Balle Balle Indian Restaurant & Bar 巴雷巴雷 印度餐廳 — Restaurant in Songshan District

I ordered a Masala Tea, a Gosht Vindaloo, a Basmati Rice and a Kesar Kulfi.

The greeting appetiser was great and crunchy. If you dip those into the green sour sauce, they get even better.

The Masala Tea also tastes great and Basmati rice has different texture from the typical rice.

Gosht Vindaloo has great shredded potatoes and tender lamb. In my opinion, the curry sauce is a lot spicier than expected but delicious and has a unique taste.

Kesar Kulfi was creamy, sweet and went so well with the toppings that made great texture. This was the best Kulfi I’ve ever had, definitely recommended to try at least once.

What’s surprising, at the end I was greeted with a plate of 2 potato balls and they were kinda salty, crispy and a bit savoury at the same time. The green drink contains mint inside but I don’t eat mint. The Indian sugar tastes sweet but has a distinguishing texture, appearance and a taste slightly similar to peanuts.

In conclusion, the man had an enthusiastic attitude and great efficiency. He even granted me a coupon that if you come back here next time and spend more than $900, you get 2 complimentary drinks. He also gave me an Indian soap when I was ready to pay for the meal. The atmosphere was lively and authentic with Indian styled ornaments. Balle Balle is such as cool name because I’d heard of that in some Indian songs. Overall, it’s a 9.8 out of 10, definitely coming back again in the future!

Edit (1/12/24): I came back to dine in again and tried Lamb Biryani and the owner told me to try eating the rice with the yogurt but I still prefer eating the rice only. When I was paying, the owner saw my review of last time and treated me a Hot Masala Tea (takeaway) and it was...

During our recent trip to Taiwan, we were craving some authentic Indian food and came across this wonderful restaurant tucked away in a well-established and peaceful neighbourhood. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm and genuine smile from the owner, who instantly made us feel at home. His hospitality and humble nature were simply heartwarming — it truly felt like dining in a friend’s home rather than a restaurant abroad.

The restaurant has a compact yet cosy setup, with a clean and inviting ambience. Despite being small in size, the flavours they deliver are absolutely grand! We tried a variety of dishes during lunch — each one prepared with authentic Indian spices, balanced flavours, and cooked to perfection. The aroma, presentation, and taste reminded us of home, which is quite rare to find outside India.

The highlight of our experience was not just the food but the personal touch and conversation with the owner, who clearly takes pride in serving his guests and maintaining the authenticity of Indian cuisine.

For any Indian travellers visiting Taiwan who are missing the taste of home, this restaurant is a must-visit. It offers a perfect blend of authentic Indian flavours, great service, and a homely atmosphere. We left with full hearts and fuller stomachs, already planning to visit again on our next trip!
