Balchão Restaurant in Trafford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Dispite receiving a reminder text from the restaurant the day before we arrived to find the restaurant permanently closed. Didn't have the decency to advise us of the closure. If they can send out reminder texts they could have advised us of the closure and avoided a lengthy journey.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great! We let the manager pick our courses and I would highly recommend the kurbool kissed fish starter. I will definitely be returning soon! Lovely authentic food!!

Best restaurant in Hale Barns. Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. The staff had a superb attention to detail and knowledge of the cuisine. We will definitely be returning.

Food was awesome. Ambience and service was lovely too. I really enjoyed the main course and will deffo come again soon. .

Great food! Highly recommend the Malabar Meen Curry! Both appetisers and mains were great! The Raspberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake was absolutely smashing!

This place is amazing!!! The staff are wonderful, the food is incredible. We cannot wait to go back!

We hired Balchao Restaurant to host our sons birthday party on the 31st December. The staff were attentive in our pre planning, even taking the time to video call us through the setup for the day. On the day, they were fantastic at managing our guests, serving food and drinks with no delay and most importantly - the food was delicious! Good people skills & hosting ability really makes a difference, and I have to truly say I enjoyed the experience and would not hesitate in booking again. Highly recommend.

Went for the 1st time last night & absolutely delicious the food , sea bass OMG Delicious, great atmosphere lovely staff & Will definitely return as a hidden Gem for sure & well worth a visit

Come for a family meal, warm welcome when we arrived, the waiter was really good with my 3 year old son making him laugh. Food was amazing! I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. The whole family fully enjoyed everything. Will definitely be returning. Mark chloe, and lego man 🤣

Just a lovely experience. Had an afternoon off from the kids and couldn’t have picked a better place. Food was delicious and we were really looked after. We’ve pretty much decided to book for next Christmas Day.

The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. Food was absolutely amazing. Stunning venue with a great atmosphere 👌

We went as a family of 4 the service was good but the food took 1.5-2h to arrive which is awful but they gave free food as an apology, but what was the worst part was there was a party of 10 on the other side of the restaurant being obnoxiously loud and screaming and no one did anything about it, I couldn’t even talk across my table without shouting.

I ate hear as part of a business meeting the other week and my colleague, who was visiting for the first time thought it was first rate! I enjoyed a couple of nice starters, which I seldom eat but thoroughly enjoyed them and my Kolpori chicken (my go to main along with Coastal Balchao was superb

Myself and my husband had a date night meal here the service was great as was the restaurant itself. We really enjoyed the food we had the kurnloo kissed fish and lamb chop for starters, highly recommend ! For mains we had the prawns and the lamb, it was delicious, had we have been before I would’ve been tempted to ask for more heat in the dishes, but the flavour was impressive and I would return next time I’m in the area.

Amazing evening. Balchao hosted our christmas meal and it was perfect from start to finish. Amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. As simple as that. Thanks for hosting us.

The restaurant's cozy ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of exploration into the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine.Balchão's menu boasted a remarkable array of dishes, each showcasing the vibrant and bold flavors characteristic of Indian cuisine. For those seeking an authentic...

The front of house shouts “Special” as soon as we walk in having booked this meal for my parents’ anniversary. The table was right next to the kitchen and exposed us to a cold draft. Starters were good but when we requested to move tables,...

Lovely Food, great service, knowledgeable team who couldn’t do enough to help. We enjoyed the coastal prawns and delicious nan bread!

Excellent food the lamb just fell apart and melted in your mouth, great service and friend staff, we would highly recommend to friends and family

What can I say that hasn’t been said before? A superb eatery. Staff are fantastic, knowledgeable about all of their offerings which comes from a passion they clearly have. Can’t complement you enough! Bravo!!

Restaurant decor is stylish and welcoming. Great menu with relevant heat of dishes and ingredients used clearly shown. We shared jumbo prawn and shish kebab starters. Very large and tasty prawns cooked butterfly style, the kebab made of soft an aromatic minced lamb - both...

Would highly recommend Balchão for delicious, authentic food, a warm and comfortable dining experience, and some of the best service you could ask for! The manager Nitya is so accommodating and goes above and beyond for his guests. He even catered for one of our...

It had been a while since my last visit to beautiful Balchao, saying that I consider this ‘my local’ and have probably eaten here well over 20 times now. We took a couple of our good friends for their inaugural visit and they were not...

I Outstanding Vegan dishes 🤩🌱🌶️ The Jackfruit curry and Beetroot curry were totally gastronomic!!! Veggie mono’s are to die for and the broccoli starter was a testebud tantalizer 😋 We will be back!

The vegetarian options are to die for…Beetroot curry as well as the Jackfruit grill were to die for. The starters were amazing and set the taste buds up for what was to come…momos as authentic as Nepal and the charred broccoli were exquisite. Nowhere better...

Exceeding my expectations every time.” “I am completely impressed with their Professionalism and customer service.” Overall excellent experience.... Tasty food with good quality and great service......Very good place for family and friends Love to visit again

We were luckily to go as a family which included two autistic boys, they were so good with them. The food was delicious, service was great and we couldn’t have asked for more, the warm towels were a great touch. You must go!?!

Incredible food and outstanding customer service - I will recommend trying king prawns and bamboo biryani. Exceptionally well-cooked food. It was so lovely to spend an evening at Balchao Restaurant with friends.

Amazing food! Great for vegetarians. We had the plant based platter to start and then the lentil daal and naan, it was all fabulous and the staff are lovely

It is a very good restaurant and I would recommend other people too. Food (serving Indian, Bengali) is not the typical anglicised Indian food that are cooked for the curry-hungry English, but actually cooked with care to bring out quite the authentic taste, and the...

Stones throw from Manchester Airport, food absolutely delicious and reasonably price. Service was second to none, will definitely be returning.

Decoration, food and service are very good. Service by Shundaria or in Bangla Shoondori are excellent.

It was an amazing experience. Pathak so kindly tailored an excellent three course meal for my friend’s birthday. Each and every dish was extremely delicious and the service was very warm.

Food was average and the service was awful. Served 4 tables that came in after us, starters and mains and the bill before our mains even came. We were a party of 8 and the other tables were 2, 4, 5 and 6. Completely unacceptable...

Believe the other 1 star review. Food was ok bordering on not good, however I resent being scammed to go to this place due to the false reviews. If this is the top resturant in the area, as it appears on trip advisor, then Im...

Yet again my local eatery delivered to a very high standard. Patrick made us feel very welcome service was excellent as ever and whilst we both went for the kolpori chicken (highly recommended) I asked for mine a little spicier than Mrs Lowe so they...

Thank you, Nitya, for looking after me today, I ordered the Purple Basil Paneer, Tandoori Chicken Wings, and some Naan. Everything was cooked to order in terms of spiciness. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The staff are very friendly and welcoming....

We had such a wonderful evening here. The staff were very attentive and greeted us immediately. The restaurant was fairly quiet as it was a Monday night but they sat us far away from another couple for privacy. We felt very comfortable. We ordered Poppadoms...

We ate at Balchao for my daughter’s birthday and we loved it! Beautiful food, everything perfect, the best & fluffiest rice I’ve ever had. The service was wonderful and the staff brought out a birthday cake with candle completely unprompted. Will definitely come back!

This place is sh1t hot. Just go, you’ll find out 👍🏻 Never let’s you down. Consistently on it. Eat in or take out, quality is always there

Went for my son's birthday, lovely interior, friendly staff, (although felt rushed to order, not sure why as the place was half empty), starters were nice, prawns and salmon were fine. All went downhill from there, if its one thing I cant stand its cold...

My second visit to Balchao and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was fantastic particularly the prawn dishes, service was great and the attention to detail is spot on. Will definitely be going back.

A very friendly welcoming place. The food is very good with some really interesting flavours. A very relaxed atmosphere. If you are struggling to know what to order ask the writer who clearly knows the menu and flavours really well. I would highly recommend this...

Absolutely lovely food and perfect prompt service . We ordered vegetarian biriyani and this was fully packed with flavours and definitely recommend .
