Standard Balti House in Tower Hamlets

AVOID THIS SCAM! I bought a Groupon voucher which clearly stated ANY Starter + ANY Signature/Traditional Main Course + ANY Rice/Bread + Beer/Wine for a reasonable price. When I reached there, I was told by multiple servers and the boss that I could only order from a cut-down menu (likely because the voucher offered substantial discount which they weren't happy with). I repeatedly told them that I purchased the voucher only because of the menu advertised on the website but they dismissed it and kept asking if I was ready to order from the menu which didn't contain what I wanted.. I ended up sitting in the restaurant for more than 30 mins chatting with the incompetent customer services from Groupon who kept asking me to wait patiently. (For what might I ask?) Eventually a guy came up to me and said that I could order what was on the menu that came with the voucher though I still wasn't able to order a few items because the menu was "wrong". The food finally arrived but to my disappointment. The starter was average at best but the main dish was utterly unpalatable. I had a few bites and left the restaurant as I didn't want to go through with the tortorous experience that is supposedly the best Indian place in Brick Lane. "Voted Best Indian" - don't kid yourself scammers. I could easily find an Indian place which offers way better dishes and customer services than you.

Very tasty food, quiet setting on a Monday night. The okra is a must.

Delicious food and delightful, elegant service by Atiq. Very impressed.

Exception food and service By Atiq the waiter was very welcoming. Would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food, best curry we’ve had! Customer service from Atiq was brilliant! Sophia highly recommends it!

Great food and great service from Atiq!

Great food, good service. Atiq looked after us well :-)

I had an excellent chicken jalfrezi, which was served by a polite and professional staff named Ahmed. Recommend!

Absolutely amazing Indian food. Indian is my favourite cuisine, have been to hundreds of places and this is definitely a top contender. What makes it number 1 is its customer service. The server, Ahmed, treated us very well. They are always there when you need them with a smile and a lovely disposition. I've never had better service or Indian food.

Very nice food, good service. Atiq was very friendly

Lovely food, and our waiter Ahmed was super kind!

Wonderful meal and service from Ahmed- I recommend the garlic naan and spinach ponir.

My friends suggested this restaurant, as they'd been before and said it was great. Despite this, I was really surprised, if not amazed, by how outstanding the whole experience was. I can not recommend this place enough. The food was fantastic, and the service, particularly from Piash was exceptional. This is a really, really nice place, but still more than affordable and I'm sure many others will think likewise.

Great service from Muhammad, would visit again for sure 👌

Delicious food and amazing service by Atiq.

Best indian restaurant in Bricklane ! Atiq was very nice, we will come back

We were craving a proper Desi meal and we made the best decision to come here! Left with full hearts and tummies. The butter chicken and Lahore lamb are both must haves!

We came back to the Standard Balti House after many years. We moved out of London years ago but it used to be our favourite. It was still amazing!
