Reviews in Kings Heath

Good meal reasonable price Downside to my recent visit was hearing Some of the staff discussing how they were getting paid cash in hand whilst cheating the benefits system! Come on guys its just not fair on the Millon's of taxpayers in this country!

Really good quality of food, staff were very polite and friendly. I recommend it to anyone and everyone :)

I moved into the local area so I decided to drop by this place as my neighbour's had recommended it. The bald headed man who serverd me was rude and didnt look very smart. The food was good though we did enjoy it even if it was quite expensive but worth it. shame about the service but it was worth checking the place out.

We landed on this restaurant randomly and have to say it was the best Indian meal I have ever had.Lovely decor and the food was presented in lovely modern plates and dishes.Excellent service and good value for money.We will go again.!

We went to D-spice, looks good from inside, the owner Mr Shah, is a liar of many stories and was to busy looking down at my girlfriends breasts. The food smelt good but was nasty, we will not be going there again....please spread the word.....Mr Shah had hands in his pocket when he was looking at my girlfriend the dirty B*******!

Simply the best in Birmingham! And I've eatenat some of the best, not just the better one'son Ladypool Road or in Moseley.You will have to pay more than double to getanything nearly as good anywhere else.

Have eaten here several times now , it is the best Indian cuisine i have tasted for a very long time , the decor and ambiance is excellent, the staff are really freindly , I promise if you give it a try you will go back ....

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now (in 3 weeks) and it is absolutely brilliant. Decor is definitely not tacky (it's all a question of taste). The food really is extremely good - the garlic chilli chicken is the best I've ever had. It is unbelievably good value and you can even take your own booze, which is very unusual for a licensed place. The restaurant does have a very good wine selection though and the draft lager is apparently better than most pubs - according to my husband (and only £2.50 a pint). The owner, Mr Shah, and staff are great and nothing is too much trouble for them. Lovely place all round. Their Christmas Day menu is too good to be true - I couldn't get my breath! It is still comparatively new but will soon be one of the most sought after restaurants in the area.

Been going since it opened. I have gone with friends and work mates on different days and times and the food and service has been impecable. The owner has made us feel very special. The menu is varied which is lovely , I would deffo recommend and evening their as you will not be dissapointed as the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Try it and have a lovey orthentic night out !! B Suzanne

excellent staff brilliant service and the food was amazing, would recommed it to anyone

I've been a regular since the opening, the menu is more varied than some other local indian restraunts and it's consistantly excellent quality.The tandoori mixed grill is the best I've had to date!

This is a fantastic curryhouse, the staff are friendly and attentive, and really welcoming of families. The menu is really varied but the aubergine side dish is one of the nicest things I have ever eaten! Decor a bit tacky but food fabulous.

Food was great but the service was absolutely horrendous. My husband and I had purchase a voucher through KGB deals for 3 courses for £15, and called to book on a Saturday evening. We were told we could bring our own wine or purchase drinks at their bar. Upon arriving, we were met by a member of the team who welcomed us warmly, only to then be confronted with the Manager of D Spice who accusingly said to us we had to book if using the deal. When both I and the waiter explained that we had booked he stormed off. After checking with the waiter that we were ok to bring our own wine, the manager came over and told us that as we were using the KGB deal we could not have our own wine (glasses full at this point). His manner was rude and aggressive and even after explaining that we had checked twice with various members of staff he reluctantly left us to it. The table next to us were also KGB voucher clients and we both sat there in disarray at the rudeness of the manager. Having ordered their starters, the manager brought them over to the adjacent table and gave one lady her food, however the delivery chap turned up and her food was then left on a side table while he spoke to him. Needless to say, her food was only warm when she received it. Another thing that seemed unusual was that the food deliveries were actually carried out by a taxi firm, with the manager explaining to the clients on the phone not to pay the taxi man. Seeing as there were 4 front of house staff on that night, none of which were apparently trusted to do anything (the manager answered the phone, dealt with deliveries, took orders and served food), it seemed strange that none of these could be delegated with this task. We didn't want to stay for dessert so left and will most definitely not be returning. As a new business, I would expect the staff to be attentive, helpful and pleasant. However, with the exception of the waiter that saw us into the building, we were treated terribly and as though because we had a voucher we were not worthy of decent customer service. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday night, with no music or atmosphere. Really disappointed and would not recommend to anyone.

Been going here for about 25 years, previous owner had constant high quality food, John started of well well, but must say the quality have serious gone down hill, a pity use to be a good chip shop.

Good food A++++

Wonderful food, superb quality, as good as many so-called top-end restaurants that I've been to. Excellent value for money too!

Had a fantastic meal last Friday. As a restaurant owner myself, who no longer lives in Birmingham, I asked around for a recommendation and found the spice merchants. We had a one year old with us and the staff provided a high chair and plastic tub for rice and could not have been more obliging. There were dishes that stood above the usual Balti selections such as vegetable Sambar, Lamb Gulbarg and a ' Gourmets choice' of sizzling meats from the oven. The chili fish had a deep and flavoursome chili burn. The food was not too oily and well presented by friendly staff. The menu also offers a chefs speciality which is a welcome addition to often formulaic Indian menus and there were interesting kashmiri specialities too. Can't wait to return and this restaurant provides more evidence that Kings Heath is an up and coming area to dine in. James Taylor, Owner Chantek Restaurant, Truro, Cornwall

Service was OK but the food was less than average - due in part, I suspect, to the amount of time the chef seemed to spend outside the kitchen talking to everyone present rather than actually cooking!
