I haven’t been there in 5 years. It used to be a good cheap curry, now it’s horrible. It’s an embarrassment to indian cuisine. I couldn’t finish my my meal, which is a rarity.
Fast service, great food at very reasonable price. I had the Thai Chicken salad which was very tasty. Good options for if you are on a healthy diet.
Delicious..delicious…delicious..something for the whole family. The vegan curry puffs & all dishes we had were amazing.Don’t walk by this unassuming restaurant when in St Kilda.
I have been to Bala’s numerous times over the last 3 years since I moved to St Kilda. I was hardly ever disappointed. However in the last 6 months or so the quality has gone down rapidly. I just had some Brown Rice with Yellow Chicken Curry and Bean Tofu vegetables and it was pretty bad. The only good thing was the Yellow chicken curry but even that tasted like it’s been in the heating box for days. By far the worst was the Brown rice…How hard is it to cook rice? It was totally overcooked and therefore not edible… Since you get rice with almost every meal here that is a massive disappointment.
Like I said, I used to love this place. My last experience was really bad but I gave it another shot today…Awful. If it wasn’t for the Yellow Chicken Curry it would have been 0 stars.
Bala’s has been around for ages but their food is pretty mediocre. Curries taste very standard and westernized, no authenticity to them. HOWEVER, they have THE BEST CHICKEN CURRY PUFFS EVER. Something about the filling, almost likes yellow/green chicken coconut curry filling that is so juicy. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t made on site because it’s just fantastic. Decent for a $2.60 price tag, it’s not too tiny. Been bringing friends and buying them curry puffs every time they meet for coffee in the area. Only thing I buy from there now.
I don’t get this place. They have been here so long. The food is average. Curries made from packet curry paste – the cheapest variety too. Interesting choices. It hadn’t really changed since I was last here over 10 years ago. Saturday was a hot day, and eating in with added heat from the kitchen wofting into the dining area made for an uncomfortable experience. My sister loves this place, but I think that may be for sentimental reasons more than anything else.

I took about 5-10 minutes for two ladies to figure out what we wanted to order.. Don’t know why I bothered. Food is ok, the portions are small for the price….but not worth the wait!!!
