Little India — Restaurant in Redditch

we arrived at opening time and placed our order pretty quickly, the next people to arrive were around 10 minutes after us then shortly after that another family walked in. It took absolutely ages for our food to arrive but what surprised me is that when ours come out the families that arrived and ordered way after us got their food the same time, they just had to wait a lot less time for it which I think is bad. The chicken pakora starter was terrible, the batter was really hard and crispy like the batter you’d get on a fish from the chip shop, the chicken was also really dry. The main dish arrived and it was okay (not brilliant) apart from the rice, the rice was probably the worst I’d ever had in a restaurant as it was so dry like it had been cooked days before and reheated. Something I should have checked before hand was the hygiene rating, it only comes in 3 out of 5 which is t great compared to the 5 star ratings of all the rest in the area, definitely won’t...

This place was recommended, so I was excited. The staff were young, and when asking about gluten-free dishes, they were just saying yes, all gluten-free. One waiter said that the D logo next to the food was a spice rating. It's actually Dairy. We had 4 poppadoms £3.80, spice tray £3.09 Chicken Pathia £14.95 and chicken Balti £14.95. The poppadoms and spice tray are not worth a total £6.80. The Oathia was immensely sweet and then bland, not spicy at all, probably the worst we have tried to date. The Chicken Balti was awful with over fried rice and tasteless. The best part if our meal was the tap water. Now, the venue had around 22 customers when we were leaving, and it seemed popular. Obviously suits some loyal customers. For us, it's a massive no and won't...

Great food and fantastic value. Finally got to try the food here on their Monday banquet night. We arrived not long after opening and got a warm welcome, and we were quickly shown to our seats. We had Poppadoms to start, waited a while before having our order taken, then we all had starters. The sheek kebab was tasty, the onion bhaji and samosas were quite small, but delicious. We had chicken pathias and a chicken Tikka masalla main with lovely mushroom rice and peshwari naans. Each course was prompt, hot fresh and tasty. We literally cleared our plates. Staff were very friendly and polite throughout. We will definitely return another night, for the main menu too. Parking was absolutely fine, right outside, but imagine it can be busy...
