After 5 years I have visted Thira. It has a branch in Blackburn . I think that this is a new branch. Good Kerala/South Indian food.

The driver didn't ring the bell but just left it outside the door

A hidden Jen of a place. Lovely ambience, excellent service and superb food. I would highly recommend it. The Kerala food is very authentic. Chef Arun is a master chef.

Good was warm on delivery and delicious too!

Best experience dining at Thira! Great ambience for family & friends! Loved it ❤️

2nd time ordering and they forgot something the first time and this time they forgot the 1x curry we ordered, tried to rectify by asking us to put our name on our next order however I asked if they could deliver as I lived close.. they did correct but not great missing the one thing you order for

Really great food! Very homely and authentic. Would highly recommend the dosa!

All the dishes we ordered were delicious.. Very nice atmosphere and service. Highly recommend.. ❤️

Absolutely gorgeous South Indian Restaurant. Located at the border of the North Walkden and Bolton. Completely authentic S. Indian food, 100x better than all the Anglicised "Indian" restaurants and takeaways which usually serve Pakistani / Bangladeshi food that's been adapted. It's the best authentic Indian Restaurant I've been to outside of London and I'm v familiar with authentic Indian food. The service is great, lovely clean surroundings and the food is AMAZING. It is v popular with S. Indian families which is a testament to how good it is. There was a great choice for everyone meat eaters, vegetarians, Vegans and children. The food is freshly prepared and we were asked how spicy we'd like our dishes. Some dishes are a bit different to what we usually see but there is a full explanation on the menu and the staff are great and take time to help. Lastly it is amazing value for money. I cannot recommend highly enough. I traveled quite a distance to visit and will definitely be going back soon. Its my new favourite eatery. Thank you 😊

Very tasty food and good place for a family as well. Definitely coming back again 😃

Literally paid for freezer food

Visited this place as we were looking for an authentic South Indian restaurant and we weren't disappointed. The food was amazing and was served in good time. The customer service was outstanding. Not sure if advanced booking is necessary as it was quite quiet when we visited and and the place could accommodate many people. Decent sized car park adjacent to the restaurant.

Excellent place for authentic Kerala food. Quite and peaceful atmosphere.

Very good quality. very fresh. very helpful. it’s just up the road from walkden, Between the 2 Tescos. easy parking. Different than most other indian restaurants. Very authentic and tasty. definitely recommend. But it isn’t a boozer type of curry place.,

The portion size was very disappointing

Ordered 1 Beef varutharichathu & Chicken along Kerala Porotta. TBH, the quantiy of portions of the curries don't Justify the price. It was a big let dow. The taste was good, like homemade (was not spicy at all and a vbiy more salt required)

Fantastic, the food is spectacular! The service is very attentive, l highly recommend this place if you are looking for a different taste experience, very very good

The portions were small. Not a lot of options for vegetarian in Kerala dishes.

It was worst experience for me from a restaurant. I have ordered through online for the food. When received the food I got a very small potion which I have ordered. I have ordered Nadan beef and I have attached a picture what I have received. I called to the restaurant and spoke to the chef he said he was using abusive language to me and he was shouting at me that this much only I can provide. It was totally disgusting me. When I asked something they have responsibility speak in a polite way. It was really bad experience for me from a restaurant. I decided not to order anything from that restaurant.

Authentic Kerala food. The lamb, chicken and prawn were cooked to perfection. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic South indian food

Good tasting food with decent portion size. Small issue with order rectified by great customer service. Thank you. We will definitely be ordering from again

Yummy and authentic kerala food. Tasty kappa & fish curry, flavourful kozhikodan biriyani and authentic kerala porotta.. The starter Kerala Kozhi roast was special. Will come back soon..

Driver just left the food outside my house! Not even delivered in hand.. what kind of manners is that

Went in for my sons birthday lovely service

Best Indian restaurant in Bolton! Flavours are superb! Dosas are divine! Had an amazing meal. Highly recommend. Enjoyed all our courses.

Gorgeous food here. Was delivered still hot too Five stars

Regular visitor with my wife and friends. Without a doubt, the best around.

Very consistent, excellent customer service and food. Food is authentic and more along the lines of something you would get at somewhere like Mowgli, except the curries are much better!

If you want realy fantastic food at very reasonable prices served by a really nice friendly hostess then the thira is for you a really great proper traditional menu and cooked to perfection were sat here writing this review as we're eating our main course a lovely prawn biriyani and probably the nicest lamb rogan josh I've ever had we will definitely be be back again

We went with a big party (32) and everything was great, food, service and staff great. A really different menu from the standard Indian restaurant as it focuses on the south of India. A good range of fish and vegetarian dishes available.

THE TIMINGS ARE WRONG OR THE PLACE IS SHUT DOWN !!!! I got there and there were no signs of life

Amazing authentic food. The Kerala Fish Curry was delicious. Great service. Lovely place.

If you want south Indian kerala food it is the best place to go.

Dont know about the food in there , firstly I would suggest them to update their shop opening timing in google.

All the Food was disgusting and all of it got thrown straight into the bin and 2 cans of coke missing from my order. Rang them just to be passed around cause their English is terrible and the 3rd person I spoke to said they'll give me my cans the next time I order which I told him I wouldn't be ordering again cause the food was disgusting and he hung up on me. Never ever again am I trusting reviews on here. You all messed up your taste buds so bad if you think this is the best curry place. You clearly all have some terrible takeaways around where you live.

Delivered early and by FAR the best curry iv ever had and iv had a lot

Great food...you won't be disappointed

I wholeheartedly recommend this place, the food is fresh and tastes great, the service is very friendly. I will definitely come back

Although they missed 2 items the food was amazing the first curry I have enjoyed in a long time, I will most likely order again(they did call apologising and offering to rectify however the food had already been eaten by the time I noticed the call) very well handled which is rare

Transported to Kerala!!!! Wow what delight, i have ordered from Thira twice and what a journey, amazing!!! I will visit the restaurant with my family soon, to the staff of Thira, Thank you.

Honestly one of the most delicious & fresh lamb curries I’ve had. Biriyani is spiced amazingly. The paratha is fresh and pulls apart perfectly. I couldn’t fault it! 10/10 highly recommend.

Very welcoming staff with a Great choice of food

quantity of sambhar is too small. need more sambhar

I've had a few takeaways from here, eaten in once. Food is quality. Served with a smile.

An authentic Kerala cuisine, excellent service and all in all a lovely experience. Access and parking very good,ambience pleasing and food exemplary. Vegeterian starters we tried included chilli paneer,,pepper mushrooms,and vada. Meat and fish,lamb were all fab. Appams,dosa,kerala parotta,and the biriyanis were all very good. Would definitely recommend this place for a taste of Kerala any day.

Enjoyed the food very much. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely delicious food. Best Indian restaurant ever,

Friendly staff, the food was very delicious! flavours outstanding ,even to down to the Chutney tray, good portions , highly recommended, cant wait to try some more :) 2 people x 3 course each with sides , poppadoms and soft drinks only £50 great all round, thank you

Excellent takeaway and eating in always Excellent

I have ordered appam and it was not at all good and the taste also very bad

Waited over 2 hours to eat fuming 😡 Service was non existent

Where do I start, ended up sat away from family even though we booked as a party, waited 30 mins for a drink, starter was still frozen, main meal came 2 and a half hours after we came in,, curry was fantastic but service was shocking,,,,, 1 poor guy and a lady serving a full restaurant,,,,, my mate who's has MND and has to eat often to keep his strength up ate 1 poppadom in 2 hours 30,,,,, shocking effort,,,, we won't be back but I hope it works out for you

Delicious food at a great price. 4 for atmosphere because it was cold in the restaurant. Would have been nicer if it had a cosy feel to it.

Absolutely bang on! Lovely food

Excellent food and service as always

Authentic Kerala Food. Really tasty awesome food with good ambience, goos service and parking space.

Fantastic as always, hot, fresh, delicious

Waited quite a while for the food to arrive, we was a party of 16 & we all ate at different times. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the food.

Absolutely delicious south indian food ....👌👌👌👌 Amazing experience from staff as well as good atmosphere 👍 highly recommended to others

What an amazing experience. The food was just superb. Never been before. BUT will definitely return. To taste more delicious food.

This place is amazing, great quality food, world very highly recommended. I'd list a dish, but they are all excellent.

Poppadom package not worth 3pounds for 2 poppadoms, the curry was watery and low quality for the price tag attached to it

Great food, will definitely try again.

I had food delivered. I can honestly say it was the best food I have tasted in a long time. Highly likely

Excellent food... not oily or processed in any way, just really fresh and tasty! May still visit the one in Blackburn but with this being closer, I may not :-)

Great restaurant and same quality when ordered as takeaway

Authentic kerala food 🩷 just love it

Delivered fast and really fresh, piping hot food

Terrible! Unlikely to use the service again.. Uber eats from now on..!

Excellent service.. Very teasty food....

Very nice place for some good South Indian dishes, especially from kerala. And a good place for seafood

Peaceful place to have good food.

We had been to Thira on a couple of occasions and we loved the food then. It was only because of our previous good experience with the restaurant, I installed Just Eat and ordered food from there but I was not all pleased with the food that was provided to me. The food had no taste. None of us liked the food.

I went with my hubby on a Saturday afternoon. Previously tried it on just eat so wanted to try it in restaurant. Ambience is good and helpful staff. We were in a bit of hurry and they brought the food quickly on request. Had a three course meal and all served fresh within an hour. Definitely going back as the food is freshly made and tasted way better than a home delivery order.

vegatable curry extremely disappointing full of wooden pieces

Very impressed with this curry house we ordered last week as well. The only problem I had this week was they didn’t write on which curry was which?? They were both lovely but we preferred one to the other but don’t know which one it was???

Loved it. Great food and good ambience. I was missing traditional Kerala style food. And now I finally found my forever favourite restaurant. Service was really good.

Really tasty. In fact we have decided to come and eat in the restaurant. Although we was disappointed that there was no salad with the seek kebab starter. It wasn’t value for money really

We bought some food for our son’s birthday party, which was for 15 people. To be very frank, this was the very best chicken bwwiriyani we had. It was made with utmost dedication and sincerity. It was truly delicious. Each one of them who had it, was praising and enquiring whether it was homemade. Reasonable price and A very big thanks for the people who worked behind this ❤️ Looking forward to come soon to try more of your delicacies 😜 All the very best for team Thira!!♥️👍🏻 Worth driving from Leeds to Bolton😍

Food on time and was lovely will definitely order again or visit the restaurant

The food is fantastic. Would definitely order from them again

Really good food! Full of taste. My lamb was really soft and tasty as it should be! Service also really nice. I can fully reccomend this place 👌

food was good. service excellent and decor minimal.

Very polite people, food arrived hot and was delicious, will order again.

First time here but will definitely return. Our group all had different meals and agreed the food was fabulous. Different menu than your average Indian restaurant but well worth a visit. Very tasty food. Opted for medium heat but probably go for hot next time. 5 stars

Excellent taste authentic keral

Authentic South Indian taste. A family run restaurant, lovely staff!

We find this the best south indian restaurant around, and travel from westhoughton.

Excellent food and friendly staff.

Went on a Monday night was very quiet only us in but the food was excellent been to Goa a few times and the food reminded me of that region nothing was to spicy and you can taste all the flavours so would definitely go again I hah prawn puri starter husband had the lamb chops for main husband had the King fish and I had varutharacha kozhi chicken and both were excellent the price is very reasonable for a restaurant so will definitely be back thanks

Sister restaurant to Thira in Blackburn and one of the best Indian restaurant's I've ever been to, everything from the service, decor and especially the food was fantastic and all at a reasonable price- £63 for; poppadoms, 2 x starters, 3 x main courses, naan bread, coconut rice, 2 x cocktails & 2 x beers. Excellent value 👏 I loved it so much I took a picture of the staff.

Worst experience I had, got food poison. If you care about your health better not stepin

It was ok but others much better in Farnworth. Sorry but I was so disappointed after others liked it here.

Really nice South Indian food. Not the usual same sauces you get in other restaurant. Portion sizes are just right. Try the Keralan paratha. Very authentic. The staff are very friendly. Maybe ask for recommendations if you aren't familiar with South Indian cuisine. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent food, very authentic. Ordered tonight for the first time and have been blown away at the quality. It's well worth a try!

Lovely food! Highly recommend it. Far better than Dishoom in manchester at half the price!

Food was not good up to my expectation

It's one of the best authentic Kerala restaurants in the Manchester area. Food was good and so was the service.

The Kerala food here is authentic and delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend!
