A few blocks from the South Promenade and the thrills and spills of Blackpool's Pleasure Beach, this neighbourhood Indian restaurant is everybody's idea of an invaluable local resource and ‘brings something a bit different to the local area’. The name means something like 'At the sign of the pomegranate', and behind a leafy-green frontage, the place exudes a family feeling, with cooking that is steeped in the Subcontinent's ancestral traditions and executed with impressive flair. Sharing platters encourage a sense of togetherness (try the yakni Kashmiri pulao served straight from the stove), although most of the menu works in the expected way, with extras of naan breads and parathas alongside main dishes such as Irache dry-roast beef curry with mustard seeds, punchy sarson prawns in coconut milk and poppy seeds or a special family-style lamb curry that takes influences from Rajasthan and Kolkata. You might preface these treats with Darjeeling chicken momo (dumplings), tand...

You might preface these treats with Darjeeling chicken momo (dumplings), tandoori wings or the unmissable lehsuni houmous – textured with garlic oil and the pop of pomegranate seeds, served with tandoori roti. Desserts herald some of India's aromatic classics including mango and cashew kulfi, ‘tres leches’ kheer (rice pudding) and pistachio crème brûlée. 

Other attractions include a highly popular supper club and a proper Indian breakfast/brunch offer, complete with naan rolls, chilli cheese toast, pav bhaji and Indo-Chinese noodle-based ‘masala Maggie’, all washed down with chai and lassi. Varietal wines do their job, while fruity cocktails offer a true taste of Blackpool.
