The picturesque village of Winchcombe is home to Sudley Castle, a popular destination for tourists, yet is also home to another regal establishment – the Raja Balti. This charming Indian eatery is much loved by locals and happily discovered by visitors, and to set foot inside is to see why. Raja Balti is set apart from other village baltis – it is modern and stylish with elegant decor, comfortable high-backed chairs and sleek wooden tables.

Raja Balti has everything, and more besides, that you could want from an Indian restaurant. Traditional Pan-Indian dishes sit alongside more contemporary creations designed to both challenge and seduce your tastebuds. Perhaps you have a craving that only a chicken tikka masala or lamb vindaloo can satisfy; or you might be feeling more adventurous, in which case a chicken tikka musaka may tickle your fancy, made with a blend of herbs and spices, and then mixed with fine-cut spring onions and a minced lamb sauce. Exotic as the food is here, ingredients are sourced from the local community whenever possible, so expect fresh local meats and vegetables on your plate.

A warm welcome awaits you at Raja Balti, and the staff pride themselves on their excellent service, as well as their delicious authentic food. Whether they’re helping you choose from the wide range of dishes, or suggesting a wine from the extensive list, you’re bound to feel at home and at ease
