East Z East - Blackburn with Darwen

My partner and I recently visited EastzEast in Blackburn for a night out before attending a Kevin Bridges show. The timing was perfect, the atmosphere was excellent, and we all had a great time. However, I will go into more detail about that in my review of Kevin Bridges. Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was quite terrible. The service was a complete failure. When we arrived, there was no welcome or greeting. Fortunately, our friends were already seated in the bar area, so we joined them right away. From there, we experienced long wait times reminiscent of those at Alton Towers, along with service that felt neglectful. We had to request to be seated, 15 minutes after our reservation time. We had to guide our server through taking our order. We had to guess which items were available. In the end, we had to take our main courses to go because there wasn't enough time. We thought that 2 hours would be plenty of time to feed a party of 6. The food was mediocre, not up to the standards of other EastzEast locations. It was clear that there was poor service, average food, and a lack of training. However, Kevin Bridges' show was fantastic.

We had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant. Everything was perfect - from the attentive and friendly service to the delicious food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely and dining here truly felt like a special treat. We will definitely be returning in the future.

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and it never fails to impress. Vicky is extremely helpful and incredibly friendly, as are the rest of the staff. I tried the tawa dish and it was fantastic. I will definitely be returning again.

Really disappointed with our visit here. No draughty beer on offer only bottles. The starters very strange garlic mushrooms were like a soup and onion bahjies were like samosas. My vindaloo was very nice but mixed reaction for everyone else’s meals very bland with no heat. The service was fine but two meals arrived ten minutes after everyone else. Unfortunately we will not be revisiting this establishment.

Had a meat tawa which was delicious, inside decor was lovely, service was brilliant all the waitresses we’re so nice always checking up, will definitely be returning soon.
