Bangla Balti House in Southampton

Firstly, tried to deliver to our neighbour! You've heard of "where's Wally"....well my curry was "where's the prawns"? Loads of very flavoursome sauce, but very little else. So HUGELY disappointed as the last time we ordered, food and service were amazing - thought this establishment was going to become our 'go to' place, but sadly not. On a positive note, my husband quite enjoyed his Chicken Tikka Madras and the peshwari nan was OK (but possibly a little too sweet). Still looking for a local Southampton Indian takeaway that consistently delivers high standards - but this place for me, isn't it. For £30, my expectations were nowhere near met.

Menu clearly states nan bread included with balti curry. None delivered and when I called to question this I was told the online menu is old and it’s no longer included. Misleading advertising and a con. They also claim a food hygiene rating of 5 on their website while the official ratings site confirms only a 3 when tested in February 2024. Avoid this place!

Absolutely fantastic food ive tried so mucb here and all has been so good and the people who run it our also lovely

Ordered some food through just eat the delivery driver phoned up and told us he handed our food to someone outside our block we called restaurant and they said we never ordered and has got nothing to do with us even though we did they must be scamming people this is totally unacceptable ******BEWARE DO NOT LET THEM SCAM YOU AVOID ORDERING FROM THESE INCOMPETENT IDIOTS ********

Food very average, better places around

Phoned up and asked how long wait would be told 45-50 mins okay no problem ordered our food for it to arrive 1hr and 30 mins later, with the food being undercooked and cold, phoned the restaurant straight away to get it collected and money back was told no get discount on next order as if we would order from there again, we refused that option so was told driver would return in 40’mins to collect food and give refund. Nothing 2 hours later so called up to be told manager sent out fresh food to another house by mistake and was told driver had gone home so can’t have a refund that night. We was then told to come back Tuesday for a refund and guess what today was told no. Don’t use this restaurant, manners and customer service is shocking. Money grabbing establishment for undercooked and cold food. Avoid at all costs. Watery curries, undercooked boiled chips cold rice etc. will never ever order from here again. I would personally not even rate this 1 star. Disgusting

They changed the chef,which food is a lot different and more expensive.

I would give 0 score if I could waited a hour and a half chips weren’t cooked food was freezing cold when I phoned the shop the guy was rude, do not order from this place will be reporting this company to food standards food is absolutely horrible how can you send this kind of food out to customers it’s disgusting I do not recommend ordering from here

Chips with order were undercooked, main tikka meal was bland. Order chips instead of rice so disappointed with meal due to above

Best Indian takeaway around Southampton got introduced to it best part Of a year ago and haven’t had a bad meal yet lovely stuff

Firstly, I trust any restaurant where I can see a kitchen, kinda shows to me they have pride and confidence in their work and cooking area. Secondly, while they were cooking my meal and others, I was still greeted with a smile and a "how are you?" an experience that seems rare nowadays. I waited a short while and took my food ready to go. Food was well cooked and every dish we tried from the set menu for two was delicious throughout. I can't handle my spice so the wife took care of those dishes for me and I eat other bits. We ordered Bhajis and Peshwari Naan on top which I think are always a must and they too were full of flavour and huge. We were so full we have had to save the rest so portion sizes are also a plus! If I had to give one slight against the place it'd be that delivery is cash only and in a post COVID world I never carry it. However the pickup experience was so good I'm glad I went. Thanks again guys we will definitely be seeing you again soon.

Friendly staff, great freshly prepared food and at a very reasonable price. It's always our #1 choice for an Indian take away.

Never had a bad curry from these guys

ordered 2 meals mine was lamb balti which was full of buckshot from a shotgun which tells me these were not killed humanly complained and took the food back and was refused a refund terrible customer service please avoid this place and my wifes meal was totally wrong when she spoke to him on the phone he said well that's what you ordered darling not interested at all please dont trust this place avoid at all cost

Ordered my usual order. Lamb balti, chicken korma and boiled rice. My chicken dish totally wrong! My husband found buck shot in his lamb! Phoned the restaurant to complain, eventually spoke to a manager who said he would speak to his supplier about the inhumane way of killing of the lamb. He then said he would place the order again. I told my husband I wasn't happy with this. I phoned the restaurant manager who said "sorry darling too late" we've started cooking it, too late for a refund! I told him I will leave a review telling people of the inhumane way of killing of animals and my service, he said "Yeh, I will reply!

Tasty takeaway, good quality food, especially their side dishes are very good

Excellent meal, lovely flavours, I haven’t had such a lovely Indian meal for years! Lovely delivery lady, very friendly.

Really nice vindaloo and my Fiancee and friend liked their tikka and korma too. Friendly service although the older man sometimes gets very confused. The keema naans and rice were spot on too.

Ordered delivery on time, big portions, hot, even gave me a extra dish of rice, best I've ordered in Southampton, very polite driver, please try this curry house. 10 out of 10 thanks

The best Indian takeaway local to me. Food quality is beautiful and consistent. Excellent value, fast delivery and customer service is always great.

Amazing fresh food been eatting hear for years and interduced so many friends. They have a open kitchen and you can literally watch them make your food from scratch perfect quality and always quick and friendly service Very very highly recommended

Food very cold and badly smell I throw it straight away to bin just wasting time and money!

Very dirty place, disgusting customer service I have food poisoning never ever again! people please be careful with this cowboys!!

Friendly service, wonderful experience

Good food, good service. My Son loves it.

Just had my first ruby from here ,well satisfied

Love the Indian takeaway from Bangla Balti House. One of the best we ever eaten. Is a family run business and the staff there are always very helpful and friendly with their customers.

The Bangla Balti House deliver excellent food. Better than most of the food I ate in my 2 years experience in India. Always helpful, prompt and interesting.

Very pleased with takeaway meals will use again

The quality of food it’s great, I’m love it! 45 min time waiting for food it’s OK, when it’s worth it !

Lovely good, excellent service! Always my regular for an Indian takeaway! 😊👌

Food always great, I love that I can watch them cook it too!

First time ordering takeaway from here but can honestly say what we had was delicious. I ordered the King Prawn dansak which was one of the tastiest curries I have had in a long time , my partner had a vegetable Rogon Josh which was also very tasty. Because the price was so good we over ordered with other sundries ! ... Will definitively order our Indian from this takeaway from now on .. Highly recommended from us .

Silly gentleman trying to pretend to be a English jack the lad type said 'What you after' instead of 'What would you like'. I couldn't make an order because apparently fryer was being cleaned, I am new to the area with a big family and wont be returning here ever again, I went to an Indian restaurant further down the road.

First time I’ve ordered from here and the food was lovely will definitely order from here again.

Good quality food and excellent flavour. Not had any issues from these guys and recommend them to everyone I know.

Our local Indian takeaway. Consistently tasty food cooked in front of you while you wait. Good portion sizes, fair prices and pleasant staff.

excellent food and good value. The service is friendly. I ordered a chicken tikka dansak which is always excellent and the best I've had.

I have been using this takeaway as my one of choice in Southampton for some2-years: the cooking is fresh and the portions are generous. I like the chicken biriyani, the jalfrezi, the mixed grill tandoori and the Baltic especially. The prices are good too. The two guys cooking and serving are friendly and the order is on time when you phone in advance. It’s a 10/10 on quality and value for money. A big choice of dishes from an extensive menu. In the evening there is ample parking, you just turn left on Winchester Road and take the first left psst the bathroom showroom: shop .

Great takeaway food, excellent service.

Great quality food on reasonable price and very friendly staff . Highly recommended Indian takeaway 😊

Lovely meal, just as we remembered as regulars before moving away. Four years since our last meal with this restaurant and they still remembered us. The high standards are still there and the service is excellent. Best wishes to the elderly gentleman on his well deserved retirement.

Lovely food and all cooked whilst you watch. Very friendly staff too.

Always a excellent curry. No matter which variety we choose! Love the fact they will oblige with certain ingredients to be added or removed. Nice its also an open kitchen so no hiding! Good fast delivery as well, but if busy they are always upfront about the delay and time to expect it! Wont order Indian from anywhere else END

The food is lovely cooked infront of you aswell always a plus really tasty and if delivered always on time

Best Dansakh I've had anywhere, and I've tried loads! Happy to make a trip from the other side of the city just to come here, it's that good.

An excellent Chicken Vindaloo with heat but great flavours. The vegetable paratha had a good filling and the naan was light and airy . The mushroom pilau was perfect . I have used other Indian takeaways in the vicinity with good results but this meal was exceptional . Thank you

I love this Indian. I go all of the time. The staff are lovely, the food is always fresh and warm. Good prices

Best take away meal I've had for a very long time and excellent value.

I really enjoyed the food here but I found the chicken in the Madras a little sparse. Not a bad take out all in all though.

Use these guys all the time when having Indian really good service and excellent food a1 guys.

Have been using this takeaway for 20 years and the food is always excellent.Same owner who has kept standards very high.Usually have a home delivery and food is always hot and tasty.

After many disappointing take away experiences i stubbled upon Bangla Balti House. Excellent food reasonable delivery time and well priced.

Use them all the time friendly and there food is really good

Que son locales a este para llevar y tener siempre el menú de 4 cuando tenemos amigos y hay suficiente espacio para 5 o 6 probablemente! Menos de 10 libras cada uno. Están siempre dispuestos a cambio uno de los curris para nosotros algo que prefiere y la comida es siempre una gran calidad y muy sabrosos. Mucho mejor que en la misma calle jehangir para llevar y más barato!

Good food and friendly staff. Open kitchen so you can watch the food being prepared. Helps to phone in advance so food is waiting.

We recently ordered a takeaway from here as our usual place was shut, we were pleasantly surprised, the food was lovely, and we didn't have to wait too long for delivery, we will definitely use them again.

Very very rude.hang up on.me twice cos I needed some advice on one of their dishes. When I rang again they showed no remorse stating they were very busy and had no time to be explaining things.terrible customer service. Would never reccomend them.shocking

I have eaten at bangla balti for a few months and I must say I have never been disappointed, amazing food with a great view of the open kitchen so you can watch exactly how your food is being prepared, the atmosphere is good and the staff are lovely guys, not much more I can say but I reccomend this place to anyone reading

A consistently good take-away, does delivery too!

Have used this takeaway for many years but never again. The delivery driver was stood around waiting for his next delivery but whilst waiting he started to help the 2 chefs, this is where my visit staryed to go downhill. To seperate the paper bags for our onion bhajis he licked his fingers, then whilst stood about some more waiting he then had his hands around his nose and mouth, once some of our dishes were ready he then proceeded again to help sprinkled corriander on some dishes and put lids on the takeaway containers, and not once washing his hands at anytime, he was going into fridges and getting food items out for the chefs and walking in the cooking area in oudside clothes, at this point I explained to the chefs what I had seen and asked for a refund, it was then that the chefs started to get aggressive and telling me to leave which I did after several minutes of discussion without either any food or refund.if you going to have an open kitchen then follow some very basic, simple and legal hygiene steps. A real shame as the food has always been very good and the kitchen clean, but I was appalled at what I had seen and the way they handled my complaint.I have been in the catering industry for over 20 years and felt well placed about my complaint.

Este es uno de nuestros llevar india local y continúa para ofrecer un valor de calidad para comidas de dinero. Como dijo el menú fijo es excelente y a un precio muy razonable. La cocina abierta le permite pasar el tiempo como te espera para su comida, sin duda continúe a volver.

If you want a takeaway, Indian ( Bangladesh) meal in Southampton, look no further. This place is as good as it gets.We have been getting food from here for the last five years, and it simply can't be beaten!Staff are fabulous, and helpful, nothing is to much trouble.Try it you will not be disappointed !

Our local takeaway, this is consistently of the highest standard food, freshly cooked in front of you in their open kitchen. The set meal is excellent value and quality and we always have enough for 2 meals-bargain. This is a family owned and operated business, and keep things simple-good produce well cooked at great prices-recommended!

First time visitor to this take-a-way but certainly won't be my last! I found the food here the tastiest I have ever had from a take-a-way. It was cooked in their open kitchen and the chef seemed to take care with all that he was cooking. It was a friendly atmosphere and one of the cleanest I have come across. They have a 5 star cleanliness rating, the top one! Location is not too bad but there is parking on the front or just around the corner as its on a main road. Well worth a visit. Enjoy!
