    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.

    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.
