ANUKHA INDIAN TAKEAWAY

Right, if you're after a decent Indian takeaway in Southport, give Anukha a look. It's technically in Ormskirk, but let's be honest, that's basically Southport. They've got a 4.7 star rating on Google from over 200 reviews, so people seem pretty happy. I've had a few cracking curries from them myself, good solid stuff.

It's definitely more of a takeaway joint than a fancy sit-down place, so probably best for families wanting a night in, or couples grabbing a bite. The menu's pretty standard Indian fare, but they do it well, and the portions are a good size. I reckon it's a safe bet for a Friday night.

The lads in there are sound, always up for a bit of a chat while you're waiting. They're open every night except Tuesday, from 5 'til half ten. Give them a ring on 01695 570371 to order, especially on a weekend – they can get a bit busy.

One thing to remember: it's cash only, so hit the ATM before you go.
