Shandar Tandoori in Blackburn with Darwen

Best Karai Gosht in Town... Try the Maulana Style Karai Gosht if you dare!

THE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN THE WORLD. Travelling from Spain and around the around the world I can honestly say Shandaar has to be the best. If only I can find out the secret Karai recipe! Anyway this post is for the new Pina coladas they offer!!! WOW WOWW WOWW!!!! SUPER TASTY, BETTER THAN ANY BAR OR RESTAURANT. It was made with love and the cream and coconut and pineapple flavours really perfected!!!! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. ALL QUALITY AND FRESH ALWAYS. Thanks all workers and chefs for making this my second home!

Food was good,service was excellent,price was reasonable,cash and card taken without any problems,will visit again

Well deserved 5 ⭐️ No gimmicks, no fake reviews, all authentic, traditional and straight forward. You’ll also notice there is always a queue at this place for good reason.

Great food Great staff Great place

Best curries and chips in town, if u kno u kno.

Excellent food good value good price friendly

Best Asian take away I have tasted

Best place for dead food specially for Pakistani

Best place in Blackburn been coming here for over 20 years now

If you visit Blackburn, order the double kebab roll, lamb karahi and CHIPS!!!!

Teas always lovely along with the old school desi curry

Food was lovely, service was good aswell. The dining area is just a little cold.

Went here late Friday night after 12 , still open and happy to serve us. Good price for the food and was very good . There is no heirs and graces here, just sit down and get a nice curry. Recommended

Extremely slow service, they tell u 25 min for your food when actually you will be waiting almost 1 hour for your food

Excellent food, taste and flavours. Real authentic curry and accompaniments. Staff very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much.

Disgraceful charging £1.50 extra just for the hot option for curries. When I asked why it's extra because I've never heard of this charge anywhere before he went "Because it's extra because it's hot so we add chili" and said it in such a nasty tone that I should've cancelled the order then and there. What's wrong with them? Plus it's around a tenner each for a curry. Since when??

Proper ripped of Laakh dii lant assi bayiiiman loggan ty ask for dal gosht s7.5 L9.5 I sad larg plz & extra hot he sid 11.5 then Allah hu akber I said show me price failed What a good customer service with out eat have lovely feed back

BEST GINGER DESI TEA IN BLACKBURN

Been going here for over 30years, Best Keema ever. Been loads of places trying to get better but never came close.

Every friendly everything is cook fresh as you wait and very busy I recommend this

Excellent place to eat or take out. Friendly professional staff on hand at all times.

Awful customer service, we ordered chips and when we tasted it it was not fresh at all, tasted stale. When we complained, they are refusing to accept the chips weren’t fresh. Awful customer service. Do not recommend.

Wonderful place , I always enjoy going here. One of my favourite curry houses in Lancashire plus their naan is one of the best I have ever tasted

Dark & depressing place. I went with my wife to try this restaurant, nobody was there in the hall, we waited for staff for some time but nobody came. I walked to see anyone there and saw all of them busy talking in kitchen. They saw me but preferred to ignore me & continue their deep heart to heart conversation. We had to leave the place. There was no other customer and perhaps they didnt want anyone to come to their restaurant. We then ate At restaurant next to them and enjoyed their food (Jaan’s Restaurant)

The food is fantastic, prices are great. Authentic Pakistani food. Never had a bad meal or experience here.

Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere. So friendly. I’d recommend to anyone 🥰 we were visiting the area being From Manchester. excellent service by adil and food cooked fresh, I have eaten here a number of times and never been disappointed, can’t wait to go again

I have ordered from Shandhar for over 20 years at different addresses and its always been good so I will not go on a rant as when they get it right the food is spot on, but tonight and I want to give an honest review it took nearly 2 hours to be delivered at £6 delivery charge to Darwen, When it came I was handed a bag from a driver that could not care less he might as well as just opened his window of the car and chucked it in the garden and piped his horn, rung the restaurant and they was apologetic but not really bothered in honesty, I don't want my money back neither just disappointed in honesty but I gave them 3 stars as most of the time its very good in honesty

Lost the originality that it used to have. Such as the taste of food and also service too.

It was a nice food and good service.

when i was 3, my dad took me to the shop and i loved it 😍 been going every day since and im 63 now the food was very nice but sometimes its a bit too good because its almost got me in debt much thanks for this wonderful restaurant and the customer service is very good if i could give 10 stars i would

very good customer service tandoori is nice and not very pricey and not smelly like toes

I love this place my friend Cameroon suggested this place to me and it was absolutely lovely 😍😍😍 the kebab rolls are out of this world. The owners are sooo nice 🥰🥰👍 and I will definitely come back soon 😝😜🤪😛😛

If you are looking for a Dhabba style food like Lahore. This is the right place. It is a long wait after order placement always and that is because restaurant stays busy which is anyhow acceptable. So, place your order on phone, if to be picked up, well before time. Atmosphere is like you are sitting somewhere in Lahore and this is what I loved.

Bad service rubich in blackburn

Fantastic take away.. always value for money

Need to clean the tables….. Not suitable for families...... Worst food in blackburn….. Customer service terrible

Great service. Good portion size. We ordered one curry and it was enough for two of us.

Price is to high food is rubbish bad taste

We had walked into the shop ordered the food according to the menu that was given to us as we were going to pay the shop owner says that prices have been updated and you can only view them on the website so we had asked why we had been given the menu with old prices and the owner began to raise his voice and using vile language so we had left as I did not want my nephew to hear such language. DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!

Ordered Vegetable Samosas on the 08. 01.23 - the most inedible portion I have ever had, unfortunately had to go in the bin. Not sure how you can get vegetable samosas wrong but the numpties at SHANDAR did, chips were not to standard either.

The karahi ghosh was way dodgy. Please use lamb and not beef

Too much oil in the curry put me off

Best kebab roll been eating them since i was 7 now I'm 22 how years have gone by recipes still original i hope it stays like that

Very nice food as always Mashallah

One of the best dhaba style food, cheap and quality. Thier karak chai is a die for.

Update - Jan 2022 I did try some food but regrettably it didn’t live up to expectations. The lamb keema and chicken mix was tasty, well spiced and could easily be mistaken for home cooked food. However the achari chicken was bland and not what you’d expect from here. It tasted like it was parboiled chicken dropped into an Anglo-Indian cooking sauce. If you do try the food perhaps it’s best to order a few dishes as they seem hit or miss I’ve not tried the food from here but heard it’s good. I did however go for a couple of cups of desi (traditional Asian) tea. Service was quick, friendly and accurate by all accounts. Would recommend for a bite or simply a place to enjoy some time with friends.

Terrible customer service. I got over charged because they decided to make me something different to what I asked for.

Simply No Frills!!! but good food, friendly staff and fast service. Prices are very reasonable too.

we got food delivered which is so nice delievery boy is such a nice person food is so nice n warm will order again in sha Allah

Excellent food, brilliant service, incredible tea and open till late. What's not to like about this place

Stayed in blackburn for the first time. Found this place on google. Delivery was quick and easy. Food was amazing, ordered a lamb karai, samosas and chips, was pipping hot. I am missing there food its too far to travel. I will definitely go again sometime just for this place.

Excellent curry, great value for money.

Low standard and food quality very bad not recommended......disappointed.

Oder completely wrong food missing when rang to rectify the bloke on end of phone was very ignorant will never oder from this place ever again

Re-reviewed - Easily the best Dhaba style Ghosht-Roti (the Chai was beaten by 'Chai Paani.') I believe they've renovated their once awful toileting facilities.

Best chicken Karahi ever tasty naans really enjoyed the food good customer service definitely going again

really poor taste literally dog food...not for human curry was like water

Had some food from here the other week. Amazing. Took a while to prep. The toilet was not great. But food was amazing.

One of the best places in Blackburn for curry's

Nice kabab rolls for take out, quick and polite service.

Brilliant curries. Very convenient if you want a late night curry as its open til late

Good honest food and service to match

We order takeaway from here every few weeks. Myself, my wife and the kids all love their food. Brilliant lamb curries, massive portion of amazing chips, great salad and mint chutney. Frickin awesome! Plus, great customer service, great prices and delivery.

Next best thing to home cooking its the closest you will ever get i go from Manchester to preston to do work on my properties and when we finish in the evening we alway go to Blackburn for a meal the take away don't look all that fancy but the food is tasty

The waiting time is too long, that's after I've pre ordered over the phone.

I've been going to Shandar for many years and NEVER have I had reason to complain they are the best curry house I know

Always great food , reasonable price

Regular customer but since recently thisbplace has seriously gone down hill. The service is non existant, you are waiting tobbe served but they answer the phone first. The food was literally watered down the ladt few times. There are many other outlets that are much better so won't be using this again.

Good taste. Suitable for family as well

Strong Tea but take long to make. Best to have in morning or afternoon

I have known this place since i was a child. Excellent food at competitive prices. Good customer services skills too.

One of the best authentic Indian takeaway/restaurant in blackburn, good value and also offer a delivery service now.

Just getting round to writing this after being poorly during the night and all morning. Never tasted food like it ever. I’m saying food, but it wasn’t fit for a human. More oil than anything, food was bland, service was silence, couldn’t wait for the taxi to hurry up cause the smell was making me feel poorly. I give honest reviews so I’m mot gonna lie, the one star is only cause I have to put a star. Wasn’t clean, food wasnt nice. Tap water was ok though. Won’t be returning.

Best place I’ve ever eaten at the staff were very nice and the food was even better would recommend

Wow! Perfect food, perfect service. Will be ordering tomorrow again.

Very nice food. Proper desi food and they're open late night. Reasonable price for the good quality food 👌

Nope never again...nasty food nothing else to say

Really good Aloo Parathas in Pakisatani Style.

Best chips in town and great kebab rolls. Good value

Since the staff have changed the service is horrendous, order 2 kebab rolls over the phone then went down 210 mins later to pick them up and they made me wait 34 mins in the shop then through the food at me violently, don't go there!

Omar is amazing thank you so much for looking after me and the food was delicious love from London and Egypt

Good quality traditional Indian cuisine, reasonably priced. Probably the best chips in Blackburn along with their kebab rolls

Dhal gosht, chips, naan and saag aloo were best in Blackburn for sure

Fair price good food good value for money

Good food chips are amazing and Currys are nice

Missed order note completely, did not put any salad or sauce on anything and did not even put any separate either.

Best place for food late at night

Excellent food customer service is very good

Food is great Service is terrible

Nice good old traditional curry house what more to say

Going strong 💪 than ever before good food allhamdolilah just the way I get them to make it perfect all the time...

Food is good, would question hygiene standards. Especially the toilets- they stink and need some investment. The state of the toilets often say alot of an establishment.

Best currys in Blackburn and Darwen!

Loved it and when everything is closed this is your last hope

Roti Keema So on point Thank you shandar for the experience

2 kebab rolls & chips. Both very nice. Took away with us. Reasonably priced.

Me and my main man Stix have eaten in bare places.. Ngl we both be sayin this place is THE SHIZNIT! Ok so the Blackpool lights theme might make bredrins shy away from this joint. But imma tell u straight this place is the bomb!! U want a quick nom nom with your Julie before you hit the town, then single kebab roll it.. or if u r with ur mandem while ur doing the rounds up and down Whalley range, then double kebab roll it.. I'm telling mans now.. u will memba mans lyrics once uv had their kebab!

Very good food highly recommended. However dont expect a posh restaurant setting, its more in keeping with a cafe.

Great food and customer service as well as the atmosphere. Definitely the best curry place in Blackburn, highly recommended.
