Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the tender meat in the curries, from a lamb with a rich gravy to a chicken madras described as melt in the mouth, with real heat. Close behind are the sides: a daal seasoned to perfection, vegetable rice, a crispy samosa, and fresh, soft garlic and cheese naan, with popadoms and dips included. A chicken jalfrazi is called colourful and tasty. Several mention quick delivery, lovely staff in the shop and on the phone, and a clean shop and side alley. Orders arrive hot, with containers filled to the brim. The criticism is that two three-star reviewers found the cooking tasteless. One could not taste any Asian spices and wanted at least some heat, and another said the chicken tikka bhuna and rezala did not taste the way they should. Long-time customers say they have ordered for years, and one reports that when the shop closed for a few weeks, nothing else they tried came close.

“If you are in the mood for a top grade, flavourful, meat tender curry visit King Curry, I have previously ordered via their online menu or over the phone but tonight decided to go order in person. I was greeted in shop, the staff where lovely, they gave me time to decide and when I ordered they gave me their full attention. I ordered the chicken madras, this was absolutely stunning the spices where presently hot, the chicken was melt in your mouth tender, 10 out of 10 will be ordering again.”

“Seriously the best Indian takeaway we have ever had. Would never go anywhere else. The food is unbelievable and the staff are lovely. Definitely won't be disappointed going here, it's truly the best! Just over £30 for two people to eat and that is with extras, very good price for even better food”

“Best place for a curry in Darlington. The small things really matter, I collected my order and couldn’t help but notice how clean it was outside the shop, the side alley was spotless, which tells me they really care about their business and the community. Inside the shop it’s very clean and the aroma of the spices and dishes they’re preparing in the kitchen are just incredible. The lamb is so tender and the gravy is very rich, and delicious. The daal was perfect, soft and seasoned to perfection. Garlic naan, Cheese naan fresh and soft all the way through. They gave us popadoms and dips, which was a nice touch. Everything was pipping hot, and the containers filled to the brim. Lovely meal, will be returning, and highly recommended to others. Enjoy!”
