Reviews in Great Barr

i have eaten at the malt shovel on many occasions hence i have recommended my family that's why all my family are going for a birthday meal on 25.08.10

If you want excellent curries, excellent service then go to the Basmati, we found the restaurant by accident, and have not stopped going there in 5 years. The staff are excellent, they do not rush you, and the restaurant is always full, so its advisable to book, they do a takeaway service as well, either delivered or collection. Try Buffet lunch at the weekend, its a must.

This restaurant makes for a Great evenings dining and food experience without being too costly .! Ie Starters, main, sweet, plus drinks, a decent bottle of Wine and Irish coffee can be enjoyed for about 25 pounds a head.... The choice of menu and quality of food preparation is second to none here. Having sampled many of the dishes, both Curry's, baltis , and the Tandoori I cannot find any fault... The ambiance is fine, and its a pleasantly modern styled interior .... The staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful, and take time to explain the dishes if you need to ask . The wine list is more than adequate and offers plenty of choice for the discerning palette . From the moment you arrive the management, and staff make you feel welcome and aim to please on all levels . As a local dining out experience you cant fault it.... The prices are reasonable, and the menu varied, to suit all tastes... Compliments to the manager and staff for making a regular dining experience so pleasurable.. We go there quite often and will continue to do so in the future , Its Excellent ! .

Hey Michael, Spot on he don? mess about !

The best curry I've ever had!!!! I've been to many curry houses/restaurants and this beat them all hands down. You have to pay for the popadoms though. :(

Excellent food, it? been some time since I tasted Indian meal like this. Service is good, and the good thing is they have disabled facilities, which was convenient for my son. Overall i liked this place, one to go and visit.
