Mal servicio y actitud del personal. La comida era sosa y fría, queríamos más de una hora y media para ser servido frío slop. Y para colmo, intentaron cobrar de más.

10 de nosotros nos sentamos para nuestra comida especial - juntos, poppadoms y chapuzones fuera rápido, orden de bebida 15 minutos después, cuando las bebidas llegaron entonces tomaron orden de comida, de orden a comida que llegaba era 1 hora y la comida estaba saliendo por la puerta tan rápido para llevar tenía prioridad. 3 de uso tuvimos que cambiar 3 veces nuestros refrescos ya que eran planos, pedidos de coca dietética resulta ser a tope pero agregaron agua del grifo para que fuera menos. 3 comidas no comidas como sabían raro, el frio mío y de mi hijo así que se quejaron así que las metieron en el microondas. Nos quejamos y de las bebidas, el servicio y sobre todo la comida y me dedujeron la comida de mis hijas. No querían escuchar nuestras quejas y el colmo estaba en la factura era un extra de £ 4 por persona de cosas que no teníamos. 37 años he estado comiendo fuera y muchos un curry con la familia y amigos y rugby, pero esto es lo peor en la comida y especialmente el servicio.

Bland tasteless food. What initially looks like a impressive tray of dips with the popadoms very quickly disappoints when you see how watery everything is. Even the mango chutney drips off the spoon. Then no taste. Absolutely none. Following this the chicken dupiaza arrived, advised as slightly hot. Well at this stage I started to think I had Covid as I’m not kidding absolutely no flavour, a watery sauce, no heat and just a mouthful of nothingness. I ate half of it as we we’re paying for it but gave up then as my pallet was so bored. Top this off with the shock on the bill of a large Diet Coke costing £7 and my voe to never return was cemented.

Honestly...please don't waste your money! My partner had A Chicken Handi ....it was swimming in oil, & tasted like the bottom of a fryer 🤢...he's a foodie, so I said let me taste it, & it was absolutely disgusting! The taste I will never forget! 🤮 We had the chicken tikka massalla...cold, chicken dry & overcooked Onion bajis...cold, dry Prawn tandoori prawns....really overcooked, cold and only TWO in there!! The only nice things were the pilau rice and papadoms!! The sauces were so runny tho... Now I am NOT normally a complainer...I love to leave a great review...but I'm sorry...we would NEVER recommend this restaurant to anyone, ever....

Quite possibly the worst meal I’ve ever had ! Stale poppadoms, recycled sauces, bland watery food, reformed cubed chicken pieces , overpriced naan bread at 3.40 with barely a sliver of cheese no garlic or chilli topping just terrible we did wonder why we were the only customers !

Start off with wine purchased from tesco at £5.00 and sold at £25.00 a bottle. Then when we queried it , we were totally told take or leave it. Then the food arrived and the one dish was of four was bland .when this was pointed out we were ignored in respect that they were not interested. When we asked to speak to the owner he would not speak to us and stood behind is employee saying he is my manager he will sort you out. This ended up as a not sorted out issue. And we paid our bill not happy overall a very frustrating experience.

Ordered a Chicken Balti for collection and was so disappointed. Only live a couple of minutes away and the balti was lukewarm, watery and very salty. Also, didn’t taste like a balti with very little chicken which was overcooked, so won’t be using them again.

We ate here a couple of times several years ago and it was awful.... we arranged to meet friends Friday early evening we were waiting for our friends to arrive we were asked if we wanted popadoms , we said yes they arrived within 2 minutes and tasted stale and what confirmed this was as soon as we dipped them in the yogurt dip they literally turned to mush.. never had that happened before.. the tray with the relish and dips on were very watered down. No taste. As soon as our friends arrived within a minute of them sitting down we were asked what we wanted to order. The staff seemed to be constantly hanging around we definitely felt rushed ,yet there were many empty tables and I now know why... I ordered lamb pasanda my usual choice OMG it was terrible ,very watery sauce and about 7 small tough chewy pieces of lamb and it was just tipped onto my plate and a small helping of rice in a bowl. They way these meals were served was very odd ,my husband and friends meals came out all served up on the plate ,no dishes to serve up your own portions , not one meal was nice , both friends said they tasted either dry and chewy or watery . We travel a great deal around the uk eating at different Indian restaurants when we get the chance and once again the food here is as bad as it was before and possibly even worse... staff hovering around the table and taking plates off whilst others at our table were still eating , so rude ,you definitely felt like they were rushing you. And reading other reviews it appears that they have not taken on board others similar complaints. After 30 years and to this day there has never been an Indian restaurant to beat the ELLORA in knowle ,outstanding food and service... they just get everything right....go to the ELLORA and see the difference.

Ordered a takeaway on Saturday. I know there’s football on and after 70 minutes called them that order hadn’t arrived. Stated food ready and waiting on driver to deliver it. 15 minutes later, food arrived cold. Contacted them and the member of staff laughed when I stated the food was cold. I’ve used these for years but not anymore.

This evening my son and I decided to catch up over an Indian curry. We arrived at 6.10pm. We left at 7pm! In this time we had poppadoms. Starter each. Main course. Coffee and night cap. Prebooked visit. The other than approx 6 other people the restaurant was empty We were shown to our table I hadn't taken my jacket off, my son hadn't sat down. We were asked how many poppadoms we wanted. We answered. Next what drinks would you like? We hadn't even had a chance to look at the drink/wine menu. So we both said drinks off top of our heads. They missed out on a bottle of wine order! My son said 'do you think they want us out asap'? We hadn't even started eating the poppadom when they want our order. Again we both went with starters and mains off top of our heads. I had just about looked at the first page of the menu. We started the poppadom.. one between us. Our starters arrived. So we left the poppadom to eat starter. Next the half eaten poppadom and condiments were taken away. We ate our starters. Within 5 minutes our main meals came out. We were chatting and eating I put my cutlery down to pinch a couple of my sons chips. The next I know a hand reached over to take my plate. I did snap I'm afraid and said I hadn't finished my meal. We felt so rushed. As soon as one waiter took out plates another came over with a pudding menu. We asked for 10 minutes to let our food settle. But no with a couple of minutes the waiter was back at our table. We opted for coffee and a whisky each. Before we had sipped our coffee the bill was on the table! The food was lovely but could have been better had we been allowed to relax and enjoy it. We won't go back again. We hadn't caught up as we planned we were rushed and it spoilt our time together. If you want a fast curry this is the place for you. But don't plan on a relaxing meal here never again

We booked for 18:30 we were gone by 19:10!! They literally take your food away before you have finished!! Poppadums were stale and the curry was bland. They asked if we wanted a box for the food we couldn’t eat due to being rushed. I’ve spent longer in McDonald’s. The only good bit of food was the naan bread.

terrible meal, chicken pasanda, couldn't have been worse if i had tipped a budget nameless cook in sauce over meat. popadoms tasted like burnt coconut oil. this has to be the worst takeaway ever, had about 3 mouthfuls to be polite at the table, then apologised to my host for having to leave meal. she agreed and apologised to her guests saying she knew it was awful. on which everyone put down cutlery breathed sigh of relief as plates scraped into bin.

Many many years visiting Indian dreams but take way and 20% (as per the website was a bonus). The food was absolutely shocking. Dhaal was like water and was disgusting and the tikka massalla tasted as if ketchup had been added. The whole meal was disgusting, a total waste of money )website advertises 20% discount but when you query it, it’s only on the main courses. £40 for that crap this evening means that I/we will not bother going there again.

We have ordered regularly to our home and the last 2 times ( both recent after pre ordering hours before ).. the driver has been 25 minutes late. I have called shop & they have said ‘the driver is on the way, sorry about that’. It’s not good enough! The food needs microwaving as soon as it arrives and it’s frustrating when it’s not a cheap meal. This will be the last time we order with Indian Dream. You cannot beat the service in shop, but delivery is not good!

The presentation is not good with sauce around the plate my clothes got stained. And vegetables and fruit piece in the centre of the meal served. The staff are everywhere and are not trained. However, there is a new staff recruited and his customer service was very good. The food was good but I think the staff need training and the presentation of food should change, it would make a difference.

Made the (not so serious) mistake of ordering poppodums, starters and mains, when just two out of the three would probably have sufficed. The pickles/chutneys tray that came with the poppodums was the largest I’ve ever seen while the mixed starter was four pieces and filling. Struggled to find room for the mains (always a good sign). Attentive staff and very reasonable prices. Would certainly recommend.

I ordered Sheek Kebab and Lamb Dhansak, always my "check-out" food on a first visit. The Kebabs were spicy and moist - most enjoyable. The Dhansak sauce was terrific and the lamb was tender. I was impressed with the Naan which was still fresh and light at the end of our main course. My wife was more adventurous, and said that her food was superb. The coffee was good, and we were offered complimentary drinks to finish.

Top quality food, freshly cooked, with staff who pride themselves on knowing their customers personally.

We met up on a Saturday evening, the restaurant was already busy, with both diners and takeaway orders, but the atmosphere was welcoming and the decor is very authentic, rich reds,subjued but vivid colours and great lighting. The wine list is varied and competitively priced, the menu caters for all tastes, including some different and unusual dishes.

We all enjoyed our food but we were disappointed with the service on this occasion. We hadn’t finished our poppadoms before they were whisked away without asking us and the waiters cleared away the plates before all of us had finished eating. One person was still eating their meal when they tried to take away their naan bread and sauce for their meal. We objected only for them to come back with oranges and hand wipes, despite everybody still not having finished their main course! It made the person finishing their main meal feel rushed and embarrassed. Perhaps staff need some further training on how to treat customers more thoughtfully?

First time here and was very impressed, place was packed (8pm Sat) which is good sign and luckily we had booked. Food was fantastic and even the poppadums had that just cooked warmness. I thought it had an edge over other curry houses, with the little extra effort they put in here and there. We even got a free Nan bread because the waiter thought that one them was slightly over cooked, who were we to argue? Had starters, mains and coffee, left there full and very happy.

We’ve been coming here since it opened and although we’ve tried other places, we always return.They remember every one of their guests and make it their mission to know your preferences for drinks and food. Book, even early in the evening as it does get busy. Meat quality is outstanding and although there aren’t many veggie options on the menu, just ask and they’ll be pleased to offer suggestions. Food is cooked from fresh, so don’t expect ‘fast’ food, and they make their own spice mixes - proven because dishes are never identical from one visit to another. Proper cooking, not formula from vacuum packed portion control stuff. Looking forward to our next visit!

This is one of my favorite Solihull Indian restaurants. The food is consistently good and the waiters are friendly and helpful with menu queries. You don't have to wait ages for your food and its delicious. Really lovely atmosphere and a warm welcome. Free parking outside the door.

Excellent curry, excellent service. Even though I live within walking distance of Solihull town centre and its many Indian restaurants, I chose to drive to Indian Dream as it beats all the others hands down. The manager Kamal is a lovely guy who really makes you feel welcome. Simply the best around!

Popped in here for dinner with my daughter. Haven't eaten her for a few years as wasn't impressed the last time I visited. What a difference! The service is exceptional! The staff were so efficient, polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was really tasty & beautifully presented. Will definitely be returning. Always a great sign when a restaurant is almost full by 6.30pm. Excellent value for money,

My first visit to this restaurant was a very pleasant experience. The staff were very courteous with prompt service. A clean and well appointed decor with a good atmosphere. A wide ranging menu, the number of sauces accompanying the poppadoms was exceptional- I will definitely visit again.

We've only visited Indian Dream once but were impressed by the extensive menu and knowledgable staff. The food is well presented and the flavour balance is excellent. The meat content is generous, the sauce on our dishes was a delightful blend of spices including the use of cracked cumin seeds. The side dishes are also excellent and rich in flavour. Nothing has been missed out in preparation. The whole meal experience is first class and represents good value for money

We visited here late one Saturday night. Welcomed by staff. The menu is interesting and the staff will advise if you can't quite decide, which was welcomed by myself. Service is very good, however one member of staff stood close by overlooking whilst we ate, which was rather off putting and unnecessary.Our meals were delicious, I would recommend this place for friendly service and an interesting menu.

Eat here every couple of weeks, service and food standard never falters. Staff are excellent and happy to suggest different dishes to your taste. Didn't book a table this evening (Wednesday) although I would advise to as popular restaurant with lots of regular customers.

We hadn't visited this restaurant for some time and couldn't work out why we left it so long between visits. We went for dinner on a Friday when it was extremely busy. It is a pleasantly decorated restaurant and the service and food were both excellent. I had the Tandoori mixed platter for £10.50.My partner also very much enjoyed the Chicken Saagwala.We definitely won't leave it as long before we visit again.

Each time i go to Solihull my friends take me to this restaurant and i am never disappointed, despite trying a different dish each time.We had 4 different dishes between us and shared all of them between us. The Tandoori chicken was superb, moist and tasty, the buttered chicken was creamy and the other two dishes (which i cannot spell so will not try) were also absolutely delicious.

Early evenings are best as the service is not rushed and you get plenty of attention though never intrusive. As fairly regular customers maybe we get special treatment but no complaints about that. Long may it continue. Never had a bad experience. Menu is fairly standard Indian but none the worse for that. Recommended.

We found Indian Dream several years ago and now, whenever we come to Birmingham for the theatre or an exhibition, make a pint of stopping for a meal. The food is always very good and the staff friendly and attentive. The style is different to what we are used to in London so it is nice to try a variation on a theme. The décor is eclectic and the ladies very clean. We look forward to more meals there.

General conduct of manager and staff regarding a complaint about foreign bodies in the food namely " long black hair " which was displayed in front of me and my friend over the top of another meal. Only explanation they offered that it "didn't come from the kitchen "

Food was the worst I had... if these reviews are real then these people need to get out of knowledge and try something else. Please don’t waste your time and bar earned money in such a place like this. Food was so poor and service was a big fat zero too.

We were staying in the Travelodge over the road and as it was chucking it down we decided a quick scamper to Kismet would be sensible. I’m glad we did as we really enjoyed the food and service. We chose king prawn with garlic and chilli, tandoori lamb chop, then meat thali and duck bhuna. All of the food was well presented, tasted great and was very filling. We ended up leaving some as the portion size was a bit much for us.

Reservé una mesa temprano por la noche a mediados de semana y conseguí un stand encantador. Fuimos recibidos por Abs (frente de la casa) que nos atendió muy bien. Tuvimos poppadoms con una selección de chutneys para empezar seguidos de Pollo Balti ligeramente más caliente, Rey Gamba Balti y Rey Gamba Xacuti acompañados con 2 naans de ajo. Todos estaban deliciosos. Como bono, los comensales pueden tomar su propio alcohol. Está ocupado viernes y sábado, así que se recomienda reservar. También hacen servicio para llevar. Volveremos muy pronto!

A solid 3.5, but there is no ambience and found it to be really pricey. We came in early on a Friday and the place was empty. The heaters were all off and the restaurant was quite cold Inside, we even had to wear our jackets for a while. There is little to no ambience, though the tablets are nicely set, there are makeshift walls or curtains blocking certain areas of the restaurant. The menu is extensive and had a lot of options, veggie and non veggie but it was REALLY pricey for what it was. We got two starters and they were both very small for £5 each, the main courses didn't come with Naan or rice, and each rice portion is super tiny for almost £3.5 . My Indian relatives would be in revolt if they ever saw the little amount of rice for that much. The food was nicely seasoned, though I missed some fresh coriander or lime. The service was extremely friendly and the highlight of the visit but with these prices I would not recommend it. There are many other options out there with a MUCH better value.
