Ordered takeaway. Biryani sauce was awful. It contained bits of vegetables you would put in the compost bin and it tasted like one. Vegetable samosa contained meat - horrible shock for a vegetarian. Poppadoms were good but the accompanying sauces weren't.Vegetarian options: Not vegetarian at all

Absolutely lovely food. Best tandoori chicken I've ever had. Only put one star for atmosphere because I've always had food delivered. Ordered a few times now and food is always hot and very tasty. I know everyone has different tastes but for me it was lovely.Vegetarian options: Vegetable curry was very tasty. I'm not vegetarian but would have this as a main course.

We’ve been going here for over 10 years,but after tonight’s visit we won’t be going again. Service is now very average and food quality is just average,really disappointing kids running round and the restaurant didn’t look very clean either,such a shame

Food came early which is fine, I found the food spicy but bland, the garlic rice was bitter because the garlic had been burnt, the lamb in the curry was hard which suggests its been cooked well in advance so not fresh. I wouldn't bother ordering from here there's better places out there!

Nice food and friendly staff.

We visited for the first time a few weeks ago and found it acceptable enough to visit again. The food was quite nice and the service and presentation very good. We visited again on Friday and we w totally disappointed. When asked if everything was ok when paying the bill we said yes but we didn’t want to cause a fuss. My starter, crispy, fried paneer was fried. In a dark red thick batter, crispy on the outside and mushy inside, the fish starter had barely any fish in it.The poppadoms were not fresh and the chutney tray not well presented (it was on our first visit) and the lamb main course was chewy. The Nan bread however was good.The waiter was indifferent to say the least and called us mate. When asked for more cutlery for our main course it was sort of dumped on the table, generally sloppy service. We will not go there again. There are at least 2 Indian restaurants we like within walking distance of our house and Balti Bazaar for us is not worth travelling to

Having been to this restaurant several times , it’s always been good value with decent food for the money. However prices have shot up and the quality of the food is average at best. Sadly this will be my last visit

We booked a table for eight guests, we arrived on time but some of our guests were a little late arriving. Once everyone had arrived we then still had to wait between 20 to 30 minutes before anyone came to take our order. We placed the orders and then when the food came out it was brought out staggered so some of us had food sat there going cold whilst we waited for the other dishes to come out. The Balti’s came out with an orange colour (Balti’s are brown!) The “spicy chips” were bland and chewy and not spicy at all and my keema naan was under cooked, stodgy and there was hardly any meat inside. We were recommended this restaurant by a number of people but everyone who came for this meal with us were totally disappointed at the quality of the service and the standard of food and we doubt we would return
The chicken tikka is always dry and not succulent like it used to be years ago, it's tough texture and its happened afew times now... plus the nan breads are way too thick and doughy. Il give them the benefit of the doubt as it does taste nice but every time I've ordered I've been apprehensive.

Great place. Lovely food. Strange to ask for a plate though to eat off but no issue getting one just not naturally brought to the table.Parking: Just make sure you register your number plate when you go in.

Visited balti bizarre on 15th Aug with my partner. Food was the worse I have ever had. Both got food poisoning from this and confirmed today with results of stool samples sent off by my doctor.

Well, have used this takeaway a few times and had been decent, notably the chips set the place above the rest being cooked in ghee, soft and delicious, but this time a complete anti climax as they appeared to look and taste like they were reheated left over stock from a precooked chip shop, major let down on their usual standard but seems a trend in take out dining where establishments are cutting many corners to enhance profits in this harsh economic climate, not worth our ever devaluating currency, thanks but you've lost our custom now cause of your greed.
