Baluchi - A Pan Indian Destination

"Really good Indian restaurant. The butter chicken was probably the best I’ve had. The Naans and especially the cheese one were amazing! The chicken biryani was real good. Interesting margarita cocktail as well, with an indian twist! Only negative is that’s Quite pricey and the decoration of the room looks a bit neglected."

"This was a lovely find. Very close by to Tower Bridge and where we were to get to the Illuminated Boat Tour on Tower Pier. Baluchi is situated within the Lalit Hotel. It has a school hall appearance inside and is very elaborate and decorative. There was a great ambience inside, dome background music playing and a cosy atmosphere. It was booked for 7pm but got there at 7.10pm and they were able to accommodate for the change of time. The food dishes ordered were delicious and home cooked regional Indian dishes. Being a more upmarket restaurant, it was worth the cost! For a main course, side, drink and dessert, it was about £35-£40 per head. The main courses were fairly portioned and not too heavy like Indian takeaway places, but enough room for one of the traditional desserts! Baluchi is somewhere I would love to come back again to try one of the other dishes!"

"I visited for dinner here and must say food quality is awesome here. Service is good. Interior of restaurant gives you indian vibe. Drinks suggested by staff was awesome. We really enjoyed so much and definitely gonna visit again."

"I would like to start of by saying Corneilu who was looking after us was very good. He took our drinks order and food order in good time and starters came out quickly. The mess that happened after wasn't his fault, he was rushed of his feet and all the time I was there he was jumping from table to table. Now into the issues. The starters came and were fine. Then it took an hour for our mains to arrive. And they only arrived because Corneilu chased it up. After an hour waiting the prawns came out. They sat on the table and got cold because it took a further 1Ominutes for anything else to come out. Burger came out cold too. The curry and naan were fine. Now we asked for the prawns and burger to be reheated or re cooked. Or something. Prawns came out again and were fine. But my burger was basically microwaved. It was a pile of Sloppy mushy mess. One bite and couldn't stomach it anymore. This was just the issue with the food and service. Issues started before we even arrived. Got a call to confirm reservation and was informed there was a party of 45 but they can "accommodate" us I was told. Excuse me? Accommodate me? I booked a month in advance. No one's doing me a favour here. Anyway should have listened to warning signs. Got there and it was like being at a corporate party. Someone was having their work do. Giving speeches. Walking around. Laughing and giggling. And while we're sitting there they're moving furniture about. Right through the restaurant. All this and it's supposed to be my wedding anniversary meal. Safe to say I will never be there again and I do not recommend it to anyone at Absolute shambles. AVOID."
