Delicious vegetable balti, chicken tandoori balti and sundries.
We ordered to collect later and service was friendly and efficient. Lots of places close early on Portland (chip shops at 8 on a Friday and Saturday!!!!!) This place knows how to run a business.

BALTI ISLAND💩💩💩
Well what can I say, ordered the set meal for two on their newest menu which states £24.00.
Was told it is now £30.40, OK there is a war going on and things are more expensive but when received there was less food, also was no salad, a few bits of meat,just potatoes, Saag Bhagi was just wrong and also asked for vindaloo hot for the curries and got mild plus it was cold, also there is no 10% deducted if I collect so might as well get it delivered even if you live 10 foot away.
Stay away and start cooking it yourself. 💩💩💩

Very good food, fast delivery and very accommodating to our requests. I would definitely recommend the madras and special biryani

I very rarely write a review, but this place is so bad I feel I need to forewarn people. I can only assume that the positive reviews are from extremely intoxicated customers or people who don’t know what a decent curry is. Firstly they were very expensive so you’d expect it to be decent quality - sadly we were wrong. Then there were no fresh herbs or spices (or vegetables, which were a definite requirement in 2 of them). It’s was just a very small smattering of chicken, floating around in a very thin sauce (in all 4 of our different dishes). 2 of them, which were supposed to be medium heat, were more like a phaal. All heat and no background flavours. If you’re visiting, do yourself a favour and give this place a miss.

Possibly the worst curry I have ever had the displeasure of eating. In fact, it was so bad I only had one mouthful. I ordered a chicken pathia, which tasted nothing like it should. No fresh herbs and spices and subtle sweetness you’d expect from this dish, just red hot heat. My husband said the same about his chicken madras. My son’s friend’s said his butter chicken tasted chalky and the chicken wasn’t nice and my son said his chicken tikka masala tasted awful. We’d been looking forward to these and none of us were able to eat them. We were all very disappointed
