Very rude and unprofessional staff. I went in today around 2:20pm and ordered food the guys very rude behind the counter and when I went to pay for my goods he said cash only when I used the card machine the night before. Dodgey and tax fraud businesses trying to dodge the Tax man but don’t know that they lost a valuable customer

We recently dined at Desi Dera in Birmingham from London , and it was a delightful experience! The restaurant offers a warm, welcoming ambiance that instantly makes you feel at home. The place is impeccably clean, and the aroma of freshly cooked desi food fills the air, making you hungry even before you start eating. One minor issue is parking, but that’s easily overlooked once you step inside. The quality of the food is outstanding—freshly prepared, fragrant, and beautifully presented. Every dish reflects the effort and attention to detail that goes into making the meal a memorable experience. The staff deserves special praise; they are courteous, attentive, and genuinely make you feel comfortable. The crowd is diverse, with people of all backgrounds enjoying their meals, which adds to the lively atmosphere. I highly recommend Desi Dera to anyone visiting Birmingham. Congratulations to the team for maintaining such high standards and creating such a fantastic dining experience. This is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves authentic desi cuisine

Now here’s a place that’s sadly went down the gutter last I came here was in 2021 with the family I went last night and the service sadly has gone down the drain down the garbage. As I finished up paying for the food I asked to pay by card and one of the waiters lied to my face and said “cash only card machine not working” when that’s a stone cold lie as I went with my uncle years back and paid by card that time and they just out of nowhere said cash only and thankfully one of the waiters was polite enough for me to give me the benefit of the doubt and paid by card anyway. After that experience this will be the last time I’ll visit here.

Love the food here. Food not only looked good but was really tasty and was made to additional request I made. Everything was perfect. Malai Boti, Kebabs, Karahi even mint chutney was superb (had a few refills of chutney) Service was very good and staff were very courteous. Price wise it wasn’t very expensive. A few Parking places available right outside and some on street free parking also available.

Food: Ordered Lamb bhuna medium, and chicken palak mild. Both arrived extra hot, so they ignored our preferences. Plus I have a feeling they ignored the preferences because it was all pre-cooked for a couple of days like Roti Junction style. The only two items that were fresh was the cheese naans and the boiled rice. Plus they don’t have ice, which restaurant in 2024 doesn’t have ice? Service: the lady that served us was very friendly and interacted with our kids. She brought everything to us without any delays and was quite attentive. Atmosphere: it’s Alum Rock at the end of the day, so you have to be prepared, for example you’ll find guys from other families seated around just love to stare at you, or are extra loud as they love the sound of their own voice. Won’t really go back here again, unless it’s for starters and sides, as everything else is pre-cooked a few days ago and will upset your stomach.

Food: chicken curry - bit bland, not many pieces of chicken. Lamb curry - much better, good amount of meat and flavour. Roti/naan - awful, just awful. Mixed grill - lamb chipped over cooked, rubber chewy and way too much salt, probably the worst chops ever. The lamb tikka was okay but bland, chicken tikka so so and seekh kebab was good. Pity these guys are still serving boycotted drinks, shame on them. The place was very quiet but the staff were pretty attentive, watch them as you load you up with naan and roti not ordered which were made likely fron previous orders. Not a place I'd return to for a meal. Meh in one word.

I came with my family too this restaurant and we ordered mix grill chicken jalfrezi and lamb karai naan and chips . The mix grill was fresh and lovely. But the chicken and lamb was disgusting it tasted burnt and old. I had complained to the manager and he took both dishes back and he cane back with then and they were not fresh at all it tasted like they just put salt and chilli and heated it up. They both tasted burnt again and when I called the manager to explain that they both tasted the same , he hid inside and did not come and speak to us. I will never recommend this restaurant its waste of money and I had to pay the full price aswell. Manager was very unprofessional but the lady who served us was very polite and sympathetic. Would not recommend to anyone.

Hot evening, the seating on right hand side room must of had at least 60 to 70 people, no AC, no ventilation, no fans, I saw mothers standing with their babies waving air, I asked 3 staff members including the main person, all 3 didn't care or offer to understand and work on a solution, I will be reporting this as their premises needs to be inspected, money over basic standards. Waiters literally were sweating, wouldnt trust their standards it was simply rushed, lack of staff numbers and expertise, food in my opinion not worth it nor tasty, a real below par dinner. Do not spend your money here there are far better places. A real need to recruit an experienced head manager who shows professionalism, empathy and leads by standards which others should follow including hygiene practices.
