Bolliwood Balti in Birmingham

Tarka Dall was inedible. Bad tummy for 2 days since eating the currys

Food good delivery service shocking it took 3 hours to get my food

After putting in an order it was cancelled for no reason and the refund can take up to 5 days. Poor experience.

An hour after due delivery, call to be told order was missed off by accident and will be another 30 mins. 2.5 hours later for a watery curry and hard bhajis to arrive. 1st order was ok second order a disaster.

Mixed Grill was good but how on earth do you make the chicken in a curry hard and chewy? THIS is why we have stuck with Jahed for 15 years. Consistency is key!

Their serving food from a different property

Ordered through just eat,then had to call 1hr 30mins to find out where the food was they then took another 35 minutes after the food finally arrived, i will not be ordering again as they just lie on the phone

Bad reviews must be fake, we love a curry and it's the best we've had for a long time. Have 1 every week and not had a bad curry yet. Always fresh like its come just out oven.

Absolutely fantastic food and takeaway service cannot recommend highly enough. Great menu and choice and cannot fault how good the food is from here. 5*

Beautiful food, not to greasy, well spiced and expertly cooked. Great menu selection of different/special dishes, delivered on time with no problems. Best Indian takeout I've had for a long time

Ordered at 5:30, two hours later i had not received my order, i had to call them 3 times and every time they said it was on its way. My order never turned up and then they called to say that i spoke to their driver and told them to leave it in the porch, I don’t have a porch, they are thieves and charlatans, never ever order from here.

Always the best food and always on time

Home delivery on just eat. Several orders previously have been fine. This weekend an absolute disaster. Night totally spoiled despite paying well over £40 with a 25% discount. Late delivery and very incorrect order. Calls to rectify were ineffective despite promises. Lovely food but a lack of customer care and dishonesty is disappointing. We did not have a meal !!!!! A family night could have been salvaged with some customer care.

Really tasty food. Not too spicy and loads of flavour. We ordered on just eat as they had 25% off. But would happily pay full price for the fantastic quality and flavours. Good sized portions and well packed. We had a tuc box starter containing rice chips and somosas with sheish kebabs and chunks of chicken tikka. And really nice onion bhajis. This is a great value meal for 2 for under £12. We then had butter chicken and keema rice with chicken pakora. I had a tiger prawn stater. Very tasty. Delivery was fast and safe with a very courteous friendly driver. Only downside was there was too much for us to finish. But we really enjoyed what we had and will be back soon for another meal. We will try the restaurant too hopefully once we are able to. Can highly recommend this place for a great tasty meal

No longer here. Soon a Spanish tapas restaurant will open in its place

Never have the menu available. Can never pay buy card for a takeaway. VAT reasons???? Awful place, tried to focus on deserts for some reason. Employee young staff with no customer experience but they know it all. Avoid.

Went this evening and the place was closed. Spoke to a local man near by and he said its been opening and closing a lot recently and has had a change of owner etc. If thinking of going, id advise you ring ahead and make sure they are open!

Ordered online only for our order to be cancelled 40 mins later. Never used the restaurant before but won't be going there or bother ordering from them online again if that's how they treat customers. Clearly they don't need the custom anyway they can afford to cancel orders. Rude.

We have eaten here on numerous occasions and always found the food good so consistency is a factor in recommendation. It isn't the best Indian food in the UK but perfectly OK and the menu is extensive. I like the prawn dishes (plenty to choose from) and the vegetarian dishes are very tasty. Service in our experience is efficient and friendly. Prices are reasonable. The place does not serve alcoholic drinks but allows you to take your own alcohol and there is a very convenient store for purchase of this just a few doors down the road towards the town centre. As i said we have been here many times and would always come back here when in this part of town.

Food and service was excellent! Would reccomend to friends and family

Brilliant service 1st class food 5* hygiene rating Take your own drinks Would highly recomend this restautant

Estar aquí ahora, y tengo que decir que es probablemente uno de los mejores indios que he estado en un rato. El personal es genial. . Muy atento y buen sentido del humor. Excelente comida, muy sabroso. Sin duda volveremos. Gracias por el pan de cortesía:).

La comida está bien, extraño que nunca funciona así la máquina, siempre te preguntan para conseguir dinero en la máquina de rbs. Además nunca han el pato Juliette especial y no tienen más de 2 años. Simplemente actualizar su menú. En una fila de llevar en Sutton no hay restaurante Indio/curry decente ya Nanpan.

Four of us visited last night and it was spot on. Lovely food from a very wide menu. Take your own drinks, which makes it very good value . Great service. We will go more often.

Went in with a group of 14 friends, papadum orders were taken quickly, shortly our order was taken, the starters were fantastic, the mains were all delicious. The restaurant was quite busy but yet the service was excellent 👍🏾

Food was good like always, excellent portion size. This my regular curry house. Staff are friendly well looked after

I don't know why it's closed all the time

Good choices in menu, can accommodate large groups for seating, will adapt dishes if asked, can take your own drinks to accompany your meal and staff are polite.

Reservamos con antelación ya que un grupo de 11 a comer en 8. 30. Llegamos a tiempo. El lugar no estaba lleno, así que me pregunto por qué tuvimos que esperar hasta las 10. 30 servida con nuestro curry. Nos dieron la poppadoms bastante rápido y luego nada. Personalmente no quiero comer en este momento de la noche. Incluso después de esta larga espera la comida no servían juntos. Me dieron mi curry, pero no de arroz o nan. El arroz llegó después de al menos 5 minutos todos atrapados juntos como si hubiese sido recalentados. Por esta vez estaba tibia. curry Yo estaba compartiendo el arroz y nan con un amigo, así que sólo tenía 1 / 2 de arroz cada uno. La nan nunca llegó. Después de haber comido nuestro curry nos dijeron que no podían hacer cualquier panes Nan. Espantosa. Sin nada más en su lugar. Estoy seguro de que si yo no había pedido que se hubieran cargado por esperando que no nos consulte con una factura tan grande. Aquí no hay propina. Comida horrible. No quiero ir allí de nuevo. Muchos lugares en Sutton. curry No es éste.

Visited on Friday night after not visiting for a while due to previous manager turning the place into a mish mash of curry house and " teddylicious ice cream parlour" and banning alcohol " due to insurance reasons due to ice cream parlour" ?...... Anyway management has now changed and food is good and staff are great. The place was really quiet when we called and I feel that they deserve more customers

So when you order half tandoori, you receive chicken tikka pieces, this place is a rip off, yoghurt and mint sauce is that loud it is literally glowing in colour, the meal one of the worst Indians I've ever experienced, cold, rubber chicken, our advice go elsewhere for a far better authentic Indian meal.

Lovely food at a reasonable price. Can take in alcohol or buy soft drinks there. Young waiters who were trying hard but still learning.

Nice evening with the family,food was excellent, the wiaters are lovely and look after you well

Fantastic food fantastic service. I recommend this resturant to everybody. Very clean resturant and very tasty food #5star

The food is excellent and a bargain and the customer service is first class. I will be bringing my whole family there again, i strongly recommend it.

Excellent customer service and delightful food. Free wi-fi and quick service and will be definitely going there again

Can see why the place is empty most of the time. It's falling apart, also the toilets are gross. Food was very bland and not at all authentic, could of easily of been a Tesco curry meal deal but just double the price. On leaving we could see people sitting in a dark room on their phones, playing loud music too.

Recently changed hands but delivering excellent Indian cuisine and good value for money. Staff very attentive and ensured the evening went well. The food & service was excellent.

Staff are fantastic , helpful and friendly. The food is always incredibly tasty and beautifully cooked ... I always recommend this restaurant.

The service was great the food was great and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to people looking for an Indian cuisine to eat at 5 out of 5 stars .

Absolutely lovely evening but tarnished by a slight incident which the staff dealt with quickly and professionally. This tarnished the evening but not by fault of the restaurant or staff. The food was delivered to the standards we expected and always agreeable. The price of just shy of £100 for 7 people was more than acceptable. The attentiveness from staff was very welcome and helped the evening run smoothly. I'd like to thank the staff that dealt with a rather uncomfortable occurrence and hope the matter was suitably resolved. The colleagues concerned went above and beyond to deal with the matter which was very welcomed. Many thanks to them all. I can recommend this restaurant with my thumbs up.

Three of us visited here on Saturday night after going to the local cinema, we popped into the local Tesco to get some drinks as this is a take your own drinks place, we arrived around 7pm and were given seats near the front of restaurant. Food ordered and glasses filled, we sat back and enjoyed the evening, we all enjoy our food and thought the atmosphere was good considering the place wasn't full.

Food was very good maybe a tad on the salty side. Service was excellent seeing as there was just one member of staff on. However the restaurant was quite cold and seemed to only be heated by one electric heater.

Just thawed out enough to write this review, the place is freezing I heard at last 2 customers ask to turn heating up. Got there at 6.15 and got our starter at 7.12 when he come to collect plates at 7.30 we asked if the mains were going to be long as we had been there 1hr and 30 mins and the waiter said not long around 2 minutes as I've just left the kitchen and chef had them on. Hmmm 20 minutes later they turn up. They was nothing like the description and were the blandest curries we have ever tasted the keema rice had bullets of over cooked keema in it and the naan was the tastiest part of the meal.We never waited for the waiter to bring the bill because i wanted to get home before sun rise so went down stairs to pay and complain. All they said was sorry. When we said you actually still want us to pay full price they knocked £3 off. I feel sorry for tedilious underneath as we had a desert from there a few days before and it was the best crepe and waffle ever. Maybe theres an idea just stick to deserts!

Really nice food. Restaurant is upstairs.

This is a well established but smart and modern Indian Restaurant in the middle of Sutton Coldfield. Very friendly service and great menu options. Generous portions of everything. Really tasty.

This is the first time I have used Bolliwood. I placed my order through Hungry House. From the very beginning the menu at Bolliwood was extensive and informative. The dishes I ordered were of an amazing high quality. When delivered they were pipping hot. The meat dishes were in a lovely thick sauce, when they say thick sauce they mean it. The naan was lovely and light and not massive and doughy. The rice was very hot but extremely tasty. The whole experience was superb. I cannot wait to go and take family and friends there and eat in at the restaurant, I would give this establishment 10+ it was that fantastic. Thank you so much Bolliwood, keep up the great standards, you have got it so right

Have been coming to this curry house for years and loved it for its great food, friendly service and bring your own booze but things have now changed for the worse! arrived at the restaurant to be greeted by Ice Cream stickers all over window and saw it had become "Teddylicious ice cream parlour "as well as Curry house. The curry was tasteless and full of pools of oil all over it. I asked for a lager glass and a gentleman appeared to inform my friend and I that because of " insurance policy" for premises alcohol is no longer allowed on premises. The guy let us drink our beer as a one off but not in future. The staff refunded the cost of the food but the last two meals have been poor and we won't return. If you are a teetotal with a sweet tooth and not too fussed about a quality curry then this is the place for you but otherwise I would try elsewhere. It's a shame as loved the place

I went with my husband and two sons for a meal here last night. The restaurant was busy as usual and so it is always worth booking in advance like I did so that you get a table. The restaurant is clean and light and low music on in the background, the staff are lovely and helpful. You do need to go to the off-licence nextdoor to get your drinks -I think this is an add bonus! We all had starters as well as poppadum's these were lovely. For our main I had tandoori chicken on a sizzling plate and the boys had balti 's all were well cooked and very tasty with lots of meat in them. We also ordered a portion of rice and three naan breads . The meal came to £61.00 which were thought was reasonable for the amount of food ordered.

Eat here quite often & the food never fails to impress - Good service, reasonable prices & you can take your own drinks

Always keep there standards high, food is always consistent, a lovely place to eat aswell as it being cheap as you can bring your own drinks!

Second time of eating in this restaurant it is beautiful food very hot and well presented would definitely recommend this to other people best curry around by far

I went with my girlfriend Saturday night after a few drinks and was totally amazed at the service we received, totally rude , served the food by not saying a word to us and literally plonked the food down hard on the table and just walked away , didn't smile or talk or say one word to us ,awful service and not customer friendly at all I really was amazed !!! the only plus point was that the food was very tasty so well done chef , but waiting staff need training big time

Got a take away collection from here and it was poor. Sauces were neon coloured, pathia BRIGHT red, mint yoghurt sauce "glow in the dark green". Watery and tasteless, felt like there was limited ingredients to thicken it up. Popadums soft. I've had a load of curries from a huge range of places, some better than others, but this was right down there at the bottom.

Went here before xmas and wasn't that impressed. To be fair it was defiantly better this time. Lovely poppadums and dips. Starters very good. Mains not too bad... Maybe you just get used to certain styles. Staff were good though and friendly.... So to be honest I'll go back again. It's good value and being able to take own drinks helps with the budget.

Excellent Service, Excellent Food, Very attentive staff. No complaints at all.There is an off-licence next door. The corkage is free at Bollywood.

As soon as I walked in I was politely greeted with a menu and a seat without any delay they regularly checked back in case we needed any other items. The waiters were very friendly and the timing is very fast. The food is absolutely delicious I would recommend this to anyone.

The food was presented and tasted beautiful. The staff was very polite especially our waiter, the young man with the glasses. Overall a very good time and I strongly recommend it as a place to eat.

A very good restaurant which has a huge range of Indian foods to choose from. Waiters were polite and service was amazing

The food is amazing, it is always amazing and always taste good. The staff are very nice and welcoming and their service is on point. I had a chicken tikka massala with a peshwari naan bread, the sweetness of both combined gave a mouth watering taste for only £9.55 which I thought was a barvain. Also take advantage of bringing your own drinks, there is an off-licence next door which is cheaper than asda!

Decided to try this place again as its within walking distance for us, went there Saturday night, about half full with most tables either eating mains or finished. Shown to the table and thrown a menu. After 10 minutes of waiting we called the waitress to see if we could have wine glasses for wine we had brought, after 5 minutes glasses arrived. Then waiting 10 minutes assuming that waitress would take our order and USE A CORKSCREW AND OPEN OUR WINE, we left totally amazed at their lack of interest/customer service.The look on the waitresses face was 'I don't care'. So thank you for previous meals and never again, its Imani's everytime.

When coming to this restaurant with my friends it was so good. We was welcomed to a nice cosy atmosphere. The service was brilliant, the food was delivered so quickly. The chefs cooking was absolutely delicious, great amount of spices added and was very tasty! Me & my friends ordered poppadoms, starters, 3 curries and rice and it only cost 24 pound!! The staff are very polite and they defiantly make sure that you enjoy the food! You can go to the nearest shop and bring along all your own drinks & wine, yet they still provide you with there own glasses and cutlery. Me and my friends come to this restaurant daily, I honestly recommend it, not a bad word to say. At the end of a meal you also get a few after eights & they even hold the door open for you when you leave, great place! After such a tasty meal, sometimes the staff offer you a glass of mango lassi made absolutely fresh, and to top it off they say it's on the house! It was so nice to try & it was a good taste to end the night after such a lovely meal. Honestly you should come along and try out this restaurant. No doubt about it, one of the best Indian restaurants I've been too!

My wife and I eat her on a Saturday night, the first floor was totally booked out, so we sat on a table for two near the kitchen side of the restaurant, we had poppadoms, a starter, two curries, rice and a naan bread. Both curries were very good with lots of flavour and all this for £23, I would call this good value! You can take your own drinks with you and they provide the glasses, the staff were very busy on the night but still gave good service. This restaurant is defiantly worth a try!

Good Food, lots of choice, excellent value. Service was very good. Bring your own drinks, so not an expensive night out.

I don't usually write reviews but this place is the exception! Went in with friends for a meal after a night out, initially we were greeted by really great staff that opened the door for us as we walked in (I've not seen that in a long time) which really makes you feel special! They were really busy and we didn't have a booking (I'll remember to book next time) but they really tried and got us seated quickly and upstairs as well which was a treat (being able to look out the window from upstairs when eating really appealed to me, this is the one of the few places in Sutton that I know where it's actually possible to do that).The starters arrived promptly, brought out on this amazing sizzling dish! The sizzler we order (Bolliwood thal special) was amazing! The aroma and the sounds of the chicken and other items sizzling and cracklings on the dish truly made your mouth water. We enjoyed our amazing starters followed by our mains (some really unique dishes on that menu that surprised us) however, the gastronomic experience didn't end there! We ordered a few Mango lassi's and those honestly were the best I've tasted, wasn't to sweet and the mango taste wasn't overwhelming, you could really tell that it was prepared fresh with fresh ingredients! To round of the evening, the Mango lassi's that we ordered, were taken off the bill and it was on the house!!! I have no complaints about this place! Could not fault it! Cannot wait to go back!

Arrived to a very nice welcoming, nice and cosy atmosphere, the staff were very nice and friendly, the food came quickly, the Balti was delicious, very enjoyable. The price was very good for what we ate. Will definitely go there again.

Although not the best Indian around as we can waddle back after a bottle or six is a bonus. The food is certainly above average at a good price, staff friendly. With the bonus of no license it ticks most boxes.

Food always consistently good. Staff always attentive. One of my favourite restaurants would highly recommend. Can take your own drinks which is a big plus.

Nice to find a bring your own drinks restaurant in Sutton. Starter (Paneer Tikka) was very good. Main course (Vegetable Dhansak) was OK. Bill was wrong, not by much- but disappointing. Overall rating would have been higher without this. Will probably return.

I'm a local so finding a take your own booze place in easy walking distance is brilliant. This place was priced great, the off license next door cheaper than ASDA so it all started well. In a nutshell popadums, dips and starters, nan were absolutely brilliant. All our mains (we were 3 mates) were horrible. Strange colour and smell and we all had normal stuff we've had everywhere else, Jalfrezzi etc. Reminded me of an out of date home pride cook in sauce..gloopy.... and the waiters were terrible, rude and a little too aggressive and pushy. I'll try again as everywhere should get a second chance and I really hope it's better! but I'll give it a few months first to sort itself out.

Takeaway from here is very pleasant

Dined here as a group of 6 friends on a busy Saturday night. We got served quickly and staff were friendly. I had the chicken shashlick which was lovely! Everyone I spoke to said that their meal was lovely too. The bill was a good price too, I would definitely come back.

This place is nearby so stopped for a take away one night with a friend, food was the most unnatural colour for a curry and flavours were not up to scratch. Given the money expected much better. Haven't gone back since.

Have been here a few times when I visit relatives in the town. Have had some nice food here, especially the vindaloos. Went at the end of September and was so disappointed. We had booked a table for 9 near the window, but when we got there we were told we had to sit somewhere else.. After some chat between a couple of the waiters we eventually were sat down where we had originally requested when we booked. The waiters were off-hand to say the least and one hovered by our table to clear away the moment we had finished something. The other waiter was just rude. The food was very uninspiring and my vindaloo had the consistency of soup, and no taste other than just a burning heat. This was such a difference to my last visit. I wonder if they have new ownership? It's not often we get to meet up and eat as a family due to our UK locations, so it was even more disappointing to think that our treasured time was spoilt by this experience. Not sure if I'll be back as there are many other good curry houses in the vicinity.

Chicken and King Prawn Aktabi is one of my favourite curries ever. Bring your own Black Label as well so you can save a bit of money on drinks.

We have been here more times than I can count. Lovely and friendly staff and reliably good food. Last night was good but some of the meals were brought to the table cold - unusual! We were chatting at the end and told by a passing waiter "we are closing now" - bit off hand & bit rude like being thrown out of the pub at closing time. We've had your money now...Oh and not enough After Dinner mints for everyone. Get your act back together Bolliwood please.

We have been going to Bollywood for over 3 years and always had good food and good service.we have eaten in many other local curry houses over the years, and not had such consistently good food and service.Bollywood is usually relatively quiet, making it a calm and a nice place to eat, unlike many of the other local curry houses, that frequently have people standing over you waiting for your table and ridiculously noisy and hot.

I went with my family to this place last night, foolishly trying a change from our regular indian restaurant. On arrival I asked for a table for 4 and was met with a hard stare. 30 seconds the man pointed to the chairs near the bar. Shortly afterwards with no words we were ushered upstairs to a seat. There were a few people downstairs and no one upstairs.We already were dismayed at the reception. We were handed menus by the man who "greeted" us and ordered some poppadoms. These came with bright red food colouring onions. We were told that it was cash only as the machines were broken, we hear that it has been like that for a while. I wonder why?So far the atmosphere and customer service was dire, but we thought we would give it a chance.We were relieved when a different waiter came to take our order. We shouldn't have been as he was worse. We asked a question about an item on the (uninspiring) menu only to be told to hurry up as there were customers downstairs! At this point we said we were leaving. The waiter aggressively 'apologised' and we said we are still leaving. He said 'look I have said sorry! You can have a free rice'. He tried to continue with our order regardless of what we said and we said we were still going. At this point he said ok then you pay £10 for the 3 poppadoms! Outrageous. By now my children were rather scared by this waiter. We paid the menu price for the poppadoms and left. I think this speaks for itself. Avoid at all costs.

We have been here several times, and each time we have had excellent service and fantastc food. I would say it is the best place around to have a curry.I celebrated my birthday with friends and had a great evening.

We visited Bolliwood this evening about 5.30pm,firstly being asked to be seated on the ground floor with the door open and the noise from the traffic. I explained could we sit upstairs,it took a few moments before I said we'll go elsewhere and then we got seated upstairs. Our order was taken and that was it really, the food arrived after a very long wait,it was awful,tasteless and full of colouring. There was no customer service at all. I don't think they understand English in the slightest.When it came to paying they said their card machine was out of order, so we had to pay in cash. Didn't leave a tip and why should we as there was nothing to rave about in any form. In all our time eating at restaurants in Sutton Coldfield this was worst experience even Yate's across the road gives great service and food. Be it at your peril. Worse was to come a big group came in to eat and asked to be seated at the big round table and were instantly told no that's it and yet the restaurant was emply,where is the customer service these people took the smaller table but I'd have walked awful awful awful.Bolliwood you need to improve because we won't be back even if you're the last place open in Sutton Coldfield.

Been here several times now we love it - So chilled, staff very pleasant. Food gorgeous & it's great to go on a Friday or sat night once in a while as a little treat!

Have been here a few times now, with and without the kids and have not had a bad meal. The curries I find to be really tasty and the balti dishes that the children eat are perfect for them. They are not licensed so you have to take your own alcohol which makes for a cheap meal! The service is very good and all in all we had a very pleasant evening.

We visited this restaurant for the first time last night with some friends who are regulars there. It was quite busy but we were served quickly. My husband and I had the chicken pakoras to start then a biryani to follow, prawn for him and the special one for me. They were absolutely beautiful but absolutely huge portions. Nevertheless we persevered as they were so good! The restaurant is BYO which keeps the price down. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and will certainly return.

As you'll see from my reviews I am a curry fan so I like to try out different places. I have been here a couple of times now but wouldn’t say I was overly impressed.The service is good but I would say the food is average. All the curry’s I have tried taste the same and are all very sweet.

We visited Bolliwood Balti for the first time recently and would definitely return. Service was OK though not as welcoming and friendly as many local restaurants but it was efficient. The balti prawn dish was really good as was the vegetarian balti. The restaurant does not sell beer and wine but you can take your own and there is a shop almost next door that you can pop out too. This makes for a very good priced meal as the restaurant prices are reasonable and you are only paying shop prices for alcohol. The food was as good as any we have had in this neighbourhood so overall, we regard this as a good place. It gets extremely busy at weekends so booking is essential.

Visited on a weeknight with a friend. There was only one other table occupied,, but can imagine would be more of a buzz at the weekends, has upstairs and downstairs seating. Food was really nice and there was good advice about the dishes and willingness to make small amendments. The price was reasonable, enhanced by the fact that you can bring your own bottle. I would definitely go back, in my opinion the best Indian restaurant at mid range price in Sutton Coldfield.

Having read other reviews I was sceptical about trying this place, but the food was lovely, meat very tender and spicing nice- poppadoms and dips good, and my main was well cooked and flavoursome. One thing I can't argue with is negativity reference atmosphere although it was a Tuesday night it was incredibly quiet, although this lead to a speedy service. The staff were welcoming and I would definitely eat here again.

Food was nice and prices good and you can take in your own drinks which is a bonus as there is a shop nearby. Had a lovely window seat which was also nice upstairs. Only issue was we felt rushed and they bring out course after course within seconds and then when you've finished they seem to hover waiting for you to leave. I would go back but ask them to leave a gap between courses.

Booked party of 20, we ended up on 2 septate tables. The first table was served and the second table had to wait 15 mins to be served the staff didn't seem to care. Popadom condiments was very artificial and all the mains seemed like they had been covered with sugar (everyone commented that their food was to sweet) when we got the bill the second table was charged £20 more than what it should have been, when we questioned this they wouldn't have any of it even though we had a break down of everyone's orders, we spoke to the manager after getting nowhere with the clueless staff and they charged us £14 for popadoms and had also charged us for the first tables. Never going there again.

My son has recently moved to Sutton Coldfield so we are trying out all the restaurants in the Town I had noticed the Bolliwood & although it appeared small the tables etc looked well laid out.We made a booking for a Wednesday evening on my birthday for 3 of us When we arrived the "senior" waiter or owner met us & with a "Basil Fawlty" type greeting & ushered us upstairs There we were seated by two much younger waiters & the evening improved They were very attentive & information on the dishes We took their advice on the starters & main courses & were not disappointed As the restaurant is unlicensed you take your own drinks so the evening was quite reasonable We plan to return soon

Me and my friend went 10 pm on Saturday night didn't book arrived and restaurant was busy but we were quickly seated upstairs in Window. Served straight away to poppadoms and chuckney . We both had chicken balti but couldn't eat it all so waiter Bruno Mars look a like bagged us both a doggy bag will definitely be back .

Went here early on Saturday night. Not really any atmosphere in the place and the food was pretty poor. I like my curries and believe me this wasn't one of my best.

Visited here bank holiday weekend as a group of 4. We arrived around 8pm and were the only people in there, so cannot really comment on the atmosphere. Were given a table upstairs by the window looking out onto the street. A little while later there were another two customers. The restaurant is quite big.Service was quick, which would be expected when it is so quiet. Poppadoms were nice and the salad and sauces it came with. We all had different dishes for starters and mains. The shami kebab was OK, a little dry, I have had much better. The curry I had for my main was nice although slightly bland, it was cooked very hot so took a while to cool down. The chicken was tasty and cooked nicely. Everyone else enjoyed their main meals. They do not serve your food out on to the plates like some places; however not all places do this but as it is in Sutton centre and therefore slightly more expensive than others I would have expected service to be a little better. This was a one off as we tend to stay to a couple curry houses nearer to where we live, which are amazing, so on this occasion we did not mind. I would recommend it if you were in Sutton having drinks and wanted a curry.

Best value indian restaurant in Sutton Coldfield. Service is good and like all Indian restaurant's service can be slow at weekends but that has not put us off going atleast once a month. They do take aways but we have not used this service so can't comment.

Me and my partner visited here along with several others in a group to celebrate my friends 21st. The table was all arranged for us in the centre of the restaurant (upstairs) and looked wonderful.We had a range of appetisers to start with as we considered our menus. We loved that the staff gave us a great deal of time and allowed to us to happily catch and drink without pushing us for our orders. The appetisers were delicious and there was more than enough for the size of our group.There is a very large selection of dishes on the menu, and each dish is available to all levels of spice. As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised at how many options were available for me, along with the huge range of fish dishes for pescatarians. A treat!We ordered our starters along with our mains, with the groups starters all arriving at the same time, around 15 minutes later. Me and partner ordered a portion of vegetable samosas to share, they were wonderful and very fresh and warm. Nice to have a little salad too!Our mains came around 15 minutes afterwards. All dishes came at the same time and there was no problems with any of our meals, including all side dishes. I had the vegetable biriani with a naan bread - lush! Huge portion sizes, fresh and warm food, and delicious flavour. My partnered felt the same way with his meal.The staff were more than happy for us to enjoy our own bought birthday cake, and were by no means rushing us to ask (or pay) for the bill. We had plenty of time to continue drinking and chatting.As you can bring your drinks, there is a very comfortable atmosphere and it's nice to enjoy your meal with a good beer :) A nice touch!Overall, we felt we had a quality and tasty meal, and very, very good value. I would definitely visit again and I was impressed at their relaxed atmosphere. Thanks!

Visited on a Friday night, whilst we arrived around 7.00 pm the restaurant was fairly quiet, our party of six were seated in a corner overlooking the street. The atmosphere later in the evening was very good, the service & food quality were also very good indeed, the meals were served promptly & the staff were quite attentive, the food bill for six was excellent value since it saved us a packet with 'bring your own drinks.' Overall a great night out, we would certainly visit again when we next come down to Sutton Coldfield.

I took my girlfriend here after not being able to get a table at panache (yes my bad) service was very poor ! I had to ask for popadoms .....ask for a drink .....ask for a menu!!!.....When popadoms come them they were dreadful and the onion/sauces etc was just poor! I ask to order my main..... (I think they were expecting me to cook it myself) the guy just walked off!!!!! I ended up walking out!!! Managed to take her else where and made it up to her! Also the place is a dive .... Food up the walls etc yukkk

As you'll see from my reviews I am a curry fan so I like to try out different places. I am now reconsidering gambling on new places after this awful experience.The service to start off with was poor, even for a typical indian restaurant. So if you go there expecting an experience, you're not going to get it.The selection of food was so bog standard I felt myself daydreaming going through the menu. The nan bread was in stingy portions, the dips for the poppadoms were atrocious. Mint sauce tasted like salt sauce.The starters were average but the worst was yet to come. The curries we ordered took forever to come out. They arrived warm and not hot (which made us think it had been sitting in their kitchen waiting for a waiter to notice it). To say the curry tasted mediocre is putting it incredibly nicely. The chicken was so dry I ended up having to order tap water (which the waiter seemed offended to be asked to get).Even if the food here was free I still wouldn't go. You'd assume if a restaurant serves such cheap rubbish that they'd attempt to provide a decent atmosphere, you'd be wrong in that assumption.Next time I'll stick to restaurants I know or from personal recommendations!

I have eaten here many times and it is always excellent. The service is wonderful and the menu has a nice mix of traditional dishes and house specials all at very reasonable prices. In fact I don't think I have ever had the same meal twice.Easily the best in Sutton.

Really superb food. Bring your own drinks. A very affordable night out. Staff are always happy to see you and ready with advice on what meals to choose
