This is the best Indian buffet I've ever had by a long shot. It's 9£ Mon-Fri 5p-630p which was…read moreperfect timing after just after having a delicious Six Degrees North Hop Classic at Duke's Corner one block away, on a random stroll during a one-afternoon visit to Dundee. Indian buffets have tended toward trays of food that sits out too long so things dry out, and the curries tend toward simple, monochrome flavors. Here the curries were complex and flavorful, the tandoori chicken was tender and succulent (not taut and dry as it can be), and the selection of foods, while not huge, was diverse (but most important) richly flavorful and well-maintained. If no-one was partaking at the time, the staff would rush over and put lids on the trays to preserve moisture, heat, and aroma. As soon as someone approached an area they would rush to remove the lids. At the table, when done with a plate, staff would whisk it away immediately. Great flavor, quality, service and attention to detail for a buffet, in a very pretty setting to boot. And just incredible value.

Have tried to persevere with this place but I dont think I'll go back. Basically the food is…read morestandard when you sit in and less than satisfactory when you takeaway, in my opinion. I have also encountered some serious bad form when having a meal with my partner. Basically, we had poppadoms, chutney, a starter each, shared a curry, had a rice each, a naan, some chips, had a dessert each and had about 3 beers each. Now already this would have came to an average of hmmm 50 odd quid, pretty good for a meal for 2. When we went to pay however, we were charged about £70. They had added an extra curry on the bill. Their reasoning was we both need to order a main dish. Fair enough usually...but noone had pointed to the tiny print on the back nor had it came up when we were ordering. Very very sneaky. Had we known, we would have skipped starters and dessert as we'd have been too full and they'd have ended up getting less than 40quid from us. It still saddens me to think that restaurants use such underhanded tactics to obtain extra cash from customers. The rule should have been pointed out. Very bad form.

This takeaway must be the worst in Dundee so I defiantly do not recommend them.

There are quite a few curry houses higher on my list to visit than the Balaka…read more Basically I went with my partner on New Years Day, you know what its like, hungover to hell and needing some good food to fill your tummy, its the back of 7, nowheres open and youve nothing in to cook! So off you go in search of somewhere decent. We didnt quite find that quality here and to be fair it could have possibly been the fact that it was NYD that went against this place, maybe they were all pissed off to be working and hadnt been to the shops for fresh ingredients for a while. Anyhoo, I had a curry dish and my partner had a biriyani. We also ordered chips to soak up excess booze and were actually scrutinized by the next table, but whatever its nothing to do with the restaurant. I found my food to be...not quite to my palate. As did my partner. The staff, while nice enough, tended to watch your every move which was kind of awkward and off putting.It was also quite pricey for the quality of food we recieved. All in all, this wasnt the best start to our New Year! :(

The Balaka will never win any prizes for decor. (it doesn't have any) but the food is unbeleivable…read more The location is also ideal as it is within spitting distance of some of the best pubs in Dundee. Go in on a Friday or Saturday and you will see the same faces time and time again. This is always a good sign that the quality of food is of the highest standard. It's always best to book rather than just turn up as it is quite small and normally very busy.

Pretty good Indian food from this takeaway. My sister-in-law and I shared a meal for 2 for £14.95…read more It was massive, I would (almost) guarantee you'd have leftovers! We got 2 chapati, 2 dips, 7 veggie pakoras, a big naan (actually our peshawari naan upgrade was £1 extra now I'm thinking about it), lamb dupiaza, chicken punjabi masala and 2 pilau rice. That's a lot of food. We kept having to rearrange stuff on the coffee table to fit it all in. It was pretty tasty too! There's upgrades for different options and other set menus that are a pound or 2 more expensive. They also do kebabs, burgers, etc for people like my brother that aren't good with dairy. They have their own online ordering menu on their site. This is really easy to use and you're not obliged to sign up, unlike some online ordering places! There's a 10% discount for online ordering. Although the delivery guy seemed to have forgotten this? Delivery time was about 45 minutes, so about standard. I got 2 more meals out of it the next day.

I had a lazy evening on Friday... And Sunday…read more.. Got home both nights and just couldn't bring myself to cook or even prepare anything for dinner, so hit up Curryummy. I've not purchased anything from this restaurant in a while, as I do like to try new places with regards to takeaway, but fancied something I could graze on rather than a heavy meal. I purchased the 'Munchy Box' at £9, as well as a can of Irn-Bru. Fizzy juice always tastes good with takeaway, water just doesn't cut it. This box was jam-packed with the following: - Vegetable and Chicken Pakora - Pitta Bread - Kebab Meat (Donner) - Chicken Breast/Wings (Tandoori Marinade) - Chips - Salad (Which was surprisingly fresh) - Chilli Sauce Now I would only really eat the pakora, chicken breast and chips out of this selection, but I did try a little piece of everything and it was pretty awesome! I wasn't expecting the quality to be quite so high, but the standard of the product was excellent. The pakora were crisp on the outside, but not overcooked - the inside cooked well. Pitta bread wasn't stale - always a good start! Chicken breast/wings were delicious - the chicken was perfectly cooked with a good flavour from the marinade (I didn't try the wings as bone-in meat products freak me out). I did share the box with 3 other people, and there was plenty to go around. Definitely worth the money considering it fed 4 people!

Not the kind of attitude I'd have expected from a hospitality/service provider.
