About Crown King
Crown King is an Indian takeaway at 37 Reddish Ln in Manchester. The menu covers curries, with onion bhaji as a starter and garlic naan as a side. Doner and kebab meat also appear on the menu, along with a donner barm for anyone who wants something outside the curry range. Set menus are available, including a family deal, and the team will change the dishes on a set menu when a customer asks. That makes the set menus a flexible option for a household or group ordering together.

Customer Review Summary
Late delivery is the dominant theme at this Reddish Lane takeaway, with several reviewers reporting food arriving two hours or more after ordering, and one saying it came well after the estimated time even though the food was hot. Missing items recur alongside it: a curry left out of the bag, a main meal absent from a family deal, no salad or mint sauce with starters, and a wrong curry sauce. Others describe dry starters, a dry donner barm, bone dry rice and chips, and tasteless kebab meat, and one says a refund was refused and the phone put down. Long-standing customers say standards have slipped. Praise is real but less frequent. One reviewer calls the onion bhaji crispy with mint raita, and notes the chicken bhuna and chicken korma, fluffy rice and portions that easily feed two. Another calls the food restaurant quality and hot despite an hour-plus wait, and a regular of twenty years mentions a manager who will change dishes on the set menu if asked. One reviewer says the manager who delivered to their hotel was very polite.

“Really disappointing experience. After waiting well over an hour I phoned and was told 5 mins. 25 minutes later my partner went to the shop and ‘collected’ the delivery. 2 hours from ordering to plate is not ok! Won’t be ordering again”

“I've come to Manchester for work and was recommended Crown King and they delivered straight to the hotel. The food arrived piping hot and I believe it was one of the managers who delivered our food. He was very polite. The food was exceptional. The onion bhaji was so crispy and tasted of fried onions. Delicious with the mint raita. We had naan,chicken pakora, rice ( fluffy sepeate grains, perfectly cooked) chicken bhuna, chicken korma, chicken tikka starters ,poppadom, chips. The portions sizes are good. Easily feed 2, possibly even 3. Not greasy and very flavourful.”
