Balti House in Mid Sussex

Big portions low price on a deal. Quality is good overall sometimes hit and miss. The naans and starters are great. Would be good to see a few new dishes on menu e.g railway lamb Kerala Chicken and chicken or lamb chaat starter. Slow cooked lamb curry. Or lamb shank curry.

Very good food and good value for money.

Really disappointed, as a regular customer who orders every week I was very surprised when I ordered a vegetarian dish to find a large piece of Tandoori chicken within the meal. I emailed the restaurant but after two days without a response I felt I had no choice but to leave a bad review. Will probably go elsewhere now.

Always high quality food. The best Indian in town. Very reasonably priced with friendly, welcoming staff. The only thing that lets it down is that it is a victim of it's own success and when it gets busy the service can be below average. Still my go to takeaway though. UPDATE: not sure whether they have changed chef or owner, but the last couple of times we have been the food is definitely worse than it used to be. The gravy around the curry is now watery and not as tasty. Such a shame but maybe a time to try elsewhere 😞

This is a good value Indian but poor quality. You get good-sized portions. It's not a flavoursome Indian and sometimes that's OK because it is good value. I sometimes do the banqueting night takeaway, I think most of their curry tastes the same, I've tried a few, and they all taste like tomato and oil. The lamb was tender but flavourless, onion bahjis were lovely, rice lovely, they make amazing breads but the main dishes are not great and, I order for the quantity and price when i just need a cheap hit of spice. If they got a better grip on the flavours, this would be a gem. But it's just so bland and oily.

Previous 5 star review, but after having been a loyal customer for many years I'm left feeling ripped off. Placed an order on Just Eat, they sat on my order for nearly an hour, order cancelled, but kept my money. I won't be using them again.

I ordered a delivery from their online menu. It was delivered promptly and with a smile. Quite simply delicious food. Onion Bahjis were crisp, not at all oily and extremely tasty. The Duck Tikka was delicious and tender and came with beautifully cooked Naan bread. Mushroom Bahji was very flavourful and rich tasting with fresh coriander on top. Complimentary Poppadoms. Best Indian food I’ve had in a long while 👏

Enjoyed this old favourite restaurant and as always, great food, service and value for money. The food is exceptional especially the chicken or lamb dishes.

Ordered take away always fantastic but last Sunday wasn’t Stale poppadums ,the cucumber rahita was like curdled vomit with three slithers of cucumber and cost £3.50 and the other curries had exploded in bag , where Luke warm but tasted good I’ve emailed three times to offer feedback but had no response which is why done review

Fantastic place to visit especially on a Wednesday evening. Service 100% perfect Food 100% perfect We stopped off on our route home and what a surprise it was really busy and that was at 7 in the evening.. Will definitely be returning Thanks for a great meal with great service.

Great food and fast delivery .. everything was lovely and hot highly recommend even received a couple more poppadoms nice little touch . Thanks balti house

Great place and atmosphere. Take your own drink

Fantastic service, food and prices for the banquet.. £12.95 per person for a starter, side, main, rice and bread/naan of choice all included. Portions are so filling.

I have had the buffet several times and it has always been fantastically delicious. Just be clear that you are wanting to order what is available in the buffet deal. Great value.

Such a variety of opinions I can only suggest that you give it a try and see what you think Saturday lunchtime was our visiting time and we can say that it was real value for us A couple of relaxing hours with excellent food and our own choice of wine and beer make it so much more enjoyable. Staff were very friendly and helpful in suggesting what to have so much so that we returned the very next Saturday. We will return on one of the advertised buffet days to compare and see what it's like.

If you are Indian with a moderate spice palate, kindly refrain from visiting. I got something of a burnt garlic fried rice instead of what I ordered(Biryani). I got chicken Tikka which were boiled chunks of chicken(Not grilled at all) with some red food color and sautéed onions. The Chicken Phall (curry) although I ordered spiciest level tasted only burnt Chilli flavour and no aromatics. The Nan was the only thing which I can recommend here. Trust me guys we can cook way better food at home than these restaurants.

Great vindaloo, great portions, maybe they have a new chef, as much improved. Even threw me in rice and poppadoms 😋 Also makes a change from other curry houses where you pay 20-30 pounds for enough rice to feed your family for a week and 3 pieces of meat.

: Exquisite Dining at Balti House, 111 South Road Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Balti House Indian Restaurant on 111 South Road is a culinary treasure. The warm ambiance and attentive staff create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal. The Chicken Tikka appetizer is a burst of flavors, while the Lamb Rogan Josh is a masterpiece of tender lamb in a rich sauce. Garlic Naan complements perfectly. The service is impeccable. Whether an Indian food enthusiast or a first-timer, Balti House delivers an authentic experience that lingers long after the meal. This gem earns a well-deserved 5-star rating.

The food was phenomenal! 100% would recommend 👌 we all thoroughly enjoy it. Parking is fairly reasonable too, staff were lovely. The only downside was the large crowds of teenagers hanging around outside. The staff did eventually ask them all to move on.

Very nice food. Not the usual Indian. Same food but with a Bangladeshi take on it all Great service with friendly staff If you are visiting for the buffet, Sunday or Monday, be sure to mention it before ordering or you get a surprise in the for of a bigger bill than expected.

We have eaten at the Balti House many times and sadly the quality of the food seems to have declined, the service is always good however this will sadly be our last visit. This has happened over a period of time and it would appear that perhaps the restaurant is more focused on their take away menu than looking after customers in the restaurant. That is just an observation. On our Saturday evening visit (prime time) only 3 tables were occupied. Perhaps this says it all.

Food was ok but they miss items off the order then promised refund never appears. Requested replacement with next order and they couldn’t even manage that. Very poor.

Great Indian food, prices reasonable 👍

Brilliant place, ordered from this place several times and they’ve always come correct. Also very amazing staff.😁

Amazing food and great customer service

Balti house is great value for money, either for take-away or their buffet evenings. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. The food has always been good. It's a great every day curry house.

Me and one of my grandsons dropped this evening, had the place to ourselves as quite early, the food was superb, portion size just right and tasted fantastic can't fault in any way, will definitely go back again.

Why offer an 'order whatever you like off the menu' option then try to trick people by saying "you didn't ask for the buffet". It is exactly the same menu! Our bill was £25 more than the offer price. Didn't pay it but won't be going back.

I have been going for here for years now and always feel I receive a great consistent and reliable service. The food itself is superb and way better value for money than other over priced curry houses in Haywards Heath/Lindfield.

Food was amazing however service was very slow and atmosphere was abit dead

Waste of £60, have used this restaurant/takeaway for years ,and has progressively got worse every time we use them. Heavily greased onion bahjis, tasteless mushroom bahjis, curry was cold.

Only been the once, found the food so so.

Amazing curry buffet great price and I now go as much as possible recommend to all friends and family can't for enough

Gross. When my order came out it was wrong but the ‘senior’ waiter confirmed it was in fact what I ordered. Looked nothing like it should, flagged this and was assured it was definitely what I ordered. Gave them benefit of doubt - should have stuck to my gut! Was far too sweet to be what I had ordered, was like they’d conjured up a basic curry and chucked in loads of mango chutney. Thought maybe the chicken would be ok - Wrong! Crunched like uncooked chicken. Bill comes, low and behold the ‘senior’ waiter had lied through his teeth and I didn’t receive what I ordered despite questioning this and being reassured otherwise. When I challenged this his excuse was ‘but it’s nicer’… Not taking in to consideration allergies or intolerance. He very reluctantly removed this from the bill. Avoid if you want to eat what you actually order and enjoy it!

First visit to the Balti House. Excellent food and service. Also booked a takeaway online with local delivery. Again, great food and faultless service.

Went here on a Monday night with a colleague. Cheap as chips and got a right good feed for £12. The food I had was excellent for no money

Tasty food, well prepared and wonderful friendly staff. Highly recommended

On the toilet five minutes after eating the starter, food looked and tasted odd. EHO need to visit the place. Absolutely awful

My husband and I have eaten in the restaurant or had a takeaway three times in total. Eating in the restaurant was a fairly good experience, but the food from delivery has been mediocre. The first food delivery was in December near Christmas in the aftermath of the snow so we were very lenient with slightly cold food a long wait time and also one of the main dishes being completely wrong. We decided to have another delivery recently in milder weather and surprisingly, we had to wait over an hour for delivery and when it arrived it was luke warm food and missing side orders. I called and relayed both issues from my current and previous order to the chap at the restaurant and was informed “it was too busy to send out the missing items” so, a refund was taken for the missing items. An offer of free sauces (worth around 60p) were offered with our future order. I would have expected perhaps a reimbursement of at least one of our main courses and Nan breads. As that’s what had been missing. With a simple apology. The food isn’t the best but is good value for its price - I would strongly suggest eating in their restaurant on one of their discount days and Do NOT order food for delivery. Sadly we won’t be going back. We would rather pay more and have delicious, correct, hot food than poor delivery times and being apprehensive about what items will be missing this time! Such a shame.

Whenever we get a takeaway from balti house it is always piping hot, generously proportioned and delivered on time. Can’t fault it!

First visit here - Went on a Sunday evening for the buffet, service good, food good, good size portions. Would recommend and will be returning.

Great food and service. Very good size portions. Doggy bags supplied if you can't finish at no extra charge. Would highly recommend.

The service front of house at the Balti House is second to none, and that isn’t the end of the story. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is complimented nicely by some choice music. I will always return to the Balti House!

Arrived to a warm smile, hearty restaurant would scran again

Beautiful people, beautiful atmosphere, lovely food and not expensive. Best curry in the world, love the mango curry and naans xox

Good food, nice people , what more could you want?

One of the best Currys I've ever had. Would 100% recommended.

Always a good night at the Balti house. Staff lovely, brilliant music and to top it off a lovely curry. My favourite dhansak is the perfect mix. The naans lovely too.

You need to sort the toilets out!! Pretty Grim and very cold, I always wonder what the kitchen is like when I see the state of the toilet decoration, facilities and cleaning!! Or lack of. Food OK but after visiting the toilet I'm not sure I'll be back... also this restaurant does not have an alcohol licence... so bring your own or better still find one with alcohol and better toilets

Been a regular here for years, always a great curry and superb service. Banquet nights are the best. BYO with an off licence across the road

Nice, quick service. Standard food

Great value, good service, recommended, will visit again 👍

I go here every week when I can. Never disappointed , as the food and staff are first class and the menu is very reasonably priced ! Wouldn’t go anywhere else thank you The Balti House

Not been there myself but it’s my sons go to curry house

Great value and friendly staff. What's not to like. Good size portions too.

Super lovely curry. Ordered a take away. Hot when picking up and very tasty with great presentation! Deserves 5☆

Best Curry House in Sussex Excellent value for money and excellent quality nothing is too much trouble and seeing families come in with young children the staff are very attentive to them.

The best curry house in Haywards Heath. Never had a bad one and I’ve had - lot :D lovely staff and service

Always good quality and decent sized portions. Had a lovely Prawn puree to start followed by Chicken Bhuna.

Lovely restaurant, food was amazing, great service. We'll be back soon!

Lovely people but all the dishes looked the same and didn't taste a whole lot different. Bring your own if you go as it is not licensed to sell alcohol.

Normally very good, but last delivery took over hour and half.

Awful awful place! Still waiting on a refund that was promised after the food was late, cold and missing items! Rang to ask if this could be rectified and was promised a refund. This never arrived. Emails and messages sent and they have all been ignored! Absolutely disgusting! I'd also avoid the Cheese naan as it was made with burger cheese slices - the kind you receive at McDonald's!!!! Have made it clear to all friends and family to avoid like the plague!!!!

Fantastic curry, I would rate this as one of the best in Haywards Heath. Very reasonably priced, friendly staff. Great for eating in or take away.

Great food but felt disappointed we were nearly swindled out of 20 quid. We went for the buffet night and when we received the bill it was £20 more expensive, when questioned we were told we didn’t ask for buffet (we did!) which maybe was a miscommunication but when it was rectified they were quite rude about it. The food was really lovely but it’s a shame the staff were quite mean about a mistake they made.

Very bad food not for me again sorry

So went in for the Monday Buffet which was very good portion size was acceptable for my and my Partners main dish but a little bit less so with our rice servings! The quality of the food was very acceptable not outstanding but solid so didn't detract from our meal. So service was acceptable a little bit mechanical but again acceptable.

Loved it. Will come again. Update 27/3/22. We have now been here about 10 times. Aways a lovely experience. The whole family would recommend

Very nice curry👍, And very good service.

Really good stuff from balti house tonight. We have had issues in the past with the sagg paneer base sauce being burnt, however tonight it was on point and back to its usual best. Always a solid local favorite of ours.

Top quality curry dishes. Very generous portions and great sides. Very well looked after

First class by every measure 👏🏼

Literally the best curry in Mid Sussex. No joking. Absolutely delicious!

Food was mostly great, also not too greasy or salty like some. Saag paneer not very nice but maybe just not to our taste.

Great starters and but not so good mains, too much sauce to not enough meat.

Food took over 100 minutes to arrive and took longer than estimated, otherwise good.

Came an hour and 25 mins after order and arrived cold and the chicken had been over cooked making it very dry and tough

Excellent food. Hadn’t realised the mains came with pilau rice so got far too much rice but not a problem. Will come again.

Arrived late and was missing some of the order again. I won’t be ordering from this place again, very disappointing.

Very good service and good food.

Ordered a take-a-way curry for four at 1910 on a Saturday night. The restaurant gave us a pick-up time of 1944, which we put back to 2000. So, we gave them an additional 16 minutes, 50 minutes in all. However, when I arrived at 1959 I was told the food was just being packed, then I was told they were still cooking the order, then I was told it was just being packed and ultimately it was 10 minutes late. Maybe that’s not a big deal but standing in a restaurant for 10 minutes, on a Saturday night, the most precious time of the week, is pretty poor. If the restaurant had told us 2010, I would have been there at that time. The food was actually really good, just frustrating service.

Great curry, massively late. Reason being error between just eat and restaurant.

One of the best Indians I've had in a long while. Onion bhajis in particular were great - much larger and fresher/good quality then what you often get elsewhere. Portions were generous. Booked at 5:45 for asap delivery, estimate was 7-7:20 But it actually arrived at about 6:05, which was a bonus for us! Would definitely order again.

Excellent service and food, we were missing 1 item but the staff happily and efficiently replaced it! I always highly recommend Balti house:)

Brilliant service and amazing food- as always

Placed the order just as the restaurant opened, but still had to wait over 30 after the confirmed time, which they had already adjusted when we placed the order. Not impressive on this occasion.

Currently the best indian in Haywards Heath

Order was ready early, and even with the cold weather outside, was piping hot after the walk back to the car and journey home. Food was delicious, but the portions were massive. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but felt like a lot went to waste. A £12.95 banquet could easily suit two people. But all in all a really enjoyable meal

I didn't realise it would come with rice and naan bread too! Loads of food, great value

Great food and delivery service.

Fantastic, plus extremely quick delivery

The best chicken tikka curry and keema naan ever!

Very good curry and quality of food, but only after reheating it as it was cold! Can't criticise the food itself though very good!

Great food very hot and delivery time was really good. Forgot our salad but it didn’t matter :)

Lovely curry and good value for money.

On just eat it said 30 mins delivery then as soon as ordered it messaged saying 2 hours, and when I checked the juts eat again after ordering they was still saying 30 mins obviously a tactic to get people to think it will be 30 mins. Food we ordered was wrong we asked for chicken tikka main and got lamb which caused problems as she don’t like lamb we tried calling a number of times but was busy every time.

Amazing food as always, but extremely late, ordered at 7pm eta 9pm arrived at 9.50.
