Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Shame we however can’t get down and dirty after, as i have to sit...on the toilet for about 45minutes afterwards! The ring starts stringing. But never the less, Worth it!More

Went for an early evening curry with family. Service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. Had to ask for a “doggy bag” as the portions were large! Enough for another meal over the next couple of days. Go and enjoy a great curry.

Returned to the Balti King while in Totnes after our first visit a year ago and found the same excellent quality and value. The owner/ staff are friendly, the poppadums were nice and crisp, and our meals were piping hot, tasty and large in portion....Don't be put off by the rather unusual old historic building, the food is excellent and prices are very reasonable.More

I’ve been going to the Balti King for years and it is my favourite choice for a curry in the area. Love the vibe in there and Simon is a fantastic host. A good proper cosy curry house in the heart of Totnes. The takeaways...are consistent too. I would recommend: Chicken Pathia. It’s not too sweet and very rich in flavour. All in all: a brilliant spot. 5/5.More

Food was tasteless and bland. Poor quality and probably one of the worst I have ever eaten. The restaurant was dirty and shabby. A complete waste of money .

Ordered while we were out and about to pick up at 7.30pm on Sunday for a group of 8. Everything was available on time, and delicious. In fact there was so much food, it lasted us until the next day also. Great service, great food

This restaurant might have 0% kerb appeal, be on the shabby and dated side décor wise inside, but do not be put off dining here. The food was very tasty and served by friendly staff. The menu covers all those traditional dishes you would expect...from an Indian restaurant. So, if you are in Totnes looking for that big spicy hit, Balti King will deliver dishes to satisfy your cravings.More

Visited the Balti King last week, an unusual building for an Indian restaurant but don't let that put you off. Being early in the week, the eat-in part of the restaurant was not very busy although they were much busier with takeaways. Despite this, service...was quick, staff were friendly, our poppadums were crisp and our meals delicious, with large portions. Very reasonably priced too, highly recommended.More

we had been put off even going IN to the Balti king because of the terrible messy ( dirty) window and unwelcoming entrance. Inside - like a Tardis - nice kind attentive staff, good food, reasonable value. very quiet. Could be MUCH busier if you...redesigned and cleaned up the entrance!!More

Awful food, seemed like microwaved shop bought, tasteless mush. Also different price if paying by card or cash which I had never come across before. Not much else to add.

I use Balti King regularly I totally trust it High hygiene standards, quick preparation and the Paneer and Hot-Sour Dishes are tasty and filling - Love their lemon and garlic rice sides, too The staff are very personable, they take the time and trouble to...remember your name and recommend things for you, when you can't decide what you want. I also like that they are friendly without crowding you, so you feel you can go in there and have a proper chat with whoever you are with. I would not consider any other Indian food - it has to be The King!More
