Shahi Balti

Shahi Balti has held a place on Westgate Street for around four decades, building a reputation as one of the finest Indian restaurants in Gloucester city centre over that span. The kitchen covers the full range of tandoori and balti cooking — the balti dishes in particular are the house speciality — alongside a broad curry menu that includes vegetarian options. TripAdvisor reviewers rate it 4.5 out of 5 from 46 reviews, with a consistent thread of praise for fresh, generous portions at fair prices and staff who are described as friendly and attentive. The price range runs from around £12 to £28 a head. Westgate Street is the historic western arm of the Roman grid, a short walk from the cathedral and the medieval centre of the city. For forty years Shahi Balti has been the answer to the question of where to find a good curry near the cathedral.
