Amir Khan and brother Haroon surprised diners at two of the newest venues in Blackburn earlier this week.
The Bolton boxers were at the new MyLahore Restaurant with friends on Tuesday where they met with management and Bradford West MP Naz Shah - whose constituency is home to the restaurant headquarters.
Later in the evening Amir visited the Q Lounge Entertainment complex and diner in the centre of Blackburn.
At the MyLahore restaurant he met staff and took pictures with star struck customers.
After strolling into the kitchen to greet chefs he said: “The food here guys was amazing.”
The new 130-seater restaurant MyLahore, based in the old Red Lion Hotel in Whitebirk Road, opened its doors earlier this month after extensive renovations were made to the oldest pub in town.
It is the sixth MyLahore to open in the country and comes almost 20 years since the first MyLahore launched in Bradford.

Later, he popped into the Q Lounge for a while, which officially opened earlier in the summer.
Here, he showed off his punching power at an arcade punch machine in the gaming area alongside staff and friends.
Renovations at the Q Lounge on St Peter Street off Darwen Street began in 2019 and the venue opened three years later after a £550,000 transformation on the spot of a former Switch nightclub. The venture created 60 jobs both in full-time and part-time roles.
Earlier this week, Amir also joined former footballer Gary Neville at a famous pasty shop in Bolton.
Marie Walsh of Ye Olde Pastie Shoppe was bowled over when Neville and Khan dropped by to record for the popular The Overlap podcast.
Former Manchester United legend, Gary, now a Sky Sports News pundit, met up with local superstar Amir at the shop on Churchgate to discuss his life and career.
