Order Balti takeaway online

Traditionally a Pakistani and Northern Indian cuisine, Balti dishes have become a staple in the UK since arriving in Birmingham in the 1950s. Using a thin, pressed steel wok known as a ‘balti bowl’, these dishes are distinct from the slow-cooked curries of other regions, and are beloved for their healthier, lighter, spicy flavour profile.

What is Balti?

Balti dishes have evolved over time and the Balti that we’re used to in the UK today is a cuisine that, while originally from Pakistan and Northern India, was developed and refined in Birmingham to be a fusion of Kashmiri dishes. Balti curries are fast-cooked over a high heat—stir fry style—and use vegetable oil instead of ghee, making them lighter and healthier than other curries.

Balti dishes traditionally use lamb or chicken, but these days just about any meat off the bone and any curry, such as tikka masala, Rogan Josh, and korma can be prepared Balti style.
