11/19/2019- Been here a few times for dinner and lunch and it's consistently good. Service is excellent. Food is just amazing. Tried the street food thali this time and I'm already planning my next visit. Lots of veggy options too which is great. hummyp
11/27/2019 - Best curry I have ever had, it was outstanding!
Very swish restaurant with a lovely vibe, but we went with our two children as we were staying locally and they were made to feel very welcome too. They made a special mild curry just for the children :) Will definitely be back if we go back to Birmingham! Michelle Turner
