often. Amazing service and delicious food. Often ask the chef to make us something not on the menu and this is never a problem.Clean restaurant, friendly, attentive staff.During the lockdown we have been ordering takeaways. Good has been amazing. Piping hot and on time. Thank you.

Food was delicious, no issues at all. Arrived exactly when asked! Staff couldn't be more helpful with our sizable order. A place to return to for sure!

Had a surprisingly good takeaway, as I didn’t realise that they did takeaways. The food was delicious and the service was without fault. We will definitely be going back very soon.

Came on New Year’s Eve plus in February - had take aways since the lockdown!Small intimate restaurant, with clean bright decor.The staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive who will happily offer recommendations on dishes.A great menu choice with delicious food and they will happily make dishes based on likes/ dislikes and dietary requirements and even when busy the quality of the food is not compromised.A nice relaxed atmosphere and I have never felt rushed to leave the table.A great place to eat and would highly recommend

The food is beautiful and the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We have had several take outs now and each one has been lovely. The lamb chops are heavenly - so tender. This is a must visit restaurant/take away - you will not be disappointed.

Offer NHS discount for excellent takeaway food-a real treat at times like this. Really enjoyed our meal-with complimentary dishes thrown in too. Thank you Panschi staff. See you very soon.

Four of us visited on Friday - we had booked on-line in advance. It was quite busy but the staff were friendly and the service was excellent. We do have another indian restaurant that we regularly go to and this was our first visit here. All our meals were delicious - tasty, flavoursome and fresh. Portion size was about right - not too big to have a curry each. I do agree with another reviewer about the wine choice but only had two individual glasses - maybe next time we'll try a bottle! We were also pleased with prices. This may now be our favourite local indian restaurant and we will definately be visiting again!

We came here Friday night for a meal! Left it last minute to book a table but they squeezed us in. Absolutely love India food and I have to say this is by far the best restaurant i been to and the best naan bread I have ever had! We will definitely be returning in the very near future! Thank you to all the staff you were all very accommodating and on the ball. Thank you for a lovely meal

First time at Panshi and they did not dissapoint.lovely flavoursome Indian food. Staff very good also. Will definatley return

An excellent restaurant Interior very well presented. The structure of the menu offers a good range of food. Well priced. The bad point is wine list. Service is excellent.

Enjoyed a lovely meal on Saturday night, the food was excellent and the staff very efficient and attentive, would recommend.

Went here to celebrates my wife birthday, Affi and his team catered for 52 of us (yes 52 of us) without having a set menu....

As a confirmed curry head, visited Panshi for the first time tonight. A warm welcome, friendly attentive staff. Food served promptly, hot (temp) tasted fantastic. Price competitive. Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit, will definitely call in again.

First ever visit for a takeaway just after Christmas. 5 days later I had to go back for more. Great quality and tasty food, good value and friendly staff. Can’t wait for another when I’m back in February.

We chose to visit because of a previous meal at a large gathering at the beginning of the year. The food was of a high standard, as was the service. A drinks order was forgotten but acknowledged and rectified. A pleasant, smaller place to eat.

I took 25 guys for a christmas curry. The staff were excellent, food amazing and a friendly and warm atmosphere

There are approximately 22 Indian style restaurants in or around the Chorley area and this one should be at the top or near the top of your list. The restaurant itself is small by many standards seating approximately 30-40 covers. It is bright and clean, with the kitchen on view via a glass window to the whole restaurant. We had eaten here several years ago and to be honest weren’t impressed by the standard of food or service at the time.

Over the past several years I've had quite a few bad meals at the Panshi so I would never return, but my friend who lives in Croston said it has new management and thinks it might be ok now. I am used to going to the Elephant just 2 miles away which I have eaten dozens of times never ever had a bad meal and would recommend. My friend and I thought we would give the Panshi another chance. I rang the Panshi earlier in the evening just to check out wether they served propper chip's not just the usual cheap french fries they used to serve, the person I spoked to said oh no we only serve home made chips not french fries, so I thought the meal would be ok with home made chips. So we ordered our meal which unfortunately served the cheapest

A excellent midweek meal, very friendly staff, first class food at a reasonable price. The Kingfisher beer is very good and the wine is at a reasonable price. We will be back again very soon.

We ordered a large take away during the week and were told it would be ready in 40 minutes.

Great food, friendly service, pleasant surroundings. Very often food quality can be variable, especially, I have found, at Indian Restaurants. That's not the case here, consistently great food, flavoursome with just the right amount of spice! The meal deal is excellent value, but you need to inform your server when ordering, if you choose this option. We done there regularly and can highly recommend Panshi!

We enjoyed a lovely takeaway - very good value, quick service and lovely food. Restaurant was full when we collected our food - a good sign for a local restaurant!
