Spice Of Balti in Waveney

The restaurant was empty when we arrived at about 7:30pm, the décor is pretty basic and the crockery looks like it came second hand from a Chinese restaurant but we received a friendly welcome. The menu has all the usual favourites and a new one for me: chicken razella, a hot and spicy disk with green peppers and green chilis, which was delicious. My wife had the shashlik chicken, which was suitably sizzling and tasty. Service was quick and friendly and prices were much less than we're used to in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Good food in a cosy old fashioned curry house ! Good to find in a small Suffolk market town. Recommend for simple meal with friendly service.

Very popular, but they managed to squeeze us in at the last minute. Friendly and we really enjoyed the food.

I’m not one to eat out all that often or indulge in takeaways, but I have to say that every time I have eaten food from spice of balti it has been top notch! Never have i had a bad one. Lovely grub..and the new updated website is spot on. 👌 keep up the good work 👍

We ordered from here a couple of nights ago as we fancied a curry for our evening meal, I had the chicken curry with boiled rice and my hubby had the chicken tikka masala with boiled rice. I also had the garlic naan and we shared some poppadoms and chutney. We really enjoyed our meal but thought it could have been a bit hotter as it was just warm and we only live a couple of minutes from the shop but had it delivered. One thing to note is if you order it online from their website and have it delivered they only accept cash .

Very good never disappoints I recommend chicken tika masala. Really nice staff family run business Really kind and friendly and always make you feel welcome

Apparently i cant give zero dots, or i would. Food was bland and tasteless. Chicken tikka had no flavour to it at all. Chicken tikka dopiaza is supposed to be creamy, it was like water. Naan bread was undercooked and raw in the middle. As for service, the chap was rude in his manners, snatching plates away before we were finished as a family. Felt very unwelcoming and like we were a n inconvenience. I also noted that whilst he was taking someone else's order, he stopped to answer the phone. Clearly, take aways are far more important than the people sat in front of him. My advice ? Go to Beccles, or Harleston, Norwich, or Lowestoft, anywhere but this place !!!

Had a long trip wanted some food. The man got food out of the freezer and in less than ten minutes all four dishes were cooked

We ordered from here because the Harleston Indian was closed. The food was quite tasty but not outstanding. Naans were very rubbery, not at all freshly made, probably a result of overlong storage in their bags. The best thing was the very reasonable price.

Ordered a home delivery for a Friday night treat. Haven’t tried them before but was keen to support local restaurant. Food was terrible, dips watered down, korma and curry sauce meal both consistency of gravy and inedible and yogurt curdled. Called restaurant to politely discuss with manager and had phone put down on me.

Absolutely delicious every time Been ordering for a while now for delivery to Geldeston. Always on time, hot and really tasty. Personal highlight have been the chicken tikka bhuna and also the patia! Really good value also.

It was the worst food ever Sunday evening take way masala sauce was like baby food bhajis full of Grease

We ordered a take away from this restaurant and my hopes were not high having had many from other restaurants in the past . How wrong I was . The meal was quite exceptional . Everything was so fresh , so well cooked and with tasty sauces it was hard to fault any dish. Even the rice was amazing and the chicken melted in the mouth. This food had been cooked with care. The people of Bungay ( which I was visiting ) are very very lucky . I live in London and have never had an Indian of such a high standard

Their website, dated 2021 (so only two days old at the time of writing the original review!) says; Free Home Delivery in Bungay and Surrounding areas. Free home delivery in a radius of 5 miles from NR34 1AX. Outside this area we will deliver to a radius of 10 miles for £5 Note the word "radius". I am 4.3 miles radius, 5.6 by road according to Google Maps. Nonetheless they tried to add a delivery charge and argued that I was apparently 8 miles away! No, radius is what it says!" You're still 8 miles away...This circular argument went around three times before I gave up. I am 5.6 miles away by road. I can't even see how any viable route is possible at 8 miles! The person I spoke to seemed surprised that the website said 5 miles and promised to change it (he spoke of "his" website so I wasn't talking to an employee)... yet there is another identical complaint elsewhere from a review 3 years ago. Someone's putting one thing in a website and saying/meaning something quite different which I call misrepresentation. This was three weeks ago and I have just cut and pasted the delivery details above from that website, so he still hasn't changed it despite apparently reporting me for hateful, threatening or prejudiced language in my review!!! If they haven't the decency to honour what they publish in their website and then treat me like an idiot by trying to fib about something as fixed and factual as distance away - as if I don't know how far away I am... which is deeply offensive and patronising - then they get a well desreved negative review for false statements on their website, trying to mislead a customer about distance, deep disrespect by insulting a customer's intellighence and quibbling over the meaning of radius and now, in this amended review, I'll add for failing to remove the allegedly incorrect detail on their website as promised. Accusing me of threats, hateful language or prejudice because they get a well deserved bad review is a low blow and quite disgraceful. I trust I have made my experience of this business clear without any of the above accusations being levelled again.

We had a wonderful meal here recently. The food was absolutely delicious, we had King Prawn Mosala, Chicken Korma, Tarka Dhal and Peshwari Naan. We were treated to a free starter of onion bhaji's and chicken tikka, which was the most softest tastiest chicken. The food came quickly and the service was very friendly. Truly impressed!

My husband and I had a really nice meal at the Spice of Balti. We had tandoori chicken, which came out sizzling and vegetable curry and bombay aloo and naan bread. The service was quick and friendly. It was really busy as well for a Wednesday evening. I would recommend this restuarant.

Disgusting food, vile takeaway which we collected. My chicken tikka tasted off, old, hard with green inside. After one taste was put in the bin! My husbands lamb curry tasted weird and old. He ate half but had a bad tummy for two days after. The most disgusting takeaway we’ve ever had and will avoid!!

Our favourite local Indian restaurant delivered a fantastic meal yet again. Delicious food, and great recommendations for new chef special dishes to try. Fantastic naans and sides and lovely attentive staff. Always enjoy our evening when we eat here or get take away and it's lovely and cool in the restaurant due to air-con, a really luxury in this heat!

6 of us went for evening out and safe to say will not be going back the food was cold when it arrived and we had to send most of it back to get re heated this ment we was not eating our food together as it came back in dribs and drabs,food generally poor quality lamb very fatty and chicken dishes very dried out and stringy. The bar area was full of yobs making a lot of noise and the language was distasteful at best they were certenley not social distancing the waiter from the restaurant was also trying to serve at Bar so not idealOverall poor show, they need to decide weather this is an Indian restaurant or social club for local yobs.

Living opposite this restaurant we are lucky enough to sense the superb aromas emanating from the kitchens on a regular basis.We had another takeaway on Saturday evening which featured Fish Bhuna and Chicken Tikka Dopiaza as the main courses. They were both to die for and the portions are generous, so much so that my husband completed the meal this evening. Why is Indian food so much tastier a day or two later?We enjoyed the meal since much I phoned the restaurant to tell them as much.We will be returning for our takeaway again soon.Thank you.

Best Indian in the land, real authentic experience. Food is absolutely spot on and service was great very friendly and welcoming. Been many of times and will come again.The chicken fillets are to die for.

We were really looking forward to a family dinner. Food came out warm so we had to ask for it to be reheated. Fine when it came back but it should most definitely should not have needed reheating! We were the only diners in but there was a group of lads and a girl socialising in the takeaway bit. The staff were more interested in socialising than looking after their diners. They were all very loud and their topic of conversation was not suitable for my 7 year old grandson. The staff should not have let this happen. We did complain to them but they really were not bothered. We left feeling we had spoilt their party! ...disgraceful way to run a restaurant. We most definitely won't return.

Today my son and I visited. Our mission was to hear or see the chicken fillets mentioned in the previous review. Sadly we were out of luck. Not a fillet in sight. Our concentration was interested slightly by a lone gentleman entering the restaurant on a disability scooter. He tried a U turn by my table and stated he wouldn't get too close? Within seconds at full speed he and his magnificent scooter ploughed into me as I consumed my meat masala. I was jolted and forced towards the nearest window. The driver immediately apologized.. with my free had I pushed the menacing scooter away and asked the gentleman if he'd been drinking. He replied .. no, not yet. I suggested he start asap. My son and I burst into fits of laughter. You had to be there! The food,service and staff are quality. We love it.

This was the worst experience i have ever had at an Indian restaurant, food came out cold, was reheated when told. The food when came back reheated was ok, but they really need to decide if they what this as a take away, restaurant or social club, or nite club.We were the only diners in restaurant (6) but was a group of youngster at bar area drinking using it as a social club, we had to endure a young girl telling her group of young guys about how she puts her chicken fillets in when she wears her orange jumpsuit, very off putting when eating your meal.Would I recommend this restaurant, no I wouldnt, shame .

Myself and son dined last friday evening. We have been going for last ten years on occasion. We always return because of the reliable superb food and lovelyl service-you won't get better. My son lives in london and says miles better than any brick lanerestaurant!.

Really good quality food. Superb extensive menu. My friend and I had pakora starters, me veg him chicken. Superb. Nice and spicey. Main courses just as delicious. Fish lovely. Recommend the Madras. Highly recommended.

We’ve been coming here for some years and always enjoyed the food and excellent service. Convenient location, close to the Fisher Theatre for dinner before the shows.

Best food in the whole of bungay, thanks to luthfur i will try the chicken dansak again and maybe the tandoori chicken starter plus the nan and drink all for a decent price

With several other restaurants in Bungay not open we walked into the Spice of Balti on the off chance.What a great choice .Excellent service ( the waiter was extremely polite and friendly and had a very nice pink tie).The food was well presented and of good quality.I am so pleased we decided to give the restaurant a try.

Our first visit to the restaurant. Its a typical style for this sort of establishment with Indian music playing in the background. We both had a starter, my wife had a prawn cocktail. I went for a mixed tikka with an onion barjee. All spiced and cooked nicely. For mains my wife had a chicken korma, plain pilau and plain naan. I had chilli lamb shank, mushroom pilau and a garlic nann. The lamb was beautifully cooked and fell off the bone. I really enjoyed it as did my wife her korma. We both had two drinks and poppadoms with a pickle tray. Came to abot £55 which I think was a fair price. I would eat here again.

Visited for an evening meal on Monday 22nd April , Had Lamb Seek starter, followed by a Lamb Biryani. Washed down with an ice cold Cobra. Food was hot, tasty and just what I needed. restaurant was very quiet, shame because the food was good. If I was in the area again, I would definitely eat here again.

Phoned up to order chicken korai and naga, without menu in front of me (website has no info and we didn’t have a menu). Informed that No delivery driver available so had to pick up. Paid in advance over the phone to ensure quick pick up, in/out, so could tuck into food ASAP. My partners korai was described as non-descript and monotone, not horrible, just not exciting. Something that could be knocked up by us quickly during the week for us and our 3 year old to enjoy. I had the naga which had plenty of heat and was pleasant enough, although very greasy/oily as can happen at some Indian places. The sag aloo was again acceptable. I would give mine 5.5 out of 10, it ticking a takeaway box on a Saturday night and my partner ranked hers 4 out of 10. After finishing, I looked at the menu and couldn’t work out how we were charged what we were. On phoning the restaurant, turns out we were charged for using the card over the phone, something I wasn’t told about when Paying Over the phone. Even taking into account this charge, I had still been overcharged. When I queried Further I was rather nonchalantly told that a mistake had happened and we could go in the restaurant to get a refund. In essence, it was a Saturday and as he stated to me, he had to answer the phone to take orders. It’s such a shame that there is no genuine competition for this place. Having tried a lot of the local Indians, I think the best localish one is in Harleston. If going for a sit-down, suggest making the effort and going there as we do. If ordering take-away, maybe pay the extra for Beccles or opt for different cuisine.

Hubby and I have just finished eating our food from here this evening and I must say we really enjoyed it. There was lots of flavour and a great sized portion too as I couldn’t even get through it. I had the chicken tikka masala, hubby had the lamb madras and we both had basmati white rice and a naan to accompany it which was very nice. The price was a little high but you expect to pay that for a Indian, we took our food home and didn’t eat in but maybe we will next time. We had never eaten from here before but we were pleasantly surprised and will eat here again soon hopefully.

Food wasn’t too bad, pretty standard for Indian take away for the attitude was shocking. Online it clearly states free delivery within 5 miles but apparently £5 if outside Bungay! When you accept the little guy in Phuket then hangs up! I would t call again since I do not appreciate being spoken to in this way, especially when you’re a paying customer.

As a party of 12, we really enjoyed our visit, the staff accommodated all of our needs and were very friendly and polite. It was the best Indian food I have had in a long time and many others in our group said the same. It was truly delicious. I will definitely be visiting again.

Needed a curry and the Spice of Balti was open so returned after a gap of 10 years since my last visit. I doubt whether it has changed much in the intervening years, it was a tad untidy but there was a good aroma coming from the kitchen so prepared to give it a go.

A bit grubby to eat in, but the food is brilliant. If this place was decorated and brought up to date it would be fabulous

02OCT17 at approx 19:00 Just had a take-away Chicken Tikka Biryani - the worst meal I have had from any take-away, completely and utterly tasteless !

Heard this restaurant served good food. Really impressed with the food and definitely the best takeaway in the area with the exception of the Good Food St Stephens Norwich! Chicken tikka chilli Massala was very good. Nothing was too much trouble , Chana Panir served with authentic Panir, possibly homemade? If ppl thought food bland they obviously order the wrong dishes, try chefs specials?

Dropped in here today for our Asian fix. Have to say the two chicken dishes, Baltic and Karahi, were both excellent. Pleasant staff and very hospitable. Recommend.

Después de leer algunas de las críticas recientes que no estaban seguros de si para comer aquí. Sin embargo me alegro. Las comidas estaban bien cocidos y sabroso y ciertamente no corta de especias (pescado, pollo jalfrezi bhuna, pollo tikka masala y gambas korma). Y como un extra, a diferencia de muchos restaurantes indios, no tenían problemas para servir medias raciones para mis hijas jóvenes. Sí, los camareros no eran 'hablador' pero eran educados y eficientes y personalmente no me gusta que los camareros están constantemente en su mesa haciendo una conversación educada. La habitación quizás estaba demasiado caliente y la decoración un poco anticuada, pero todo dicho y hecho bien, tuvimos una comida a un precio moderado.

We live in Halesworth and decided on an Indian that's near but not in our town Everything was fine but bland and boring. Service was prompt but no conversation or any help or suggestions. Won't rush back

Visited with a customer last night - food was edible but very bland, maybe just an off night but wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

Excellent service. Good home cooked comfort food that fills your tummy and warms your heart. Well done.

La comida y el servicio eran muy buenos, la decoración deja un poco que desear. No es el papel, pero casi! acuden Dicho esto, el personal era encantador y eficiente y la selección de la comida estupenda. Lo recomiendo.

Ordered a takeaway from here as offered delivery, I personally would have rather driven an hour to get a decent Indian than have their food delivered. Everything was bland, swimming in grease, the tandoori chicken tikka was white?!! No tandoori flavour at all. Ended up only being able to eat the nan bread from a £30 meal for 2. This place used to be good but it was disgusting. I would not recommend ordering from here.

If we hadn't been in for a friend's birthday we would've walked out. Dreadful in every way. Service was practically nonexistent, slow and disinterested. I've never seen king prawns chopped up to make them go further probably. Food tasteless apart from being salty. Serious this place has problems.

This restaurant seems more a take away than a restaurant. The service was slow due to interruptions for take away. The food was indifferent. The king prawns were tiny. The Chicken was good quality. The spices were mainly absent. I have also had a poor night with the after effects. I will not be returning

The restaurant is awful, as I walked in and was seated to a table, the flowers on the table were dead, the plates were not clean, there was an ant crawling across the table!!!! The glass of water had loads of white bits floating around in it. The plug sockets clearly haven't been cleaned as they're brown but meant to be white, there's wires everywhere. The waiters are nice, but then who knows what happens in the kitchen. Would never return!!

We both quite like Indian food and have visited good, bad and indifferent Asian restaurants all across the UK. Here, we both agree, we had undoubtedly the worst meal we've ever endured in any restaurant.Quickly seated by friendly if distracted staff, we waited twenty minutes to order. The food arrived half an hour later - unfortunately, it was someone else's; our own was delivered after a further 15 minutes. It looked uninspiring - bland and pasty with an absolute minimum of ingredients and spices. A couple of mouthfuls confirmed that opinion so, disappointed and with a bad taste to remind us, we paid and left.I find it hard to believe that any establishment serving food of such an appalling standard can stay in business, although a couple of locals told us later that their takeaways are very good cold the following day, if one has a bad hangover.

I have had curries on and off from this restaurant over the years. The last one I had (a lamb rogan josh) was tough and chewy and hard to eat. With recent competition opening up in Hedenham they need to change things up.

The service & food is 2nd to none. I hope it can stay this good, it has for the past 2 years. Highly recommend

We were on holiday in the area and decided to have an Indian takeaway. Found this one on line as we don't know the area. They delivered which was great. This was the best lamb pasanda I have had . My other half said his chicken dish was good as well. Great find. If I lived nearer I would be a regular customer.

We regularly visit here as the food on offer is great and the service excellent. The food is consistent and represents excellent value for money. The quick and friendly service tops off a lovely evening. Take away and delivery is also an option.

Last night was my first visit to this restaurant.I was seated fairly quickly, I was one of the first of the party to arrive - I did ask of we had a table booked (I couldn't remember) and the waiter didn't know either but there were loads of seats avaliable so it didn't really matter.I wasn't offered a drink or a menu till the rest of the party arrived which I found a little annoying as I could have done with the menu to look at whilst waiting.When everyone did arrive we were offered poppadoms to munch on and we had our drinks orders taken.Our drinks took a little while to arrive and not all of them arrived at the same time I feel like the waiter forgot some of them.For the food I ordered the prawn korma (I don't do massively spicy food) and chips.My korma was nice, wasn't too hot and had all the right flavours, was just a little watery for me personally, but it was really nice.The chips were awesome and I got loads of them so I was super chuffed with those.Our party managed to have our meeting and we weren't nagged to leave quickly after finishing our meal or anything so that was really good as we we quite some time after our meal there. Over all I would come back again, sad I didn't get a dessert haha, wasn't offered any (though I'm not sure if they do them!). It was al reasonably priced too, my meal came to just under £10 (korma, chips and lemonade) so that's a really good price.Staff were polite so I was happy with that.

Visited here previously but God it has gone down hill. Had poppadoms that was all i'd risk. Table setting had no cutlery then told to get from another table. Jesus I'd stay at home if I had to go looking for a fork!!!!!! No wonder empty on a Saturday night!!

In what has become a bit of an annual tradition (whilst at a conference nearby) a small group of us escaped to Spice of Balti for a a late night curry and a chat.The food was good and the staff friendly. Prices were reasonable as were the portion sizes.A nice way to spend an hour or so.

Visited this lovely little restaurant this evening. I have to say the food was so fresh and the service was great. Its quite a small little restaurant so it's quite intimate and great for couples. The toilets were clean also.

I love this place. Eat with my friends from work every Friday night and my Whife and I love the Sunday special.

The food here is not good at all! It was very bland, I would not recommend going here, if you tell the staff about the food and they become very aggressive! Its no wonder why the place was empty……

Had a very pleasant dinner here. We had been browsing Bungay all afternoon and were in need of a rest and a pleasant meal. Not knowing what to expect we were very happy with the food, service and overall experience of this restaurant.

We ordered take away food from this restaurant. The food tasted really good with plenty of flavour and a sensible level of heat for each dish. The food was cooked promptly and ready for collection. Prices are a little higher than we're used to back home, but not unreasonable.

A nice classy indian restaurant and the kind staff are keen to answer any questions you have in mind,The food was just mind blowing will defo return,

On a Saturday night the takeaway business was doing well but there were only two tables occupied in the restaurant. It was difficult to attract the staff attention as they were too busy stuffing the takeaway bags. The lamb was chewy and tasteless. There was a very loud and drunken conversation between the queue for the takeaway and the other table across the restaurant. The table and booth was cramped for two people. We won't go back.

10/10 Service delivered from The Best Waiters Luthfur and Shaif and the food was banging, home deliveries bang on time aswel,

We experience the food from this restaurant as customers of the take-away service.Excellent menu, really great cooking, and very prompt service.The restaurant is very basic (in terms of layout and decoration) but is always welcoming and inviting as far as the staff are concerned.A welcome addition to the dining-out options in this area.

Once we came here, we never stopped! The food is amazing, at very reasonable prices. The staff are sometimes a bit unprofessional, but the food always good.

Good food, with a varied menu at reasonable prices. The staff were very attentive we had a really nice evening here.

I have used this as Restaurant and a Takeaway and it provides the usual range of Indian Cuisine at fair prices. We mainly use the Takeaway service that they provide. Very polite and efficient and should they get it wrong a phone call will result in a apology,

It was OK. Difficult to review but nothing really jumped out at being Amazing which we were hoping. A real shame as Bungay doesn't have any other places offering Indian Cuisine. Hey ho. Perhaps just a bad occasion

Spice of Balti - in Bungay town centre- is my favourite Indian restaurant in the whole world. We have been going there for 20 years or more and the food never disappoints. It's top notch and the owner couldn't be more welcoming. Chicken tikka balti, aloo gobi, onion bajee and a pint of Kingfisher - heaven!

tasty food very good service and open on a Monday night. It was a bit quiet when we first arrived which worried us but it got quite busy and clearly the locals use it often.

Great food but the guy serving me was so rude! No thank you,felt really unwelcome..terrible service.

I've lived near Bungay for 15+ years and have always gone to the Spice of Balti - a first class Indian Restaurant. All the food is good despite the fact that I always have Chicken Tikka Dhansak as my main course.

Thinking of a visit? Go Go Go!! ,,,Mr Odin has owned this fine establishment for over 20 years and throughout I have been a fan, he takes pride in his food and very often he can be found in the kitchen knocking up some fine meals, the prices are reasonable and the decor again reasonable this is not a 'high end' restaurant but better than the average, Mr Odin and his family work in the restaurant and are all dedicted to the task of delivering good food at sensible prices, one tiny critisism the papadum pickles have never changed in 20 years the lime pickle rates 1 out of ten,,, everything else 9 / 10

I would recommend everyone that wants an Indian to go to "spice of Balti" because the place is very welcoming, staff was great and happy unlike other Indians I have been to they helped us chose the dishes we wanted as we are rather picky people! Once the food arrived I couldn't wait to tuck in the smell and aroma of the food made my mouth water, the food was amazing absolutely speechless it blew me away and I had to leave a really good tip.

I've never eaten in here so can only comment on the take away. We've found the food to be consistently good. The guys working here don't seem the happiest of chaps, but who area when you're only paying a bill and picking up food to go. Also they will make off menu dishes if you ask. Worth a try.

Just Moved to Bungay recently, went to the restaurant amazing food really enjoyed it, the restaurant has a great vibe and a very good service

Great customer service really helpful and talkative, amazing food best indian around these parts, would recommend everyone to try and go there :)

We've used this for 21 years and always pleased the owner has become like a friend every time he welcomes and gives us s little nibble always hot food and fresh fantastic service

I've lived in the area for 5 years and eaten here on at least 20 occasions as well as had numerous take aways. Standard prices are reasonable and the Thursday/Sunday special options are exceptional value. With one solitary exception the food has always been excellent. Some of the spicier dishes do tend to be hotter than most other restaurants (such as the Jalfrezi), so take this into consideration when ordering if you don't like it too hot (or tell the waiter to make it slightly milder). However, I do think they are probably made closer to the authentic recipes rather than dumbed down for British clientele. My wife is a big korma fan though and we haven't been anywhere else that does a better one in her opinion. Interior is a traditional decor and looking a little dated, but I go to Indian restaurants for a good curry & know I'll get one here.

I was shocked to see the bad reviews. We've tried all the Indians in the area and this is definitely the best for quality of food. We occassionally eat in and have experienced slow service once or twice, but if so they are always nice about it and offer a free round of drinks if things aren't up to spec.

Nicest Indian meal for a long time and very reasonably priced too. Service prompt and courteous. Chicken korma portion was more than I could eat and the naan bread very tasty and fluffier than most I've had. My fellow diner enjoyed her vegetable dansak and pilau rice - all that and 2 soft drinks was £21.65. The staff provided free poppodums and a free starter for us to try. they were keen to know if we enjoyed our meal and what we thought of the standard. Judging by the number of other diners who were on first name terms with the staff, I would say they get a lot of regulars. Not a bad number of covers for a Monday night either. Couldn't disagree with previous posters more and I'm very fussy.

Enjoyed a takeaway from this restaurant- service was sharp and enjoyed the added bonus of free pappadoms - excellent value for money

Awful service, rude staff, grubby restaurant and tasteless food - all in all the worst Indian restaurant it has been my displeasure to go to

We go here sober, tipsy, drunk and we haven't had a bad meal in the 4 years that we have been using this as our take away and eat in Indian. Having lived in Manchester for 7 years this place is the only one around here that we feel is of the same standard of the curry houses we used to frequent.Go there and enjoy!

Having failed to get a meal at a pub in a nearby village we went to the Spice of Balti. 1½ years ago we ate well there, served and entertained by the proprietor.Today we both had the £11.95 Sunday Special; poppadums and pickles, onion bahji or samosa, chicken korma, curry or madras, vegetable curry or bombay aloo, plus a naan.The food was hot and plentiful, if a little ordinary, and we took home sufficient for another meal. The service was adequate but delivered without warmth. The menu and atmosphere reminded us of Indian restaurants in the '60s and '70s. We might return, we might not.

Very our service, table not laid properly and had to ask for side plates and serviettes. We were still enjoying the pickle tray when the waiter came and just served the main course, taking the pickles away. I have had jalfrezi curries many times before but nothing as hot as this! Wouldn't go back the whole experience was bad and not to be repeated!

Was excited to go for a meal here with my friends from work as 'Sunday special' sounds rather good...perhaps don't expect too much if they do a full Indian meal for £11.95! but we thought we would give it a go! The problem started as we sat down...we weren't shown to our table, the stuffy young lad at front of house just merely pointed us in the direction of the table. he asked us then what we would like to drink..my other friends decided they wanted cola rather quickly so was left deciding..rather than holding him up any longer i asked if he would deliver my friends drinks while i decided...when he returned with three colas and placed one for me i was a bit shocked...i don't remember ordering a drink! Then out came the poppadoms with pickles and sauces..was still obviously nibbling them when he just took them away! The starter had already been and gone by then, was ok..actually was probably the best bit! The food was ok...nothing to write home about but will definitely not be returning due to the lack of customer care! Even a smile would've been nice! Was pleased to leave and i think he was pleased to see us leave! Not a good overall experience would not recommend!

Not one of our finest dining experiences as eating here was a great let down.Service slow and surly,food adequate at best.Will not be rushing back any time soon.
