Chicken Tikka
£3.50
Located at 47 Derby Rd, Hinckley LE10 1QD, the Millennium Balti Menu offers a vibrant and deeply satisfying journey through classic Indian and Bangladeshi flavours. As someone who appreciates well-prepared, authentic cuisine, I found the dining experience here to be a cut above many local counterparts.
The menu is impressively diverse, featuring a wide range of balti dishes-each cooked in traditional style with freshly ground spices and served sizzling hot. The chicken tikka balti stood out for its tender texture and balanced spice profile, while the lamb saag was rich, aromatic, and not overly oily-a common pitfall in many similar establishments. For vegetarians, the paneer balti and tarka daal are hearty and flavour-packed options, showing equal care in preparation.
Where Millennium Balti really shines is in its attention to quality and consistency. Portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, and prices are fair given the portion-to-flavour ratio. The naans, especially the garlic and cheese varieties, are fluffy with a slight char that speaks to their freshness from the tandoor. Sides like pilau rice and mango chutney are served promptly and complement mains perfectly.
Service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The team is more than willing to explain dishes to unfamiliar guests, and the atmosphere is relaxed-ideal for both casual dinners and group gatherings.
What sets this place apart from many other curry houses is not just the authenticity of the Millennium Balti Menu, but also the clear pride they take in offering a well-rounded experience. It’s this dedication to quality, comfort, and tradition that makes it one of the top dining spots in Hinckley for lovers of Indian cuisine.
