Hilal Balti House - Sefton

Romantic Evening Meal. We are a regular visitor to this excellent Indian Restaurant whereupon you often find large family’s also enjoying a meal. The Balti House has been operating 25 yrs and is still as popular as ever. It provides excellent Indian meals at reasonable prices. Alcoholic drinks are cheap.

I visit this restaurant regularly with family and friends as well as ordering take always. Both brilliant.. best around. In fact my teenage kids won’t eat anywhere else. Traditional feel. Staff very friendly and good at helping with choices when wanting to explore the menu. Good always the same decent standard. Staff can not do enough for you. Piping hot, good quality. Decent portions. Definitely recommend. Yes the decor is older fashioned but that goes with the vibe of the building and suits the traditional feel. I would not listen to the poor reviews on here.. I was shocked to read them.

Had 2 nice takeaway meals from here, so booked a reservation on Saturday night, The food was good, but the service was awful... my wife and I felt rushed from the second we sat down to order a drink and we were hardly given any time to read the menu. The restaurant had two large parties booked in but elsewhere the rest of the restaurant was quiet and not once did the waiters come over to ask if the food was nice etc. The food was ok, but the waiters were very cold and rushed us and even when we paid the bill and left a tip, we were not acknowledged when we walked out and we just felt like we were not relevant from the minute we walked in to the minute we walked out, We are easy going people who have made many v good comments on trip advisor for many other restaurants over many years,,,, but we will not be going back here for a meal.

I often use this app to write positively about the restaurants I visit. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good word to say about Hilal Balti House. The food is bland and flavourless, the drinks are warm, the decor is dark and drab and the atmosphere is non existent. Formby village deserves a better quality Indian restaurant.

Sadly this was one of the worst Indian meals I have ever had. The food had no taste at all… I couldn’t find anything nice to say about the meal and my friend’s food was the same. It’s an Indian restaurant that doesn’t play Indian music but instead they had Jazz on. Not very authentic... When it come to paying, they don’t accept card and both local cash machines were out of order, leaving my friend to walk 20 mins away to get cash. Feedback: Add some flavours to your dishes. Get with the times and get a card reader. Play some Indian style music to add to the atmosphere. Serve cold drinks (the soft drinks were warm). Sorry, I would never visit this place again.
