I had a fantastic meal , the owner greeted me like a long lost brother he was so welcoming, he asked me what was my usual type of curry, I said a Madras he asked if he could make me a special Madras just for me a Shuke special it was absolutely amazing, the flavours just blew me away. I can’t wait for the next time.🥰

I have been going here for many years for Dine in and Take out. Never had a bad meal or a bad experience with the food here. Its always great quality, consistent, and great service. Granted there are times when your take away isn't quite ready for collection when you arrive.. but this is only during really busy times when they are trying to fulfil so many orders. Good food takes preparation time, so patience is key. Its definitely my go to Indian takeaway and restaurant in Cwmbran regardless of this minor issue. The restaurant is always clean and tidy, as is the bar and collection area. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the main man being witty and accommodating has been doing a great job for as long as I can remember, and Ellie who is always on the go juggling orders, take aways and walk in customers. And the chef's dishes are faultless. Keep doing an amazing job guys, this really is top quality Indian food at a competitive price 👌 Benjamin Matthews

Fantastic curry, full menu with all the usuals as well as very good selection of chefs specials. Chef will tweak your curry to your preference, add your desired flavour and/or woof it up. Very high quality food. Well priced. Good beer on tap. Highly recommended, great team running the place, very friendly service. Public car parking free just behind restaurant.

Failed to provide order from website, payment taken from bank. Contact balti king replied, they don't use yoyo anymore even though all payment terms is through yoyo. Balti king Staff stated basically not their responsibility and to contact yoyo for a refund. Explained how are customers supposed to know this when ordering on line. Refused to send order unless paid again by phone. Refused to accept any responsibility for their own website details of payment. Customer service is appalling and quite frankly non existent. Contract on website is with balti king through their own website not with other 3rd parties that they contact out to. Would not recommend any dealings with this company whatsoever.

For those who are undecided or want to try something new, always sound advice/ recommendations. Wonderfully accommodating too with dietary requirements, especially when I went vegan a few years ago. Can’t recommend highly enough. Shuk and the team are amazing.

Ordered from here for the first time today. The food arrived quickly, hot and tasty. The onion bhaji, rice and chips were all 10/10. The chicken in the jalfrezi was the best chicken I've ever had in a curry. Sooooo tender. Literally fell apart. The sauce itself was unusual tasting if I'm honest and didn't taste like an average jalfrezi that I normally have so I don't think ide order that curry sauce again but would defo want the same chicken used Nice little side salad and I was impressed by the service I received over the phone whilst ordering; the gentleman was polite and accommodating. Would 100% order from here again- the quality was top- definitely a little hidden gem 💎

Very disappointing the chicken was really dry and tough, the Biriani rice was way undercooked, the spiced popadom were shop bought swarze the chutney tray was totally tasteless and the Nan bread was made that thin it was an inedible crisp! Nothing else to say no wonder we were the only people there!

Awful service. Waited an hour and 20 mins for our meal despite there only being three tables of customers. Obviously more concerned with take away customers. Manager was so rude.

Ordered for delivery. As always, *lovely* tasting food, some of the best around, recommended! However, as always, delivery was late (not told abut this until after order) and some of it was missing. When I phoned to report missing item, girl asked if I wanted it dropped off. Er, yes... I paid for it! Missing item was then delivered within 10 mins. Why couldn't original delivery be that quick?! Annoyed because have had order/delivery problems before, but will persist and order again because food is that good. I've given 4/5 because of delivery issue. If no issue, would be a 6/5!!!

We ordered take-away which was 45 minutes late. Simply called the restaurant to check on delivery; no apology or understanding - blamed it on third parties online. Manager came to the phone and bragged that in 11 years he'd never had a complaint. Told me I was only calling to try and get money off. I didn't mention money once! First time for everything - I will never use them again. Absolutely awful customer service and completely unnecessary were someone to come to the phone and say "my apologies that it took so long to get your order out" - would have sufficed. AVOID!

At the time of booking I asked if there was a gluten free menu. Although there wasn’t a separate GF menu, I was told to ask for Ash who would run through options for my GF friend. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, Ash spent time with us when we were seated discussing the options and making recommendations for accompaniments. We both ordered from the specials options and the meals were delicious as were the recommendations. Great food with great service!

Was looking forward to taking delivery of my first meal from the highly rated and publicised Parbin Service was good, delivery was excellent, food was blah! Not enough flavour although the keema Nan tasted good. Bhajees were tough and floury Much better around so won’t be in a hurry to use again
