Light of India Balti House in Cheshire West and Chester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The oldest curry house in the town and still, for me, the best. This place would be packed years ago, but as local drinking spots have now disappeared, this place is never full, their main trade is now takeaways. The food is second to none and Manik and his staff always make you feel welcome.

The place was dead, for a Friday. They don't pay for spotify which their music lets us know, and menus are a little dated with clipart all over. Otherwise the atmosphere was good, looked good and decorated well. The food was excelent. Food was served in separate bowls on the table with a spoon in each to transfer to your plate. Prices were £1-2 higher per item than on delivery apps which I found very strange. The server seemed nice.

Visited as a group. Place looks deceiving from outside , quite roomy inside . Staff were lovely . Food was amazing , we had the Sunday buffet . Lots of choice of starters which were all lovely , mains there was lots of choice £16 all you can eat.. bargain .once of the best Indians we’ve had

Maybe light of inadia should be a little kinder when they answer the phone absolutely shocking

Food was good one curry, rice, starter , side and naan bread was enough to feed two people and take away Currys normally sit on my stomach over night and make me feel bloated this absolutely didn't and I would recommend

Have they changed the chef? I ordered a collection takeaway, Chicken Tikka Masala, Pilau Rice and a garlic naan. I couldn't eat the first one. It main and rice tasted salty. I rang up and spoke to the manager and he said the chef doesn't use salt. I disagree. A replacement was delivered promptly, but again very salty. I had to though it in the rubbish bin. Over 25 years I have ordered from this restaurant. I won't be ordering again until the chef changes.

This place will be our new go to Indian restaurant in London! Food was amazing! The bad thing was…the table was WAY too small for 6 people. The waiter seemed a bit inexperienced. Could have been trying too hard to please us..knocking over wine glasses kind of thing. But, the food was delicious! Their gain, because we loved the food. This was after a VERY bad experience at the Bombay Brasserie😡

Orded tandoori chicken it was on the bone absolutely disgusting hardly had no chicken .£ 26 ? Having a laugh?

This was much better when the food was laid out to help your self. But the food is excellent. Just trying to understand the new system is a bit difficult

Great timing, lovely delivery driver and tasty food :)

Cold and missing 2 peshwari naans worth £7, could be that food hubs the cause but feeling robbed nonetheless

Wow one of the most tasteless meals I’ve ordered from just eat, if that wasn’t out the buffet I’m not ginger go the Essenes of spice or the masala instead there ten times better

Food was cold popadom was soft and curry had no flavour 😖

Absolutely beautiful always has been in my opinion the best curry in the port

Absolutely fantastic food. The flavours are far superior to other Indian restaurants in Ellesmere Port. The honey chicken is my personal favourite. The tikka massala is amazing and everything was fresh and hot.

Had delivery from here a number of times. The last time there was quite a bad spillage within the bag. This time we had friends around after telling them how good the food was. There were no poppadoms of which we ordered 4, we did get the dips for them. And there was a large spillage again which soaked through the paper bag. The food was still nice but not sure we'll be getting delivery again. Disappointed 🙁

absolutely quality food, highly recommend

If you want a curry night then look no further than the light of India. Never had a bad experience with this place. I always get the chicken madras myself and have always been more than happy with it.

Curry was very nice however the Cheese Naan had no cheese in it so a little disappointed with that.

Items missing, chicken like rubber, Luke warm and I collected the meal, shocking…

Absolutely delicious food. I wouldn’t go anywhere else x

Really disappointed, food was so bland, rice was cold, wont be ordering with these again!

Food was nice but ordered the set meal for 2 and they forgot to send the rice

Just had a carry out , spot on 👍

Twice now my order was messed up...twice in a row. Unfortunately I will not be using this restaurant again

Messed up on order which meant more time to wait

Stunning once again thanks for the sweets.

Absolutely the best Indian meal we have ever had. We will definitely be ordering from them again. Definitely a winner 🏆

beautiful down to the last bite thanks again see you next time

Masala was watery. Soppy and Inedible

Never again. This is the worst takeaway I have ever had. Ordered 2 meals. It took far too long to arrive. One meal was missing and the rest of the food was delivered cold. We rang up the restaurant to sort it out and the woman on the phone was very unapologetic, told us that the food couldn't be cold and that we were wrong. They did send out the missing meal though. The lamb was the worst quality meat I've ever had the misfortune to eat. The only positive was that there were only 5 pieces - not bad for £30! I wish I hadn't bothered.

I think Ryan Reynolds is right. This is the BEST Indian restaurant! My new favourite is the honey chicken starter. I will keep ordering from Light of India. Thank you also to the lovely delivery lady!

Asked for 1 of each type of chutneys in delivery details as the menu options didn't allow you to select different types, got three mango chutneys instead! and it was delivered at 8:40

Food was outstanding, and service was excellent

Delicious food. Will definitely order again

Meal with relatives, excellent food and hospitality

We had a delivery this evening, food piping hot ! Each meal was delicious and we ordered for four highly recommend this great restaurant thanks light of India for our lovely anniversary takeout 👍

Some issues. Rectified by the restaurant immediately. 100% would use again! Good food.

Decent little munch it was but curry was runny and I may have the runs but overall was a decent meal. Dear Mr Bradley spunkinstein👍

amazing food as always guys thanks so much once again

Onion bhaji and veg curry was very oily Tikka massasla was very runny

The chicken was firm & dry, no onion salad with the poppadoms & the garlic bread was cold & no taste of garlic, great onion barges but arrived cold.

Curry was nice so was the naan only thing I would complain about was the onion Bhajis they were like boulders and rock hard and dry couldn’t eat them

Very nice would definitely use again

Beautiful food will be ordering again.

Disappointing was ordering for my birthday meal bhuna tasted more like a stew than a curry madras was not even spicy poppadoms were chewy best thing about it was the rice and onion bhajis and worse thing is it cost £45 won't be ordering there again!

Spot on once again 👏 thanks very much guys

The food and service is always really good. We always order our favourite meals from Light of India and we are never disappointed

Usually really tasty food from here but this time the two curries we ordered were surprisingly bland.

Great food every time. Excellent service.

Whole meal was just disgusting 🤢

All 4 of us Loved it! We got 2 set meals for 2, bargain and absolutely delicious! Especially loved the onion bhajees and tandoori chicken. Highly recommended!

Great food as always. Staff friendly and meals reasonably priced. Recommended.

Had a great time here tonight, the food was lovely. The buffet on Sunday is superb, plenty of food to go round and good prices at £15 per person.

Great food as always. Great staff very welcoming.

The delivery time wasn’t really the issue, food came cold and the nan came with no cheese on. Not the best takeaway from here

Ordered a takeaway, wasn't told cash only ,have had hundreds of meals all over the country and this was one of the worst ,plenty of food but totally lacking in flavour ,disappointing 😑

Sorry,but I was well disappointed with my takeaway,the onion bhajis tasted like they were deep fried in month old oil,and the tandoori mix grill was so dry you could sand down the doors with it, doubt I'll be visiting again,no where as good as it was in the 80s 90s

35 minutes late, the kids were very hungry. Would like a partial refund please.

Great food as usual guys thanks so much

Good due to be delivered 8.25pm to 8.45pm still waiting 9.05pm no update no contact and phone not being answered!! Appalling communication!! Never again!!

Ordered at 19.20. Still no delivery at 21.30. Called at 20.50 and told it had left. Called again at 21.10 and told they were packing it ! Now, they are not answering the phone. Shocking and never ever again will we use these again !

Was disappointed with the king prawn speciality to just have king prawns and a tub of veg curry and nothing else for over £14 shocking really. My chicken tikka byriani thought would of come with tikka masala sauce not vegetable curry. Not sure we’re be coming here again

Oh well, delivery late but food excellent as always.

Very pleased the family and i loved every bite thanks so much

Food was cold, tasteless, very late, items missing, very disappointed

Great Food as always, only complaint is the Onion Bhaji's were really dry and you couldnt eat them.. other than that FAB

Food was stone cold, get more drivers would not order from again. Not sure what Ryan Reynolds was chatting about.

Food was cold when arrived and very bland didn’t get any poppadoms either Won’t be ordering form here again very disappointed

Food was pre ordered for 7pm however arrived at 6pm

Most amazing restaurant on the planet! Thank you.

Early delivery, great food every time...my family's fave indian place

Great food & service! Arrived earlier than anticipated on a busy Saturday evening

Gorgeous as always Thankyou very much, always our fave for a treat xxxx

New to this place and am very impressed with the flavours and tastes!!!! Great job

Only one thing missing was our mushroom rice but understand the restaurant may of been busy

I would like a refund please the customer service was awful

Food was a bit cold on delivery but tasted good.

Lovely food coming early was a nice bonus.

Incredible food. Everything was delicious 😋 Best Indian restaurant in Ellesmere Port.

Tremendous. My favourite curry place does it again.

It was cold and all food went in bin as not usual standard,from light of India,had same meal couple weeks ago and was exceptional,but not edible this time. !!!!

Spent £30+ on the set meal for 2 and chips Order was missing chips and half the food is cold

Went for the new format Sunday buffet. We were a party of 11 which included 1 x vegetarian. The food is freshly cooked and everything was eaten, with no waste. Service also spot on as usual.

Best onion bhaji in town ,food was hot and early

Really great food from a long established place! , chicken Bangalore is a favourite! a nicely hot curry that actually is as hot as advertised for a change! ( not a disappointing vindaloo with the strength of tikka masala! ) and very nice to taste aswell! 👍

Cancelled order without correspondence

Great food and service as always thanks so much guys

Very small nan bread for 3.50 🙄🙄🤔🤔 and very bad stomach the same night, but I can't get my head arround the 2 inches nan bread for 3.50 first and last time 👌

Cold and missing food and no answer from the restaurant.

Excellent Indian cuisine. Ryan Reynolds is right.

Jalfrazy was too hot chillies chopped into small pieces making the meal too hot to enjoy

We were missing a couple items from our order, we had our mains but some of our sides didn't show up, first Time this has happened and we've been coming here for years bit disappointed wouldn't mind but it was an over £50 order

Food cold not impressed after using here for so long very disappointed.

After finally receiving our whole order, 3 deliveries later. The quality of the food was poor. will not be ordering from here again.

At 17:50 JE quoted 30-45 mins. It arrived at 20:20. Won’t be using again

An hour late which was OK however missing naan bread

if it's good enough for Ryan Reynolds it's good enough for me, but the best in Europe, Sorry Ryan your wrong, try the Golden Dragon Taj Mahal Indian And Chinese Restaurant in Alykanas

Great food great service well worth a visit

First time I’ve had a takeaway from here and I was really happy with it! The food was delicious and they even gave me a bag of sweets, which I thought was a lovely touch. Did take a while to arrive but it was worth the wait :D
