Karma Restaurant is on a stretch of the Stratford Road in Shirley, Solihull, that is so densely…read morepacked with competing eateries (particularly Indian curry houses) that it really needed to do something to capture my attention and draw me away from neighbouring businesses such as the Ashiana and Darjeeling Indian Cuisine. It did so (possibly inadvertently) by eschewing the mantra of curry houses all over the city (and the UK) that when it comes to menus, bigger is better. I've become so used to seeing curry menus with quite literally hundreds of different combinations of sauces, sides, and fillings, that seeing such a relatively small menu at the Karma restaurant immediately drew me in, as I have a general rule that if a restaurant has a small menu, then they will presumably have a lot of experience cooking the same few dishes, and therefore will be able to replicate them at a higher level of quality than a chef who cooks five dishes he's never had to before every single night, and Karma proved my theory right and then some. Their prices are in fitting with the area, with mains generally ranging from around £6.50 - £9 for eat in, and a couple of pounds less for takeaway. The interior appears slightly bare and lacking in character (if you're wanting more in this department, check out the similarly excellent Darjeeling Indian just a few doors down), but don't let that put you off, Karma Restaurant is one of the best of Birmingham's famed curry houses that I've visited.

After hearing very good reviews of the Rose of Kashmir we decided to order a takeout. We ordered a…read morebasic dish - Chicken tikka massala and some other dishes ect the tikka was pretty poor quality infact I would go as far as saying the worst takeout curry I've ever had before. It was very watery, lacking any distinct flavour and the chicken was very poor quality. It did work out good value for money but I will not be ordering from here again and would stick to local curry places.

Our meals were served in good time. It is located in the town centre so easy to access by bus or car. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

Great if you're looking for somewhere to go for a quiet meal.

The restaurant is on Kings Norton Green, a lovely area which is sadly neglected when it comes to good places to eat (Mollie's Cafe is an exception). Obviously the fine people of Kings Norton agree with me as on the two occasions we have been the restaurant has been bursting at the seams. The decor is very modern, service is good, the menu is extensive (i mean extensive - lots of chef's specials) and the food superb. Cost is very reasonable - a meal for 5 with starters, mains, sides, poppadoms and drinks (a mixture of alcoholic and non alcoholic) came to £133 so less than £30 each. This has quickly become a Go To place for those of us living on the south-west side of the city and it beats the curry houses in Stirchley hands down. They also do a Sunday buffet for £9.95 per person - havent been to that so cant comment on it though!

This is one of the most stylish Indian restaurants to be found outside the city centre…read more The look of the place lets you know what you're in for. The interior is decked out in stylish woods and deep red walls, with authentic musical instruments from the Middle East dotted around the place. The tone is stylish and grown-up, which is why the restaurant is popular with everybody - private diners, large parties and corporate events. For my hubby and I, Kismet was the perfect setting for a romantic meal for two. I went for the Chicken Tikka Balti, which positively sizzled as it was delivered to our table. At just under £7 I found this to be really reasonable and I paid an extra £1 so I could get my hands on some lovely mushrooms. What a great evening, I only wish Kismet were closer to my home. The service was great, their fully licensed bar satisfied our needs and we came out wishing we hadn't driven. I've said it once, but I'll say it again, you'll struggle to find anywhere else this sophisticated outside of the city centre.

It's a quaint family eatery with simplistic and clean decor, and polite yet reserved staff. There is some parking outside although side-street parking is plentiful. It's also a take-away, so as you enter there is an Indian sweets counter. If you dine in, you have a vast range of dishes to choose from at very reasonable prices. I often order a variety of snacks to eat a tapas-style meal, which gives you the opportunity to try out numerous dishes with a rich blend of flavours. But favourites are the chilli paneer and spicy mogo chips! Don't be put off if you're a keen meat-eater - so am I! But Jyoti's is testament to how varied and delicious vegetarian food can be.

We quickly received poppadoms and chutneys which were fantastic, the raita and mango chutney very tasty and the onions and onions in red chilli sauce equally so, with just enough for us, though I did end up scraping the pots! Drinkswise, the waiter was good at telling us exactly which beers they had on tap and bottled, asking what I liked and giving us his recommendations. This happened again with our mains, my mother was having trouble choosing between a couple of dishes, so he asked what she usually had and liked and quickly narrowed her choices down. We enjoyed our starters and mains, like the other reviewer I was a little disappointed with the heat of my curry - I chose a combination (CT Pathia and Lamb Jalfrezi) which were both labelled as fairly hot, but to me they were mild/medium, though still tasty. I found the rice and nan to be good quality on this occasion. The waiters were very attentive and overall we had a good time and would probably go again, especially as the bill was very reasonable for the large portion sizes, though next time I'll make sure I ask for more chillis in my curry!

My first impressions were actually good but after that I unfortunately can't find much to recommend the Flute. The sheek kebab looked fine with pleasant presentation but it was virtually tasteless. In fact it was probably the blandest thing I have eaten in a long time. It may have been a one off except my main course had a similar trait. I like my food very tasty and slightly hot; a quick chat with the waiter and the choice was CT Sag Madras. Again it was "thin" and lacked both heat & taste. The accompanying rice, chips & nan were very average as was the the Indian lager. I wish I had been told about the bottled Bathams bitter they had in the fridge. As for the decor, it's not my choice of colours and the painting is very rough around the edges. Service was quick, a little too quick but as my chair was hard I wouldn't have wanted to have been seated much longer. The restaurant was quite busy, predominantly full of ladies all of which seemed to be having masalas & kormas - say no more. 2.5 Stars but well done for supporting local brewers.
