**This review is based on food only as takeaway is the only available option at this time with the pandemic**
Ordered the butter chicken (tasty), yellow lentils with spinach (very good), garlic naan (good) and saffron jeera rice. Dishes were all flavourful, good quality ingredients and reasonably priced. Complimentary pappadums were a nice touch. Would recommend if you’re looking for good Indian takeaway.
Beautiful food. Everything amazingly good and service great. Starters were both really large servings. We shared everything and only had 1 naan and 1 steamed rice between 2 and that was still more than we needed. In Entertainment Book so excellent value. Plenty of vegetarian options.

Entrée:
Paneer Tikka: Loved the paneer tikka but an odd number of pieces to serve
Aloo Tikki Chat: Average but overpriced
Chilli Chips: Right up our alley. Tasted really good
Mains:
Tarka Dhal: Our favourite curry served at this restaurant, one can never go wrong with this dish
Bindi Masala: Loved it! One of the best dishes served here
Baingan Bharta: Loved it!
Breads/ Rice:
Butter Naan: Loved it! One of the best Naans in Perth(B)
Steamed Basmati: Loved it! (M &B)
Pros:
- As it is an Indian restaurant, there are many vegetarian options to choose from.
- Some of the classic curries are made very well here like their Tarka Dhal, Baingan Bharta and Bhindi Masala and it is definitely one of the better restaurants we have been to.
Cons:
- It is in the city so parking is a problem. If you go here on weekdays you may not have as much trouble but, on the weekends, parking is a pain.
- The menu at the Indian restaurants gets boring as it is the same in every Indian restaurant so, there isn’t anything special served here that is not served elsewhere.
- The entrees are overpriced and the quantity is small.

My review comes in at a belated hour, however this place brings back some really good memories now that i think about it. Balti is a well known restaurant in Perth. Now i don't normally try a lot of Indian food outside India since it tends to be pretty bland but let me tell you that Indian food in Australia, atleast whatever I ate in Perth and Cairns was pretty much at par with what would you'd get here, back home in terms of the spices and flavors.
We started off with some apps being the Lahsooni Murg Tikka & Seekh Kebab coupled with Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naans for the mains and a few Cocktails. Attentive staff and service ensured that the food was served hot and on time. The flavors simply made me smile. From the marination of the tikkas to the spices in the curry, everything was spot on and so were the breads. Thankfully there were no compromises of any sort.
A tad on the pricier side perhaps, but then again eating out in Australia does tend to get kind of pricey (maybe i was sub-consciously doing the whole conversion thing).
All in all a wonderful place!
Dear Balti, I loved your paneer curry and butter naan and if you did have mango lassi I would have taken it and I liked your paneer tikka. I also love the place you chose it is beautiful than the places I go for dinner with my mum and dad I wish I could stay here and eat all the paneer curry, butter naan, paneer tikka and mango lassi.
Your Dear friend
Aavani(I am 8 years old)
I been to this place with my office collegues we had Prawns, Chicken, palak paneer.
Let me be honest the best palak paneer of my life i had has been at Balti
The place also server excellent roti naan and keema naan
I love the place, will always visit here when am in Perth
My wife and I decided to have an Indian Fix during our 4 day trip to Perth. After a bit of research we picked Balti.
We were not disappointed.
Fantastic onion bhaji and samosas starters followed by Red emporer steamed in banana leaf and lamb Rogan Josh.
We followed it up with a nice little ice cream.
All really nice fresh dishes and some welcome little differences from the norm.
Will definitely visit again next time we are in town
Had a very enjoyable meal at the Balti during a recent trip to Perth. It was quite busy and while my colleague and I were 'walk-ins', a table was quickly and efficiently found for us. The ambiance was good and the service impeccable. We'd been eating conference food all day so skipped entrees and just shared a couple of mains: the fish curry and the okra dish. They were both delicious - we thought the spice/chili levels just right. The place is a little more upmarket than your typical suburban Indian, so prices are perhaps a little dearer than usual but not by a significant amount. I would very happily return next time I'm in Perth.
We tend to avoid Indian food on holiday travel, except for the one off meal when we are extremely homesick (home-food sick, rather). did some research and realized there was this gem within walking distance from our airbnb. we had a lovely evening. excellent mutton and lovely chaat. even the curries were very rich. close to the best indian food i've had outside india. we loved it so much that we went back for lunch the next day! i saw that it was quite popular with the locals too.
Yes, the smiling faces who welcome followed by optimum spiced food. What a wonderful experience. Love it. Would really recommend to visit. Well done. My order was vegetarian, Dal Makhani and Paneer Masala, both items rocked.
One of the best Indian restaurants in Perth! My favourite is the chicken meal that comes with butter chicken and tandoori chicken - it's so flavourful and tender - it's a real delight to eat. My colleagues love the Balti Thali lunch special which has a little bit of evrything to try. I also occasionally get the lamb kathi roll which has a nice spice to it.
Stumbled over this restaurant whilst walking and taking in Perth cbd, loved it food was sensational really glad we came in, if you like Indian food your in for a treat good and varied menu, with a large drinks menu as well

Definately a must try....every one serving was very polite. Loved the tandoori tasting plate. Salmon was cooked perfectly. The fish fry was super. Butter chicken tasted yum. Not to forget the piatachio kulfi and super gajar ka halwa that was not too sweet. Amazing place...a bit dark though as i love bright dining area....overall...a must try....
Without a doubt, my favourite Indian restaurant in Perth currently. Sensational malai kofta and palak paneer. The koftas in particular were perfectly cooked. Beautifully balanced flavours. I have had the Dahl many times, and though always good it is inconsistent- sometimes fiery, sometimes mild. This time had the perfect amount of spice but more beans than lentils which detracted from the flavour. The service was friendly and efficient as always. Highly recommended.

Ventured here on a Saturday night My partner rated this place however I was sceptical but was I wrong. Service from the beginning was exceptional the older man who may have been the manager was passionate about the food and the restaurant and catered to our love of spices by offering to add extra chilli to milder dishes . We ordered a range of dishes all of which were fresh and tasty . For entree we had the Onion Bahji which was nicely spiced not our favourite of night as it was a little doughy in inside and the Samosa Chaat which was unexpectedly tasty and well presented the combinations of yoghurt and crunchy samosa was sensational. For main we ordered the Goat curry which was a welcome change from the usual lamb or beef and a must has dish the aroma of spices although not as hot as we expected but tender meat melted in your mouth. The Chicken saffron/almond usual a mild dish however the chef catered for our love of spice did we get spicy this dish was a party in your mouth and the chicken was extremely tender
and succulent. The Chilli Naan was the best I've had they didn't hold back on the spices which mixed with the curries was Devine. We finished with the carrot pudding and pistachio ice cream I personally didn't enjoy the ice cream however my partner enjoyed the flavour and creamy texture.Although a little costly for Indian you defiantly get what you pay for and we will be back this is our new favourite Indian in Perth.
I am well versed in Indian Cuisine. The owner has such pride in his food, it is outstanding. If you are looking for Westernized, dulled down Indian food, this isn't the place for you. The food is rich in flavour, spicy thrills of the palate! I have seen Celebrities dining in on occasion. It is one of the top Indian restaurants in Perth. The staff are attentive and it is reasonably priced.
Conveniently located at the heart of Perth CBD, Balti boasts of authentic North Indian cuisine at affordable prices. Make sure your ask for the spicy version if you are interested in real desi fare . Bollywood music being played in the background adds to the ambience. If you are looking to try out Indian dishes, the weekend lunch menu would be a good way to start.
Great place and great food. I will be back to try something new. I really wanted more drinks options, but I was fine with just water. Good staff as well!
Visited this restaurant just over a week ago (Friday night). Had the most amazing meal and best customer service. Staff were very friendly. We have tried many Indian restaurants in Perth and this is the best so far! The food was very flavoursome. There was a delay with one of our main dishes but was rectified within minutes of letting the waiter know. Staff were very attentive and as we were leaving they presented us with 2 free desserts to apologise for the slight delay! Will definitely be back for sure 😃
We came here for a late night curry after the cricket
The host was great. He new his stuff about curry. He was engaging
The currys although a little hot was really tasty.
I will go back
Consistently fantastic Indian food. Had tandoori chicken recently, made to perfection, best tandoori in Perth, appropriately spicy and the mint chutney tasted homemade and was actually spicy, not creamy like so many places in Perth! I was instantly transported to India, tandoori would stand up well to many tandoori restaurants in India. Chicken chettinad also great.
Decent Indian food option in Perth Cbt... Malai kofta and okra was tasty and fresh... Paneer apetizer was hard and not catering to my taste buds... Onion bhaji were more like huge onion balls but very dry.. Again average... Courteous staff .. nice ambience ..
Last minute decision before a concert. Awesome service with time restraint in mind. Lovely food and friendly staff. A good range of dishes. Spicy means spicy and thats a good thing
I would have liked to see a wider range of milder dishes, but the service was good & my spice-living friends enjoyed the hotter dishes. I liked the decor, too
Tasty food, good service, authentic modern Indian restaurant, clean, what more could you want. With only the location preventing me from coming back, enjoyed a selection of tasty mains, my usual garlic naan and a mango lassi. Not the best mango lassi I've had but not the worst.
Goat curry was really nice.
Good Indian food. Balti is well priced and the food is good. I will return for takeaway purposes.
Great meals twice while I was there . Definetly would go back. These guys are the real deal, I had lamb and spinach and aloo chat in one sitting and then palak paneer and onion bhuajas another. They were beautiful.. The Lassi were to die for , lovely and thick and silky. Reminded me of home cooked stuff. Service was prompt and friendly I came with friends and as a lone diner and they were very attentive and chatty both times. Do try these guys out. They are well located across from the Duxton , if you want an authentic experience come to Balti.
We were staying the city and though we would give Balti a go. We booked and when we arrived the place was packed. We could see people were annoyed with the service. I recorded the time of everything that happened in anticipation of writing a painful review, but to my surprise the experience was excellent. Our orders and meals arrived in good order (15 minutes from order). The food was as expected. Tasty, fragrant and general what we expected. As it transpired, Balti was flooded by walking-ins wanting a meal right before an event at the concert hall, so perhaps a flood of people is not a good thing for them. We were the only booking they had.
Enjoyable Indian meal with attentive service.
The entree specials were delicious. We had some different Indian food and the usual favorites.
Desserts were very sweet - even more so than usual Indian dessert.
Food was excellent both myself and my wife loved our food. Portions are good and prices are average.
Service needs some improvement but still definitely recommended.
Finally! We've been waiting so long for this. Having found this place by accident (was looking for City Spices which was closed and this was nearby), I couldn't be more happy. As a pom, and from close to Birmingham, the supposed fabled home of the Balti, it's name boded well for the sort of Indian I knew and loved and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful puffy poppadoms with lots of dip and chutney and the onion bhajis and potato cakes were beautiful, served with more delicious dip. The tikka and butter chicken were sooo good and the butter naan was even better. I was so impressed and delighted that I brought my husband back later the same week. I went butter chicken this time and my husband had the lamb rogan josh which he said was "melt in the mouth delicious with lots of favour and beautifully cooked". We are both eager to return especially as they are so generous with their mango chutney, not the usual thimble full that you tend to get served elsewhere in Perth.
Just loved the Tandoori chicken..very authentic taste.
Biriyani was bit spicy but nice.
Wouldn't recommend the red onion drizzled with chilly powder served a side for spicy biriyani.Didn't like their Kashmiri naan which was very sweet almost tasted like halwa paratha. Overall good.
Found My Favourite Indian Restaurant. I was recommended this place by my friend, went there with my partner, had a great evening, Nice ambience, Food was absolutely divine. Must try their prawn cutlets and lamb with spinach yummm.
Not to forget the service was great.
I was there withr freinds for my birthday had amazing time from delicious mouth watering entres to the best
Butter chicken I ever had ,the service was great and the desserts were to die for must give it a go for your next
Indian dine out
Simply the best. Balti is one of my favourite restaurants in Perth and the food and service never fail to please.
I have been to Balti many times now and had the opportunity to dine there once again last night. As always it was an enjoyable experience. I love the ambiance of the place and the decor. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious and came out quickly even though they were busy. I always receive service with a smile and the waitstaff in particular the manager are very attentive and friendly, not to mention knowledgeable about the dishes.
I can't fault Balti in anyway and am yet to find another Indian restaurant in Perth of the same standard. Whenever I have a craving for Indian, it is my number one choice.
Wonderful!. This is a great place to dine. My partner and I were served by a lovely waitress and although it was a little expensive (what do you expect in Perth?) we really enjoyed our meals and will certainly return. Thank you Balti! xx.
Love the food.. Service was great... But be specific about what you want.. How spicy you want it... No one person is a mind reader.. :)

Elegant and tasty. We went to Balti on a Friday night. It was my boyfriend's birthday and he was wearing a "Birthday Boy" badge (that I had given him as a joke, but not expected him to wear out ;-). We were immediately given a table (and the waitress wished my boyfriend a happy birthday :). We ordered two watermelon mojitos and asked for them to be brought out before dinner was served. This did not happen; instead our food was brought out and we had to ask what happened with our drinks. The waitress went to find out and came back to tell us that they were out of watermelon and asked if we wanted regular mojitos instead. We declined and ordered two beers (that would go better with the food; unlike the mojitos that would have been nice on their own). The waitress apologized and told us the beers were complimentary.
My boyfriend ordered the chicken vindaloo and because I wasn't very hungry I ordered the potato cakes (after asking the waitress to recommend one of the starters). He likes spicy food and often finds vindaloos not to be spicy enough. This one was very spicy, but got the thumbs up as one of the best ones he has had. The potato cakes were fine, but probably not something I would have ordered myself (but my fault for agreeing and not ordering something else).
We were asked if we wanted deserts, but said no and were finishing our drinks when they brought over deserts for us (my boyfriend’s one with a candle :).
This is a nice place and unlike most other Indian restaurants it feels elegant. The food was very good, the service a little bit messy, but they certainly went out of their way to compensate for the mistake with the drinks. When we paid the manager apologized again for the misunderstanding with the drinks and was very friendly .
Food was sensational! Definitely be back next time in Perth.
Winner. After being being highly regarded by nearly everyone I spoke to... I don't know what all of these people below are on about, I went there earlier this week as a group of 5, not only was the food amazing, but the it all came out quicker than I could eat what was on my plate, and it seemed like the place was booked out!
Lovely staff, very attentive!
I plan to go back very soon definately a winner.
I had the Fish Masala, Aloo Paratha, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi, only one word can describe it all- Beutiful! Great service, ambience, and all very reasonably priced.
Lovely evening. Yummy lamb skewers it had some great balance of flavors, nicely presented. The lamb rogan josh is one of the best i ever had, meat was tender sauce was just enough with beautifully cooked roti! We had great service... Being in the industry myself and being very choosy and particular as to where I dine I am please that Balti met my expectations.
Recently i blessed this place with my presence, along with my dardy lil lady. It was buzzing with peeps and the things were happenin, i would imagine a bit like india. We started with a double starters plate, decent size and different flavours. More hit than miss. We played it safe with the lamb rogan josh and the butter chicken which were delightful. The balti (buckets in hindi) were charming - im not indian i just read a review while i was waiting. I thought the staff were kind even the manager. One thing was the glasses were quite dirty.. I still drank from it though. 3 smiles out of 5 smiles. YoUr tHOugHts marGareT?
Awesome Food- very friendly staff. I went there this sunday with my family.. ordered a few dishes, butter chicken, fish curry, biryani and few naans . it was lovely.. to be honest at first i was very apprehensive, since its bit on the high side in regards to the price but after eating the food, i found it worth it. Apparently i was told by my collegues, there has been a change of management over the past few months, and surely it shows. great new staffs and a very friendly and caring manager on the counter! love his attitude and funny remarks.
would be coming back again for sure (4 out of 5)
Enjoyed the vege Thali for a quick lunch, would go there again. Why don't Indian restaurants make their own Gulub Jamuns? The tinned ones are never as good as home made
Impressive!. Thouroughly enjoyed. service was sharp and the place had a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent! A bit pricey but overall we enjoyed it alot! Keep up the good work!
Liked it!. I stumbled across Balti on a Monday evening in the Perth CBD - there wasnt much else to choose from apart from a convenience store so in I went hoping for the best.
Balti was a pleasant surprise - good service, good food and reasonably priced. I enjoyed the chicken tikka and the rogan josh and their kashmiri naan is great. For the lucky locals, they even deliver!
Great atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food. Not the cheapest- but worth every cent.
Outstanding. Great service, Great food, not too pricey. I can recommend the lamb kebab entree and the chicken vindaloo. Unfortunately I can't recommend the Keema Nan - but that's only because Mrs SpoonZ troughed the lot before I managed to get a piece. :). Highly recommended we shall be back.
Loved the chicken Vindaloo, raised a little bead on the forehead but what an awesome Dish. Garlic Naan, and rice on the side made the perfect accompaniment. Well worth the visit when you are in perth....
Something different - worth a try.... I love this place. We came here firstly just after it had opened and the service wasn't quite organised. But the food was something special. Can recommend one of the specialties of the house ... the Goat Biryani (Goat and Spicy rice). Reasonable prices... an excellent option for the east end of the CBD.
Went there with a large group from work for a farewell lunch. It was quite good, the food was really high quality and oddly served in buckets. They had a few operational problems getting food out to all 40 of us but that is to be expected in a big group
One of the better Indian restaurants I have been to since coming to Perth. Very authentic dishes and cooked to perfection, took me back to my college days in Delhi. Will definitely be back and try other dishes. Good ambiance and friendly service kept topping up the water glasses too during our meal which is rare these days.
This restaurant is the real deal! We ordered both meat and vegetarian dishes with a variety of sides and I can honestly say it is one of the best Indian meals I have ever had. The naan breads are a must!! Thanks for the best experience!! We will definitely be coming back to this restaurant and will be spreading the word!!
Neat Indian restaurant. I was happy with their customer service. Food could have been a bit more spicier but tasted good overall. Food was delivered promptly and a good ambience overall.
Was looking for an authentic and highly rated indian restaurant to have my cravings for indian cuisine fixed and i chanced upon Balti on Google. Decided to come here based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! Their food is so flavourful, service staff was great, and the portions were generous. The garlic naan that we had was so fluffy even when its cold, appreciate that it was savoury instead of tasting bland with a hint of garlic. I look forward to coming back here again the next time I visit Perth :)
Along with Mothers day we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary on 8th of May at Balti Indian Restaurant where we along with family and friends loved yummy food and were so impressed with their great customer Service and Hospitality. Love their, Aloo Tikki, Malaikofta, FigAlmond Kulfi.
Thank you Balti Indian Restaurant and all their Staff.
Best North Indian restaurant in Perth . Excellent location, if you're driving parking is a bit of a problem but after 6pm there's plenty of free street parking. We had the butter chicken, lamb korma, Mutton Biryani , garlic cheese naan and 3 indian sweets , butter chicken was rich cream and the grave was mouth watering , I'm still drulling
The most amazing restaurant ever visited and the most respectful owner of an Indian business ever met in Australia. Been to three different states and cities in Australia, this one was really special. For last few days we were missing our home and food a lot, but after visiting this place, we feel like we had a short trip to India! Food is awesome, owner is super respectful and sets up the bar high for other Indian restaurants in Perth. He gave us the perfect combo of Indian food and lovely warm reception, which lacks in other Indian restaurants and businesses! Being natural, true and not faking things (like other hospitality businesses) is probably getting him all the customers! All the best!
Dined at Balti tonight with some friends.
Amazing authentic Indian food. The Samosa Chaat was delicious and the Balti special Paneer curry was to die for… unanimously it was the highlight of the meal. The service was good even though the restaurant was packed on a Tuesday night.
We will be surely coming back.
Visited Balti again tonight with family for another absolutely fantastic meal.
