Balti Kitchen

Advantages: Fabulous night out, excellent food
Disadvantages: only a teeny tiny one - read and find out!!

...large menus and asked if we required more drinks, which we didn't. The menu was impressive, particularly the veggie section (yee-hah!). To be honest, this menu had one of the largest selections on a menu that I've seen for a long time.

And in this fast growing world of eating-out, there’s plenty of places to try – Italian, Greek, American – and the good old faithful balti house. Some of you may have read my (rather shorter) op on this subject a while ago, but I thought it was about time I did Balti King justice! This is the first of my series of ops on great places in Sheffield, having just come back from visiting them all! - Tummy… rumbling… must… eat The balti has been around for quite some time now, and really originated around the Midlands, based on some Indian starting points.
