Standard Balti House in Tower Hamlets

La comida es fantástica, tan sabrosa. El personal es genial y muy servicial. Una necesidad si buscas un gran balti. Vinimos aquí hace más de 20 años y sigue siendo increíble.

Very good food. Excellent for family

Colleagues dinner. Lovely evening

Random family meal! Service on point, accommodated our specific requests. First round of drinks on the house 20% off Bill Staff were so friendly

Amazing food, lovely service, price is very decent, would highly recommend. Small/ big party events.

Nunca más iré a este restaurante. Me dijeron fuera 20%, descuento y 1 bebida gratis, pero cuando llegó la factura no estaba allí y lo negaron descaradamente, y también uno de nuestro partido entendió lo que estaban diciendo y nos estuvo escoriando toda la noche

Ahmed was a very nice waiter and the food was good. Staff were helpful an friendly.

Had dinner with family and was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Staff were very friendly and attentive but gave sufficient time for us to consider menu as we had children in the group (that the staff were fantastic with!). The atmosphere was very nice and the food was excellent from starters to mains. The staff were very happy to deal with any special requests and dietary requirements and the price is very reasonable. All in all a good evening all around.

Great food and atmosphere. Ahmed looked after us well. One of the best places on Brick Lane.

Spoken to Ahmed and had a great experience. Food was great and brilliant atmosphere. Nice servers and quick service

Ahmed was very helpful and nice. Tasty food and great service

Ahmed’s service was amazing, we were looked after very well and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing, and portion size perfect Ady

Esta fue mi primera visita a Brick Lane y tenía muchas ganas de tener un curry auténtico de calidad... Estaba muy decepcionado con Standard Balti House... Fui con mi hermano y su esposa ... El entrante estaba bien, pero el Pollo Korma principal con Aloo Gobi estaba apenas caliente cuando llegó ... Además de que el pollo en el Korma no estaba condimentado en absoluto y parecía que se habían puesto trozos de pollo en una salsa Korma... Muy poco sabor al curry en absoluto. . Tuve que pedirle al camarero que me devolviera los platos para calentarlos... No recomendaría este restaurante...

Amazing delicious food served by our friend Ahmed (highlight dish: Garka lamb) - highly recommended

Ahmed was amazing and recommended an amazing dish that we all loved. Definitely coming back!

Thank you Ahmed for the food, it was delicious and we had a great time, nice location

Ahmed was very nice to us! He gave us free drinks and the food was delicious!

Un excellent restaurant situé dans le pittoresque quartier de Brick Lane, les plats sont copieux et délicieux.. et le personnel sympathique

My first time visiting here with family. I really enjoyed my meal. Food was tasty and flavour with just the right amount of spice. Good portions. The atmosphere was great and the service was impressive. Standard Balti House but not standard at all! 🌟

,Atique and Mr Ahmed, great service. Must visit for authentic taste

Full Desi Vibes, menu was amazing. Had sag paneer,chana masala,brinjal bhaji, awesome taste and the whole staff was friendly. Cheers highly recomended.

Enjoyed bollywood music, high five to chef. Friendly Staff. If you love spicy food must visit this restaurant.

Ahmed was great the best Indian food I have had in London, I have tried a few Indian restaurants and this will be our new regular spot for Indian food. We will be back again soon!

We had a really great night and the food was really good. Ahmed was so nice and gave us great service.

Ahmed was a great host. Really appreciated the speed of service, as well as quality! I will definitely be coming back next time

Fabulous prawn biriany this afternoon. Very tasty. The service was excellent and the bill very reasonable. I certainly recommend this restaurant, and Ahmed’s service.

Johnny our waiter was excellent the food was yummy aswel

Johnny was excellent the food was delicious

Wow I can't believe that this place is rated this highly. Maybe London doesn't have decent Indian food, because if this place is rated 4.6, wow. We had tikka masala and garlic naan and onion bhagi. The tikka was horrible. It seriously tasted like Campbell's soup with 7 small pieces of chicken in it. Completely tasteless. Zero spice, not heat, spice. Do they not know what Indian spices are? The naan was dry and tasteless, and we had garlic naan. Zero garlic flavour at all. The onion bhajee dish was also tasteless and greazy. If I wasn't so upset at having to eat such horrible food I would be laughing at the fact they had a sign saying the chef had received some top award! Please stay away in fact leave this area as fast as you can and go eat some other cuisine in London. I have a feeling they are all terrible and no one knows what Indian food is who are rating these places...

Ahmed delivered great service aswell as the food tasting incredibly good

Had a great time here with my friends the food was really good and we got a small discount that really counted Ahmed was really nice and gave us a free drink !! The best one on brick Lane!!

The food was really good. I enjoyed the chicken biryani. The service was great are waiter Ahmed was very good and I will definitely recommend

Best curry house on brick lane 🔥

Excellent food lovely service from Johnny highly recommended to everyone

Very good customer service. My waiter Ahmed was friendly and pleasant at all times and ensured a good dining experience from start to finish: I would 100% recommend to my friends and family.

It was great so was Ahmed came from the USA

Ahmed is the best, the food is great and the service was very nice. We will be back for Ahmed!! I am from New York I suggest this spot.

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

Very nice place and Ahmed was our waiter, nice and friendly. Food was great. I booked from The Fork

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 !!

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

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

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

Lovely meal this evening served by Ahmed.

I have had the pleasure in working in the Brick Lane area for a number of weeks, and my colleagues & I have eaten at The Standard several times. The staff have always been polite and courteous, and above generous. The food is excellent. I would happily recommend this restaurant, and I look forward to returning again soon.

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

Ahmed looked after us. Legend. Great food, great atmosphere. Best round table in town.

Great service from our server Ahmed!

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. ❤️

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.

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

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

Very good food johnny was our waiter he was vry helpful highly recommended

The food was delicious and the sevice from johnny was excellent thank you to the staff

Special thanks to Mabz for wonderful service!

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 Indian I had highly recommend

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

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 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 a boss - gave me free beer. Love Ahmed

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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