Royal Balti

Royal Balti is the Indian kitchen on the Wood Road parade in Chaddesden, the shopping cluster at the heart of the older post-war housing east of Derby. It's halal-listed and runs the standard balti-house line — tandoori starters, the long roll-call of balti dishes, biryanis, traditional korma-madras-vindaloo curries — alongside a side menu of rice and naan options to round out a family order. The Wood Road parade is one of the busier residential shopping rows in the east of the city, and Royal Balti shares it with a Chinese, a chippy and the usual run of estate-parade trade. Online reviews are sparse — the operation lives on its phone and parade walk-in trade rather than chasing the delivery aggregators — and the regular customers come from the streets that fan out behind Wood Road towards Nottingham Road. A neighbourhood Indian for the residential side of Chaddesden.
