THE world's best eateries have been revealed and, sadly, none are in Blackburn.
But that's not to say we don't have our fair share of places serving up good grub.
As three UK eateries are hailed at the World's 50 Best Restaurants awards in New York — The Clove Club in London's Shoreditch, The Ledbury in London's Notting Hill and Heston Blumenthal's Dinner within the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Hyde Park — we decided to check out which restaurants tantalise East Lancashire's tastebuds.
Here are the top 10 restaurants in Blackburn, according to TripAdvisor reviews.
1. Kebabish Original - K.O. Blackburn
Kebabish Original in Whalley New Road serves 'proper tasty curries' and is 'well worth a visit', according to customers on TripAdvisor.
2. The Spread Eagle at Mellor
The Spread Eagle at Mellor serves up “good food, good value and good service”. What's not to like?
3. Calypso Caribbean Restaurant
The Calypso Caribbean Restaurant is a hidden gem of Blackburn. Situated on the canal in Eanam, you can treat yourself to 'lunch or a night out.'
We highly recommend the goat curry - it's delicious.
4. The Observatory
The Observatory in Old Bank Lane serves 'brilliant steaks”. That's enough to get us there!
The 'excellent service and staff' is another reason to visit this Blackburn gastropub.
5. Oyster & Otter
The Oyster & Otter in Livesey Branch Road is a stylish modern gastropub with a seafood-led restaurant and a fish-and-chip takeaway. Enough said there...
6. The Bay Horse
Two TripAdvisor reviews sum this place up perfectly. “Amazing food" at a "proper pub". If that doesn't appeal to you, nothing will!
7. Shajan
If a King Prawn Zaffroni or a Chicken Tikka Jai Puri sound delicious to you - why not try Shajan in Mellor?
TripAdvisor comments include “excellent authentic meal” and “quality food, great service, OK price".
8. Maida
If you're often in Blackburn town centre, you should pay a visit to Maida.
It is described as a contemporary eatery with a no-alcohol policy, serving mocktails and mainly classic Indian dishes.
9. Roomali
A fine-dining Indian restaurant you say? Roomali all the way!
We highly recommend with Karahi Lamb and the Butter Chicken.
10. The Clog and Billycock
The Clog and Billycock is one of the best restaurants in Lancashire, famous for good food.
If you like seafood, you're in here. However, if you're a steak lover, you'll be in your element as well...
