Standard Balti House in Tower Hamlets

Amazing experience, with the help of Ahmed to enjoy my dishes here. Chicken Balti was savory, a bit spicy, exactly like I liked it. Will be back next time !

Good food and especially good Service by Ahmed

Of the cuff decision walking past this restaurant. Decided to pop in and have a meal. A warm and friendly welcome the atmosphere is amazing. The food was amazing and full of flavours. Both Ahmed and Rahul were amazing !!! 5 stars is not enough !!

Food was delicious. The Balti was unforgettable. Will definitely be coming back.

Amazing service from Ahmed, he was so helpful and the food was great!!

Ahmed made it a very and memorable experience. The chicken dansak was very nicely made.

Lovely meal this evening served by Ahmed.

Lovely food. Very nice and good customer service. Ahmed looked after us very well.

Best curry on brick lane. Ask for Ahmed!

Very good experience, Ahmed was great

Amazing food, really enjoyable evening, thanks Ahmed, what a babe!

Very good food Excellent service

Just had a delicious meal at SBH Brick Lane the staff were friendly and more importantly the food was fresh and really tasty. Highly recommend. ❤️

Food was average, was disappointed with the flavours expected better, was on bland side. Service was good. Price was good value for money.

Johnny was excellent food was delicious

We were naively enticed into their £18 per person meal offer by a pushy employee outside. Restaurant was mostly empty on a Saturday night which says it all. Service when we got in was non existent. Starters came out almost too quickly and then followed by a 40 minute wait for mains. Curry’s were tasteless, lacked sauce and naan was dry and tasted reheated. Avoid this place - plenty of better options nearby.

best curry in brick lane johnny was excellent the food was yummy

Delicious food and our waiter Johnny was very helpful highly recommended

Kash and Jonny were excellent hosts Food was exquisite, thank you very much, guys

Really good service, especially from Ahmed

Food was lovey and service was excellent

The restaurant Balti had wonderful staff including Mr Ahmed and the garlic mushrooms are amazing

Taison and Ahmed were great hosts and so was the food. My go to place in the brick lane jungle. Have been going here for years and have always left satisfied.

First time at this restaurant and was not disappointed. Food was delicious, lovely calm ambience in the restaurant, great prices and looked after by the lovely Ahmed who showed real interest in his customers experience. The Baileys on the house at the end was a nice addition also. Would definitely recommend and return again.

Ahmed is an amazing server! He took care of us and helped with our orders. Me and my partner ordered Chicken rezalla and Lamb Rogan josh. Amazing dishes and so yummy. Great indian restaurant and we’re from Australia.

Best experience I ever had the food and the service from Johnny was excellent will be going back again when we are back in London thank you guys

Best Indian I had highly recommend

Been coming here for over 30 years. Quality never changes. Thank you guys!!. Until next time

Best Indian restaurant i ever been to very spacious and the food was delicious lovely family run business definitely coming back again Johnny was top class

This meal was disappointing. I hope the restaurant does more to deliver a better dining experience in the future. The appetizer portions were extremely small and tasted like they were cooked from frozen, and the naan was lukewarm by the time it was brought it to us. Also, the server was quite rude and was visibly frustrated when we didn’t personally hand him our dishes from the other side of the table, instead of him simply walking around to pick them up. We got the Balti specialty dishes and they were extremely mid - the lamb was very dry and the sauce was not well balanced. We were haggled into coming in and I wish we had stuck to our plans rather than let ourselves be argued into posting up here. It was basically empty and we should have taken that as a sign. When the appetizers were brought out with a very campy salad and flavorless sauces, we should have paid and left. Come here if you’re fine with less than average or a good deal (which we did get, I will give them that). But you get what you pay for. You’d be better off at a busier restaurant on Brick Lane.

Great service for Ahmad and all the team. Food was great and so was the atmosphere.

Ahmed was the best sever in the universe and the food is the best in thw world.

Ahmed was a boss - gave me free beer. Love Ahmed

I visited with the family for a curry, my brother in law booked using the taste card, so the family meal was an absolute bargain! I was sad that the crab puri was not available, but I enjoyed the prawn puri immensely. I also had bombay aloo, a chapati, mushroom rice and a chicken bhuna, and it was all delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a traditional Brick Lane indian.

Delicious food been coming here for last couple months was not disappointed at all very friendly staff specially Johnny was excellent looked after us properly 👍🏻

The best Indian food ever! We are thrilled. A worthy end to our trip to London. A big thank you to the Standard Baltihose and the team ❤️❤️❤️

Delightful food, great service and a nice setting. Will definitely return! Some really exciting dishes available, and lovely service.

Very nice experience, food it very tasty. Really well looked after by Ahmed! Definitely coming back

Ahmed is very kind and the food is amazing!! Lots of choices and very tasty ! Perfect !

Good value fast service curry house, deal offered on the door is straightforward

Great food. Always great service! Thanks to Ahmed and all of his colleagues. We will surely return for a good vindaloo 😀

Had a very enjoyable meal here. Many thanks to Ahmed for wonderful service. We ordered balti chicken and lamb which was very flavourful and the portions were quite generous too. Highly recommend

Delicious food service from Johnny was excellent

Excellent food the service from johnny was top class and chicken bhuna was delicious

All the guys there are super friendly! Especially Ahmet he made the overall experience really enjoyable. The food was amazing too especially the sag and the bhuna. Took my cousins here from USA and they loved it. Thanks again guys ❤️

**Standard Balti House Review** I recently visited Standard Balti House and, unfortunately, had a disappointing experience. The service, particularly by a staff member named Ahamed, was very unsatisfactory. It was clear that he treated Indian and white customers differently, which made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The food was just okay, not meeting our expectations overall. However, we did enjoy the Lamb Sali and Lamb Vindaloo, which were quite tasty. Given the poor service and only average food, I would not recommend Standard Balti House. There are many other Indian restaurants that offer better service and more consistent quality.

Really had an amazing food with great service from AHMAD the man who made the our time special. Really recommending the place to visit

Amazing food but the service was outstanding thank you to Ahmed for taking care of us!!

Ahmed was an amazing server and the food was superb. Top notch recommendations and the ambience was amazing as well.

Food was good, hygiene was maintained. Amd great service by ahmed .

Outstanding food with brilliant service. An overall lovely experience. Definitely coming back!

The hospitality is 10/10, so is the food! I am a regular customer for a reason, they never let me down. Food always on point so is customer service. Waiting time is quick. I highly recommend coming here. My personal favourite restaurant.

After eating at this restaurant, my friend unfortunately suffered from food poisoning. Initially, I intended to write a review about the lacklustre service and mediocre food, but these issues pale in comparison to falling ill. I rarely give a one-star review to a restaurant, but our experience was truly disappointing, and as a result, I would never visit this place again. I suggest you steer clear of this one.

We have always wanted to have a curry on Brick Lane and this did not disappoint. Ahmed looked after us very well and nothing was too much trouble. Recommended.

I really enjoyed the food, Ahmed was really nice and he took my order and my name dish was lamb sali. You should try it

This was a great place to eat. Authentic Desi cuisine. Ahmed was a great help and have us a great deal. The service was quick and they were very helpful.

Ahmed was amazing. Very good food. Highly recommend.

Got food poisoning after we had dinner there. Not the best way to end our London trip.

Excellent food lovely service from Johnny

Ahmed excellent service. Food incredible particularly king prawn masala. Highly recommended.

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff here are absolutely amazing very friendly kind and very good customer service. Ahmed who served my dinner I give him threes cheers.

Ahmed was a very good waiter and helped our group of 10

Good Ahmed was nice, would recommend. Ten people can eat. Enjoyed

the food is very nice, ahmed took the order and was serving very good

Ahmed has been a great server and made me n my family welcome , great food and great atmosphere, Ahmed deserves a pay rise

Came to London for the first time and had the best meal here. Reasonably priced, great and friendly service from Ahmed, and the best roshni vegetable I’ve ever had! My friends and I all would came back here in a minute.

Fantastic food and service. This is our second family trip to London and we made sure to come back here. There are so many options on Brick Lane but we would only come back here.

Very welcoming. Tasty food ,piash was a very good man. We would definitely come back!

You know … how can you visit Spitalfields Market and not to a Brick Lane Balti! It’s a must. The Standard deserves its high ratings. Food is great, service is old school correct, and the atmosphere is good. Not much more to say … well deserving of a visit.

We had a fabulous evening with gorgeous food & fantastic service from Ahmed! Thank you so much! Roni x

Great food excellent service! Ahmed was incredible!

Really really yummy food! The madras vegetable curry was divine and so was the king prawn dish! They are a bit pushy on leaving a review but well worth the visit! The foods so good :)

Great food!! Ahmed was awesome!

The place is the best quality food on brick lane. My family and I have been going here for nearly 20 years. The staff are fantastic, the food is fresh and it has an authentic London curry house atmosphere

Very nice surprise! Reasonable price

Excellent food lovely service from our waiter Johnny he was very polite and helpful and the food was delicious as well definitely recommend to everyone

Fabulous meal in lovely surroundings. Duck dishes were heavenly.

Excellent meal with fresh ingredients. Ahmed gave very friendly service. Thanks.

Our server, Ahmed, gave himself the 5 stars. Ahmed wants everyone to know that he is the best. Apart from that the food was great, we are not disappointed

Used to eat here weekly 30 years ago and came back to relive the great curry - it did not disappoint!! We loved it and Ahmed our waiter was great!!

We had a fantastic meal. Delicious food- particularly recommend the balti. The service was brilliant and everything was very good. Thank you!

Ahmed was an especial charm and a great host of our experience! Excellent service, delicious food, lovely area — every single aspect of our dining experience was wonderful and well cared for. Would highly recommend!

We got stopped while walking past, and we had our doubts, but....oh my god, it was amazing. We got incredible value for money, so much food for really good value. The service was so friendly, we had a server called Ahmed, and he was so attentive. I can not recommend this enough for a great deal Indian meal in Central London. Please visit this place, these guys are so nice and they definitely deserve your visit.

Got dragged into this place from the man on the street, there was a promise of drinks and a meal deal. We had no idea how it was going to be but they really came through. £20 for starter, main, rice, naan and 2 drinks - I would argue one of the best deals in London. And actually really tasty! Balti special is recommended. Special shout out to Ahmed who wanted to be a big part of our evening !

Had a lovely time at standard Baltic house. Great food and great atmosphere. Ahmed was very accommodating and always made sure we were satisfied. Great evening

Brick Lane's friendliest and tastiest curry house, the lovely Ahmed was very helpful and had the best recommendations. Outdoor seating on Brick Lane, good vibes, good for veggies too.

Great place. Good food, good price and really friendly staff. Would recommended to anyone visiting brick lane.

This is a great restaurant. Ahmed was amazing! The service is great, and the food is awesome. Top tip … just tell them the kind of thing you want and let them recommend. Thanks The Standard

Ahmed was an amazing host! Would highly recommend!

Piash served us fantastically, the food was delicious. My Sri Lanka friend did not sweat, but I definitely did!

Food is good very good service 😋 👌 👍
