The Balti Cottage - (Near Barking and Dagenham, london)

5 /5 Through The Lens: Scrumptious food. Must try the desi tika biriani. Best biriani ever. Not sure why the low reviews. All the food was delicious and delivery was super fast. Will definitely be ordering again. Order direct from their website for discounts. More expensive via just eat etc. And is better for the business.

3 /5 Zaman Ayman “ZamZamDude”: Always used to pass by this place every weekend for 5 years near my old workplace. Finally I mustered up the courage to go inside. My old workplace colleagues advised me never to try the food. They went in once never visited again in their lives. Anyways I’ll cut to the chase, the food quality is mediocre. Must try the rice dishes (pictured below) with the tandoori grill chicken cubes and wings. The curry is tasteful and edible but nothing special compared to other average buffet restaurants I’ve been in the past. £9.95 for all you can buffet is a bargain but that also explains their current food quality. I wouldn’t recommend trying the appetisers station (i.e - Veg Samosas, Potato Bhaji, and etc) it wasn’t that great unfortunately. Tasted bland, flavourless and wasn’t fresh had a weird smell after the first morsel bite. However the staff was friendly they get overwhelmed whenever a customer walks in but overall fairly cheap eats in a middle class neighbourhood.

4 /5 Shay Kay: Lovely little restaurant, paid £11.95 for an all you can eat and there was so much choice. Food was fresh and hot, staff were polite. Will defo be returning :)
