Sadly the worst chicken tikka massala I've ever had it had a very strange taste couldnt quite put my finger on it but it was so gloopy and sickly I couldn't eat it. I did tell the manager that it wasn't great and he kindly gave me a discount but I wouldn't return it just wasn't nice at all.

This was my first and last visit.. I can't believe how rude 2 of the staff were. The food was enjoyable, but the night was ruined?. All because of their attitude. Hopefully it's not down to all the stupidity going on around at the moment.

Update: The buffet is no longer offered, but all of the food is still of fantastic quality. This is a great Indian restaurant. The food is of a very consistent high standard and the restaurant is always bustling. Service is good, prices are reasonable and the buffet in particular is a highlight. I've been here at least once per month for the last several years and never once been disappointed. Decor is a little dated, so if that's something that detracts from an evening, it may not be for you but everything is clean and tidy. Would recommend.

Four of us dined here. Food was not to our satisfaction. Thick gloopy sauce on prawn on puri lacking in taste. Chicken garlic chill curry was covered in a thick red sauce similar to the prawn puri completely lacking in authenticity or resembling anything which resembled a regular Indian curry. During our meal the waiter decided to vacuum the carpet emitting a strong smell which was very off putting and inappropriate. I will never dine here again. Terrible food.

If I could give this place zero stars I would… The food was below average and took far too long to arrive… However this isn’t my main issue… the waiters were extremely rude and unprofessional. The menus were snatched out of our hands and we were spoken to in a rude manner when we didn’t answer the waiter straight away when they asked us questions when we were already engaged in private conversations. Save your money and go elsewhere as this place really isn’t worth it

First time there with a large party (18). Efficient without been pushy. Will go back again in the New Year. Sometimes when you are with a large group it is hard to judge the food and service because you are wrapped in conversations and things that are going on in your group. Certainly worth a second visit.

I was looking for a new Indian restaurant in Knowle and decided on the Ellora. As it turned out could not have chosen better. Extensive menu. I had Tawan bhuna mixed meat. Excellent quality and very generous portion. Staff friendly and helpful. Spoke to the manager who was most welcoming. This was a Wednesday night and there were probably 40 eating. So it is very popular always a good sign. Will definitely return.

The Ellora was a local haunt for me and my family. During my young adult years, every Sunday we'd eat out here. I found a diary entry with date. The last time we visited was Sunday, 21 December 2008. This is as British Indian as you will find, with a large dose of class added to the Birmingham Bombay mix.

We have been attending Ellora for a few years since moving to the Midlands. I have to say it is an incredible Indian, the service is always very friendly and they are quick to deliver. The food is always beautiful (and we absolutely love their tawa curries). Upon trying all of our other local Indians in the Dorridge/Knowle area and being completely underwhelmed, we have decided to just stick with what we love.. which is Ellora!

Just squeezed us in on a busy Saturday evening without a reservation. Food and service were excellent. The fact that restaurant was full and a steady stream of take-out customers is a testament to the choice and quality of food. Not cheap but reasonable and good value. Was with companions who are very choosy about eating out, and none of us would have any doubts about eating here again.

It's been so many years since I've been here...and I was so impressed. I've discovered a new favourite dish..the Murghi Special, it was amazing, would recommend..and a reasonable price considering it includes mushroom pilau rice. Offered lime pickle (as well as the usual accompaniments) with the poppadoms, which I love..and the keema naan was also lovely. 5/5 from me....it'll be my new fave place now for home delivery. Check their website, 20% off. Shapla has been here in Shirley for so long that many people forget it's here! Remember it guys, worth a visit!

Only popped in for a late evening dessert with other half. Nobody else in the restaurant as it was a late Sunday evening. Greeted by front of house staff, invited to sit wherever we liked. Server took order and advised that we would have a wait of around15 minutes. Ordered a karak chai, cookie dough and mango mojito. Place is spotless, I really liked the decor too. Food arrived after a little wait. Note: we are very particular about chai 🙃 and this was spot on. My mojito was delicious, pieces of mango were lovely in the drink. Cookie dough was flavoursome- in other places it's literally just sweet but here, you can taste the chocolate and the vanilla in the ice cream. Really nice. Shout out to Maya- lovely manager of the restaurant who came over to say hello and take up any suggestions for improvements (we had none). Really humble attitude, wants patrons to go away happy. Only loses a star because of the wait times (and a tiny bit pricey but the service makes up for it). Planning on bringing the kids soon. Give the place a go, I bet you'll like it!
