Terrible

by nolita77 at Citysearch

I recently had take out from Baluchis and it was terrible. The rice smelled and tasted spoiled (as if that were even possible) and the nan was pure rubber. Disgusting!

• Pros: none
• Cons: terrible food

Shrimp Curry Warning

by thenza78 at Citysearch

I ordered the shrimp curry on a lovely spring Thursday night, and I woke up at 2 a.m. with hives all over my arms. Doctor said I most likely had an allergic reaction to SPOILED SHRIMP. (doogle it: spoiled shrimp release a histamine that causes allergic reactions, including hives). It's not a mistake easily made back there in the kitchen -- spoiled shrimp STINK. But they drowned in in curry sauce and masked the crime. I should've trusted my gut -- its was telling me to send it back.

First time hive patient. Thanks Baluccis!!!

Delicious Gourmet Indian

by b00pi3flak3s at Citysearch

This particular location is probably among the best of the popular gourmet Indian chain Baluchi's, which tends to surprise people the fact that its not an Italian establishment. The food is superb from the biriyani dishes to the vegetarian choices and the portions are extremely decent. Service has been variable at best, with terribly rude phone manners to fantastic in-house service. Being that its gourmet however, some might have problems justifying the prices (e.g. $3.95 gets you 1 veggie samosa), however, the food is extremely well prepared. I am even impressed with their delivery, which has always arrived in a very short amount of time.

• Pros: Food, Delivery, Decor
• Cons: Service (at times), Expensive

Horrible Food!!

by lejam at Citysearch

I have eaten before at Baluchis and find the food to be very tasty. But this location at Spring was beyond bad. My friends were in town from Japan and wanted to try Indian food. So we decided to go to Baluchis after having to wait long hours at other restaurants, it was our last resort. We got there and it took the waiter a while to attend to us. We had the vegetable kebabs, it tasted more like raw vegetables and yogurt. Chicken korma was horrendous, which I sent back because I had chicken korma many times being indian. I really can't say anything good about our meal. I felt very disappointed because even my guests complained and knew how bad the food was because the've had much better in Japan. I don't know if it was the chef, but I don't think I would dine at this location again.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Bad food

The Best Baluchi's

by dendritica at Citysearch

I have also been to several of Baluchi's restaurants, and I definitely agree that this location consistently has better food and great service. The 50%-off special before 3pm is fantastic deal!

• Pros: delicious food, friendly service, nice ambiance
