“ Some of the best Indian food I’ve had outside of brick lane. Genuinely excellent every time I order. Only ever had delivery so can’t comment on the restraint; but the food is sublime! Delivery can take 1hour so prepare in advance. ”
“ Absolutely, incredibly, spectacularly good! The Balti chicken tika massage is bloody spectacular and, without doubt, the best Indian dish I have ever eaten. Go nowhere else, this is better ”
“ I have come to Exeter staying over for work purposes and Mr Shohid and other staff at Curry King has provided me with excellent service and communication every time I have phoned up to place an order, the food is always hot and good quality. ”
“ Had a couple of takeaways in the last 22 months that weren’t quite up to their normal standards but back to their best this weekend. Nice food and good value. Never eaten in the restaurant so can’t comment on service. Used to be extremely busy on Saturdays but I take this to be a good sign. Rather wait for good food than be served up tasteless tosh in 5 minutes. ”
“ Had an enjoyable curry here, which was excellent value for money. Portions were generous and the menu offered a good range of options. Whilst this wasn't the best curry I'd ever had, it was affordable and plentiful, which after a few beers, really hit the spot. ”
“ Great place to get a takeaway. Really nice food. Have not dined in the available restaurant so can't comment on this. ”
“ Ordered a takeaway from here while staying in a hotel. I was amazed by how good the food was from here. I often stop off in Exeter for food when driving to Cornwall, but I will make sure to stop here as my favourite place from now. Really delicious. ”
