    Fantastic food and service. A true hidden gem that I’m so glad I found. Anytime I’m back in Birmingham again, I’ll be sure to head back.

    Really nice place came recommended by a local friend. It is a separate room in an old fashioned pub which gives it a unique feel, lovely ambience and great staff who were sensitive to my girlfriends nut allergy and went through the menu with a fine tooth comb. Food was delicious we would definitely come back if we’re back in Birmingham.

    Very welcoming, good standard restaurant. A very different type of food, not normal Indian options. Very minimistic portions, however very tasty.

    Fabulous food as normal, noise level was a little high but the room is all hard surfaces so echoes. Service is friendly and faultless. Could the portion of Papdis be larger, it's not enough for three people, happy to pay more. Also, we treated the starters as a tapas meal but we don't require them all at the same time please! Otherwise it was great. Back again very soon.

    Food is (a) excellent and (b) not just your standard Indian dishes. In particular the chicken 65 is excellent if you can handle spice. The service was unparalleled. Attentive, charming, but not overbearing.

    You have to try the Cauliflower dish but I'm sure the waiter will highlight the best dishes. At least they did for us.

    Once inside the restaurant , which is at the back of a pub , the ambience is lovely . A very special find. Our second visit here and a must when we visit Birmingham Hippodrome and need a pre theatre meal. Great attentive service . Fabulous food cooked to order. Lovely range of Indian / Asian food. Wish we lived closer !!
