Balti Hut in Harrow

I like the food of balti hub too much it's kind a Punjabi taste which you seek of India. You will find proper taste here undeniably. I am regular customer from last 3 years in London. The owner and staff welcome your delightful which feels you like home. Small restaurant with you can bring your own drink from outside that is biggest advantage of this unique restaurant. My favourite all the time is Paneeer Bhruji. We ordered onion bhujiya, papadum, veg thali,non veg thali, cheese butter masala, Raita. They gives chutney and salad as complimentary you must taste it. Chafe is amazing. I am vegetarian but my friends have eaten and they said delicious 😋. You will find globe people in this Indian restaurant. It's an affordable restaurant. Love you guys

I've been going to this restaurant for over 20 years and I'm still yet to find a better curry.

Food is great, tasty but the decor let's it down. Would definitely go back - Tasty

My family and I have been coming to Balti Hut for 30+ years before I was even born and the food is always 10/10. The owner Sohail always takes care of us and is always accommodating even if it’s super busy. The food is the tastiest and the naan is freshly prepared in front of you. Honestly if you’re looking for tasty & spicy food, this is the place to go! Tadka Daal, Karahi Paneer & Onion Kulcha are a must try!!

One of the best food I've had in the UK. Recommendation would be the special for the day. We ordered Tandoori chicken, Karahi chicken, Handi Chicken, accompanied by Nan and Rice. Value for money, excellent service, overall a great experience

We have been coming to this restaurant for years and the quality is still the same! Best lamb chops in London!

The food is fingers Leaking. I loved the food and they make your food the way you want recommend to every one take your own drinks and enjoy

Best curry in London. Bar none.

I recommend their sizzling garlic fish - visit mainly for thus item

Me, my family and friends have been eating at the Balti Hut for over 20 years, often for family celebrations, sometimes in groups of 15 or more people. In all that time we've only ever been served fresh, freshly cooked, tasty authentic dishes. Sol and his team are brilliant, offering a warm and friendly service. I was there last night with friends, who were dining there for the first time, and they were delighted with the quality of all the dishes we were served. The only thing if you want to visit, I'd recommend you book a table in advance: on a Tuesday night they were completely full, with customers sat waiting for a table to become available. Think you can draw your own conclusion from that. Ps One other thing is have a look at the blackboard for their specials- I love the fish and the lamb dishes.

I'm reviewing a takeaway biryani, which was excellent apart from the inclusion of red and green peppers, which have no place in a biryani

Food and services are excellent. Very friendly and food is prepared in front of your eyes. Very tasty food and prices are very reasonable. They also have a place in the basement for celebrations. They do not serve liquor but will allow you to bring your own at no extra cost. They have away facilities too. It is a good place for family and Children, including babies.

Awful place. Reheated stale food. Order Tandoori whole chicken, chicken tikka, wings & sheekh kebabs. Everything was reheated and stale. No idea how old the food was, but some of it tasted as if it had been sat in a fridge for 7+ days. No point going to a restaurant to eat stale food. This place has been around under the same ownership for a long time who seemingly doesn't care for the restaurant. The place is filthy and old. Stained ceilings , dirty chairs and disgusting toilets. Can't believe this place is still open. Shame on the management !

Been going to Balti Hut for over 20mins, still great food and service, good portions and fresh nan only £2.00

A real gem, great food, atmosphere and service. One of the last, remaining Dhaba’s.,, Unpretentious, delicious food… Thank you, I’ll be back 🙏

Nice Indian restaurant with a wide range of vegetarian, meat and seafood dishes. Friendly service.

Amazing great and proper tasty.

Very rude owner..did not allow dine in after 10 pm and started laughing sarcastically. Avoid avoid avoid

Really enjoyed the ambience of the place! Lovely decor! Incredibly helpful and kind staff! Food with no word of a doubt blew me and my partner away! Starters come in nice healthy portions and loved the mains!!! I have recommended this place to many people and will continue to do so!!!

Very nice food pure desi style specially balti chicken it feel like u eating pure authentic food no sweet and taste amazing.

Main owner is very bed behaviour to every customers and not properly ans to customer and not properly paking to food

Everyone was v. polite and nice, and food was ready to collect after 15 mins! Unfortunately a peshwari naan that I ordered yesterday had 2 short black hairs in it, which was off-putting. However I will say this is the 1st time this has happened and I have been ordering from there for years. So I am sure this is not a regular occurrence

Always love the food at Balti Hut. Food is cooked fresh and great quality. Go to place for me and my teenage son. Also BYOB which is good. Chicken wings are so good. Balti chicken also great

We used to go to this restaurant quite a bit and was very disappointed in the services and the quality of the food it has gone right down in both,got a very bad upset stomach from eating here never again best curry restaurant is in ruslip avoid this place like hell

The fastest freshest restaurant you'll find in the area The quality of food is always good and the quickest service even faster than fast food So if you want food quality food and quickly, come here forget about fast food places

Did a take away after a while. Butter chicken was a nice curry but definitely not Butter chicken Chicken tikka masala gravy was delicious Naan we had requested butter naan but got plain naan but were decent What absolutely was spot on was the lamb chops - complements to the chef! Of course will try again. Please introduce home delivery free of cost if the order value is above a certain price and around xyz miles of where you are!

We have eaten in this restaurant lots of times but not been for a while and was disappointed in the quality of the food which is a shame chicken tikki was not good quality and tasty less

Had the chicken kebabs and chicken niblets for starters. Both very good. Main course was Balti Lamb and Handi Chicken with nan. The lamb was gamey but the chicken was excellent. The garlic chilli nans were also very good. The service is good overall. This place is a bring your own booze place. Overall, excellent value for money. Would recommend for sure and will be back.

Excellent cuisine to be had in this battle hardened arena. There is a unique authenticity in the well grounded spices, gorgeous sauces and melt in you mouth flesh and bread. These guys may not be Michelin rated Chef's! but they truly know there Asian craft. A Crown jewel at the lane.

First time trying North Indian cuisine! The service was nice and the boss is very friendly. The food was great and serve on the table quite fast. The Garlic naan and lamb saag was pretty tasty 👅! If you would love to bring your own alcohol/wine, you are more than welcome. *** comment: One thing I would like to share, some of the food were a bit salty, they should adjust accordingly. Apart from that, a friendly and lovely place to njoy

From the moment you walk in, you receive a very homely greeting from the owner, which makes you feel at home. The food is very authentic and is just like home cooked food. The food is full of flavour. Very busy with the locals.

Super place, BYOB. Lamb chops and chicken kebabs are absolutely brilliant. Some veg options. Great service. Book in advance for weekends as it gets busy.

Very small place but makes amazingly tasty food. As the place is small it is always busy and you need to wait a bit to get a table. Food serving is quit fast though.

we had aloo and keema Paratha. both were good.

Excellent authentic Pakistani taste with a very friendly and considerate owner. Food is excellent but not for you if you are looking for high end surroundings.

Food was good, but when I have taken at home, it was leaking from the containers

Lamb chops taste was totally amazing😍

Ordered a Chana masala, being a strict vegetarian all my life, both for religious reasons and ethical reasons, my food contained chicken pieces and looked as though the curry had been cooked in the same sauce as the chicken.I called the restaurant to complain and discuss this as I am feeling physically sick. No apologies was just told mistakes happen when they are sometimes rushing to prepare the dishes!! This is just not good enough. They offered to cook another curry but refused to acknowledge this huge fundamental error, not understanding that I am feeling physically sick and expecting me to ear something prepared again by their chef! If you are a vegetarian I would urge you to reconsider eating food here as they obviously don’t take into account cross contamination and or dietary requirements of their customers seriously at all!!

I just love the food here it tastes so fresh. It's a small no frills restaurant and you can bring your own booze. Service is good and the staff are friendly. Well established and popular so advisable to book at busy times.

Superb testy fresh food ,service is very good ,lots of selection of meat dishes and reasonable prices.

We had chicken tikka and chicken biryani here and we loved the taste. It was so tasty and the staff are very amazing. We will be back soon-😊

Excellent mutton handi,so succulent, beautiful heavy served with perfect naans! So pleasantly surprised

This is the best Indian food ever for uk and you can take your own booze State are very helpful and lovely

Very tasty and delicious food, its finger liciking delicious

Always tasty food. Best lamb chops, tasty kebabs and fluffy naan. Staff amazing.

A pleasant place to go for a meal with friends.

This is a bring your own wine/beer/or your own tipple. Soft drinks are for sale. The food is cooked fresh, the portions are very generous.

The place is small, like a takeaway joint. However they are making it work amazingly I'd probably compare this place as a dhaba. Considering it's environment and the number of people sitting with us while we ate. To my surprise there was a queue for their food We had lamb chops -them were soft juicy and full of flavour We did have the chicken handing which was tasty as yumm... I wanted it super spicy and they sure did make it super spicy . The Naan was beautifully cooked and were mind blowing The host was very nice Staff were very friendly In all 100 out of 10

One simple word: Delicious! This is a hidden gem. Food is freshly prepared in front of you. Fresh taste. Front of house is very warm and welcoming. Another reason why this is hidden gem is that it takes good care of those with dairy or milk free allergies.

The Restaurant had a very friendly atmosphere... It was our 1st time here. The Manger greeted us as we entered and were sitting immediately. We ordered the Karahi Lamb I wanted it mild and Handi chicken with garlic naan and jera rice. The food came pipping hot with lovely naan. I have had Lamb in many restaurants BUT.... This was the best Lamb dish I have had and made mild exactly as I like it. It was really tender with a delicious gravy.. I managed to finish it all. Chicken was also very tasty... We will definitely be going back to try the mixed grill and other dishes. Definitely worth the 5 Stars

We eat out a lot, and as native Indians this is one of the best Indian restaurants Also perfect for allergies. Staff are so kind and really make amazing food

All good taste. There are many keema curry dishes. A good point about this restaurant is that unlike others all curry are not too salty.

Great food, excellent service food portions.

We love the Balti Hut and always try to pop in when we are near Rayners Lane. Friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommend the sizzling garlic fish (special) and the Dahl makhani which has layers of flavours.Bill m

Those entering the Balti Hut in Rayners Lane for the first time must be made aware that it is Highly Addictive! We have been visiting here for over twenty five years and have given up all hope of resistance. Quite simply, the food is beyond supreme. Just when you think you cannot possibly eat another morsal across wafts another round of fresh aromas - spices being ground, a balti flaring up or more bread being retrieved from the tandoor, all prepared, cooked and served by some of the most cheery and professional people on the planet.We have heard of those who have managed to restrict their visits to bi-monthly, and they are to be admired. But I suspect, like us, they depart clutching interim doggy bags. There are flavours here that will find taste buds you never knew existed. A superb family run restaurant that will run and run while others rise and fall around it.This is a good place to be :)

Had a take away from here. It was not good. I had chicken tikka biriyani. No sauce and the chicken was borderline tough and certainly did not taste like chicken. Not one thing was nice and ended up throwing it all away. This was just not my food. This was all very disappointing and I certainly would not recommend this establishment.

Number one, A-class restaurant. Me and my partner go here a lot, shame about the lock down. Would recommend this to anyone. The food is fresh and tastes brilliant. The staff are friendly. H&b

Love this place. My favourite type of Indian restaurant. Its ALL about the food! Tasty and authentic served by a friendly and helpful staff

Starters and main meals were very nice. Friendly, efficient service and reasonable price. A must visit restaurant

Friendly and absolutely amazing food id definetly go there again. Lovely thank you very for the win 💯👌

You must try the Radjma!! This place is a gem if a byo and now with toilets fixed this is a must go restaurant

Bueno, he vivido en el área local durante décadas y, de vez en cuando, siempre he oído hablar de Balti Hut, pero nunca sentí que valiera la pena visitarlo (si soy sincero, lo juzgué por las apariencias externas al igual que algunos de mis amigos ). Después de escuchar a unas cuantas personas hablar de manera muy favorable, decidimos probarlo esta tarde. Wow nos sorprendió gratamente! A todos nos encantó la comida, no pudimos criticar una sola cosa sobre la comida. La decoración interior sin duda podría hacer con un poco de actualización, pero sin duda volveremos! Muy, muy recomendable!

Este es un gran lugar local, dirigido por una familia, por supuesto. Son musulmanes y hacen comida pakistaní típica y deliciosa. No es barato pero el precio promedio para el área. Comida muy sabrosa sin embargo. Son musulmanes y no beben, pero te permitirán traer los tuyos si lo deseas, pero no lo venderán. Buen ambiente allí con verdadera mezcla de lugareños y sin duda lo recomendaría.

Mi primera vez aquí anoche. Bienvenida muy agradable. Las gambas eran deliciosos, el pan Naan es super fresca (creo que es hecho a mano en la cocina) y me gustó mucho el hecho de que puedes ver cocinan la comida ya que la cocina está abierta. Puedes llevar tu propia bebida en también. Volveremos

Metimos en un sábado por la noche. Por suerte para conseguir una mesa de 4 como otras mesas estaban todas reservadas. El restaurante no sirve alcohol, pero no permitirá traer su propio. No vender refrescos. Teníamos el cordero shish kebabs y pequeños con algunos naan pollo. Ambos llegaron a los 15 minutos, ambos estaban bien caliente y sabor increíble.No creo que mucho de los chutneys, parecía venir de un proveedor READY MADE, que tienen su propio.Platos principales, pollo a la mantequilla - era simplemente un curry de pollo básico, recocido, lo que se tradujo en el pollo siendo triturados. No había mantequilla sabor.Me gustaría volver aquí de nuevo, pero sólo para la nada de la parrilla, evitaría el curry.

Never fails to impress, this is just simply the best tasting food in Harrow, the balti keema is to die for!

terrible food. ordered a lamb biriyani. there was no taste or not close to biriyani taste. simply mixed plain rice with lamb curry and added some green chillies. would not recommend at all. terrible.

Vamos a este restaurante al menos 3 veces al mes. Recomiendo encarecidamente el chicen tikka keema curry o la chuleta de cordero. . . . . . perfecto con un tandoori paratha.

You don't come here for the decor, you come here for the excellent food! One of my all time favourite curry spots. Staff are nice guys too.

Been here twice and can't fault the place. The food, service and value is good. Would recommend the okra curry, tandoori mixed grill and the parathas.

A passing visit for a take away on a Saturday evening. One of the best around the area. Gave me an option for mild/medium curry of my choice.

Algunos amigos y yo visitamos hace poco este restaurante la semana pasada y nos disspointed as I was looking forward to con la comida. El primer plato era normalito, y el plato principal, que era el Cordero Karai era muy sosa como si el chef se olvidó de especias y no había sabor a este plato. Mis amigos dijeron que era horrible.

I've been coming her for over ten years and the good does not disappoint. Would recommend the peshwari naan and the egg curry. I am a loyal customer and having eaten all over the world I still come back here

Enjoyed the variety of meat dishes here with friends, the vegetarian dishes were below par simply because they looked and tasted to be an afterthought rather than something a vegetarian diner could really enjoy. Otherwise a good place to eat for carnivores!

Service was good- they are always very hospitable staff friendly and smiling Food was good but mostly lacking salt or...

Este lugar fue recomendado por un amigo que fuimos a cenar aquí y nos trajeron una comida para llevar. He tenido 3 llevar desde - adoro su comida. El curry de carne, verduras y curry mezclado biryanis son perfectamente mezclados y meltingly tender. Tiendo a conseguir entregas como grupos grandes de espeluznante recién llegado chicos pakistaníes o tamil tienden a congregarse aquí mirando fijamente a cualquier chica atravesando la puerta para recoger comida para llevar. Me gustaría sentir demasiado auto-consciente para comer aquí. Precios razonables.

With so many great Indian restaurants to choose in Rayners Lane we chose the Balti Hut after a recommendation. Fantastic food, and great value. My lamb balti was one of the most tender I've ever had. Generous portions too. We'll be back soon with our own BYO bottle of wine!

This is the best Indian food in the area. In fact if I ever get a chance to go here I will never refuse to go here.Starters are top notch as well as the keema and Karahi lamb. If you ever get a chance do go here, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

This evening after a tiring day out we ordered a plate of dal makhni for the first time for takeaway. Disappointingly when the Dal was picked up by my husband his first impression was being unsatisfied with the quantity! But unsure he brought it homeOh my god! When it arrived home we got the shock of our life Firstly the dal had been served cold. Adding to the shock was the fact that it wasn't even dal makhni, it was actually masoor dal being served as dal makhni to customers!I mean why would they do that and why would people accept it But I realised after talking to a man called Sohail as I raised my feedback with him that they don't know the North Indian taste, but they claim to be serving Indian food, which is cheating the customers. We are never going to order and would suggest authentic North Indian food lovers to refrain unless you would be highly disappointed please. Hope it helps

Not only was this restaurant empty their attempts to sit the family in what only can be described as the basement from hellWe walked out amid raised eyebrows that we had no desire to sit in their hallWish I could comment on food but front of house turned us off. Won't ever return.

After moving away from London to Dorset one of the only things I am missing is Balti hut. I had my 21st birthday meal here and the whole family loved it. The staff are so great and the food is so authentic! Not your standard coconut milk and yogurt. This place is the real deal!

I have been coming to The Hut with parents, children and in laws for years and years.It's very much a no frills establishment but the food is fabulous. Added advantage is bring your own alcohol too.

We've been eating here since a few weeks after it opened, many years ago. I can't think why I've not reviewed it before.In some respects it's a bit basic but in the most important area, the food, it excels - which is why it's often packed all evening.The welcome is friendly and there's a large choice of dishes - most of them cooked in front of you on a huge wok stove in the restaurant. Other dishes are produced in a well-ordered kitchen to the rear.My current favourites are the sizzling garlic fish and sizzling king prawns but to be honest pretty much every dish is worth a try; I guess we've tried most of them over the years. Fresh nan breads are made in the restaurant and cooked in a tandoor, also on view. We sometimes book a large table and have family parties there and it's really good for those.Prices are average for this quality of food and BYO alcoholic drinks keeps the cost down.Conveniently situated 200m from Rayners Lane tube station.They also do take-aways.

Been here several times with friends in the last couple months. Food is good. However the salads have come out pretty poor and look like it had been sitting out for some time on several occasions. Glasses have been dirty on occasions. Which doest leave good impressions. The venue requires a refurbishment and looks partly done however the most important part being the toilets have been left in a poor standard. If this place made these necessary improvements and ensured things are cleaned and washed well (and kept to a strict hygiene policy). Then it would be a decent eatery and would happily return.

We ordered:Keema Balti Tilapia garlic fishPaneer tikkaTandoori chicken Chicken tikkaPlain naanGarlic naanKarahi chickenEverything was delicious. It's a small place that's cafe style so not a full on restaurant experience but the food is fantastic.

Just been to the Balti for another great meal. Been going to this restaurant on and off since we moved to Harrow (21 years ago). Food always cooked fresh, meat good quality. Staff always remember us and are always friendly. Very reasonably priced, in fact seems to be cheaper every time we go there. Such a lovely place to spend a night out.

Best Lamb chops in Rayners Lane. Maji Maji chicken is nice as well. Just try not to get a table downstairs.

Great food good prices and bring your own booze always welcome! Naans are scrumptious here fresh hot and tasty

I've been going many years and the curries are always delicious here. I've found the food to be exceptional on many occasions. The meat quality is very good. The lamb curries are particularly nice, nans and chicken starters are very good. Kebabs are great. There is a wide ranging menu to suit most tastes including fish and vegetarian. It is very reasonably priced. Service is excellent. You can bring your own alcoholic drinks.

I've been eating here with my for over 15 years and the food is always very good. Lamp chops are delicious, good choice of curries with as much (or little) heat as you want. Food cooked fresh and great service. BYOB too!

I've been a regular to this restaurant for five years now and could not recommended it more. The food is fresh and we'll cooked, the bread is a particular highlight and I've never found better tikka paneer.

I was at this particular restaurant with a friend of mine, we started off by ordering some poppadom which was accompanied by a bowl of salad, mint and chilli sauce, to our horror we noticed there to be a HAIR in the bowl of salad. The waiter quickly replaced the side tray and gave us another. To add to this I noticed that the mint sauce that was given had many lumps in it, as though it had been made from old yoghurt, although it hadn't gone off the taste really wasn't very pleasant. When I had asked the waiter if I could have some fresher mint sauce, he responded in distain saying: "Fresh?! This is fresh, it was made today sir." I found his tone and expression very unprofessional, especially considering the quality of food served. On top of this, the paneer tikka my friend and I had ordered seemed to be undercooked and really didn't taste how it should. On the plus side, the rest of the food I had ordered was up to standard, i.e. the paneer bhajia, muttar paneer and Bhatura. In my opinion the restaurant as a whole really needs a good cleaning, the place seems very dirty, especially the toilet area in the basement. Lastly the restaurant staff were loudly swearing at each other in Punjabi throughout our time there, hardly professional working behaviour. All in all my friend and I were most certainly not happy with our experience at Balti Hut.

As a local, this is a regular haunt, both as a takeaway and toeat in. The food is so good, and at such reasonable prices it beggars belief. All the staff are vibrant and characterful and clearly love making great food. The interior is very plain and the kitchen is an open one, so don't expect a cosy romantic setting, but doExpect some of the best Indian food around, with noise and smells that are exciting and life affirming.

Popped in to Balti Hut on the way back from a gig in wembley, must say that for a small and fairly run down restaurant Balti Hut's food, service and atmosphere make it a good place to try! Prices are cheap, food quality is fo

The Balti Hut offers well-prepared, fresh cooked food in very casual surroundings. We have been there many times, and concerningly, on our most recent Friday evening visit, the place was almost empty, there being plenty of Indian restaurant competition immediately close by in Rayners Lane. However, The Balti Hut does a good job with its Formica covered tables and bring-your-own booze policy. The food is always good, and overall, the whole place is recommended.

My fiancé and I absolutely love Balti Hut. The curry is amazing and they do the best ever lamb chops. Order a mixed grill, you won't regret it! Service is attentive and the owner is very friendly. The interior isn't that attractive, but when you taste the food you really won't care. I recommend this place to everyone. Will keep going back for years to come!

This place is great! It didn't have a flash exterior but if you appreciate good quality food with a smile it's a must. I had mushroom bhajia, egg curry and paneer karahi with fresh garlic naan and there was nothing left! It was delicious. The sauce was very tasty and fresh. Hubby had meat and was equally impressed. Absolute bargain £12pp!

Staff is very friendly, food is always fresh and delicious... I recomend this place for 100%!!!! :-)

What an awful atmosphere and experience. Family including young daughter decided to eat at this local restaurant. Plenty places to eat around Rayners Lane but decide to eat here based on previous reviews. DO NOT GO. Meal was unpleasant as young boys swearing on nearby table throughout our meal. I had to get up and request the boys refrain from swearing but they still continued. I complained when hesitantly settling the bill but the reply I got was "that is what it is like on a Friday." Will not recommend. Management need to take some control!!!!

This restaurant has been trading for a few years and the first time, years ago, was OK (from memory).We went to celebrate Valentine's recently and were not disappointed.We ordered the Garlic Tilapia fish and King Prawns, with garlic naan and mushroom rice for the 2 of us.The taste/sauce for the prawns and fish was almost identical - a slight disappointment. The mushroom rice had plenty of ingredients but came out a bit soggy otherwise tasted OK. The nan was not of the soft variety but OK too.We felt that it was slightly on the salty side - suited the European taste?My wife noticed that someone handled her naan with her bare hands - perhaps normal too.Overall, we rate it as VG but not excellent for the above reasons. Not cheap but OK.We might try their 'dry' tandoori chicken next time.
