Can anyone recommend a good Indian takeaway in Rawtenstall?

[lucs86]

I've tried a couple and they've been rubbish compared to Burnley, anyone know of a good one in Rawtenstall?

[Steve1956]

Nila....better than any in Burnley

[Wellsy1882]

Went to indian harvest other day

Its no Agra

[buzzclarets79]

Indian Harvest top notch, never had a bad one plus all the staff are incredibly friendly. Regular in there.

[Dodobdobodobo]

Agree with Indian Harvest. Fantastic food every time

[1989_claret]

Spice Master is fantastic. Much better than Nila and India Harvest in my opinion.

[Steve1956]

Went to indian harvest other day

Its no Agra

And its in Crawshawbooth

[FactualFrank]

Not been to Indian Harvest in several years, but it was spot on when I went.

It's Crawshawbooth though and not Rawtenstall if we're being picky.

[Wellsy1882]

And its in Crawshawbooth

2 mins down road

[Steve1956]

2 mins down road

You have obviously never encountered the roadworks or rush hour on that road...many times its took me 40 minutes to get from Crawshawbooth to Rawtenstall

I agree Spice Master is great tho not been to the others

[Damo]

Indian kitchen in waterfoot is the most consistent place I've ever ordered from.
Spice master is far too oily for me.
Nila best place for a sit down or Indian Harvest.
Gate of India is pretty good too.
The only place in Burnley I've ever been impressed with is Premier up colne Rd. Not had it in years mind

"Can anyone recommend a good Indian takeaway in Rawtenstall?"

No!

Indian Harvest isn't what it was. Nila used to be good but Spice Master? Really?

[fanzone]

No.

Can't recommend an Indian takeaway but Brian's of Bacup butty shop is absolutely outstanding, they are faultless with their buttys. Spot on every time.

[FactualFrank]

The classic ask for a recommendation thread.

Love a crispy Bacup Butty!

[Aclaret]

And we're starting to wander, from Rawtenstall to Bacup from an Indian to a Butty

[FactualFrank]

Love a crispy Bacup Butty!

The correct bacon sandwich is almost pink. Underdone if anything.

[Aclaret]

Can you get a bacon butty from the Indian takeaway ?

[FactualFrank]

And we're starting to wander, from Rawtenstall to Bacup from an Indian to a Butty

Haha, exactly. Glad someone with a bit about them got it

Second this!

[Venkys4eva]

Ashoka Restaurant does takeaways and is easily the best Indian in Rawtenstall!

[Stayingup]

Why Indian food? Its mainly Bangladeshi anyway.

[FactualFrank]

Why Indian food? Its mainly Bangladeshi anyway.

Because he likes Indian food.

Who cares

Unlikely to be anything you would experience in Islamabad or N delhi, talking to a friend the other day trying to knock a korma up & adding coconut instant rejection from the true roots, what's served up here is completely different from there, Bradford will probably come closest from the Islamabad side.

[BurnleyFC]

There’s isn’t one that’s better than the best that Burnley has to offer, it’s as simple as that.

I don't think that Islamabad is in India.

[Jakubclaret]

I don't think that Islamabad is in India.

You are clued up on capital countries, well done

[FactualFrank]

I don't think that Islamabad is in India.

As someone who knows pretty much every capital city in the world, you're spot on!... but I sense he'd carried this on and was on about other places such as Pakistan and wasn't talking exclusively about India.

Of course, any curry connoisseur would know that Iran & Pakistan & India also specialise in certain curries & also further on towards China, I think some people on here sometimes are just generally in a bad mood & target certain certain posters just to have a go because of political allegiances but never admit to that.

[NewClaret]

My kids aren’t so keen on Indian so I tend to only have takeaway. I go to Indian Harvest or, more recently, Gate of India which does a mean king prawn tika rogan josh and bhuna.

Also heard good things about Nila and North Street Indian but haven’t been to either so can’t recommend personally.

Pavilion at spotland bridge must deliver to Edenfield and is the best curry house in Rochdale imo

I'm in a great mood, and I neither know or care what your political allegiance is.

Well, that was different.
No, I was agreeing with you, but added a spelling mistake by accident so edited it, but it removed your quote.

Nice smile

[Paint it claret]

Thanks qs I will give it a go

What a shite explanation!

[Wellsy1882]

Indian harvet doing 20% off in sept too early in week

[FactualFrank]

What a shite explanation!

Well... it's the one you're getting

[Steve1956]

Well... it's the one you're getting

Ok carry on with your abuse.

[Jakubclaret]

You certainly don't come across in that manner, you would argue about pretty much anything at the drop of a hat about the slightest thing with absolutely no hesitation.

He's not alone. A few posters doing the exact same tonight.

[Steve1956]

Anyone from Rawtenstall remember the Blue Sky Indian Restaurant on Bank St from around the middle of the 1970s we used to go in there when the pubs shut at 11 and give them dogs abuse...I can't imagine what they were doing to our food in return

[Rileybobs]

It’s not arguing to point out that Islamabad is not in India and therefore hardly relevant in terms of authenticity of an Indian curry. If my mood doesn’t come across as happy then that’s unfortunate, but I’m really not too bothered. Anyway, let’s leave it at that because we’ve been asked to cut the bickering down on here.

I thought I was on the infamous Factual Frank blacklist?

I'll look for people I feel aren't safe. And I don't think you are, so looking out for you.

No such thing as an Indian curry before the partition it was united, apart from religion it still is, slight variations with the cuisine styles, Indian seem to be more vegetable based, Pakistan meat based, Bangladeshi fish based, are we splitting hairs here? You could be blindfolded sampling the differences you wouldn't know.
