Booked a week in advance for Tuesday 20th Aug at 7.30pm.
Arrived and only two tables occupied, though it was mid-week. Friendly welcome.
Ordered drinks and food (starter and main) from a good selection. A family of four and another couple arrived whilst we waited for our food to arrive.
Food arrived after 10-15 mins and it was presented well - Fish Baja was like a fish steak (sliced) and quite a strong-tasting fish, so not cod or haddock. Lovely herbs and spices though.
Main courses were excellent and well presented. Served hot on plates.
Good Indian music played in the background.
Bill was a very respectable £60 including two drinks each.
Recommended.

Me and my wife visited Stratford upon Avon, we stayed over at The Double Tree Hilton Hotel for few nights first time visiting the place of Shakespeare, so they recommended this place to eat. To be honest it's one of the best restuarant in Stratford upon Avon staff are friendly and food is quality reasonable prices for a curry.
Balti kitchen has become me and my wife's favourite restuarant in Stratford thanks Double tree hilton recommending this place. 👍

Friendly, welcoming staff, I ordered the honey, lamb and mint dish which was a specialty and was recommended to myself. It was delicious and I thoroughly recommend the dish, it’s not sweet but incredibly aromatic and tasty with mango & potatoes added in to soak up the flavour! Will definitely visit again to try other dishes when next in Stratford Upon Avon. Highly recommend 👍🏻

We have been using Balti Kitchen delivery service for 15 years. The food is fabulous - but tonight it took 2.50 hours to be delivered after ordering it at 6.34 (with a 100 minute delivery time) it was 9.22 by the time we got it. Just a head’s up really that when it’s very busy on a Saturday night to make sure you order early enough.

This eating experience was one of the strangest I've ever had. We arrived and was shown to a table. We were put 1 meter away from a dishwasher, a multitude of dirty plates. Empty chutney trays, buckets of cutlery in water and chipboard just propped up against the wall. We ordered food, the staff were polite. Our starter came, the waiter then proceeded to get a used mince sauce and give it to us. The main meal came and it was bland. As were eating a man a metre away started emptying a dishwasher and draining water into a bucket from the plates. As the meal progressed the waiter then started putting empty chutney trays on our table. It was very off putting. The whole place felt grubby and greasy. I would recommend avoiding.

Food was fairly average as two of the dishes we ordered were probably made with meat from the tandoor oven with a different sauce. We found the meat to be a bit on the dry side. We also found the service to be a rush as the staff asked us if we were ready to order barely 5 minutes after we sat down. He did this at least twice and the restaurant was not even 60% full!!!

Food served on a cold plate for a start. Ordered a mixed dish of prawns,chicken and lamb. Only ONE prawn and lamb inedible. When I complained was told that dish did only include ONE prawn and that tikka lamb is chewy! I could not even cut the lamb and definitely couldn’t eat! Also while there a customer came to collect food and complained that the last meal he ordered to be delivered waited 1 1/2 hours. The excuse given was road works! Won’t be going there again!

It is with regret that I post this review because as a relative local this is my go to Indian and has been for years but because they priorities online orders people
were walking out because of the lack of food after 1 + hrs of waiting for there orders which is totally unacceptable we did persevere and to be honest it was fantastic and still think its the best tasting Indian food in the area but will I return ? probably cus I'm not in any rush to get my nosh but if you are go elsewhere and always wonder what you might be missing.

Back in Stratford for the first time for over 2 years and very pleased to see my old friends at the BK. Food was as ever prepared and served to the highest standard, though like so many places they are experiencing some staff shortages, impacting mostly I believe on their delivery service. Otherwise impeccable and excellent value.

This was a fabulous and authentic balti kichen indian experience. The flavor profile of my tikka masala dish was brilliant. I'm starting to realize that almost every Indian restaurant I frequent in the UK is going to be stellar. Very reasonable prices, and authentic Balti Kichen Indian cuisine expertly and lovingly prepared. You won't be disappointed. Five stars

Four nights in town and two excellent curries. Sidcup minor in tow this time; he is very much a curry beginner and was extremely happy with Atul’s recommendation. That man is a kind of curry sommelier, always happy to share his wisdom and expertise. What he don’t know about Britain’s great national dish ain’t worth knowing.
Thanks to all the boys for a warm welcome and two excellent evenings.

We have just eaten at the Balti kitchen and what a great restaurant! Service was excellent, Tariq and the team were super helpful. We had the chicken Balti and Chicken chili Mossalla both beautiful dishes. We are staying at the Hilton so it is right on our doorstep. Even if you are not quite as close this is well worth a visit, we were there at 6:30 and the place was quite busy and had a really good atmosphere. If you are in Stratford and are looking for a brilliant authentic Indian meal then Balti kitchen will not disappoint. Very reasonably priced as well.

This time I didn't visit in person, but ordered a takeaway. Chicken tikka balti, with aam chicken starter. So so good. The balti main course was delicious, and rich. So many Indian restaurant curries are swimming in oil - not this one. Lovely texture and flavour.

Came by on a weekend trip to Stratford and was not disappointed. Fantastic quality food - my partner and I had a range of dishes including vegetarian options. All dishes were flavorful, hot and served with a friendly host. In short we definitely come back next time we’re in Stratford.

After not visting for 4 years due to relocation did not expect things to be as they were previously .how wrong we were the restaurant just never fails to impress. Food service atmosphere as always the best u can find and was no suprise to hear of other diners travelling miles to visit...if u live or vist Stratford on Avon has to be on ur must do list .Balti Kitchen is one of those restaurants if u visit once the quality of food and great service will make u want to return. We certainly will as TBH not had a better indian meal in Uk as yet..Thanku so much for a great night !!!!
