We attended here for a big family banquet. We ordered several tawa dishes. I was not too keen on the chicken tikka, the rest of the food went down well. The staff were attentive, the service was reasonably speedy. It was a good family get together.

Been here a few times now and food is always consistently very good. The nan and curry are always piping hot and fresh. The atmosphere cosy and service decent.

Staff go above and beyond! We visited Roomali for a colleague’s 40th birthday .. We were a party of 22 women . The manager requested we provide him with a list of pre orders , for ease of orders and preparations, which we provided the previous day prior to our visit and paid up front . Table seating was good and food was handed out promptly , piping hot , fresh and delicious! The manager was very attentive and ensured we were all happy and made a few jokes! He also provided few jugs of free soft drinks which was kind gesture. A very pleasant visit.

Have been getting takeaways from Roomali for many years now and have never been disappointed! Fantastic food every time! We have called in to collect food in the past and always been made to feel really welcome. The staff who used to deliver to us have always been lovely too. We now have to use Just Eat for takeaways and the food Id always delivered well and is still hot!

We called in on Sunday evening. We hadn't booked but we're warmly welcomed at the door and swiftly shown to our table. Water and glasses were quickly brought to our table. We chose a curry combo and an extra starter to share between 2 of us. The food is amazing. Chicken bhuna was very tasty. The starters and the naan bread were delicious. The staff were very attentive without imposing. It was our fourth visit and certainly won't be our last. Thank you

Visited with family and friends on 14/05/2022. Very bad experience. No air conditioner upstairs, no ventilation. Coke was served “hot” rather then cold or room temp. Poor coordination, poor quality of service. Food was 3 out of 5. Staff very rude and very bad behavior. Strongly NOT recommend at all. Please avoid and choose something else. Don’t waste your money and time here. Dr. Mir

Visited on 14/05/2022 with family and friends (8 adults, 5 teenagers and 6 kids). Reserved a table in advance for 8:00 pm. Greeted at entrance with a smile but then things unfolded thereafter. If I knew what was following that smile, I would have made a U turn. Upstairs table was ell arranges however the hall upstairs was full of smoke from the food. No ventilation. Very suffocating. Especially on a relatively warm day (outside temperature 19 degrees) I was expecting at least some sort of ventilation or fan or air conditioner. Ceiling air conditioner /fan was off and despite me asking for fan and air conditioner staff told me that they have opened windows in the other side of the hall which did not make any difference to our side of the hall. Within one minute Of arrival I was asked if my order was ready. I had to request the guy to come back in 5 min as I had to review the menu. Food was average at best. We ordered tawa and chicken nambali. Tea was decent. At the time of payment downstairs, I had a word with the owner of the restaurant who asked how was the experience and I was honest and told him what I wrote above. He was displeased with my honest criticism. He said it’s your opinion. I told him that not turning AC is not a good sign as u were trying to save money in electricity bill while kids were feeling suffocated upstairs. I felt that there was an instruction given to the staff as not to turn AC or fan on. Any ways I feel it’s not the good value of money. I will not return to this restaurant. However you make your own call. Best wishes Imran

Had a table booked with my Muslim friends for their Iftar. Turned up with many others to find they weren't open. Turns out they not only couldn't be bothered opening, they couldn't even be bothered to do the decent thing and let the people who they had let book tables know. My friends had been fasting all day and to turn up expecting to eat and not be able to get in. Luckily we eventually found somewhere with amazing food and such friendly service. A good restaurant isn't just about the food... its also about the service... this place doesn't deserve customers

To start with chicken nambali is a good starter to have along with chicken cheese kebab and the dahi puri was a good choice too. For the mains the lamb biryani is a very good dish to get and also the butter chicken is a good one too. Overall this is my new favourite Indian restaurant to go too in Blackburn.

I went this evening with my friend for my 21st birthday for a nice evening to eat some good food before ending the night, however we found that most of the staff had a recurring theme of being ill-mannered, constantly finding them commenting sly obscenity’s to each other seeing as we both looked really young and were overall just constantly rude, completely putting us off our food just seeing how they kept making remarks. I had heard many good things about this restaurant and i must say the food tasted good, i have no complaints but the customer service was atrocious and just for this reason will never be returning and will be putting a more formal complaint in with management. Furthermore, i will definitely be recommending my friends and family EVERY OTHER restaurant, but Roomali Blackburn.Completely ruined a nice birthday and left us both feeling severely disheartened.

Roomali @ The Woodlands was a absolute delight, Booked a table and on arrival we were greeted with a smile. the food was prompt and were very accommodating to our requirements. Chicken Nimbali and the Prawn Tampura starters were a absolute treat, The Lamb Karahi and Paya were divine. Mocktails went down well. i will definitely come again. The family were really happy with the choice of this restaurant. The family feel created in this place is second to non, The staff were fantastic and left a really good impression. Thank you .

They forgot about our booking. They were rude and insulting to my all female party. Do not go without a male figure. Abusive to my elderly mother and sister. We asked for ground floor seating owing to my mother's disability. They made us go up a spiral staircase. Food was drenched in chilli sauce so mouth was on fire. Do not go. Owner was abusive and rude to my all female family. Never go. It was a birthday booking. Avoid

The food here was inadequate and revolting. I would not come here again, the customer service was unacceptable and the owner was extremely rude. I would advise people to not visit this place unless they want awful food and appaling customer service. We came as a party of 15 and had made a booking 2 weeks in advance for my birthday. On arrival our table was given away, despite arriving on time. They did not try to make up for this mistake and we were seated upstairs instead. If they had asked us to eat our starters upstairs and brought us down when the table was free it would have atleast partially made up for this error. I requested in advance to be seated downstairs with partitions as a member of the party is disabled and it is dangerous for her to go up a winding staircase. We ordered our food and eventually received the few starters we had ordered. The chicken nimbali was not made well, when we complained we were rudely informed that it was made that way when they typically aren't and were not offered an apology. We had come at 8pm and were served the starters at 9:40pm. We were still waiting for our mains over 2 hours later. We had to leave the restaurant after 10pm as we enquired about the food several times and were ignored. Other customers were served before us. We complained to the owner and he shouted at us, this was meant to be a special birthday dinner for me, and it was ruined by roomali. After the owner shouted at me it made me burst into tears at the treatment they gave me and my family, I have never been treated so rudely and inadequatly. He tried to gaslight us and say we were rude and treated the servers horribly. We were just frustrated with the poor service and were voicing our thoughts about it. I felt threatened by the manager of the restaurant and treated aggressively, as a young woman I was made to feel vulnerable and not safe but the manager.We were seated upstairs where the decor was not up to standard and felt like we were seated at the back of the restaurant as a punishment.

Before coming to this establishment, I frequented their other resturant (in Blackburn centre somewhere) before relocation and I remembered the food being good so we decided to come and give the new place a once over! We had a table booked which we were seated to immediately upon arrival. Waitress took our drink orders but took an age to get to us. We also notice couple of other tables reserved for large groups but no one sat with them. When the drinks came we were ready to order starters and mains. However once orders were taken, the large reserved tables began filling up. Now 45mins later still waiting for our food, we enquired what was going on and why it was taking so long to get some food. The waiter advised that the table that’s just arrived in one and half hours late (coming from London) and their food is ready and ours was delayed. Apparently this restaurant has one main chef and some other cooks, total number of people cooking in the kitchen is unknown. Anyways, the food finally arrived after what seemed like long haul flight and yes it was good as the other restaurant before relocating. Overall, the food was tasty, not oily and had decent amount of heat. The portion sizes could have been bigger. The rotis were like wraps and the naans were thick and doughy. The restaurant is Covid safe and the restrooms were clean and tidy. Would I go again. Yes. But I would make sure they don’t have any big bookings! LolOh. One of the hosts Asif, did come and apologise for the delay in food and service etc which was nice and offered us a little discount for the inconvenience.

Believe me when I say this, I consider myself a connoisseur when it comes to the perfect curry dish. Roomali certainly have perfected their curry's when it comes to flavour. With the addition of this new Curry Combo we just had to give it a gor £11.99 you get any curry from the main menu, rice, naan, chicken tikka starter, seekh kebabs, onion bhaji,a poppadoms, mango chutney, mint sauce and onion chutney. All presented in a neat selection tray which can be re-used by meal preppers. My curry choice was Chicken Karahi - Absolutely oozing with flavour!!! The wife chose Palak Chicken, again bursting with flavour! Naan's were lovely and soft, seekh kebabs packed with flavour and great texture. Onion bhajis went down a treat and finally, the poppadoms were perfectly crispy. Well worth every penny!!

Came here with my husband and 2 kids. We were told to use the hand sanitiser and seated very quickly. I have to say the service in Roomali compared to all the other places in Blackburn is on a much higher level, the waiters are friendly and professional and totally on it - you can tell they really want you to have a good meal. The food was very tasty - We went for the mixed grill and a curry. I would certainly recommend Roomali to others for a tasty meal with excellent service and ambience.

Not the first time we’ve been here and defo not going to be the last.Food is extremely flavoursome and each bite was really tasty. A problem for a lot of Indian restaurants is the lack of consistency but these guys need not worry, the food is always on point.Really good service, the staff and the atmosphere are both welcoming. I’d recommend the Achari Gosht, garlic naan and the roomali roti.

Booked a private booth, arrived on time. Booth was dirty, wallpaper peeling. I had to pick the mess up. Very slow service, was so hungry and the food wasn't hot when it arrived. Would say lukewarm, mohitos were a rip off. I could taste Rubicon mango with some mint leaves in it. Waiters got drinks wrong too. I wouldn't go back here at all. Waited nearly an hour for food and when I told them that at the counter, the waiter said "we've been busy".

We had a lovely meal, with deliciously-spiced curry and lovely veggie dishes. Three of our party were Indian, with one of them being an excellent cook - and even she was saying how good everyhting was! A wonderful menu to explore. And again, really nice, friendly staff.

Visited with work colleagues for a friends retirement. There was 20 odd of us so I thought the service would be slow, but credit to them plenty of staff serving and taking orders. Everyone's starters and meals all came at the same time. The restaurant was very busy upstairs and downstairs and every table was full which goes to show what lovely food it is. Excellent choice on the menu at reasonable prices. I had meat samosas and chicken khari with rice and nann bread, very tasty all of it I just found it tasted like it had more spices than previous khari but it was still very nice.

When you see a restaurant where the locals eat, and whit that I mean the locals with origin from Pakistan/India area, you know the food must be good. The restaurant itself doesn’t look much but it’s the food that is most important, right? And the food was absolutely wonderful.

We stayed in Blackburn to visit the Cathedral. We were struggling to find a good restaurant to have dinner in the town center but finally came to this restaurant by coincidence. Above all we love Indian food. There was a group of ladies when we entered and another family was just leaving. Other than that it was quiet. We were shown a table by the window. The staff were really very friendly and pleasant. We ordered the Roomali Tandoori Mix Masala that they recommended, smaller sized Lamb Jalfrezi and Palak Paneer with naan and pilau rice. The Tandoori Mix Masara with lamb, chicken and prawn was the first that we had tried but extremely good. It's helpful that you can choose either a small or large size for some dishes as we did. The medium hot Jalfrezi and Paneer dishes were also delicious. I usually enjoy a beer or wine with Indian, but alcoholic drinks are not offered here. It was a find for me to enjoy the dishes with sparkling water. Would certainly recommend.

Visited blackburn as an away fan to watch a football match and had seen the reviews for this restaurant before attending. Having located the restaurant down a quiet side street using the Sat nav on my phone I was treated a decent menu with some regular dishes as well.as speciality dishes. We were not disappointed with the meal however unfortunately couldn't enjoy an alcoholic drink as I don't believe they have license to serve alcohol. The staff were friendly and despite us being the only customers when we first arrived. Would definitely recommend for couples or families as a large family with young children arrived shortly before we left to see the football.

We also ended up putting the mains on there. As the waiter came to take the order he insisted that we give him the paper so he can just transcribe it onto his pad. We told him we are not yet sure about the mains but you can get the starters and the drinks first and not to place the order for mains yet!! For the mains, we had put down a regular chicken tikka. After starters, we decided to have a larger portion of the chicken tikka dish. Our waiter said this was not possible as he had already given our order to the chef even though we told him not to. Instead of coming with a solution, he started to argue with us and went to go get the manager. The manager also said that is it just the chicken tikka dish that’s an issue?? Yeah, we said that we want a large instead of a regular. He asked us to pay for our starters and leave??? We were shocked. This is not how you speak or behave to customers. All we asked for was a larger dish and we were thrown out... We had a large group with us, including an elderly, and we were forced to walk away still hungry.

We just popped in on the off chance as we were driving past. The food was very good, very clean restaurant but a could le if staff a bit rude. Would go again and give it another try.

Can’t believe we only discovered this place last week after recommendations by two friends. We had palak paneer and achar chicken with tandoori rotis and both dishes were delicious. We also asked for them to be mild to medium in chilli hotness. It’s also cheaper than another favourite place, Bukhara, so will definitely be visiting again soon. Service was good and pleasant surroundings.

We visited the restaurant on a Friday night. It is very clean and staff are very welcoming. Extensive menu which has plenty on there which we hadn’t tried before. There is no alcohol licence.

I visited Roomali on a nice Sunday evening and the experience we had was wonderful. We had the prawns and the mixed grill for starters which were beautiful. For the mains we ordered paya, chicken karahi, and lamb karahi which was perfect, excellent recommendations from the staff. The service was perfect after a busy day driving down from Dewsbury, can't recommend this place enough.

Been here many times and have always been complimentary of the ambience, attentive service and quality of food. The only reason of a 4 out of 5 is that the lamb chops within the mix grill was overdone and chewy. Other than that everything we ordered was .

Can not fault this restaurant. Food was perfect, asked for extra chillies and ginger separately which was willingly provided. Ended up staying for over 2 hours but staff did not rush us out.

We booked our table online for 6pm. We had the theatre at 7 and we were short on time so I sent the restaurant a pre-order. I got a call when the restaurant opened to confirm the details. We managed to arrive earlier than planned and they accommodated us and I heard the waiter ask the chef to start our order. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The waiters were chatty and asked about the theatre. The food was delicious. We got to the theatre on time thanks to Roomali. After the theatre, our car had been locked in the car park and we were going to be stranded for 45 minutes, we decided to go back to Roomali and they were really kind and let us stay in the restaurant until my husband came to collect us. We live in a bolton but will definitely be back again!!!! Thanks so much. Nicola and Tracy

Glad to see a restaurant sticking to what they're good at. The traditional food on the menu is really good. the Mocktails on offer were a good selection. I have a massive sweet tooth, it would have been nice to see some traditional desserts and masala chai on the menu too.

Visited with family today. They do a lovely Thaal which had a few different currieson it with chunky chips and an assortment of starters. Would recommend this place for small and large parties. You can eat downstairs on chairs and tables.... Or upstairs on cushions.... Good theme and atmosphere. The Tarka Dhaal is nice. But best to book a table before you go as some nights they are really busy. The staff are friendly and look after their customers very well. Enjoy ;)

usually when a group of ladies get together after a very long time, the main thing is how good the company is. it is a bonus when the food is on point.

Had a fantastic time with my friends celebrating my sisters birthday. Uncle Naeem was excellent as our main waiter. He looked after us really well. We really enjoyed the food we ordered 2 Roomali Tavas and lamb biryani and drinks. Everyone enjoyed the food and had a really good time. Will be coming again in the new year! :)

Visited here early on a Saturday evening before heading to a show, and whilst it was only about half-full when we arrived, it was soon packed with other theatre goers (being an easy walk from King George's Hall). The waiters were all very friendly and helpful, and service was quick considering how many people turned up at almost the same time.

Amazing food, lovely service and consistently good, at a great price too! We’ve tried different meals and loved everything we’ve had. We’ve only had delivery but each person that delivered has been great.

Tastiest Indian I've had in a long while and prepared really quickly for takeaway, just could have been a little warmer. Prices reasonable and friendly staff on collection. If I was from the area I'd definitely come back but we're only in the area on a short break.

Fabulous buffet for 30+ people! After visiting Thira several times and always having fantastic food and excellent service, today I had my birthday lunch buffet here and it was super! Highly recommend, thank you!
