Khanum is an Indian restaurant in the centre of Selly Oak that also delivers. They serve the usual…read morearray of bhunas, kormas and tikkas, and whenever I've eaten in there the food has been high quality. Service is surprisingly prompt and the staff are friendly, though not so friendly it gets in the way of the quick service. The prices are at the cheaper end of the curry house price range, starting at about 5.50/6 pounds for a main course and about 1.50/2 pound for side dishes. There are higher quality curry houses in Birmingham, but these will undoubtedly tax your wallet a lot harder than Khanum, there are also cheaper curry houses but with with lower quality food. The one criticism I have is that the restaurant is a little cramped, but apart from this Khanum is a restaurant I would recommend to curry fans.

Can't go wrong with a tarka dall, and Khanum more than delivers. Service quick, food was hot and…read moretasty, and the vegetarian in me was very satisfied. Not too oily - which a dall often can be, so that was a good sign. My other half had a chicken biryani, and whilst the veg curry that comes with it was a bit bland, the meat was apparently tender and delicious and there was lots of it there. A biryani is always our way of testing curry houses that ar new to us, and this one passed with flying colours. Winning all round!

We visited Shaban just before Christmas 2022. It was not a good experience. The restaurant was cold…read moreand when I asked why it was so cold I was told by a waiter, "It's winter, what do you expect?" No attempt was made to make my family and children comfortable. My children kept coats and hats on for the remainder of the meal. What a joke. We were seated right at the back of the restaurant by the service counter even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived? It became apparent that the rude staff would continue to reach over our heads and serve food or shout orders to each other throughout the remainder of our meal. Appalling. To top it off, the restaurant is running an online service where people walk into the restaurant to collect their orders. Throughout our meal we had people queueing beside our table, leaning against our chairs, paying at the cash register behind our heads. It was horrible. The restaurant needs a specific waiting area for people collecting orders away from guests in the restaurant. Service was bad. Food was slapped onto my mums plate with no care. No food warmers were on the table to keep food warm as other guests seemed to have. My daughters ordered some fried chicken and were given tough bits of chicken on a plate. The rest of the food was just about ok. The restaurant decor is extremely dated and in extreme need of extensive modernisation. I also have to ask whether their were racist undertones to our treatment. Seated at a table at the back of the restaurant where no diner should have been seated. The rudeness of staff and terrible service. All other dinners (white)were seated at the front of the restaurant. As a person of colour I feel that this could have been the case. I would advise anyone wanting to eat at the restaurant to think carefully. There are far superior Indian restaurants in the area. Shaban is not even a patch on these.

Birmingham is well known for it's curry house culture and Akaash is as good an example of that…read more Situated miles away from the famous "curry triangle", Akaash is a smartly presented Indian restaurant that also does takeaway, with the kind of food that will delight all but the most fussy curry enthusiast (some even say it's the best curry they've had in Birmingham, but perhaps that's too big a subject to debate here). It seems to be able to tick all the boxes with good service, cheap prices, generous portions and keen, polite service. It seems fair to say it's one of the best curry houses this side of Birmingham.The only possible criticsim I can think of is that there's no parking spaces, so drivers may want to think about taking a taxi to avoid any unneccesary stress. Ignore at your peril, or only if you've tried Indian food previously and have decided that it absolutely isn't for you.

I ordered Tandoori Garlic Tikka Chilli, Bhindi Bhaji, Pilau Rice and Garlic Naan. The food came in short order and was fantastic! All my friends enjoyed their food as well!
