Ali's Balti in Corby

This was an absolute find. Back in my youth I would go to a brilliant place just outside Manchester and have an amazing curry with friends. And I have to say until now have not had a curry up to this standard, well until going to Ali's.

Found the main dishes very oily, and not as good as previous meals. A little stumped why it's around £2 dearer per main dish to take out than to dine in. Photos are eat in menu.

I Ordered some food from Ali`s in Corby the food was not too bad but i have to say I'm a bit disappointed and not impressed any more. The prices has increased dramatically and the meat in their dishes are very little, to pay nearly £35.00 for take away and get only a few Pieces of meat in their main dishes is disappointing. I Think its time to change to a different Indian take away.

Really enjoyed our meal a few weeks ago and didn't want to write a bad review but they haven't responded to my partners email of complaint. We ordered food and collected it but the chips were cold, curry was cold and GN bread was hard. We didn't eat it and was a waste which was a shame as we order for collection to ensure it's hot. The previous meal was lovely which is why we emailed to try and resolve but they didn't care.

Weve ordered food from here for years. Never had a bad meal yet. Always cooked well and great tasting food, 10/10 friendly and helpful staff. Tried a few other Indian restaurants, but Ali's is the best around.

Always order from Ali's, definitely the best Indian food, never had a bad meal, staff very friendly and helpful, flavours amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Don’t bother! Staff unable to take a simple order over the phone and then demand you pay for food you didn’t order. Total rip off. This is not the first time and always find the wait for delivery is twice the time you tell you. Food has also gone down hill. Time to try a new Indian takeaway.

Great service friendly plus with a smile 😃

2hours to get a home delivery in which it all arrived cold the chicken tikka masala had 4 bits of chicken in and the naan bread was rock hard phoned up and said all they can do is offer 10% off the next time awful service never again

We collect our curries from Ali's Balti and they're the best in the local area. Great food, great service, always look forward to our next curry!

This is the forth time we have ordered take a way from ALI’s. We tried many different Indian takeaways in Corby, some good, some not so good some absolutely terrible. Our previous orders from Ali’s have definitely been in the high end of good, the meal we ordered tonight was absolutely amazing. Beyond perfection. Ali’s please, please keep up this high standard. Tonight’s meal has set the bar high, so you have your work cut out!! Because of the food tonight we will soon be visiting the restaurant for a meal.

Great food, lovely service, great place to eat and chill out for a hour or so. Staff are excellent, great value for food, food is served in a very timely manner. Excellent, 10/10 I will be back 😀

Delicious food of a high standard. Very generous portions all served with a smile. It may not be the most plush of environments. It was quite dated. However, the food was delicious, and I would highly recommend giving it a go.

Only had takeaway this time but the restaurant was busy when I collected. Food was amazing as usual. Collection was on time.

Ate here before Xmas with my partner and on the whole had a lovely night. Food was quick, hot, flavourful and portion size good. Their service is impeccable and always coming to make sure everything is alright with your meal. Only thing I would say like most Indian resteraunts. If you don't drink alcohol with your meal you have a coke that is usually flat or warm. I wish Indian resteraunts would actually start buying in cans of coke or irn bru to have with your meal...ali's is not the only Indian in town who doesn't have cold fizzy drinks to serve with food..this is my only complaint about what I feel was a great meal. I will be coming back though.

Booked here for a family gathering of 20 people. Staff are amazing and recommendsome good dishes. The atmosphere was really good. Even though the restaurant was full, the food came out all together, hot and fresh. Everyone loved their meal and have said they would come back. Would absolutely recommend going to sit in. We are trying our first take away from here tonight. Thank you to all the staff and cheifs.

We ordered lamb tikka sag chicken bhuna and plain nan with pilau and plain rice , all the food was cold on arrival and the lamb was so tough it couldnt be cut or chewed. The nan bread was dry and inedible . We have had decent food from here before but had to throw most of this in the bin . Very disappointed.

I ordered chicken curry with boiled rice, vegetable samosa, mushroom bhaji, bombay also and a chapati, this is the worst Indian u have had in a long time! Every dish was dripping in oil and couldn't eat it at all, expensive and certainly not worth the money!

Very expensive for small portions. Twice we have ordered from here recently and on both occasions the meals barely had any chicken. I counted 3/4 pieces of small chicken in my tikka masala which is not acceptable for the price of the meal. The onion bhaji was very dry, such a shame as we have been ordering from here for about a year with no issues up until now. Sadly we won’t be back anytime soon.

Great restaurant with decent grub. But. I called and ordered a takeaway for tea, just fancied something hot and spicy. Well asked for naga chicken, bombay potatoes and a nan bread, waiter asked, adult or children's meal, which I thought was a bit odd and replied adult. Well collecting meal OK got home starving, this is going to be good. First bag I opened was chips the next one chicken nuggets dam. I called to let them know and to be fair the guy thought I had said nuggets NO. He offered replace the meal but I was starving and the nuggets weren't too bad. I will use Ali,s again good food and reasonably priced. Tom.

One of the best Indian food I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of Indian in my life.

Never eaten in delivery it’s the best I have eaten fantastic service thank you

Lovely family run Indian. Would recommend the Jalfrezi Balti. Great service and great food.

I had a takeaway from Ali's balti and the food was not good the chicken naga balti chicken tasted funny and the chicken and chips and peas were under cooked and I wouldn't recommend them or place a order as I had to complain about the quality of the food delivered and the peas were hard like bullets and the curry of the chicken was very funny taste like it was gone over or gone off I won't be ordering from this Indian takeaway again.

best restaurant ever, two of the loveliest girls work here with great service! would recommend, never had a bad experience here

Very good food and good all round dining experience. Loads of choice. Something for everyone. Good selection of drinks. Good service and good prices

Absolutely brilliant, totally love your food and fabulous restaurant my absolute favourite!

Never had a bad meal here,always quality service and top notch food. Highly recommended.

Lovely food...delivery times been reasonable...staff very polie

Just had the best takeaway from Ali’s. Was obviously very freshly prepared and tonight was the nicest peshwari naan ever. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food have to cut back on the portion size wow love this place 😃

Staff friendly, we didn't have to wait long for our order, food was delicious. We had booked a table for 5, we had 1 1/2 hours there then was informed they had another booking for that table. It is a small restaurant but very busy with take away orders which we have also had occasionally, food cooked very well, efficient service.

This is an amazing curry house. Staff are always polite and friendly. Delivery driver is always on time and polite. And as for the food, there are no other word than wow!!!! Mmmmmm

Ordered food for collection. Arrived at allocated time and had to wait 45 minutes. Returned home, items from order missing. Unable to get through via phone so had to return to restaurant.

Really poor meat. The chicken was crunchy the lamb was fatty and the poppadoms where stale. I called to let them know and they said sorry. I won’t be ordering again

Every single time I’ve ordered from here, they seem to avoid giving me the things I’ve ordered. They’re useless and I recommend ordering from somewhere else in the area because I doubt they’ll get your order right either

I’ve tried several Indians since I moved to Corby several years ago and never found one I really liked. That has now changed. I’ve had a few takeaways and the other night I sat in the restaurant with a friend. The food was excellent, best I’ve had in ages and the service was good too. Very highly recommended.

The food was tepid when I got home considering I only live round the corner and was driving disappointed because the food is usually hot and tasty

Food is excellent, I am rating this place 4 stars because there has been a few occasions when they have got my order wrong or mixed up. But they sort it out each time and got a free bottle of wine. I would suggest having a takeaway or pre booking a table as the restaurant itself is quite small. but overall a lovely Indian restaurant.

Had a takeaway Sunday night absolutely gorgeous

Amazing food at really good price, restaurant is very small so to avoid disappointment book table. Visited twice and can't wait to return

We ordered a lot of food after want to have some poppadoms but they tasted like they have been dipped in grease not very happy with them

Best in corby, staff are brilliant

Had a decent takeaway - from that recommended

Use Ali's Balti all the time but sorry to say we have just had a takeaway and its was awful! The starter was cold, the mains had leaked in the bag and then when eating them both curries were tasteless and bland. Very unusual and a shame.

Love Alis, great choice, great Chef (s). Staff always pleasant. Keep up the brilliant work AAA+++

Just had my food from Ali’s Balti it was absolutely superb. I have been to Goa a couple of times and thought no Indian at home could compare. I was wrong. This meal was just as good. Well done to you all. 👏👏

Really not impressed. Ordered a takeaway and had to tip the curries and covered with kitchen towel, it was brimming with oil!! This has also leaked all inside the bag and onto my kitchen side. Curry was tasteless. Will not be ordered from here again.

ITS A LONG ONE GUYS - DO I RECOMMEND? - NOT ANYMORE! To say I am appalled, would be putting it lightly. My family has been using Ali's for years. Don't get me wrong, it's a treat kind of thing. Not a regular every week take out. The food and the service used to be absolutely brilliant. I am not sure what on earth has happened to this place, first off the food started to go drastically down hill, but we gave the benefit of the doubt and just thought maybe we they were having a bad night. However, when we would order either once a month, or even maybe rarely, twice in one month if we were having a night we didn't fancy cooking, then we would order from there. But, the food didn't improve. Then, one night last week, I ordered for the first time in months, I put a note on there for the sauces to be done in a specific way, which I always have done, and its never been a problem. Infact, it was at one point offered to me, which is why I've done it since. I would order a load of small sauces (paying the each individual amount) and just note and ask for it to all be put into a big pot after being suggested to me first, so I did it from then on. I then recieved a phone call from them demanding I pay an extra 60p for them to do it like this, which I wouldn't usually have an issue, however if this is the way its been done for the past year or so when I have done the once a month order, then what on earth is the issue now? They then proceded to bark down the phone at me, about god damn sauce. The issue was finally resolved, thanks to the young girl working there and I must add, she is a credit to this restaurant now as frankly, I could see them losing a good chunk of customers without her and I will follow onto why. Anyway, following on.... I recieve my food. One of the dishes didn't seem quite right, so I phone to ask as it doesn't seem to be what I usually order. As, on the website it saves my order and I usually just repeat. I accidentally took the tikka off (not realising there are two different) and then just added it back on. Obviously, its not the same so I phone and ask about it, before I can even get through a sentence the man on the other end of the phone is full on shouting at me, keeps talking over me, right at the top of his voice. He then passes me onto the young girl, who turned out to be his daughter as I had the two dishes mixed up, I admitted my fault. I didn't make a deal out of it, just asked for it to be explained for next time. However, i did mention to her that the previous persons attitude and customer service skills were absolutely vile and I would never expect to be spoken to in such a manor by ANYONE. She then passes him back on so I can try to have a calm conversation with him as of to why I wasnt happy. He then proceeds to carry on shouting at the top of his lungs down the phone to me, not letting me get a word in, asking "what do you want, im busy" over and over again. Whilst Im trying to tell him, I will not be spoken to in that manor, oh and then went on to hang up on me. You've got to laugh or cry, right?! haha So. If you are thinking on ordering from here, the food is bland and basic and the customer service is an absolute joke. Only if you fancy being screamed at down the phone for no good reason and fancy a curry as bland as an asda microwave meal, will this be the place for you. The only explaination I can possibly think of is change of ownership, because the food used to be beautiful, along with amazing customer service. I do find it very sad as this used to be a place where my family would gather for a meal on an occasion. Very, very sad. I really do hope the horrible little man who deemed it acceptable to speak to me in such a disgusting manner, learns some basic customer service skills and how to respectfully treat another human being.

Have to say that we have not used here for a while as just eat app was easy- but the Indian on their app has not been very good so downloaded this app and placed our order - delivery was quick and close to allotted time and food was fab really enjoyed it thanks guys and girls - changed the star rating due to today’s delivery (12th March) the food was on time and hot but there was too much oil in the main dish and tarka dhal the popadom over cooked and not edible - the chicken was dry and not edible either- real shame

Professional & friendly service and the food is great. I never go anywhere else.

Friendly service, great atmosphere, and most importantly great food. I don’t often review but the food here left a lasting impression.

Lovely food and great service. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend.

Rang the restaurant to see how long the wait would be for collection on the second number advertised on the 'contact us' section of the website. As it was the first time I had used this restaurant, having heard lot of positive things, I was told it was up to me but that I was calling on their fax number instead of the alternative number and quickly ended the call. We then placed the order online as I couldn't get through on the other number, only to be called 20 minutes later to say they had just received the order 'now' and then 'ten minutes ago' and it would still take another hour to be collected. This had gone up from the 50 minutes I was advised in the first place. The girl answering the phone is quite abrupt, and apathetic. It feels like you are disrupting her evening by calling to place an order or to enquire. This has definitely put me off ordering or trying the restaurant again, which is incredibly disappointing considering we had been recommended to you so many times. I would maybe reconsider who is representing your business on the phone.

Great food and even better price.

Superb as usual. Whether takeaway or restaurant, the food here is always first class. I have tried all the others over the years, but Ali's is head and shoulders above them all.

Tried for the first time, as recommended by our neighbours.... The best we've tasted in a long time.. will definitely be using you again.

I ordered some food today the staff were speaking very rudely especially a girl and she never told me her name. I am every disappointed I don’t understand how the girl still has a job here. I know the owner very well but the girl didn’t let me talk to him at all. Normally when I order the food is very good quality and good for the money. I hope the owner will call me ASAP this is why I’m posting this.

Food took an hour and a half to come comes lukewarm every order was like slop like water spent 31 quid ask for poppadoms get two normally the best curry house in Corby but today I don't know what happened

A very friendly little restaurant/ take away beautiful food give them a try you won't regret it

Great food, nice atmosphere. Enjoyed our visit.

We've been here a few times as a family. The staff are really friendly and accommodating with our two little ones. The food is really great, have never been disappointed here. Went for a chicken ceylon and it is one of my favourite dishes, hot but flavoursome, sometimes you can tell with hot dishes that it's just had chilli powder dumped in there. Not the case here, the spices are fresh and the heat really builds up. Would recommend to anyone who likes a decent curry at a really good price.

First class service and first class food just love eating at Ali's

The service and food was as we would expected to get, much enjoyed

Excellent food good service reasonably priced nice atmosphere

Service very slow but food was good

Absolutely delicious Again. Such lovely people.Excellent service.

Great staff fantastic food thank you all

Booked a table for 14 for a 30th birthday the food was fantastic nothing was to much trouble but what really made our visit so good was the staff so friendly great fun these people really know the meaning of customer service never mind 5...

Only went there as our normal curry house did not open (naz lounge) We found the food excellent. Good size portions, each meal (3) was first class. And the surprise at the end was the bill. Great value. The team was also good.

Curry night? It's got to be Ali's.

What a great meal, 8 of us, noone had a bad meal, the chilli chicken fry and the lamb tikka masala especially, and I asked for tandoori salmon which wasn't on the menu, but they kindly agreed to do, staff were great, attentive and friendly,...

My friend and I ate there last weekend and we had such a nice meal - I've lost count of the amount of times I've ate here now, but it's definitely one of the best. The service was very courteous and prompt - checking if...

I love this place, everytime i've been there or had a takeaway i have always had a good one and they have always looked after me! Only 1 little quibble though and that is whenever i get a takeaway they are never filled to the top! but regardless i love the curry from here, best Indian (even though they are Bangladeshan) in Corby

Worst meal I have had there. I got served by this kid that had no interest. Never came back and asked if the meal was ok. Someone else was eating his meal at the counter. Another was cleaning the menu cards on the table with...

Delicious food and lovely service.

Very good food excellent service

Go local food you need to book to avoid being turned away

Great place, great staff and amazing food!

I 100% recommend this place. This is the best Indian I've had in ages. The chicken chilli fry is the best dish I've ever had in my life.

Just had our staff Xmas meal at the brilliant Ali's Balti,no problems with serving 24 of us fresh tasty and plentiful food, brilliant bar service too thanks again to Prince and the team best in town (and the world) .....

Normally go once a month with some work mates, always a friendly welcome and not overpriced, try the onion badjis (they are massive), crispy and delish, looking forward to our next trip 👌

Great food & service everytime we go in there

Unexpectedly great quality food at reasonable prices

Lovely food and good, friendly service

Probably the second best sit-in Indian in Corby, I haven't tried them all but if you're a standard Indian fan, you won't be let down if you decide to go here for a meal out.

Jokers takes forever to get your takeaway, call them and keep being told 20 minutes, 1 hour 45 minutes later still no food, not the first time it’s happened will never use them again

2 hours for a delivery, keep being told 20 minutes and then listen to them argue about how much to charge us when calling to complain, have used for years not the first time it’s happened, sadly will never use again

Food is always fresh.wouldn’t get from anywhere else. best in town

Delivery on time. food amazing as usual.

Been using this as a takeaway for a while now - every meal has been superb, I can't see using any other takeaway. Love the Aloo Pathi starter and the chicken pakora, the Bhuna is spot on for me (best combination of heat and tasty...

Best Indian in Corby. Me and my partner only use Ali’s and always tell others to try. Although I wouldn’t recommend eating in, it’s always completely full and takes a while to even get drinks.

Shocking took my dad for a meal had a man not even eating blowing his nose for Britain at the bar while waiting on his wife who was working put me of my meal also my curry was like water eat here all the time but won't be back

Very friendly and very good food. Close by parking places.

Visited this restaurant several times after it being recommended and it is now a firm favourite in Corby. Very good for vegan options, and beyond tasty. I recommend this place to everyone and it is easily the best indian in town. Staff are always a...

Absolutely shocking service waited over 2 hours for a delivery. First excuse they blame the app, then it's the kitchens fault last but not least the drivers fault. Substandard food once it had eventually arrived.

Best Indian in Corby. Love it. Fresh well cooked food. Serred with a smile. Happy to visit on a regular basis

Although this place is small and it's advisable to book, the food is top drawer. We visited as my wife didn't want to cook as she'd been busy all day. We arrived, drinks were served as we perused the menu. Starters arrived and were extremely...

I've been to Ali's many times before and as always I wasn't disappointed from start to finish the food was first class. I went with my daughter, three sisters and two nieces. We all agreed that the food was delicious, Each dish was as tasty...
