Our Most Popular Dishes at Balti Indian Restaurant Toronto
When Bloor West locals think of the best Indian food in the neighbourhood, these are the dishes that always top the list:
Balti Butter Chicken
Our signature dish and the one that defines us. Tender boneless chicken marinated overnight in our special spice blend, grilled in our clay tandoor oven and finished in a rich, creamy cashew sauce. Served in our iconic copper bucket — this is the authentic Balti experience. Pairs perfectly with our freshly baked butter naan.
Jhol Momo — Authentic Nepali Dumplings
Handmade Nepali dumplings served in a rich, spiced broth — a dish you simply won’t find at most Indian restaurants in Toronto. Our momos are made fresh daily and have quickly become one of the most talked-about dishes in the Bloor West area. Available in chicken, vegetable and beef varieties.
Lamb Biryani
Slow-cooked basmati rice layered with tender lamb, aromatic whole spices and caramelised onions. Our biryani is prepared over several hours to develop that deep, complex flavour you simply cannot find anywhere else on Bloor Street. A must-order for any biryani lover.
Chicken Tikka Masala
A classic for a reason. Marinated chicken tikka cooked in our signature masala sauce — rich, slightly smoky and perfectly balanced. This is the dish we recommend to anyone trying Indian food for the very first time at our Toronto location.
Paneer Makhani
Our most loved vegetarian dish. Soft cubes of fresh cottage cheese slow-cooked in a velvety tomato and cashew sauce with aromatic spices. Rich, creamy and deeply satisfying — a favourite among Toronto’s large vegetarian community.
Hakka Noodles
Our Indo-Chinese Hakka noodles are a crowd favourite for the whole family. Stir-fried with fresh vegetables and your choice of chicken, shrimp or mixed, they deliver bold flavour in every bite — unique to Balti’s three-cuisine concept.
