Barton Bangla Brasserie - Preston

Lovely reception great hospitality, nice beer. Personally prefer a spicy taste, dishes we chose, four of us went were varied but some more sweet than we would normally go for! Wouldn’t hesitate in going back but would avoid the sweeter options. Enjoyable experience, very attentive.

Made a small order for 2. Owner was there in the takeaway lounge section and he was a brilliant guy. The lounge was really comfortable, I could have eaten my meal there it was that nice. They threw in free popadoms, which for a meagre £15 order was very kind. Garlic and coriander paratha was one of the nicest we’ve ever had. Kabuli with the chickpeas was fantastic. This restaurant has been going strong for as long as we’ve lived in the area and it’s never lost its sense of community spirit or standards. We haven’t eaten here for a few years but will make sure to come back soon. Great place and great menu too.

My sister introduced us to this restaurant years ago and now every time we visit her we insist that she books a table for us, and we’ve never ever been disappointed. I’ve tried a few things on the extensive menu, most recently the Lamb Ampasha (which is now my favourite, it is truly delicious! and all have been great. Portion sizes are just right, naan breads buttery and fluffy and service also is excellent friendly and efficient. If I lived nearer I’d be in there every couple of weeks and never get tired of the menu or experience its awards are well deserved.

Absolutely horrendous customer service. The manager in particular was patronising and behaved disgustingly towards myself and my girlfriend. They even got the order wrong. We didn't want to make a scene during the meal so we waited until the end of the meal to speak to the manager and explain that we didn't appreciate being spoken to in that manner. He then proceeded to do exactly the same again. Appalling all round. I would avoid at all costs. Much better India restaurants in the local area.

All the dishes tried were extremely flavorful and the group I enjoyed the food with also said the same. I would go as far to say their butter chicken is the I've had, and that is not an overstatement. Their take on the peri peri chicken is something I've not tried elsewhere and would be one of my new go to dishes. All round a great place with delicious food. I would love to dine in next time to get the full experience and try some more of their cuisine. Safe to say I'm eager to plan a trip back very soon!
