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!

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??

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)

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

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.

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!

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.

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.
