Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went for a birthday meal 15 people in total right from the start it was a very poor experience. 15 people made to sit in the waiting area for 20 mins, we was the only people in and I can see why. We had to...ask to be seated. The bar prices are an absolute rip off £17.40 for a double vodka and a pint disgraceful can get cheaper in London. It was absolutely freezing inside people had to keep their coat on to keep warm. Asked to turn heating on and just got a funny look. Service was absolutely awful, very rude, very pushy, one waiter was very arrogant, Food was ok but overall very bad experience. Overpriced, bang average food, rubbish atmosphere. Lot better places than this won’t return or recommend.More

Still as good as ever. Attentive friendly staff, delightful authentic food and the Chicken Hundi and BaltiStan special dishes are superb. Good food as tasty as ever (same chef apparently) and Owner Haroon runs a tight ship..highly recommended. Terminator

Came here for 70th birthday meal for my mum. There were 13 of us. Excellent service and the food was outstanding. Pickle tray was good. Some of the sauces I’d never tasted before but they were good. All the different naan breads were cooked to...perfection and the wines were in big measures, no half glasses here 😂. We all loved it.More

I've not had a takeaway in some time and this is the first time in a long time I've not been disappointed. I've not eaten at Balti Stan for several years and after moving to the area I tried it for a Saturday night takeaway....It was delicious! We ordered a Chicken Tikka Madras and a Chicken Tikka Karahi with Garlic Naans. I couldn't fault it. The sauce was plentiful and not watery, the chicken was good quality thick pieces really well cooked. The naan bread was good sized, not burnt or under cooked. I also ordered a Balti Special starter that was delicious. It cost a total of £30 exactly which I thought was good value for money. I'm looking forward to going back and trying something different.More

From a friendly welcome to great food and superb service. We were staying at the nearby Mercure and the restaurant was busy and we fancied an Indian meal. What a great choice. So give this place a try

The service provided by the staff here is very good. They are so friendly and move rapidly to provide drinks and a menu. The food is constantly of a high standard both in quality of produce and also taste. My partner has a vegan diet,...and they always accommodate her requirements. It is always an enjoyable experience.More

Sunday Buffet - Disappointed. Very basic food, no poppadoms, just onion bhaji and some potato rosti as starters, 3 choices of curries for main including a chickpea curry. Naam breads poor. Used to be really good, but the lack of customers and a poor atmosphere...tells its own story. Living off past reputation. Won't be returning.More

Both dishes were excellent. The service is friendly and...professional. We won’t leave it as long until our next visit.More

Absolutely furious!!! If I could give zero stars I would. I Rang up at 2pm and booked a table for me and my 2 boys at 5.30pm for the Sunday Buffet. I advised the staff member on the phone that the table was for 1...adult and 2 babies..no issue! I even rang at 5pm to ask if they had x2 highchairs (so that I wasnt bringing the pram and taking up lots of room)..yes no problem. I arrived and as soon as we came through the doors the manager came out and refused us service. Told me there was no tables. I told him I had rang hours previous to book, he said sorry we cant give you a table for just you and 2 babies we have the buffet on. So I told him yes thats why we're here and why we booked a table..for the buffet. I asked if he was the manager, he said yes. I explained I dont understand why I am being refused a table when I booked and the restaurant was pretty much empty. Then he said it was because my eldest was crying to which I said yes because he has autism and he doesnt like me putting him down on the floor, he likes to be carried at all times so once we get seated at a table he will be fine. He still refused us. Anyway long story short I was absolutely livid because I had wasted £6 on a taxi to be refused service to which the manager did pay the taxi fare back. (Which I know he only did this to hurry me out as he could see I was getting quite agitated). I ended up making my way to Hyndburn Bridge just down the road as the kids were hungry snd had not had any tea due to me planning to go to the Balti Stan but I CAN DEFINITELY say I will never return again to Balti Stan with or without my children. What shockingly rubbish customer service!!!! I fully recommend Hyndburn Bridge, I've been a few times and they're more than welcoming and accommodating. Now I didnt let the altercation with Balti Stan ruin our family night but I would definitely avoid if you're a single parent with a baby! What an absolute joke! Ps. Before anyone says 'its because the eldest was crying and its a restaurant where people want to enjoy there food'. The minute my eldest was sat on the seats near the entrance waiting for the taxi home he was silent and we was still refused a table. ++ the fact I have supervised in restaurants and also worked in hospitality for years so I thoroughly understand the situation. We wasnt even given chance to get through the door nevermind sit down and get settled before being refused service. I would of completely understood if we was sat at a table with my child causing a disruption to other customers. Seems they are very much money orientated and once they had seen I had a 2yr old and 6month old baby they refused a table in hopes they could cater for a bigger family and make more money. I have never once been refused service or entry to a restaurant or food place. I will be reporting this to the Trading Standards and also the Equality and Human Rights Commission for discrimination. I am absolutelt appalled at the service and embarrassed to say the least with the commotion the staff caused. I had roughly 5 staff members all stood behind the manager looking at me like some sort of criminal.More

I am not sure how much passing trade this place attracts. You could easily be forgiven for driving past as it doesn't look too promising from the outside, sadly that would be your loss. The photos of the inside speak for themselves but pleasant surroundings...aside, the food is what makes this place. On our Monday night visit we couldn't find fault with anything unless you think too big a portion is a fault. The service was excellent, the result was we had a great night here. Slightly pricey but well worth it.More

Some meals stick in the memory and this one will definitely stay in mine for years to come. Words can't sum up just how bland and tasteless this was, I can forgive one bad dish but for every item ordered to be this poor is...shocking. Save your money and get a cheaper Asda takeaway for two, it might not be great but you will enjoy it more than food from this place!More

Ordered poppadoms, chicken tikka masala, rice and a naan bread. Came with some liquid imitation of mango chutney and some yellow liquid. No chili sauce or other dips. The curry was a sweet red yuck. All for £20. Not a bargain
