Rutland Balti House in Rutland

We had a take out for 6. Loved the food and the 20minute wait was OK with a cold beer, even a complementary beer to take home. Thoroughly recommend this if you fancy an Indian in Oakham

Best Vindaloo and Phall sauce I've had for years 😋

Had a delicious meal here tonight. Very tasty excellent curry served by a lovely friendly waiter. Very clean and good choices on menu . We would recommend.

Be aware of price differences to online menus and when you get to collect food. Challenged and shown online menu on website and still refused to correct. Avoid and go to a more trustworthy restaurant that has fair pricing.

Very good. Still the best curry in Oakham. Cobra beer could have been colder! Great, nice peoe and a nice room to enjoy the best curry and service

The food is excellent and it’s a lovely clean place. Staff are spot on. The menu has something for everyone. If you have popadoms as for the lime pickle. Very special

We have been several times to the Rutland Balti restaurant, we thought we had found a decent priced restaurant that serves good quality food. However last night we ate there and all three chicken dishes we had, all different dishes, the chicken was like rubber, so much so that we didn’t finish the food. We said to the manager that the chicken was tough and rubber like, he didn’t appear interested. Unfortunately this poor experience has left us with the view that we won’t be visiting again. Such a shame as previously the food and service was good.

We are from Canterbury, Kent and this easily beats any experiences we’ve had back home. 10/10 on every dish. The Onion Bhaji’s are to die for. Lamb in the Balti was melting in our mouths. All very reasonably priced as well.

Food was amazing. Great value for money Some good vegan options.

Nice welcome attentive staff Food was tasty and decent value had the mixed grill which came out sizzling nice large piece of Tandoori chicken No beer on draft which is a shame but had a couple bottles of Kingfisher Nice curry house would recommend and return

Lovely food and excellent service at the Rutland Balti House. Great Lamb Jalfrezi and naan was very light and fluffy. Thanks for having us

Fabulous curry house with wonderful food, a relaxed atmosphere, and friendly welcoming staff. Recommend for a casual night out or a special event. Best in Oakham.

Awful food. Chicken korma sauce was minimal and full of water rather than the usual thick sauce you would expect. No flavour to this either. Chicken was not fresh, instead dry and chewy. Rice was soft and soggy. Worst Indian in Rutland, would never order from here again. Not a patch on Sarpech!

Food was really fresh, tasty and hot - exactly what you want from an Indian restaurant. The man who served me was attentive, very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic food and friendly staff.

Class of 76 Uni reunion. We were given a room to ourselves (10 of us). Service was excellent, the waiter was a complete star. The Christmas deal was a great idea. Everyone was satisfied. Thank you for making us feel welcome. Great food, great company. I'm sure we will be back.

Always a great curry!!...its our favourite curry house in Oakham. Lovely fresh food & excellent service. Mohammed is a great host & always happy to serve you.. We would highly recommend this place for sit down or take out!

Loved the service, loved the food

Always excellent food every time we visit . Very reasonable prices for the food and drinks. Staff are always so friendly, helpful and polite and nothing is to much trouble. Will always help you order your food if you are not sure what to order. Best Indian in Rutland.

Great Service and very tasty food, even happy to let them choose. Always very friendly and helpful. Been our local for years

We were staying in the area and looked at several Indian restaurant reviews. We had an excellent, very tasty meal served by a friendly member of staff. Nice atmosphere, quick service with a smile. Would definitely recommend.

Met Sam tonight - Abdul’s little brother…. Quiet night, but food lovely as always. And now full up to the top…..

The best in Rutland. The food and service is always great and the price is very reasonable. The staff remember you and are great at recommending dishes - we are yet to be disappointed!

Lovely! Best Tawa ever. Kema rice was double yum. All great, thanks Rutland Balti House for a delicious meal.

Came here on a busy Saturday night and was offered a table within a few minutes and we didn’t book! Food was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was lovely and warm. Really amazing service delivered with kindness - Abdul and Sam really know how to make one feel welcome. A lovely family run business that has been running for over 30 years and I can see why! High recommended and would return within a heartbeat! 🤌🏼

Amazing food, lovely staff, good portions. My go-to Indian restaurant.

Food fabulous cooked to perfection and served by Abdul who was friendly and courteous couldn’t fault anything

Absolutely lovely.The garlic tikka lamb was delicious. For me lamb is hit and miss but this was superb. 3rd visit now. Never disappointed thank you all.

As our hotel kitchen was closed on Mondays we looked for a restaurant. The understated street frontage hid a culinary gem at very reasonable prices. Service and food were excellent and should we be in the area again we would definitely revisit.

Food was amazing, great menu lots of choice, very friendly staff, great value for money, clean contempt restaurant, booking advised as gets busy.

Absolutely great . Perfect level of spice. Top service. Thoughrly enjoyed my Meal We are visiting from another part of UK but if we ever pass through again I Will be back.

Reminded me of eating in the Balti triangle of Birmingham. Eaten with nan from a traditional black iron dish!

Always come back here time & time again due to their ability to cook food to perfection and always provide a very personable service. Abdul & Sam always take care of us like family - once you go here once you don’t want to go...

We enjoyed a lovely family night out here at the Rutland Balti House. I can highly recommend this restaurant. The food was of an outstanding quality and all the waiters were extremely professional. It's not often we say this when eating out but we will...

Absolutely brilliant restaurant. First visit last night on a Saturday. Service from the two chaps was so friendly. The king prawn puree was the best I've ever had. Can't wait to return.

Super friendly service from the two chaps in there. Best king prawn puree I've ever had. Can't wait to go back. Small restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Went early on Saturday evening June.

Popped in here last night later than anticipated to find them nearly closed. However, we were met with a most warm welcome and invited to take a seat all the same. The food was delicious and the service was even better! We will be back, just not as late next time! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

I love this place. I was brought up in Bradford, so am discerning about Indian food, but I’ve lived in Rutland for 20 years. We’ve come here regularly throughout that time. Food is uniformly excellent. The prawn puri starter , and my vegetarian wife’s aloo...

Arrived very late and they accommodated us graciously. Delicious dinner quickly served. Very friendly.

Absolutely delicious food, service is exceptional - very attentive... Nice chilled atmosphere. Can totally recommend the place and will definitely come back again in the future. Thank you Abdul for taking care of us!

First time in at the balti house & anyone that passes by must go! It’s a cute intimate little spot with extremely tasty authentic indian food. The tawa dishes are to die for - IT WAS LOVELY! The service we received from the owner was...

Excellent meal. The lamb vindaloo was exceptional. Service was brilliant. Friendly and courteous. Would highly recommend if your in Oakham. Small but friendly and perfect in every way.

Excellent friendly service. Food excellent. Spotlessly clean. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Great service and food and even let me keep the shell from my dessert served in a coconut

A weekend break in Oakham. We ate here both evenings. Absolutely delicious food. Nice and small restaurant. Very warm welcome from the guy who was working both nights. Couldn't recommend this place enough. Definitely will be returning when we visit Oakham again.

Cheap and cheerful, nice food, nice staff

Great service. Such a variety of food and made to a very high standard. Staff are very accommodating and attentive. Good price mark. Great night out.

We absolutely love the food here! We eat from here twice a week sometimes, it's that good! Balti house is definitely our go to place to eat! Highly recommend. Staff are super friendly , quick service too and food is always right!

Fantastic food what’s more to say give it a try

The food is always awesome 👌 ... the service on the phone is always great. Atmosphere I cannot comment on as I have never eaten in the restaurant itself.

Always my go to. Better than all restaurants available on just eat/food hub so worth the collection. Food is always good quality and good portions. Very friendly easy going staff.

Best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever had🙏🙏🙏

Despite living near Oakham for 8 years, this week was the first time we have been to the Rutland Balti House and was really impressed. The restaurant is small with seating for about 20 and take away customers pop in to collect from the bar area. Good selection on the menu, and very well cooked with great tastes. Reasonably priced food and good service. Definitely worth a visit.

Balti House was fantastic. Friendly and helpful staff, and an extensive good value menu. The Lamb Tikka Tawa was genuinely one of the best curries I have ever had

Very welcoming with great food and service

Pretty poor. Meat was overcooked, naan bread was like rubber, pastry on the samosas was gooey and bajis where rock solid. I didn't even want seconds and I'm a fat boy who can't normally say no.

Food not as nice as been several times bland and not worth going but waiter was lovely and understood and tried his best to make everything OK but food total let down sadly won't waste money there again

Great place. Good atmosphere .

First visit for a few years. Still excellent service and fantastic food.

A little conflicted on this one. I eat at a fair few Indian restaurants and cook almost exclusively Indian food. We all have our favourite dishes and different restaurants have a different version. My tandoori king prawn jalfrezi wasn't bad. More oily than I'd like, mostly onion and only a few prawns for £10.50 plus rice. 7/10. My wife ordered a mix of starters which were mostly deep fried and a bit luke warm and overly greasy which made her a bit unwell. I tried the chicken pakora and it was dry chicken and very geasy batter. Shame as the staff were really nice. There were only 3 tables on a Monday night but service was rather slow, although they did apologise. Overall not terrible but could be so much better cooked and VFM.

Amazing food and the best customer service. Definitely recommend!

Best Indian restaurant in Oakham by a curry mile! The service is friendly and the food is delicious.

Excellent food and service as always. Friendly service and friendly staff. Best Indian restaurant in oakham by far, food is tasty and freshly cooked and they will cook it fit you according to your taste. I jame been coming here for years and will continue to do so.

I picked up a takeaway last night, having booked over the phone. I always have the same thing, a chicken biriani. My husband had the delicious king prawn korma.Sometimes, there isn’t enough sauce but the biriani itself is always so generous that I can never eat it all! I asked last night, if I could have less biriani but more sauce. At no extra charge, I was given the usual amount of biriani and a large tray of sauce. It was THE PERFECT AMOUNT!! Next time, I will offer to pay for the extra sauce.

The food was lovely, but remember to take cash.

7pm on a Saturday night and we hadn't booked. It was busy, and we were offered a choice between 2 tables. Although they were busy, the service was excellent, and quicker than expected. The menu is extensive but not too much, and it wasn't a problem that it is not a tandoori, the food and especially the nann bread was the best we've had in a long time. The price is so reasonable that we thought they'd left something off the bill!!! Our mistake, everything was without fault. They even had hot towels and after eights to finish. Our waiter was Shumon, and he was friendly and efficient. We honestly think this is the best Indian restaurant overall, ever! Do go. 👍

Very tasty food and nice service!! Definitely will come back again.

Excellent service and excellent food as always. Turned up on the off chance to get a table, able to fit us in despite being busy.

Had a takeaway for 4 adults and all really enjoyed our meals. I had chicken tandoori and it was so moist, tender and well spiced - perfect! Highly recommend from our experience

Came for an early evening meal. Great friendly greeting and great service. We had a very good meal. All our dishes were delicious and served hot on warm plates. Thanks for your hospitality

Had Indians in all parts of the country and this is by far the worst I've ever encountered.. arrogant waitress really bad food and service. Over priced garbage tbh.. never again..

Ordered three different types of curry and they all looked the same. The pickle tray was like water. Very overpriced for bad food! The customer service is also shocking!

Delicious flavours, fair price and great catering and hospitality. I recommend to anyone looking for authentic dishes

We stumbled upon this diamond after our regular Indian was fully booked. Not aure what to expect as it doesn't have all the bells and whistles lile our regular place. But after the meal it was clear that they spill their heart into the food. It. Was.DeliciousI could not decide which dish I loved that most (that is saying something) it takes a lot to impress me!!Please Visit Rutland Balti house! Owner served us and he was so accommodating, noticed i put a scarf around my arms and turned the heating up. So Lovely!!

I've been eating here for over 25 years now and have never had a complaint; Abdul and his staff are polite, friendly and attentive and the food is always first class. On my last visit , my brother, a very experienced curry fan (and a very good curry cook himself), commented that the Chilli Chicken was the best curry he'd ever had. Happy New Year, Abdul.

I'm visiting Stretton Lakes with my husband and looked for an Indian restaurant. Saw this had a great review so decided to try it. I have to say that's the best chicken tikka masala and peshawari nan bread ever!! 11/10. Will definitely visit this place again, even if it's an hours drive. Attentive service too.

Best Indian meal for a long time.

The Balti house in Oakham Rutland has been our favourite restaurant since we moved here in 2018. The staff are fantastic nothing is too much. Recommend for couples and groups.

Missed this place! First visit in over 2 years and it was as good as I remember. Good food, reasonable price with friendly service.

Fabulous experience. From short notice booking to cooking food that they had ran out of. All food for all six of us was well cooked, delicious and served in good time.

I have been going to this restaurant for years. A cozy atmosphere (smaller downstairs and an upstairs) and friendly staff. Good prices. I go to the restaurant for special days and it’s become my go to comfort takeaway.

Thought I had posted a review but just in case it didn't appear. Brilliant, fresh cooked tasty food. Please come and eat here. Good service also very reasonable cost. Jill

Have been coming here on and off for 25 years now. We ate here last Wednesday, and we were pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant had a few tables already taken and a couple of people came in for takeaways while we were there. Large choice on the menu and the food was as excellent as always, tasty and full of flavour. Service was good, we really enjoyed our meal. Great value, comes highly recommended.

Amazing food and great service! Would definitely come back again. Lovely restaurant if you’re looking to eat out too!

Lovely food, excellent service very friendly staff and very clean environment. Also a very reasonable price. Would definitely consider eating there again.

Tasty food, had midweek curry here....was very helpful with gluten free, enjoyed menu choices.....thanks would recommend .......

Family meal night before wedding. Each one of us was an Indian aficionado and were delighted by the top quality food. Thoroughly recommended and enhanced by the jovial waiter. Thank you

As always RBH never fails to deliver, the food was collected on time, piping hot and tasty as usual. The customer service is second to none. Thank you to Abdul and his team.

Great customer service, Shumon is always happy to assist whether he’s working front of house or in the kitchen, always a warm greeting & a welcoming atmosphere. Curry’s are always top notch. Happy to be a regular!

We ordered a takeaway yesterday, it was 40 minutes to cook and it was beautiful. The service was great and even though it’s a 20 minute drive home the food was perfect to eat. It’s the best Indian takeaway we’ve had in a while!

I hope last nights experience was a one off for this takeaway restaurant. We ordered our meal at 7 O’clock and told to collect at 8 o’clock. Finally at 8.45 we received our food. Once home the food was only luke warm and the majority was tasteless. Hopefully this was a bad evening for the staff but I could not recommend it to anyone on this performance.

The service was great and the food incredible

This is the only Indian restaurant my family has used since moving to Oakham 19 years ago. It was highly recommended and never fails to please.We ate in with our grandchildren between Lockdowns and have had a couple of take-always since. I particularly recommend their various biryanis.I always ask for ‘not too spicy’. Because their meals are cooked to order, they always oblige. If anything, there is too much of it! It would feed almost two people.There is sanitiser for you. The waiter wears a mask and gloves. I don’t know if the chefs wear masks but we feel perfectly happy with all cleanliness aspects.

Wow! One of the best Indian we have ever had.

Really good service and really tasty food

Visited for a takeaway this evening, food was lovely, hot and tasty - couldn’t fault it. After a very slight mix up with the order, customer service was second to none and it was resolved super quickly. Staff are brilliant and food is brilliant!! Would 100% visit again

I've been coming here for years,and I've never had a bad meal,pleasant staff 👍
