Quick info
About Balti Stan
Balti Stan is an Indian restaurant on Whalley Rd in Accrington, serving curry classics alongside less common dishes from the same kitchen. On Sundays, a buffet is laid out with vegetarian and meat sections clearly labelled, letting diners build a plate without ordering from the menu. The rest of the week runs on a standard sit-down basis. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. This suits diners who decide to eat there on the spot rather than plan ahead. Whether guests come for the Sunday spread or the regular menu, the format stays the same, straightforward seating and direct service from the counter and floor staff, with the buffet as the clearest departure from the usual à la carte routine offered on other days.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the buffet and the balti, with one diner calling it the best balti his partner had ever had and others describing an old school Indian restaurant with food that was "phenomenal". A group of eight who ate there, seven on the buffet and one on a set meal, found it did not disappoint, and another party praised the buffet for being clearly labelled with plenty of vegetarian and meat options. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, with one visitor saying they went over and above while handling a complaining customer nearby. Others mention a calm atmosphere and no delays with orders. The two negative reviews are sharp. One reports a chicken tikka masala that tasted like a red coloured korma, pakoras swimming in oil, tiny samosas, a dry biryani, a garlic naan with only garlic flavoured butter brushed on and a "stuffed" paratha with no filling. The other found the takeaway bland, with chops that tasted only of colouring and a curry swimming in oil.

“Visited here on a weekend away, recommended by a family member. Was not disappointed! Food was delicious, partner said it was the best balti he'd ever had and he's hard to please! Service was excellent, very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely visit when we're in the area again. Highly recommend 👌”
