The Balti House in Nottingham

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)

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 (& delicious). 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 spiced up how you want it. We'll definitely be back (to try Peru specials!!). Take away available too. Many thanks

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

2/9/2023 I've been planning to give this old favourite a visit for a while chicken pathia & rogan, food was excellent & good to catch up with Sam & Bash.

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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!

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.

Really great food, really enjoyed

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

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.

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...

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...

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. :)

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

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 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.

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!!! So tasty, and the loveliest, most accommodating host! Will definitely be back! Thank you 😁

We went specifically due to trip adviser reviews and wasn't disappointed. Sam the owner been there over 35 years was really engaging, the food was world class indian food and not with those awful food colourings (hate those) It was all natural herbs and spices....

Sam is an excellent host and the restaurant had a dedicated vegan menu! We would recommend it to any vegans visiting Nottingham.

Great value, lovely staff, brilliant balti

Great food at great value and Sam is a legend.

Great place, great food, great host in Sam highly recommend came on a random trip wasn't disappointed will be coming again

Sam was an absolute gem a absolute host. Food was amazing The best Indian I have had Highly recommended 😋😋😋😋😋😋

5 star 50 year old restaurant is cost effective. our main cost little over £7 starter around £3 excellent value, service and quality food. We saved 50% price for our big birthday party. We will be back soon.

I booked a table for 4 here when visiting for the weekend. We received a warm welcome when arriving and we were shown to our table quickly. We ordered poppadoms which were lovely & fresh. Our starters consisted of onion bhaji, a mixed platter and...

Excellent food, very friendly, will go again!

Visited this evening and what a superb meal we had. The food was excellent

Highly recommend this restaurant. We visited as a party of 13. Service was excellent. Food amazing. Very accommodating. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Ordered on Deliveroo, order wasn't accepted for 20 minutes, I rang the restaurant to see if they were accepting delivery orders to which I was informed to use a different delivery app for no reason, I explained that deliveroo is stating that the restaurant needs to accept the order, they answer below is what I was given: "Well why don't you get a taxi and I'll make up the order for you with a discount of £5 then that's equal isn't it?" Don't use a delivery app if you're not gonna accept orders on it.....

Amazing food and service.Thirteen of us on a office pre Christmas night out and we all had terrific food.

Excellent welcome and service as always - food was even better and will definitely be back soon - it’s been too long this time!

I came here with my friend (both students) and as we came in to the time we left we were treated with such kindness and care by the staff. Food was amazing and honestly could not be better. Will definitely be coming back again

rarely leave trip advisor reviews but me and a friend visited here and as soon as we walked in we were greeted with a smile from a very friendly gentleman and felt very welcomed. He chatted to us and was so kind. The food was...

Went here for the first time with the missus and all I can say is amazing service amazing staff and amazing food.will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to all curry lovers thanks again 😀 😊 ❤️

Life on the road takes me to a lot of places. Tonight’s is Nottingham and I was in the mood for a curry. I called the Balti house and they explained that they do not deliver. The man on the phone asked where I was staying and agreed that he would get my food to me. I ordered a lamb madras that was cooked just right, the lamb fell apart in your mouth and the spice an flavour we’re on point. The onion bhajis were to die for and the the naan was cooked to perfection. Only slight problem was that my garlic and cheese naan did not seem to contain either garlic or cheese but the food was so good it didn’t even matter! The delivery man was also very friendly and thanks to the balti house I have had a happy stay in Nottingham. If only all things in life were as easy and pleasing as the balti house. 😁

Balti outside sitting and a lovely curry can be best thing happen to anybody. Being Nottinghan Forest in the premiership I hope the players come here enjoy curry an outside sitting

Great honest curry house. Last visit 10 years ago. First visit 30 years ago. Dropped in for food tonight and great to be back.
