Bengal Balti

Bengal Balti on Bath Road serves the Rodborough area of Stroud, the hillside neighbourhood that climbs above the town towards Rodborough Common. The kitchen has earned a reputation for fresh, flavoursome Indian cooking with a separate vegetarian menu that is wider than most Stroud Indian takeaways offer. Fish shashlik is the dish most frequently singled out by reviewers — juicy, well-spiced, and described as exceptional — alongside tandoori king prawns and seekh kebab cooked to a precise char. One reviewer, with forty years of curry-eating behind them, rated it among the best they had encountered. Portions are generous and prices reasonable. The takeaway can run slow at peak times, but the kitchen's consistency over many years has built a loyal following in Rodborough and the surrounding Stroud hillside streets.
