The food was very good, the milkshakes were also really good. Restaurant is cool from the inside with lots of details. Staff are super friendly, gave us lots of compliments. Complimentary air hockey table for customers , and tv for the little ones!

So many awesome reviews and photos.. this place is really popular, so let me add my 50 cents in the kitty.
If you are near Hamilton, NZ, and got cravings for some spice and symphony of taste on the tip of your tongue, then you shall find it at Bala's.
- Staff is friendly and accommodating. They changed the music for us which I think was impressive.
- The food has been reviewed so many times, no need to comment. Tables and cutlery was clean. Decorum and everything else is top notch, and very well presented.
- Toilet was clean, well stocked.
- Parking on the side, several car ports. At lunch time, plentiful.
- The premises has a separate hall for functions, as on photo.
Every time I'm near, I will be having a pit-stop at Bala's.
Massive respect to the whole team!

Closes at 2am, wish more places are open around this time. It was pretty quiet when I came here around 1am. Alot of seating, and it's great for groups.
- Combination fried rice 8.7/10
It's really decent. Beef and chicken slices were really tasty, rice fried well, and good balance with the Veges.
- Spicy chicken 1.5/10
Mostly bones, insane amounts of chili and schezuan peppercorns, very dry. It's not worth it unless you like eating bones.
- pork and ginger dumplings 6.5/10
Sa8ce needed, make sure you get some from the self-service area at the restaurant. Basic, but they're fine.

Good Selection of indo-american appetizers. Their selection of pizzas is good. It is vegetarians and vegan friendly. Their $1.99 fries is worth the hype. I liked dal tadka more than dal makhni. Paneer Amritsari is good but it is very similar to kadayi paneer. If you like creamy curry go for butter masala sauce/gravy with your favourite protein. I tried paneer but they have meats options as well.

Absolutely love this place! Sensational Chicken really lives up to the name. Proper tasty halal fried chicken, loads of variety to choose from, and the prices are spot on. Everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious, can’t fault it. Plus, they do online orders and delivery too, which is super handy. Definitely a go-to if you're after a decent meal without breaking the bank, enjoy 😊

Top Tea restaurant looks like a Hong Kong cafe with all the sign decorations, but I’m not really sure so it’s a Hong Kong style cafe. I ordered a special combo BBQ pork rice roll + Pork Bone Congee ($13.9).

+ Half of the BBQ pork rice rolls are cabbage rice rolls. It’s a blatant rip-off. It makes me want to draw an anti gourmet manga. Like Kodoku no Gourmet except all your dining experience are disasters.
+ Pork bone congee is plain congee with pork bone in it. Pork taste is too subtle.
Service - 9/10
Overall I will give this restaurant 3 stars. 🤓🤷
