Spice Avenue Balti Resturant The
There is a fair amount of mysticism around the origin of Balti. The word Balti means ‘Bucket’ which bears no resemblance to the cooking dish the ‘Korai’ similar to the wok from which the Balti developed.
It is believed that the style of Balti cooking started in the northern region of Pakistan in the state of Kashmir, from where it then spread throughout the Indian subcontinent and the rest of the world (Birmingham UK) and now in Birkdale Australia. The regions close proximity to China the home of the Wok may no doubt have influenced the development of the Balti.
We at the Spice Avenue, Birkdale take pride in our quality and high standards of traditional Balti cooking. We specialise in a variety of Balti dishes cooked in the traditional way using only the finest and freshest of ingredients to ensure your complete satisfaction. Although many Balti names resemble curries which are served in the Australian-Indian restaurants, there is no similarity to the taste or cooking methods which are used in The Spice Avenue. This formula of cooking and presentation has been practiced in our UK branch since 1980.
