Balti Stan in Hyndburn

Very tasty food about watery and very soggy popadoms

Great family Birthday meal.. Friendly staff.. 👌

Lovely food and delivered hot :)

Bought a king prawn passanda and a naan. It was over 15 quid for the curry and it didn't come with rice. the prawns were weird. the naan was good. not going back. poor value.

Amazing food full of flavour. Hot food like just been cooked hot . Very fresh highly recommend loved every mouth full ⭐️

We ordered starters, curry and beer. Everything is delicious. Medal-worthy service. I recommend this inconspicuous

The BEST Indian food and great service. Thank you Friends!!!

I had chicken shashlik it was really good sooo tasty will definitely get it again..

Very reasonable priced and food was outstanding

Always a pleasure eating here the owner and staff are fantastic. The food is always very good. Beautifully clean and well presented. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic 😍 Amazing food and willing to adapt your food to your taste.

The service was impeccable as was the food . The best curry and garlic naan.

Best Indian restaurant ever lovely staff they are very welcoming nothing to much trouble the food is outstanding

Not very busy when we went, two of us on Tuesday. The staff are very friendly and welcoming making you feel at home. The food came quickly and was plentiful and tasty. Would recommend and will return. There was too much for one sitting so it was packed up to take away.

Quick delivery and the curries were delicious. Pakoras weee very soggy and greasy otherwise would recommend

Expensive but incredibly tasty foods, we opted for the buffet, where lots of different dishes can be tried and you can eat as much as you like. The service was second to none. I had not been here for years but i was remembered and welcomed like a regular customer. The service was as it should be, polite and efficient. Would recommend this tasty Indian restaurant which has now been serving delicious foods for over 28 years!

The best balti naga I’ve tasted. Customer service was second to none. Looked after like a VIP. All the food was excellent. This will be my go to buffet, well worth the money and experience ❤️

Great food and portions were good size. 👍 recommend al day long.

Excellent food and staff. The owner is to be congratulated on the friendliness and we think he is wonderful. Visit every time we travel from Scotland 😘

Great service and food. A bit uncomfortable when quiet and staff around observing and waiting to help

Not a bad experience food was good, was still hot overall 4*

Went for Sunday buffet. Fair value. 5 mains, salad, 2 potato dishes, 3 starters,3 rice's on offer. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

I visit this restaurant maybe only once or twice a year, but I get takeaways from here on a weekly basis. I always find the food delicious and the restaurant food and service is excellent.

AMAZING. Might have found my favorite Indian in the UK so far! A must try. great food!! have to try as many starters as possible helps get an idea of all the flavours. Delicious. Will be back 100%

I was in desperate need for a good Indian. But not from the area. Found this gem on googlemaps and all I can say is WOW. Fantastic Food, Great service and so welcoming. Did not expect to possibly find my favorite Indian to date since i moved to the UK. Will 100% be back!!

Below average I would avoid this place there is much better quality about.

Had a lovely meal for 4. All the dishes were excellent - the tarka dhal is amazing. Friendly and efficient service - we were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely return

Absolutely the best of everything. Looking forward to going again

Booked a table for husbands birthday. Food was amazing, staff were absolutely lovely will be back

Always great food and service here

The staff were very nice and friendly and attentive, but unfortunately the food was overall a let down. I tend to opt for mild, but the chicken tikka masala was virtually tasteless. Unfortunately we will not be returning...

Hash brown for Sunday curry buffet! rice tepid, food tasteless ( frozen diced chicken) dated decor, was recommended by a by a friend, wont trust them again....

My partner went yesterday to eat in with her friends and got me a take out disappointed food was bland no flavour chops had no flavour just colouring curry was swimming in oil i would expect that from takeaway at 3am after a night out second time we have been in last 5 years both the same Think in future its shajan to eat in or takeaway bashas indian kitchen

Very nice people serving very nice food 5✨️

Excellent food & service as always ! Just love this place.

Went for the Sunday buffet and it was excellent. Lots of variety for both meat eaters and veggies. Most buffets don't put much meat in the curry but each one here was packed! Special mention to the lamb hundi which was delicious.

Have to say thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Balti Stan . Superb place, 5 ⭐️ Service and outstanding food . Well done , highly recommended

We went for Valentine’s Day and weren’t disappointed! Staff friendly and welcoming, food was fantastic! I can’t believe it’s taken me nearly 2 years of living near Balto Stan to actually go! We will definitely go again

Nice food,good service,friendly staff.

Great food great service. All staff were very friendly and helpful, even gave us advice where to eat different to indian restaurant the following night. Enjoyed by all would visit again if in the area .

Great food, delivery was very quick. Thanks 👍👍👏👏

Delicious food and the best service we’ve ever had in a restaurant. They made us feel like family and it was very enjoyable to be able to have a laugh. Thank you very much to Harun and staff. Wonderful. You have made our evening. We will be back soon.

Top quality food and service. Wonderful and welcoming staff. Thank you to the staff and owner for many excellent meals.

Very good food and the service was spot on

Brilliant service, first class experience. Food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Top quality restroom is top quality food. My favourite one is the Balti Stan special which is out of this world and by far the best curry I’ve had anywhere in the UK and I also think the mix starter and meat samosas are also brilliant. The staff are very attentive and will do anything to help out the owner. Harun is a top-notch block and is always there to just check to make sure everybody is happy as he is very attentive. Yes there are a few comments about it being a little bit cold, but with the rare of inflation on gas and electricity at around 300% over the last 2 to 3 years it’s not surprise he put up his prices massively or has to court with managing the smart as possibly when it is very cold outside and if the place isn’t necessarily full then it’s very difficult to keep the whole room heated inexpensively. My friends come over from Blackburn and Burnley and I travel at least eight or 9 miles to get there and we think it’s my father best value of the curry house in the East Lancashire area if you’ve not tried it, I would definitely recommend it and follow my Balti Stan , special and samosas and I think you can’t go wrong

We stopped for dinner and the food was excellent. First class service provided, would highly recommend!

Went for a birthday meal 15 people in total right from the start it was a very poor experience. 15 people made to sit in the waiting area for 20 mins, we was the only people in and I can see why. We had to ask to be seated. The bar prices are an absolute rip off £17.40 for a double vodka and a pint disgraceful can get cheaper in London. It was absolutely freezing inside people had to keep their coat on to keep warm. Asked to turn heating on and just got a funny look. Service was absolutely awful, very rude, very pushy, one waiter was very arrogant, Food was ok but overall very bad experience. Overpriced, bang average food, rubbish atmosphere. Lot better places than this won’t return or recommend.

Nice place friendly staff shame food doesn’t match 4 meals only one with any taste Chicken masala bright red and totally tasteless all four dishes chicken cut to exactly same size gave impression of bought in from mass suppliers won’t be going again

The go to Indian in East lancashire. Always excellent quality, you service and a pleasant atmosphere

Still as good as ever. Attentive friendly staff, delightful authentic food and the Chicken Hundi and BaltiStan special dishes are superb. Good food as tasty as ever (same chef apparently) and Owner Haroon runs a tight ship..highly recommended. Terminator

The best Balti House in Lancs Great staff A+

Great food and drink options at reasonable prices in a nice atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend a visit.

Came here for 70th birthday meal for my mum. There were 13 of us. Excellent service and the food was outstanding. Pickle tray was good. Some of the sauces I’d never tasted before but they were good. All the different naan breads were cooked to perfection and the wines were in big measures, no half glasses here 😂. We all loved it.

Had a lovely welcome and made at home. Nothing was too much for the staff. The food was cooked to perfection. The prices are in line with other restaurants. The atmosphere was very good and comfortable. None of this push to get you out after the meal.

Great food, great service, made very welcome

Atmosphere scored low but only because we had a very early meal at 4pm and were the only customers.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was excellent. We will be back!

Absolutely disgusting!! Tasteless food me & my partner are also unwell today with an upset tummy. 🤢 thought we would give it a try due to the reviews. We'll keep to our original takeaway cinnamon spice in the future.

Loved it!!! Food was great and the staff were lovely thanks 😊

Great Sunday evening with my mum and brothers. Haven't been in for a few years but the welcome was warm and genuine. Lamb tikka southern special and chicken tikka karahi were standout curries. Palak Paneer yum and chicken pakora, bhaji and garlic nan memorable. Wine is pricey but other comments griping about the price of food ignore the skill of the kitchen.

A superb eat in and takeaway restaurant

Staff very friendly, food amazing hot sizzling great atmosphere

Brilliant food as always, staff very friendly and helpful, definitely recommend

Great place, I've been with friends a few times, staff are really good.

We’ve been patrons 30 years. Without a doubt this just is the No 1 🥇in Lancashire. Never fails to please The bar & restaurant staff and the owner are top class. The Chefs & Kitchen staff are always excellent. The cuisine , always authentic, is to perfection- e v e r y time. We have tried many others - but always returned so only go here now ( often!) Gets a 10 from us. Thank you.

6 of us went to Sunday afternoon buffet. It was excellent, plenty of choice, no restrictions on quantity. The staff were amazing.... Attentive, helpful and very friendly. I'd go again tomorrow; but unfortunately it's Monday.

Great place excellent food always well looked after .

Service and waiters where very friendly and helpful, food was also excellent could not recommend enough

We've lost count on how many times we've been here and it never disappoints. Cannot fault the staff or the food in any way. We'll certainly be back whenever we're in the area. If we lived locally then it would be a weekly visit for sure.

I've not had a takeaway in some time and this is the first time in a long time I've not been disappointed. I've not eaten at Balti Stan for several years and after moving to the area I tried it for a Saturday night takeaway. It was delicious! We ordered a Chicken Tikka Madras and a Chicken Tikka Karahi with Garlic Naans. I couldn't fault it. The sauce was plentiful and not watery, the chicken was good quality thick pieces really well cooked. The naan bread was good sized, not burnt or under cooked. I also ordered a Balti Special starter that was delicious. It cost a total of £30 exactly which I thought was good value for money. I'm looking forward to going back and trying something different.

I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and was not disappointed. The takeaway went down a treat during European football night. Delicious food and will definitely order here again!

Regularly visit while in Blackburn on business, great curry house with friendly staff.

From a friendly welcome to great food and superb service. We were staying at the nearby Mercure and the restaurant was busy and we fancied an Indian meal. What a great choice. So give this place a try

Beautiful place fantastic food 👌

Excellent service and the food was delicious!

Excellent service, excellent experience and would recommend to anyone to come!

Excellent food as always and fantastic service. Definitely recommended for the best Indian food at a good price

Booked in advance and advised of slight allergy to large quantities of drinking-milk (non-alcohol-drinker) that was totally cured by bringing my own. After: cleaning, dressing, taxi and arrival... They told me that my large meal would not make it profitable enough with these details, then asked me to leave their shop. So, no more large parties there, no more good word of mouth to the thousands of residents in Hyndburn, friends or family. Will never ever encourage good word of mouth for them EVER again. Client since 1989. Severly ill for 5yrs and forgotten now the cash isn't enough. Do YOU Really Want to Give THESE People Your Money?

Hands down...the best indian I've been too...naans are to die for #stantheman

Absolutely disgusting, chicken tikka masala is basically red coloured chicken korma, the person taking the order didn't even have the decency to explain that, chicken pakoras came swimming in the oil they were fried in, for just under £4 a portion for the samosas they were tiny, the biryani was very dry, you'd think a garlic naan would have garlic in it and it does everywhere except here, they just brush some garlic flavoured butter on, the "stuffed" paranta came with nothing stuffed in it. These fake hype reviews got me again but it's the first n last time I waste money on this business

Mother's Day post rugby treat Standard Sunday Buffet menu, so not ripped off on price. Wife is sensitive to spicy so could have done with another mild option for her. All dishes tasting as they should, the advertised hot lamb curry, was indeed. I thought that was the best dish on. The chicken starters were cooked to perfection with the real oven and spice tastes. Poppadoms and pickles completed a great eat. Service is as always excellent 👍

The service provided by the staff here is very good. They are so friendly and move rapidly to provide drinks and a menu. The food is constantly of a high standard both in quality of produce and also taste. My partner has a vegan diet, and they always accommodate her requirements. It is always an enjoyable experience.

Nice atmosphere. Nice friendly staff. Good quality food served.

Food for our taste was poor starters bland staff really nice

Sunday Buffet - Disappointed. Very basic food, no poppadoms, just onion bhaji and some potato rosti as starters, 3 choices of curries for main including a chickpea curry. Naam breads poor. Used to be really good, but the lack of customers and a poor atmosphere tells its own story. Living off past reputation. Won't be returning.

Lovely meal. Delicious, natural food, real chefs and great service. The food was excellent. Exceptionally friendly and polite staff. All of the food was delicious and fresh. Thanks for a lovely evening. I think we have found our new favourite Asian restaurant. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great indian, been a few times, always good

Great food, lovely welcoming staff, good prices

Food was ok but so so pricey. 3 drinks two were soft drinks and came to £15. Scandalous. Won't be going back in a hurry

This was our first visit to this restaurant in quite some time, but we were pleased to find that we enjoyed it as much as ever. I had prawn shashlik and my partner had chicken saag. Both dishes were excellent. The service is friendly and professional. We won’t leave it as long until our next visit.

Loved it as always the best ever

Good food definitely coming back

Our very favourite Indian. Just wish we lived closer. Always a winner when we are down visiting family.

Great meal, outstanding service.

Absolutely furious!!! If I could give zero stars I would. I Rang up at 2pm and booked a table for me and my 2 boys at 5.30pm for the Sunday Buffet. I advised the staff member on the phone that the table was for 1 adult and 2 babies..no issue! I even rang at 5pm to ask if they had x2 highchairs (so that I wasnt bringing the pram and taking up lots of room)..yes no problem. I arrived and as soon as we came through the doors the manager came out and refused us service. Told me there was no tables. I told him I had rang hours previous to book, he said sorry we cant give you a table for just you and 2 babies we have the buffet on. So I told him yes thats why we're here and why we booked a table..for the buffet. I asked if he was the manager, he said yes. I explained I dont understand why I am being refused a table when I booked and the restaurant was pretty much empty. Then he said it was because my eldest was crying to which I said yes because he has autism and he doesnt like me putting him down on the floor, he likes to be carried at all times so once we get seated at a table he will be fine. He still refused us. Anyway long story short I was absolutely livid because I had wasted £6 on a taxi to be refused service to which the manager did pay the taxi fare back. (Which I know he only did this to hurry me out as he could see I was getting quite agitated). I ended up making my way to Hyndburn Bridge just down the road as the kids were hungry snd had not had any tea due to me planning to go to the Balti Stan but I CAN DEFINITELY say I will never return again to Balti Stan with or without my children. What shockingly rubbish customer service!!!! I fully recommend Hyndburn Bridge, I've been a few times and they're more than welcoming and accommodating. Now I didnt let the altercation with Balti Stan ruin our family night but I would definitely avoid if you're a single parent with a baby! What an absolute joke! Ps. Before anyone says 'its because the eldest was crying and its a restaurant where people want to enjoy there food'. The minute my eldest was sat on the seats near the entrance waiting for the taxi home he was silent and we was still refused a table. ++ the fact I have supervised in restaurants and also worked in hospitality for years so I thoroughly understand the situation. We wasnt even given chance to get through the door nevermind sit down and get settled before being refused service. I would of completely understood if we was sat at a table with my child causing a disruption to other customers. Seems they are very much money orientated and once they had seen I had a 2yr old and 6month old baby they refused a table in hopes they could cater for a bigger family and make more money. I have never once been refused service or entry to a restaurant or food place. I will be reporting this to the Trading Standards and also the Equality and Human Rights Commission for discrimination. I am absolutelt appalled at the service and embarrassed to say the least with the commotion the staff caused. I had roughly 5 staff members all stood behind the manager looking at me like some sort of criminal.

Good meal. Good service. Good atmosphere. Thank you.

So expensive! Rice and chips do not come with the main dishes. Ended up spending £70 for 2x starters, 2x curries, 2x rice, 1x chips, 2x pints, 1x naan bread. That's a day's salary! Each main is roughly £12, and a small plate of rice is £3.75!! No wonder the owner drives round in a private reg Range Rover(!) Daylight robbery! Never again.

Always a good meal here. Nothing too much trouble for these guys. Food and service impeccable.
