Sher-E-Punjab — Restaurant in Wyre Forest

I ordered a take out last night as a Treat for My other half to save her cooking. What can I say, fast delivery of cold food, nothing like what we ordered. More of a lucky dip of what was in the Kitchen. Green Chicken Tikka starter, that was tasteless and cold. A Chicken Balti based on a Massala sauce that was sweet, flavourless and gritty in texture.

Really nice Indian. Presentation reminded me of the 70's/80's style of Indian restaurants, really nice, with that little extra flourish. All our meals were very tasty and good. My Biryani had a great flavour, but the rice was a little dry, almost as if pan made rather than the fluffy steamed biryani straight from steaming in the oven. But, I would have it again. Nice. The atmosphere was good, but it is in a repurchased building that does give some character, but it also makes the building feel a little disjointed. We had a large group 12, but the tables given were cramped, even though more table space could have been provided. It has been a long time since my last visit, but I would happily...
