Balti Raj in Birmingham

Very tasty food and service fast

Chicken Tikka Biryani very Nice

Ordered on Just Eat, grabbed the 2 person meal special - T bone steak, Mixed Buna, Chicken Shashlick, Bombay potatoes, chips, nan, poppadoms... really all the trimmings with additional extras for under £30. If not for the long wait time and late arrival would have been 5*. I would recommend

I ordered food from here via Deliveroo. The food arrived 30 minutes later than the estimated time (although they're 5 minutes drive from me) and was cooling and soggy/stale by the time I got it. The food was spicier than expected (my lips and tongue are still tingling 10 minutes after eating some 'mild' curry. Disappointing. I'd never pay to eat from here again. 😞

Very good food, fresh and arrived hot,will definitely be back

Been our go to for years and years never had a bad meal from here food is Amazing!

Delivery takes the piss. I ordered food from Uber Eats, whoever my delivery driver was, he was rude and arrogant. He received my address very clearly. The location I’m at has two postcodes: one ending 7sx and the other 7ss - both postcodes will get you at the same location. I called him to ask how long it would take, rudely he hang up by saying you should give me one postcode, without understanding that both postcodes are technically the same. He kept talking and don’t let me finish and explain him and he hung up two times while I wasn’t speaking. When he was outside, he was walking towards me, I was ringing him and noticed him, I waived I said is it you? He didn’t respond, I thought he might not have heard, I said it again, he ignored me. Don’t do delivery job if you don’t know how to get to a simple address and sorry to say but if the guy was even a bit friendly, I could have been a bit patient and understanding but it is his mistake and he shows me attitude?!

Amazing food as always, fantastic customer and delivery service. Very kind and polite, takes messages of food into account and prepares as requested. I have disabilities so I truly appreciate, staff's patience when delivering food. I feel guilty for constantly ordering from Balti Raj, I just can't stop. The food quality is amazing and honestly affordable. I have bought food from other restaurants, where the portion is just about enough for one person and everything is so expensive, that we have ended up going without food, at times. However, I have been grateful that we are getting something to eat and because of my grateful attitude. I have been blessed to remember about Balti Raj and we have been eating well since ordering from Balti Raj, Alhamdulillah. Sorry for my long review, InshaAllah I hope others get to experience the amazing food and service, I have been receiving. Thank you chef and all the staff, may Allah swt bless you all with good health and wealth, for your hard work and patience, Ameen.

The starters were definitely reheated and not fresh and the whole meal was nearly cold it used to be lovely but not anymore

Ordered food at 1am on just eat order processed fine but as soon as it comes to “on the way” 2 hours later it changes to “enjoy your food” and it still has not arrived after calling the restaurant’s asking where my order is I get told 5 minutes and get the phone hung up on me 20 minutes later still not here! not very happy or helpfully DONT ORDER FROM HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR FOOD 4 HOURS LATER

Ordered food at 6pm. Estimated delivery time 7pm. Called at 7.30 pm advised it’s out for delivery. Called again and again food arrived at 8.30pm. Food was bland, no spices just tomato based sauce. meat dishes undercooked and had to reheat as it was cold. Had to throw majority of it away as it was awful!! Asked for a refund and was ignored. Will not be wasting my time and money ordering from this restaurant again.

I ordered butter chicken and they gave me something else Whitch is awful. Service is terrible they told me it was 20 minutes away and I was waiting for a total of 45 minutes on top of the 20. Over a hour total! And when I told them it was the wrong order they said that the kitchen was closed and it’s the way they cook the food, when it is clearly not what I ordered. Wrong order, Horrible service, awful food and awful waiting time. Do not choose this place. I was promised a free delivery the next day whitch im shore was a lie and will update the review tomorrow if it actually comes. But for now avoid this place. NOT WORTH IT!!!!

Curry was really tasty but the naan was thin ans chewy with hardly any garlic or cheese and delivery was an hour late.

Terrible service made me wait a whole hour!!! till I called them to check wer my delivery was and I was told they can’t deliver the food.

Nice Asian food. Would give 5* but delivery always takes long time and most of the times something is wrong with the order. So waiting for long to receive your order mixed up, quite frustrating, BUT the food taste good (even something you haven’t ordered;) and after feeding the stomach frustration goes away. I always give them a go and just being patient.

Delivery is almost 25 minutes late so far and poor response from restaurant couldn't work out if the driver had even left so no idea when it will arrive

Outstanding food Best tasted food on the planet Feel like coming back again and again

This wasn't a good experience, I ordered food and it was delivered over an hour late, the food was cold and didn't have much taste at all, the starter was bland, the rice was burnt and the curry was far too salty, I wasn't expecting a life changing meal but this was extremely disappointing - I wouldn't mind too much if the food wasnt cold and extremely late...

Great Value Great customer service

Lovely 😍 quality curries at a great price. Helping the cost of living. Helping the community.

placed an order for delivery, waited over an hour past the expected delivery time and still hadnt arrived. I rang the restaurant multiple times, finally got through to them and asked how long the driver will be, they said it would be 5 mins and 30 mins later the order still hadn't come. the restaurant stopped answering the phone, dont bother ordering from here

Said delivery would be 1 hour after 2 phn calls it finally turned up only 1hr an 10 min late. So 2hr 10 min!!!! My order was quite substantial over £50. Says it all when the driver said he had to go to alum rock first before coming to shard end. Obviously it was cold! To top it all off food was terrible, order was wrong missing items. Got to be the worst experience of ordering a takeaway. Wont be ordering from them again. I hope people read this review before thinking about ordering from bati raj

Food never came, when asked where the food is, I was told absolute lies, that it was on its way. Don't order from here! Customer service is laughable at best.

Ordered online at 17.55 rang at 18.44 to be told be 2 minutes (clearly lying) rang agaon at 19.03 to be told round the corner another 10 minutes until eventually arrived to the most unfriendly delivery driver who just laughs at you and is rude(no apology for lateness) was hoping that the curry would be worth the wait,but no what a massive disappointment, poppadoms was missing, luke warm curry which was very tasteless, We was hoping to use Balti Raj over the xmas period, however will not be using or even recommending due to very POOR ATTITUDE & SERVICE

*EDIT* order arrived after a very long wait Order never turned up and the customer service was extremely rude and unprofessional, hanging up on us a total of 3 times after asking where our order was, even after kindly asking them not to put the phone down. I don't understand what kind of business does that. I do not recommend ordering from here.

Absolute joke placed my order when it was open took over half an hour to say they couldn’t accept my order then had to wait an extra day for order honestly don’t waste your money just order from somewhere you know your food will turn up if I could zero star this review I would

They don’t answer the calls, hardly no how to speak English and are absolutely unprofessional. The food is great whenever they decide to actually get it to you! They have occasionally cancelled but apparently don’t no what’s going on. Either fix up or just don’t run a business you can’t handle. No point in making a bad name for yourself because of your disgusting and disrespectful attitude. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Omg worst food god forbid jalfrezi was disgusting had me vomiting smelt so bad

Took a punt on this one from our usual place as it was on uber eats. On the plus side, it was inexpensive. I won't say value for money as, well, value implies a great product for a reasonable price. I had the naga mixed meat. She had a vegetable paneer curry. And a keema naan. Took forever to arrive, well over an hour twenty minutes, thought it was becoming ridiculous and eventually driver showed up. The Naga was okay, not terrible, and was definitely spot on heat wise, and Naga flavours (not too salty like some reviews I've seen) My issue was the meat was tiny little diced pieces of meat, really chewy and not anywhere near the standard of meat, or quantity I'd expect at any price. Just sauce and tiny bits of chewy meat basically. Underwhelmed. Her paneer was more or less the same sauce but with - well - a few token bits of paneer. The naan was okay, didn't seem very fresh keema, and all in all it was disappointing. Won't order from there again, simple. Would gladly pay more for better produce.

The food is really nice;and they don’t speak english they try their best.

Soapy taste in balti. Very disgusting. Made me feel sick. Very small portion of chips and low quality. Rice was fine. Nan bread basic (tasted abit doughy and undercooked) but fine. Overall not the best quality and suspected cheap ingredients. Driver extremely unfriendly. Would not order again

Terrible terrible service. Food never showed, didn't answer their phone. First time we managed to get through they said it was on the way, hour later still nothing. Ended up having to cancel it and go without food as partner had to get up for work and couldn't really wait another 3 hours to eat.

AWFUL! NEVER EVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN.

1st time I ordered food from them. Food was amazing and exactly on time with lots of extras.

This place is ridiculous! It is 01:30 and my food still hasn’t arrived, there is no communication from the restaurant, they don’t answer the phone, and when they do they are rude and dismissive. NEVER ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT

Never order from here if you actually want your food to turn up!!!! Food took 2 hours to arrive! Called resturant multiple times amd no-one answers. Just never order from here

Fishy poppadoms. Incredibly rude staff when I arrived to collect. Awful.

Ordered at 6pm now 8.30 no food and not answering the phone second time this has happened never again. Terrible service

1st time and last time end of story ,not the best

Bad resturant , If you order 10:00 p.m You food ariive 2:00am What is this???

This place is great. Value for money, perfectly hot meals and amazing flavours. Can't recommend this place more.

Excellent food excellent service

Best food and delivery service in Birmingham. I will recommend to my friends. Thanks to balti raj.

I am in Birmingham since a month, for the first time I had such a delicious food in a while. Last week I ordered “Raj Naga Special” & collected by myself. It was such a wonderful experience. The chef was Awesome! Staff was so friendly. I would like to have such food daily. Soo Yummmy!!!

Food is amazing so tasty, highly recommended

The balti was all hard and chewy. It didnt taste like chicken breast was more of the thigh which was undercooked and chewy, which had to be disposed off. Im pregnant and will most likely end up with diarrhoea. It really wasnt worth the money and the time waiting for it. The staff can barely talk english so was really hard to understand what they was saying. I understand they have to run a buisness but just be honest with customers instead trying to brush them off. Delivery driver wasnt even apologetic when arrived despite being late! Very disappointed. I wouldnt be ordering from this place again and i will let everyone else not to order also.

Lack of communication and skills with the food. First time ordering from this "restaurant" and it will be my last. Balti pickles is the only restaurant for me, this one seems like fraudy.

Waste of my money and time. After two hours I got my order, with the impression that they would be quick a delivering with their quote “deliver within ten minutes.” I know that is unrealistic. But they shouldn’t have their customers under false advertisement. Had to call them seven times to see where my order was after saying it was delivered. Not only that I had to wait half an hour before it got delivered to my doorstep. I am fuming. Lack of quality in the curry, half cooked naan bread and to top that off, I am missing items. They had two hours to get that right. Not only does this “restaurant” lack communication skills, they are also run by a group of amateurs. The only thing that I actually enjoyed was the drink that I ordered (I had some of my drinks missing) and the popadoms. Disappointed and angry.

Have used this place twice for a delivery. 1st time I ordered I was sent a tikka masala instead of vindaloo. Gave them a 2nd chance but 2nd order I received no rice which was ordered no tikka and next morning I found a piece of paper with my address and phone number on the doorstep. Shoddy customer service pathetic delivery and truly abysmal correct orders I certainly will NOT be using again and I strongly advise others to think twice before pressing call

The food is fresh and very tasty, very friendly staff

Horrible meat balti full of bones and grizzle never order from here again

Top food ordering from here and I had no problem with the food . Good job guys 👍👍.

First order tonight won't use again awful. Chicken was odd texture & chewy in mine which I left could eat it.husband chicken balti for some reason had 3 meats in it.onions for poppodoms were large dry chunks with hardly and sauce.

The food was really good! I ordered a chicken tikka jalfrazi, lobster bhuna, pilau rice and a chapati 👌👌

First time i ordered from balti raj couple of days ago.....i must say that the food was delicious and piping hot when it was delivered. Delivery time was accurate and we were very pleased with the food, the onion bhajis were to die for!! Lamb and chick tikka Biryani was the best too! Thanks balti rajj! Will order again soon

Anoche pedimos comida para llevar de Raj Balti como obsequio para los amigos, pedimos Shahi Chicken Makhni, mezcla de plato a la parrilla, Nan y Tikka masala, la comida era muy agradable y se entrega caliente, me encanta pedir de ellos de nuevo, 5 estrellas?

Exelent service experience sheff

Wasn't great, lacked any depth of flavour. Chap was very friendly though.

The best Indian food I have ever had. I will never order from anywhere else again.

Order from here quite a lot and the food never lets me down...perfect spice and taste 🍛

The food is usually good, prices are very fair, staff are always friendly, but every time we've ordered online, it's always arrived late. Tonight we waited for two hours and had to call to find out what was happening. Won't be using that option again.

Great food delivery on time nice and spicy

El arranque estaba frío, pero aparte de eso absolutamente increíble! ! Se agregaron papas adicionales gratis, sigan así

Was very good lovely food and good service

The food was not that nice very saucy and not enough meat in my curry no seating area to sit down and eat so its not a nice place to eat

Was waiting for 2 vindaloo's over 25 minutes. 5 pieces of chicken on each. Couple pieces not propa cooked. I got it with rice so portions was small. Its just 2 sofa's in fir waiting. 1 single 1 double not any music so it was not easy specislly if someone burn some food and i can smell this. Why 2 stars ? Becouse the taste is not really bad. But nothing special. I will never back there again. Was eating vindaloo like 2 minutes way yesterday from balti raj and it was amazing. I really feel bad had spend over 8 £ for 25 mins waiting and bad, uncooked food.

Fresh ingredients and spices make this restaurant a place that beats all the others you can tell a good restaurant they use fresh chillies instead of dried crushed chilli

Ordered a takeaway meal so no comment about the premises. I ordered a "Credit Munch For 1" which is a poppadom with a dip and salad, a starter, a main dish with pilau rice, naan or chips, which is not bad for £8. The seekh kebab starter and balti chicken main that I chose came in good time but the quality was only OK. The balti, in particular, had a strong tomato taste which overpowered the other flavours. Hopefully it is a one off but I won't be keen to order again.

Horrible. Such a shame. Used to be so nice

Terrible. Always late, sometimes forget. Staff are rude, shouting down the phone. TERRIBLE!!

We have a take away around once a week as a treat. We have used Balti Raj amongst others . Last Friday they surpassed themselves. We ordered the meal deal for two which at £16.00 including delivery is excellent value for money. We split the chicken tikka and onion bhaji starters between us, plenty of salad and raita along with poppadums along with a portion of bombay aloo. The main courses were chicken and mushroom balti for me, chicken tikka sag for him. Mine was perfect for me, I cannot remember when I last enjoyed a meal that much, either eat in or take away. We had a meal delivered from Balti Raj the previous week and let them know when we ordered Friday that we had found it too oily. They thanked us for the feedback and said they would ensure our meal would not be too oily. True to their word it was bang on. Delivery was within the 45 minutes they advised and the delivery driver is always so polite. You have to speak as you find and we all have our own personal tastes and preferences. This meal met all my expectations and we will definately continue to use Balti Raj.

Ordered a takeaway for collection they said 20 mins waited 45 mins. The food was disgraceful it tasted like a whole bucket of salt was poured in. Could not even eat a mouthful it went straight in the bin. The lady could barely speak english so waste of time complaining she just about got the order correct after five times repeating it. Awful awful awful

Always ordered from here, the credit Munch deals are brilliant value... however!! The last 2 times meals have been incredibly salty, and the 'starter' foods virtually cold. Also arrived early, but this specific time we received no notification that it was being sent on the way. We were in the pub at the time, the delivery time said 10.40. The pub is a 3min walk from where we live, so we were all set to leave with coats on at 10.30, however we got a phonecall at 10.20 saying I'm here now. We left immediately, didn't say bye to the people we were with, explaining we had no warning and it said another 20 mins yet. 3 mins later another phone call (as we were 30/60 seconds away) literally shouting at us down the phone that we need to hurry up because he's going to leave?? On arrival he couldn't hand over the food quick enough then even admitted he was in the wrong. The mushroom chicken tikka tasted like it had a whole pot of salt in it, and the starters were cold. Very disappointed because we've loved ordering from this local takeaway over the years but will no longer be using them!

Almost two hours to deliver my mediocre food cold.

Good takeaway balti at reasonable prices. 'Credit Munch' is my fave. Choice of starter, main and rice or naan for £8. You can pay extra for speciality dishes, sea food etc, but there's a lot of choice at the basic rate.

Always order from Balti Raj. Never fails to amaze us. The food always arrives early and its always boiling hot. We always have enough food for the next day and its always cooked to a high standard. The staff and delivery drivers are always polite& whenever we need help they help us, for example when Just Eat messed up our payment Balti Raj were on the phone to them straight away. Never have they missed anything out of our order and we will continue to order from here. :) Thank you& well deserved 5 stars.

Honestly never fail to impress such good food and always early for delivery drivers are always friendly x

Ordered a takeaway.After an hour and a half and several telephone calls it arrived. Well they should not have bothered as it was positively the worse lamb tikka, i telephone to complain and he said he would send me round a chicken tikka straight away this was just as bad and i refused to take it off the driver. The egg in the kebab was black. I called for a refund and well the manager was as bad as his food , in the end i had to get a taxi to take it all back and get a refund. They have just taken over this takeaway and it must be the worst in the area. His attitude stank, i would suggest they go and try the food elsewhere to see what it should be like Not Boiled Lamb with a little bit of red pepper that had never seen a flame or tandoori in its live. I would save your time and effort, and also on my visit would never order from there again

Great meal, again! Food was got, communication was excellent. Really polite friendly establishment 😁

always order from here. never had a problem and the food is always perfect, wouldn’t order from anywhere else.

Amazing customer service, delicious food! Food always piping hot on arrival.

Can not fault anything. Excellent service Beautiful food. Tandoori King Prawn👌👍

new management have ruined the menu ... and the food has given me a stomach ache ... very disappointed as this was my go to for a curry! 😞

While the food was really amazing, this is the second time that we have ordered and had our Drink we ordered be forgotten, while we still had to pay in full for what was missing. Will not be ordering again

Great food, Well priced, Quick delivery, Friendly staff, Highly recommended :-)

Lovely ordered meal deal for 1...butterfly prawn starter with lamb tikka mushroom and pilau rice everything was spot on....defo recommend and will now be my new Indian takeaway of choice 👍🏻

The chef has changed and the food was very disappointing. It was cold . The mixed kebab starter was bland and tiny. The meat samosa was void of any meat that you could taste , more like a bland potato paste. the mutton Bhuna , was not a Bhuna at all tasteless and watery with only a very few pieces of tiny mutton in it. The nan was hard and burnt. Really very very disappointing meal. A waste of money. The delivery man was polite so the that was the only positive point unfortunately.

Arrived very quick. Will be ordering again

lovely food, early delivery and the food was hot and tasty when arrived .

Food delivered on time, piping hot and all meals very good, would recommend.

Great food and service, my rice was forgotten but when i phoned about it they was really apologetic and sent another one straight out and on arrival was given a voucher for a discount on my next order, great service.

Food is excellent value, amazingly tasty with generous portions. Takeaways are ver good as well. Staff are really friendly always welcoming and you are treated well at all times. The atmosphere is relaxed and I would highly recommend this restaurant. I have visited all the Indian restaurants in Hinckley over the years and this is by far the best. If you are unsure what to order, explain your spice preference and the staff will always offer recommendations if you are stuck which is really nice.

Lively food and excellent service

Fantastic Curry, fast service, highly recommend to anyone

it’s a shame for me to have to come on here and leave a negative review but I was missing a starter from my bag. They said I was lying and would not refund or supply me with more. spoke to just eat who helped with the situation but this is the 3rd order that has gone wrong ! I love the food too it’s a shame to leave it a negative review. Thanks for just eat helping me when Balti Raj would not !! very nice food but may end up in the same boat I was.

excellent as always, food piping hot and always on time, wouldn’t go anywhere else

Lovely food, deffo ordering again

very nice meal, the order came very quickly and it was real cheap too, i will be ordering from them again :)

Absolutely love the service and the food. I highly recommend it to anyone.

absolute disgusting food never order from here in your life!! I’ve got food poising
