14 of us Visited The Whitecroft again this evening and everything was simply wonderful !! 🥰 The staff are really lovely, they gave us all a really warm welcome & nothing is too much trouble !! … The restaurant is decorated beautifully and it’s a really relaxed, warm atmosphere. We were having a triple celebration and they helped make the evening extra special 🥰🎈🎂🎁 …. And the added bonus… The Prices are really reasonable for high quality meals! ❤️ We’ll be back soon 😍

Perfect food. Couldnt fault at all. Great service by H would recommend to anyone . I definitely Will be coming again, atmosphere was sensation

Our family's favourite restaurant! Efficient staff who are so helpful. Food absolutely excellent and we all love trying different dishes from the menu as well as some of the classics

Once again 6 of us enjoyed a truly excellent meal. All had different and each were tender, tasty and well presented. This lovely comfortable restaurant is getting more popular than ever which proves they're doing it right. Looking forward to next time!

A superior eatery with superior staff

Simply the best curry around, varied, well cooked and extremely tasty, always good and always busy, just shows the quality, never had a bad meal here in years, love you guys.

Service was good. Partner is disabled. One gent came out to help her through the doors. They were friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Loved the lemon rice. Ace. Decent portions. One thing, there is a parking bay at the end of the ramp for disabled. A car was obstructing part of it. Otherwise, no complaints at all.

This place is one of, if not the best, places I have had the pleasure to eat out at. The food is awesome, has great taste, and is always served to my liking. Chilli nan and chapatti are just right when served and topped off with a great bar service, too.

Food is amazing, lamb bhuna where the lamb just melts. Staff super attentive, can't do enough for you. Thanks so much!

So glad we live locally, consistently great food, impeccable friendly service, good ambience. Never disappoints whether with friends or a quiet meal as a couple

We had not been for a couple of years , Other establishments in the area had taken over . However we decided to give the Whitecroft a whirl . We were not disapointed. the quality of food and service puts the others to shame . We will be back !

Everything I visit the whitecroft the food and the service is always 💯. I had the shank rogonjosh and it was the best curry I have ever had

Called to ask if they delivered takeaway - They replied no and put the phone down before I had chance to ask if I could collect.

Just want to say thanks for a fantastic meal with absolutely top notch service. The food is amazing, the chicken melts in your mouth, in fact every person in our party agreed it was the best Indian meal they have had in years. They were even saying how good it was a day later. The service was spot on, they knew the right time to ask if we needed more drinks etc and there always seemed to be someone available to ask for things. H (Hussain) was great with the kids and was a really nice friendly guy who is a credit to the restaurant. Thanks again and we will definitely be back soon.

Right. Well, what a superb dining experience me and t'other half had here on Sat 14th Jan. Really, really great food and service. Up there with the best Indians I've had. Flavours sublime. Really tender chicken & lamb tikka and although I eat a lot of curries I'm not a big fan of lamb tikka but wow. This was tasty. Infact, the whole meal was bang on. The only thing to have a little whinge about was that my jalfrezi wasn't very spicy despite me asking them to make it extra hot. It was still lovely but I'm a spice freak. We are already planning on going back and i'll get vindaloo next time. The fact that the place was filling up fast at 1830 on a dismal, murky, January night says it all. Well happy and cannot wait to go back. Roy. Update 28/2/23- been 4 times now and had 4 different main meals. Went on Saturday 25th Feb and had vindaloo. Amazing. The flavours!! My new fave indian restaurant ever, and that is saying something guys. Update- Feb 24'. Been a lot of times now haha and this is consistently good. Never leave not having enjoyed the meal & service. Update- July 24'. This is going to be a rare treat these days after they have put the price of pint of cobra up to pretty much £6. It's not Manchester or London guys!! It's east Lancashire. Come on. £6 a pint😞

Fantastic food, Vindaloo delivered, attentive staff, drink prices reasonable, toilets spotless. I definitely will be going again.

The best Indian food I have had in years. Nothing was too much trouble for them, even though we were a party of over 20. Everyone was saying the same thing, it was a perfect meal.

Been to many Indian restaurants this is by far the best. Friendly staff, very clean and a fair price. The chicken is fresh and soft and the curry’s have a good taste to it.

Great food and staff are excellent 👌

I live not too far away in Darwen and we have 4 Indian restaurants on our doorstep but this one is more than worth the drive. We have been here a dozen times now over the last few months and it never fails to impress. We both order Chicken Tikka Shashlick served with rice, chips, garlic naan bread and two sauces usually Madras and Jal Frezi. All the food is delicious, every time. Great service too. Cannot recommend this place enough

Real nice place to eat, very friendly staff and awesome food

Excellent place to eat food fantastic

We came here for an evening meal on 26 April 2024. I am glad that we booked a table because it was busy. Despite this, the service was very quick. The restaurant wasn't noisy even though it was busy; maybe we were lucky, or just more patient than other reviewers? The restaurant was clean and tidy, and the waiting staff were friendly and polite to their customers. The food is utterly divine! This was simply the best Indian cuisine that I have ever tasted anywhere, and I am so glad that we will soon be living close by because we will definitely return. I had the 'Southern Indian Garlic' dish as medium and it was scrumptious. I really do recommend this dish! All the food was VERY flavoursome but not as hot and spicy as I thought it might be. I usually opt for a medium hot dish but I found the food to have more of a medium spiciness. This isn't a criticism though, I'm drooling just thinking about this meal. I highly recommend this restaurant and I strongly advise that you book a table before arriving.

Visited the whitecroft for the first time the other evening for a family birthday meal after watching them on Facebook for a long time! Food was really good and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and the manager Rijad was also very accommodating. We got offered a lovely birthday good will gesture at the end of the evening which was a very appreciative touch. Would recommend and we will definitely return.

Was staying in the Hilton hotel for work and was recommended. Best decision! The food was absolutely amazing. Main man rihaad recommended the chicken tikka shashlick and oh my god it looked unbelievable and tasted even better! The interior of the restaurant is great, the food is amazing and the service was spot on. All staff friendly, professional and attentive. Unfortunately I’m most likely not going to be working in the area for quite some time but I will happily travel all the way from home which is over 2 hours away purely for the whitecroft. Thank you again everyone at whitecroft especially rihaad!

We visit whitecroft regularly and we absolutely love it there. The decor is beautiful, the restaurant is clean and well looked after. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is always spot on. Rihaad and his team are great and always looking after us and ensure everytime we are getting at 11/10 service. The best in the area by miles.

Love it here. Chicken Sashlik, lamb chops, chicken Karai and the mixed grill. Every bit was excellently cooked. Service impeccable and relaxed after with coffees etc in the lounge without being pestered. Thoroughly enjoyable evening once again. My favourite Indian bar far. Gail

Very nice meal, staff amazing. I ordered a chili tikka masala, and it was a little too spicy for me, I asked a staff member for some cream too cool it down and he came back to our table and poured it in and even mixed it! A lot leftover, good portion sizes.

ANOTHER SHOCKING INDIAN THAT HAS GOOD REVIEWS DOES NOBODY KNOW HOW TO MAKE A DECENT CURRY ANYMORE.

This is our favourite Indian restaurant by far. Haven’t been for quite a long time up to this visit due to ill health so was lovely to return Sadly mashok wasn’t in on the evening Great waiter service and of course beautiful food as always Will be returning soon

1st time at Whitecroft but it will not be the last. Gorgeous meal Popappadomwith chutney tray followed by Lamb Buryani,superb, cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding, polite, professional. Big Thank you to all staff, cooks etc at Whitecroft. Look forward to coming back.

Fantastic food and service very busy so book in advance

Have used this restaurant 4 or 5 times with no complaints at all. I quite like the blue water feature (now removed) separating the restaurant and bar area. Just used the takeaway again, The White crofts quality has never let us down and my daughters partner who could not come insisted we froze their portion and took it back to Derbyshire for them 😂

Our 4th visit. Lovely food, great service. Will be back soon.

can't praise this place enough went with 20 members of the family everyone enjoyed it food top notch special mention to Riyad and all the waiters who looked after us very well will definitely go back well done all 👏👏

Best Indian in town absolutely love the whitecroft the service and atmosphere is phenomenal and of corse the food is unreal 10/10 recommend:) thank you whitecroft for amazing memories

Incredible food, we came for a family birthday meal and it did not disappoint!! The service is absolutely incredible staff are lovely and welcoming, food is next level, plus a complementary Prosecco for the birthday girls :))) best Indian in Blackburn 12/10 !!!

First visit to the restaurant with my family of five for an 18th birthday today, quite busy for a Wednesday evening after Xmas. Surroundings, ambience and food excellent but an observation is the courteous and helpfulness of staff a pleasure to experience in these times

Starters and mains were delicious !! The atmosphere is friendly and the service is impeccable. Great hospitality from these guys, thanks for good food and a great night !

Brilliant service and incredible food.

By far my favourite restaurant. I've been coming to the whitecroft indian since the 1st week it opened and never once have I been disappointed. The Anil Bhaji is to die for

Came here for a mask with a large group of people. The food was excellent, and the portions were very generous. One of the servers was rather rude and blunt during the service due to being confused by the pre-order. Overall though it was a really pleasant experience

Absolutely the best Indian restaurant in Lancashire .service,food, price .everything really.was our first time there

Great food, excellent service and reasonably priced! What more could you ask for from a curry house? We'll be back 👍

Food was nice but much salt on Chicken which spoiled it for us It was 7 deg outside and just as cold in restaurant. They eventually switched on a fan heater!

Lovely experience from start to finish! Food was second to none 😋 Service was excellent 👌 I enjoyed every minute 😊

Beautiful settings, lovely inside! Great service; waiters always at hand. Food was delicious, amazing curries, great portions; beautiful naans! So good we also got a collection order the weekend after! Thank you!

Attentive but not overbearing service. I had the Tandoori Mixed Grill will pilau rice and a bhuna sauce. Generous portions and sublime flavours. Recommended.

My first visit to Whitecroft was very good. We were greeted as soon as we entered. All the waiters were attentive and friendly throughout our meal. My starter of king prawn puri was beautiful, I really enjoyed it. Possibly one of the best I've had to date. The mix starter went down well also. I opted for a lamb tikka balti madras for my main and we got all the sides of rice, chips and garlic naan. The curry was good but quite standard, it wasn't very spicy but it was nice. However, it wasn't a curry that I'd remember or would stand out. I feel the same regarding the naan bread, lovely and soft but I prefer a bit more garlic. I will definitely revisit and try something different for my main. Overall a good evening and I do look forward to returning.

Made serving a party of 40 look easy! The restaurant was very busy besides us so all credit to them. Loved the food too of course. Actually, they went above and beyond.

The service is great. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is great. The food was well prepared and well presented. It is a bit over priced compared to other Indian restaurants I have been to. Menu seems a bit limited, in my opinion.

Passively rude staff, very loud noise level, table next to us, very rowdy loud and using vapes !!! The food was very mediocre and when the bill arrived, was widely over the amount spent. The bill had to be disputed and correct amount, finally paid. Will never go there again. Not recommend 😕!!

Good food, good beer 🍺 good service 👌

I was here on Friday night. I've just sat down to calculate my order, as I've never spent as much at an Indian. It turns out that I had been overcharged, unless it's £9.50 for a pint of Carlsberg. The food was delicious but not worth the price that I paid. It's a shame, as I'd have come back but I won't do now, out of principle.

Struggle to find a fault with this place, one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. The food, from the poppadoms to the curries to the mixed grills and garlic naan are delicious, the mains are full of flavour, especially the chicken kalia, 'turkish delight' and garlic masala dishes which were incredible. Staff are friendly and attentive, and it has a nice atmosphere overall. Convenient location close to Rossendale and Blackburn with a good size car park. Have enjoyed every visit to this place and will definitely be back

The food was excellent and ate everything. We had the 4 courses for £16.95 which was good value. Will definitely be back. The Balti Garlic was so good

Visited for the first time this evening. Lovely atmosphere, great food & very good service. Enjoyed all our choices but, the starter platter for 2 was our favourite. Will definitely visit again. Thank You!

An amazing meal to cheer up a rainy evening in Blackburn. The selection of dishes on a very reasonable special was great and the waiter Riyadh helped me select a really tasty hot and spicy dish to accompany the starter. Now a must for my visits to Blackburn!!

Me and my father had a 3 course meal and the food was beautiful. Everything was cooked to perfection, tasted amazing and Riaz, our waiter, is a real credit to the establishment.

1st time visiting here from seeing someone mention it on facebook. So glad we tried somewhere new. The best Indian restaurant we've been too. The quality of food was amazing, service was fast and the staff where very friendly especially Riad. Price was very reasonable too. Can't fault it. 10/10 🙌

Chilli garlic chicken is amazing.

Fantastic atmosphere and the staff are all lovely. Attentive when needed, relaxed when not. Food was excellent but we couldn't eat it all. Will definitely be going again. Highly recommended.

I've reviewed this restaurant in the past but I thought I would do another up to date one. The food is absolutely beautiful and the guys who run the service are superb and help you with any questions or advice that's needed. The food itself is super tasty and perfect amount of spice for myself and my family. The only shame is that there is no delivery service but in fairness the service is so good its worth driving there for. Great food Great service Great banter Great drinks choice Also, special note - Rihaad is a credit to front of house service, really sociable and makes time to come over and chat. Top chap well done!!

Great night for my mates 50th, food was tip top, could not ask for a more flavoursome curry, staff were great, plenty of parking and a great atmosphere. Cheers guys

Best Indian restaurant in the area no question.

Came on a Wednesday evening and it was nice and quiet. I really like how couples get to sit in the little booths, unlike other resteraunts that have small tables for 2 that have to usually sit in the tables that feel wedged in somewhere. Poppadoms really good, chutney tray was disappointing though, as the red sauce was runny. Starters really good, curry very good and the naan bread was very good. Overall good place, not too pricey and would return.

We hadn’t been to The Whitecroft for some time so thought we would go there for tea. Surprised when we drove into the car park as there was only one other car and on entering we were the only people in the restaurant, in fact when we left over an hour later we were still the only people there. The welcome was friendly and we were shown to a table, as I was driving I requested sparkling water but they didn’t have any. We ordered starters, king prawn puri and onion bhaji’s, they came pretty quick and were hot. Main courses next, my wife had chicken tikka dhanchak, my so Anil Bhakti and I had the Whitecroft Tawa with boiled and pilau rice and naan bread and tandoori roti. All the main dishes had oil floating on top, the dhanchak wasn’t too bad but Emmy wife said it didn’t taste of much, my tawa was supposed to be in a “dry” sauce, it was anything but with a very oily surface and the lamb tikka was chewy but the anil bhaji was the worst with a considerable amount of oil on the surface. The tandoori roti was undercooked in places. Whilst the service was friendly at no time did anyone ask if everything was OK except when we had finished and I commented that it was very oily. Very disappointed as we have had some very good meals there in the past.

Went last night for my sons 18th, and I'm so glad we did. From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. I had the VIP experience-3 courses for £18, prawn puri, lamb banglore and peshwari naan, absolutely delicious. The place is spotless, the staff were kind and humorous, the food was delicious (12 of us and everyone said how delicious it was). They went out of their way to make it nice. Birthday boy got a free shot & a bottle of beer too 😃 Very happy! Thankyou to all

Been visiting the Whitecroft since day one and every time I go the food an service is always 💯. My favourite Indian restaurant

We dined here Saturday evening . Food was very nice, staff were polite, even asking if we were ready for our starter after poppadoms & again for our main meal. The venue was almost empty which surprised us as they have good reviews...They certainly deserved...

This is by far our favourite Indian restaurant. Great size car park and waiting area Decor is lush and the staff are so friendly, especially Mashok. Spoilt for choice knowing that everything is cooked fresh, but not wanting to overface ourselves My husband likes to...

The whitecroft gas been my favourite since the day they have been open. The food and the service is always fantastic.

Fantastic food, defo going again.

Came here with my friends for iftaar on our yearly iftaar outing, popadoms were nice with the chutney tray, i really liked the red sauce everywhere else its usually spicy but im not a big fan of spice, yours was sweet with a slight kick to it which was perfect, the mix grill was very nice although the lamb chops were quite chewy rather than meaty that could be somewhere to improve on for next time we come down, the keema naans were lovely one of the best i had in a while, food was lovely, staff were very friendly, the only few things i can say that could do with improving is the drinking glasses were a bit dirty so we didn't use them, the toilets were quite unclean like they hadn't been cleaned in a while, and the last one is there was only 1 staff on the floor which i understand as it was iftaar time so they were off eating and breaking their fast so i happy and respect that as we was doing the same. But we needed some drinks and had been sat there for a good 10/15 minutes waiting for staff member to finish speaking to a regular customer, we tried getting his attention many times but failed so had to stop eating our food as we badly needed a drink haha, but other than that was a good experience will be back in future inshallah, hopefully these teething issues will be fixed next time. Thank you for having us

Really good Indian restaurant - can't fault it at all. The place is great and the food was absolutely fantastic and reasonably priced as well as the menu being pretty extensive! We had great service and a really lovely evening - We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place never fails to disappoint. The place is always very busy and the food is by far the best in area

Food and staff lovely, very clean. cater for big and small groups. We enjoyed the VIP menu this sunday. great value for money

Terrible service and won’t be returning Visited this restaurant several times but the last 2 visits have gone downhill and on Mothers Day they were so busy doing take away that the service level dropped significantly We ordered food at 4:20 and apart from poppadoms...

Great food, polite & attentive staff

Celebrated our dad's 80th birthday .the staff went above and beyond .absolutely perfect ..the food was exceptional. A fantastic friendly atmosphere, you should all be proud .can't wait to come back ..

By far the best Indian restaurant in the North West. I've been dining at Indian restaurants for over 30 years and been to many award winning restaurants, including restaurants high in the Good Indian Restaurant guide. I rate the Highcroft in the top 3 restaurants I've ever been to and eat here once a week now I've found it. Strongly recommend, do your taste buds a favour and come here.

After wanting to come here for a long time , we finally did. One word…Epic. The food is amazing and so are the staff. The decor is lovely too. Definitely returning in a couple of weeks.

Great wee Indian service was really good waiters we're fun food was really good . Will definitely be back again

My first time here, we will definitely be going back again 100%. The food was out of this world. Cooked to perfection. The waiter informed me that the chef had made my food hot, and he had automatically remade it. The level of service was 10/10. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. Very reasonably priced. We explained that the wife's mother is allergic to garlic and wants to come next time. We were told that wouldn't be a problem at all, and the chef would make a fresh dish, taking garlic out of the equation altogether.

Me and my partner visited the whitecroft indian on valentines day and what can i say about this place. Even tho the place was packed the food and the service was 100%. The manager Aminur recommended anil bhaji and the naga special without doubt the...

Got to say it was a fantastic meal, the curries were delicious and the lamp chops starter was succulent 🤌🏽, would definitely recommend you give this place a try, the server Rihaad was a fantastic host and made the experience all the more lovelier.

1st experience here refered from a friend I cannot tell you how warm and welcoming this restaurant is they tick every box food amazing service top quality 6* from us

Simply one of the best. Would recommend to all.

Me and my husband went for a date night at the restaurant and had a great time. Delicious food with very friendly staff. Definitely will be visiting again.

Yummmmy will definitely come back - Rihaad was especially great 👍 definitely recommend guys especially the cheese curry 🤤

What can I say, always top notch curries, whenever I’m craving an Indian, we’re sure to stop by here! Delicious as always and very attentive staff, Rihaad was amazing as usual. Definitely recommend trying this place out, always a hit.

We visited last Sunday and it was absolutely amazing. The food, the service and the atmosphere, I will definitely be back again to this spectacular restaurant. I recommend everyone to go to this restaurant. The special thanks to the management.

Daughters 18th, food was amazing, service was great and it was all reasonably priced. Loved it!

Amazing food with amazing costimer service, I would definitely advise for you to go to whitecroft Indian Restaurant.

Where to start...! If there was an option for no stars, it would be getting that! Firstly, we sat down at table and when a member of staff brought over a glass of coke, his words were "an order of coke... the liquid kind". References...

Absolutely love this place. Went on a saturday with family the place was busy and a lovely atmosphere. The service and food is always nothing short of perfection

First visit to the Whitecroft. Great food and service. We will definitely be back and will recommend this Indian restaurant to others.

First time dining at the Whitecroft. Great food and service. Will be back.

First visit to the restaurant. Can’t say it will be a favourite however service was 10 and price was fair we had a mix of starters and went with a recommendation of curry. Thanks for a lovely dinner
