Balti Trail

Advantages: Good price, good quality
Disadvantages: None

...The Balti International restaurant on Bristol Road has always a favourite haunt of many a Birmingham University, and recently they started a buffet menu at £6.95 My original thought was of horror as I had seen a number of buffet and "all you can eat" Balti houses already and had visions of a little chunk of meat floating around in a vast pot of sauce! However, at £6.95 I was nothing less than satisfied, if not more than satisfied. An excellent meal and excellent value at the price. Highly, highly recommended.... Read review

Advantages: Food is great, brilliant service
Disadvantages: None

...Food is great. Obvious statement number 1. Eating out is better. Obvious statement number 2. So what better than to combine your two favourite activities into one, easy to swallow (sorry) and fun way to spend your spare time.

Balti King opened in 1984... Read review

A welcoming atmosphere awaits you as soon as you step through the door, and you can smell those exotic smells of fresh spices straight away. You are led to your table shortly, and sat down, sometimes with some free house wine. The selection of dishes available is nothing short of impressive, and all at affordable prices, although you'll probably only manage a starter and main meal! (however tempting the dessert menu might be) The food is cooked beautifully, as you would expect from a quality Indian restaurant, and the meat in the meat dishes is tender and tasty. In fact, all the food is cooked to perfection, and I have never had any cause to complain. You are also well attended by the waiters, who make sure you are enjoying your meal at regular intervals.
