Reviews in Lytham

the Red Fort is an excellent Indian restaurant with very friendly staff and attentive service, lovely decor and a great menu to choose from. Never been disappointed with the food and Ahad, the manager, is extremely helpful and has a greater knack of remembering what sort of curry you l tend to choose.. If you like the sound of a particular dish but it is rated too hot for your palate Ahad will make sure the dish comes out just as you like it. He will even give you flexibility, within reason, to create your own dish if you have a hankering for a certain combo of spices. The restaurant is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. They also do a great takeaway service for you if required and when you come to collect they give you a complimentary drink whilst you wait which is a really nice touch or they will have the food delivered by taxi. This is by far the best Indian for miles around and well worth the visit.

Nice food, lots of variety on the menu and friendly service.

Very disappointed with my first meal returning to the Fairhaven. There were 4 of us eating. (Thursday 7.30pm). We had to wait nearly 40 minutes for food, then a further 5 minutes for the condiments. The gammon was fatty, egg shell in the fried egg, under cooked chips and cheap mayonnaise. There is no wine list and only one bottle of red wine on offer!. The bill was £62 for a very disappointing meal. The plates then stayed on the table for another 25 minutes until I took them all and placed them on the bar. You also need to advertise that 2 for £10 meals finish at 5pm! It then becomes expensive and poor value for what is being offered.

We stopped off in this restaurant for the first time about 4 years ago when my family and I came down to Blackpool for a long weekend from Edinburgh, and we thought the food was exceptional! Easily the best Indian food we've ever had. We specifically hunted down the restaurant when we returned last week because we were so fond of the food, the ambiance, and the first class service we received. We had 4 different dishes, and every single one of them was enjoyed; they even offered us a free sample dish along with our meals as a token of good faith, which we thought was very nice of them! All in all, we loved our time there and if we are down in Blackpool again we will definitely stop into the Red Fort again!

We have used the Red Fort many times and enjoyed eating in and the take away service. Ahad and the staff are very friendly. Good value, highly recommended.

Quite simply the best Indian cuisine and eating experience i have had in the last 10 years. Highly recommended.

Each time I visit, I am always reminded why I consider the Red Fort my favourite Indian restaurant of all time. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff both knowledgeable and friendly. Had a dish once and can only barely describe it? They'll identify it for you. As for the food, in the many times I've been I have never left without a satisfied feel on my lips. Whilst some may feel that the food can take a while to prepare, this is a sign of freshness and quality and truly worth the wait. Having only barely worked my way trying half their menu, you can be sure I'll be returning again and again, with the intention of starting all over again once I've tried everything.

Having used The Red Fort as my Indian Restaurant of choice for a while I can honestly say that this restaurant, whether dine in or take away, has some of the best dishes and best service that you can find on the Fylde coast. Regular specials and an extensive menu mean that there is something for every palette and if you fancy something that you don't see then the kitchen is happy to tailor the foods to your liking to make sure you are getting exactly what you like. Friendly waiters and modern decor tempt you into experimenting with dishes not found in many restaurants and often the kitchen will prepare a free taster meal meal for you to try with your meal to give you a taste of what you can have next time you visit!! When picking up take away there is often a complimentary drink for you, I have never been disappointed with my food or service at The Red Fort and would recommend it to anyone.

Went again the other evening in April 2012. Great food. Each dish different and full of flavour. The chili ratings were accurate and there was plenty to eat. Will go again soon waistline permitting!

The food is great and the staff are always lovely, I come here regularly with friends and family and always enjoy it! Definitely recommend it to anyone!

Well worth a visit. Having had many meals at the red fort over the years, have yet to find something that doesn't suit. Continues to serve excellent, tasty, value for money meals. Very pleasant staff and surroundings. A family favourite.

We have been regulars at the Red Fort ever since it opened, 10years ago. The welcome and attention we receive, the service and quality of the food cannot be beaten, in our opinion. Whenever help is needed, in selecting a dish, advice is always to hand and if the 'spicyness' of any particular dish needs adjusting there is never a problem. Ahad, and his staff, couldn't be more helpful, friendly and accommodating. It is a 'family-friendly' restaurant, with high-chairs available, and youngsters can always be provided with an alternative to Indian cuisine. We always look forward to our weekly visit, usually on a Thursday, and would recommend the Red Fort without hesitation. Keep up the good work boys. See you tomorrow !!

I can highly recommend the Red Fort in Lytham. The waiters are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is fantastic and the ambiance is excellent. The new decor is amazing and this is easily the best Indian restaurant.

Before you go in look around the back it is disgusting the yard needs a good powerwash ,bins overflowing stale smelly water in the gutter .A health inspector should check this, it must not nice for residents to look at this or people passing.

Visited Fancy That in March 2012. It has got to be the worst cafe in Lytham for quality and service. Also the most expensive. Will not visit again and certainly would not recommend.

Friendly service as always, food excellent as always, will be back. Had the early bird which was great value, never had a bad meal.

We use the Red Fort on a regular basis and we are always pleased with the exceptional quality of the food. The staff are also excellent and very attentive to our requirements and also good at recommending alternative dishes for us to try to broaden our curry experience!! I would have no doubts in recommending the Red Fort to anyone visiting Lytham. Give it a whirl - you won't regret it!!

Fur Coat no knickers - overpriced, average food, one party of people left just after meals had arrived saying they were not acceptable......
