Quick info
About Masala King
Masala King is a pizza takeaway at 637 Harvey Rd in Derby, open daily. The menu pairs pizzas with a wider kebab range, so one order can cover different tastes. Shish kebabs and the mega kebab come with naan bread and salad, and chips are often ordered alongside them. Chicken tikka sits on the same menu for anyone who wants something other than a kebab or pizza. Orders are taken at the counter, and the website is another way to place one.

Customer Review Summary
Kebabs draw the most mentions at Masala King, and opinion splits sharply. Supporters praise the kebabs and wraps, with burgers and pizzas also named, and one long-time customer says the naan, meat and chips stayed hot on a drive home. Several describe friendly staff, speedy collection or delivery, and a promise to fix a wrong order at no extra cost. Critics are just as specific. Reviewers call the shish and the mega kebab small, with dry meat cut into tiny pieces, and one says the naan was not fresh and the tandoori chicken seemed reheated. Another says three orders arrived with a tomato base instead of the garlic base requested online, on a greasy pizza. Several say quality dropped since the change of ownership. One reviewer reports seeing a rat in the kitchen. Another returned a wrap, saying the chicken tikka looked old and the grill unclean. Regular customers describe feeling poorly treated after repeat orders, and one remembers the previous owners fondly.

“I was in south Derbyshire 05/08/2025 and wanted to call in to Masala King for a kebab , I was a bit put off by a couple of recent bad reviews, some say it's changed owners. I called in anyway, the lad who takes the orders at the counter is the same man. I ordered two different kebabs and a large fries, it took about 10 to 15 minutes, as the man said it would. I drove back to Leicester with it and it was still hot , the naan was good then meat was good then chips were good, all good then same good quality as it been from Masala King for the 10? Years I've been going there. Highly recommend for top quality kebabs.”
