Balti Butter Chicken
Our signature dish. Tender boneless chicken marinated in our special blend of spices, grilled in the tandoor and finished in a rich, creamy cashew sauce. Served in our iconic copper bucket, this is the dish that put Balti Indian Restaurant on the map in Whitby. Pairs perfectly with our freshly baked butter naan.

Slow-cooked basmati rice layered with tender lamb, aromatic spices and caramelised onions. Our biryani is a labour of love — prepared over several hours to achieve that deep, complex flavour that you simply cannot find anywhere else in Whitby.
Chicken Tikka Masala
A classic for a reason. Marinated chicken tikka cooked in our signature masala sauce — rich, slightly smoky and perfectly spiced. This is the dish we recommend to anyone trying Indian food for the first time at our Whitby restaurant.
