About Us

Lancashire’s Best - Middle Eastern Restaurant – Khayal

Close your eyes. Breathe in the scent of slow-cooked lamb, aromatic chicken tagine, and freshly baked flatbreads. That’s the Khayal experience—a culinary journey through the Middle East without leaving Preston.

At Khayal, every dish tells a story of tradition, spice, and celebration. From our meticulously 24-hour-marinated Chicken Mandi to our famed Mixed Grill Platter featuring tender lamb chops, kofta, and smoky chicken, we serve flavours that linger in memory long after the last bite.

Our menu honours authentic Middle Eastern recipes, crafted with passion and fresh, halal-certified ingredients. Whether you’re dining with family or enjoying an evening in Preston’s only late-night shisha garden, Khayal promises an immersive experience of heritage and hospitality.

    I really love this place. Friendly staff (you are my friends after all those evenings here), good and well maintained shisha, delicious tea, tasty food and lovely atmosphere (the photo has been made in off-peak hour, there is many people usually). And really reasonable prices.

    Been coming here since 2019, never a bad meal. Service and friendliness is faultless. Food is always consistent. A great gem!

    We were visiting Blackpool from London over Christmas vacations and a friend highly recommended this restaurant and all I can say is what a hidden gem. The food and service was amazing even on Christmas Eve. The portions are a good size and we ordered the meat platter and some cold starters and must say was superb. Highly recommend this place and worth a visit and shall be coming here again if visiting Preston. A worthwhile drive from Blackpool.
