mikey Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 You should have read the reviews here first, no mention of Balti King in here. I have been and found it a bit tacky. The Z3 is probably the owners, made a fortune from selling dodgy curries to drunken students. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?threadid=486&highlight=indian+restaurants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ruscoe Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Well, the University of Sheffield promote Balti King like mad because they sponsor loads of the uni's sports teams. In my experience, the only people who actually enjoy Balti King curries are going there at around 3am after a heavy drinking session. We went plenty times whilst I was at university and each time we said we'd never go again... each time it was awful... each time we complained about the quality of the curry and they normally dismissed our complaints as rubbish because we were drunk - but let's face it - the more drunk we are, the better the curry will taste, so these must have been really bad! Balti King is bad. Full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickszz Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I've been a few times in the mid 90's also. The food seemed ok but, I found the seating a bit uncomforatable. Upstairs is better than downstairs IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawgan Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Been there a couple of time, have to say I wasn't impressed and hadn't any plans to go again.. Tried Nirmals on West St/Glossop Rd the other week. Excellent all round. Will certainly be going there again soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wearetherobots Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 mm dunno about that place, thankfully I have never had the pleasure of eating there although I have passed it on numerous occasions. I did have a take-away from the Everest the other night which was absolutely rancid. I'm sticking to Tesco finest indian meal for two in future.
