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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

“Lovely bit of curry” - my husband. We visited here during a weekend break, the restaurant was packed so you know it’s good! We were served by attentive and polite staff and the food times were very quick! We had vegetarian korma, vegetarian rogan josh,...two portions of rice and a cheese naan. There were lots of vegetarian choices on the menu, including the option to upgrade vegetable sides to mains. The restaurant was clean and the price was reasonable. What more do you want?More

Ordered for the second time from here, both times forgot the rice. This time the food was awful tandoori mixed grill was dry and tough, korma was all sauce and not much chicken, peswari nann was ok and only decent part was the poppadoms and...pickle tray. £40 just to be thrown in the bin. Never againMore

We went in by chance. They had a table available. Seems reservations might be advised. Was apparent they do carry out. Food was excellent, even tho i have never had to select & buy my rice for an indian dish, but it was worth it.

A welcoming environment, with a clean modern feel. Delicious poppadoms and subtle homemade pickles. We shared an onion bhaji with a garnish that was fresh and clean. Our mains were "The world's best Chicken Tikka Masala", which we agreed with, and subtle and light chicken...saag. We will return.More

We went with friends. The restaurant was busy and I can see why. The service was great and the food was delicious. Portions are quite big and so we shared some. The hot fish was great. All the food looked really good. I hate going...to Indian restaurants where all the food looks the same. This was not the case here. Definitely worth a visit.More

What’s happened to the pricing ?? This is the first time since they moved a few doors down, the prices have gone through the roof , too many staff lurking about too much wage bills I’d say, had the tikka masala which was nice but...nothing like a tikka Masala , Nan bread was nice, I’ll not return simply down to the price increaseMore

I have been visiting the Balti for 20 years and as a whole the food is amazing but recently we have found it a little inconsistent,. we ate in the restaurant in October 2022 and it was probably the best Indian meal me and my...other half have ever had! The service was great and all the friendly waiters from the years gone by were there and attentive as ever, roll on 5 weeks and we have had a takeaway on 26/11/2022 and the food is definitely below the high standards the Balti has set, the food is lacking flavour and the tikka masala like a very creamy corma! This is the second below par takeaway we have had in recent times and I hope this is a minor blip for what has always been the best Indian in the area. 10 stars for the eat in meal, 2 stars for the last couple of takeaways. Also the delivery is never available to us anymore even though we are within the 5 mile delivery area.More
