The Steak Out in Bolton

I've been coming here ever since my mate recommended Balti Taste and the food is always piping hot, delicious and moreish. Their chicken madras is delicious, just how I like a madras, and all their other meals are delicious also. Highly recommended! Keep it up guys!

Best curry place never had a bad one

Great chicken dishes good range of sauces. Quick service.

Came here for an evening drink and a bit of atmosphere, but 45 minutes before closing, the staff went full “pub apocalypse mode” – music, TV's and lights off everywhere except a dramatic spotlight by the bar. I half expected a pub-themed episode of Survivor to start. We asked (very politely, may I add) if they could pop the music back on while we finished the pints we just bought – but no joy. The response was a firm “nah”, with the unspoken subtext of “we’re done here, mate.” One senior staff member explained, with great mystery, that they “have a business to run” – which apparently means switching off vibes well before closing time. Perhaps they’re saving on electricity to fund the sequel: The Silence of the Ales. It’s a shame – we really wanted to like this place. But if you enjoy sipping beer in awkward silence under interrogation lighting while the staff telepathically urge you to leave, this is the spot for you. We’ll stick to the other bars from now on – you know, the ones that actually like having customers. Cheers! (But quietly. With the lights off.)

Too crowded. Slow service. Poor parking
