What a find. First time eating here and got to say wow. Portion size was amazing. The mixed starter for two people was delicious, proper homemade kebabs pakora and bhaji plus chicken and lamb. A meal for four people was reasonable, priced with drinks. Will definitely visit again.

Just finished eating a delivery after trying the Bombay Balti under new ownership. They have a very good food hygiene rating and we ordered lamb Saag, vegetable curry and vegetable rice. It was really easy to order online and the delivery arrived 20 minutes later. It was really delicious and we will be ordering again. Well done!

Comida para llevar recomendada por amigos ya que siempre usamos un restaurante indio alternativo. Quedamos tan impresionados con la calidad, el tamaño de la porción y el servicio amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este será nuestro restaurante de elección a partir de ahora!

Absolutamente increíble. El restaurante estaba ocupado a las 7 pm un miércoles. Buena señal. Pedimos una variedad de platos del menú principal. (También hay un especial temprano si quieres una alternativa más barata) Todo fue una sensación de sabor. Ahora confía en mí cuando digo que soy muy particular con la comida, ya que cocino todo desde cero en casa, incluidos los platos indios. Los sabores y las texturas estaban todos presentes. La mejor comida india que hemos comido en mucho tiempo. También el servicio era de primera categoría. El chef creó un plato extra de ajo para mi marido, que le encantó (aunque un poco caliente 😆). Sin duda recomendable.

The food was between bad and terrible. I had a mixed grill and every piece of meat was really dry and tasteless. You must make an effort to get the meat that dry. Others mentioned their food being tasteless, which is kind of surprising as Indian food is usually tastefull and spicey. One of the group members spent the night in the bathroom reliving the food again. As you might have guessed... I do not recommend this place.

Burned my face off with a madras here the other night. It’s my first proper curry in the UK for about five years, and I couldn’t have picked a better place to get back into it. The portions are decent and the prices are good. Beer is available. The staff are very friendly and accommodating too. Definitely recommended.

Food was horrible, they claim to be an Indian restaurant but it’s not. We ordered aloo chaat, but we got puri sabzi. For Raita we got plain yoghurt, in place of chicken biryani we got prawn pieces in chicken biryani. And then the staff was very rude and aggressive.

This is the best place in town for Indian food!! I'm amazed at the rating but know they are all old reviews from before it changed hands. This is my favourite style of food and we have tried everywhere over the years, we now have Bombay Balti every Friday without fail and have for months. We've never had a bad meal, my Mrs likes to stick to tikka masala whereas I like to sample the menu, I haven't found one yet that I didn't like. Each meal is bursting with flavour and the portion sizes are great, we get 2 meals out of a main and side each. This is for takeaway but have had a sit down meal with them a good few times, they do an excellent job of making you feel comfortable while tending to your needs, the food and service is second to none! Massive thank you to Taj (hope I have spelt this right) and the rest of the team, keep up the good work

Following my review below from 9 months ago, my wife, daughter and I came here to celebrate her graduation and 4 years in Lancaster. As per my previous review, a superb experince with wonderful friendly service. My wife ordered a veggie Biryani and all of the food was spot on. A fantastic memory to finish off our Lancaster experience - highly recommended. My daughter and I had a fantastic meal here. Superb quality and ample portions (so big that we would barely finish - and that was us sharing a mushroom pilau rice and a garlic naan). I had a chicken pathia and it was spot on, easily one of the nicest I have had in decades. The service was quick and the bill was small - what more could you ask for? We will definitely be back.

I order a lamb vindaloo delivered from here almost every week and I have never been disappointed. Always mega tasty, fast delivery and absolutely lovely delivery drivers. I love it so much that we recently took my Dad here for his birthday dinner, and they couldn't have been more wonderful - whole family thoroughly enjoyed their food, and the entire team were warm, helpful, and friendly. Our waiter was also an absolute hoot! Adore this place to eat in or for takeaway.

Absolutely fantastic! From start to finish. We went this evening to celebrate my wife’s birthday. My daughter and son joined us and we arrived at 5.30pm. The staff greeted us with genuinely happy and welcoming hospitality. Started with a pickle tray and poppadoms fab-u-lus!!! My son who usually won’t try Indian food, (not keen on spice) decided he fancied the lamb chop starter. He loved it. We all had starters and three of us chose the traditional onion bhaji which were absolutely delicious 🤤, best I have had. Then came the mains, My daughter and I had the chicken tikka masala, my wife had Korma and again my son decided to have the half roast chicken with a side of Korma sauce. The meals were beautifully cooked piping hot and the presentation was amazing. We had the usual sides of naan, rice and I had chips 😳🙄. In my defence, it was a special treat and I have lost 6Stone since October 😇. All lovely. This was all very, very good. However, the best bit for me was the service and lovely atmosphere these lovely people were working double hard to get right. Not only was this my wife’s birthday celebration but unknown to the staff we were celebrating because my wife had come to the end of two years of treatment for breast cancer. Tonight the staff of this restaurant helped us make memories that we will keep for years to come. Thank you to all of them for making us feel so special. Everything I have said is a true reflection of our evening and I have left this review out of love and thanks for a truly wonderful evening. Dhonyobad! ❤️

Three of us ate here whilst visiting Lancaster. All the staff are welcoming, friendly & provide good service. We ordered drinks & poppadoms whilst deciding from the extensive & interesting menu. We all had starters & main courses. My vegetable pakoras were particularly delicious, so light & delicate. We all enjoyed our mains very much but the portions were huge; I could only eat just over half of mine & my husband & nephew, who both have excellent appetites, were unable to eat all theirs. If visiting Lancaster again ,which we probably will as my nephew is hoping to relocate here, we'd definitely eat at Bombay Balti again.

There I said it , best curry in lancaster, trust me I’ve had a few not just here but in the surrounding area and nothing compares to this place. I’ve tried it a couple of times , once drunk and once sober(last night) and both times I couldn’t fault the experience. greeted very nicely at the door and during the stay nothing was too much trouble for the staff, all were happy to have a chat and give recommendations based on preferences. Massive portions which we all struggled to finish. Do yourself a favour next time you’re in Lancaster give it a go, you won’t be disappointed!

Ordered today . Decent enough but the food was poor .The curries ( lamb rogan Josh & Dupiaza) were too oily with a splash of small bits of lamb swimming amongst the accompanying sauce viz, cost cutting . The taste of the curry itself was mild and lacked potency and depth . It was rather bland and unexciting and hence totally forgettable. The onion Bhaji starter was extremely oily with artificial colouring, ie, gross . The lamb samosas were surprisingly tasty but again too oily - which is atrocious in the context of today’s uk with its discerning and health conscious , dining public . These sort of eateries need to evolve but many like this one are ostensibly still stuck in the past . It’s lazy and obtuse. Synopsis : I wouldn’t recommend the establishment and I would alas not return .

This was our first visit after being recommended by friends and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant was extremely clean, lovely decor, floors were also clean, no food debris 😀 The staff were extremely friendly, chatty, clean looking, and worked as a team, helping each other bring food out. The portions were generous, yummy on the eyes, and our plates came out hot!!! That's an extra bonus in my book. We were table checked more than once, but we were more than happy with everything. When visiting again this is our go to place. The toilet was also extremely clean, hand soap etc was full.

I recently visited Bombay Balti along with my friends. Fair to say it was the worst dining experience of my life. We waited for a hour and a half for our order to be prepared. On being asked regarding the delay, one of the senior staff members replied rather rudely as if he was standing in his dad’s backyard. If I had to choose between standing at gunpoint or visiting the restaurant again, I will definitely choose the former.

The Bombay Balti, 16 China Street. Lancaster LA1 1EX Tel: 01524 844550 Date of visit: 29th October 2023 Following a good write up in a local newspaper recently, regarding this award-winning restaurant in the centre of Lancaster, I just had to go and see for myself. The Last time I visited this establishment was way back in May 1994! When it was known by the name of The Curry Queen. It was very different then. It is now decked out with bright modern lighting, and fret worked panels, with freezes depicting scenes from India. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Seating for around 60/70 people with a comfortable waiting area near the bar whilst you wait for your table or for the busy take-out service! It is licenced and it takes Card payment! I arrived at this place just after 2.00pm expecting it to be open after looking through the information posted on Trip Advisor. So, I guessed that it was a typo error and decided to while away a couple of hours in the vibrant city of Lancaster, there is plenty going on here to keep you amused especially a couple of coffees at the Cirillo Lounge and watch the world go by. And as I guessed, they just haven’t had chance to sort out the web page, but I am assured by the front of house manager Taj, that it is in hand, so for the time being I would advise you ring up for an up-to-date time information. I was shown to my table by Chaitra, a student working her way through university and earning a few bob to help, but she was very proficient at waiting table. Service here was very slick, and although it was early doors, everyone seemed to know just what was expected of them! I chose from the extensive menu, Popadom’s with a fine pickle tray. Followed by my usual benchmark fare, sheesh kebabs. Piping hot and bursting with flavour and a very tasty yogurt sauce and fresh salad to go with them. I asked Chaitra what she would recommend as a starter to which she pointed out that the chefs’ specials were all very good, so I chose a Three chilli, Chicken Srilanka, which to my mind one of the tastiest Coconut based curries You will find for quite some distance! Accompanied by an excellent full flavoured soft and fluffy Pilau rice and a fresh Peshwari naan, if I was going to be picky, I would request that the chef puts a little more of the sweet sticky filling into it! A pint of Cobra Lager completed the show. Friendly knowledgeable staff with prices being in line with almost every other Indian restaurant. just under £35.00 Parking a slight problem as there was nothing close to the restaurant, but hey, the walk was good. I’m going to give this place 9/10 well worth a visit.

Haven't been here for just over a year. Last time, it was lovely, so we thought we'd give it another try. The staff were very friendly and some of them looked quite new but were very attentive. It wasn't too busy as we went on a Thursday night, we ordered off the early bird menu, which was very reasonably priced for the portions that we got. The food was very nice and piping hot. The service was very good, although a little hasty, but that was okay. All in all, it was a very good experience and we will certainly be back.

Visiting Lancaster for a specific purchase and also to meet up with a nephew living & working there. Suggested before we travelled that we should dine out one evening at nephew's choice of Indian Restaurant. He came good when he took us to the Bombay Balti...ambience was good, service was great with all credit to 'Jahnavi', who took care of us, providing superb advice and recommendations where needed. Started with some poppadoms and the 'pickle tray' and progressed to the main course which was my excellent Chicken Madras. N.B. There is a spicy dip on the pickle tray that is "to die for" and should be bottled & sold to all good curry lovers. Could not fault the restaurant at all and glad to give it a positive review for others to try.

Without doubt the worst indian takeaway I ever had. New to area and thought I'd give it go last night. Was up most of night with stomach issues. Rice was bland and no taste of coconut despite ordering coconut rice. Butter chicken and lamb rogan josh were tasteless. Definitely not one I'll return to. Doesn't even deserve the one star

We went to Bombay Balti for tea before the theatre on Sunday. We booked for 5.30 and were pleasantly surprised that there was an ‘early bird’ menu as well (£13.95 for two courses between 5 and 7pm). There was such a nice range on there that we all went for it. We were served by a nice lad who remembered what each of us had ordered and was attentive without being intrusive. Our food was lovely – freshly cooked and tasty. The main courses included either rice or naan and were generous portions. They also do takeaway and several orders went out whilst we were there, so obviously others are as impressed as we were - we will be back!

Had a lovely meal from here about 6 weeks ago, so thought we would order a takeaway last night, as they were promoting that it was 20% off. First thing we noticed was that prices have gone up, like lots of places. When we got the meal, it looked unappetising, two onion bhaji on some lettuce that was brown and slimy-looking (menu price £4.50!), a watery vegetable curry that had a handful of frozen mixed veg in, poppadom that was crushed into a thousand pieces. Maybe 20% off means they rehash all the leftovers from the day before, which is understandable in the current financial climate, but neither of us are feeling particularly great today and my husband has realised how lucky he is to have access to a toilet at work. Very disappointing and don't think we will get food here again. On a positive note, the Brinjal was nice.

I ordered my food on my phone and I paid for it, I ordered Chicken Tikka Dopiaza with Pilau rice to take home. It was £12.20 it was tremendous, I will be going again. I looked in the Restaurant and it looked busy which you would expect on a Saturday night. Anyone going would be best too book a table in advance.

We decided at the last minute to go out for food but as it was valentines day many places were full. This place wasn't (which isn't usually a good sign) but the food really was very good tonight, the saag paneer was especially delicious. But also they had put rose petals on the tables and when we left we were presented with a rose and box of chocolates each. It was a shame less people hadn't made it there destination valentines meal.

Delayed delivery by 40 mins. And putting loads of oil, food colour and spices in food does not make it an Indian cuisine. Almost same gravy base for everything, just contents vary. And prawn biriyani is an extra oily red Chilli powered version of prawn fried rice. Use frozen stale meat products. Not recommended.

Mango Lassi great but too sweet. Service at tentative. Waited 30 mins for food but it was worth it as clearly all fresh. Did not try the vast other range which I could see on panther tables.

Unfortunately my other half was unhappy with the ready made chicken produce they use here. Her Tarka Dal was very disappointing. I didn't think my Madras was so bad but considering her experience then I'll have to just give it 3 stars. The staff are polite but disorganized and haven't the knowledge to give advice. For instance, I wanted two poppadoms to come with my main meal and instead they brought 6 with onions and chutney! I simply didn't ask for that. I think on our next visit to Lancaster we'll definitely give this place a wide birth. Please follow me if you enjoy my reviews 👍🏻

Honestly, it is the worst Indian food restaurant I have ever been to. I have been to many in my life and I am of Indian origin, so I say this knowingly. The waiter was quite inexperienced, but without a doubt the worst thing was how long it took to bring the food: an hour for 2 dishes...Horrible! And there were only two more tables. And that's not all. We ordered a plate of "Butter chicken masala", that is, one of the best known dishes in Indian cuisine. Well, those were pieces of dried, pre-cooked marinated chicken breast submerged in a yellow soup of pure clarified butter (or Ghee) without any spices and with a very sweet flavor. We asked the manager why this dish was not red-orange with traditional masala spices and she replied that they made it that way. It is an insult that they say that, and there will even be people who believe it... in short, a lack of respect for a magnificent Indian dish. Anyone can see how it is made on YouTube and it had nothing to do with what they served us. The other dish we ordered was a lamb "Rogan Josh", which consisted of pieces of that but chewy meat, with fat or cartilage immersed in a fried tomato sauce and some spices. Both dishes were semi-cold, and it took an hour. I do not recommend it to anyone, and I regret not having read the opinions of others who came before me. A terrible experience.

Sinceramente es el peor restaurante de comida hindú al que he ido nunca. He ido a muchos en mi vida y soy de origen hindú, así que lo digo con conocimiento. El camarero era bastante inexperto, pero sin duda lo peor fue lo que tardaron en traer la comida: una hora para 2 platos...¡Horrible! y eso que tan solo había dos mesas más. Y ahí no acaba la cosa. Pedimos un plato de "Butter chicken masala", es decir, un plato de los más conocidos en la gastronomía hindú. Pues aquello eran unos trozos de pechuga de pollo marinado resecos y pre-cocinados sumergidos en una sopa amarilla de pura mantequilla clarificada (o Ghee) sin ninguna especie y de sabor muy dulce. Le preguntamos a la encargada que por qué esta plato no era rojo-anaranjado con las especias tradicionales de masala y nos contestó que ellos lo hacían así. Es un insulto que digan eso, y hasta habrá gente que se lo crea...en fin una falta de respeto a un magnífico plato hindú. Cualquiera puede ver en YouTube cómo se elabora y nada tenía que ver con lo que nos sirvieron. El otro plato que pedimos era un "Rogan Josh" de cordero, que consistía en trozos de esa carne pero correosa, con grasa o cartílagos sumergidos en una salsa de tomate frita y algunas especias. Ambos platos semi-fríos, y eso que tardaron una hora. No se lo recomiendo a nadie, y me arrepiento de no haber leído antes las opiniones de otros que fueron antes que yo. Una pésima experiencia.

Ordered take away at 17.20. Order confirmed as due for delivery at 18.05. At 18.25, I rang to see what was happening. I was told it was out for delivery. No apology. 5 minutes later I get confirmation the food is ready and will be out for delivery soon. At 18.45, I called again. I called her out for lying and I told her I would like to know for sure what was happening. As she tried to contact the driver, he arrived. He was lovely and apologetic as he was the only driver on duty this evening. If the person answering the phone would have told me this earlier I could have gone and collected the food. No apology, no explanation, no choice given to expedite the food getting on my plate. Well hangry! The food was OK, but not brilliant. It's not the first time I've been messed about or the food hasn't been top notch. I'll be looking elsewhere for Indian take away in future.

I would not recommend this place for anyone. The customer service was the worst. Told the receptionist to give us a table but was not even acknowledged nor greeted. We were standing and waiting by the reception area for so long to be seated or given a table but nobody helped, and yet there were a lot of empty tables. We just went to the nearest table from the reception area without anyone assisting us so that we could at least get a menu after waiting for a very long time. Unfortunately, after sitting near the reception area for at least half an hour, while looking at other waiters giving menus and food to the table next to us, we werent even given any menu and not even a single waiter bothered to at least tell us to wait or hand over something for us to order. So in total, we waited over an hour and ended up not getting anything at all. This would be the last place that one must eat from. Would not even give this place a single star and not worth visiting.

We ordered vegetarian take away from Bombay Balti and I wouldn't really recommend it for vegetarians. Chapatis were not baked properly at all and were as thick as Nans and were made out of white flour instead of wheat flour. Tarka dal was really bland. We ordered vegetable fried rice, but we only got plain fried rice with just onions (we couldn't go back to ask as we were already far from the restaurant) I do not know about non-veg though.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024. Just tried the shanghai special. Very tasty. Lots of flavour. A little bit more than mild spicy but not too hot. Prawn toast is frozen stuff. Not the best. Frozen prawn toast has a mushy filling without texture or bite Tried for the first time in a while. Had special in honey and chilli sauce. Deep fried. Fried rice Won tons. Deep fried oreos. Sauce was tasty. Needed something extra but not sure what. Maybe more garlic. But I'd definitely have it again. Lots of meat. Only two prawns as usual. The rice was as you'd expect. Nothing special. The won tons we're not so good. For the size of the casing you'd think there'd be a noticeable amount of filling. I couldn't find any. The faintest amount of chew filling. Would not recommend these. The oreos are nice. First time I've tried them. Nothing on them though. No icing sugar or anything. Wouldve been 4 stars if the wontons were better. Would recommend and will be trying again.

Awesome family orientated and family run venue with friendly happy staff and vibe. Always something different for all ages and locals that make others part of the family atmosphere. Great prices and deals always available on drinks and food.

Authentic and tasty Chinese food with tons of options at a very good price for the portion sizes. Actual restaurant itself is quite dated and service average but quality of food offsets- great restaurant overall!
