The 10 Best Indian Takeaway Dishes to Try in Burnley
Search for an Indian takeaway in Burnley and you'll find plenty of options - but after more than 20 years of cooking for this town, we know exactly which dishes people phone up for again and again. Here are the ten our customers can't stop ordering.
1. Chicken Tikka Massala - £11.00
Britain's favourite curry, and for good reason. Ours is grilled chicken tikka in a unique creamy Massala sauce, served with pilau rice or chips. If you're new to Indian takeaway food, start here - mild, rich and utterly comforting.
2. Baza Roshun - from £8.00
A dish for garlic lovers. Roasted garlic, onions, plum tomatoes and ground spices come together in a medium-spiced sauce with real depth. One of the most popular chef recommendations on our menu.
3. Sylheti Murghi Massala - £8.50
A home-style Bangladeshi dish: grilled chicken tikka strips folded through a thick keema sauce. It's the kind of cooking you'd find in a Sylheti family kitchen, and it's a signature at Tara. Read more about our roots in Bangladeshi cuisine in Burnley.
4. Lamb Balti - from £7.00
Chunky onion, tomatoes and peppers in an aromatic Balti sauce with a few chillies. Local customers regularly tell us it's the best Balti in the Burnley area - hearty, medium-spiced and perfect with a fluffy naan.
5. Tandoori Mixed Grill - £15.00
Straight from the tandoor: a generous platter of grilled meats served with pilau rice and vegetable curry sauce. When you can't choose one thing, choose everything.
6. Butter Chicken - from £8.00
Yoghurt-marinated chicken in a rich, buttery, medium-mild sauce. A brilliant middle ground if Korma feels too sweet but you're not ready for a Madras. See our spice level guide to find your heat.
7. Naga Mirch - from £8.00
For heat-seekers only. The naga is a fragrant Bangladeshi chilli with a flavour all of its own - fruity, smoky and very hot. Once you're hooked, nothing else compares.
8. Tara Special Chille Biryani - £15.00
Chicken or lamb layered with spiced rice and served with Balti sauce. Biryani done properly takes patience - we explain how in what makes a great biryani.
9. Peri-Peri Chicken Tikka Kebab Sandwich - £7.50
Fresh naan, salad, sauce and peri-peri marinated chicken tikka. If you want fast food in Burnley that's actually cooked fresh, this is it.
10. Tara Set Meal for 2 - £25.00
Popadoms, chutneys, samosa, onion bhaji, chicken tikka Massala, meat Balti, naan and onion rice. Outstanding value and the easiest way to try a bit of everything - ideal for a family curry night.
