About The Balti House

The Balti House is an Indian restaurant on Christchurch Road in Boscombe, Bournemouth. The kitchen has no drinks licence, so guests bring their own drinks and pay no corkage charge, which suits groups sharing a bottle with the meal. Poppadoms with garnishes arrive at the start, and the curry list includes balti alongside korma, madras, tikka masala and pathia. Naan comes in several kinds, from plain and garlic to butter garlic and keema.

Customer Review Summary

Naan is the most repeated draw, described as soft, well cooked and delicious, with garlic naan and keema naan named by one table. Close behind are the kebab starter, a mixed grill and a chicken korma, which reviewers call delicious and plentiful. Prices and value draw repeated praise, and one family notes the mild spicing suited their kids. The criticism centers on order accuracy and some dishes. One diner ordered a Chicken Tikka Madras and received a massala full of coconut, and the waiter argued the point. Another asked for no garlic or ginger garnish, yet both the biryani and the naga came full of it, and that reviewer describes a manager with a lot of attitude. Others found the Goan lamb chops hard to cut from the bone, the prawn balti not very tasty, and the naans larger than the size they were quoted. Several still praise friendly, welcoming service, and one birthday group says every plate, bowl and dish was polished off completely.
