Excellent sit down meal with the family, the flavours were all on point, service was excellent. Been here a few years ago and remember the food being good, luckily no change the food remains superb. Ordered lamb chops and meat somosa for starter. Chicken Karahi, lamb biriyani and a nan for main. The kids got nuggets and chips. The lamb chops were covered in a tandoori marinade which was spicy and nice. The meat was a little tough but when bitten into it fell apart. The lamb somosa were packed full of mince and had a nice mild taste, no grease. The mains was amazing, the chicken Karahi was spicy so won't be suitable for kids or people who can't handle heat. The chicken fell off the bone, flavours were out the roof. Lamb biriyani was super filling, the spices were spot on. It came with a raita which was nice. Love my spicy food, this was a delicious belly busting meal. For desert we got the gajar halwa with vanilla movenpick ice cream and strawberry movenpick ice cream. The ice cream was nice but only negative was they covered the strawberry scoop with sauce which was a little to sweet, maybe they should ask before putting sauces on. Service was excellent, sat down in a booth straightaway, venue was super busy but waiters were quick and food came in good time. Staff were happy, smiling and provided a great experience. The bill was £49 which was well priced. Excellent experience, will be returning in the future.

I have been coming here for nearly 20 years and it is one of the best restaurants when they get it right ✅️. It's conveniently located in Star City in Nechells, Brum. I have seen many staff come and go. I have met the owner on several occasions, and when I have the managers, they suddenly become more attentive, which is amusing. Saj was one the best managers, but he moved to pastures new. However, despite the shortcomings, it is still a lovely place to dine, especially with one's family. We love the peri chicken, lamb biryani, mutton chops with mint sauce, karahi with plain naan. The chutney trays are nice too. The prices, although, higher than they used to be, are still reasonable compares with others. The toilets can do with more attention as it lets it down somewhat. I love sitting in one of the 6 booths. The desserts are slightly above average. I do like the old school classic, cornflake tart with custard. When they get everything right it is simply the best! When they get it wrong they don't want to admit there is a problem. Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to all!

Please Note: This is a GENUINE REVIEW, NOT FAKE REVIEW that they may have asked their mates to post! I ordered a large delivery today. The Chips were NOT chips, as stated in their Menu, as Oriental Fish and Chips, but frozen fries and the so-called Oriental Fish was a joke! It was small, dry and tasteless. I got NO salad or Garnish which I had ordered. When I phoned to complain they said they had run out of chips and sent fries instead! They would not let me speak to the Manager and the person on the phone sounded like he had escaped from the local immigration deportation centre! The Oriental fish (supposedly Cod) was LESS THAN HALF the size of a normal Cod that a typical Chip Shop sells and charges less than half the price these criminals charged! This fish they cooked for me must have been some tapped and mutated dwarf Cod they probably caught themselves from a local polluted pond or something! Me and my Family now go hungry after paying nearly £40 for this pile of rubbish! The Paneer was burnt to a crisp and inedible! The Seekh Kebabs were tasteless. The Chops were okay. I was disgusted by the poor quality of the food! Bland, Tasteless, NOT FRESH but reheated garbage! I was so annoyed and my family were upset with this. Total Rip Off...save yourself a lot of money and go to the local Chip Shop. I hardly ever write reviews but these lot don't have a clue about what customers expect for paying a premium price. Let me give them a few tips; Firstly, attend the local ESOL Course so you can speak proper English and communicate properly with those who pay your salaries. Secondly, use locally sourced fresh ingredients instead of reheating frozen rubbish. Thirdly, stop going fishing at local ponds to save money and buy fresh, normal sea fish. Normal Fish is better than tapped, dwarf mutated fish that you fish for at your ponds. Next, the customer should be respected when they legitimately complain because people like me have better things to do with their precious time than complain. You have upset me and my family, we have been disrespected and karma comes back to the perpetrators. The name of your restaurant should be changed to 'Bland Khans' and the headline should read, frozen pond life for mugs! Thank you taking the time to read my review.

As it’s conveniently located near M6 STAR CITY, BIRMINGHAM.Thought I’d drop by whilst passing through as heard some great recommendations but sadly it wasn’t what I was expecting. The decor has gone downhill inside (as looks outside can be deceiving)and in need of a renovation, they sat us down after waiting to clear a table only to be told you have 30 minutes as the kitchen will be closing. Besides that fact we still thought we’d give it a go… and ordered chicken korma curry, naan and samosa chaat for a quick bite. The samosa chaat portion was good you can share it easily between 2/3 . As I have noticed different areas and restaurants prepare this differently ( some serving with hot Chana - chickpeas/ or cold ) . Me on a personal note prefer the cold version, I didn’t like the amount of chana/toppings ratio there was way to much and the samosa was hidden beneath… there was a lot that it kind of overpowered the other flavours so I wouldn’t recommend this one. The chicken curry was ok nothing special BUT it did have quite a bit of oil in…the best bit was probably the naan tbh…. Definitely won’t be popping down here again, and pretty sure there are better restaurants in range

Ready to tuck into my takeaway after a long, hard shift, I open the foil in which the allo paratha was in to see that the paratha looked as if it was run over by a bus as u can see in the picture. Having called the store, i was told they would refund the parath, which was of no use to me when I needed to eat my curry with something other than the paratha served. I suggested I would drive down wasting my time and fuel when asked how they would look to reimburse me for the inconvenience. I was told they would give me a few poppadoms, which I thought was an insult got to the store explaining the situation they gave me a glass of mango lassi to cool me down, and when reaching home the curry was stone cold but received a portion of chicken tikka which were very salty and the paratha good a lot better but full of whole coriander seeds which again left a sour taste in our experience. You would not see back there

We went here on a weekday so wasn’t too busy. It’s very ideal for going with families as there’s big seating areas. We ordered peshwari naan and one curry dish - murgh tikka karahi which was actually so nice. The peshwari naan however had way too much coconut bits, we would’ve preferred less. Reason for 3 star is because i would say the service wasn’t so great. As I asked for cutlery, the waiter went to get it but in between got distracted and attended others first. The cleanliness of the restaurant isn’t up to standard. There were food bits everywhere when sitting and also on the table… and when we asked if it could be cleaned only a section where we was going to sit got cleaned and not the whole area and table. The high chairs were really dirty and it just put me off from going again. Really run down - needs Reno.
