Arong Balti House

Tucked away in Waterloo, Arong Balti House has earned a reputation for biryani that stops you mid-forkful. This place leans into the slow-cooked, spice-layered traditions of Indian and tandoori cooking, delivering meals that feel both generous and considered. It’s the kind of spot where the rice comes fragrant, the meat tender, and the whole thing arrives in a cloud of steam that promises something properly made.

The biryani here is the headline act—each grain separate, each layer carrying its own quiet heat. But the tandoori offerings deserve equal attention, with that char-edged smokiness that only a proper clay oven can give. Whether you’re after a fiery chicken tikka or a milder, creamy korma, the kitchen handles spice with confidence. Order online for delivery or collection, and bring your appetite.
