   ry delicious food and no waiting time. We ordered the mix grill, chicken karahi and pulao — all in good quantity and worth the money. They also offer options for spice levels, which is great. The service was okay, but the staff could have a slightly better attitude. The restaurant is spacious, but there’s no parking available nearby. Overall, a good dining experience.

   Last days, we went there for dinner at a highly recommended restaurant. It is a fabulous place with a cozy ambiance and modern caligraphy artwork decorating the walls, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decoration is truly stunning, with intricate designs and vibrant colors that catch the eye. We really enjoyed their delicious, flavorful food, which includes a variety of traditional and contemporary dishes. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff making us feel welcome. Inshaallah, we plan to visit again soon to enjoy it once more.

   My recent visit to this restaurant was a tale of two halves. On the one hand, some of the food was genuinely impressive. The sheek kebab was a standout fresh, tender, and perfectly seasoned. I also really enjoyed the keema curry, which was rich and flavorful, and the chicken tikka biryani, which was very tasty. Even the naan bread was excellent, arriving hot and fresh, just the way it should be. Unfortunately, the positives were overshadowed by a few disappointing aspects. The service was slow right from the start, seated upstairs we waited far too long before even placing our order, and I had to call the waiter over multiple times. That lack of attentiveness carried on throughout the meal. The biggest letdown, though, was the chapli kebab. It arrived cold and didn’t taste fresh, which was especially frustrating given how good some of the other dishes were. Overall, I found the food to be inconsistent and the service disappointingly slow. While there were definitely highlights, the long wait times and poor quality of the chapli kebab left me feeling frustrated.

   The mixed grill was exceptionally flavorful, with each item cooked to perfection. The sheesh kebabs were truly the best I’ve had in Birmingham, packed with authentic taste and perfectly seasoned. The lamb chops were tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor, while both the chicken and lamb tikka were absolutely flawless – a solid 10/10. Salad was fresh and still held its shape not sloppy or droopy at all! The restaurant environment was spotless, comfortable, and welcoming, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere for families and groups alike. A special mention goes to Khurram, our waiter, who delivered exceptional service. He was incredibly respectful, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His professionalism and friendly demeanor truly enhanced our overall experience – an absolute asset to the team. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for top-quality food and outstanding service in Birmingham.

   The name is very appropriate. Never does this place disappoint. Sheekh kebabs served fresh with complimentary chicken tikka, both our curries were fantastic so was the tandoori roti and garlic naan. A meal for 4 costs just over £40. Exceptional value for money.

   Their food was great. The Cod Fish Karhai is my absolute favorite, specially with the mint sauce, and the Seekh Kebab were good too. I’ve also tried their Chargha and Masala Fish, both of which were tasty. And while the food here is always good, their service is the problem. The lady serving us was very hospitable but there is a lack of coordination between the kitchen and the servers as they seem understaffed. Also, they only accept cash, so if you are used to paying by card, make sure to carry cash when going here.

   Amazing food, best curry I’ve had in years. So fresh, took a while to cook but you can tell why. Not just reheated but felt like it was made from scratch. Price was great. No alcohol which was fine.
