The Balti House in Nottingham

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and staff are so friendly! Would 100% recommend for anyone in Nottingham

Vegan delight. A trip to the city from the sticks and craving an Indian meal. Ordered through Just Eat and the most amazing vegan meal arrived. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nice food indeed. No doubt they provide best food in Nottingham with affordable cost. Staffs are also very friendly and best ever possible service I found here.

Set meal is a great value for the money. £14 we getva quality starter, a cast iton balti dish. Also a fresh nan an basmati pulao rice. Great great value. Thanks yo the balti team.

I first visited the Balti house as an impoverished student, thirty years ago and it was super balti curry at an affordable price. Today, it is exactly the same but the set menu has risen from £6.75 to £14.95, which is hardly outrageous. £14.95 buys a choice of starters, a balti curry and a naan, which is an adequate meal for an adult. The wine starts at £12.95 and the most expensive is £14.95 for a very acceptable Australian Pinot Grigio. The balti curry itself is better quality than you will find at most restaurants. The flavours are properly infused, so I assume it is made and then left for a while to allow the flavours to develop. Do not go here expecting a swanky experience, with uniformed waiters fawning to your every whim. This place is basic, basic, basic and the owner is likely to serve you himself. He is an affable chap never short of an anecdote. Whilst there have been decades between my visits, the quality and value has remained constant, and I feel confident in recommending it. So if you want a top quality balti curry in Nottingham, at a very affordable price, give the Balti House a try.

The place is really nice and the food was amazing. The place is really good if you crave some indian/south asian food. Family friendly

I had some amazing food here and the owner was very helpful and kind. The place has a nice cozy vibe

Balti house kept on producing traditional for the past 55 years. Price they kept to a moderate and affordable main course was £9 nan bread £2.95 pint of cobra larger only £3.95. I am returning with my family soon. Keep going Sam.

we ordered a dansak each and cobra beers. the dansak seemed to be lacking lentils and wasnt the best flavours. i travel around a lot trying dansak in each area i visit. this is near the bottom of my favourite list. the cobra tasted suspiciously unlike cobra and i could hear cans being opened every time we ordered more beer ( we were the ONLY customers so it was definitely our beers). we spent well over an hour here and didnt hear the phone ring for orders nor did anyone else visit whilst we were there. my most memorable moment was every time i ordered another beer ( i had 3 in total- imagine !) i was met with incredulity (im female !) and when i ordered my 3rd beer the waiter implied i was loose ( he said...wow another beer? after this you could be anyone's!) i laughed this off but it was an uncalled for comment, especially with my long term boyfriend being present. it was his birthday and he wished we'd went to the other place we were originally going to visit.

Curry was cold by the time it arrived

Fantastic food as always… and proper value for money. Is always the kids (17 and 13) go to curry take away and restaurant.

Visited with a group of 14 friends and the food was delicious and service was great. Vast selection of dishes on the menu. Will be visiting again the next time I am in Nottingham.

Great flight meal. Balti house í doing a flight meal six item for just 11.95. Its simple and great and friendly staff hope to visit again soon

The food was generous - I was half full by the starter veg puree. Main dishes went well with rice. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Food was absolutely amazing, main boss man greeted us from the moment we we got inside, made sure we were well looked after, we were given complementary specials, the dishes were cooked to perfection, lovely friendly place

Whenever we are in Nottingham, we always visit The Balti House, because we are treated to the finest cuisine, the warmest welcome and exquisite service. We were recommended the Patro Chicken tonight; a 12 hundred year old recipe, using a unique combination of special spices. It was absolutely delicious. We also sampled the Tandoori Paneer Masala, which was perfectly juicy on the inside, and beautifully cooked on the outside. The spices used in both dishes were perfectly blended and balanced, and tantalising to the taste buds. We can also recommend the honey glazed peshwari naan! Food of the Gods! Go sample the menu, you won't be disappointed.

We have been coming to the Balti House since I lived here in 2017 and it’s our favourite Indian Restaurant in Nottingham. Sam is such a lovely person and the food is top notch. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Our 1st time here at one of the oldest Indian restaurants in Nottingham - and why did we leave it so long....?!? From a very friendly greeting from Bash & Sam to a lovely send off, this was a thoroughly enjoyable meal & visit. Food was to die for, the chicken puri is huge (& so delicious, i forgot to photographit..!). I had the patro chicken ( apparently the only place in UK serving it) for something different - wow! Fabulous dish, I had it Madras strength but can be spiced to the heat you want it. We'll definitely be back (to try the Peru specials!!). Take away & delivery available too. Many thanks

We made a great choise for my wife birthday. Food and service was excellent that's why balti house is very popular restaurant since 1970 .thank you for the great night.!!✌👌✌

Fantastic first visit to this lovely restaurant, Sam was so welcoming instantly putting you at ease, and was super friendly and chatty. The food was delicious and served piping hot and was plentiful. We will definitely be back to sample more delicious food and highly recommend to all. Alison (Cheetah)

Omg !!!! Amazing everytime friendly welcome and the food is to die for ❤️❤️❤️

delivered on time. Great flavour, tender meat. would have liked the jalfrezi do be a bit more spicy(personal preference) would definitely order again!

This place is great! Had a marvellous meal with four other friends. Sammy was just the best host! Can’t recommend enough. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Delivery was over an hour late. Difficult to judge the quality of the food as it was past its best

Hidden gem of an Indian. Superb food, wonderful staff and cheap as chips..the perfect combination. We were made to feel truly welcome and royally entertained.

Sam is the perfect host. Love coming here, great food and venue.

Poor quality. Not worth the price they are charging. Left meal in the middle because was not good. No flavour and not much quantity. I will not recommend this place.

been here from derby to eatout with friends but i was very disappointed about the food quality they serve ive oder the grill and was like is was heated in the microwave and has no taste at all so just left without even eating the main course which i cancelled

Honestly don’t even attempt to go there. Ordered grill and a curry, came specially from Derby. I have never had such a grill in my entire life. Disgusting, could literally see it was warmed up in the microwave. As soon as i tasted the grill i was so ashamed but i had to cancel the curry as i never tasted this kind of food. I’m really sorry to put such a review but this is unacceptable.

Even though it was a quiet Monday night, we had a great time visiting the Balti House Nottingham. A superb host Sam, with superb food. I could have licked the plate clean. I will definitely be back!

We went early at 6pm . Had a superb meal served in a very professional way . Clean and comfortable with quick service and nicely served. Beautiful sauce with the Rogan Josh . I recommend it to everyone . Give it a go

We were the first customers of the evening due to going to a show at Motorpoint Arena. We were warmly welcomed despite how cold it was the restaurant soon warmed up. The food, service was lovely 😍. We highly recommend and if we didn't live so far away in Stoke would be regular customers. Thank you for making us so welcome 😍

What a great place! We had a lovely meal in a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The owner is such a lovely and entertaining character and definitely adds to the experience. I will be back!

Wonderful birthday Balti with friends. Superb food and service from Sam & team, as always. One of Nottingham's hidden gems.

I live locally and always pass by The Balti House so my partner & I decided to try it out as we really fancied a curry. I went into the restaurant to order a takeaway & the Front of House waiter was super friendly & kind - he even gave me a small discount as we live close by which was very thoughtful! The food was delicious & the portion sizes were generous. They offer very affordable pricing as well compared to many of the chain restaurants - we ordered 2 curries, 2 naan’s & rice & it came to £23 which is very reasonable. We will definitely visit again!

Highly recommended curry house. Fantastic, tasty food with front of house staff extremely welcoming and sociable. Definitely be revisiting this 5 star little gem.

Probably one of the worst curry houses I’ve been to in the UK.

Food is always superb and the staff are simply wonderful. If you come have a chat with the owner Sam he’s a legend. Never disappoints

Me and my family have been going here for years, the service is excellent and attentive without being in your personal space which is what I always want from restaurants. Nothing worse than a waiter talking at you but Sam is amazing. He knows how to treat his guests. On top of this the food is amazing and affordable, it’s a proper hidden gem in hockley.

We had a delicious meal here - service was excellent.

Its like going back in time with the price eating here . We was recommended by a friend and we keep coming back. The food its fantastic and full of flavour. We was getting fed up of playing over the odds for a curry and then you got nothing special. Where here the price is great and so is the food . If you want a great tasting curry at half the price as anywhere else . This is the place .

We’ve been coming here for twenty years We think it’s the BEST curry house in Nottingham We love it - please come here

Firstly the customer service was warm and welcoming really make u feel at ease, then there’s the food, everything is so tasty it’s like an explosion of spices for ur pallet too explore, would defiantly recommend eating here 10/10 Best way I can explain the place is family warmth.

This little restaurant was amazing, the food the atmosphere and the service. Would highly recommend to anyone. This food was so nice I want to go back already. Staff are friendly, and helpful. Such a relaxing feel inside with the decor and music, I didn't want to leave.

The Balti House is wonderful, the food is amazing and Sam the owner is so accommodating and welcoming. Excellent Vegetarian and Vegan menus. This place isn't just about the food, it's the experience and the atmosphere. We've been to other places, but they don't compare. Highly recommended

We had a lovely curry I had chicken madras other half had chicken korma. Thoroughly enjoyed it. a great chat with owner had a good old reminiscences about old Indian restuarants in notts .poppadoms with Terry and bash great lads. Hymalaya and koh i noor thi k spelt that wrong. Will be back when go back nottingham visit .was about 6 months ago when we last went

Fantastic food and personable service. Well deserving of a 5/5. Thank you for a special anniversary dinner

like a supermarket curry. tasted of nothing.

Just incredible!! The food was to die for!! The price was unbelievably low and the service we received was second to none!! Cannot recommend highly enough!!!

Great authentic curry house Very enjoyable A must visit for a traditional curry 🍛

Very nice food will have again thanks

The best curry I have ever had. It was amazing, so tasty.

Cheep as chips , but tastes great , the place to go between beers , the staff were really good fun and full of comedy

Great night out for a traditional curry Very enjoyable , welcoming atmosphere Authentic India cuisine, popular favourites in the menu - go check them out !!

I really enjoyed my meal here. The food was really delicious and the service was amazing. We were the only ones here and got all of the attention, I loved it

The food was very good. The service was even better. I had a really good time.

Cheap as chips , and tastes as good as any British Style Indian

My partners family have been coming here for about 21 years now and the food is amazing can not fault it in any way best curry in Nottingham and the price of the food is good as well

Fantastic food and great service for a very reasonable price. Found a new favourite place and will be back soon. Would recommend without hesitation and can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find the Balti House!

Just had one of the best meals in a long time. Service was as excellent as the food for a very reasonable price. I would recommend eating here, but don’t all go at once as I would like to get a table when I come...

This Restaurant has been here since 1970. Food was excellent as always, service was impeccable, and the most welcoming atmosphere. Love it🥰

Food amazing, and the service just lovely 😁

Great food, great service and very good prices.

Would like to make a complaint about the food, as the curry contained beef, not mutton as ordered. I would like a full refund.

Really great restaurant, fantastic food. Best Indian restaurant in Nottingham. We really enjoyed it!

Really great food, really enjoyed

I saw the reviews for this restaurant and booked a table to see if the reviews were true, the food was amazing! There was 3 of us that went, we ordered from the vegan menu and we all walked away very happy with all the food we had. I highly recommend going here and will definitely be going back.

Was lovely food. Second time we been. However this time it was a takeaway. We ordered lamb Rohan josh, lovely decent quality meat and load of authentic Indian flavours. I had the paneer tandoori masala. Lovely rich flavour,,, however….. only received 6 pieces of paneer...

Rogan Josh was to die for! Went here for date night as tried every other Indian restaurant and takeaway in the Nottingham area and this place beats them all. We was greeted at the door and shown to a table where we was served with...

I've been several times to this restaurant as I was attracted by the breadth of the menu and inclusion of mixed vegetable options for most of the curries, as I find these to be more satisfying than the usual 'veg side dishes'. I have now tried the vegetable balti, vegetable madras and vegetable dhansak. Next time, the jalfrezi. The curries have a good amount and good mix of vegetables with a delicious sauce. The mark of a good veggie currie is that it's better than the meat options and I find this to be the case here. Thanks Sam!

Rogan Josh was to die for! Went here for date night as tried every other Indian restaurant and takeaway in the Nottingham area and this place beats them all. We was greeted at the door and shown to a table where we was served with popadoms whilst we waited for our food. The service was AMAZING and felt like the most welcome atmosphere in Nottingham. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE as it’s authentic food where as a lot of other places are fake googled recipe and use food colouring.

Decent staff. Food was beyond brilliant. Genuine authentic Indian (non halal). Extremely worth going! Staff were so nice. Very welcoming.

Great for groups. Sam, the owner, is very friendly and generous, great host! We have returned many times!

Brilliant service and care !! Love the food and fun energy. All the curry was delicious and the house wine was also very very tasty

Amazing service, we got free starters to try which were unreal 10/10. The curries were filling and served beautifully.

Absolute fantastic service. Sam was absolutely amazing and they were very accommodating to a number of us. Would definitely recommend and will be coming here again very soon!

Same staff and great flavours for over 25 years. Never fails to totally satisfy, friendly service, the ultimate Indian experience in Nottingham. Sam and Bash are the best. Pre order the Cauliflower pakora, taste sensation.

Really lovely curries and owner. The 'peru' style creamy rogan josh was very nice and different from your usual curry house dishes, definitely recommend and we will be back again soon!

Try the Peru dishes! It's good to see a curry house with a twist and a few actually unique things on the menu! Delicious meal, very friendly and personal service. We tried the "Peru inspired" Creamy Rogan josh which was delicious, and very different to a run of the mill curry, and a nice story to go with it too. We also the meat balti which again was great, not too spicy but really nice. We have been meaning to visit for a while as actually our local but now we have tried we will back again really soon. :)

My food was delivered very late but the on reading the local news the following day I realised that there had been a disturbance near the restaurant which may explain the problem. The meal was just for myself as I couldn’t cook due to having fractured my elbow so it being late was of no great worry to me. I was very pleased to be kept updated about the delay.

Great mealwith family. service is spot on £10 voucher is a great honor. I been told voucher photo in my moble is perfectly alright.

This is fantastic can fault it evertime platter fish pakora all means excellent service excellent people all you need in a restaurant close to the city centre of Nottingham just of hockey

This is my favourite Indian Restaurant in Nottingham. This restaurant is located in the trendy Hockley Quarter and has been trading on the same site for 53 years. Always made welcome by Sam and the other members of staff. There is a good selection of...

Food was fantastic and Sabbir is a wonderful host with a plethora of interesting stories. Thank you for a great evening!

Great food, and lovely hosts! I've been visiting The Balti House every once in a while since the nineties, and every time the curries have been consistently good, as well as being great value. Well worth a visit, especially for their signature Patro chicken 👌

Amazing people, polite as always and the staff are always there to greet and chat to you. Food is awesome I had Butter Chicken I believe they are the best in Notts for their food and very traditional. Great price, Great People and Great Food. 👏🏼 Happy St Patrick’s Day! ☘️🇮🇪

Wow is all I can say. I had seen some good reviews so I thought I would give The Balti House a try. The best Indian meal I have had for years. Chicken Puri was amazing fluffy bread and well spiced and flavoured chicken, the main meal was equally as good. Kema nann was well cooked with just the right amount of spice. The host was fantastic really friendly and chatty. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Nottingham.

Food was excellent, the curries are thick and full of flavour. The Patro Chicken was very very good and I’m looking forward to eating again. 1 portion of rice was either missed from the order or no longer part of the Balti Meal? I was refunded for this in any case. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food and a great environment with lovely staff. Have been a couple of time and will come again many more. Sam is a legend.

Amazing food and service, really enjoyed the evening! Thanks a lot to the team for the Greta food and service :)

Amazing food and a great environment with lovely staff. Sam is a legend.

Great restaurant with very friendly and interactive staff. The place is very inviting and the food was better than any place I’ve had.

Great food, friendly staff, lovely and clean restaurant, we will go back again....😉👍

Sam is an absolute Sir Food was delicious as always always come here with my friends and family best curry house in all of Nottingham 😋❤️

My dad first started visiting the Balti House in the early 80s and we’ve continued the tradition through the generations! The food never fails to be delicious and Sam and the team are always so welcoming and service is top notch. A must visit if...
