Where to eat Balti food in Bolton: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Discover Restaurants offering the best Balti food in Bolton, England, United Kingdom. Bolton (/ˈbɒltən/ ( listen) or locally [ˈbɜʏtn̩]) is a town in Greater Manchester in North West England. A former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish weavers settled in the area in the 14th century, introducing a wool and cotton-weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of the town largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. Bolton was a 19th-century boomtown, and at its zenith in 1929 its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dyeing works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of cotton spinning in the world. The British cotton industry declined sharply after the First World War, and by the 1980s cotton manufacture had virtually ceased in Bolton.

My partner organised a meal here (we live it anyway and visit regularly) for us and 15 friends and family members earlier in the month. We were offered the 'party menu' which had poppadoms, chutnies, any starter, any main meal and a side for £20pp which we took.My partner had messaged via Facebook to check whether the chefs could use some vegan chicken-style pieces in my curry which they did, and it was AMAZING!The food was all top quality, they threw in loads of extra poppadoms, sides etc and took really good care of us.Me and my partner have visited lots of times, including the event nights with Patelvis and NYE and have never had bad service or bad food. The staff cope really well under pressure and the chefs are amazing cooks and are well appreciated by the staff, often being dragged from the safety of their kitchens by waiting staff to be thanked by customers!The manager is really friendly and welcoming, the staff are the same and the decor is beautiful. Highly recommended, especially for vegans!! (photos of Karahi made with vegan chunks!)Hey Jade,We are so grateful for your kind words.

The starters were very nice, the main courses were nothing special, too many onions and peppers bulking out the dish, not enough meat and sauce. Dishes were tasty. Service was sluggish at best. It's just another indian restaurant

Visited for the first time on Friday 1/11 with 3 girlfriends. The staff here are very attentive. The food was nice all four of us having different meals. Itâs quite an upmarket restaurant with chandeliers and comfy couch seating area and very brightly lit, however really noisy as the acoustics lend themselves to enhancing everyoneâs conversations so quite hard to hear ourselves. Dear JanMEngland,First I would like to thank you for the visit and taking the time to share a review. We do take great care in providing the best food and service to our guests. We are glad to know that you and your girlfriends have enjoyed the meals and the attentive service we provided. However, we can see that you had difficulty hearing each other because of the noise created by the acoustics. We will be sure to forward this on to the management to fix the issue urgently.Hope on your next visit, we will meet your expectations fully.

I had intended visiting the Royal Balti for a long time. We visited yesterday and received a very warm and friendly welcome from everyone in the restaurant. After the popadumms and pickle tray (very tasty) we ordered 2 chicken tikka shashliks with mushroom rice and Jalfresi sauce. The portions were huge, very well cooked and presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasty meal which was finished off with fresh oranges and a small tipple. I took home a large "doggy bag" which has gone nowhere near my dogs. I've just finished the splendid food for my lunch today. Highly recommended. We'll be back. Dear geoffreym628We are very delighted that you dined with us and enjoyed your meal.
