The ambience and decor creates a wonderful dining experience, matched by the excellent customer service and hygiene. Im still relishing the mouth-watering taste of the soft subtle flavours, infused into the tenderness of our meal. The aroma, lingers as a reminder of fine cuisine brought together at an affordable price. Definitely on my favourites to be visited again.

Excellent food, beautifully presented and served by really nice people. Particularly good vegan choice and the staff were on the case, understanding straight away that I didn't want cow's ghee. Delicious puri starter followed by a really tasty veg khari with a brilliant sag aloo. Thoroughly recommended.

This restaurant was very accommodating, although fully booked they were able to promise us a table with a minimum of wait time. Once inside the staff are super friendly and helpful and the decor is very light, contemporary and welcoming. We ordered starters and mains and a bottle of wine. All the food was delicious and arrived promptly. The portions are just enough and not overwhelming which some restaurants can be. We came across this restaurant after a busy day at the cricket but we were able to relax and enjoy the lovely food and atmosphere. A great place to dine!

My sister booked this restaurant for my niece’s (significant) birthday 🎈 Table was booked 5.15pm:- we was warmly greeted with a smile 😃 Seated to our seats (8 of us) - Service was good. Food was lovely and of a good size portion (including, Staters). However I am rating this restaurant a 3 stars for the following reason:- Over charged us for an extra bottle of wine, that we did not have. Given it was my niece’s (significant) birthday, we felt rushed to finish our meals and to leave the restaurant; which was a tad disappointing, given my sister generously, paid the service charge of £35.00. We had to send two of the dishes back, because the food was “not” even moderately warm - one of the member of staff tried to convince us, that the meal was hot - until he eventually took the meals away, (clearly tried it) and came back and apologised for the meal not being edible enough to eat. 25 minutes later, they brought our meals back; Although, we was offered two complimentary desserts - when asked if we could have a coffee or herbal beverage instead of the desserts we was told “no” Will I or my sister (who resides in Birmingham) visit this restaurant again probably not.

I'd been out with a group of chums to see "Dune: Part 2" (oh, and I have opinions about THAT!) and fancied something appropriately spicy afterwards: The spice must flow! We chose Rumana's on a recommendation from a friend's sister, and I'm glad we did. Their website says they "pride ourselves in treating our customers like members of our family", and it really felt like we were old friends visiting someone's home (especially with the well-behaved kids scooting around and being generally delightful - and I don't even like kids!) I think we were served by Rumana herself, and she was welcoming and helpful - a real pleasure to meet someone so engaged and enthusiastic about their restaurant, and being a great host. The other staff were also very polite and helpful, and knowledgable about the menu. Speaking of which: The menu has a selection of dishes which seem unusual and possibly unique to this restaurant. I won't go into too much detail about my friends' dishes, but all were given the thumbs up. The poppadoms came out first, of course, but the accompanying sauces need some props: Their chili-sauce-gravy thing was incredible (I almost asked if I could take some home). Most curry / balti restaurants in Brum seem to have their own 'red sauce' and it's not often one stands out as being extra-special and worthy of a paragraph of review: This was one of those special sauces. Spicy, tangy (tamarind?), thick, and with a huge amount of flavour. Well done, chef! For a starter, I had Shunamoti: I've never had a cheesy chicken tikka omelette before, but I will certainly have it again (and probably learn to make it at home). Very unusual, and very tasty. for my main, I decided to opt for something at the spicy end of the scale, and had to ask about the story behind "What the Bloody?!" (yes, that is what it is called) - no spoilers! You'll have to find out yourself. It warranted three chilis on the menu (not the hottest thing they serve), but this was a home-cooking 3 chilis and was at the top end of my spice tolerance (which is quite high), so be warned! I can recommend the mango lassi as a wonderful 'control rod' for the naga reaction. However: The dish was not just hot for the sake of being hot, but had a real depth of flavour, too. The accompanying roti was fluffy, fresh and hot. I am also reliably informed that their Peshawari Naan is one of the best my friend had ever had (and they lived in India for a while), drizzled with honey and with juicy sultanas embedded within. The restaurant is unlicensed, but there is a small shop over the road where you can buy booze if you need to. It's also next door to a 'Spoons if you want pre- or post-curry cask ales. Overall, a great experience. Northfield seems to be THE place for getting something authentic, unusual, and very tasty these days (I reviewed the equally excellent Omar Khayam a few weeks ago). I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu at some point: I definitely need to try the Atomic Chips!

Con lugares locales (B26 y Titash) completo, fue una sorpresa de encontrar la Rajdhani recién decorada vacío, como en completamente vacío.

A bit off the beaten track but well worth it. Great staff, great service and fantastic food. All round , five stars are thoroughly deserved. We just had a stack of tapas style starters - a lot of them, and they were all delicious.
