Rice N Three in Bolton

Set menu per day but excellent food. Where the locals eat.

not happy with my order at all, you used shish kebab chicken instead of normal chicken for chicken and chips the chips are all manky and greasy defo wont be ordering from here again

As usual. Great food. Speedy delivery and piping hot. Thanks. 5 stars off me

Let's rewind a little. I worked in Bolton from 1998 to 2003 and used this absolute gem almost daily during those 5 years. It looks very unassuming, and these are the kind of places that be amazing. I always had their daily revolving vegetarian curry options with the most amazing rice and freshly cooked chapati. These are curries you would not usually come across aside some rival smaller establishments in Manchester and Bradford. For sheer taste and quality and taking into account the price, it has to be my best ever eatery. I have lived up in Glasgow since 2004 (please open one up here!) and whenever I'm down in the north-west on business or travelling back home to Surrey I will make a detour - trust me, it is that good. I've often popped into the Deane branch and taken a big doggy bag back up the motorway with me.

I had the lamb and potato curry. It was delicious. First time trying it and again only praise for this place. Thanks

Perfect food. I would definitely recommend. I’m so happy they are now offering delivery

the food tasted ok, however the food was warm and not hot which was a bit concerned as made us worry it wasn't freshly prepared. The portions weren't equal. There seemed to be more lamb nirali then keema mince. I struggled to find any mince.

10 times better in store. delivery wasnt great . bread hardened and meat not as good. top place though but needs be in store

Tate was good value for money very very poor

Great food it's always a good curry at Rice n 3

Food was beautiful , felt really ful , great food options at great prices 👍🏽

Rice N Three make really delicious food and food is always fresh, Thank you Rice N Three

Okay so I don’t remember the name of what I got but I hope you can tell from the picture, the food is not so good but good, £7, good thing is they have a basin where you can wash your hands after eating, the atmosphere is good too

Guys I can't believe I am having to wait a week for your Nehari, honestly I havnt tasted one as good as yours for 20yrs, the first time I had it, on a date with my now wife the original Nawab Rochdale Rd, Collyhurst, Manchester. I fell in love with Nehari, and everywhere I try it, it never had the consistency and taste of yours. Keep it up guys see you Saturday mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. And the rice and 3 was delicious too.

Absolutely shocking food, would stay well away 2nd time they have got my order wrong after waiting over a hour , so just had to make my own tea. Orderd a chicken kebab and got some yellow sausage thing with bits of veg in it..

The best place to eat a kebab sandwich or a curry at lunchtime. Highly recommend the food here. Reasonably priced quick and quality food. Keep up the good work guys and I’ll be back for the nihari on Saturday. 😋

One of THE BEST indian food avaialable in Manchester ! Must try and imagine in the cold freezing October / November really enjoyed Rice n Three a few times......simply SIMPLE COMFORTABLE MEAL ..... too good.

Very nice nihari and fresh food daily Awesome Staff Would Highly Recommend

Best food in Bolton and by some distance. Love the place and the people 👍🏻

Last time I came here was 10 years ago and it’s not changed. Food excellent quality - hot, tasty, fresh and served quickly. Does what it says on the tin! Cheers guys, I’ll definitely be back sooner than in 10 years this time!

The food is really nice, plus they offer deliveries through services like Uber eats.

Honestly the stars are just for the food. The staff who run the show seem to be arrogant and will even ignore you. Thats what I saw, others may disagree.

I prefer the town centre Branch... Not Value for ££££ this one...

Food is quite good compared to the prices. The management is very bad as there were nearly 3/4 staff people hanging on the front counter and still they were dealing with one person at the time letting people queuing up for no reason. One person in particular behind the till, was being abusing towards their own staff working in their kitchen as he shouted rudely on them several times. I don’t tolerate such unprofessional behaviour in a workplace, and won’t go back no matter the cheap prices.

Got the Rice & 3, daal, potato & veg, was ok, nothing special about it & can't beat Kebanas on cheetham hill rd, Manchester, now there rice & three no matter what you get is delicious & a generous portion complete with spicy onion salad & mixed yogurt & imli sauce. Won't be returning in a hurry, sorry guys

Food was very good price is ok and i buy water is no issue . I saw one review for patel if you go out side to eat You can spend money if you don’t have money to buy water stay home please not bring to relagion for small things

Absolutely brilliant 💖👍Top food💖💖

Absolutely delicious food at this place! Biryanis are 10/10 Nihari is out of this world! Daal gosht, karai chicken 🔥🔥 Not had a bad dish to date and ive been hooked since being introduced to the place a month ago!

Very poor food. Over-priced ! We got the dregs full of ghee. Over spiced no taste. Rude service that only accepts cash payment (HMRC anyone?); red flags all round. Have respect for yourself and go elsewhere.

Great meal very tasty and the staff are very friendly

Local home cooked dishes, different dishes on menu daily and the quality does not disappoint. Reasonable potion size and cheap

The smaller of the rice n three spots in Bolton but the food is as excellent as always. Was very busy, but not surprised, people love good food!!!

Poor service, bought nihari but it just look only thick gravy nothing inside feel wasted my money

With 5 pieces of it .got a takeaway .unfortunately camel 1 is not open at this time, try it they serve you food food with try it then you know the generosity and meaning of barkat

Average place, generally friendly staff. However the food isn’t as tasty as expected.

The owners Son is very disrespectful, I’ll mannered, food is good but very kanjoos, & small portions. Stop counting the onions, have a big heart.

Mixed sandwich absolutely mint. Nice place friendly staff, food spot on and fresh.

Beautiful food so tasty and very fresh travel from bury to come here luv it😋😋👍👍

Three veg curries & rice for just over £5. Very tasty. Enjoyed it very much. Menu changes daily. Want to return on other days to try the other vegetarian dishes too!

Delicious simple food. Family restaurant. Neat and clean restaurant with welcoming staff. There are good sitting arrangements. I liked the food as it had less oil and not layers of oil. Mango lassi was yum. Kababs etc Everything was tasty. Must visit. Loved the food 😋

Normally it's brilliant, but called just before closing and it just wasn't their normal good food.

Fabulous fast service and the tastiest food! Always a go to and they never dissapoint.

Perfect everything. Great food, tasty and never disappointed. Highly recommended to all. Only problem is the place should be bigger as is always super busy and not enough seating.

Rice n theee serve the best home cooked food with a different menu everyday. Rice n Three has been around since I was a child and the food has been fantastic everytime and served hot and fresh. The staff are amazing, super friendly and the food is also generous in portions and affordable. They are very accommodating and have plenty of seating as well as a sink for hand-wash which is always extremely handy. Whenever I ask for a small portion for my children they are always considerate and give the rice size portion in the right sized plate. I recommend rice and three for your home feel favourite comfort food. A popular choice for all and I highly recommend to all. A

Nice lamb curry and rice lovely

Visited here for the first time today after spotting it while passing. Clean place, friendly polite service and good food. I had rice n three, two meat one veg and a garlic naan. All tasted good and fresh. Good sized portion, no complaints. I brought takeaway home for Mrs and she loved it too as did kids who helped her polish it off. I would recommend to anyone that wants to try authentic home cooked curry. Definitely be calling in again to try some of the other dishes.

Best curry in Bolton... if not the world! So good, I always get the 3 veg curries, so full of flavor!

Great food with good portions and reasonable prices.

I've had plenty of rice n three in manchester and my go too is usually chapati corner in cheetham Hill!! This gaff beats then all..fantastic flavours

Very nice tasty food at great prices,clean place with very friendly staff, highly recommend!

Home cooked food like mums kitchen with great service and good prices

Best in town their kebabs Currys anything you want but the biryani delicious

Food is delicious & tasty. Service is excellent always polite & friendly.

Not been to the Deane branch before and it's great. Very friendly staff and it reminds me of the old branch in the town centre before they moved. I'll probably pop up there again rather than the main site.

Best place for authentic Indian curry

My absolute favourite place for home cooked curries. Super friendly, great value and delicious set dishes every day of the week. Highly recommend you give them a try

Superb service, beautiful quality food and 5* staff. Will be returning.

Grate food and very clean ,friendly staff

Absolutely terrible! We ordered yesterday (Saturday): 1 chicken biryani, 1 large chicken curry with 2 chapatis for £17, definitely overpriced. A small chicken curry cost £4.50 and large £9.00?? The large is not even double the size of a small size! It was just slightly bigger than the small but definitely not worth it, we felt robbed. The chicken curry was heavily watered down and you can actually see the water settle at the top whilst the rest of curry and ingredients sank down. The chicken biryani didn't have any chicken in there so another rip off. Also we thought have some later, so left curry to cool, partially covered - returned 2 hours later and it actually stank really bad! like it went off meaning the ingredients they used were of very poor quality and it seemed the chicken they used went off! I would not go here again, extremely disappointed. The guy serving wasn't friendly although the guy mopping was! In my honest opinion we really felt this was a complete waste of time and money. Avoid!

I would not go here again, extremely disappointed. The guy serving wasn't friendly although the guy mopping was! You can go elsewhere and get same sized portions of food for cheaper and substantially much better quality. They are very quick to defend themselves and never admit to any fault. In my honest opinion we really felt this was a complete waste of time and money. Avoid!

Best place to get a quick lunch. Great variety. Love that they have a different menu every day. Also very charitable people. One of my favourites for sure! Great veggie choices!

Guys if you want delicious 😋food must visit this restaurant I promise nice food

Fresh tasty food at really reasonable prices. The menu changes everyday and the owners are so friendly and efficient

I had good food here specially lamb was so tender and tasty. The service was very good. I will be back.

The sick woman counted how many pieces of meat she was actually putting in , and the food was gone off . 3 pieces of meat in a lamb biryani and it's gone off stink

Women on counter always gives small portions! If she has slightly given you more she takes it back out of the tray! Don’t like that one bit especially when the prices have gone up since last few months!

I went for my dinner today for the first time brilliant service very polite staff and the food was amazing, very tasty.

Wish these guys were open earlier and longer. Their kebab roll tastes so fresh. It was the only thing I could eat during extreme nausea in my pregnancy.

Great place to eat. Open kitchen and food cooked in front of you. Large variety of options

Great service. Basic seating and plane decor. They have a sink and soap by the counter so you can wash your hands properly before eating. Kebabs, naan and salad were all fresh and delicious. Only makes 3 curries a day (hence the name) but they were excellent. Very nice home cooked style takeaway food. Highly recommended.

Food was amazing I did enjoy the experience and the meal smells so Good enjoy it's every much ❤️😍❤️you visit the restaurant is very clean and customer service was amazing I will give them in customer service is 10/10. we did enjoy ourselves 😊😘 and was lovely and I even managed to bring couples takeaway I know so yeah enjoyyy.I will recommend to anyone because you would enjoy the experience 😉 amazing the food 👌👌👌

Amazing!!!! Always welcoming, well priced and restaurant quality. Never ever has it disappointed

The currys from here are fresh made by top chefs

Best Indian/ Pakistani food this side of Lahore! Really tasty every time. Fresh and homemade. Kind staff and amazing value.

Nice food all cook in front of shop will be going back

Always beautiful food, lovely staff, well priced, couldn't ask for anything more

Small place , clean ,bright, friendly curtius staff great food , great value for money. Really recommend.

Proper no frills good clean food

It has amazing food variety and it is all halall. Great place to enjoy a meal

Love this place, fantastic flavourful food, great selection.

Great food at low prices. The staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic food, friendly service. Lamb byriani Thursday is the best for me, amazing tender pieces of lamb, by far the best byriani I've ever had!

Always brilliant, same set menu for every day which sounds constrictive but it's far from that. Been eating here for about 6 years. Thursday is lamb biryani day, that's the best day to go eat.

Great food great people! I would 100% recommend their meals to anyone else!

This restaurant is a little gold mine of taste. Food here is beautiful and authentic. It is like home cooked food rather than from a main restaurant and so it is just beautiful . Just had rice and 3 meat curries and every mouthful was a symphony and amazing. Raining outside but in here food is made with love and will bring a smile to the most greyest day. Highly recommend.

5 star rating for this jewel of a place. It is simple and just perfect for a no fuss great home cooked food at an unbelievable place. Staff are very welcoming, helpful and informed. I love this place and have been here so many times including the one in Town Centre. Great variety of dishes. Would definitely recommend the Lamp Chop Curry on a Tuesday. Always try to get down on a Tuesday if I am in Bolton for business. Most big name restaurants would charge 3-4 times as much and the food is still not as good. I cannot recommend this enough. Love it and will continue to be a regular.

We placed an order 45 minutes before arranging to pick up and went to collect our order. They had completely forgot to get the order ready although they had note of it. No apology offered, still the same glum attitude like they were doing us a favour shortening our lunch time, almost making us late for work. The previous day we ordered from Reel Chippy further up the road, they made a small error and forgot to put vinegar in one fish barm, as they had already packed it, we got given a new bottle of vinegar for free and a sincere apology for this small error. Now that's customer service. An apology by 'Rice n 3' would of gone a long way.

Nihari, Rice, Seekh Kebabs and Nan Bread for take out. Top notch.

We travelled to Bolton from Newcastle-under-Lyme and called in Rice N Three for a snack. The curries smelt delicious and the portions very generous. We chose 'mini' lamb kebab sandwich. They were freshly prepared for us and huge. I was expecting half the size. They were delicious, the staff friendly & efficient and the premises were spotlessly clean. I will be back for one of those delicious smelling curries!

After hearing great reviews I thought I’d give this a try after work being absolutely starving....I got some sort of kebab as they were closing shortly and didn’t have much left. I enjoyed the kebab, it was alright however an hour after eating it I started to feel dodgy and threw up after feeling perfectly fine all day. I’m not one to complain or write a bad review unless absolutely necessary, I’m really upset it made me be sick I’m not having to go to bed at 7:30pm and waste my evening as it’s made me ill. Really not happy and will not be returning, never has anywhere made me sick. It’s such a shame because I’d been meaning to try this place for awhile and the young lad behind the counter was really nice. Sorry, 1 star

Beautiful food for a really good price

Really is a hidden gem this place, the food is amazing. Its nothing too fancy inside but you can get a traditional curry and sit in for £3.60!! If you want a tasty curry then I can highly recommend it

Love the lamb biriyani on Thursday. Food is excellent quality and always fresh

excellent food and really good service

This place never ceases to amaze me. You can guarantee fresh food every time. Items are freshly made on the premises everyday. I usually have the chicken kebab 'sandwich' - which is really two chicken sheesh kebabs in freshly baked naan with lots of fresh salad. A very healthy option for anyone watching wanting to loose weight. Staff are very friendly. The place is always busy. we try to go just before 12 so we miss the lunch time crowd - and we eat upstairs so we can talk openly and make as much noise as we want (till other customers come upstairs off course).With all the new eateries opening in Bolton Rice n Three is the one place that never fails to deliver. We're spoilt for choice in Bolton but Rice n Three is the food outlet everyone always go back to as it caters for everyone. And the prices are moderate as well.A good place to have a quick light lunch in your lunch hour - no waiting long for food to arrive.

Quick service, good food for a quick bite to eat. Pleasant staff and clean place.

Always amazing food and service

Best home cook food you will ever taste Such lovely staff. Excellent value for money

freshly made and consistent quality, good variety, you can chose 3 different curries,Excellant value for money. Generous very tasty portions with very friendly staff.

I have lived in England for 16yrs. I come from Durban, South Africa and have REALLY missed proper Indian Curry. At Rice n Three I have finally found what I believe to be the BEST Indian Curry in England! I go to Bolton for work and can't wait to go back so I can visit Rice n Three again.
