It was a bit cold in the booth where we were seated by the window, my companion kept her coat on throughout the meal. There was a wall heater situated nearer the inside tables. We ordered poppadoms which came with some garnishes to start with and half way through we were asked for our menu choice, we didn't understand why they didn't want to let us finish the poppadoms first, maybe it was a time thing to get our food cooked. The main meals of mixed grill with a plain naan and a chicken korma dish with a garlic naan and salad were delicious and plentiful. This restaurant does not have a drinks licence so you can bring your own without any corkage charge which makes it inexpensive. Worth a visit to this establishment in Christchurch Road, Boscombe.
Go for the food!
Although the restaurant itself is getting tired & in need of a refresh, it is clean & inviting. But the food! It is delicately & authentically spiced. Most importantly there is no oily residue in any dish - not even the deep fried puri (super impressive chef!) and all the breads are light not doughy.
I wish you were nearer to me.
To put this in context - we work nearer Birmingham so itβs easier to get to a million local curry houses - none of which serve this quality food.
Enjoy this Bournemouth! And thank you Balti House
My son, daughter, and myself visited recently, and all we all had different meals. We were all delighted with the quality of the food, and the service was excellent .
I will certainly be visiting again and would recommend it to anyone .
This is one of those hidden gems, modest and as the best Balti houses are, placed in an area that doesn't necessarily float everyone's boat. This should not put anyone off though. The staff are brilliant, food was amazing. Yes it could do with a lick of paint, and equally they could raise their prices. That last point is an unusual thing to say. Affordability-wise this was amazing, I would expect to pay probably 20% more. Thanks for an amazing meal. P.s. they don't have a drink license, do bring a bottle - although the Mango Lassi was amazing.
Authentic Indian Cuisine though it states Fusion. Staff were polite and accomodative. Menu has plenty of choice. Prices are reasonable, can check from the attached Menu.
We had ordered Kebabs in the starter and Prawn Balti, Goan Lamb chops, Butter Garlic Naan & Keema Naan. Surprisingly they were not spicy as usual Indian food so kids could have it. Kebabs were amasing, must try starter. Not very happy with the Lamb chops as we struggled to cut the meat from the bones. Naans were soft & well cooked. Prawns were not very tasty so might be from frozen stock. We ended up ordering more as we were told the size of Naans was circa 6inch but they were more than 8 inch so be cautious.
Limited parking just 3 cars in front of the restaurant but worth going around on the backside residential area to find parking.
Great service and warm place delicious food ππ never disappointed will be back again specially
Thanks To Himel for outstanding & welcoming and friendly service
I recently attended this restaurant on my birthday with a few friends and had good experience with food and service. I would definitely come again and every plate, bowl and dish was polished off completely as the food was LUSH.
Don't let lookes desive your the food is amazing friendly staff good service,
Coming back next week
One of the best vegetable dansak and vegetable balti we've had in a very long time. Well worth a visit. Staff are lovely and friendly.
You do have to take your own alcohol, but that's not a big deal for such amazing food. πππππ
Had a lovely meal. Very friendly service.
Food was amazing.
Just a heads up Itβs a BYO Alcohol, as that caught me out, but there is an off-licence shop a few doors down. Definitely recommend.
Amazing food - try the chef's specials. Really enjoyed the Coco Chicken.
small, quaint resturant, fancy food, fresh produce, flavour was a let down though I've had better.
Visited this small restaurant today. Everything was wonderful. We even had some food with us home... π π
Amazing food, friendly staff.
Best Indian ever. Everything cooked fresh, served very hot and is so tasty. All staff are lovely and is reasonably priced too. can get busy on weekends to eat in so book if you can, also bring your own drink. 100% would recommend :)
Excellent food and very attentive service, have been here before many times and will return many more times!
Nice food, great atmosphere, could not understand why the waiter wanted to input the WiFi password himself. Other than that great little place. Have to bring your own alcohol (not a problem for me as I don't drink).
First visit this evening, so didn't know what to expect, other than visiting their website. Can honestly say it was one of the best meals we've had. Food was lovely, well presented and piping hot. Comfortable, clean and pleasant dining area and very polite and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend
