Balti Pickles Indian Takeaway in Solihull

First time I tried the place,I was actually on my way to the chippy,and I seen this place I soon changed my mind an flavour cause I wanted a spinach curry for the longest time,you want I review,I'LL BE BACK,JUST LIKE ARNIE SAID.The food hit all the right places,an I'm not the only one.😀

Really good takeaway shop, the food is delicious and the workers very gentle. I recommend everyone to try this delicious foods

The deliver drivers, chefs and people at the the counter are so kind and the food is soo good the best time to have food is for Dinner.

Just had a delivery my dhansak is like a madrass !

Order from here and the food is always fresh I normally order tikka balti with naan Fully recommended guys!

Absolutely love this Indian restaurant practically almost every week have one ordered the best tikka masala I usually have a range but tikka my All time fave comes hot plenty of and fast service always early never had a problem I would highly recommend and the price you cant complain that’s for sure

The best Indian takeaway ever !!

The best chicken tikka masala I’ve had, always fresh and delicious, Christmas had a box of chocolates and a Christmas card. Lovely touch!! Never use any other takeaway it’s the best !

Very polite, tasty naan, always have game shows on TV and quick service

Ordered at 6 came at 9 when we called they said driver had left which was at 7:15pm, unacceptable as we spent over £50, had my family sitting here hungry bad business will never order from here again

Honest great Indian food...Just try it.We collect our own to save the delivery waiting times..Food has been great..When you go in there the phone doesn't stop ringing.Can only assume it's a liked busy place.

Great service, delicious food & generous portions. Would not use anywhere else now.

Ordered for the first time lastnight.had the Tandoori mix grill main course.&a Chickhen rogan josh.service and food was excellent .diffinetly be ordering again.

It was our first time using Balti Pickle and it won't be the last. Service was 10/10 friendly, polite and very welcoming. Food was ready for collection when they said, and on to the food, had sheesh kebab and chicken tikka puree starters, main, chicken tikka masala, chips, coriander naan, oh and poppadoms with the starter. The chips was the only let down as they were slightly overdone 7/10 but the rest of the food was exceptional 10/10. We will definitely be going back.

Have been ordering from here for a few years now but ended up stopping because there used to be a lot of delivery issues (slow delivery that sometimes took over 2 hours etc), so changed where I order from. Recently decided to give them another try and not only is the food better than I remember, but the delivery time is much better (35 minutes)! The North Indian Garlic Chilli is a brilliant dish. Keep up the good work!

Nice food high standard service

Their delivery driver is a complete 🔔end, the way he speaks to your customers, well done Balti pickles, you've now lost a valued customer thanks to this joker.

I'm not one to post reviews but I felt I needed to after the exceptional customer experience I had. The food is always amazing from here. I am a creature of habit...tandoori king prawn starter with chicken tikka masala and vegetable pilau rice. And all of the above is so so good hence if I want a Indian meal I always go here. The one and only time I received my delivery order and with my starter only received 2 x King prawn and my main was cold I phoned the shop and spoke to the manager. He was so apologetic and promised on my next order he would give me a free tandoori king starter...which is not cheap. True to his word next time I placed a delivery order he phoned me directly to say that he was honouring his word with an additional king prawn starter. And he did! Amazing food and amazing customer service. U will not be disappointed if u order from balti pickles and like me you will return time and time again. Kirstt

Good food. Helpful friendly staff

Today I received a meal from the takeaway and it was delicious and tasty have had before my wife enjoyed her chicken tikka masala and the byrani wast nice and spicy as I ordered would recommend

Hardly any flavours in the curry just chunk off onions and spice inside just tasteless waste of money

Local indian cuisine dishes like chicken biryani etc. Also home delivery is free.

We love this curry house although the last 2 times we have ordered a delivery we have wanted over 2 hours we ordered on tonight at 6.20 and we still have not recived it so we will no longer be using this curry house you dont expect to wait 2 hours plus for a curry its disgusting

Got fooled by just eat reviews, wish I had checked google. Nearly 2 hours for a delivery Very disappointed. Containers were filled with onions and peppers. I asked the driver why was it so late he replied saying they were busy and I should have known better. Very rude unprofessional Will not be ordering from here again.

Disgusting. First time trying balti pickles. Paid for a sad looking pathia with some tiny, unrecognisable "prawns". No sign of any vegetables in the curry other than one sad quarter of a tomato floating around in the sauce, and an inedible piece of lemon. Straight in the bin! Do not waste your time go somewhere else!

The food here is great I have to admit when you enter they are very polite and we always get our Indian food from here the price is good too.thw only reason I'm having to write a review is because I just rang for a few sauces to go with half the curry from the day before that I saved, I rang and asked if I come to the store do I maybe have to pay £2? .. £3? Which I still think is a fortune considering Iv spoken to other shop keepers and know that it doesn't cost alot really but anyway back to the point. £10 pound minimum to pay by card or phone so I didn't get the sauces to finish my meal unfortunately. The chilli pickle especially. Still good for food though I just didn't even know if that was legal anymore..

Beautiful food and thank you for the extra poppadoms and onion salad/dips. Shall definitely be ordering again.

Arrived 2 and half hours after ordering. They service is a complete joke .I ordered keema with peas. I got big chunks of onions with a little keema as you can see from thr pic . If I wanted to eat onions and capsicons garnished with a little keema. I would have asked for it! Won't be using them again !

Very disappointed with the Balti King Prawn ordered tonight. No king prawns in the dish only a few shrimps. Otherwise everything else was ok . Maybe a one off mistake but not an incentive to return .

Food was very nice and good value for money. Kebabs were fresh and spicy and the chicken tikka masala was excellent.

Been ordering from Balti Pickles for over five years, but the service lately is shocking. Delivery currently two hours past it’s delivery window and still not arrived. Was told an hour ago it would be ‘5 minutes’. Perhaps changed hands as we’ve never had this before. Shame a good place has gone to waste.

Thank you for my comp pakoras!! Always go to this curry house its hands down one of the best. Chicken sagwalla is beautiful and the lamb tikka started is 100%!! Thanks again!

Extremely late delivery. Waited over 2 hours for food to be delivered from the time of order. No apology and no update. Seems like they don't care.

Meal ordered 29th Jan, usual restaurant closed. Some reviews said delivery issues, so opted to collect. Staff polite, answered my queries. Advised food would be ready to collect in 40 mins - it was. A slightly different style to our usual, but nevertheless delicious. Complimentary food included and very much appreciated. Will use again for sure

I ordered a takeaway from pickles on sat 30th Jan. I was promised it would arrive within the hour. Over 1.5 hours later and it arrived, stone freezing cold. the nan bread was like rubber, so much so I could've used it as a frisby! Disgusting..I called them to complain. I was told they would do me another, but I'd have to wait a long time to get it. , where is the customer service..?? I was not offered a refund, just a voucher to use next time. I will never give them my money again. this is not the first time I've had problems with Pickles, but after reading the reviews I thought I would give them another go. BIG mistake! My recommendation would be...find another takeaway! I have had to give this 1 star, as I cant give a No star rating!

Best in town🙏🏿👍🏿💯👌🏿😎 vinnie andrea

Spot on delivery time , food was hot and delicious. I had a North Indian chilli curry , it was outstanding.... This is our new lockdown curry house

We ordered Murghi Mossomon, Dakeshwari Murghi, Saag aloo, mushroom rice, everything was delicious! We ordered 5 poppadoms, they gave us 10 and extra mint yogurt and onion salad. Definitely will order from there again!

Use this place all the time now. Menu and quality is superb. Delivery is excellent. I choose ASAP and it really is just that. Comes so quickly with very courteous drivers. I would thoroughly recommend!

Balti pickles mad a mistake when sending out our food they sent starters instead of mains and did nothing to rectify the problem, I won't order from there again I suggest you don't either

Shocking delivery time!!! Waited nearly 2 hours for food, not the first time either....no apology and no discount for inconvenience!! Will NEVER use again! Avoid if you can and take your order to an establishment that appreciates your custom!!!

1st experience of Balti Pickles was disappointing food. My wife went to order the food from the shop and arranged to deliver at 19.30. We ordered the set meal for 1 and tandoori chicken. The set meal for 1 consists of poppadom, onion salad & mint sauce. Sheek kebab starter and chicken tikka massala main, Pilau rice or keema naan. poppadoms and sheek kebab where fine but the chicken tikka massala was extremely sweet no spice flavouring very bland and has 3 chunks of chicken in it. We ordered a keema naan which there was no sign of and ended up with pilau rice. Tandoori chicken should have been half a chicken as pictured on the front of there menu served with salad got 2 chicken legs and absolutely no salad what so ever. Was expecting an onion bhaji as the order was over £15 as stated on there menu, not received. The driver that delivered the food was pleasant enough but was looking for payment but my wife had all ready paid at the shop on order, total lack of communication. Food was ordered for 19.30 and turned up at 19.45 after a call to the shop. First and the last time we will be visiting Balti Pickles.

We ordered at 7pm and we waited till later than 9pm for it to arrive. 2 and bit hours is atrocious. The food was not fresh and not as good as it could’ve been. Never ordering from here again.

Advertised on Just Eat as offering 20% discount on Tuesdays, however we went to collect our order, at which point we were informed they would not apply the discount. We ordered a mixed Balti (lamb, chicken and prawn) and also a chicken and prawn balti. When we got our food home and unwrapped it, we discovered that there was no chicken to speak of in the chicken and prawn balti, only a few miniature prawns. In the mixed balti was one piece of lamb, two miniature prawns and a couple of chicken chunks. It was clearly evident that the bulk of both dishes was vegetable based, as they contained a larger amount of green peppers. This is daylight robbery and contrary to the meal ordered and subsequently promised. Too tired at the time to return it to the shop, but will never order from here again. Very poor.

Ordered via just eat got a collection time of 7.15 ended up waiting a further 25 minutes absolutely ridiculous why give a time & then make me wait might as well of just gone in an ordered won’t being ordering again.

New first experience through just eat as my normal Indian not open , had Lamb Tikka Passanda and had 3 pieces of lamb, when I called they argued that I had seven. Loads of sauce and rice. After service was not great so even though I wasted £12 55 they have lost more as I wont be going back again and will report to Just Eat. Always listen to your customer pickles and listen to what they say rather than make out they are lying !!

Eat here quite often food is excellent everytime and great staff

Outstanding good quality food. We have been using them for a couple of years now. Would Always recommend them

Even though I've moaned about delivery time once before I have to admit this is THE best Indian takeaway around! You do not get the quality anywhere else and we've tried a few in the past. Soooooo good that I've just voted for it on the Best British Takeaway Awards site!!! Hope they win and sorry for moaning 👍👍👍

Price ok food top notch very very clean to we don't go no where else

Food was lovely best curry I've had in a long time and it arrived hot....also I have to say that the person who delivered the food was also very friendly and polite too.

Great food nicest Chiken Tikka in Brum

Food is full of flavour, ingredients are fresh and the staff are really friendly the shop feels clean and welcoming. We will definitely use this place again and recommend it to everyone

Serving food thats rotten abusive staff when informed

TLDR: Ordered food, 2.5 hours later it didn't arrive, terrible customer service. We ordered food at 21:35 on Just Eat being told the restaurant had set our delivery time to be 22:55. We rang to check if our order was going to be delivered at 22:56 as after looking online the restaurant closes at 22:30, we were told yes, and it should arrive within 20 minutes. At 23:26 we rang again (30 mins after the first call, 10 mins after updated delivery time) to be told it is going to be leaving in 10 mins, and it will arrive in over 10 mins. The man on the phone began talking to someone else in the background in a language I don't understand, and kept telling me to wait. After I asked him what he meant by 'over 10 mins' and if he could be any more specific, he hung up on me. My girlfriend rang at 23:31 to see if he would speak to her, he said it was on its way and should be around 10 mins, and then hung up on her. Meanwhile I am on the phone to Just Eat to see if they can make any sense of what the restaurant was saying. At 23:50 the delivery driver rang me to say he was in the McDonald's car park and to meet him there, so we walked out to meet him. He was not there. After asking him to bring it to us, using the address we had provided, I even tried to direct him to us. After around 10 mins of back and forth he finally agreed to drive to the front of the car park, he claimed to be there, he was no where to be seen. He then walked into a shop and asked the guy in there to speak to me to find out where we are (even though he had my address?!) The guy in the shop then gave him directions, and reckoned he would be 5 mins to get to us, and the driver would ring when he was here. After waiting in the reception of the building for around 15 mins, I rang him back, and he did not answer. At which point we figured we weren't getting the food we ordered 2.5 hours earlier, and to confirm with Just Eat that we wanted to cancel the order, and receive a refund.

Fab food and very professional staff.

Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Piping hot food, well within the time. Definately will use again. X

I have passed balti pickles frequently over the years and never used this place before but to my surprise Good value for money and the food was fantastic would recomend this place to everyone. Probably the best takeaway meal i had in years

Nice meal food delivery in 30 mins enjoyed the food delivery driver was nice young man chicken tikka was the best big portion

Really good food, generous portions and honest delivery driver. Gave the driver £20 too much by mistake and he bought it back to the door.

Great Indian takeaway. Good food and very friendly staff.
