About Castle Balti
On St Johns in Warwick, Castle Balti serves Bangladeshi and Indian dishes on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. It operates as a BYOB restaurant, so diners bring their own alcohol rather than order from a bar. Starters and poppadoms arrive in large portions, and the garlic naan is sized generously as well. Spice levels can run on the higher end for those who prefer heat. Tables come with a bottle of cold tap water, and a seating area is available for anyone waiting on a table or collecting a takeaway order. Parking near the restaurant is limited, so those driving should plan accordingly.

Customer Review Summary
Portion size is the detail reviewers return to most, with the garlic naan described as huge and the starters so large that diners had to take much of their main course home. Close behind is the BYOB setup, since alcohol isn't served but reviewers note they can bring their own drinks, and several praise fast, friendly service along with a loyal long-standing customer base. Spice level draws mixed comment: one reviewer found the dishes well balanced despite being on the higher end, while another asked for a curry to be made mild and instead found it the hottest and oiliest of the table. A couple of visits note rough edges, including problematic parking, a curt server on one occasion, and a cracked, hissing sound system. One reviewer calls out the Baigan Sabji and Biryani as too oily and bland. One reviewer separately reports stomach trouble on three occasions after eating there and raises concerns about hygiene, though most describe the food as fresh, tasty, and generously portioned.

“I’ve ordered twice now from here, as my dad said it’s his fave and I trust his opinion highly. Definitely wasn’t disappointed. Delicious fresh, authentic Indian food with great portions and presentation. A lot of curries I’ve had lack texture and meat however these ones are packed with meat, flavour and herbs. Recommend!”
