It also lies adjacent to Cannon Hill Park which is one of Birmingham's premier parks being used for a number of interesting events. I prefer restaurants' and take away's to serve only one style of food which adds to the authenticity and quality of the food. Ming's serve both Thai and Cantonese, which are quite different cuisines, so it becomes confusing and each cuisine is created in half measures. Luckily the starter I ordered of Tom Yum Goong Thai soup was delicious, light, fresh and flavoursome. The aromatic crispy duck was nice even though I don't usually eat duck, I enjoyed this. I had a duck for 7.50. All in all not a bad experience.

Unfortunately, my experience here has been somewhat short-lived. Their food is delicious and value for money. I suppose the prices reflect the target market, which are probably Birmingham University students who live in the student halls accommodation opposite. My common complaint about Chinese takeaway is the excessive salt and grease, but I didn't have this problem here! However, I did have problems with the owners. The last time I visited, I was with my brother. He was placing an order but the owner couldn't understand what he was saying. So were pointing at the menu and asking questions about the portion sizes. To our disbelief, we were snapped at and told that we were barred because we were apparently mocking the man! It's a shame they lost some loyal customers over a pitiful misunderstanding.

Now in our tenth year, little has changed besides the tablecloths. You can expect friendly service, cheap main courses, decent menu covering all the classics and a free 1/3 shot of Baileys (or generic brand) Irish cream when you're done. It's bring your own booze which adds to the value for money (News and Booze just up the street or the garage across the road should have you covered) and seems to stay open reasonably late. For me this is a standard cheap curry house done well. I love it.

Valentines night I had my usual stuffed mushroom starter and my partner had mixed tandoori girl. Both dishes were tasty served with fresh salad For main he had a combination dish chicken and lamb. I don't recall names but he wolfed it down along with lemon chilli rice and chips. I had talapia fish, with mushroom rice and a bullet nan. My fish portion was huge cooked to perfection in a fragrant delicate sauce. The bullet nan hit the spot with fresh chopped chilli and garlic The bill came with complementary after 8 mint and a shot of something similar to baileys. An altogether very enjoyable meal with attentive staff happy to pamper to our every need. Would recommend if your ever in town have a meal here.

First off, I love the name of this establishment. Jumbo is a great word because it makes me smile…read moreand invokes childish connotations; one's accepted by the super-ego. This is Cantonese food at its very best. I was lucky enough to go to Hong Kong and the cuisine there varied from street vendors to posh restaurants and I ate in them all. The food at Jumbo represents the finer style of the food I sampled in Hong Kong. They offer a free delivery service within a 2 mile radius; otherwise there is a 1.50 delivery charge. I'd recommend getting on your bike or putting on your walking shoes, we live in hard times. The prices at Jumbo are fair. They offer vegetarian set meals at 18 quid for 2 people, trust me it is worth it. If you are having a party with 4 gusts or you are a hungry family then they do a set menu for 37 quid. A tenner each for a meal you will remember.

Fortunately, Jumbo is one of those gems that, once you've discovered, you never look back. I went to Beijing last year, so, frankly, have been spoiled by proper, authentic Chinese cuisine which makes our UK version taste like plastic in comparison. I was pleased, therefore, to discover Jumbo, which tastes more similar to anything I had in Beijing than anything else I've had in terms of takeaways. In particular, I would recommend the Kung Po chicken - nice and spicy and slightly more complex. The staff are lovely as well, and we all particularly appreciate their little nativity scene at Christmas. Slightly random for a Chinese takeaway, but a nice touch.

Recently the running of and cooking in this store has passed onto the next generation in the same family and at first the chicken curry just wasn't the same. We've grown up with having it served on the bone. However, after a little guidance from my Dad this speciality is back to its normal wonderfulness. Their other dishes are just as good and we also often order the lemon chicken. All of the food is excellent and served up quickly and fairly cheaply. It is just a takeaway and there is no delivery but if you are passing by I highly recommend.

The poppadums, mint yoghurt and onion salsa you receive when you first arrive are complimentary. The menu is fantastic. you can get your standard baltis, korma's etc here but they have a fantastic range of very authentic dishes. And the price of the dishes never exceed about £7-8 so it is very affordable. The food is cooked to perfection, you can request changes in your meal and as long as it wont alter the taste to much they will be more than happy to accomodate. The restaurant is unlicensed but this makes for a very pleasant experience, as you do not encounter drunks coming in after closing hours after a pint and vindaloo. (There is an off license 2 mins walk away so can take your own drink in) The restaurant decor is very comtempoarary and the young owners are very pleasant to talk to. I am really sad that I do not live in Acocks Green anymore, purely as I miss Imlee's but I do make special trips to see them now and again. If you enjoy real Indian cuisines please go there you will not be disappointed!!!
