I have had several meals from here, delivered, because of the restrictions, (plus I can be lazy that way!), and they have always been absolutely delicious, hot and tasty. Yesterday, however, my partner and I decided to dine in the restaurant. What a delight! I had not expected such a well-laid out and comfortable restaurant. Then comes the food! WOW! We had a table full of goodness! Samosas, onion bhajis, poppadums, pulao rice and mushroom rice, chicken dhansak (Mumbai), and chicken Ambwala. All this food was absolutely first-class. (Also more than we could manage, so the Manageress boxed it up for us to take home! Dinner tonight is sorted!) There were many items on the menu that I have never experienced, surprising as I lived for over ten years about 1 mile south of Birmingham's Balti Triangle, so I'm very familiar, (or at least so I thought!) with Indian cuisine. We will definitely be visiting again, with a view to work our way through all the new, untried dishes...
Read moreWe arrived at 10.45 on a Friday evening to find the Restaurant empty, but we three musicians were very hungry after a day's travelling and an evening's performing at the Key Theatre! The gentleman who welcomed us invited us to choose a table and we ordered drinks while perusing a well stocked menu! We chose a chicken dhansak and two lamb jhal frezis, with a Bombay aloo, a saag bhajee and an onion bhajee, accompanied by pilau rice. When the food arrived it was quite evident that this had been freshly prepared and it was absolutely delicious - it hit the spot! We also had a very long, interesting chat with a Moroccan gentleman who appeared to be in charge of the kitchen! A really good end to our long day. At £51.50 for a substantial meal for three and including drinks in very pleasant, clean surroundings we considered this very good value! Highly...
Read moreWow! What an experience. I am vegan and my partner is a meat eater so it can be difficult to find a place that accommodates both. On ringing Shah Jehan they informed us they do not have any vegan options on the menu BUT they were willing to make any dish on the menu vegan by replacing the dairy ect' We went and ate in the restaurant and the manager was incredibly accommodating and was able to make the chickpea curry vegan for me and it was the best chickpea curry I have ever eaten!
I was informed by the staff of what I can and can't eat; E.G mint sauce with the popadoms and they were incredibly versatile and didn't make me feel like it was a fuss in accommodating to my dietary requirements.
Friendly, professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend this restaurant and thank you...
