King Balti in Caerphilly

Food was lovely - really lovely - and not overly spicy for the ‘medium hot’ dishes we ordered. Staff were very friendly and obliging and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The only reason for the 4 stars for atmosphere was because we were the only people in there - hard to believe when the food is so good! We’ll definitely be back, highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoyed the food - Passada was very tasty and pilau rice was very flavoursome .Unfortunately the naan bread was very dry and let the meal down.Food was about half about a hour behind time quoted .

A but hidden away and a new venture it seems. Lovely welcome and really good service. The food was exceptional...had chicken tiķka altitude, pilau rice, sag aloo and some poppadoms with a small Cobra. Left feeling very full and contented. Next time I am in Caerphilly I will definitely go back again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Lovely food the only thing was the lamb it was really chewy

Good quality, good portions and on time Highly recommended 5⭐️

Tandoori mixed grill was delicious, I would recommend.

A very good experience, will order again

Food was great just a shame the delivery taken forever!

Just had a takeaway and it was absolutely beautiful. My daughter loves the prawn puri, would highly recommend!! 🎤

Quick delivery, great communication with a lovely driver, delicious food!

Excellent, tasty food. Great service

Tried unsuccessfully to order on-line as a fault keep occurring - rung them up and they sorted everything and even gave me the online discount 👌

Everything was amazkng me and partner went there yesterday i 100 recommended dining in amazing staff quick service delicious food would go again

Orders lamb masala and a lamb starter ended up throwing the lamb peices away as was unable to chew was like rubber and food was cold when delivered not recommended and my Kerman nan was burnt and tasted like it had been on fire not the nicest Indian I’ve had this is by far the worst

the food was absolutely awful. I have ordered from here few times and never had a problem till the last couple of orders. I've noticed the last few orders the food been awful but tonight I ordered coconut rice and the smell and taste wasn't coconut rice it smelt off, the lamb pasanda was horrendous and off putting m, the paratha bread was off outting. only part was okay was chips, sagga loo etc. I will not be ordering again nore will I recommend I've been put off.

Lovely food. So delicious. Well spiced . Delivery was great ,on time & friendly. Thank you

I visited tonight with my friend and the food was so delicious and the service was really lovely too. I will definitely be visiting again

Great food and very nice and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Very disappointed this evening. The meal arrived 30 minutes late and the food was cold, had to reheat it in the microwave. Usually the meal arrives hot.

Some of the best food I've had and I don't mean just Indian

I came here last month had the veg jalfrezi Dahl and naan as recommended by the server. The server is patient, professional, super friendly and welcoming. Anyway - after last month’s great experience it was easy for me to choose where to eat tonight. Veg jalfrezi, mushroom bahji(sorry about the spelling), Peshawama Naan and papadums. Just like last time - food was excellent, service was impeccable. If you like a very good curry then come here.

From the moment you enter restaurant you're greeted with enticing aromas and impeccable service. Their diverse menu offers authentic Indian flavors, from classic curries to savory biryanis. Don't miss their delightful desserts! A must-visit for an unforgettable taste of India.

Absolutely disgusting I ordered on-line at 7.15 paid by debit card rang at 9 as still hadn't received order only for them to tell me they haven't received my order although they have taken my money they said they were going to ring back ..no call WARNING DO NOT ORDER FROM Them

Currently on a business trip in the area looking for a good Indian Restaurant we found this place. At first I had concerns because I read mixed reviews on Google. But I have to say, the service was really friendly, attentive and helpful when ordering. For starters we ordered onion, bhaji, which was served after 10 minutes and was freshly prepared. For the main course we ordered various curries, side dishes and naan bread. Everything tasted very good. It was well seasoned and served hot. The portions were big enough that we couldn't even eat everything. I can fully recommend the food there and can only advise everyone to try it out.

this is the worst I've ever had food completely cold, very watery and food containers have full rubbish value for money. this is the last time I order from you.

Food was warmish naan bread was cold chips went in the bin flavour was ok

Super disappointed by this order. In the past we have had beautiful food from here. This time around the korma was bity with strands in it like it hasn’t been blended properly. My partner wasn’t able to eat his food because of this

Very varied menu. Food was superb and on time

Food was very tasty and u will definitely order from here again. Thank you!

Food was decent but the portions were abysmal 2 pieces of chicken in the sauce for £9 !!!!

absolutely beautiful food enjoyed everything so much colour and flavour the whole family enjoyed the meal

Very disappointing. Food was cold, missing items from the order and curry portions were shocking. What has gone so badly wrong with this restaurant recently? Gone down hill rapidly unfortunately 😪

Food quality has dropped significantly. Whats happened? Wont be ordering again

We always enjoy king balti, but tonight it was even better than usual! Absolutely delicious, perfect spice levels, hot and on time. Very needed after a chaotic week - thank you!

Biryani is terrible 😭 Doesn't taste like biryani at all. More like colored rice. Please at least use some Indian spices

Amazing food! I usually live 100 miles away but whenever I travel to the area this becomes my go to place for an Indian. I like the authentic touch and the service just goes beyond. The lamb dish is amazing.

The food was horrible The worse Indian food I had ever had in my entire life, the food doesn’t look like Indian at all

One of best Indian restaurants I ever had before. Lovely food, everything i rdered looks so fresh, excellent customer service. We'll come back again to enjoy King Balti's lovely food !

Beautiful food,lovely staff, well worth a visit, our go-to from now on for takeaways and sit down meals we had a lovely Valentine meal last night with good background music to make a nice atmosphere 😋

Worst Indian I have ever had full of water not edible went straight in the bin

We discovered this little gem by chance. It was so good and lovely service we came back the next night. Thank you for everything.

Food was very tasty after I heated it up in the microwave. May I suggest that you cook the lamb longer or you’ll start having compensation complaints for missing teeth, the meat was so tough I had to rip it apart with my fingers

I ordered tonight on Uber eats and wow, the food is lovely, hot and tasty, the delivery driver was really lovely and so was the man who I spoke to on the phone who made the effort to let me know when a drink was not in stock! What an absolutely lovely crew and thank you very much for delivering to me, I 100% recommend the food and also customer service! Absolutely fabulous, thank you so much!

Beautiful meal tonight, everything was piping hot and the chicken balti was lovely, first time trying this and we will definitely be back, well done cooks, it was banging!!

It was more how cold it was. We had to heat it all in the microwave.

why I didn't check the reviews first I'll never know. food was of course late, which is to be expected (had I read the reviews) called up over two hours after ordering to be told it will be another w0 minutes. so I cancelled my order...or so I thought. got hung up on. as ordering elsewhere food arrived, I accepted as we were ready to eat each other.. food was cold, chicken pink, chips like cardboard.... straight in the bin. first and last time . Happy new year

Nice little place with good food. Would recommend

Food arrived cold, onion bhaji’s were freezing, lamb was chewy in the balti

Wow!!! Didn't expect a takeaway restaurant can do dine in with 5 star quality. Rasty food, wonderful service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone. I definitely come again King Balti!!

Absolutly lovely tasty food here, nothing too much trouble for the staff, came round asked if everything was to satisfactory, my answer was... " asolutlely beautful food and very nice resteurant to eat in, will definatley be going again

Very nice food and highly appreciated service from staff. You guys are doing great . Highly recommended for everyone. Cheers...🍻

Food is absolutely horrid. Patak’s poppadams and a brown (?) raita. Pre-made bajis and dry pakoras. The keema naan had a wafer thin disc of meat in a crispy, shop bought naan bread. The worst was to come though, lamb shatkora with 4 tiny pieces of the toughest, old tasting lamb you can imagine. Very rarely does my body tell me to physically stop eating. Even if a meal isn’t quite to par, I will eat it as I hate waste, but this was truly inedible. Zero armosphere in this musicless, coldly lit shopfront with dirty table runners, plastic menus and waiting staff wearing denim jeans and a baseball cap. His fingernails were dirty and he stuck his thumb inside the bowl to carry it to the table 🤢 he also seemed to have never served food in his life, he was clueless on even basic principles of food service. We expressed, in quiet, that we weren’t happy. His initial offer was to knock £13 off a £70 odd bill. I refused, and the price suddenly dropped to £40. The absolute cheek. I don’t come out to haggle over my food, I come to enjoy a rare treat with my family. I was assured the chef was made aware of the feedback, but I explained that I believe the ‘chef’ knows full well what he’s doing, and instead of providing quality Indian food, is instead providing the bare minimum of food and service with the worst ingredients, asking for full price and then trying his luck with negotiations with the customer (if it even comes to that, since a lot of people feel awkward speaking up against bad food). Crooks. I’ve never felt scammed by a restaurant. Easily the worst dining experience of my entire life, and that is an award that has a lot of competition after years of trying the best and worst places in the UK and abroad. I reluctantly paid the £40 and felt sick as soon as I left. I had to stop in a random shop to buy mints just to get the taste of tough old lamb out of my mouth. You should be ashamed at the ‘food’ you serve and what operation you’re running.

not sure if they've changed the chef at King balti as this WAS our go to for an Indian, we ordered tikka masala which didn't taste anything like a tikka masala, also Butter chicken that tasted just like a terrible chicken curry with no buttery taste to it, the chips were like they had been cooked earlier in the day and warmed up and sent to us. the naan breads and rice were OK but not as good as they have been in the past. sorry but you've lost a customer.

Food is amazing as was the service. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely go back

Absolutely amazing food, brilliant customer service recommended to anyone

Order was very late. And when it arrived it was cold. I rang the restaurant and the woman that answered said it was on its way, no apology or explanation. She didn't seem to care.

Absolutely a horrid experience. Would give this place a sub zero rating if it were possible. just moved to the area and thought we would try this restaurant, we love Indian food and our last local Indian takeaway were great. Ordered a takeaway and was told delivery would be in 30 mins, it took over 2 hours and 4 phone calls to finally receive our food. The food that was eventually delivered (cold) can only be described as tasteless, unidentifiable, horrible and a million miles below the standard from other Indian food establishments. You would be crazy to ever have anything from the establishment, there are many places better, avoid or be very, very, disappointed.

Disappointing- sauce and salad was missing from the starters

Over and hour and half wait for collection. Not happy

The set meal comes with chicken curry, but i got chicken tika massala instead. I dont like it so the kids had it, disappointing 😞. The rice has lots of clove taste in it . Bombay allo and chicken chat were perfect..thank you, but not happy with no chicken curry . delivery was quick

Food was super late! Kinda not worth waiting for by the time it came

Extremely unhappy with the order, missing 2 items which store did send out(shame it took nearly another hour for a naan and pilau rice, by which point the first part of the order was cold). Onion bhajis were burnt and rock hard. Chicken tikka massala tased like biryani and the keema naan had next to zero filling. They should be closed down, stay away from them.

Fantastic food with fast delivery. Love that bhuna chicken curry. Will ordering again. 👍

Expensive lamb korma for 8 small pieces. Won't be ordering from here again, sauce was like soup as well. Terrible portions

Our second time eating here, first was a couple months ago. We got two lamb dishes, same as last time. The curry sauce was very good and tasty, but unlike last time the lamb was a bit dry and chewy. Last time it had been slow cooked to perfection and was fresh, this time it was either really overcooked or not fresh. Will try again though in hopes it goes back to the first time!

I have ordered so many awesome takeaways from this place, finally made time to go there and have a dine in experience. Guess what, there is little difference between take away and dine in prices. Also, the food was so far superior coat fresh for us. Never had such great service, friendliness and hospitality in a restaurant like this before. They could not do enough for us It's a no-brainer you got to try this place

Delivery service was five star along with food, amazing as usual.

Thank you KING BALTI for the offter "Cobra beer" 🍻

Loved this restaurant and would recommend and next I will all my friends and family it is probably one the best Indian you could have in Caerphilly the staff were very nice and met the owner who is also very nic

Excellent food and value for money. Speedy delivery especially for a Friday night.

Food was very tasty. Kids loved that chicken pakora. Order soon again..

Food was late and cold I didn’t pay £27 to microwave our food, first and last time I order

Food was really good !!! I enjoyed the food !!! 🥰

Too much sugar/sweet...parata was not cooked properly was wet when opened...not recommended for delivery

Amazing food, 1 of nicest we've tried in a very long time definitely recommend

Ordere through Uber eats for first time .food was 2 hours late we spent £33.had half our order .phoned up several times during delivery to be told it’s 5 minutes away every time.was told by restaurant I would get £15 refund within 3 days.found out I should have complained to Uber eats within 2 days.they obviously knew this.won’t touch this restaurant or use Uber eats again .king balti are thieving lying cheats

The quality was poor overall. The curry’s were not as good as expected and will not be comming back after the poor food.

Popped in as had a 2 for 1 on my taste card. Mixed tandoori starter for 2 was great. Filled me up a bit too much so couldn't finish my mains, garlic chicken biriyani and a lamb makhani. Both delicious. Took them home or lunch tomorrow. Will be back soon.

Really really really disappointed last night. Food arrived earlier than the scheduled time. But unfortunately this was the only good thing. I order here all the time for my Indian food never been let down before. Onion bhaji’s were cold and hard, missing our poppadums, rice was cold. Masala was Luke warm at best with the chicken rubbery. Absolutely gutted to say the least the shami kebab we also had was cold. Now after being early I didn’t expect this poor food. Feel free to message me happily t

these guys used to be great and no joy comes from writing this. only half of the order arrived, call asked for other half which arrived nearly an hour later and on arrival food was of low quality. so sad to see a good restaurant be this bad. wont be ordering from them again suggest you dont either

We were a pre booked table of 12, there were no other diners in the restaurant. We sat at 7.30pm and waited until 9pm for food to start arriving. Food was still arriving tepid to stone cold half an hour later. The front of house staff looked like lost sheep and the shouting from the kitchen seemed to do little to galvanise the staff into any sort of an organised state. Friendly guys, well presented table, but those were the only positives from this experience sadly.

Food arrived almost 3 hours after ordering. Turned up cold with no rice, chicken instead of lamb curry and the chicken was pink inside. Had to eat elsewhere after waiting all night for this food. Won't be ordering here again.

Great food. Sadly, delivery was very late, so won't order again.

Over 2 hours late and when food came ot was stone cold. Not happy

After being a loyal customer every week, placed an order at 6.30pm, it’s now 9.00pm and no delivery. I phoned the restaurant was told to hold on a minute, 5 minutes later no return by the person that answered. Finally I hang up, I have then phoned back countless times but the phone has been put of the hook ignoring all customer calls. Appalling service and zero attempt to rectify or deal with customers issues. I want a refund!

We have been waiting over 2 hours for our food and it still hasn't arrived

Ive only started eating indian recently due to a pleasant experience at this restaurant with my family. The reason i don't normaly eat it is because i dont like physical chunks if onion/pepper ect, but when i went to this restaurant the curry was smooth apart from lumps of meat which i loved! When i questioned the staff they said thats how it always comes. I've since had about 5 or 6 deliveries in around 3 months, always the same, a few vindaloos madras etc it was great. Last night ordered food at 7pm for my wife and I, wanted something soonish because she had to be up at 04:40. It took 45 mins, (we live a 5 min drive away), and when it came there were whole peppers and onions in my vindaloo. When i phoned a woman apologised and said they'l send another one up straight away, but couldn't explain to me why there were indifferences in the food. 50 mins later i phoned because still no food! Then a call back from a man this time, he was asking what was the issue, and when i explained the above to him, it was like talking to a brick wall. Told him my wife wants to go to bed, he said the driver is on his way. It took another 15 mins for the vindaloo to come back, during this time my wife was in the kitchen microwaving the other stuff gone cold. When i tasted the replacement vindaloo there was no heat or flavour, just like water. Its as if they did it on purpose. I phoned the guy to tell him and eveything i said he was just arguing! I dont think im being unreasonable when i expect the food to be the same the 7th time as the previous 6? Ive had great vindaloos from there, super hot and smooth, so why this time all the stuff is whole? Then when my smooth one came there was zero heat? I just don't get why he couldn't understsnd my point? Needless to say i wont be going there again, mostly down to the way they handled the situation, and im gutted because i liked te food up until yesterday, i thought it was a safe bet.

Wrong order sent. A few bits of chicken floating about in gravy. Wouldn't waste your money . Terrible value. Ended up in the bin. Ordered from here again by mistake. Terrible curry. Tough chicken binned it again

Excellent as always such good food and delivery perfect

Best Indian in Caerphilly town by a mile.

One work trip to Caerphilly we tried out the King Balti as it was within walking distance of the hotel. We had previously tried the Castle Gate Indian restaurant. Both myself and my colleague preferred the King Balti. Starting with crisp Poppadoms and a good chutney tray we moved onto our mains. I always have a Pathia the 1st time I visit a restaurant and their version was very good with the sauce not too sweet and a good flavour profile in every bite. One portion of rice, a naan bread and an excellent Saag Aloo side was amble accompaniment for the two of us. We had a good chat with the newish owner and staff at the end of the meal and they were very nice people, so give it a try if you are in the area.

Great food and consistently good. Chicken madras spot on guys fair play.

Lamb meat was generous in portion but taste/quality of meat wasn't good, though they did cook it very well with spices etc so you get the most out of it.

No communication wouldn't even return my telephone calls.

Ordered a korma was spicy and 3 pieces of chicken. A keeps nan that was red with no keema. Three others dishes ordered no chicken and not enough sauce . Won't b going here

Got chicken massala instead of curry. When i ve already ordered massala sauce separate. . Disappointed as i wanted something a bit spicy not sweet.

Food was nice but 50 minutes late

I was here for dinner and was not satisfied at all with the dishes/items ordered. Ordered Saag paneer, vegetable fried rice, paratha, vegetable rogan ghosh, and garlic naan. Roman gosh, we asked it spicy, and it was nowhere near to spicy. Coming to stag paneer, I've never seen saag paneer this way. It was way sweet and couldn't feel the taste of saag at all. Paratha was also very thick. Vegetable rice was also with more mushrooms than any other vegetables. Naan was only good and poppadoms at the start. The only good part was service ( a tamil guy , just to know ) Food : 3 Ambience : 3 Service : 5

Amazing quality food!! We were genuinely so impressed with the flavours of the food. The Rogan Josh was one of the best I've ever had. The lamb was cooked so well. We can't wait to order again!
