Passage To India

Passage to India is our favourite Indian Restaurant in Ormskirk. My husband and I are both vegetarian and they have a lot of vegetarian options available.
My husband can’t resist the Vegetable Thali which consists of at least seven to eight small dishes on a platter and I always choose the Vegetable Exocitica which is a mild curry they are both equally delicious.
No room for desserts as the meals are quite adequate. The staff always give you a warm welcome and you do not have to book.

‘Passage To India’. It all sounds very exotic, doesn’t it? Not quite so in reality though, I’m afraid. The ‘passage’ in question is in fact a small passageway down the side of a Bargain Booze that leads through to their restaurant.
From the outside, Passage To India doesn’t really look that glamorous at all either, with the brown brick building it’s situated in making it look more like a mill than an Indian restaurant.
Thankfully, the restaurant setting inside is much more cosy and comfortable, with the waiting-​on-​staff there ensuring your every need is seen to whilst you are in their company. The menu features all the finest dishes that you’d expect from an Indian restaurant as well as including some more extravagant choices for the adventurous amongst you, all available at a decent although not too cheap price.
Passage to India it might not quite be, but passage to a full and satisfied stomach? I think so.

A Passage To India… no doubt named after E. M Forster’s famous novel. This lovely restaurant and takeaway is tucked away near the centre of Ormskirk’s bustling shopping area.
Offering all traditional Indian cuisine, from set meals to sides of bhajis and samosas, you can get a quality dinner here. The restaurant is very family orientated and has a nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly and like to crack jokes with their regulars.
I didn’t enjoy the décor in here, though. I’d say it needs a touch of updating!
However, the food in here was of a high standard, and I would order takeaway from here rather than eat in the restaurant.

very average. needs some money spent to improve the surroundings. food ok
