Balti King — Restaurant in South Hams

I have been visiting Balti King for over 20 years and must admit I haven’t visited since before C*d :( I don’t usually review food places but after all this time it’s about the time I did !!! It’s like I’d been in just last week and not been away for so long!! Simon (the owner!), and at the moment his amazing wife who is helping out, welcomed my wife and me like the old friends we are as if we saw them yesterday! As ever they are genuinely pleased to see you and nothing is too much bother for them. As for the food….as ever it was tasty, well presented, and the portions are just right if not a little on the large side (but you can doggy bag it no problem if it beats you mmmmm!) and the quality of the ingredients was first class….you can tell that the kitchen and the chefs won’t accept less….. 5 stars on everything we ordered! Thankyou to Simon and his lovely wife and the staff there for a great meal (reasonably priced too!!) and a great night out !! Can’t recommend it any higher if you want to have a proper Indian meal! It’s tucked away but it is one of the hidden jewels in the Totnes crown! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simon...

Have been here a good few times over many years. Slowly losing fath. Now lost.

Visited recently with friends. We were the only people in the resteraunt all evening.

We asked for wine, and were told "we have no wine"! We asked for sparkling water, "we have no sparkling water, but I can go to Morrisons to get you some." A little later Morisons brand bottle of water arrived, no ice, no lemon etc. Should have walked out. We didn't. Food arrived, was okay/reasonable. Obviously we should have left before ordering but we stayed and ate okay food.

Probably great for take away orders, but clearly no longer a resteraunt.

Previous visit, 6-9 months earlier was only moderately better. That is to say there were a few other people eating and there was wine, not just one type of beer available.

Sad...

Last Saturday 28th September 2021 my wife and I celebrated our golden wedding anniversary with 23 of our family. We decided to have an Indian takeaway meal in the evening and I put together a list of what everyone wanted. It was quite a list. Not having used the Balti King before I was a bit nervous of how this would turn out. The meal wad delivered and every single thing I had ordered arrived, hot and on time. The meal was splendid and many of the group thought it among the best tasting food they had eaten. My wife and I were delighted with the ease which the order was taken and delivered, the courteous manners of the staff and the beautiful food itself. Thank you very much and I would certainly recommend you to anyone reading this review. Mike...
