Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The restaurant is beautifully fitted out, with a lovely warm feel to it. We did almost leave straight away however as there was some very loud pop music playing, presumably put in for the benefit of the young girls serving, not for customers. Thankfully this was changed to elevator piano music, which was more bearable but still too loud and dominant in my opinion. We ordered three drinks, two arrived and one didn’t. We had to prompt the waitress who had to ask what the missing drink was. We ordered popadoms and chutneys, which were tasty, except one which was ok but pretty sure it was Thousand Island dressing, but we’re told us was the ‘house garlic sauce’. Also for the first time in 40 years of curry eating, the popadoms came already broken up into pieces, highly unusual and I was unsure as to the reason for this. I was impressed with the main course curry dishes which were really tasty, generously portioned and beautifully presented. I’d happily eat there again despite the niggles.

The food and ambience at Sanjha is really totally great. (We had Salt N Chilli Chicken under Butter Chicken) All food is clearly marked on the map with a sharpness scale and can be changed individually.
We have come into a personal conversation with our host and were absolutely delighted by his kindness and courteous nature. A visit we will never forget.

The Sunday Buffet. This is, in our opinion, one of the best restaurants in the area of any type and certainly the best Indian restaurant. The Sunday Buffet is an absolute treat - with a wide range of starters, mains and desserts suitable for all tastes. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. The food is delicious and the buffet is regularly refreshed and topped up. Highly recommended. We go here regularly and always leave happy. Excellent value and great food.

So expensive and food has went completely downhill!! The prices in Sanjha have went up recently. Crazy prices. This is ballymena not London. £15.95 for 1 curry. That doesn’t include rice or nan.
The food has dramatically changed. Hardly any chicken in the dish and not the same. Obviously have had a change of chef in the kitchen and it’s not good enough. Won’t be back.
Owners of Sanjha. You need to get the food standards up and the prices down or you’ll lose all of your customers!!

Great takeaway , offered complimentary drinks whilst we waited. The food was delicious. Geographically I always find slight variations, but the Patia, lamb Bhoona and Butter Chicken were very good, my 3yo & 7yo enjoyed a Korma that was lovely and coco-nutty. Recommended

Despite living in Ballymena we had never eaten here before. A mistake! We’ve just had an excellent meal; Kashmiri roghan Josh and monkfish roghan Josh with Peshawari naan. The food was delicious, and with just the right amount of spice. The naan was thin and very tasty - sometimes they can be too thick and fluffy. The service was attentive and there is Cobra on tap. Highly recommended.

This place never fails to deliver! Come here every year when I visit from the USA. The quality of food, the standard of service and the price point remains consistent every year. You must give this place a try if you are in the area.

Got a takeaway tonight, wished we hadn’t bothered or wasted money on it. The starters were atrocious - VERY oily onion bhaji, chicken pakora with soggy batter, soft poppadoms and no recognisable dips, even the “mint” sauce didn’t taste of anything much. Threw half the starters away. The naan was thin and soggy, certainly not freshly made in house. The main course of chicken bhuna was all sauce and very little chicken, eight tiny pieces. Half of the main went in the bin as well. Never again, total waste of £28!!!!

As always, my family had an enjoyable evening: the food was good as was the house wines and attentive service. We had a variety of dishes and all were rated highly by my family. I only hope that more people in Ballymena will discover this gem of a restaurant in their midst. It will be a shame if this restaurant will ever have to close for lack of local custom.

We have so missed Sanjha over lockdown and on Sunday we had an early dinner which was exceptional. The tandoori prawns were excellent as was the Malai curry with more prawns and the Monkfish Biryani melted in the mouth. We tried the chicken 65 which was gorgeous. Peshwari naan again was fantastic. The restaurant is great with social distancing and it felt safe to be eating there. For almost four months we suffered my attempts at curry and I felt it wasn't too bad, then you go to Sanjha and you realise just how accomplished the chef and staff are at cooking and hospitality and how truly pathetic my efforts were. Excellent restaurant.

I got a vegtarian taleaway that had no freah vegetables. A handful of frozen veg of peas carrots and sweetcorn is not good enough for a vegetarian dish!!
Laziness on the chefs behalf.
I would not reccomend when I complained they agreed it was frozen veg. Dont waste your money. Extremely dissappointing

Been here a couple of times and always loved it ! Good food, huge portions and wide range of dishes to choose from. Staff were very attentive and welcoming, even giving us a free drink after our meal. Highly recommend!

Wow!. Took a chance on eschewing the hotel food for a bit of the spice of life.
Ballamena? Not exactly the well known home of great Indian food - who would have guessed.
Dishes (largish portions, with attention to plating - nice touch) generated from great spices. Rarely have I experienced such culinary skill.
Service was excellent, everyone trying to improve the experience.
All in all 5 stars.

Two adult Early Bird meals inc. butter chicken and a monkfish korma & a kids meal. Importantly son really liked his and Mrs enjoyed both mains, not being a usual fan of Indian food....we may have a convert! Excellent quality, service and price.
