Divine Restaurant in Solihull

We've walked past Divine for the last 6 years, thinking what an odd place to have a restaurant but always saying it looks inviting, we'll have to try it out. Finally we dined here last Saturday evening for a family members birthday. What a gem, the decor is inviting, and interactive lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere. We found the staff team welcoming, friendly, and attentive even though it was a busy night for them. We noted one person on another table was being quite rude to the staff, we felt embarrassed at the behaviour towards the team, but the staff took it with very good grace. We all ordered starters and mains. Each of us enjoyed our choices, very tasty, perfectly executed, and plenty of food. Only dropped one star for service, as we had to ask for water three times before it came. We will definitely be returning. It's a great night out, lovely tasty food, and local to our family home. Thank you to the chefs and front of house team ..it really was.. Divine 😁

Attended here for the second time after I enjoyed my first visit with the family. Second time around I wasn't disappointed at all, the atmosphere was really good despite how busy it was. The food was really good and I would recommend the King Prawn Banarasi Madras. The staff were really friendly and were polite despite how busy they were, Read and Jab especially who worked tirelessly. I will attend again at some point

The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing

For the last year I've been nagging my wife to try this place and finally we did tonight. In a nutshell, I was right in wanting to come here. Walking in the venue looks nice, classy and stylish. Greeted by the waiter Jab who saw us to the table and gave us time to decide what we wanted. After choosing and giving the order it didn't take too long for the food to arrive. Starters we choose were lovely and then followed by the main dishes. Again great flavour and spice. Jab the waiter was super busy going back and forth as it seemed like he was by himself, but despite this he did well managing the floor. The service because of this was a little slow but I wouldn't take anything away from it other than a really good overall experience. Pricing of the meal wasn't bad either. A place I will most likely return to as it's round the corner. Update: Went back and was fortunate to see the partner of the business. Read (Business Partner) was really welcoming and friendly. The restaurant was busy but the timings for food from order wasn't bad considering how busy they were. They were also getting orders for takeaway too which was adding to it, but that's something I think is becoming normal with most takeaways. Food was bang on point again 👌🏽

My Dad (Robert De Nero) and I have been coming to Devine for the last 6 years, the food and service is always top notch

Visited here tonight with a friend who had been before. Food was amazing, staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Me and my mayo mad mate will definitely be back! Very impressed 👏

Great choice and quality. They have some different choices compared to other restaurants.

Very clean, very friendly Staff and couldn't do enough for us. Food was fantastic and hot. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for a lovely evening

Waiting ages for food and the bill. Staff were slow. Save your money go elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing food will be coming here again honestly if u haven’t came yet your are missing out

All was lovely. Food was very nice Clean environment Service brilliant. Atmosphere is what you make it Will definitely recommend

Outstanding service: friendly and professional. The menu selection excellent. Fabulous food which is quality. The team look after you without being overpowering and the atmosphere is relaxed. Excellent and we will most definitely be returning.

My first visit and everything was excellent. Great service, lovely decor and ambiance. The food was amazing, and very generous portions. Highly recommend.

Nice restaurant very loud place we waited about hour for our starters fare too long i think that give to much.more priority to the take out trade than customer in the restaurant plesent staff tho prices are a little high think you need to sort this out guys 👦

Excellent Service Excellent quality of food as always can highly recommend 👌🏻

Such a friendly welcoming and good was amazing. My first time her, bought my wife, daughter, aunty and uncle. Will defo be back, Simon

Food great, service a little slow. I should probably have requested that we like mains straight after starters. Having said that super polite and helpful.

A totally delicious meal. Once again Divine have provided a fabulous dining experience. Food was stunning and totally faultless. Staff and service excellent - as always. A wonderful family meal enjoyed by all. Thank you.

Once again a perfect night at Divine. The food was absolutely delicious. From the poppadoms, starters and mains to rice and nan breads our whole party couldn’t fault it. Gorgeous food, friendly service and beautiful restaurant. Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

Nice ambience, friendly service, delicious food…Thanks to Mr. R… for the nice service that day. We ordered chicken tikka masala. It was good but bit sweet in taste. Always better to ask for DeSi style if you are an Asian😜. Definitely we will try other dishes next time. Quite expensive as compared to other.

Fantastic service food is amazing I can 100% recommend

On Friday 23 February, I telephoned the Devine Curry House to book a table after being told by an acquaintance that it was worth a visit. Having found out that the curry house opened at 5.30 P.M, I booked a table for my friend and I for 5.45 that evening. After arriving and being seated, we asked if we could order some popadoms we were told that we could only order popadoms when we had chosen our starters and mains – the reason given was that everything needed to be prepared “freshly”, thinking this a bit strange my friend proceeded to read the menu to me – I’m blind so am not able to read the menu myself. There were no descriptions of what many of the dishes were, but eventually we decided on what we wanted. I asked the waiter could we order, and was told soon, in a very unfriendly tone. After trying to order a couple more times, the man who had met us at the door came over and asked if there was a problem – his tone and manner I found extremely intimidating. When I asked politely for the third time if we could order he said that did not take orders until after six O’clock; despite being open at 5.30. We told him that we were hungry, and he said well we don’t take orders till after six. My friend pointed out to me that they were preparing take aways, and some had already been taken out. By this time I just wanted to get out of there. I did not feel comfortable, and a little bit threatened by the staff. We paid for the two pints of beer, and left; but for a while I felt unsettled by the whole experience. I will never go back, and certainly not advise anyone to patronize this establishment.

Me and my husband decided to try here as we have not had much luck within surrounding restaurants, I have to say we was absolutely pleased with the service, from the minute we entered, the young gentleman that seated and served us was a credit to the restaurant, me and my husband both had his recommendations which we both enjoyed, we would highly recommend this restaurant as a must to do list. Thanks for your warm welcome Gary & Christine

This was our first visit to divine despite living quite close by. Fabulous selection of food which was different to the majority of curry restaurants locally. Food was nicely served, delivered by very pleasant staff and very tasty. Will definitely visit again

Unbelievable quality of food, definitely returning soon. 👍🏻

Lovely local restaurant with beautiful food served. Highly recommend a visit

Great food and atmosphere would highly recommend

Our favourite local spot. Visted with my mom tonight, Food is always 10/10 and customer service fantastic. Staff are so attentive and welcoming. Attention to detail with the food is awesome. Beautiful setting for the ultimate dining experience. And I must say to top it off as a lover of espresso martinis I finished the night with one and it was as the restaurant name states... divine! Thank you!

Freshly prepared quality food. Pleasant courteous staff. Upmarket compared to the average curry. Have been a curry fan since the early days of Balti Triangle. So many are now warm up offerings. This different.

No spices at all and curries were undercooked and bland. Nans were burnt. One item was missing, make sure to check before collection. Awful experience

What a lovely meal we had! So tasty and excellent quality. Friendly staff. Will definitely be going again. Lovely ambience and warm and comfortable

The biryani was packed with fragrant rice and tender meat, and the popadums were delightfully crispy. The daal was creamy and comforting, while the curries were bursting with aromatic spices. Each dish had its own unique flavor profile that left me wanting more. Overall, it was an incredible dining experience that I highly recommend!

10/10 amazing food would recommend ordering from here

Just ordered curry from divine, hands down one of the best place I've eaten from. If your a lamb person then the Kala bhuna is a must it was so tender and the flavour excellent. This place is a gem the service and friendliness of the staffs matches the ambience of the restaurant I highly recommend this place good job lads you will definitely be seeing me again thank you.

Mouthwatering food, hot on arrival. I would recommend this place everyone out there, can't wait for my next takeaway

"The chicken and lamb biryani was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, and the spices added a flavorful kick. It had just the right amount of heat, making it a perfect balance. Highly recommended!" Enjoy! 😊🍛

We visit here quite often they never disappoint. I disagree with the people complaining about the service and size of the meals. They leave you alone to decide what you would like to order making it a gentle classy enjoyable experience. As for the size there are many tasty fresh dishes and ample portions. Trying to create a upper class Indian restaurant. If you want a massive cheap curry that you want instantly I suggest a take away from another shop. Delicate exquisite flavours. Very welcoming. Will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Never been before so decided I would book this for myself and my husband. We weren't disappointed. The moment we arrived the staff were so lovely and friendly. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and clean. We were served drinks quickly which I like. Took a while to go through the menu as so many wonderful choices! We decided on garlic chili fish and tandoori trio. I also asked for a break in between my starter and main as I hate it when they bring the main straight away. They told us to let them know when we were ready and they would cook it as all their meals are cooked from fresh. Great to hear. Our mains were Desi Divine which was a slow cooked chicken dish that was so full of flavours and Adraki Beef which was spicy and delicious. Fully enjoyed our evening and would definitely recommend.

Great restaurant, great service and delicious food! Would definitely come back and recommend to others! Special mention to Reed and Jan for their hospitality.

First time we've been. Staff were lovely and welcoming. We had starters and mains which were all full of flavours. Nice bottle of Rose wine. Had a great time. Would highly recommend.

First time at Divine and it was lovely! Service was great and food was delicious. Would happily return. Special mention to Reed and Jab for the service.

Absolutely loved this place me and my husband dined here this evening and will not be going else where from now on food tasted amazing presented amazing and staff were very welcoming.!!!!!

Lovely meal for works night out. Good value, great service. Unfortunately didnt take photos of the food as just wanted to tuck in, it looked so good. Will definitely be back. thank you.

Our 2nd visit from Worcestershire the food was plentiful, delicious. Staff were attentive and nothing too much for them,

Lovely Indian restaurant we visited for the first time. Food was very tasty and a big selection. Very friendly and approachable staff, we didn't wait long. When ordering we got information and recommendations for some dishes which was very helpful for us. Thank you to Jab for solving immediately a problem of a candle smell behind me to which I was allergic.

Utterly amazing went for moms birthday. Food was brilliant staff busy but always polite. Ran out of one dessert sadly but all sorted out. Very small place, so when packed can get noisy.

Wow what a hidden gem place is absolutely amazing service was prompt and the food was 10/10 atmosphere was lovely a true fine dining experience

This is a brilliant place, we went Christmas Eve and the food and staff are fantastic. 3 generations of our family all very happy. Thank you

Great food but once again slow service! . This is the third time visited in the past three months & each time the food takes too long . Last night arrived 6.20pm , poppadoms took 20 mins & mains (( we skipped starters) delivered at 7.30PM - having been in there 1hr & 10 minutes, we had a poppadom each ! . The food is always very good but shouldn’t need to wait more than 30 minutes for a main course ?

This used to be our favourite Indian restaurant in Solihull but after 2 recent visits, I’d have to say it’s gone down hill and won’t be visiting again. We most recently visited on a Friday evening and couldn’t believe how quiet it was. The staff are very pushy, verging on rude, which seems a far cry of the approach taken when the restaurant first opened its doors and the quality of the food certainly didn’t justify the price.

My family and I went last night for New Year’s Eve we booked via online then a member of staff called to say the booking was confirmed . About an hour before we were ready to go the member of staff called again and told us that it was a limited 4 course menu and it would be £50 per person I was a little taken aback as we hadn’t planned on spending that much each but I thought it was new year and a special time and it was 4 courses so agreed plus we probably wouldn’t be able to get in anywhere else at such short notice So we arrived and got shown our table the staff were very friendly we ordered drinks We looked at the menu on the table I couldn’t believe the 1st course was a single poppadom it came quickly the 2nd course was a pick of 5 starters of which we picked a mixed kebab was tasty but a small portion and no salad We then waited over an hour for our mains which was 3rd course( it seemed like we had to wait for everyone in the restaurant to have their starter first ) When they did come mine was OK but the 4 th course was a naan bread or rice ????? I thought the 4 th course was a dessert I felt I was lied to on the phone

Delicious food, served by very friendly staff. Couldn't fault the food or the service. Excellent. Will definitely go again, we had a great night, thank you.

Wonderful staff who are very attentive. Excellent food and top notch cocktails that don’t cost you the earth. Overall, a really lovely evening. We will be back soon.

Food was amazing, 10/10! Would highly recommend, very flavoursome and portion sizes were good. Will definitely will be returning here again and also for the live music 😁

Everything we ordered was so good full of flavour and the service was amazing Excellent, definitely coming again. Highly recommend for some lovely delicious food! Thank you for the birthday cake too was lovely.

Ordered take away with divine through just eat meal did not get delivered I called divine they said it was a technical problem and just eat would refund which they didn't don't use just eat there's no way of contacting and no way to get money back I been waiting over 2 weeks

Yesterday we dined with 10 people for my girlfriends birthday, all 10 of us couldn’t fault divine for anything the food was excellent with vegetarian options available. The service was great the 2 young lads in the bar was very welcoming and pleasant taking time to talk to us all they mad my girlfriends day! Would highly recommend divine the best curry house in Solihull.

Perfect service and excellent cuisine, we have not experienced better anywhere.

Lovely curry. Very attentive staff. Will come again

Have been a few times now. Excellent food and service 👌

Really enjoyable evening - service and food top quality

Fantastic food, excellent service and wonderful staff. We shall definitely be coming back again soon and will spread the word about this hidden gem in Solihull.

Lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. Menu is interesting and has wide selection of dishes. Everything is freshly cooked,beautifully presented and delicious. Great place to meet family and friends, relax and enjoy a good food in a lovely setting.

We love this spot! It’s such a friendly place and the food is delicious, no matter what you choose. We highly recommend Divine for a great curry.

Divine lived up to its name, can't fault the food or service it was amazing. Very attentive staff, lovely atmosphere. An expensive evening but you get what you pay for. Certainly recommend 👌

Absolutely fantastic place. Food was up there with the best and most inventive Indian food I've had. Service was great and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Can't recommend enough.

This is a great spot for a calm night out. The staff are all great and the food is most definitely Divine!!

This is a great spot for a calm night out. The staff are all great and the food is most definitely Divine!!

First visit this evening and food was just superb! Went for the Lamb Masala with Egg Fried rice and a butter Nan. Absolutely full of flavour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Only frustrating thing is that I’ve not been here before but glad I’ve corrected that now 😊😊

This is a brilliant place, the food is always really fresh and very tasty. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful.

Amazing food and great, friendly service. This was my first time here but I’ll definitely be back again soon

Amazing food and great, friendly service. This was my first time here but I’ll definitely be back

The Rajasthani Lamb was a really tasty and well cooked dish. It went well with a garlic nan. Others in the group I went with also commented that their dishes were really nice and well cooked. The service was slightly slow and dishes did take a while to come out, but when they did all ok. Overall a nice meal

The best curry I have had in a long time and great service. Had a lovely night, would highly recommend.

Had an excellent meal for our 10th Anniversary. Food was amazing as usual & staff very friendly & helpful. Highly recommend.

Amazing food. Highly recommend the byrianni and beef dhal . Beautiful surroundings. Fabulous service. Love this place so much

Perfect in every way. Food was 100%. Service was 100%.

First time visiting restaurant friendly staff, food was Amazing. Will definitely be back. Reed and jab were very polite and friendly. Thank you Maria.

Up there being one of the best indian restaurants I have ever been too. Highly recommended 👌

Great place to eat not sure I can remember a better curry for time last time jalfrezi this time madras perfect heat taste and a chat to reed the owner about his ancestors how they built there business was very interesting and they deserve every bit there food is paramount and needs to be tested 🔥🔥❤️👌

Tonight was our fist visit to Divine. It wont be our last. We felt very welcome from the minute we walked in - Jab and the other staff were very warm and welcoming. The atmosphere, decor and food weren't bad either. We will be back.

Jab is always super friendly, service is great everytime and the food even better! Always my choice for a curry take away or dine in

We had a lovely meal at Devine last night, the serving team was excellent and the food was delicious. It was an excellent Indian meal full of flavor and interesting choices, beef duck and lots of seafood, with a great wine list and a wide variety of cocktails. The team was very accommodating despite the fact that we were a table 9 with some children. They even gave the kids a complimentary dessert to share. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, give them a try!

Have been coming here since we moved to the area. Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

This restaurant is the place to be. From the time we walked in we were made to feel, welcomed, valued, and more than appreciated. Nothing was too much for the staff to do in order that our meal was served on time and presented in a delightful, delectable way. Our food was absolutely delicious. The ambience lends itself to you being able to relax and chill. The premises are spotless. The proprietors definitely take pride in the cleanliness of their establishment. My wife and I cherish Divine Restaurant as an "Oasis" where we can unwind and dine leaving our cares of the world behind. All in all we give Divine Restaurant full marks for the service and the food they serve. Rest assured we will dine there again soon. Regards, Doc H

It is always a wonderful and great pleasure to dine in at one of the finest restaurant ever, and the name speaks volume "Divine restaurant" The service is exceptional. You are always greeted with a warm smile and the ambience is perfectly cozy. You are always made to feel welcome, valued and real special. The food is excellent, quite freshly prepared and deliciously tasty. This is one of the best restaurants around. Everything about this restaurant is second to none, truly amazing. I will definitely be returning soon. A very pleased customer who will always give my support. Ann-Marie xxx

First time here but definitely not the last. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing. I like my food spicy and it certainly was made to perfection. I also was able to sample a very hot spice. Nothing was too much trouble. The whole evening was lovely. Just what we needed after a long busy day thank you so much I will be recommending you to my friends and family. I will be back for my birthday celebrations for definite at the end of November

Great venue to meet friends Fantastic tasty meal. Great service, locely atmosphere. Will be returning and recommending

Lovely experience. Food was perfect. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food choice was excellent. Will definitely be returning and recommending.

First time visiting. Excellent food, service. Really tasty, food made to your taste. Definitely be returning.

We had not been for a few weeks as we out of the area for delivery and not had a restaurant curry in a while but this will change after tonight absolutely fabulous meal and service asked for advice to be swayed from my usual chicken tikka massage the advice from Reed persuaded me and went for the Chicken with pineapple and lentils so good, I am a light eater but normally have a takeaway but didn't happen tonight delicious, my partner had lamb imla said it was the best and he is fussy, we will be back very soon.

The food in the restaurant is very very good, and they clearly offer a delivery and take-away service. The main issue is slow service. From entering the restaurant to starters arriving was 50 minutes. 75 minutes until main course. In reality, they could become a...

Went here last night with friends. Two married couples. We were the only table there so was very quiet. Food was delicious and until the plates were cleared away we was having a lovely evening. Starters, mains, bottle wine & beers. Spend £142 and was...

Can't fault this place. Last minute turn up to Diving due to another reservation falling through. Very accommodating to us. Service was brilliant and staff were very friendly. My husband isn't very adventurous with curry and cannot deal with spice - at all, so asked the waiter for recommendations as to what is the mildest/closest to a balti for him to be able to enjoy. The waiter was more than happy to go through the menu with us and offer his thoughts/recommendations. Food was absolutely amazing and couldn't fault it at all. We don't usually go out for currys very often but this place will definitely become a place we will be happy to come in future.

We visited Divines for the first time on Fri 4th Aug. The meal was lovely and the staff very welcoming. We will be visiting Divines again.

Food always excellent and service to suit.😃

Absolutely fantastic food at divine and a brilliant drinks menu that you don’t normaly find at Indian restaurants (a comprehensive cocktail menu etc). Would absolutly reccomend this place, the food is quite literally divine!
