Balti Express

Balti Express on Constarry Road rounds out the small cluster of takeaways serving this section of Croy, adding an Indian balti option to the Chinese alternatives that line the same street. The balti is the defining dish — a Birmingham-originated style of curry cooked quickly in a pressed-steel wok and served in its cooking vessel — and the kitchen applies this format to the standard North Indian repertoire of chicken, lamb, and vegetable dishes. In a village of Croy's size, a dedicated balti operation is unusual and gives Balti Express a defined identity in a small market. The Constarry Road address keeps it close to the community it serves.
