My first visit to The Balti King. First off the elderly man serving us- and only us as me and my little boy were the only ones in this restaurant- was the rudest waiter I've ever come across, he was arguing loudly with a woman in the kitchen. Gave me a dirty look when I said I only wanted onion salad and mint sauce instead of a whole pickle tray. This was just the start. Food didn't take long, but when my Cheese Naan came it was CHEESE SLICES in the Naan bread, I was pretty disgusted and didn't eat it. The guy refused to take it off my bill, even though I didn't touch it and I argued it should either be cheddar/mozzarella or at least paneer, he said they'd ran out of cheese and that's why it was cheese slices. Jesus either take it off the menu or go to Lidl literally opposite the restaurant across the road, YOU DO NOT USE CHEESE SLICES as a substitute. Vile. I'm sure I will laugh about this is future, but how unprofessional of a restaurant. The food wasn't that great overall with the lamb being mostly fatty pieces in the curry. No one bothered to check if the food was ok, and I went to the counter to ask to finish up, get the bill and mention the Cheese slice Naan bread 😩
My little boy went to the toilet and was horrified, he told me to make sure I don't go in there and thought it would be funny to take a picture to show me. I really wish he hadn't. I've attached that photo, YOU DEFINITELY WOULDNT WANT TO EAT THERE NOW.

Read morequite a surreal experience at first. no one around when i entered, and quite a while for anyone to appear after i tapped the bell. someone eventually greeted me and led me to a table in a dimly lit room. i asked about parking, they told me to go to the shop nextdoor to enter my number plate, so i did. i return to my table, and asked if I'm ready to place my order. they go to the back, turn on some proper lighting, then take my order. there's no alcohol on the menu, so i again go to the nextdoor shop for a beer. i get back and ask for a pint glass, pointing to the ones behind the counter. a confused gentleman looks at me, then the glasses, back to me, and goes to get someone else. the new person passes me a pint glass. it's not clean, so i ask for a clean one. i get back one still wet from being washed. my food comes out, much sooner than i expected. it is DELICIOUS! some of the best Madras, vindaloo, and keema rice, I've...
Read moreJust returned from a lovely family gathering and celebration. 1st time here and we all enjoyed a pleasant clean, comfortable atmosphere. The service was polite and the food was extremely tasty and well presented. Almost all the plates were empty and containers provided to take home what we couldn't manage to eat. Glasses and corkscrews were provided free of charge for the wine We brought with us. The prices are very fair and good value. Every order was cooked perfectly. For a nice experience with great food that doesn't have to cost a fortune, you really should give this place a try. Perfect for group bookings or just a cozy couple. Also free parking available. (Just inform the staff that you are parked on the private car park and they take care of it) Thank you for a lovely...
