Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"Enjoyed the food. Highly recommend the Lamb Karahi and Lassi."
"Food was amazing the patka pizza was nice and something different."
"The food is amazing! If you want your traditional desi food you have to try Ayaan's Restaurant."
"Lamb chops were some of the best I've ever had but all the different aspects were cooked to perfection."
"Charsi karahi was perfect, just the way I love my karahi. Great consistency, great flavour and perfectly sized lamb botis."
"Food was lovely very authentic pakistani meals. Tasted fresh."
"We ordered the tawa for 6. There was a generous amount of food bursting with flavour and served piping hot."
"The food was really nice, generous portion sizes and atmosphere was excellent."
Cons:
"We ordered tawa for 3 and to say the least the food was average at best. It was over filled with Daal."
"Ordered a takeaway, and ordered mushroom rice with my curry. Got there to pick it up and was told they don't do rice."
"The food was tasty although it perhaps lacked some of the subtleties that I have noticed at my favourite curry houses."
"Ordered lamb charsi after seeing many YouTubers saying it’s good which lets be honest they must all get paid for the positive reviews! The meat quality was so cheap most of it was inedible and thrown away!"
"Both curries on the tawa was decent … the Shish was definitely couple days old by how stale it was … wings were burnt to black crisp with zero seasoning, lamb chops tiny fatty flavourless."
"The samosas were not. We had a lamb Karahi made with ginger. I wish they had used more ginger as I don’t like the ‘sweaty’ smell from the meat."
"Ordered a takeaway first time yesterday and collected ourselves. One tandoori roti and one Naan. But naan and roti need some work were quite chewy."
"First time visiting and won't be the last. Tables booked didn't need to wait on arrival, very well organised, great service throughout, delicious food and very clean."
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Lovely atmosphere and good customer service from all the staff present."
"The waiter who served us was very welcoming and attentive."
"The service was really good, constantly asking if we're ok."
"The waiter was attentive and available."
"The staff was very polite and helpful especially Mehar who took our order so perfectly and professionally."
"Brilliant food. First time tried it. The owner is from Bradford and he has definitely bought the authentic taste in Bolton."
"The love and respect from the staff and the owner Jabs was a beautiful touch. The venue has ample seating and staff."
"Fantastic place,team cannot do enough,food is closest to South Asian home cooking."
Cons:
"Because we went in a group the service took more time."
"Came with 2 of my mates, the wait was long for a Thursday night."
"There was a slight delay on getting shown to our table but not much."
"Had a large party gathering. The service was very poor. 1 table got the food and the others followed 20 mins later."
"Really poor experience today. Ordered a takeaway. The team at Ayaans did not include a main dish which I ordered."
"But the service was absolutely TERRIBLE. Enough to put me off ever going back for the lovely food."
"Arrived to no one to greet us or to get us to sit down had to ask 3 times for the menus and then once ready had to ask to get my order taken."
"Food is ok But.. Management and service is not gud they can't manage a big family and big order they sarve me after order 1 hour 30 mnt it's too late."
Atmosphere and Ambience
Pros:
"The overall ambience of the restaurant was lovely. Staff were very friendly."
"For such a packed restaurant, the noise level was quite tolerable - we were able to easily hold a normal conversation."
"The restaurant can be very busy and as a result the service can be a little slow. But the food is fantastic and worth waiting for."
"Hidden gem hidden behind the Asda, the food was amazing and well worth the price."
"The atmosphere was amazing had an amazing time food was 10 out of 10."
"The food itself has completely a different taste to most curry places and trust me I’ve tried them."
"The atmosphere is very family friendly the waiters are very polite and provided an excellent service."
"Great fresh restaurant food is excellent and staff are very friendly definitely recommend a visit once you have been you will definitely go back for more."
Cons:
"It was quiet warm inside I was sat next to a window but it never had a opening."
"Only minor point was the actual space at the restaurant. Can get quite cramped and a little warm during peak times."
"Much too busy, kids running around wildly, noisy in the restaurant and background music much too loud."
"Went for the 1 year anniversary. Live music was deafeningly loud - I could not have a conversation with my table."
"They stopped selling and serving alcohol but unfortunately they still allow you to bring your own."
"Not impressed - have parked on the Asda carpark numerous times before due to the restaurant being within the compound of the car park. Have now been slapped with a £40.00 parking charge."
"Walked in picked up my food the service was amazing while I was waiting for the takeaway, The food was brilliant. Thank you so much to the chefs for the amazing food."
"Went for evening meal with the family today. Nice greeting from the staff and led us to our table. Food was excellent, very tasty."
