mikey 10 #2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Tony Ruscoe 10 #4 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lickszz 10 #7 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mawgan 10 #8 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

wearetherobots 10 #10 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.

pontious 10 #11 Posted September 1, 2003 There are tons of Indian restaurants in Sheffield that p*ss all over the Balti King! They've got where they are by spending heavily on advertising and free offers NOT by 'food' quality! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
1Man&hisBMW 10 #12 Posted September 10, 2003 To all you students out there - You might wish to consider some of the following (speaking from experience) 1. Gulshan BH (The Wicker) Also Deliver 2. Mangla (Spital Hill) Also Deliver 3. Kashmir Curry Centre (Spital Hill) Unsure of Deliveries 4. Induz (Attercliffe) Unsure of Deliveries Take Aways 1. Imrans (Wicker) 2. Kebabish (soon to be opening but if their standard of food is anything like the rest in the chain it will be a good stop). I have noticed that most of the take aways around Crookes, Broomhill etc tend to cater purely for the drunken student with quality slipping somewhat as the night progresses on after 10:30pm. 1man&hisBMW ps. I like the Z3 - although I don't have one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
