"Not a great place for a relaxing dinner this time.. more like a madhouse.. a bedlam of noise from a group table with about 20 inconsiderate cackling people all trying to out-shout each other simultaneously, and another table with 4 shrieking women competing to be the loudest individual. The stark low ceilinged room without sound absorbing materials reflects and amplifies noise to deafening levels. We entered feeling quite relaxed but left with splitting headaches caused by this decibel onslaught. The managers should ensure that large noisy parties like this one are only accommodated if located in the upstairs room to show some respect for their other customers. We were assaulted by our experience at Balti Walla which is a great shame because the tandoori dishes with rice and naan that we ordered were top quality and the staff behaved impeccably. To escape the noise we wrapped the tikka and sashlik chicken and naan in napkins and ate them back at home, but we obligingly paid the £40 for this awful experience."

Love this place. Reliable flavours, fast and friendly service and a great BYO policy with no corkage charge. My favourite place to eat mid-week

When the mixed plate starter turns up still frozen in the middle you know your food is not being freshly prepared. A long long wait on a very busy night. We were so disappointed and left.

Had a pickup takeaway. Food was on time and very hot. As a family we all had different items and all was very good. The order process was also good where they described the dishes we ordered. Will be back.

Delicious food and excellent service. We have tried many Indians and this is one of our favourite! Dishes are always consistent and staff really friendly. Even better you can bring your own so it's very reasonable

Four of us regularly visit, typically on a Sunday as it is not so busy and we are flexible. The service is polite and friendly. It is clean and nicely decorated. The food has always been hot, and portions are fairly generous. Poppadoms usually fresh and hot. Prices reasonable and Sainsbury’s is two doors down for wine/beer. It can be busy (typically Friday and Saturday). A place where people linger which is nice if you are in, not nice if you are in a hurry (there are curry shops across the road and round the corner if you are) a common dilemma.

Booked a table for 2 and attended 15 mins early We were told to wait and stood at the counter at the kitchen end, 4 other customers were in a similar position . We waited 30 mins then informed a table was available upstairs, after another 15 mins we left as there were about 50 young men having a good time and wife felt uncomfortable to say the least being the only female on that floor. We decided to leave, as we left I complained to a member of staff who didn't care/ too busy/ not interested etc, shocking. Moral of the story , avoid on Sat nights as really busy within this restaurant. Hoping owner will send me a £30 voucher towards next meal , but a tad unlikely!

Can’t believe this was our first visit and it definitely won’t be our last. Really impressed with the quality of food. We love Bhoomi on special occasions but we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of a busy local restaurant on a Saturday night in January. The poppadoms were crispy and fresh and we loved all the accompaniments, chutneys, onions, raita. We had salmon and tikka starters. The salmon was cooked beautifully but would have preferred more flavour in the marinade. The Chicken tikka was tasty and cooked well. Naan and rice were excellent. Their version of butter chicken was really nice albeit just a tad too much coconut on a personal level. The chicken balti was the stand out the...
