Absolutely delicious food! We were warmly greeted and had excellent service here…read more There is a large menu on the table so can seem overwhelming but you only need to look for your favorite protein or vegetable and then select the style of dish. We had lamb tikka and complementary poppadoms with chutney to start. Meat was tender and mildly flavorful. For the mains we enjoyed the Hairy Biker chicken special which was super smoky delicious. The okra / ladyfingers Balti style was full of flavor on top pilau rice. The garlic naan was a generous portion but if you have a large group go for the table naan. Gigantic! Prices were reasonable, under £30 for all this food. Enough for 2-3 people. Casual setting and quick service.

The desserts, in particular, are disappointing--my tiramisu lacked depth and had a gross refrigerator taste. The service is average at best. It takes forever for anyone to take your order, and there is zero follow up throughout the meal. If you're looking for great social media pictures, Tipu Sultan fits the bill. However, for truly fresh food with complex flavors, Shere Khan's is where it's at.

I think I am going to say it…read more.. This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Birmingham City Centre! Manzil's is situated about a minutes walk from the Bull Ring and people in the know who know about curry know what I am talking about with this place. When you walk in, you are met with a homely and friendly atmosphere which makes it a delight to eat in. It's an old school curry house which I love. I really like the wallpaper! I have got to know the waiters as I have visited so many times, who are really chatty and are always happy to see you. If you see Hakeem, he loves his Football! The music they play is so random and unexpected. The last visit I made, they were playing Britpop hits of the 1990's haha On this visit, I was with 4 friends from down south who were visiting me for the day, who are tough critics I may add! I had the Chicken Pakora which was a great starter and just the right size to begin the meal. For the main course I had a lovely Dhansak which was really filling with Pilau rice. Manzil's speciality is their sizzling dishes which provides a good alternative if you are not in the mood for a hearty curry. The biggest surprise came when the bill arrived and we split it. One of my friends said "That price wouldn't even get you a starter which isn't half as good as that in London." Says it all really!

I'd put it down to them doing more sales via delivery. But judging by the reviews of this place it's not a well kept secret. I was brought her as a 'proper curry virgin' by experiences prior had been out of a jar and pub curries. According to a friend this was unacceptable, so off we went. I can't remember what I ordered. I know it was vegetarian and not spicy - I can't do spicy as much as I try. You get a lot for your money, going for an Indian can be an expensive affair but this was reasonable by the amount of food received. The service as well is excellent, always smiling and helpful. I really must go again, I whole heartedly suggest the rest of you do too.
Great little Indian restaurant…read more Went here with a group-on deal and usually with those deals the places you go to give you a special menu and make you feel like a second class diner. We didn't get that with this place. We had a large choice on the menu with the deal and for a couple of extra quid could order anything not covered. I had a King Prawn dish and my mate has one of the Chicken dishes, plus we had nan and rice. The prawns were a good size and the both dishes very tasty. Not much chilli at all too, which i liked. The décor is modern, rich in purples and brown, and the room is fairly small. Be good for a groups of 5-6 max in the booths. Definitely would go again.

It's in close…read moreproximity to Broadstreet, New Street train station and even has the Radisson Hotel pretty much directly opposite. So on a night out in Birmingham city centre there's no excuse not to check it out. In fact one of the only problems could be spotting it, as it is located above a fast food restaurant, however don't allow that to deter you as the experience and the meal are not to be missed. They do all the curry classics and as well as that have the beer on tap so there's no need to lug around a carrier bag full of cans if you're after a beer or two to wash down your food. As well as that they offer discounts for party bookings which include more than five people, which is great news if you are out with a bunch of mates. Overall another great example of Birmingham's brilliant curry scene.
One of my favourite places to eat curry is at Grameen Khana on Ladypool Road…read more The food is consistently good and they offer a range of Bangladeshi dishes that I haven't seem in other restaurants. Chot Poti is a great vegetarian starter dish (although you'll be struggling to eat all of your main course after). It's a chick pea dish with plenty of chilli and toped with crispy onions and egg. The Desi roast is excellent too; the chicken just falls off the bone. The selection of main courses is great. The specials offer something a little different Shobji Chicken and the Chicken Sashlick Bhuna are great as is the Grameen Special Chicken Balti. Our favourite lamb dish is the Haleem which is like a stew with really soft slow-cooked lamb. You can bring your own drinks and there is an off-license right next door. The Decor is contemporary and spotlessly clean. There is an indoor waterfall and a TV that is usually showing a Bollywood film but without sound. The staff are generally pleasant and efficient. They have a remote control buzzer contraption on the table so you can request service, drinks (non alcoholic) or your bill.
Grameen Khana stands out as a relatively new addition to the Ladypool and let's face it, if you're…read morea curry house on the Ladypool Road standing out is an important part of distinguishing yourself from the many curry houses on offer. Grameen is distincive with it's brightly lit green livery and super fancy water features, giving it a very modern and luxurious appearance. Turns out the place is Bangladeshi and so searching for a bit of authenticity I ordered from the fish menu. After the waiter corrected me on my Bangladeshi pronounciation and warned that this particular dish contained bones, I had the option of going for a more familair choice but stuck to my guns and went with the fish dish, much to the combined admiration and consternation of my fellow diners. A large TV played on the back wall be it muted and the water feature really was quite a novel touch which did attract our eye whilst waiting for our food. The fish dish arrived and was tasty and well marinated, working through the bones, I enjoyed the fleshy bits and we all traded dishes to compliment or query each others choices. What we did notice was that a large Bangladeshi family had take the table at the rear and this was another endorsement of Grameen Khana along with the tasty grub.

I decided I would go for a mixed kebab starter (which was probably the highlight of the meal) and a lamb kebab balti with garlic naan....as I wasn't going out after...or it could have been a disastrous choice haha. The curry was good but having asked for something slightly hotter it wasn't hitting the spot. It was still relatively mild....if I came here again I think I would go for a madras or hotter. So just a note....conservative spice levels. The service could not have been better and the prices seem sound. It worked out at around £100 for 6 of us to all have a starter and a main and just a huge note..... BYOB - Bring your own booze. These wondrous unlicensed places need to be celebrated!! I'd say if you are looking for a relatively cheap curry house with A -OK food this is a great shout.

Upon entering we were immediately seated and brought poppadoms and a selections of dips and pickles, all of which were very tasty. Our drinks order was then taken too. I found the service very efficient. The place was very clean and nicely decorated, which gave it a nice atmosphere and made me want to return again. I ordered Mushroom Puri as a starter, which was absolutely delicious and had a gentle kick to it and for my main I had a Rogan Josh veg balti. It didn't take too long for everyone's food to be ready and it was wonderful, perhaps slightly hotter than I expected it to be, but it was very tasty. We had a table nan too and it was huge as you'd expect but very nice!! I would definitely recommend this place: great food, great service and lovely atmosphere!

Saba is a very nice family-owned Persian restaurant in Moseley…read more Their menu is very reasonably priced, with incredibly large portions and really friendly management and staff! The Kebab Kobedah (ground lamb) is delicious, as are the many assorted starters served with naan bread- I especially enjoyed the mast o khyar (yoghurt with cucumber) and mirza qasemi (a smoked aubergine and garlic dish). If you fancy tea after your meal, they do a lovely Persian tea service. The tea is really strong! Great for large groups-- I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Moseley, or looking for excellent home-cooked Persian food in Birmingham!
Saba is a local, family owned Persian restaurant…read more The food here is absolutely fantastic. I got a lamb shank with rice, raisins, and carrots. The lamb shank that came with my food was huge (I took the left overs home with me and got 2 extra meals out of it), so keep that in mind if that's what you're going to order. Although, the owner mentioned that he may be speaking to his butcher about getting smaller lamb shanks because it was a bit difficult to eat due to it's size. I was at a table with 6 people, who all got different dishes (all more reasonable sizes that the lamb shank), and not a single person was disappointed. We finished off the meal with some Persian tea, which the owner was kind enough to offer us free of charge (probably because we were a large group). Throughout the meal the server (who I think was also the owner) was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend Saba to anyone in Mosley! In fact, it's good enough that if you don't live in Mosley, it's really worth taking a trip to eat here.
Persian tea.
GIANT lamb shank! With carrots and raisins, yum!

"THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I'VE EVER HAD*" - my husband…read more Yep, that's his quote. I'm a little snobbier by saying "the best Indian food I've had outside India" (*he hasn't been to India). But in all seriousness, it was delicious. While walking down the canals of Birmingham, we smelled something wonderful and turned to each other simultaneously with eyes wide and both instantly knew what the other was thinking: "we need to eat that". There is something wonderful about smelling delicious flavours and then getting to eat those flavours. We had the vindaloo and a biryani. Of course we had naan and samosas (duh). The menu had a lot of options (almost too many!?) but we went with our standard favourites and were not disappointed. As far as service goes, we have no complaints. It was a quiet Sunday night, so we got fast and friendly service from the whole staff. I think they thought we were a coupla boozers cuz they did seem a little judgey when I got to my 3rd glass of wine. But, ya know, after the 3rd glass you don't really care what people think, right? The only regret I have is that we discovered this on our last night in town and couldn't go back for seconds! Oh, forgot to mention the awesome location right above the canal - great views, beautiful scenery.

Thanks to all the Yelpers who provided recommendations!! The location is good, although I reckon there is a fortune to be made selling car parks in the area - seriously they are rare as rockinghorse droppings. Ambience was nice and the staff very accommodating - we were first sat next to a large very noisy group that made it tough for us as two of three at the table were hard of hearing, however the staff were very happy to shift us and we sat in a nice quiet corner. Wednesday night and they were pretty busy, so suggest booking for weekends. Cobra on tap, good wine list from around the world, and passable cocktails. :-D Poppadums and dips to start while we went through the enormous menu! Chefs Sizzler starter is great - bit of all the Tandoori meats, and we followed with Balti Chicken (of course) and two other curries which I could not name - a lamb and a prawn. All in all the meal was excellent, the naan bread possibly the best I have eaten, the roti thin and crispy, and all the curries well flavoured and spiced. Wish we were in town longer so we could do more of the menu! Recommended.
I found this place by looking for Indian restaurants with plenty of vegan options. Indeed, their…read moremenu makes it pretty clear what is or can be vegan. We arrived around 6pm on a Thursday for dinner, and the place was dead. The interior is fancifully set up, and service is very friendly and professional. We ordered: -Vegan tofu curry (£12.50). This was a creamy, mustardy curry, with chunks of firm tofu (seemingly to resemble paneer), drizzled with coconut milk. Rich, creamy, tangy and balanced. Really nicely done. 4.5/5 -Tawa sabzi (£10). This was a drier dish coated with a mustardy curry paste, with cauliflower, potatoes, green beans and peas. The curry has a bit of a sour tang to it but was well-done. 4/5 -Methi aloo gobi (£10). This was also a drier dish, with a fenugreek-driven curry paste coating the cauliflower and potatoes. It was quite similar to the Tawa sabzi, with that sour tang to it. Also well-done but it was too similar to the aforementioned dish. 4/5 We asked for a spiciness level "just above" what they would ordinarily make, and man was it spicy -- not too much for us but bordering that. Overall, tasty food, great service and a pleasant environment. Recommended.
I wish to caution somebody willing to book in an event with Itihaas, Birmingham. I had a terrible…read moreexperience in trying to recover a deposit refund during COVID and eventually ended in losing £ 3,000 in the process. I had booked a Wedding Event for 300 guests to be held in August 2020. We paid £6000 as a deposit for the catering and venue. It was paid by 2 credit cards @3000 each by me and the bride's mother. Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled with mutual consent due to COVID regulations. As per the prevailing government regulations we were entitled to a full refund barring some expenses incurred by the merchant in the process. We were given a list of expenses incurred amounting to £1494 which were highly manipulated and unreal. We were charged £ 200 for a food tasting event which never happened and charged for the time spend in e-mails, telephone conversation and venue viewing. These, we believed were a part of overhead expenses and were not permissible as expenses incurred by the merchant. We did not receive any services and were entitled to full refund. We still offered a liberal £ 500 to close the dispute but was declined . We were offered a truncated refund of £ 4506 out of £ 6000 as an unconditional offer in April 2020. We had no other option to seek justice and to apply for a charge back from our credit card providers. The process of chargeback was prolonged due to COVID shutdown, and we eventually recovered £ 3000 from one of the credit card providers. Unfortunately, the other credit card providers could not recover our deposit due to delayed and poor representation. We were already frustrated by the ongoing saga and eventually asked Itihaas to honour the initial unconditional offer and pay us the balance of £ 1506 . To our surprise the management refused to pay the balance on the grounds that we used a charge back to seek justice and recover our dues. The management decided to pocket a sum of £ 1506 which was initially offered in the conflict unconditionally. This was extremely appalling, and we felt cheated by the Itihaas management. I will strongly recommend anybody willing to book an event to think twice. You are in for an ordeal and could end up in losing a lot of money.

At first sight of walking into this place it looked quite authentic, I'm not sure what I thought of the fake decorative tree in the middle of the restaurant but it certainly was different. First of all, it was 8pm and the place was empty, we were the only ones in all night. But the menu was quite expansive and the food sounded good. My first concerns came when the waiter came and laid a knife and fork on the table even thoguh I had ordered a creamy saucy passanda. And then when the food came, the waiter tried to tip my food onto a plate instead of keeping it in the blalti dishe. The food was very bland and the sauce watery, but what was quite surprising was that me and my partner had ordered 2 completely different dishes and the sauces were a completely different colour but they actually tasted the same. The best thing about my meal was the Naan bread.
