Book NowAbout Balti Indian Restaurant
Perth’s CBD holds a kitchen that refuses to dilute its spices. Diners pack the St Georges Terrace dining room on random weeknights—mostly chasing North Indian cooking that never pulls its heat. The kitchen leans into thick, dhaba-style gravies, roasting spiced lamb cutlets until charred outside and tender within. Regulars tear through masala-heavy rogan josh and vindaloo that genuinely breaks a sweat, while the floor team quietly keeps water glasses full.
- Tandoor-Fired Lamb Cutlets: Marinated cutlets roasted over high heat in the clay oven to lock in juices beneath a crisp, smoky char.
- Uncompromised Heat & Rich Curries: North Indian classics that hold nothing back on spice, from rich chicken lababdar to fiery vindaloo.
- Crispy Starters & Sharing Plates: Flavor-packed onion bhaji and grilled paneer that round out generous family-style spreads.

Tandoor-Charred Lamb Cutlets
Cutlets are marinated in bold spices and roasted directly in the tandoor, producing a deep exterior char that locks in juices.
All pieces were spiced adequately and cooked in a tandoor, giving it a nice and rich flavour complete with some charring on the outside of the cutlets to seal in the juices.
Jordan Theseira Uncompromising Heat Profiles
Recipes avoid sweetening gravies for Western palates, preserving the genuine, robust heat levels of traditional Punjabi cooking.
The food, therefore, were true to their heat (especially that vindaloo 😮💨).
