Review: Premier Curries, Burnley

11:38am Friday 14th October 2011 in Burnley takeaways By Kimberley Hall, Online reporter

Lancashire Telegraph review by Kimberley Hall from October 14, 2011 ADDRESS: 310 Colne Road, Burnley NUMBER: 01282 411777 A LONG week at work more than justified a lazy takeaway Saturday.

After a couple of recommendations we decided to give Premier a try.

We avoided falling into the usual trap of spending a fortune only to throw loads of leftovers away, and my partner and I decided on a curry each and rice to share.

Then came the difficult task of choosing which.

The retro favourites, popular curries and specials all sounded appealing.

We settled on the medium/hot lamb South Indian garlic (£5) and the hot king prawn naga special (£7.50).

The hour wait we were quoted turned into an hour and a quarter, but it was worth it.

I plated mine up and waited for it to cool down a bit while the other half tucked in.

His was ‘lovely and spicy without being too hot with plenty of lamb’.

Mine was very tasty, similar to a jalfrezi but minus the green peppers and with a few chunks of fresh tomato.

The king prawns were full of flavour and all I left were some green chillis that defeated me.

I usually have a moan about the rice not being included, but as the curries are such good value it wasn’t an issue at £14 for the lot.
