The food was good, I came in for lunch, they had a buffet, and I also ordered coffee, I had to repeat my order to the waiter several times before he came back with a cup of coffee, which had either milk or half and half added, and I usually drink my coffee black. I don't think I'll return.

My wife and I have eaten here a number of times, and we frequent various other Indian restaurants as well - but we keep coming back here because the food is excellent. The Tandoori dishes are very tasty, they have a wide variety of really good Naan, good wine and beer choices and the food is obviously prepared quite well.... More

I was definitely not expecting much from Balti when we first decided to try it. At first, the restaurant seems like an unassuming Indian place in Regal Plaza, but my impressions definitely changed when I walked in! The restaurant looks quite nice on the inside, and the aroma was wonderful. The menu is typical of a family-owned Indian restaurant in... More

We have dined here 3 or 4 times and the food is consistently delicious. Lived in London for A few months and the curry here is as good as there. Have been disappointed with other Indian restaurants in the area and so pleased to find one so close to my home. The decor is nice. Restaurant very clean and service... More

Balti is a relatively new Indian restaurant that popped up in my area. I got coupons for buy one, get one free entree in the mail and decided to give it a try. Now I go at least every other week when I am in town. Excellent chai. Excellent korma (I like to order it in shrimp and staff has... More

This restaurant is located in a strip mall next to the Regal Countryside movie theatres on Route 7 across from Dulles Town Center. It is so nondescript that it took us a while to even realize it was there, even though we frequently see movies at Regal. In our experience, some of the best food we have ever eaten is... More

I have enjoyed takeout curry for years in the UK, and was pleased to see a quality Indian restaurant had opened in my neighborhood. Food is fresh and well prepared; you will not find the cuisine here greasy or lacking in any way. However I do think it is overpriced for the type of food and it's competition. It is... More

Lunch buffett is incredible in terms of quality and quantity of selection. I have been to dozens of India restaurants, including the highest ranked ones, and this one beats it hands down. Dinner is also excellent - just a bit more expensive. It does not look impressive on the outside, but it is really nice on the inside and the... More

SO took me here as he's been here before. I have never had Indian food before. This is a hole in the wall in a tiny strip mall. Don't let that dissuade you though! I wasn't real sure at first as it was a totally new and foreign taste experience but it truly grew on me and I really enjoyed... More

We watched this restaurant open about 5 mos ago. Located in a small strip mall among other strip mall areas, near Regal cinema. White table cloths, nice atmosphere, we were surprised. Started with a mixed platter - loved it! Def enough for 3-4 people. Entrees incl Baingan Bhartha-roasted ggplant and veggies. We asked for it spicy - terrific! Also shared... More
