Will stick with dominoes as they can take an order and deliver it hot and correct atleast. Frustrating as it's not the first time, called to mention. Did offer a free pizza but weren't willing to wait another hour after a long day, refund would have stopped this review. Not the first time its turned up incorrect and cold.

The food is first class - best kebabs in Blackburn. The chicken wings & fries are amazing. I've been using Zands for 10 years+ Recently there's been changes to the delivery charges where VAT isn't shown in the prices but added at the time of payment. No other takeaway does this. A bit underhanded & disappointing. There needs to be clarity on pricing & delivery prices shouldn't cost more than prices in the shop.

Use zands on a regular basis but tonight the kebab was one of the worst I have ever had. Donna meat was burnt to a crisp the pitta bread was greasy hardly any sauce overall shocking.

Use zands on a regular basis but tonight the kebab was one of the worst I have ever had. Chicken burnt to a crisp the pitta bread was like a stale piece of toast. Was going to give no star's but the salad was good. If they continue like this they will loose a lot of customers like they have just lost mine

The worst takeaway pizza I’ve ever had. It was undercooked and the topping literally slipped off the dough. Plus a hair was found on the garlic bread which is never nice. For the same price you can get Pizza Hut or Dominos do yourself a favour and just go there.

I have used Zands for many years but tonight you failed badly. Order a large Donner a small Donner kebabs and large chips. Order arrived both kebabs were small and chips was small. Rang to complain as it says on there site ring if you have a problem. Total waste of time they said that the bags that they write on to say what's in them nothing on them the so called large chips were in a box that you just put a burger in and not the box that you put burger and chips in. We no what we get when we order large we order the same thing every time we order. We have taken pictures Zands if you care to see them and will give you chance to apologize if you wish to contact us but I won't hold my breath after the way you spoke to us on the phone

I've been going here 15 years and since they have new people starting every week they get my order wrong every time for the past 6 months . Im writing this now cause this is the 3rd time in a week they got my order wrong . Ordered a chicken & Donna kebab which cost me £10 have about 4 little pieces of chicken and few bits of Donna meat. No sauce hardley, was completely dry aswell. I'm going to stop going now . Shame they can't get the right staff. I'm sick of ringing and complaining.

Just got some food delivered after waiting 1 hour and 15 mins and the food was absolutely horrible. I havent tried this takeaway food before but i certainly wont be ordering again. The garlic bread with cheese, tuna and onion looked disgusting. It looked like the cheese was going off and all stuck together in lumps. The onions were still raw. It didnt taste of anything, just completely bland. I dont want to be getting ill eating this food. I will report this takeaway to trading standards. I have pictures of all the food.

Absolutely appalling food. Tasteless and very bland. Very expensive too. Extremely small portions for the high price. Staff made me wait for a long time. Served people who came later than I did. They was out with order before me! Yet ordered the same as me. The customers didn't order for collection. They ordered directly in the shop. Absolutely shocking. I actually noticed one of the staff members scratching his sweaty nose. He didn't wash his hands and continued to handle food and serve customers. Glad he didn't touch my food, or I would've refused to order. Poor, poor hygiene. Not worth level 4 hygiene rating. Won't be going again.

Hmmmm don't believe the rating this place is a 2 star at best. The chicken was dry and not much taste and the doner meet was very bland. The garlic bread looked good but the top was cooked and bottom wasn't also made before my kebab so by the time I got it, it was cold. Definitely not up to the standard of lots of other places around the country that serve the same food. Won't be coming back again.

So it got to around 11:30 at night and me and my girlfriends dad thought we fancied a good tasty filling kebab. Zand’s was the first place which Popped into our mind as we are locals! Got there and ordered a Mixed grill kebab which states skurer’s of chicken (which is a plural so 2) skurer of lamb and donnar. So driving back home with the smell of the kebab but was we shocked when we got home finding out that we had one piece chicken each and half a piece of lamb... it was basicly a donnar kebab with a little bit of chicken and lamb.... I won’t be attending this takeaway any time soon again as I feel they was to take the piss out of drunk people and rip them off. Don’t be a fool as I will be goin g back tomorrow to complain verbally.

I stopped in for a small cappuccino and a bottle of soft drink. I was surprised by how overpriced both items were, especially considering the size. On top of that, tax was added, which made it even less reasonable for a quick stop. The quality was okay, but definitely not worth the cost. I don’t think I’ll be coming back unless prices become more fair

Only booked the Willows due to the majority of other restaurants not taking bookings due to EID week. Easy to make reservations, not as easy to receive customer service or food to be served. 11 meals ordered, only 7 turned up, the female who brought the last couple of meals out to the table asked is that everything, and before we could say “No, we are missing 4 meals” she had already turned around and not waited for an answer. I thought this member of staff may be a let down to the business when we arrived. The young women had no interest in serving our group of 11, looking at us at the bar and then turning away to carry on chatting to 2 construction workers, It was left down to a younger female staff member to take our orders as well as a male member of staff. Both were polite and took firstly our drinks order and then our food orders. Waited an hour for food, only for it to arrive mostly cold, but over cooked, suggesting the food had been overcooked some time ago, only to be served up an hour or so later. As stated at the beginning the rude female staff member served the last 2 meals and then ignored us after asking us if we had everything. After 15-20 minutes I went to the bar to ask where the remaining 4 orders of food where. The same, rude female staff member firstly tried to suggest that we all ordered our food at separate times and that’s why we were still waiting on food. I explained that this was not the case and the woman just shrugged and repeatedly kept replying “I know, I know, I know to everyone of my questions. The woman at no time tried to apologise or offer to chase up the issue with the food and just remained standing at the bar, chatting to people in the pub she was clearly familiar with. After another 2 visits to ask other staff where the missing food was, 2 meals where served a full 30 after the majority of the food was received. One meal was suppose to be fish and chips, the fish was clearly inedible, grossly overcooked to the point it had curled up for at both ends and had almost formed a circle on the plate. Again it was clear the fish had not just been cooked, it looked like a meal that had been ordered several hours before and perhaps someone had also been fed up with waiting and asked for a refund a few hours earlier (this also happened when another family cancelled their meals after waiting over an hour as we where at the bar inquiring where our food was). The fish most likely had been reheated for a couple of minutes and then re-served, it was 100% not freshly cooked. The 2 male staff and manager where very apologetic and eventually offered some of the group refunds, as well as offering my wife, who was celebrating her 50th birthday a bottle of Prosecco. We realise that a lot of things can go wrong in a pub serving food, but was is unacceptable is the female member of staff’s attitude to customers for the whole time we were at the Willows. Not one apology issued from her, not one iota of concerns towards customers, just breezing in and out, chatting to people she clearly knew, sitting at their tables, chatting outside with them, all while the younger girl worked tirelessly covering for her lack of interest and lack of work ethic. What should have been a lovely evening for my wife was soured by the food situation and the food quality, made worse by the lack of work ethic from certain, well one member of staff. We have visited the Willows 3 times in the past 4 months but sadly we won’t be returning in the future. Food poor, customer service was blighted by the woman supposedly working (it was difficult to tell) and only rescued by the professional, understanding male bar worker and the manager.
