We've tried various curries and sides from here, including the korma, butter chicken, rogan, jalfrazi, biryani, veggie curry, sag aloo, and a few different naans. No complaints about any of the flavours with these curries! Their peshwari naan is packed with coconut and sultanas and goes really well with the more mild curries. They usually give us extra papadoms when we order them too. For takeaway, I'd recommend booking online if you want to eat early as they are often very busy at opening. We will continuing being regulars here!

And old pub converted into this fabulous Indian restaurant and takeaway. A full car park which is always a good sign, diners packed into the dining room noshing away at bowls of golden curry, fluffy rice and fresh crisp naan breads. There where four of us and we had booked because quite honestly you have to. I'd be very surprised if you got a table if you'd just walked in off the street. Again another very good sign. We where greeted by a friendly member of staff and shown to our table. Drinks orders where taken and poppadoms brought to the table. The pickles that accompanied the poppadoms where delicious. Not too sure if they where made in house or not I'm guessing not, but either way they tasted good. We did have starters and with quite an extensive collection there is a lot to choose from. I had the king prawn butterfly. A deliciously perfectly cooked king prawn fried in golden breadcrumbs and served with a small side salad. For the curry then, I had a lamb rogan josh. Quite a mild dish with only a little spice added. To accompany that I had a keema rice and a couple of chapattis. The rice dish is enough for two to share as the curry itself is quite filling. But it was a lovely accompaniment. Not too overpowering with the spiced meat and not too overloaded with onion they got the balance just right. The rogan josh was delightful. It's the first time I've had it and I was impressed. Delicately flavoured and packed with tomato and onion. The sauce was really tasty there just wasn't enough of it to dip the bread in. The meat itself was nice a little tough for my liking but still very nice. The chapattis where beautifully cooked, fresh and hot strait out of the tandoor they where perfect. Not too small you think what's the point. And not too bit you think what am I going to do with this? The meal was finished off nicely with complimentary liquors. We decided not to go for dessert because we'd had such a good meal there was no more room. The service in this restaurant is very good. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They are only to happy to recommend a dish to you especially if you a first time curry eater. The restaurant itself is very contemporary, spacious and inviting. I'd highly recommend this place to any curry lover or someone who wants to go to a curry house for the first time. I shall definitely be going back in the not to distant future.

The Balti House is extremely popular, especially on the weekends, so if you are thinking of going the best advice as ever is to book in advance.

There were two waitresses that quickly brought over some water and took our orders. I ordered the chicken breast and my mum got the veggie pie. I contemplated ordering the potato skins but they had run out giving the last order to the table next to me. The food took quite a long wait before it came out but once we got it I will say that it was very good. Great taste and presented well. I heard them telling a neighboring table that they had run out of another dish, was only around 8pm and they are open quite late. Finished dinner and was ready to order an apple pie with custurd, but alas, they didnt have custard in stock either. So I said no dessert then. I sat at the table for about 15 minutes until asking if I had to go pay somewhere as the waitress hadnt brought the check. She said no she will bring it over. I see her roaming around for 10 more minutes and still no check. My cash was on the table the entire time. Finally the other waitress brought it over. Overall good food, if your not in a hurry then check it out. Reservations may be smart.

However during this visit I was not as impressed as I normally am. Although I enjoyed my food, it was not as good as I previously remembered. The starter was a little bit dry so I used some sauce from my curry. When the server came back I asked him is it possible to have some extra sauce please, and he just said "no!" Which I felt was quite rude. No conversation about it, just a plain no. I would have been very happy to have paid for said sauce, but was not even given the option! I felt quite off put. Because of this experience I have tried another establishment since, in Wells and preferred it, and I will now make that my go to for Indian food. Out of respect I am not going to say this establishment's name. Normally I would have given 5 stars for the Riverside as I have been here for years and never been disappointed, but One star was removed for the reasons given above. How ever, do come here, as they have been in business for years, and they also have their own private car park.
