Trishna of Whalley in Ribble Valley

Awesome Indian restaurant in the village. Food was amazing and service was very friendly. The location was great within the village, parking is on the street or co-op (pay and display). It's quite an intimate venue, the way it's all set up in like booths so the atmosphere wasn't as good (when we visited) but I would highly recommend it. We shall no doubt be using this place as a takeaway too

The crust on my dish was burnt and I couldn't eat it.. The food itself was excellent

Very tasty food with excellent service. Went early and was only ones in. Highly recommended.

Went on a Monday night with a big group. Service was very attentive and courteous with a good selection of drinks and food. Everyone enjoyed their meal and I’d definitely go again.

Pretty good curry house. Tasty food at reasonable prices. I'd go again.

Food was good but no wow Nice service

All round great place, food was fab and staff very attentive, Restaurant has a lovely quirky feel to it & will definitely be visiting again 😊

Whilst on a mini break @ a local hotel here, we stopped here for dinner on New Year’s Day. The place has a cosy feel to it and the staff are friendly and attentive. We had a pickle tray first with our drinks and then waited just the right amount time for our main. It was all freshly cooked and delicious. We had the Samba?, chicken Biriani and Lamb rogan Josh. If in the area again, we’ll definitely call again.

Are here last night and I have to rate it as one of the best curries I have ever eaten. The staff were so polite, the food top notch and I would have given 6 stars if I could have. 👍

Good food, authentic restaurant, quick service, would recommend and will return

These lovely people very kindly took our order for Christmas day last minute. The food was fantastic. Cannot thank them enough. Made working much more enjoyable.

Will never go here again waited hour an half .stone cold food missing well over priced .rang up not interested 31 pounds later in the bin .beware

The food was delicious and staff very helpful

Really enjoyed a meal for four here. The food was vibrant, plentiful and delicious. The staff are helpful and friendly and the restaurant is welcoming and bright. I always order tarka Dahl as a side dish - theirs is excellent. It closes at 10 pm so allow time to enjoy your meal

My wife and I went here for a meal on the 7/10/23 the starters was very good but our main meal was to hot for up we told the owner it was to hot and without any problems whatsoever they replaced it with another dish at no extra cost and it was amazing very highly recommended restaurant to visit we will 100% be going back thanks guys for a great meal.

Mich better than a few years ago. Had veg thali and would recommend.

A great evening. No need to book. A good menu.

Ordered online, selected my pick up time and it was there piping hot and ready to go. Delicious meal, good value for money and great team in Whalley. We will definitely be going back again.

My wife and I have used Trishna for many years but not as often as I'd like. I have been a customer even when my parents took me as a young boy (I'm 51!) We ordered drinks, poppadoms and mains yesterday evening. I had the Chicken Tikka Naga (extra hot please) and my wife the Chicken Madras. Chilli rice and chapattis. The service, staff and attention to detail was excellent. The food was absolutely fantastic! 😍 The best Naga dish I've had. Thanks guys, and see you soon (including take-away) 😁

Always consistantly great food and crazy staff...never get what you ask for...its so funny....proper 70s style indian food..excellent.x

£6.85 a pint for beer, are we in London.. Cost more than the food.

Great place, lovely decor. Food and service were fabulous.

The team was very friendly and welcoming, however I did fine the service was very slow some of my starters was not as good as they should have been the mains were nice hence the 3 star,

Great service and nice food, good atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Really rude, entitled attitude by staff. I know that the business has been there a while but there is a ‘customer is always wrong’ attitude that isn’t great when you’re providing a service. Take away took 50mins to arrive and despite calling where the phone was put down on me and I was then told after getting through that I was being ‘dramatic’- it’s safe to say I won’t go there again.

Having read many reviews, we weren't sure what to expect, but our experience couldn't have been better. From efficient, attentive and pleasant staff to a meal that was varied in flavour and generous in portion size, the evening was near to perfect. We are looking forward to finishing the food at lunch time! An added bonus was the quirky nature of the Ladies' toilets. Thank you, Trishna!

Abysmal. Ordered £70 takeaway, arrived 45 mins late and cold. Staff denied, put the phone down, shouted at women, and didn’t take responsibility. We took the food back and told us to get out. Appalling and rude - do not use.

Great Service Great Food and a lovely atmosphere 👌

Fantastic food great staff very helpful friendly would definitely recommend 👍👏

Great food, friendly attentive staff. A great place to eat. Wish we lived closer then we would eat here more often.Advised to book table in advance. Thanks Trishna👍

Slightly disappointed in this place originally looked for a different restaurant but came across this on the way and even though the waiters/ customer service was great, the food was bland and boring I expected there to be some spice but it didn’t taste like anything we ordered 3 different meals and all tasted the same. :(

Nipped in for an impromptu meal and was thoroughly impressed! The service from "uncle" Amin (apologies if spelling is wrong) was impeccable, knew the menu offered better options and brought water for the designated driver. Food was great! Tasty and presented very well.

Really good food and the service is always really efficient for the takeaways

Tiny cute shop from the outside but once inside, the place goes back and back. Were made to feel very very welcome with the waiting staff very keen to make sure we got what we wanted even if it wasn't on the menu. The decor is rustic in a sort of Indian version of Thai street food and thi s added to the ambience. Then the bill came! AMAZING!!!! Really great value for money, we couldn't believe our luck. The waiter gave my daughter a lolly at the end so I complained and he gave me one too which made me very happy. Will definy be going back.

Very good Indian, lovely food and friendly staff

Good service and friendly staff but only four pieces of meat in my curry was very disappointing. Sadly won’t be returning any time soon.

One of the best restaurants I have been to in the North West, definitely recommend everyone to visit here. All the food was on point and you can taste all the flavours. Everyone needs to taste the mango lassi too its out of this world. The staff are very polite, professional and very respectful.

Excellent food and attentive staff. We went back 3 nights in a row! Highly recommended.

Been here about 5 times while staying in Whally for work, all curries have been good. So I keep on going back.

Never ever looks as busy as it should because the food is delicious. Definitely I would recommend this place!

Regular at Trishna over last 8 years. Food usually decent but prices have gone through the roof since last visit. My £7.95 takeaway curry had a small sticker on front of the menu saying prices altered.prices in the menu were the old prices! It’s now £11.60! To expensive for what you get unfortunately! Will go elsewhere from now on.

Well as locals we went to the Trishna with trepidation last night the 18th April 2022 after our last visit. All I can say the service was good but not very busy everything but the main chicken dish I thought was nice but we ordered 3 chicken tikka pieces main course we did make comment in the restaurant as to the portion size which was very disappointing honestly a third of the portion we get as a takeaway from another local Indian takeaway. They did offer to bring additional chicken but we declined the offer as by the time you get this you've finished the meal. Trishna you need to get your act together sorry. Our previous visit was the same scenario., we thought let's give them another chance

Excellent grub! Look forward to next visit!

Very disappointed this time, we have visited this restaurant many times in the past. We ordered four meals, all different curries, but all four looked the same, a very unappetising yellow brown colour. The food tasted ok, but lacked any textures, it seemed like the chef forgot to add anything to a stock curry base. We will not rush back again.

Absolutely fantastic curry house. Can't wait to go again.

This is probably in my opinion one of the hidden Jews the food was excellent me and my wife have been coming here on and off for the last 20 to 25 years always very good and the staff are second to none ...so next time you find yourself in whalley go to the trishna you will not be disappointed 👍

Unreal. Go now. You won't regret it

Highly recommend! Amazing food with excellent customer service with a lovely welcoming atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back again

Good service but let down by a very poor kitchen. Popadoms ok, the rest of the food was inedible. We were really looking forward to it and we left disappointed.

Super service and food. Wide range of curries and the chef's favorites which we had were excellent.

Excellent service friendly staff very welcoming. Food was really good and tasty served promptly with a smile and friendly service

Really good food and great friendly staff - Try the special thali!

Second weekend in a row we have ordered for takeaway.Very nice treat!and friendly staff.The lamb jai puris were delicious and the tikka massala dishes were very tasty too!

Good food which is a bit different to other Indian restaurants in the area. The Afghan Jalfrezi is spot on!

I would say it was just a mockery in the name of Indian food. They have a lot of scope to improve taste, quality and variety

Visited this restaurant on a weekend break and was recommended to us by a local pub. Can only say was extremely disappointed. We had a mixed starter which consisted of a Sheesh kebab onion bargi and something else that basically just looked and tasted like a typical beef burger. Over cooked and tasteless. The bargi was like a ball of batter with hardley any sign or taste of onion. The main meal afterwards didn't get any better had 2 different curries but couldn't tell the difference in taste between the two. Bland boring and tasteless. The only positive we could say is that the staff was extremely friendly.

Fantastic food. Staff are very friendly. We will be going again very soon

Accidentally left my bank card and instead of keeping it safe and waiting for me to collect, the card was used twice to attempt to buy from Argos and Foot Asylum for nearly £400. Fortunately my bank contacted me before authorising the transaction and I blocked it. Was definitely left in the restaurant as they confirmed they had my card when I called, after the attempted theft. EDIT. PROOF in writing and verbally via phone call of timeline of events on the Trishna Facebook event. No doubt the attempted theft came from within the restaurant, or at least someone broke in and used the left cards. Read the other reviews, especially their replies, before deciding if you want to dine in this establishment.

There is no need to get personal, poor reviews are just as important as good ones and should be looked upon as an opportunity to make improvements. I think you are missing the point here, it is a customers right to withhold payment for goods or services which fall below expected standards, I think you need to look closer to home for somebody to blame. We have just eaten at the Royal Taj in Langho, what an amazing experience, customer service was first class and am sure some of your "Trishna Team" would benefit from spending time with them to learn about how to treat customers who wish to experience a relaxing meal out with their family. By far the best Indian Restaurant in the area. I would like to think that you would have the decency to alter your reply and tell the truth. Its quite clear that whoever is writing the replies wasn't present at the time and is clearly responding to hearsay. Reading your previous reviews it is clear that we are not the only group of people who have been threatened by yourselves for exercising our consumer rights. If goods or services are below standard the customer can lawfully refuse to pay, how you decide to deal with the situation is something that needs to be improved as choosing to simply lock the door and become aggressive towards the customers is not acceptable. Please do not fall short of telling the truth if you have to post a reply, if you can't tell the truth then it's best not to say anything, we all know what really happened on that dreadful night in the Trishna.

Very average food not much taste.

Good food, with generous portion sizes.

Went for Sun buffet,starters tasted like out of a box.Mains were fairly bland,each curry tasted the same and seemed to only contain chicken.£12 Inc coffee n ice cream,just about VFM...

New Year's Eve is predictably a busy night but an experienced restaurateur should be prepared to manage the situation in an appropriate way. We booked a table that afternoon for 8:15pm, but upon arrival, it was clear that the restaurant was too busy for them to cope. Bizarrely they were also still accepting "walk ins" rather than simply saying, "Sorry, we're fully booked tonight". Some of these were even seated before us and we only got shown to a table at 9:30pm. After a simple starter of poppadoms, our main course didn't arrive until after 11pm – we were therefore eating THREE hours after entering the establishment. A bottle of wine was served, but the waiter said he "couldn't be bothered" to get an ice bucket. Water and a soft drink didn't arrive. The staff refused to acknowledge that the service had been unacceptable. They would not even give a cursory 10% discount to the bill. The front doors were locked and threats were made ("do you want to take it outside?") along with flimsy mitigation such as "You could have walked out" and "The staff have been working really hard tonight". Regardless of whether or not it's New Year's Eve, a certain level of service is still expected. Their unprofessional replies to negative reviews (e.g. remarks about customers’ clothes) speak volumes about their handling of challenging situations. EDIT: Inevitably the reply focuses on a voucher rather than responding to the other valid points. We acknowledged it might not be accepted, so made sure when ordering we presented it to the waiter, who took little interest in it and said “Sort it out at the end”. So they were the architects of the scene when they needed a customer to back them up – who laughably claimed to be their “solicitor”. While eccentric, this voucher (with no expiry) was treated like we had chucked curry on the walls rather than an opportunity for good publicity for the restaurant. They arrogantly ripped up my property, while in a parallel world, a Facebook post entitled “Man uses raffle prize… after 18-YEAR wait!” went viral and the story hit the pages of the Clitheroe Advertiser. This restaurant is perfect for dull people who won’t complain about a 3-hour wait, since they’re clearly not prepared to handle maverick customers – let’s hope Ian Botham doesn’t want to dine there!

Went for the Sunday buffet yesterday at 3 o’clock disappointed to find did not open until 3.30. Then expected food to be fresh and hot found it to be luke warm. Little cubes tasteless chicken in a bland watery sauce did not eat the food. Might as well of put £23.90 down the drain. Will not go back

Beautiful evening, perfect service and delicious meal! I will be definitely returning soon.

FANTASTIC! All I can advise is that you to try it for yourself! Staff are really friendly and the food is authentic and incredible. Will be returning!

Very poor evening. Warm drinks as we arrived. Stale poppadoms, a very strange selection of chutneys. (Had to laugh when one of the pots for the poppadoms came with coconut flakes) Starters arrived with more salad and sauce than food. One of which came with a gravy boat full of luminous green 'mint sauce' as he put it. The napkins were dirty. The main meals (curries and rice) were tiny and had little flavour. The madras couldn't have been spicier than a korma! The ceiling above the bar was covered in slug trails. Just generally a bad experience. We were in and out within half an hour. I feel like I've ingested something wrong.

Very good food. Unfortunately toilet very small

We have had some good curries from here in the past, but tonight it was very poor. It was very bland and tasteless. I'll be going elsewhere for a takeaway in future.

Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back

Me and my family have been to Trishna Curry House many times the food was cheap however the quality was lacking. Unfortunately, I have had bad aftermath with the food occasionally. But the staff was kind and welcoming. I'm not much of a fan of the chicken tikka Massala however my parents were happier with the tandori cocktail massala they had. Their only complaint was that it wasn't seasoned enough for their taste. I will probably come again.

NEVER have i been physically threatened by the owner of a restaurant and his abusive little staff and i eat in restaurants 3-5 days per week...... An absolute disgrace. Having ordered a take away last Saturday evening to discover that the "famous" onion barghi had no sauce or salad with it I called and reported this to the restaurant and agreed that I would yet again go the following day to collect the missing items... obviously this meant we couldn't have our starter with our whole meal. When i arrived the following day to collect the salad and sauce i asked how come there was no complimentary popadomms for my troubles ...only to be responded with a contemptuous..."if you need free popadomms ill get them" by a very arrogant young man.... I didn't need them, but out of courteousy i thought that they'd have offered them. Anyway, i then arranged to meet my daughter and her friend for dinner this evening at 630...to be "greeted" by a barage of abuse by the owner.... who, when i wanted to discuss what had been said to me the on the sunday actually threatenend to "break my legs" if i didn't leave, then subsequently, further verbally abused me and my daughter and again threatened violence whilst outside their property.... What an absolute disgraceful attitude towards someone who had received bad service by his staff, followed by rude service, followed by abusive behaviour ... I'll stick to the Sharjan in future....the foods much better and my limbs don't get threatened at 630 on a Friday evening. BTW, we went for dinner in The Forum 5 doors down from this place and had a great meal with welcoming friendly service ...

Great food with an extensive menu. A warm, friendly welcome in modern surroundings, would definitely recommend

Great buffet would definitely go again.

Great buffet... although quite busy and service not quite as good as it could have been.

THE BEST INDIAN IN EAST LANCASHIRE! This place is very much an Anglo-Indian restaurant located in the heart of Whalley. This restaurant embodies the best mixture of east meets west and this is evident in all aspects of the restaurant from the decor and the very charming staff to the extremely extensive menu which to my surprise offered more non-typical Indian dishes such as pheasant and venison. A pleasant surprise! In all a definite 10/10. My shashlick starter and Thali main were the subject of food envy of all my companions. My new favourite place. Well done Trishna we will be back!

Excellent service and top quality food!

Amazing restaurant, we love it here. Nice little family run place with world class customer service and food, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Far superior than anywhere I’ve tried.

Delicious food and friendly service. Went before 6 pm for the cheap starters and main courses. Had a great time!

Poor service over charged. Will never go back

Fabulous food, brilliant service, highest cleanliness standards. Will go back.

Spot on food and service definitely go back

The service was superb. I was very impressed With the food as it was delicious and was the right sized portions. Everything was presented beautifully and the atmosphere was nice and relax.

Not to bad but the Sunday buffet is a bit on the poor side not much choice and badly laid out especially the starters so I only recommend 3* take it as you find it

Portions were big and amazing. The staff were really nice.

I went to Trishna Whalley and asked for the menu and the variety of Indian Speciality is unlimited and i ordered the food and they cooked faster than other local restaurants and when came the plate extremely clean and the presentation was too good to be true. The curry was Chicken Tikka Massala which the best curry i've had in many years. I got a poppadom platter and which the best Indian snack they had. The waiters were extremely clean and nice. I had a Strawberry Gateau which was fresh and it was delicious. I had a Schweppes (Tomato) with a lemonade with ice. The experience was the best. Overall this was one of the best Indian Curry in all of Lancashire and Manchester. I AM NOT A PART OF TRISHNA WHALLEY GROUP AND THIS AN HONEST REVIEW.

Excellent food excellent service friendly atmosphere

Excellent service and food, highly recommended

Came to whalley on a rare night from thw screaming kids. And as an avid mancunian lover of curry. I was delighted to find thos little gem of a curry house. Lovely staff. Lovely food. If your in the area. Come here. You will not be disappointed.

It is a good place to eat. Food portions are small.

THE FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL TRY IT FOR YOURSELF THE PLACE IS LOVELY AND WARM AND WELCOMING WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR

Gave me diarrhoea and vomiting for a week after. Does it matter if the food was tasty or the decor was good. Had to be off work for nearly a week.

Food was rubbish. Tasteless and bland. Everything tasted the same. Ordered 4 dishes all tasted the same - fried in tomato puree. Good , attentive service though.

From the outside this place looked like a very warm and welcoming local village Indian resteraunt. Once I entered the place and became enticed with it's atmosphere, I knew I would certainly return. Certainly, both me and my other half were not dissatisfied in any way with our food drinks, as I opted for a very tasty tandoori chicken starter and beautifully made Thali for my main, with a refreshing kingfisher beer to wash it down. My other half played it safe, ordering onion bhajis and a chicken Korma which she said was creamy, tasteful and had incredible texture and chose a bottle of rioja as her drink. The staff were all friendly and very welcoming making it a very pleasant experience and I will certainly be back for more soon. Highly recommended!
