The best restaurants in Sudell Blackburn with Darwen North West

First time visit here after meaning to try it out. We went for a soup and chilli 'pasty' each with a coffee. The soup was thick, dahl style and nice tasting. Chilli pasty could have upped the flavours and spice, a little bland. I'd also name it a calzone as it was like thin pizza dough than pastry. The coffee was superb, easily the best in darwen. Certainly recommended from me.

We actually travel from the Isle of Man to Ollys Kitchen to eat the best cooked breakfast anywhere on the planet. The staff are super efficient and very friendly. You can sit in or take away and the food is excellent. Whilst we were there they were constantly providing breakfasts, sandwiches and hot meals for a large amount of customers, providing a personal service for each person. You won't get better service anywhere

Me and my partner went for the first time yesterday and as soon as we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome by David who we now know runs the restaurant with his wife and a team great staff. The food was delicious and freshly made. It was relaxing and spotless and anyone who likes good home cooking at a reasonable price won't be disappointed. We will definitely be back. Darwen's best kept secret.

Love coming here and sitting out in the sun. Great location! Love the rhubarb cider and tried the cherry beer this week and that was lush too, definitely felt it being 8%. Thankyou for our visits.

Gorgeous food & drinks. Excellent place to celebrate my birthday!

Went last night after we couldn’t get a table at one of the more established Darwen restaurants, and we are SO glad we did. This little gem wiped the floor with anything we have had elsewhere. Friendly and attentive service, nice ambiance, and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were substantial, and clearly prepared with top quality ingredients. This is now our ‘go to’ Indian in Darwen 👌

Best Indian food in Darwen. The gentlemen who have always worked there are always so lovely, polite and professional. Last night they had a young member of staff front of house who I had never met before. He lacked knowledge, was confrontational and rude. I requested a mild saagwala which he corrected me and said "we don't do a saagwala" I said you do its on your menu. He tried to correct me and said "we do a saag not a saagwala". I said it's the same thing. Then he was really insistent that I had rice and chips which I insisted I didn't want. Then when I arrived the receipt didn't state "mild" so I questioned it. He said "all saags are mild" I said they aren't and your menu literally states "medium to hot". I wasn't sure if he was speaking to me like this because I was a woman. But it made me really uncomfortable and upset me. Especially when I have never had a bad experience over the last 8 years of going here... Because there are no prices online or on their takeaway menu (which is bizarre, it made me feel nervous, like i was being scammed - especially after how he was talking to me) I requested the normal menu to cross check which he got a little nervous over. It wasn't correct but it was close enough that i didnt say anything. But really prices need to be transparent online and on their takeaway menu especially since prices everywhere have increased. This situation sadly put me off but I do also know how great it has been in the past. He might just need some training from the original staff but i wont be interacting with him again.

Lovely place, lovely staff. Love it everytime 😊

It shames me to admit I have lived five minutes away from Black Olive for a year and only recently visited for breakfast for the first time. It's been a few days and I returned for a breakfast muffin and told the lovely staff it was better than Maccie's - because, truth be told, it absolutely is (and I love a McMuffin). All in all, both visits I have been incredibly pleased with the service and the food, and will be a more regular customer.

First visited a few months ago and it was delicious and tried a take away this evening and it was just as good. Absolutely amazing food. Lovely staff too. If you're a fan of King Prawns, the King Prawn Bangla is a must!!!!!! Will definitely be back.

Been coming here over 20yrs, never had a bad experience.

Food was just ok, ordered mixed starter and 2 mains not worth the money I’m afraid

we love this place foods great, but last couple of times iv ordered the peri peri full chicken as a meal and somethings been missing this week it was chips so sad coz foods so good

I’m not a believer of giving bad reviews but have no choice on this occasion. Take away, worst ever, kebab not cooked, bread undercooked. Tried to call and explain but some how they couldn’t understand even thou they could to take the order. Last time!

Very disappointed tonight with my takeaway.the crispy beef was soggy and the sauce wasn't tasty just over powered with garlic 😫
