Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the curries, with hot, tasty chicken tandoori and chicken curry, and a vegetable vindaloo upgraded to a Phal that one regular says always arrives spicy and full of flavour. Close behind is the speed of service and delivery, along with generous portions, with one diner saying an order for two fed four and another praising the plentiful salad with a donner kebab and chips. A wrap is also called flavourful. The most recurring complaint is oil: several reviewers describe the curries as greasy or oily, and one says the amount used is unnecessary and would otherwise have earned five stars. A pizza was called tasteless and too greasy to finish, with a poor cheese texture, and curry chips arrived soggy with a odd-looking sauce that still tasted nice. One reviewer was put off by a delivery driver who said nothing after climbing three flights of stairs, while others found drivers polite. Several say the kitchen follows order instructions, and one notes the food arrived boiling hot.

“Disgusting takeaway. Shirks it's responsiblity to produce genuine product. Takes short cuts on food production and only produces bare minimum on food excellence. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FAKE TAKEAWAY!!!”
- Andy Parbles
“Food was good very greasy/oily though Down side was the delivery guy moaning due to having to deliver 3 flights of stairs to our apartment just handed the food bag over didn't say a word and walked off So that's it for me no more Curry King for me”
- Emily Glenn
“I ordered chicken tandoori, chicken curry and potato curry. Food was hot and tasty, chicken very tender. The only negative is the amount of oil used in the dishes, it really isn't necessary. I would've given 5 stars if it wasn't so oily.”
- Jakub Coric
“Amazing food, friendly staff with high quality service.”
- Jamie parker
“I always order a vegetable vindaloo and add 50p to make it a Phal. It always arrives spicy and full of flavour. Food is always hot, fresh and tasty. Plus they always read and follow my order instructions which is an appreciated bonus.”
