I’m here early doors on an icy cold night so everywhere in town is very quiet. Friendly, helpful staff are on hand to serve an excellent, freshly cooked two course meal full of flavour. Even the Cobra was on top form. Another satisfied customer Many thanks

What a find. First time eating here and got to say wow. Portion size was amazing. The mixed starter for two people was delicious, proper homemade kebabs pakora and bhaji plus chicken and lamb. A meal for four people was reasonable, priced with drinks. Will definitely visit again.

Just finished eating a delivery after trying the Bombay Balti under new management we think. They have a very good food hygiene rating and we ordered lamb Saag, vegetable curry and vegetable rice. It was really easy to order online and the delivery arrived 20 minutes later. It was really delicious and we will be ordering again. Well done! As an update we went to the Bombay Balti for my birthday last night. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and the decor perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Indian is my favourite type of cousine so I do admit that I could be a bit biased. The three meals ordered were Chilli Masala, Murgh Josh and Chilli Fry. All the dishes contained a lot of exciting flavours. Chilli Masala was so good that I kept reaching for my friend's portion and kept trying it, I returned a week later to have a portion myself. The Murgh Josh perfects the taste of garlic which I personally cannot reproduce at home. Chilli Fry with garlic chicken tikka was the dish I ordered and I was blown away. The garlic naan had the right texture and was also amazing to dip in the large pot of Chilli Masala sauce. The dishes from Chef's Specials section were all around 13 including rice, which is perfectly reasonable as the serving is large enough for two people and the quality of the food definitely lives up to and easily exceeds the price. The friendly staff only complements the experience. I am sad that I haven't discovered this place earlier, but from now on it will be my usual Indian of choice.

This is the best place in town for Indian food!! I'm amazed at the rating but know they are all old reviews from before it changed hands. This is my favourite style of food and we have tried everywhere over the years, we now have Bombay Balti every Friday without fail and have for months. We've never had a bad meal, my Mrs likes to stick to tikka masala whereas I like to sample the menu, I haven't found one yet that I didn't like. Each meal is bursting with flavour and the portion sizes are great, we get 2 meals out of a main and side each. This is for takeaway but have had a sit down meal with them a good few times, they do an excellent job of making you feel comfortable while tending to your needs, the food and service is second to none! Massive thank you to Taj (hope I have spelt this right) and the rest of the team, keep up the good work

Burned my face off with a madras here the other night. It’s my first proper curry in the UK for about five years, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to get back into it. The portions are decent and the prices are good. Beer is available. The staff are very friendly and accommodating too. Definitely recommended.
