Shama Balti House

Shama Balti House occupies the small Station Road parade in Stainforth, a short way from the Mumbai restaurant and the central village cluster. The kitchen runs the conventional South Yorkshire curry-house hybrid — full curry-house range through balti, masala, korma, jalfrezi and the standard tandoori starters, alongside a burger, kebab and southern-fried chicken section that bridges into the late-evening fast-food orders. The reviewer footprint on the major directories is light against the bigger neighbours on the same street, but the regulars who comment tend to pick out the kebab portions and the consistency on the standard curry mains; comment on service runs mixed across the photo reviews. The Stainforth Station Road corridor carries several long-standing takeaways and the competition is well-developed for a village of this size, dating back to the post-colliery period.
