I never leave bad reviews as a rule but I’m really sorry but this was the worst Indian takeaway I have ever had. We were on holiday in Brixham and had a delivery one evening. Four different curries (chicken tikka masala, king prawn korma, butter chicken and a chicken korma) and both my children couldn’t eat theirs and they LOVE curry. Their butter chicken and prawn korma had the weirdest texture and a very funky flavour. I tried both and wouldn’t have been able to eat them either. I had a chicken tikka masala and it was ok but not the greatest. All meals were very hot (not spicy hot) but the quality was not good at all.

Worst food I have ever eaten in my life! To be honest one look and I knew not to eat it! Husband ate some and agreed worst ever. We have eaten balti before and this was not balti. Food was luke warm, no nice smells of cooking from kitchen, in fact no smell of cooking in the restaurant at all. Got up from table went to till to pay and exited! Did tell the lady serving when paying how thoroughly disappointed we were… she didn’t seem surprised at all… needless to say no tip left (first time ever for us) Avoid at all costs 😤 This is an honest 100% review . P.s not to mention the spiders on the wall behind us!! Table next to kitchen. Restaurant needs a complete revamp and a proper chef

Came across this Indian and decided to give it a go while staying in brixham! Was not disappointed. Korma was lovely and ordered a Keema Naan which was also fab. Food was tasty and was told 15 mins but within 11 minutes a lovely lady bought it to our car for us!

Delivered our food 50 minutes late freezing cold, refused to refund us. Had to phone several times before finally speaking with the manager who argued with me and repeatedly spoke over me. Accepted it was late, acknowledged it was cold, and still refused to refund us. Outrageous behaviour, awful customer service, and food was pretty mediocre. Avoid.

Well , we last ate here 18 yrs ago and it was awful. However we had a very nice takeaway menu delivered ⁷through the door so we decided to give it another chance. We ordered a delivery which turned up on time but the food was almost inedible. All bright red, extremely salty and pickled chillies used( can you believe an Indian restaurant does nt use fresh chillies?.) We ate most of it as it had cost us a fortune but my wife soon regretted that as she became ill within 20 mins. She is a type 1 diabetic and I suspect the cause was the addition of large amounts of MSG flavouring. This was without doubt the worst indian meal ,I have ever eaten ,and take it from me I have eaten a lot! Avoid at all costs.

We had Chicken Tikka Masala Poppadoms chips and Nan-bread It was the worst Indian takeaway meal we have ever had . The popadoms where brown ( burnt ) the oil that was used must have been old and was rancid and left a terrible taste in your mouth , so we didn’t eat them , the Naan bread was old and dry so we didn’t eat it either and the Tikka sauce was so thick you could stand a spoon in it , awfully thick and only god knows with what it was thickened with as it was grainy !! Total waist of our hard earned money . very unsatisfactory . Just waiting to get a bad belly now and that would some it up.

Really disappointed as this used to be our favourite Indian. Waited 10 minutes for someone to appear at desk to seat us. Customer service was awful. Rice and curry missing and no sign of any staff for another 10 minutes to ask for it. Chicken was awful like rubber. Vegetable curry was a packet of frozen mixed bag in a bland curry sauce. No toilet paper in toilets. So disapointed as was our 1st night of holiday.

Well, after a local recommendation (on looking back they must of been drunk or delusional) we had 4 main dishes including 3 ‘chef’s specialties’ and can honestly say it was abysmal. All 4 mains tasted the same with notes of aniseed and in a blind taste test you would think you was eating the same dish. Best part of £60 down the pan. Lesson learnt, look at the reviews

Takeaway was awful. Even banished from my memory what I ordered but I know the chips (ordered after exhausting journey) were the most miserable, limp, tired-looking efforts I’ve ever had the misfortune to be presented with. Despite being famished, I could manage just two or three mouthfuls of a curry and a few chips before I gave up and tossed the lot in the bin. Can’t recall giving a restaurant a bad review but this was shocking and felt I needed to warn others.

Although we were visiting a fish town for 10 days, we are big fans of good Indian food. This restaurant is by far the worst of the restaurants in Brixham..we took a chance on 1 of only a few in the town, the couple before us who were seated.. got up and left halfway through their starters.. I ordered a king purée… it was dark red, my wife ordered a mixed kebab.. it was dark red, both of our mains were dark red.. to top it off…….. the food is way too salty, everything is dark read. This is by far the worst Indian restaurant I’ve ever come across. Brixham is a lovely town.. avoid this place if you like good food.

Empty restaurant at 2100 on a Monday night in July. This was the only place we could find to eat at this time and during the Covid saga! To be fair, Brixham needs to move with the times and serve families after 2100... it’s a summer seaside town... anyway, we got seated here well and although the restaurant lacks atmosphere and the pictures on the wall are pretty dark, the food was very nice. Lovely naan and the chicken Naga was spot on with madras like heat. Family of 5 dined for £85 and that included wine- a little high price but Brixham does seem expensive in general

We are staying just outside Brixham and the takeaway menu was in the cottage so we gave it a go. MISTAKE. we were charged £3.50 delivery though it should have been free as we spent £50 and there was no free bottle of house wine as advertised. To add insult to injury the delivery took ages as the driver 'couldn't find us' (hint - were were number 6 of a row of 10 cottages...). My meal was very little meat in a sauce that tasted vaguely of lemon washing up liquid. Onion bhaji was bland. Very poor.

I can't spend long enough typing to strongly urge anyone who ever reads this and vaguely considers going to The Balti Nights Indian restaurant in Brixham to not go. We waited for over an hour for our meal, a Saturday night take-away for a change. The food was unrecognisable as being the dishes they were meant to be. The promise of delicate spices and aromatic cuisine couldn't be further from the truth. The people running this restaurant should be ashamed of themselves. Having eaten at many fantasic Indian Restaurants on my travels, I was shocked just how bad this was. Imagine the worst slop you've ever had... got that pictuer in your mind? Now multiply it by ten and you'll be starting to get the picture. I visitred the bathroom just before we left, if I'd gone there first I wouldn't have ordered anything. This place claims on it's menu to have a 5 star health and hygiene rating, but it doesn't display it in the window - it prints it in the menu, that can't be true, right? I'll be ringing the Torbay Council on Monday to suggest they may want to pay a visit and check. Let's hope this place is closed down, and replaced with a the real deal, as we all deserve to have something decent for our hard earned cash, and this wasn't it.

We were a little concerned about coming here for a meal after reading some reports. But we needn't have been as the service and food were very good. When we went in we were given the choice of a couple of tables to sit at. We told the waiter my partner was gluten free and the manager came across and explained what they could have. The starter came well within 10 minutes of ordering and was very tasty. We were then asked if we would like a break before our main meal (we didn't) and the next course was served within minutes. The main course was very good too - plenty of succulent chicken in a creamy sauce, ample rice and a perfect nan bread.

You know sometimes you really fancy an Indian meal. Due to the great location of the Balti Night, 30 seconds walking distance from the Harbour corner you might spot the sign and think, you know what I fancy a XYZ today. From the outside, it looks tiny however once inside you realise the building is bigger but nonetheless its kind a of a dated and drab interior with artificial lighting only, tables are quite small and nothing to look at. Anyway, we are here for the food!! And the food, well we ordered two dishes both Chicken based. My dish was sort of water/sweetish and not so exciting to look at, but the main thing was very small amount of meat and that was also very firm, you know you have to cut really hard with the knife to slice it. Wife's dish tasted to me a lot better but again same issue of not tender chicken and small quantity. Funnily enough, if we mixed the two dishes together was a nicer combination. Anyway the guy explained the chicken is marinated and its just the way it is, so didn't really accept our critique. For nearly 30 quid, we expect a satisfying and enjoyable experience and its wasn't that. Pity as imagine they do a satisfying job they have a near monopoly in town and guaranteed repeat business from us, but I doubt we will go again.

I had a takeaway from here lastnight. I ordered two mains two different rices poppadoms and a raitha.When I phoned the order through the man on the phone was very polite and gave me 10% discomfort for paying cash also gave me 2 complementary cans of larger. I thought this was a lovely gesture. Our meal was delivered approximately 25 mins later which I though was pretty quick. That’s when things went rapidly down hill . The meal was cold the poppadoms were stale and the raitha looked and tasted awful. It was like cheap set natural yogurt with a bit of onion on the top. We put the food in the bin . I rang the restaurant and explained that the meal was cold the poppadoms stale and the raitha nothing that I would have expected. At no point did I ask for a refund however if I had been served this food in their restaurant I would have sent it back. The young man on the phone passed me over to his manager . I advised him that maybe There was a problem with the vessel in which they keep their food warm for home delivery. I was offered 10% discount next time I ordered a takeaway which came as a slight surprise because I had been given this just for placing an order . I explained this to the manager and advised I would not be using their establishment again for a takeaway.

Tried this small Indian Restaurant at the last minute one evening. The menu looked pretty standard but was priced competitively.

From the outside this place is deceptive as the restaurant isn't visible yet, it is the there, tardis like, behind the take away waiting area. The artwork on the walls is bizarre but don't let deter you. The menu includes all the expected standards and an interesting range of house specials. For those wanting a super jot yet flavourful departure from the standard choices, select the Naga. At the other of the scale, the non curry eating members of a group are catered for by the reasonable English menu.

My Brother & I went here, there is barely any other choice in Brixham. It has a 5 star hygiene rating according to the window sticker but the restaurant is extremely tired and the toilets were disgusting the food was bland although it was hot and the draught larger was terrible. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt a 5 star rating is justified. Unless you are completely trollied I wouldn't bother.

We were on a short break down in brixham and fancied a curry. There is a lack of curry restaurants in brixham so we had to go to this one . It all seems clean but when the food came out....

After seeing the 5star hygiene review my friend & I thought we would pop in for a meal. Decor very bland. No background music. Staff extremely informal, no uniform etc. Minimal drinks menu. Ordered poppadoms. Normal as poppadoms are. Ordered meal plus sides. No correspondence from waiter. Onion bhajis came as a starter instead of a side order & were dry disgusting & like onion road kill. The mains were worse. Chicken extremely dry even though it was in a very buttery sauce. Vegetable dansak had no lentil over cooked vegetables including frozen vegetables. It was not a dansak. It didn't even taste like a curry. 0% flavour. Disgusting. Staff very far & few between. 1st person who served us seemed ok but other staff were not at all accomodating. Being too polite we did mention our complaint to the 1st person but the manager just gave us the bill to pay. We did pay & leave as we are not confrontational people. Note.....the food is absolutely disgusting. The worst Indian meal we have ever had. I love Indian food & have never tasted anything so bad in all my life. AVOID COMPLETELY

This is the worst indian meal I've ever had and I have been to a few. I ordered the kashmiri chicken and an onion bhaji, the onion bhaji was really dry, the chicken was really dry and bland no flavour what so ever. The staff seemed to be avoiding us, didn't even asked if we enjoyed our dinner but probably knew we didn't as our plates weren't empty. Very disappointing ☹ I would rate this restaurant a 0.

Kat, the lady who served me was very efficient, checking my order with the kitchen as I have serious allergies. My vegetable Biryani was delicious and generous in size. Will definitely use again.

A curry wasnt our first choice when eating out in Brixham but on a wet cold night in April with few people about we found that a lot of places were closed or stopped serving food by 8.00pm but Balti Nights was open.

Quite friendly but the food is mediocre. I had Lamb Bombay with a vegetable side dish, both of which came in the same mushy, sweet sauce so both tasted exactly the same. The lamb was supposed to be medium hot but it had hardly any spice and had an unpleasant flavour. I've eaten better tasting curries out of a packet.

Appalling! This was our 4th meal from this place and we will never have another one from here. This is my second review as the last one I posted was reported by I presume this establishment. My girlfriend has become very ill. We know sickness...

Not the best for me. Definitely not fine dining. Floor could have done with a degrease, very off putting to hear squeak, squeak as we walked through the takeaway area to the restaurant. Husband said his curry was OK. Mine was disappointing. Good portion of chicken, but far too much half cooked onion, tomato and capsicum. I chose my dish carefully as I do not enjoy capsicum but there was huge chunks in the Bombay curry. Peshwari naan was very dry and flat. Felt as if it had been just reheated rather than freshly cooked. Staff were friendly.

Had a Curry Saturday night and hardly any meat in both dishes, especially one of the dishes only having 3 small pieces of meat. Disappointing to say the least with meat and taste was average. Hasn't improved over the years and allot better around Torbay.

Unexpected quality and value for money with really friendly service to boot. We over ordered thinking the portion sizes would be smaller for the pricing..... big mistake! Generous portions didn't need a side, and a starter to share (the whitebait) was ample. It was quite quiet, but I don't think that was what made the service good - I think the staff were happy in their job and it showed ?!? If I'm wrong they hid it well and either way a credit to the Boathouse!
