The name means something like 'At the sign of the pomegranate'. 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.

Sharing platters encourage a sense of togetherness, but otherwise the menu works in the expected way, with extras of naan breads and parathas alongside main dishes such as punchy sarson (mustard) prawns in coconut milk and poppy seeds, creamy khichri with salmon, or perhaps the special chicken thighs in a ('secret') spicy mix underpinned by garlic, ginger and onion, singing with the flavour and sizzle of fresh green chilli. You might preface these treats with crisp-coated paneer pakora, or the unmissable lehsuni houmous – textured with garlic oil and the pop ...

Desserts herald some of India's aromatic classics including bowls of kheer – soft rice pudding flavoured with cardamom, rosewater, cashews and pistachios. Fruity cocktails, meanwhile, offer a true taste of Blackpool. Varietal wines from a makeshift list start at £17.
