Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

I went to Akrams to celebrate my 23rd birthday with a group of friends. I was able to book the table well in advance and to confirm numbers just the night before to ensure my table was ready in time. I had balloons sent to the restaurant as decoration and these had be placed on the table before me and my 13 guests arrived. The service was quick considering there was so many of us and no mistakes were made with any of the orders. At the end of the meal one of the waiters approached my partner and asked if there was a cake for me. We had not bought one so the waiter suggested a ice cream desert with a candle. It made the night that extra bit special for me as it was completely unexpected. I was able to have a birthday photo with Mr Akram himself. We are regular visitors to Akrams, it is the best curry house we have been to and will continue to visit in the years to come!!

Had a lovely meal at the varsha last night, the food was wonderful and we will defo be going back

Where do I start with this lousy place, Waited at the counter to order food with my daughter and was totally ignored by the clowns behind the counter., although after five minutes one of the staff behind the counter spotted his friends outside and waved them in and promptly started processing their order , yep we were still ignored never mind the fact that we had patientley queued for five minutes and we were the only ones in the queue so I Guess it wasn't that hard for the staff to figure out who to serve first. Once we did eventually order , my daughters food arrived within ten minutes however mine took 30 minutes which i not really acceptable and no apology from any of the staff for the delay, Fast forward we requested the bill three times and forty minutes later it still hadn't arrived so we had to queue up again with the people waiting to order just to pay for our food. Food was average when ot eventually arrived , service was poor , staff were rude , ignorant and I would not recommend this place to any one. Word of advice walk 2 minutes up the road and sample Lahore Kebab house which is far better , staff are great and the food is much better although a little bit more pricier but quality costs extra

Nice meal, restaurant supervisor David very pleasant helped us choose a very nice wine. Food tasted like we were in Italy and the new decor is second to none. Would def recommend try soon

The bast Pizza in Birmingham is Pino PIzza

I went to duet last year near Xmas and i don’t eat large meals but the prawns in batter for a starter was delicious and the chicken korma and rice was to die for, I could not of asked for a better meal at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend

If you are looking for a no frills traditional Indian restaurant, which uses fresh ingredients and doesn't overdo the sugar and colourings etc, you can't do much better than this. Prices are very reasonable too compared to other more "trendy" places.

What a menu! Excellent service. The food surpassed expectation. Every ingredient is indulgent on the taste buds. I highly recommend!

This USED to be one of my favourite restaurants as the food is quite good although it is overly priced. Unfortunately, I will NOT be going back again. I booked a table for a birthday meal and could not be 100% sure of the numbers because it was during Ramadhan and it was proving difficult for some of my friends to commit completely. After many long conversations with the incredibly rude, inconsiderate and arrogant manager AJAY BHATIA, we finally booked a table for 12 and when due to unforeseen circumstances, only 7 of my friends could make it, the manager and some of the waiting staff treated us all with incredible disrespect. Drinks orders were taken and not brought to us, we were ignored by the staff on many occasions and to top it all, as I left the restaurant, the manager Ajay had the audacity to have a go at me! I am a business woman myself and believe me, if I spoke to my clients and treated them in the way I was treated my business would not last 5 minutes. I think Mr Bhatia needs some strong lessons in etiquette and how to excel in customer service!

Very friendly welcome and efficient service. very nice food except we weren't so fond of the Balti sauce although it must be said we asked for a lot of sauce and somewhere in this process the flavours went wrong due to too much coriander. This maybe an isolated misfortune as the restaurant is often very busy. Things we liked .... Food ,Service, Ok Prices Things we disliked.... Balti Sauce

Kafe Karachi serves very good food at very good prices. It has a take away section at the front with a very comfortable family friendly eating area to the rear. The premises also has it's own car park to the rear which can be handy. Although this is a busy take away we found the Baltis to be excellent and as good as anything we've tasted in 26 years of weekly visits to the 'Balti Triangle' and the generous portions and reasonable prices at this very friendly family run business remind us of the days before Balti became trendy. The Peri-Peri Chicken, Tandoori /Chicken Tikka , Lamb Kebabs are also highly recommended as they are always very fresh due to the high turnover in the takeaway. Things we liked....... Good Food ,Good Prices, Friendly Welcome and Efficient Service, Good Atmosphere Things we didn't like .... We couldn't find fault, Kafe Karachi does what it does very well !!!

Nothing to write home about, the usual microwaved / fried pre-prepared pub grub. It's reputation for being a top notch carvery evaporated years ago.

This may be the best kept secret in the Midlands. The Varsha cooks the best tasting Balti in Birmingham, period. That’s why me and my family keep coming back to this lovely little restaurant. Keep up the good work guys and see you all the next time I start to suffer from curry withdrawal symptoms. Tuggers.

We regularly visit the China House with our two well behaved children aged 5 and 3. The staff are efficient and friendly and the service is always excellent. The ribs really are the best you can find and we can honestly say we have never had a poor meal. If you sit by the windows check out the traditional carvings on the wall.

The Deep Caribbean Experience is a quality Caribbean Restaurant in Birmingham City Centre. This exclusive Caribbean Restaurant has friendly staff, delicious food and the service is fantastic The Restaurant is just minutes from the busy heart of Birmingham’s city centre, within walking distance from New Street Train station, Birmingham’s main theatres and the famous “Bull Ring” shopping complex. This Caribbean Restaurant is also minutes away from the National Indoor Arena, Symphony Hall, International Convention Centre and Broad Street.

We have been regulars at this restaurant for many years and have never been disappointed. The menu offers a range of dishes to cater for most tastes, from the mild korma to the hotter madras, their dishes are just amazing with a delicious blend of flavours. I have sampled many dishes and would recommend them all. The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, a small bar greets you where you can enjoy a drink while browsing the menu before going to your table. You will always get a warm welcome from a very friendly staff.

This restaurant is different to most other Indian restaurants - the choice is better and the food tastier. It's also quieter and more relaxed. Full marks all round.
