Ordered on Just Eat not realising this indian is in Bishop Auckland and I live near Crook. Felt a bit guilty thinking delivery driver would have to drive so far. Food was estimated to take an hour but only took 30 mins. Food was red hot. I burnt my fingers which is a good thing. Delivery driver was nice to my Dad who answered the door. Good service. Thank you. :)

I don't know why people have complained about the food and service here...... I've eaten at many Indian restaurants and take aways and this place is absolutely lovely. Their food is brilliant, tasty, and it's never luke warm nor cold. People moaning about silly things like they got a delivery and their poppadoms were crushed.....not being funny but you don't complain to walkers that their crisps were 'broken' LMAO!!!! The service is great too, if you want changes made or something a little different they help the best they can. The server that works there is hilarious, she has great customer service and makes me laugh....and the chef/s GREAT FOOD..... It's absolutely lovely!!!!

Had our meal delivered tonight and was DISSAPOINTED at the packaging the brown paper bag what has the food in was soaked in masala sauce as the lids weren't on properly. So everything was covered the plastic bag was covered in it. I took photos proof. But the food was absolutely 1st class. Just upset at the mess..

It's the 2nd time we've ordered from here & the 2nd time it's been delicious. I got a balti special for main & it was gorgeous loads of meat in it & plenty of tasty spices, the wife had Chicken tikka balti & she raved about it!!. Only downside was that i order tandoori fish as a starter & when it came it was prawns which I'm allergic to. Luckily the wife realised & we swapped. All in all happy with the meals but clearer menu would help 👍👍

We are on holiday in Staindrop and dropped in to Bishops Auckland on the way back. We fancied a curry and found the King's Balti. It said "award winning" in the window and whilst I don't know what award, but if it was for the food then it was very well deserved. We only bought a takeaway, but the person who served me was very helpful and polite. The food only took about 15 minutes and stayed really hot for the further 10 minutes it took to get back to our cottage. There was plant of it too. Large round containers, filled to the top, and a good portion of rice. It was also excellent, lots of meat and plenty of sauce that was all perfectly cooked and extremely tasty. Would we recommend the King's Balti? You bet we would.

1st time i have been here, after trying several indian takeaways since moving to this area. Stuffed paraithas are more like chapaties with a bit stuffing, absolutely disgusting. The kings balti is the only takeaway that makes an original stuffed paraitha. This is the pain part of my meal. Food is excellent. I would recommend this takeaway to anyone. O'NEIL.

Food is lovely. Have taken a long time to deliver previously but this time we collected our food. We've tried a few indian takeaways in the area and this has been the best.
