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.

The food was ordered at 6.40 for 7.45. The food arrived at 8.35 but who cares when it’s this good! We ordered it expecting it to be 90mins and it’s well worth the wait. The food is freshly prepared, high quality and delicious. The restaurant and takeaway share videos of them preparing the food on social media and it’s all made fresh and from scratch for each individual order. Absolutely incredible. Order from the Balti house immediately. Expect a wait and open a drink whilst you relax. This food is exceptional.

Chef Hussain taught me how to cook curries on his YouTube channel. Just had a take away from there and brought it back to Manchester. It was great. Flavoursome and well spiced. Portions were good and everything was fresh. Will definitely go back.

Well, after never tried here before i thought i'd give it a "bash". Even from ordering over the phone the very lovely curtious gentleman was so nice. Ordered Chicken Tikka Birianyi and mint sauce. Even the delivery man was so lovely. Now for the review of my meal.......Absolutely fantastic, was given a small salad also which i was so pleased about. You guys are so brilliant ..was the best Birianyi ever. Thank you, will definatly order from you again.

Ordered takeaway waited 2 hours for the food and had to phone them numerous times as they didn’t know what was going on with our order. When it did arrive there was no Shish on the mixed grill kebab that we paid for we weren’t informed that they had run out of Shish and no sauce on the kebab as requested. Phoned to tell them and the lady on the phone just said we will give you something extra next time. Poor service tonight

We have been here so many times with us living in Rishton and it isn’t too far, but after last night we will not be returning again. We ordered our food online at around 6pm where we would pick the order up from the store, we had to nip to the Co Op to get some money from the cash machine. We got to the takeaway around 6.30pm and we went in and where told that our food wouldn’t be long, we where waiting for our food. Now seeing as its winter and cold, why on earth did you have Air Con on, it was freezing cold in the takeaway waiting for our food, We could see the cold through our breath it was that cold. Our food wasn’t even ready until 7pm! We had been waiting an hour for our food, the person who gave us our food said a remark on it took so long because we ordered all the sauces, with the prices you charge I think we should order all the sauce. Now when we got home, we plated up our food, the food was cold and honestly i don’t even blame it for how freezing it was in the takeaway. But when we started eating my partner had ordered a Kebab with fries and salad there was no Salad, Which we had ordered. Now when i was eating my large fries, with garlic sauce, chilli sauce, i found a hair in my fries, i didn’t even finish eating my fries because After finding the hair in my fries it knocked me sick. We had another Kebab with Pitta bread no salad, and there should of been Garlic sauce and there was hardly any sauce when the person who gave us our food said “it took a while because you ordered all the sauce” We will not be returning here anymore.

Don't order food from here if you want hot tasty food and good service. I have ordered from Balti House ever since they first opened, my daughter use to work there, always been our favourite. Not anymore. I ordered at 6pm on a Tuesday, thinking be bit quicker delivery, I called at 7.30 as no food, the person on phone didn't understand why we hadn't got our food as the delivery driver had already set off and only had our delivery, we live less than a mile away. Told to call back in 5min if not there. I gave it 10min, rang again, he was apologetic and rang the driver. The driver arrived why on phone. I was asked to check I was happy with the food before driver left and he stayed on the phone. The driver was soooo rude, he walked off and said no your not checking it. I told the person on phone and he went and spoke with manager. Manager came on phone, I asked for the cold food to be taken back and for a refund and he refused and said the food had only just been sent out fresh. I never said it wasn't fresh, but it had been driving round rishton for 20min at least. The driver was rude to us and they lied and the food was cold and ended up in the bin and no refund, what happened to customer rights to a refund. Awful

Ordered a takeaway on the 13th December. I got all my food apart from the garlic sauce I ordered, so I called and was told they would get some to me straight away. Sat here and we had eaten all the food and still no sauce. So I called again and told them there was no need to bring them as we had finished and some of the food it was wanted for had gone cold. So I requested my money back ( I know its not much, but every penny counts these days). The woman who answered the phone wasn't as pleasant as she was the first two times. She said she will call the driver and get him to drop me some change off. I have been going here since it opened and never had an issue and never been spoken to like that by a member of their staff. All other takeaways would have to be shut now before I consider ordering from here again.

After years of ordering from the Balti House Rishton, a constant stream of poor food experiences means we will no longer order from this overstretched food establishment. Its trying to do so much and a recent appalling donner kebab means we will be seeking alternate Indian takeaway. Balti House was good, but no longer.

I placed an order on the way home and was told it would be 35 minutes. We turned up to the restaurant 35 minutes after placing the order and was sat waiting for the order to be completed for a further 25 minutes as they had forgotten about the order! Once we received the food we took the food home and realised there was a missing item, we rang the restaurant up and was told that they would bring the missing item to us. 40 minutes later and the missing item had still not arrived. We rang up the restaurant and was told that they was setting of, we explained that we wasn’t happy and had a response of “ok that’s fine” wouldn’t recommend as customer service was diabolical!

Ordered a takeaway from here, but to say I was disappointed is not the words, it's been a while since I have ordered food from here after the last time my order was disappointing. ordered on there own Web site so there could not be any confusion. asked for donner on a garlic nan chips and can of pop, order arrived quickly but, no can of pop and no garlic nan just a plain nan not much donner meat either salad was just lettuce and onions a slice of lemon and orange never had that before chips where OK I suppose warm enough to eat but I definitely will not be ordering from here again, a lot of people say this is a good takeaway but from my experience its not, I do hope they get there act together because this used to be a really good takeaway

Ordered takeaway over the phone, and arranged to collect. ON collection asked about menus and informed they had none, but menu available to view online. Paid for 2 kebabs and potion of chips, got charged £19,05, thought it was very expensive, but paid and got home and checked menu prices. Definitely was over charged and prices did'nt tally. Called into balti house to sort and of course was informed the boss was'nt in. I was informed by the man behind the counter that I was charged VAT because I ordered over the phone!!!!???? Complete RIP OFF!!!! Even adding vat still meant I was over charged, Also there is nowhere documented about being charged more for ringing and collecting yourself!! Totally illegal........ Will not be going again-- EVER

We had a large party of around 14. The restaurant was quiet and their takeaway was busy and obviously to our party taking priority over our food order. The service was appaling ,rude, and extremely slow ,we had 2 courses and we were there for 3 hours 15 minutes, most of which was waiting for our food and waiting to pay. The waiters were ignoring some quite basic requests you would expect when eating out.I can honestly say this has been my WORSE dining experience in 40 years.. The food when it did arrive was good.Having said that all of our party had a miserable and unpleasant experience . Avoid the restaurant unless you want a very , very long wait with inattentive , indifferent and rude staff.

Foods amazing, but owners attitude stinks. Spent about £120 in two weeks as it’s not cheap and they’ve messed up twice and basically told me I’m lying both times and done nothing about it to help me. Won’t be coming back

We ordered food on a Friday around 5pm, went to collect it as have had to wait ridiculous times before now.... my son ordered a kebab on a naan bread, which is £2 extra, luckily he checked the box before leaving (the orders are quite often wrong), to find it had been prepared on a pitta, queried this and was just given a naan to take home. Staff don't seem to care if orders are wrong, makes us wonder if the management has changed as they used to be a lot better.
