Tazmi Balti House

Tazmi Balti House on Derby Lane opened in 1994 and has been earning loyal custom in Old Swan ever since. One reviewer who has ordered since the opening year says they have "never had a bad meal," and another who has been ordering for 22 years rates it ahead of everything else they have tried. The naan bread and meat samosas are called "the best in the city." The menu covers a full subcontinental range: tandoori, baltis, korma, madras, masala, jalfrezi, karahi and biryani. Derby Lane runs through the commercial heart of Old Swan/Stoneycroft, and Tazmi has the kind of multi-decade loyalty that is hard to fake.
