Balti Hut in Middlesbrough

Used to be a cracking place but their prices have gotten eye-watering but the food quality has dropped to the point they have a 3 star food hygiene rating as of Jan 2022. Think twice.

I must say I'm a really fussy eater but believe me there food is beautiful. At first I was really unsure about trying somewhere new but I wouldn't go anywhere else now. Recommended by family

I have left a review on just eat, but I think google needs a wider audience, I have read through the reviews and would of taken my £30 somewhere else, now I wish i ordered from Akbar's.Both meals were bland, no taste, without being to detrimental to the chef who obviously needs to sort his pallet out , as i am not the greatest cook but I certainly know how to cook a korma from scratch, this tasted like a microwave reheat.The Tikka Gobi again had no taste and the chicken tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave. I cannot complain they did offer a refund after I called them, but just eat policy up to 14 days, we tried the food and sadly resulted in my bin after two mouthfuls, all we could taste was flour and high excess of it.If you pay £30 its worth travelling the petrol cost to Aneesa in Newcastle at least you will get hot curries and more variety of food for the money.When you order from a takeaway who charge these extortionist prices you do expect the food to be tip top, sadly Balti Hut has not got that reputation and looking at the reviews and prices they are charging I would say the good reviews are from family friends or staff.Review your prices, change the chef and start serving better food, get a chef who has passion and not stick everything in the microwave to cut corners as that is what it tasted like sadly.

Really annoyed tonight I've been using Balti Hut for around 10 years in the past was several times a week but since it was closed doen a few years ago for a few months different staff appear to have taken over so I use it less frequently, quality isn't as good beware of some of the reviews they are mainly by the same people (staff?). Ordered by phone tonight from the menu which is by the phone then drove the 5 miles to collect it. When I got there the guy said it was £26.80 which surprised me as the menu price was £22.20 the same as i had been charged last week when I had ordered in the shop- when i started to pick up the menu on the counter he said that all the prices had gone up and he had put it through the computer! I didn't order through the computer and he hadn't told me the price when i ordered. After a bit of discussion he offered a 10% discount to £24 and I was so hungry I paid but pointed out that they shouldn't have the wrong pricelists on the counter and it was a breach of trading standards. On return home I checked the website and it said all orders were receiving a 15% discount so he hadn't even given that. What made things worse was that my Lamb Madras tasted and appeared to be beef (a common comment if you look at previous reviews). Quality has been a bit variable for the last few years and linked to the attitude of the staff and the exorbitant prices there are alot better indian takeaways. Don't get me wrong I understand that prices have risen since lockdown but my order had already risen from just under £19 - it's the misleading and illegal advertising that I object to - I won't be back and would advice others to be careful in their dealings with these people.

Don’t often order Indians, but when we do always balti hut. Food is nice and the staff and delivery driver are always polite. Would definitely recommend.

Quite disappointed. Going by some reviews and the prices I was expecting good things, unfortunately this wasn't the case and I was left feeling let down. The chicken Tikka had little taste and the texture was like rubber. The veg rice lacked flavour.. I won't be going back. The 2 stars I have given is 1 for the guy on the telephone and 1 for the prompt delivery.

Not very good at all. I ordered my food at 8pm on Saturday and did not receive my order until 10:30pm. The food was that cold, I had to warm it up in the microwave. I was so hungry I was hoping it would be worth the wait but it was tasteless, not very nice at all, I had the chicken tikka masala special and there was nothing special about it.I will not be ordering from here again.

I used to order from here back in 2014 and have recently returned to the area. The food is as gorgeous as ever although the prices are a bit steeper their quality can't be faltered. Would recommend 100%!

Great, we have just had two brilliant meals, lamb balti and chicken balti, got to say absolutely fantastic food. We would recommend 100%.

Travel from Billingham at least once per week, best Indian we’ve ever had. We’ve had a lot. Give them a try.
