Balloch House in West Dunbartonshire

Nice Indian twist to regular kebabs, very tasty

Got dinner takeaway from here. Food was alright but service was quick.

I don't know if they have changed supplier or chef but tonight was awful. Pizza soggy, too much cheese and driver had it in a tilt in his car. My partner got a mixed kebab which wasn't the same either and the dinner was like rubber. Don't think we will be back

Found this gem by accident and nabbed a table for dinner while we were on our honeymoon. Food is excellent, but we were a bit disappointed my pint of Tennent's wasn't served in a proper Tennent's glass. Service was friendly.

Really friendly staff, special thanks to Diane and Amir (sorry not sure if that's the right spelling). Lovely food and we were looked after all evening and allowed to stay in the car park with our motorhome for the night. We do the NC500 every year and will be back here again next year. Thank you.

Le personnel est avenant et sympa, prise de la commande rapide, peu d'attente pour avoir les boissons et entrées. Avons pris un pâté de simili foie gras, chutney d'oignons, une petite salade sans prétention. Ensuite de l'agneau, difficile à couper, les filets de bar trop cuits, accompagnement bien, des brocolis sauvages, Pdterre pas assez cuites. 20£ pour le plat principal nous paraît tout de même chèr vu ce qu'il y avait ds l'assiette.

We stopped in for a drink and a snack. Lovely situation just by the marina and a warm pub feel inside. Not much of a view from inside the pub but a lovely walk alongside the water just outside. We ordered some snacks and some drinks and everything was really great. Halloumi sticks, garlic break and chorizo washed down with a couple of glasses of Pinot noir. Service was prompt and friendly.

Pizza was just like a cheese garlic bread- not my thing at all. Maybe it's a regional thing as not from the area but wouldn't return

The food was substandard, with very little flavour, which was a shame after being recommended the place the young man who served us on Tuesday was pleasant and jolly

My family and I were on a wee 4 day break at Cameron house. I decided to order a takeaway from here and have to say I was not disappointed! Food was definitely fresh and tasted really nice. The delivery time was perfect too, I was told 30 mins and it was exactly around 30 mins! I will be using these guys again whenever I am in the area. Thank you so much

Don’t be fooled by the ‘bar snacks’ menu - more like a tapas option, all very tasty and lots of it! Will be back for more soon!

Lovely staff, great meal. Very friendly. There was food/water and blanket for the dog. Hamish was excellent and very welcoming.

The room was very basic and very overpriced at £144 for one night. Not as good as premier inn. The room had an odour, which I couldn’t make out, either drains blocked in bathroom or musty smell from carpet. Carpet was very dirty needs replacing and paint peeling off walls in several places. Carpet in corridors also smelt very dirty and musty. View over the bins was not very nice, but think that the rooms on other side of hotel would have had a nicer view of the river. Perhaps the price could be lower for ones with view of bins. The bed was comfy though and overall bathroom seemed clean and sheets clean. Location was nice by the river once outside. The food in the pub seemed good standard but a few of the chairs could do with recovering as fabric had come away on several and doesn’t give a good overall impression. Manager and staff were very friendly but unfortunately I wouldn’t stay here again due to the quality of the rooms.

Great food and good prices we got it deliverd to campsite tonight and we will be back thank you carson

The staff was great, very friendly. However the room needs some work, at first impressions it was nice, then I started noticing issues..... The shower head wasn't attached properly, so it leaked down the wall. The chair was missing from the room, so the TV was in a weird place to watch from the bed. There was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom. The tv kept losing signal and had audio description on that couldn't be turned off. The windows looked onto the bins, that birds were pulling rubbish out of. As we were only staying one night, and didn't want to ruin our trip we didn't say anything but equally wasn't asked when we hadn't our keys in.

We have never had a bad meal in here, that is why I booked my retirement dinner there. 28 family members, not one complaint, everyone enjoyed and finished their meal my family from East Scotland were well impressed. Hannah our waitress was very friendly and efficient, all meals came our quickly. Ambience was perfect. Thanks to Diana and her staff.

Good people and a quick service. They were clearly very busy and I probably waited about 10-ish minutes. The pizza was good and I liked that they offered many different sizes. I also was confused (as an American) on what mince samosa was, but it's just a regular samosa, very good! Nice and crispy and not oily. Thanks!

Great takeaway. Fast service and excellent customer service

Gezellig restaurant en leuke en goede bediening, heerlijk gegeten en gedronken voor een redelijke prijs, mooie locatie.

Attended for a family birthday lunch. After being several times before without complaint we expected nothing less this time. Sadly it was not great. Not sure if theres been a change in staff or not but the food was mediocre this time. The steak pie had a very odd aftertaste and had a thick orange oil sitting on top of it. The steaks were quite tough and the drinks sadly were not great either. They were replaced but were advised it was the syrup that had ran out. Overall this occasion was not great and when i factor in the price, i don’t think i would return which is a shame as previously has been great.

Was in for my birthday lunch 02/05. Food was of a poor standard, service was slow. Waited 40 minutes for my desert, poor excuse given. Left the establishment without eating my desert. I was offered a discount. On checking my bill I was given a discount of 75p. I regularly had lunches here when visiting Balloch for a walk.Won't be back

Lovely local pub, coffee at atmosphere, good selection of beers and wine. Very friendly, you can dine well or snack in the bar area, well worth a visit

Always a pleasure to return to The Balloch House. Love to eat and drink here but only had time for drinks with friends and the bar was busy but Diane found us a table. Always has a great atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

I ordered pizza at 6.50pm. It came at 8.20pm. Cold and hard. Disgusting. How can you charge so much for Disgusting food.

Popped in on a rainy day with our 2 Springers and made veey welcome..we had coffee, then ordered lunch. I had fish and chips and my husband Lasagne, both were very good. We also had desserts and finished with another coffee. The service was excellent and prices were reasonable. Would definitely return if in the area.

Fairly priced and tasty set menu. Lovely staff. Rustic decor. Top notch. I imagine that the outdoor patio would be very welcoming in warmer weather, too. 😁

Popped in for Dinner whilst staying in Balloch. Our food came and mine was a beautifully presented and tasty sea bass dish but sadly it was Luke warm. Partner ordered the lamb rump and pie. Again beautiful presentation,Very tasty but chewy rump and again Luke warm. We had waited 35 mins from ordering so just ate it. The fish dish wasn't very filling sadly. The next night I fancied a drink in there and ordered an espresso martini at £8.50. I ended up leaving it it was vile. Again looked good but tasted cheap and harsh. After speaking to a number of locals they individually advised to avoid. Asked why there or pulled a face of distaste. Lesson here...get recommendations. It isn't cheap to eat out so you at least want hot food and to feel satisfied. Sad as the place itself is nice.

The food was very oily. Chapati wasn't actual Chapatti rather a huge maida roti. The spicy roll was so stuffed that the filling was falling down and not an easy task to eat. We threw half of the food.

The food was nice. The desserts were spectacular. The man that served us was hilarious!!! Finally my Coca Cola was deliciously refreshing. 😂😂🇮🇪🥳🙈🙈🕺🕺

Lovely cosy restaurant. Brilliant that it’s dog friendly too so we could walk alongside the river and the loch before coming in for a meal. Service was great and food was really tasty. We’ll definitely be back!

had a lovely sunday dinner on a very sunny easter day!! 🐣 staff were wonderful and service was really quick! smiles all round x

The food was just ok, very expensive for what it was. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant appeared tired and in need of some TLC

21 of us in for an 80th Birthday. The staff were wonderful. Elaine got all our drinks then we were served by Jeff and Megan. The food was lovely and hot. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Thank you to all the team especially Jeff who interacted with the young kids in our party and kept asking if we needed anything.

Friendly staff, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Next time we visit we will definitely come here

Great bar with cosy atmosphere - lovely attentive staff - always well looked after - this is a regular stop for us and will continue to be

They do the best south Indian garlic chili. Very rare to see the staff cracking a smile.

Am new to chillies love it best in balloch great food I know where am going from now on

Got some food donner kebab and chips and cheese pure rotten cheese like rubber and kebab gave me the boak gades never be back think I've got food posion to going to the experts with what's left

Ordered a Buffet takeaway on the Friday for delivery on the Saturday for 9pm they were spot on time and the pizzas and all the other accompanying foods were excellent and on time so thanks to the staff for a great service

Been ordering from Chillies for years. Ordered home delivery told 55 min wait . After 90 minutes I phoned to be told be here in 15. Wouldn’t have cared tbh if up to usual standard. Tonight our food was awful. Korma so tasteless was like baby food. Jaipuri just slightly better. Pakora and naan so greasy looked wet. The chicken was tough and tasteless. So very disappointed.

Food is lovely. Pakora a bit greasy but main meal was excellent

I only had a simple order, donner meat and chips, but it was amazing taste wise, and really hot!

Excellent staff first class meal wee worth a visit

Great taste. Great value. And when they say 'spicy' they mean it. We liked it very much.

Worst Indian food we've ever had

Omg if I could give it less I would this has got to be the worst ever takeaway we've been to. 29th July time 11pm ordered starter and main starter would say maybe eatable the main horrendous never ever seen a chicken masala like it. The colour was pasty pink no taste what so ever, so bland it was like something you would have to eat in a challenge in I'm a celebrity jungle get me out of here, 16 pound went straight in the bin, I kid you not please do not even think about it, worst ever takeaway we've ever had, worst of it was a local told us how good it was. Seriously you don't know how folks taste buds differ, unbelievable is all I can say, gob smacked lesson learnt,. BE WARNED !!!!!!!

Great food, very tasty. Ready when they said it would be

Couldn't get a pizza that my son wanted , they were too busy to make another , I was told 40 min wait will I was in the shop . Also delivery woman standing in the doorway of the shop smoking not really a good impression, then I seen the guy outside in the car then went back in with the same blue glove on

We had the mixed kebab and the lamb was perfectly cooked.

Top class takeaway great food at a great price

The best pizza I've ever eaten. So. Much. Cheese. I will never forget that experience.

Bit hit and miss, customer service in the shop especially. Can't complain about the food but it's lacking a bit of authenticity.

Wrong topping on pizza I ordered

I always get great food from 🌶 chillies. Got a very tasty Nentara lamb curry with mushrooms & onions. Amazing. I've had pizza & kebabs in the past that where delicious. Always pick up so have no experience of home delivery. Staff always friendly although busy busy!

Sorry will not be ordering again used this place for years fed up with the inconsistency of the food bit of a hit and miss pakora terrible burnt on outside raw in middle and far to salty (heart attack in a brown bag) curry bland rice ok . Oh spiced onions not chopped evenly check them out and you'll see what I mean. Can't find a decent takeaway in this area.

Food is delicious, priced well and busy (however never usually a long wait!)

Fantastic, fresh, flavourful takeaway. 10 out of 10

Always worth stopping for a kebab on the way home

This place is amazing, food is delicious and the staff are so welcoming.

The set meal for one is quite large and would feed 2. Good value for money. However I've stopped ordering curry from them as they are bland, lacking in any real spice flavour. I think the spice flies over the pot... even the hottest curry is just tomato sauce. Also the pakora has been refried a few times which made it dry and greasy. Inedible. I used to have a curry every Saturday, but no longer. My homemade curry is much tastier.

Lovely meal first time in a while didn't dissapoint

Mixed kebab. Struggled to taste the meats due to sweetness of the chilli sauce. I've never tasted such a sweet sauce on a kebab and it almost ruined the kebab. Managed to scrape most of it off to make it edible. I would try again if staying longer but I'd not bother with a sauce or get it separately so the meat flavours stand a chance.

Food is good, delivery is terrible. It's better to just collect yourself.

Pizza had cheddar cheese and not mozzarella tasted rank

DISGUSTING FOOD. DIRTY PEOPLE. If I could rate 0, I would. The bread was soggy, the meat was cold and drowned in sauce. That was the first time I placed an order and will be the last . That was a waste of money.

Tasty pizza with Indian flavours.

Got the mixed king kebab. Amazing value, so much food and tasted amazing.

Ordered a chicken tikka masala. Didn’t look or taste like one unfortunately and the chicken was very rubbery and off putting. We ended up chucking most of it.

If there is a god, she would definitely eat at chillies.

Visited chillies tonight for a kebab and pizza and chips spent £17.00 and asked for a small bit of vinegar to take away and the homeless guy behind the desk said it would cost 50p more to take vinegar away. These guys are a disgrace to humanity, very bad customer service and only looking for money. Not good at all. Would be best to shut down and change to KFC.

2 hours for a failed delivery for an address that was 4 minutes away from the restaurant. Called them 4 times to check and explain that I can’t come to collect due to Health reasons. Heard the staff laugh and talk in Hindi about it - I am an Indian and understand Hindi, Punjabi and jokes on your customers are never good. Horrible service.. manager himself was not sure what’s happening.

Nice food try the veg pakora really nice.

Chicken Tikka Masalla Pizza is Amazing

Naan bread with chicken tikka kebab was brick hard' couldn't even eat it. As a regular customer I have noticed over last few deliveries it has not been as good.

The best takeaway by far. Sometimes deliveries can take a while but at least it shows its popular. Picking up an order can Sometimes be quicker although the shop us very busy. Bottom line id rather wait an extra 15 minutes for good food rather that instant gut wrot from the faster places. How can a quiet shop afford maintain the ingredient standards of a busy shop 🤔

What cam i say about chilles balloch just wow amazeing food good price and staff are amazing too even deliver drive are nice Defo worth try u wont be disappointed But they need card machine instore Alway clean and food alway fast and is amazeing Defo best in west dumbarton by far

Fantastic choice of takeaway. Something for everybody's pallet. Only criticism is that the portions were a bit on the large size.

Korma was too creamy and garlic and corrander had far to much corrander on. Rogan Josh was nice.

Fantastic authentic test. Not over done and we’ll blend of spices. Must visit. Staff very friendly and service is sharp.

Couldn't tell you about the food as I couldn't get any. This place is cash only (in this day and age) and the cash machine outside charges for withdrawal (again, what??)

Worst pizza ever!!! Would definitely not recommend. A big fat thumbs down from me.

A few months ago I would be giving Chilli's 5 stars as I am a regular customer. However the past few months their chicken pakora which used to always be freshly made and soft is now dried out and stale. At £9 a pop, it's a bit steep to be paying for poor quality. I always give them the benefit and the doubt and always get disappointed. Time to just stop buying from them. Shame as I've given them years of custom.

It was OK got a donnar kebab quite tasteless my wife like her chicken tika kebab. Probably wouldn't visit it again

Great place for a drink, staff were so pleasant and friendly! One girl called Ailsa served us and she couldn’t have been nicer, a credit to the place! Fast service, I ordered pizza and it was lovely. Been to a few places in balloch for drinks and this is definitely my favourite.

We arrived for a late lunch after booking at the last minute. A friendly welcome and after track and trace details taken we were shown to our table. I had the Duo of Lamb which was delicious. The accompanying Shepherds pie was oustanding and the roast carrots were superb. My wife had the burger and said it was the best burger she has had. She finished off with a coffee and chocolate brownie which she loved. All in all great lunch in nice surroundings served by pleasant staff.

Lovely , old fashioned pub with open fire , polite staff . The smell of wet dogs and barking , can put you of a lenghthy visit unfortunately. Great for dog walkers . Restaurant nice and food OK to .

Delivery sometimes a little long, food is worth the wait though

Great food. Pretty cheap. Fast service. Couldn't ask for more 🤜🤛

Apsaloutely beautiful well recomended fresh as fk man south Indian garlic chilli lamb to die fur. Boosh...

Rotten.... this is part of their new munchie box!!

Me,and partner had a nice night here it was a while back but wanting to return asap (reason for checking reviews) The Staff were nice and attentive. Our meals were really nice and setting was beautiful. Steak and chips then Eton mess plus couple of soda drinks for me. And partner really enjoyed burger and chips and a couple of pints, bill was under £40 don't have one complaint.

Usually good, best in the area, disappointing poppadoms were yesterday s soft and nan was under cooked, but I like it well done.

The worst tikka lamb Korma and garlic nan bread I've ever had. Tasted awful and had to put it straight in the bin.

Had my birthday dinner here with my family and it was a fantastic experience. Menu was limited due to current guidelines but still plenty on offer outwith minimal menu in respect of gluten free and my partner was limited to 1 dish. Staff where friendly and their interactions with us and fellow diners took the feeling of restrictions re Covid away from us and helped keep the atmosphere ambient and welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit with being locals and hopefully with a more increased menu for Gluten free options.

Had a fantastic meal here The food was excellent and the staff very welcoming Would definitely return

Balloch house is a fantastic destination for a weekend break. It's architecture, fire places and cozy but modern interior made our stay very homely and comfortable. The food has a great standard and offers many Scottish favourites. It is located close to lovely walks with generous parking. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and will come again (hopefully soon).

Whether it's the staff, the food, or the accommodation, I couldn't fault my stay at Balloch House with my girlfriend for overnight stay getaway and I couldn't recommend somewhere more! An amazing view out to harbour from our room, a lovely menu full of local favourites and even a cosy fireplace to put our feet up. Cheery staff to help with anything we needed and wonderful service all round!

Absolutely adored the aesthetic of this beautiful hotel. I was blown away by the food, it was 5 star quality and the service could not be beaten! I cannot wait to return and have that pork belly again!

Nice ,snug pub ,with burning fire ,nice staff ,overpriced food. and the smell of wet dogs taking over your night out , There is a large room at back, you could use for dog friendly area.

Beautiful restaurant warm cisy very inviting. The service was excellent and cant say enough good things about the food from the Pate to the Roast beef dinner yummmmmmm.
