JohnC Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Is the Balti King the one up in crookes? If so, I would advise against it... food is mediocre at best, service is appauling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Originally posted by Carmine Last time I ate at the 7 Spices they took an hour to serve us with food that had been closer to dust from Mars than it had to being warm. It's been some years since I went there but I found that I was waiting quite a while but I had no complaints with the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davus78 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I would strongly advise against the Balti King. Ordered take away from there the other night: It took one and a half hrs to get to me (kept promising it would be 5 mins), was cold, they messed the order up and couldnt change it, tasted bad and i had a rather dicky stomach the following day (enough said about that...). Apart from that it was fine (they did actually deliver the food and were very apolegtic about it). I advise everyone to steer well clear of it. Seriously.

karl101 Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I'd rate the Balti King as being the worst in Sheffield. One of the dips that came with the popudoms was ketchup with chopped onions. The food was disgusting. The rice cooked to a mush, the meat (a generic sort, being brown and meat-like) was stringy and would of bounced if dropped. The sauce was unidentifiable, just a brown goo. The others who had a veggie curry didn't do any better. They ended up with a meat curry, minus the meat. The place is rubbish. It's a disgrace to currydom.

snowboarder Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hmmmm....I have only had food poisoning once in 3 years..... Yes the food can be all the same, but never tried their takeaway service. I use the one in Walkley for takeaways, well on Barber road nr the Hadfield...superb and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.B.Yaffle Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I've eaten at Balti King a few times and found the food and service good... although I do remember reading something in the Star about the owner being fined for rat or mouse droppings in the kitchen! For takeaway I prefer to use Jannaths ... its cheap and very good food IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claiireee Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 It's not somewhere I'd like to be taken to on a date but for a cheap meal out with friends I think it's ok. I've never ordered a take away from Balti King though. We always use the one on Commonside opposite the Springvale Pub. Yum yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they're refurbishing it and its been renamed, but I've forgotten what to. Hopefully it'll be the same cook. I think it closed because of vermin infestation.

CaptainSleep Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 the tajak has been renamed the maharaj. don't know why its shut though. Think it just needed a bit of sprucing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
