Papa's American Diner in Blackburn with Darwen

Wow 🤩 What an amazing curry, 100% the best curry in Darwen. Big shout out to the owners. This place is next level 👌🏾🔥🔥 on a personal note i would like to thank the owners for their recommendation on what to get. Definitely will be visiting again

Very good food, thanks to all. No alcohol But soft drinks available

Never had such a flavoursome curry, the onion bhajis were sublime (no pun intended)

The food was gorgeous and the staff were really friendly, will come back again

Went for the midweek special offer with 3 friends, which is great value for money I must add! I had lamb rogan josh, and there was hardly any lamb in it. Although it tasted fantastic, I didn't complain as £13 for a starter, main and sundries it's a bargain. The best garlic nan I've had for a while.

I've eaten in and had numerous takeaways and I've got to say they make the best curries ever the staff are so lovely and helpful I definitely recommend you all to go you won't be disappointed

Great portions great price lovely restaurant great to see Suki back doing what he does well communicating top marks guys you've done well you'll definitely be seeing me again 👍👍👍👍👍

I will start by saying my family eat out regular and it really does pain me to give a bad review , out of the many reviews we have given very few are not positive , we chose this location as it scored highly on Google reviews , we generally trust the Google review scoring and get a good meal from a highly rated place. Not this time ! Went here with a party of 8 . The starters was excellent but the currys ,ordered a samber was brought dansak didn't taste like either no lemon or pineapple just garlic , our daughter was quite upset and left to my surprise they still billed me for it even though the dish was left uneaten . Rogan josh again was very garlic like with little flavour tasted nothing like a rogan probably the wrong dish and was left uneaten .the ceylon however was quite good the milkshakes was also good . The bill was reasonable but taking money for the wrong dishes is not acceptable. Hope in future the owner will learn the value of customer satisfaction.

Absolutely Incredible. Big soft chapattis, Vindaloo/Madras/Chicken Tikka/Rogan Josh all amazing. I’ve had a lot of curries in 20 years and this is king. Please don’t change chefs/recipe 😁

What a beautiful place, the food is also delicious. The staff know exactly what they are doing and I can tell the owner has experience in running businesses from before. Keep it up guys this place is a gem. I forgot to take pics of the food because I was really hungry. But next time I’m in there I will certainly take some to show people what is in offer here

Great food at a fairly reasonable price. If I could nitpick anything it could do with a little more meat in the curries but besides that it was outstanding

Get a curry delivered nearly every Saturday. Can't fault it . The taste is awesome. Loads of flavour and don't skimp on portions.

Simply the best! My go to for Takeaway and now I have finally visited the restaurant. Fab service, warm atmosphere. Delicious and fresh food!

Incredible food, incredible service. See you every week!

Bland tasting food. Tiny amount of meat in my curry.

The food was delicious, the service was perfect . It was just cold in there there was electric heaters going but it was still cold ,hopefully night time they will have central heating 😀

Great food,fresh salad dressings...not the usual in indian resturants.No beef on menu so proper Indian.

Best takeaway I've had....ever! Food was amazingly good. Price of takeaway did not reflect quality. A must have!

Delicious food, great location, and good service.

Food was great. It was a bit cold in the restaurant.

I booked a table for myself and a friend on an unusually quiet Friday night. As there were just the 2 of us, we had some poppadoms for starters and a portion of onion bahji. The bahji's were cooked to perfection. Lovely and soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, complimented with some of the remaining sauces from the selection that we had with the poppadoms. For the main, we ordered a chicken tikka masala but asked for it to be spiced up. It was no problem to add some heat, and it was spiced perfectly, giving just the right amount of heat and flavour. Needless to say, we polished off the lot...! The only thing this restaurant doesn't have yet is an alcohol licence, but it was no problem. My friend and I have no problems not drinking with our meals, so it didn't really bother us. Thanks for a great meal, and prices were also good. See you again!!

Curries from here never disappoint! Loved everything I’ve had so far; especially the chicken tikka masala! Rice is very good too! New favourite Indian in Darwen :)

Have enjoyed dining in. Delicious food, attentive staff, lovely decor and very good value.

Beautiful food Chicken done just as I like it melts In mouth early bird special well worth it and the rest was reasonably priced

Excellent food, can't wait for next time!

Good food, great menu selection, good sized portions at a reasonable price. The drinks menu doesn't include alcohol which makes the dining experience less distracting.

After reading reviews I thought I would order a takeaway so glad I did food was delicious piping hot on arrival and great value for money will definitely be ordering from here in future

In a town that's stacked with Indian restaurants ,I consider this to be the best ♡

The best curry I've ever had, honestly.

Absolutely amazing food! Now my new favourite Indian restaurant. We had the mixed platter for starters with poppadoms (of course, it's the law) then we had Chicken Tikka Masala with Mushroom Rice and chips, I also had a Chapatti. My friends had the garlic naan and said it was really nice. It was so so good. The staff were lovely and had a laugh with us. We can't wait to return! I notice people whining about them not serving alcohol... if you can't go out for a beautiful meal without it, you're doing it wrong.

Highly recommend Food was superb alongside great service Extremely helpful and accommodating for vegan options

5 stars all day long. Food was amazing, staff were super friendly, really generous portion sizes (brought my leftovers home, and even better is I can freeze it for a tea later in the week). We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely meal

Lovely Indian restaurant. The food was amazing, staff are so friendly. Great service. We ordered the tawa for 4 people, and you get a lot too. Definitely recommend 👌

Thought we'd give em a go but requested as mild as possible with no chillies in my garlic chicken and it was so hot it was inedible. Onion Bahji and Pakora were nice as was the garlic bread but as I couldn't eat my main course I can't give any more than 3 stars. I'll be back at my regular Darwen takeaway/restaurant, where they actually act on the requests given, from now on.

First time visiting tonight and we had an amazing meal here. Service is fantastic with the friendliest staff. Always lovely to catch up with Sukhi and Naj is such a lovely man. Thanks so much for a great meal.

Food was absolutely amazing. And a fantastic price too.

Amazing food service was excellent highly recommended

Had a fantastic meal at this lovely,new restaurant.Very friendly staff,nothing was too much trouble.We will definitely be back very soon.Thankyou.

Had a lovely meal here with my friend. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. Everywhere was immaculately clean and well presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

Ordered takeaway for here and oh my god, that was one of THE best curries I have ever eaten in my entire life, and I’ve been to India 4 times. We had the chicken tikka garlic chilli and a chicken tikka masala and they were both absolutely delicious, packed with flavour. The tandoori chicken was succulent and juicy & the naan, chapatti and rice were spot on. Delivery driver was super friendly and had a chat about my car with me. 10/10 food and 10/10 customer service, would definitely recommend to anyone. Also delivery was 5-10 minutes earlier than expected which was good we were very hungry!

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time earlier this evening. The food was incredible and the service was really good. Max and Naj were very friendly and ensured we had a perfect evening.

First time getting a takeaway tonight from here and certainly won't be the last! The food was absolutely delicious, we could not fault it at all. Very friendly and lovely staff! Highly recommend and can't wait to stop by the restaurant!

Gave these a try tonight (takeaway), very pleased with the food (chicken tikka masala was fantastic) very well priced and plenty of choice on the takeaway menu. We will be back :)

Very pleasant surroundings and friendly staff,,, we had the early bird meal, chicken pakora followed by South Indian garlic chilli chicken tikka Balti , with a garlic naan,,, £12.95, with extra chips each,, and a glass of coke,, was worth every penny and was delicious,,, thank you

Enjoyable experience at Mughal dine with a cosy atmosphere and amazing service

Went for a family meal, amazing food and service! Very handsome and attentive waiters, the food was very well priced and delicious. Definitely will be back.

First time trying here. Really enjoyed it. Staff was really nice couldn't do enough for us. Curry was lovely will definitely be returning. Thanks for lovely evening

What a breath of fresh air this restaurant is lots of competition in this area but the food the setting the service this restaurant will definitely compete with others the food was amazing and nothing was to much for the staff it will definitely be on my revisit and thank you 🙏 everyone in the Mughal Dine good luck in the future from Neil & Sylvia “ Have say also ok the early bird menu not up and running yet but the offer of 50% off the list menu is a great 👍 £24 starter of popadoms and dips two mains drinks a bargain tonight had a Tawa it was beautiful this place is on the up as far as the food and service you’ve just got to give it a go 👍👍

Best curry I have had in months! I had really gone off the usual spots we go to so thought we would give these guys a go and wasn't disappointed! Will be trying them again soon 👌

Would definitely recommend to family and friends. The food was exceptional along with the waiting staff and service. I felt very welcomed as soon as I walked in.

The food is amazing. The staff were very attentive and hospitable. Would definitely recommend, and will return.

2nd takeaway and it gets better everytime! Absolutely love this place it’s our new takeaway 🤩 food is delicious and piping hot when delivered.

Got a takeaway delivered this evening. Delivered in 30 minutes from order , quicker than they said. I had Chicken tikka madras , couple garlic chapatti, other half had Korma and rice. Was very nice will be back 🔥👍

Absolutely brilliant the food is amazing. I'll definitely be returning. Thank you

Advertising 50% off Monday to Friday this week with a massive sign outside but charged full price. Prawn puri quite sickly and no salad or mint sauce some shell on a couple of prawns. Pathia special mix taste ok lamb extremely chewy and no king prawns for £2.00 extra over chicken and lamb. Keema naan really tasty

Great food and loads of it good value for the amount of food

Wonderfull food will definitely order again

Received a texted message saying it on was on its way at 6:40 didn't arrive until 19.39 and it was freezing we have had to warm it up.

1st time I've tried this place because I wanted buffalo wings and I am not disappointed. Easily the best buffalo wings I've ever eaten

First time ordering from here and I’m impressed! The food arrived early and was hot. I got the buffalo wings - which were amazing, really tasty and spicy. The ribs were cooked perfectly and the Mac n cheese was the best I’ve had. Will definitely be coming back here again!

Great food, good portion sizes will definitely be ordering again

Shocking, stone cold and then told we would have to wait up to another hour for replacement food. The manager is the chef, I mean get more staff! I waited 15minutes and had no call back as promised and his excuse was, I've been busy. Just appalling service and when I said we wouldn't be happy to wait uo to an hour after already waiting for 1 hiir for the cold food, he didn't even seem arsed that he was losing an order. Never going here again and we were looking forward to trying them out. Awful, awful service.

Would be really good if arrived a little warmer

The positives; best chicken wings I've ever had! Delicious sauces. Also, excellent customer service. Really helpful and friendly. The not-great; food was late and really cold despite trays being hot. I'm 100% sure that the food is amazing when it's hot as, aside from the mac n cheese, it was tasty anyway. Will try again but would rather eat in.

Burnt chicken burger, cold fries , ribs dry instead of saucy. Real shame as enjoyed last time. But there’s too much competition in darwen for a bad order I’m afraid!!!!

Incredible food, hot and filling, perfect on a miserable day! We will definitely be ordering here again in future! Thank you!!

45mins late, chicken wings are cold, ice cream has melted.

Ordered a buttermilk chicken burger it was burnt and my chips were cold. I rang the takeaway and the customer service was excellent, they sent me out a beef burger which was very peppery and more chips.

Food looked nice however there wasn’t any salt… the chicken thighs tasted like burnt coal

Yummy. 1st time ordering. Not disappointed. Will be using again.

Brilliant food, well happy with it. Massive portions too. Defo coming back over the next couple of weeks

Very cold, chips where like cold micro chips ,burnt ends where poor and had to cook further at home and the brisket beans was more fat and heinz beans! They also didn’t send my drink. Would not recommend to anyone unless you like cold cardboard

Great , tasty food ordered too much as I didn’t realise the portions would be that big. Everything was spot on will definately be ordering again . Thank you for a great meal

Ordered Burnt Ends, Chilli Fries and the Choc and Peanut Butter Pie! Delicious!

Food took a while to arrive but it was really good when it did. The only criticism is it could have been hotter but I suppose at that time on a Friday night they’re going to be pretty busy. Would definitely order again but probably earlier or on a quieter night to get hot food.

Food was great! Ended up with a spare box of fries (think they came with either a burger or wings - think this could be made clearer when ordering ☺️) chocolate cake is sooooo good and even the vanilla ice cream was yummy! Will definitely be ordering again!

Really good food. Great portions and tasty!!!

The food was slightly late but I was called to inform me of this (excellent customer service). The food was awesome and plentiful and really well packaged (The burger box is a stroke of genius). Ten thumbs up!

Huge portions, freshly cooked, delivered quickly and piping hot. I’d really recommend the Bacon Bacon Burger, the Mac&Cheese balls and the prawns. We’ll be ordering again soon, thanks!

Came really early which wss no bad thing... food was great. Definitely going again

The food was amazing had the burnt ends and chilli fries. It was so good can't believe I've not been before. I will definitely be back alot.

Excellent staff, really helpful when we called to ask questions about the menu. The food was dispatched quickly and arrived slap-bang in the middle of the estimated time slot. The food wasn’t massively hot when it arrived and the burnt ends were slightly dry, but still tasted excellent. Would definitely order again!

Food was freezing cold, wings were over cooked and truffle fries just tasted like normal ones.

Nutty clucker burger I ordered came with onion rings and bacon instead of peanut butter and crispy onions??? Consistently get orders wrong from this place

Both of our meals included flatbreads and both was forgotten so my meal was just chicken and chips but was too hungry to complain.

Sausage was rubbery,chicken was very dry,the bread that came with the chicken was stale and our chips were cold. Papas usually do great but tonight it wasn’t too good

Great service however I must highlight that they randomly added peanuts to the Bbq sauce which was not requested. Luckily none of us are allergic. There was also no difference between the chicken wings in thr platter compared to the chicken wings which were supposed to have some kind of honey crunch. Some clarity there would be great. Otherwise good value for money and would recommend to others.

Arrived late, chips were cold, juiced looked brown like it had been sitting for a while

Cannot fault the food from here. Really tasty, well presented and huge portions. Top place and top food

Food arrived 2 hour after ordering. Food stale and cold. Completely wrong burger!!!! Never ordering again

Arrived 45 minutes late and the food was stone cold.

Ice cream arrived melted, cookie bomb looked like it had exploded, very VERY unimpressed. Usually never have problems

There was a bit which wasn’t cooked but it was fine apart from that I think, very nice burger though

Really good quality and delicious food! Will definitely order from here again! 😊

We ordered cookie 9 inch as a treat it came one burnt and one all broken looked like left overs wasn't warm either Wouldn’t recommend at all !

Absolutely awful service. Burger was wrong. Food was freezing and the wrong milkshakes

Wasn’t expecting too much, but wow what a find, especially in Darwen! Food was absolutely top notch & so was the service. I’m a little picky when it comes to fast food.. not really a fan of burgers etc but really impressed with quality on offer. Definitely we’ ll be back. THANKYOU

Thank you for a brilliant night 12 in the party all the food came at the same time hot and tasty after seeing the reviews I was a little worried but there was no need thank you again

I can't even discribe how shocking this place is. We ordered a basic meal for 2 at 7.45. I rang at 9.15 asking where the food was at it had been an hour and half since we ordered the food. I was told by the staff that they are really sorry and is on the way to us now. I then called again at 9.30 and they said that it is still out for delivery. At 10.00 when they are due to close, they said that they are really sorry a d that it has just left them now. So not only was it 2.30hr late when I received my food with no shots given by the staff, but they lied to me for nearly an hour saying it is on its way, when it hadn't even been cooked yet. To add salt to the wound, when we received the order, it was wrong. Not only did they have 2.30hrs to make the food correctly. They lied to me and didn't give a care. Never again. Wouldn't touch with a F*****g barge pole.

We used to be regulars at this place when Chris was the chief ,always great food in a friendly atmosphere nothing to much trouble ,any way we thought we would give it a try again after all how bad can it be ? The menu has been changed much less choice , so we ordered myself nachos with everything on and 4 chicken wings and a bottle of beer ( they stoped doing draft ) , my wife ordered milkshake and Mac and cheese .so not to taxing an order especially as there was only us in the restaurant . I was given my bottle of beer right away 30 minutes later the milk shake turned up ,waiting ,waiting then they came over to say sorry about the wait for the food have a drink on us , still only us in the restaurant with 2 staff , Things happen and if the food is worth the wait that’s fine ,how ever this was not the case tasteless food with cheap ingredients now seams to be the case ,when the staff are the same number as the customers and you have to wait and hr to eat and the food is poor something is very wrong ,having read the latest reviews this place won’t be open much longer 5 start to 0 star totally unbelievable
