"The family and I visited the Artisan cafe for a drink following a walk on the moors. . The cafe boasts a convenient location in Darwen town centre, a great selection of drinks, and stylish decor. Service was great thanks to a friendly host, however the cafe itself was very quiet but it was a Sunday so this is likely to be the reason. . Definitely return when walking in and around the Darwen moors. Price per person: £1–10"

"Food was nice, but overcharged on the bill. 3 people and 2 rounds of the same drinks, so not a difficult thing to get right, but the main thing was we got a set menu where it said you could choose any main course except Chops, King Prawns or Special, so I avoided those deliberately. There was a section on the menu called 'Special Dishes ', so I ordered a dish from a different section and not chops or king prawns. Got £3 surcharge on the bill and got told oh but we consider this a special too even though there was no indication of that. Manager argued with me and tried to belittle me by saying no one else has ever mentioned it . Also, standard of English of one of the staff was poor. I asked for a dessert menu and he said ok. A few minutes passed and we got brought the hot towels like you usually get at the end, and I asked him about the dessert menu again, and got an incomprehensible reply, and then we don 't do desserts so I just said, ok the bill please."

"We had left Dolly's Tea Rooms across the road as we were very disappointed in them (see review that I left! We only noticed Zest Café Lounge as we were driving away, and decided to call in. How lovely! Very attentive waitresses and good snack type menu choices. The table was cleaned as soon as we sat down although we were told it had been cleaned already. Didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Everything was very fresh, and really tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed eating at this friendly little cafe. Well definitely be back!"

"My visits to see my elderly parents in Blackburn have in the past couple of years been enhanced by visits to this simple lovely restaurant. It feels out of place surrounded by take aways offering processed foods such as Kebab and Burger, or fried chicken. On 20th December 23 my partner and I took a table and enjoyed the most flavoursome peppery Rasam followed by Prawn and Mango curry, Brinjal Masala, a thin King Fish steak packed with flavour, some Appam and Rice. This was my fourth experience of Thira (other than visiting Santorini! . On each visit the waiters and waitresses have been as friendly and efficient as the food is exquisite and tasty. It has been This is quality food not fast processed food; sometimes it takes a good while for the food to arrive the price reflects the costs that this involves. As an occasional treat it is well worth it for me. I hope that the sibling venture in Bolton succeeds and that this wonderful Blackburn branch continues to delight diners for many years to come."
