Sunam Tandoori Indian Restaurant in Blackpool

A real jewel of a restaurant. Food is cooked hot, spiced to order and very well presented. Drinks are average prices for the area. My only comment would be for them to get a new service trolley or atleast properly clean and wash the existing one as it is dirty and puts you off your food!!

Excellent food and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Great food, great service and good vfm

Been here several times over the years and quality never slips. This year was with a very large group of friends, and everything was great. Lovely food, brill service with character, clean and pleasant, a highly recommended restaurant.

Best pakoras and onion bhaji to have on a rainy day

Brilliant indian restaurant best in blackpool excellent service 👌

We've been to dine at Sunam three times and always excellent food and service, one visit for a birthday and was made to feel special with a birthday cake...thanks guys 😊 Sunam is well worth five stars. We've also had takeaway from Sunam and the food and service has been the same five stars. We will be dining at Sunam again 👍

Went here a few days ago with a large group as we were looking for a restauraunt while we were visiting Blackpool. This place did not disappoint, everything was amazing from the curries to the service, I could not fault it. I would recomend the lamb karahi and their cheesy naans. Definitely coming back here next time we visit. For anyone thats going to the beach or the theme park i'd recommend coming here to eat.

Had gone to visit Blackpool with my family and after a nice day out had found this place to dine at. After visiting, I hoped I had found this place much earlier. From the food, to the service and friendly manner of the staff. Everything was perfect. The curries were extremely delicious, the staff were friendly and checked up on us to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything else. If you do come down to Blackpool, then this is 100% a place to come down and eat at. Will be coming here myself again very soon.

During a recent trip to Blackpool, we discovered this fantastic restaurant and were thoroughly impressed. The curries were absolutely delicious, and the staff provided excellent service, making sure we had everything we needed. If you’re visiting Blackpool, whether for the beach or the theme park, this place is definitely worth a stop. We’ll be returning on our next visit for sure!

Wasn't expecting much at first but was blown away by how tasty the curries were. The environment was very cozy and the staff were attentive. Will be coming back every time we are in the area.

The food was exceptional. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the chef’s skill was evident in how well everything was cooked and seasoned. The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They made great recommendations and ensured that everything was just right throughout the meal. Although, butterchicken could be less sweet. Overall, good.

A restaurant with a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Fantastic food and service. Will absolutely be back for more. If you're in the area I'd recommend coming here, it will not disappoint.

The food was ok - overcooked chicken but the curry itself was nice. The service was slow and it was difficult to attract the attention of a waiter for drinks etc. I was quite surprised when I was stood at the bar when I watched a waiter rinse dirty glasses in cold water with no detergent and proceed to dry them. No doubt the manager will comment after this review but I have no reason to lie. I won’t be returning.

There were 4 of us on Sunday 18th of August 2024What a fab night we had.The food and staff were amazing A big thank to everyone for your Hospitality and the little extra s you provided for Ernies birthday.We hope to see you soon.Thanks again.Ernie x Doreen

Having been a long standing customer at Sunam I booked an impromptu visit. The worst experience I have had. Most of staff were very pleasant, but one waiter clearly had an attitude! Very curt and sharp with his retorts. We ordered drinks, lovely staff. Ordered meal, starters came , garlic mushrooms for a change, tinned mushrooms, like rubber and slimy however then I found a sharp piece of plastic in them, called said waiter, asking very sharply ‘where’ ‘ where’, I was offered another starter, ‘no thank you’ then the main came. I ordered chicken biriani, the chicken ( three piece) was very hard and dry It also came with a very thin one egg omelette! Spread over the top all fatty and greasy, the meal came with vegetable curry with lots of swede! I also ordered some spiced potatoes. These came barely warm, but as I’m sure most people know who eat potatoes regularly, would recognise old ones that tasted like yesterday’s potatoes just barely put together. I have to say owner/ manager! Did come and apologise for the plastic in mushrooms and knocked it off the bill, and I did not complain about the rest and make a scene spoiling others in the restaurants night. Extremely disappointed, will not go back or recommend.

Food was tasty and flavoursome. Fantastic value for money. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Staff were very attentive..

Great curries. Best in the area worth travelling from Blackpool to

The food here is very nice and has a varied menu with a good vegetarian choice. Staff are very pleasant and attentive for any queries you have. The cost wasn't expensive and for 2 of us we had dips and poppadoms, main meal, rice, chips and naans, and 2 non alcoholic drinks for £23 each.

Takeaway dinner. Chicken and lamb overcooked. Sauce wet. Keema naan dry and tasteless. Won't be back.

Lovely meal, good service, reasonable prices and nice atmosphere.

We haven't been in for quite some time but found the food and service were excellent.

The food was mid but the fat waiter kept on eating chips he asked for some of my food then death stared me down while licking his lips. He even blew a kiss at me.

Absolutely fantastic from the food to the service they all went above and beyond we will definitely be back

Always a great meal. Flavoursome and just the right amount

Ordered £40 worth of food. Took over 1.5 hours to be delivered. Called several times to be told lies. "2mins away" "5mins away". Arrived cold, missing part of the order. Called again! To be told "will sort you out next time". Argued with the apparent manager, got no where. I would advise to avoid this indian.

What a beautiful dining experience staff were friendly helpful and polite the food was absolutely fantastic nothing went to waste I would highly recommend this restaurant such an enjoying evening will be back and recommending to my guests from my hotel in Blackpool.....Robin Wright clarron House

My hubby and 2 of our friends had an impromptu evening in Bispham. The Sunam did not disappoint! They fit us in, even though we hadn't booked...we will do in future! The food, atmosphere and service were amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our night exceptional!

The food was hot tasty and delicious. Service was great. Definitely coming back

We have ordered Tarka Dal- which is watery Vegetable curry - made with cabbage Egg Fried Rice- made with hardly 1 egg Veg Fried Rice - again made with cabbage Overall - if someone wants to try Indian food in Blackpool, then please think twice to order from this restaurant.

Great food, great prices and excellent service I would highly recommend, never had a bad meal

Excellant service food is fantastic staff very helpful and friendly. Thank you for sorting us out with a table tonight at short notice.

Extremely good food, a lovely place for supper.

We booked as a party of 6 to celebrate a 90th birthday and we couldn’t have chosen anywhere better. The food was excellent (as always) and all the staff were so welcoming, kind and attentive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic restaurant, great food along with excellent service. Was recommended here by the owners of a hotel we were staying at, they were not wrong when they said best Indian around the area. Can't wait until our next visit in August.

Fantastic food. Fantastic staff. Been here a few times and it's been excellent

Save your money, we’re from Birmingham so know how Indian food tastes as it’s our favourite, this place is vile worse ever.. watered down curry and burger cheese slices on the naan bread.. never had anything like it and the staff am more weird than the place it’s self

I meant to post this in December but completely forgot. We arranged a takeaway for Christmas Day to try something a little different (we had a traditional Christmas lunch the next day). Pick up was quick & efficient. The staff very friendly even though they were very busy. They’d even put in a free bottle of wine, thank you very much. The food was lovely, very tasty & hot when it arrived. I also have food warming trays so it remained that way. Will definitely use them again but I would say they could put more information on their Facebook page about what they offer over Christmas & their revised opening times because the information wasn’t readily available & a few phone calls were necessary.

Food was amazing, maybe biast as first time at a proper Indian restaurant but still !!! the food was amazing and I even tried the spicy food even though I couldn't eat spice before but absolutely loved this place.

Only god knows how this restaurant is rated 4 stars. After reading through some of the “good” reviews, it’s clear to see that they are paid. I don’t know why Google doesn’t do anything about them. As tourists to the city, I a dinner here seemed reasonable looking at the reviews. Unfortunately, the Butter Chicken and the Biryani were inedible and disgusting. Furthermore, there were obvious hygiene issues in the restaurant e.g unclean cutlery and dirty handkerchiefs. DO NOT GO HERE! IT IS BETTER TO GO HUNGRY THAN EAT HERE!!

Horrible food. Made we want to vomit. Scammed us by charging us for tap water even though it was free. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF BLACKPOOL! You will be thoroughly disappointed and your night will be ruined. Worst mistake of our trip was to go here.

Slow slow service 2hrs for main course we had to wait

I feel so very lucky to have a fantastic restaurant within walking distance. The food and service are second to none, and the price is very competitive. It's always a pleasure to dine here.

I've only ever ordered out and only chicken tikka so my experience is limited but it's one of the best Indians I've had in the area and highly recommended.

Our friends took us for a night out here. The place is just wonderful. Friendliest staff! Very quick service. Really great food!! The ooonly downside.. the lighting is very dark there. I hugely recommend this restaurant! I predict that we will be going back more than once

First time trying sunam in the restaurant it's a busy restaurant great atmosphere. Service was very pleasing and the food was very nice definitely will be back . 😋

Worst curry I've had in a long time, great service, but the food wasn't good at all

Lovely atmosphere. Good service and extremely tasty food at a reasonable price. Can't go wrong

Always the same high standard of food and service. We'd never bother going anywhere else.

Excellent food, the staff were welcoming and very accommodating. Nothing too much trouble. I will definitely eat here again.

Service and food spot on , generally a good experience for an evening meal .

We had the 2 person meal deal & extras. The food was amazing and plentyful. Staff were helpful. Onion barjis & garlic, chilli chicken can be recommended

Went with wife and 3 kids,was plenty to eat and all very good can't fault it

This is a really nice place... I'm on holiday in Blackpool for a week and this is my second time In this restaurant. I found the food to be absolutely delicious... And the service was pretty good too!! .... The boss (Gulam) came over to ask if we where OK.. Which I felt was a nice touch to the service... Thank you... Sure to visit again in the future.

Lovely friendly Staff especially the young waiter who took our takeaway order. He made us feel very welcomed whilst we waited for it to be cooked. Food was delicious 😋

Amazing food, very authentic Indian food, really great service, comfortable seating good size table

Me and my friends took over most of the restaurant. They were very accommodating and great food.

Whilst the food was of a reasonably good standard the amount of chicken in the meal was not of the amount you would expect, I would go as far to say that there was not even one chicken breast in total for the two meals we ordered. The wait between starter and main was incredibly long to the point we were starting to think they had lost the order. On the whole reasonably priced, service slow, flat coke would we go again ? Probably not

Amazing food and atmosphere recommended by Danny from the windsor Park Hotel will definitely come back when we back in Blackpool

Nice food. Shame you ha e to have a rice and a nann as part of a package on the menu but it is what it is.

Went last night to celebrate our anniversary. Absolutely delicious food, fantastic service. Would definitely go again.

We visited whilst on holiday, lovely staff, excellent food with good sized portions. The toilets were clean and looked after. If we visit Blackpool again, we will definitely be back.

Great Madras 👍 just the right amount of spice, friendly staff, a very nice place to eat

We take family and friends here whenever they stay over 🤩🤩🤩,they compliment it so much 💫💫💫.The staff are so so accommodating 🤩🤩🤩 especially Gulam always as a huge smile .The food is tip top 🌟🌟🌟.

We visited twice during a holiday to Blackpool. The first time as a couple and the second time as a family. There are offers in place throughout the week and this means you get excellent value for money. The food is tasty and fresh, the atmosphere was good and relaxed and the staff where all very pleasant. I would highly recommend a visit here if you are in the area.

Good food, good service and a good price.

Great food, very reasonable prices and great staff

Lovely restaurant, good curry with great flavour and fair price

Great meal, very flavoursome and tasty, very busy night but still managed to fit us in as walk ins, only marked service down as forgot our starters but was rectified when bill came, Great staff will definitely come again next time in area x

I’ve ordered 3 portion of chicken curry ,way to sweet as we were 3 friends and it was different taste and different colours, we were so confused so we decided to taste each of them , after 1 bite had to take pictures of it and throw it in bin as they been putting soda in it , thought to go back to the restaurant but it was to late as it was closed at 11 pm ,wish I could upload pic of each of them to prove how it looks like , will not recommend anyone to try the chicken as was blend

Every time we come to Blackpool, we go to Sunam for dinner. Great food, Excellent Service & reasonably priced 👌👏👍

great place, very welcoming, excellent food. We will be back

Fantastic food and service value for money

Ate here for the 1st time today Absolutely amazing. The food was really delicious. Fresh crisp popadums. The mixed kebab was amazing and the onion bhajees were perfectly made and cooked. Highly recommended and excellent value. Super friendly staff and very clean.

Just went in for a meal decided for a take away meat like billets and not a kahari. Greasy starter very poor

Waiter wasn't going to poor wine,the food and service good,just waiter wasn't that good not that helpful, sorry

Had a really great meal. The staff were very friendly, and the food was great 😁

Lovely restaurant friendly staff food fabulous will return when next in Blackpool

We order a takeaway every friday from the sunam. The food is always beautiful.

Excellent food, service was spot on, we had a really fabulous evening.

This was delicious by a long way 😋😋😋

Really did not enjoy our meal. Starter was tasteless and not what we asked the waiter for. The lamb karahi was shocking with giant cut vegetables (as in photo). Lucky, if it had 7 pieces of lamb. The chicken balti was more like a korma in both colour and taste. The Pilau rice was basically boiled rice. The best thing was the nan bread, which I suspect they bought in . Never again . Complete waste of money, and when we me mentioned our disappointment to the waiter, it was just dismissed with a comment of " That's the way we do it"

This is a definite must if you are in or even near Blackpool.Very good food.

Absolutely terrible Indian, came last year and was good has clearly went downhill - staff also are also surprised when you say yes to needing cutlery obviously expecting you to eat with your fingers? AVOID!!!!!

Beautiful place, Spotlessly clean, Food, the best I've had, Service, very warm and welcoming, and very attentive, Over all top marks 10/10

Enjoyed the food and staff were great definitely go back there, thanks

Had excellent meal, will be going again

Gorgeous curry, very impressed, shall definitely return. Nice and warm too👍

Go here all the time, always a great curry

Ordered chicken Korma, was the worst I have eaten, even the pilau rice was not nice at all. Will NOT buy again if am in the area.

Excellent, can only say you must try

Ordered a takeaway.£16.50. The whole meal was terrible. I do not know how old the chicken was. It was very dry with a horrible texture. I ended up putting it all in the bin. I could have had two chinese for that price. You live and learn. Never again.

Food great staff helpful and very friendly 👍👍

I've been here a few times before and it was ok but I ordered a chicken shashlik for collection, the chicken was tough and grisly, and had a smell reminiscent of a wet dog that's come in from the rain,the onion was almost raw( I like raw onion but not in a curry) The sauce was watery, the rice and Peshawari naan was passable, the best part of the meal was the complimentary poppadom. £16 wasted

What can I say other than the food is really good.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time for a curry

Been multiple times and always fabulous

My favourite Indian restaurant, good job it's almost on my doorstep

First time I've been for an Indian meal and I really enjoyed it ,the food was amazing ,had chicken shaslik

Delicious good prices really enjoyed it
