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.

First time we’ve ordered from Freya’s Grill. The chicken chaat was delicious and the balti was really tasty. Definitely recommend and we will be ordering again.

Good presentation but unfortunately most of our food wasn't hot. I was excited to try this place but definitely won’t be rushing back. Prawns didn’t have much flavour. the cod was beautiful if it was hot

Food was good. The Medium spicy level is nothing for an Asian's palate. Go for at least Hot if not Extra hot. Unfortunately, the service was really bad. They took forever to get our drinks order. While we did order drinks for all, we also asked for tap water for all, and they made us feel very uncomfortable for asking. We would be fine if they told us no tap water, and that we could only order bottled water. But instead they kept chatting between themselves, using hand gestures to show "8" - we were 8 pax. And in the end, they only brought 1 glass of water for us. Food took forever to arrive, more than an hour, when other tables who arrived later than us finished their meal before we even started eating ! I really hope they do something to improve their service, cause the food was really quite good, above average !

Good and excellent service. Thanks

Used this venue for the first time with family members for a birthday celebration. The ordering process online was easy, being able to choose a time was convenient and when I went to collect the food I was warmly greeted and the food ready. This was quite a large order and everyone was happy with their food and would definitely recommend and use again. The only suggestion I would make to the online ordering system is to introduce functionality to advise delivery charges (based on post code) so an informed decision whether to deliver or collect can be made before going through the order process.

We booked, half a dozen, for 6pm, arrived early, already busy! Sat in foyer, drinks ordered! Some family & works dos in full swing! Obligatory pappadoms & chutneys - then an array of curries with rice, chapattis, naan & my fave, paratha! All seemed to fully enjoy, bit of dish swapping, lot of goss & yarn spinning. Ready to go around half 8/nine! 2 drinks each, with a good tip for great food & service! £35 each!

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.

the poppadoms was so soft that it could be folded. the chips were like rubber obviously re heated. the madras and nann bread was nice. so sad this is usually amazing food

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!

Absolute rubbish - ‘standard’ Indian menu and choices done really badly. The chicken wrap was inedible and the curry loaded with chilli powder.

I am shocked at how bad this food was. Had many takeaways from many venues over the years, some good some excellent but in over 30 years never tasted anything as poor as this. Was actually inedible
