Absolutely love the curry from here and have one nearly every week. I am gutted to hear they are having to close because of the utility bill situation we are experiencing across the UK. 😟 sad times

First time visit to this restaurant and it was fantastic. Great Service, Friendly Staff, excellent food. Everything we ordered was delicious. From the stuffed pepper, Tandoori chicken and Prawn Purée all were good size portions and great tasting food. All main courses were good size portions and food was all delicious. Will definitely return and would highly recommend

Disgusting! Been a customer for years. Ordered takeaway, asked twice on the phone if the driver accepted a card machine as it stated on website. Tony has never accepted card over the phone as it costs the business. Old fashioned, but asked to clarify the website comment.He said yes. Driver turned up, no card machine. Inconvenience, I asked to pay over the phone. No. Ok, as you know me can I come in at my inconvenience ! & pay you tomorrow . No. Took the food back. Waste of food. Disgraceful. You do not deserve customers let alone loyal ones ! Hope you are happy with being proud of wasting food & disappointing a loyal customer. Utter disgrace & appalling way of conducting yourselves I will take my long loyal business elsewhere

Mar 2022. First visit to Darjeeling in 25 years. Used to be favourite restaurant until takeaway and delivery services were there obvious priority. This revisit was on a Wednesday evening and not busy, lacking any atmosphere. Normal Asian curry menu on offer. Chose set meal for 2 with 2 lagers. Food ok but not memorable. Service was good. Cost £45 - not best value for money in my experience.

We called here the other night as we was carrying out a job near by and at the end of our shift we got hungry as you do and the lads and I wanted a curry so we ended up trying this place and i must say it was a nice curry indeed.

Being a Monday evening my two other favourite restaurants were closed...so a decision was made to go to The Darjeeling! Hadn't been there before and can say may not be in a hurry to go again! Food and service was on par with other places but not on my fav list...!

Lived by this restaurant for many years for unknown reason and visited for first time and pleased we went. Early evening for popadoms with pickles and yoghurt dip, chicken tikka and lamb tikka, chicken rezallea, chicken madras, naan and rice with a bottle of shiraz. Good service and excellent food so we will be back

Travelled up to Shirley from North Devon to visit family so naturally needed to try an Indian curry!!! Phone ordered my meal, chicken tikka balti with peshwari naan and onion bhaji, asked to collect at 8pm. When arrived at restaurant I was met by the very friendly staff and food was ready for me. Food was very nice, not greasy at all, with extra poppadoms and onion salad etc added for free. Thank you.

The Darj just never disappoints! Always amazing tasty curry. The restaurant itself is nothing fancy so dont expect to be blown away with the decor however you do find the best indian restaurant's often look this way! This place is about one thing... the food. I usually order the chicken or lamb Pathia and ive never tasted one this good, its outstanding. The naan breads great, especially the peshwari. Chicken tikka massala, Biriyani and Balti are all excellent. A proper curry!

For a Tuesday night it was busy no surprise there as the food is really good. I had Chicken Tikka Masala (without the lamb mince) very tasty. My son enjoyed the Chicken Partha again very tasty. Both were decent sized portions with plenty of Chicken. Definitely recommend this indian restaurant. The staff were friendly and were there as and when we needed them..Will definitely go back.

Covid-19 precautions were not in evidence. Waiters had masks but worn below their chins, gloves were not worn. Waiters also made no attempt to distance from customers, standing very close to tables when taking orders. Guests were seated at adjacent tables, despite there being plenty of room in the restaurant. Chutney tray was moved directly from one table to another. On the plus side, they did record details of guests. Oh, and the food was pretty good!

There is a great range to the menu and you can’t fault the quality of the food!

I have been coming to this restaurant with my family and friends for nearly 30 years. Service is always excellent & food is high quality & reasonably priced. Staff are happy to recommend dishes or make changes to existing dishes to meet your needs. As this is a licensed restaurant the addition of drinks adds to the cost of the meal but usually a meal for 4 with popadoms, starter, main + sundries & coffee/ dessert comes to around £20 per head

This place has been here for years. You know why? - because it is excellent. Superb Indian food, nice quiet atmosphere, great presentation and faultless service. We have been several times over the last few months and it is consistently first rate. Much better than these trendy, modern Indian dining experiences that are popping up all over the place. This place is the one to beat in Shirley. Very good value indeed. You won't be disappointed.

Ok, so it's cheap and service is prompt, but the food is not good. Fish tikka was rank, with mouthfuls of bones, and the mains were poor imitations of what a good curry in Brum should be. Best thing about.the place was the hot towels and after 8 mints. Avoid.

As some of your other reviewers have said, it is a rather tired restaurant in need of some refurbishment. They crammed twenty of us on two long tables, back to back, with the chairs very close together. The food itself was very good, everyone was satisfied with it and I suppose that was the main thing but the service was poor and amateurish - perhaps they are not used to serving largish parties. It would have been better if our food had been served in dishes as normal and not poured in a messy pile on our plates. We ordered two beers and were very surprised when the waiter asked for the money ! This applied to everyone, tabs not acceptable. The bill for our table was a handwritten scribble we had to sort out ourselves and they were reluctant to accept card payment for the meals. In summary, good standard of food but staff training very necessary including more modern methods of payment !

I was at a trade exhibition in Coventry on Thursday and knowing what Birmingham traffic would be like,plus it was tea time I thought have a drive and look for a Indian restaurant in the Solihull,South Birmingham area and had a drive round the area and saw this restaurant in Shirley so decided to park the van and have my tea there.

We decided to try this restaurant because of it's close proximity to where we live and the easy free parking (in the public car park behind the restaurant). The food was reasonably priced and cooked to a good standard. There was a good choice of vegetarian dishes and desserts. The only criticism we had was that the décor was a bit tired and the place could do with sprucing up - it was reminiscent of eating out in the 1980's. On the whole we would certainly recommend the place.

The food was all fabulous from the poppdoms to the main. Highly recommended. Good value for money too. The constant flow of customers eating in and take aways going out suggest this is consistently a great place to eat.

Honestly such a fabulous time with friends and family this evening it's such a shame that the food and the service let this place down. It was all going so well until the main meals arrived and my mums was too hot for her liking and she likes hot curries so for her to complain and say it was to hot is bad. Also my sisters was the same. When this was bought to the managers attention his reply was well you should have told us earlier. But how can you inform someone if nobody has come to ask about your meal. Such a sad moment.

Terrible food. Have family that live in Shirley. When we visit we always stop off here and get the kids a curry. They always look forward to it. Decided we would eat in while they made the take away. Onion barge and chicken pakora starter. Both. not the best. Batter was soft and not crispy. Tandoori fish with salad main. Salad looked old and one of those ones out of a bag. Fish was no way tandoori as didn’t have the colour. Not good had a few mouthfuls and left the rest. King prawn rogan Josh. Not one king prawn in it! Complained to waiter. He said they cut up the king prawns! We said that’s so you don’t have to put so many in the dish. We ordered king prawn and paid for king prawn, so would expect whole king prawns. The bits of prawn that were in the sauce were tough and not nice. Left it as couldn’t eat it. Very poor quality food. They halved to price of the king prawn dish on the bill. We paid over £100 with the takeaway as well. Won’t ever eat there again and grandchildren will be having a takeaway from another Shirley curry place. They should be ashamed of the food they are letting their drunk again chef( waiters words,not mine)send out of the kitchen.

I’m giving this restaurant 5 stars, although I initially considered 4. The service was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and dedicated to ensuring we enjoyed every moment of our meal. The food was good overall. I must admit that when I think of a mixed grill, I expect it served sizzling with onions and the full shebang, but here it arrived plated instead. The butter chicken also included coconut which I wasn't expecting and which was on me for not checking the ingredients. However, the replacement dish of Punjabi chicken was an excellent recommendation, with just the right level of spice. There was a small oversight of not bringing water, but this was minor given the outstanding service. As a self-confessed foodie, I have high expectations ehen it comes to my food 😋

Wishing Mo and the team the very best of luck and success for the future. Oasis has been part of our family for over 25 years! They’ve made us feel welcome every time and it’s been our home from home. My father has done work there for them. Son loves the lambs chops and ate his first raw onions. Nothing would be better to see his sons reopen, but nevertheless, thank you for all the good times. x
