Bilash in Wolverhampton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Our first visit since pre COVID times did not disappoint. The extensive menu provided an excellent choice to suit a range of tastes, with each dish we ordered having a unique and distinctive flavour. The service received from staff was attentive, but in no way overbearing or intrusive. Very good value for money.

A wonderful evening at the Bilash, a great family run business. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the set meal, starter and main and everything tasted out of this world. The naan was the nicest we had ever had, you could even see the chefs making it! The restaurant is lovely and would love to return but it would be more for special occasions due to the price- it is the higher end price wise when dining out. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Absolutely superb one of the best Indian Restaurant I have been to if not the best,perhaps a little pricey, but doesn't matter well worth it because food superb and service even better.

This was a special dining occasion for us. The staff were attentive and explained the menu and made recommendations. The food was excellent, as we expected. We were pleasantly surprised that Indian deserts (gulab jamun and gajjar sweet) were made in house and they were sublime - best we've had. There's more choice of Indian desserts at the weekend. Probably the best Indian restaurant in Wolverhampton, though we've not tried them all!

Food was exceptional, we had starters and mains, both superb with well balanced flavours. As someone who is dairy free, we felt completely confident about the food being served to us, this is because the chef talked us through the menu and completely understood what we required. The customer service was incredible, super friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and was made to feel incredibly special. As foodies, this is one restaurant experience we will never stop recommending, well worth the 5 star review, well worth the money and well worth the experience. Thankyou Bilash for making my husbands birthday feel special and we cannot wait to return.

We was a large group of 25 people, our guests came from all over the country to dine at Bilash, the front of house looked after us all with so much care and attention, drinks kept flowing. The meal arranged by Mo was just magnificent, every dish was magical. He prepared a seafood and Vegetarian menu for the main course, Selection of Lobster, Halibut , sea bass, along with Okra, Aubergines, spinach all 3 Vege dishes where do individual we never tasted anything like it, The starter was a Bengali Roasted stuffed chicken cooked in the tandoor, it was WOW , can’t tell you what it was stuffed with but every member of the family has commented how delicious and unique the food was. Dessert was a combo of Gulab Jaman, Gazar halwa served with kulfi. It was pricey , it all comes at a cost when you realise how good the quality of the ingredients and the cooking is. Look forward to visiting in the next couple of months.

Service and food was fantastic, myself and my friend both had mutton dishes and it was cooked to perfection the depth of flavour was excellent, the special rice was beautiful and flavoursome and naan breads were very light, had a brief chat with the owner who was extremely passionate about the food and all of the ingredients used would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Great food and fabulous friendly atmosphere and service. We came before a concert and we’re so glad we booked because people were queuing. It was our first time in Wolverhampton and a local friend told us they’ve been here 30 years and are the best in the city. I highly recommend. Definitely can understand how it has gained Michelin stars.

Top quality experience Food is freshly cooked, with care and attention, using quality ingredients Top notch service with a good selection of wines

Excellent food with a very welcoming service and atmosphere! Will definitely be back

We had a delightful evening with Mo and his family at the Bilash. The welcome was warm and engaging, the food was excellent and served beautifully as it has been on every occasion we have been visiting the restaurant. We would highly recommend the Bilash. Our only concern is that although the wines are good they are expensive and perhaps a range of wines at a more moderate price range would be appropriate. Rex & Lorraine Tams

I recommend this place highly, exceptional food. The staff were very attentive.

If you want superb Indian food then go to Bilash. I would recommend their Chicken Super, a fish dish called Buna Mach, their Dhal Makani and their Special Rice.

Outstanding food, great service, made a weekend away unforgettable.

Amazing food, service outstanding, really lucky find!

Nice food, a different experience having noddles in a curry, but very expensive.

The best Indians I have ever been to!!!!! The service was on point and the staff were really kind. I could not have Black pepper so they said to me they would do another dish which was so kind. We came here for my 27th birthday and I would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful meal here today . The family who own the resturant are really lovely . The flavours of the food are the best I've tasted . Lovely ambience . Chef came and asked if our meal was OK. Nothing was too much bother . Thank you so much

We went for Valentine’s, the website said it would be a special valentines menus. It wasn’t. It is double the price of any other Indian restaurant but the quality is no better. I ordered a fish dish which I sent back. The wine is extortionate, I order a £50 bottle of Chardonnay(the cheapest they had), they say they had run out and offered a pouilly fume which we accepted then a pinot Grigio came, and they charged £60 for the pouilly fume. £160 for one starter, two mains and a bottle of pinot. Would not recommend.

Attending a concert at The Civic Halls, which is a stones throw away and decided on Bilash for our meal. The venue is a Michelin star restaurant, so we expected service as well as food to be to a high standard. On entering, we were asked if we'd booked, which we hadn't and were directed to a small table, where we were asked if that was OK. The restaurant was busy but not overly. Eventually we were asked if we'd like poppadoms prior to receiving the menu which we said one each along with the chutneys and pickles, we were encouraged to have 2 each which we agreed, on ordering drinks, myself a glass of Merlot and my husband a lime and soda as he was the designated driver tonight. Eventually, the poppadoms arrived, 1 each with the waitress telling me she did not know what Merlot was and if there was anything else I would like instead. Now remind me, this is a Michelin star restaurant?! I then ordered a house red. Where could I go wrong with that? Don't bother. I've had more satisfying glasses of blackcurrant cordial! Food - the menus where given after the drinks were served, and the food order was taken after we'd eaten our 1 poppadom, from a limited choice of food menu, no prices for poppadoms, as previous people have commented. Dishes the cheapest is £28, whilst tasty is no better than we've had in local Indian restaurants, and we've had many! Rice we ordered boiled rice was again encouraged to have saffron rice as it would suit our choice of main courses, plain rice arrived, this was £7 a dish, I would recommend one between 2 of you, this is more than enough, and cost effective. Service is slow in every aspect, we may have been unlucky, but we didn't get what we ordered. the atmosphere is nothing special and generally lacking Our bill was £98 was it worth it? no, not one bit.

I was expecting so much more. The serving staff, including the maitre d, didn't know the menu, there was dance music coming from the kitchen, the floor upstairs was covered in cardboard, toilets were shabby, food was decent but way way way overpriced. We left thinking we could've spent a third of money and had a better experience elsewhere. Frankly, there was no experience, it's just a standard Indian restaurant that charges £8 for a bowl of rice.

Food was average, I fear that they are resting on their past competition glory. Food was also very expensive, £20 for a starter of tandoori chops. There was a very loud table and a customer arguing about the prices, all off putting. Will find a better venue when visiting the Wolverhampton halls next time.

Went there recently, food was good but very expensive. We had the Xmas menu and that was not cheap but the main menu that I could also order from had starters for £25 plus. Also drinks were expensive, I think even the poppadoms were about £3. Probably won't go back unless someone else is paying 😄

Very nice a bit pricey but good food and a good atmosphere, would recommend, great when your in Wolverhampton for a show etc

Been waiting along time to have an absolutely beautiful meal cooked with passion, excellent food, celebrating my mom's 80th birthday

We were attending a concert at The Halls; the restaurant is a stone's throw from the venue and so three of us booked an early table. It was encouraging to see that there were already people seated in the downstairs area when we arrived shortly after 5pm. The welcome was warm and although we weren't given menus on arrival, we were offered poppadums and drinks. We ordered six poppadums and three small bottles of Cobra - they didn't have any draught lager or large bottles of Cobra. The poppadums and drinks arrived and, eventually, the menus. There was a 'Christmas' set menu at £35 (starter, main, rice or naan) and an a la carte menu. We didn't really want a starter as we had planned to move on and meet some other friends for drinks before the concert. Looking at the a la carte menu, we were surprised to see that we were obliged to order a starter and a main, at which point we agreed my might as well order from the set menu. We ordered three veggie pakora and three shahi paneer, two naan and a rice from the set menu. Bear in mind that on the a la carte menu, the pakora starter comes in at an eye-watering £15 and the curry £22, plain rice at £5 and naan at £6, so we felt like we were getting some value for money at least. The food was nice; no better than anything I've had from our local restaurant and no worse, just more than double the price. We ordered a few more bottles of Cobra and I had a glass of wine - there is no wine by the glass priced on the menu and so I didn't know what I was drinking, except that it was wet and white, or how much it was going to cost. When the bill arrived, we were gobsmacked. The bottles of Cobra were £6 each - that works out at £9 a pint - and we'd had eight of them. The poppadoms, which as we were offered them on arrival and they weren't anywhere on the menu, we foolishly assumed were complimentary were - wait for it - £2.50 each. We had spent £15 on poppadoms before we even ordered any actual food. The bill came in at £165 for the three of us; I managed to negotiate the poppadoms to be removed from the bill, citing daylight robbery. We also noted that the diners on the tables to the left and right of us were equally shocked, with one diner putting away their debit card and swapping it for a credit card and two gents splitting the bill on another table scratching their heads as to how their modest dinner had come in at nearly £70 a head. I realise that this review is mostly about money and hardly anything to do with food, but, as I've intimated, the latter was nothing to shout about. The restaurant is tired in appearance and the service wasn't exactly slick. The front of house/manager was welcoming and professional but not very awake to the fact that the restaurant is charging for things by stealth, in the middle of a cost of living crisis. If you're happy to pay this much for Indian food and want an amazing night out, go a couple of stops on the train into Brum and visit Asha's or Varanasi where the food, decor and service are absolutely outstanding. You'll even save yourself a few quid in the process.

The food and service were exemplary. A cosy and relaxing atmosphere too. You can tell a lot of love goes into the food and the restaurant. Bonus - close to all main attractions such as the halls (civic) grand theatre and the Molineux stadium.

Whilst the food and service was excellent, we were completely put off by the price of the wine. £60 a bottle- no thank you.

Got lucky here. Were early so the place was empty and we were hesitant. But what a find. Excellent food. Well presented. Delicately spiced. Probably the best or nearly the best pakora I’ve ever eaten. Exceptional naan. And a good set of veggie and vegan choices. Coupled with friendly and attentive service. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and service. Pre theatre meal and couldn’t have asked for anything more. ❤️ Booked again for Christmas meal ❤️

I love Indian food and it was delicious

Fantastic food and service at a great price can’t fault it amazing restaurant

First class food and great service. A little pricey but well worth it.

Food was awful, staff didnt ask if food was oki, rushes in rushed out, not very much options , set menu only Given a variety of beer to choose from beer came and was hinekien zero . Not very welcoming.

What a great dining experience we had here last night. The food was wonderful and brilliantly cooked, the service perfect and overall a great vibe with a lovely family run operation. Cannot wait to return when we are back in Wolverhampton.

Fine food in relaxed setting with friendly staff. Well-established restaurant. Very central for Wolverhampton - free weekday parking outside from 6.30pm

Beautiful food, wonderful attentive service, couldn’t recommend more. The fish dishes are a real highlight. Thank you to all the staff.

The food was excellent, really tasty and portion just the right size. Is the 2 course £30 ‘deal’ worth it over your standard 3 course £15-20 in other restaurants? Probably not. It’s the drinks that will make you wince. £12 for two 330ml bottles of Madri that was offered to me as a ‘pint’, that just doesn’t sit right with me. So our already expensive £60 meal was bumped to £80 because of three drinks, of which one was a coke. Service was excellent though! One of those ‘tried it once and that’ll do’ places.

Decent food, but way too expensive for what it is. Charging that much for poppadoms should be a crime!

Nicest Indian food I've had in a long time

A bit more expensive than some, but the quality of food, service , and environment are magnificent and well worth it.

My partner and I visited Bilash on Friday evening pre-concert. It is the first time I have ever been and was so impressed. Having heard good reviews over the years, I often find that I go over expecting things and they never quite deliver. This was different we had the two courses for £30.00. Both courses were excellent and the Nan bread was the best I have ever tasted. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. I cant wait to go back.

Staff very friendly. Food served very quickly. Food was very good and home cooked!

Great private cooking class with Mo..learned lots of new skills and the food was great 👍

Bilash was a pleasant surprise! From the moment we entered i was surprised by the way it looked , modern decor friendly staff but not over bearing,the atmosphere was pleasant with other customers seemingly happy but the main action started when we were served the food, it was just magic wonderful, i will be back the next time I'm in Wolverhampton

Brilliant service - Moh was a gent

Wonderful food every time we visit, never disappointed.

Amazing and unique food, with superb hospitality and service.

Took a business colleague for dinner after a long day. Very comfortable atmosphere. Food and service was amazing. Both the chicken & lamb dishes were very tasty with some authentic flavours coming through. Excellent selection of drinks made the whole Bilash experience one to remember. Looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely exceptional food, service, atmosphere.. definitely visiting again

It was an interesting experience for me because I am not fond of Indian cuisine , thanks.

Nice Indian restaurant - not cheap, but food is cut above your standard Indian

Last visited a few years ago, it’s lost its vibe it didn’t feel as special as when I’ve been before. Ordered Prosseco which menu said was a small bottle (you can usually get about 1.5 glasses from) but we were served a glass of Prosseco each (£9) we ordered the poppadoms (as you do) the yogurt mint sauce was really spicy, not to my taste but other sauces were nice. The menu came it was £30 for 2 courses (this was a Thursday night) no other choice. If I’d known I wouldn’t have ordered the poppadoms. I had the fish to start then a lamb dish. Both were nice but salty. The saffron rice was lovely, I might have enjoyed more if I’d been able to order just one course, I left most of my main. My friend had chicken madras and that had lots of flavours in but again it was salty. Total bill was £82 which while not extortionate felt expensive for what we had. Everyone else in there it seemed were regular customers so it’s popular with some but as a returnee can’t say I would go back again. Lost its sparkle for me.

Great food amazing service. We eat in at The Bilash but decided to get takeaway on Friday ( wolves were on TV.) The food was delicious The staff as always were amazing. I had fish as starter and the paneer with rice as main. I highly recommend The Bilash. Service was amazing as always. It was nice that they let me sit in comfy area while waiting for food. It was busy and well worth the wait.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at The Bilash after a trip to Molineux. I had a three course meal which was bursting with taste and flavour. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend The Bilash to anyone visiting Wolverhampton or the surrounding area.

I came here with my family for dinner, the food was absolutely amazing. The chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked, and the service was wonderful. Very friendly staff very calming atmosphere and the music was very good. I will definitely come here again

The food here is beautiful. One of the best places to go for a curry. I really love the starters too - the masala fish is amazing. Would always recommen this place.

Absolutely amazing meal .. in fact I would go as far as saying the best curry I’ve ever had. Me, my brother & sister in law, visited Friday 17th Feb. As soon as we walked in, it was a lovely atmosphere. The service was fantastic, we were offered poperdoms straight away. The menu was extensive, we all chose something different and shared, both starters & main course. It was absolutely beautiful, we could not fault one thing. We shared a dessert, also gorgeous. Not sure if we will be passing through Wolverhampton again, but, if we do, this will be our first port of call. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We had yet another delicious meal at the Bilash last night. This is not a curry house this is a family owned Indian restaurant serving Michelin rated food which is of course absolutely amazing. My starter… the lamb chops really were the best I have ever tasted, the whole meal was fantastic. We had brilliant and friendly service from Mo who made us some great cocktails. We loved it so much much we have booked again for Valentine’s Day! ❤️

We ordered a takeaway at 5.30 this afternoon. I was told 1.5 hours it’s now 8.10pm STILL WAITING and PHONE CONSTANTLY ENGAGED!!! Would I recommend definitely NOT

I love Indian food and was looking forward to returning to the Bilash after many years. There was a £30 set menu on a Saturday night with very few choices. A very small bottle of lager was nearly £6. The meal was just average. The whole night was an expensive disappointment.

Still a great curry, perhaps not back up to its fighting weight since reopening post COVID

The food here is always amazing, but our most recent meal was probably the best yet. The staff are always friendly and attentive and make us feel very special on each visit.

Disappointed £30 set Menu on a Saturday night. Not a lot of choice on it, drinks expensive, £2 a papadum. No other choice you had to have the set menu, and as there wasn’t a lot to chose on it and the choice of nann was plain or garlic that’s it….. your kind of left forced to have food that you may not have really chosen if you had been given a better menu, Papadum not included on Set menu.

Food was good although the kulfi bore a remarkable resemblance to Wall's soft scoop. However, a £30 three-course 'deal' turned into a very expensive meal once drinks were factored in. Service was mediocre. Overpriced and overrated. Thrre are much better Indian restaurants in Wolverhampton.

Good quality haircuts, friendly service. Very competitive on prices. I go there every 4 weeks!!

I love the food that it’s one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in Wolverhampton the starters were amazing the manger amazing and the desserts are amazing the staff that are really nice and the service is brilliant

As always, wonderful food and service. The cuisine is traditional Bangladeshi, so don't expect chicken korma or tikka masala! Fresh indredients, treated with care and respect. Don't forget to leave room for dessert - if you've never had gajar halwar you're in for a treat!

Lovely atmosphere, superb food, wonderful friendly staff. I highly recommend.

Amazing flavours and top notch service. Thank you for a lovely experience

I reserved this restaurant a month in advance by email. We turned up 15mins early, two men were inside. We tapped on the door and they looked up, laughed and point blank ignored us. We returned 15mins later to find the two men leaving, when...

Really gone downhill chicken is like rubber. offer you to sample things then charge you for it at the end of the Meal

Excellent food and service. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Restaurant is beautifully presented.

Always good food but we were very disappointed with the new pricing structure recently, £30 for a3-course meal regardless of vegetarians among us and how we don’t normally eat desserts. They should not have this as the only menu option for evening diners. And it grates that they’ve only belatedly seen some sense and cut the fixed price to £22.50. Won’t be going again until the pricing is fairer

I loved the food the staff was very nice and Mo made it so nice,the food was spicy that I loved so much.It was my dads 40th birthday he enjoyed so much The drinks were very tasty the desserts were very tasty and I will...

I had them yesterday and they were absolutely delicious and flavour full.can’t wait to have them again

Amazing food, great atmosphere, the restaurant was full, very busy and we were served quickly. Mo made a big effort to make sure everyone had a drink and really did spoil us, couldn’t fault a thing, thanks for a great night. X

An all time favourite for my trips to Wolverhampton, great service and the food taste so fresh and the spice level is just perfect. Highly recommend anyone to try, a little pricey, but certainly worth it, will make a special event even more special.

The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. There was pride in both the service and the quality of the menu offered, with plenty of choice. It’s a lovely established venue serving great tasting food.

Fabulous food, and great service. Can't wait to go again. Have the Gulab Jamun for desert!!!

We booked the Bilash as a treat for our anniversary through email and were met by a instant response from the owner. On arriving the restaurant was surprisingly very quiet for a Saturday evening which at first seemed alarming. From the second we were seated...

We absolutely love this restaurant, the food is absolutely delicious, brilliant service too, the staff really look after you and nothing is too much trouble. Thanks for another delicious meal we will be back soon!

AWFUL SERVICE. RUDE STAFF. Booked a table as owner said he could cook oil free if we booked in advance. I advised them we needed 3 oil free meals. We had family make the trip across country and we called to confirm, but Bilash then told us they could not do what they had said, and refused to let me speak with the owner. So, meal cancelled for the birthday boy who’d travelled 3 hours for this treat. Disgusting service. Rude front of house also. The way he wouldn’t let us speak to owner made me think it was his error in not informing the owner/ chef and the owner would have actually obliged willingly. We were planning many more meals there, but have already changed next week’s celebration and a friend group meal to elsewhere. This restaurant should not be in a good restaurant guide.
