We hosted a small company Christmas meal. Kamal Bhaji and the waiting staff were great, we enjoyed the dining room downstairs as there was few of us.. Food is always on point, best Indian restaurant in the Midlands for many years running.

Visited 04/12/24. The food was impressive and surprisingly above my expectations. This was recommended to me from Anita from Gucci in Selfridges. I wasn't expecting it to be any good given the names of the food on the menu & the price tag but it was impressive and I would go again. The only thing to watch for is it has double the price tag of food you could get elsewhere, the curry's are £20-25 and the biryani was £27. The rice was a large portion but the curry was standard. I definitely recommend it if you are able to afford this, as I found it delicious. Service - was good, room for improvement here. But no issues. Toilets - Smelt a little. Food - Exceptional taste. Price - Overley expensive. But worth it if you need a taste bud tingle. Deco - some good things to take pics off, place had a more darkened presentation. We came in from the rain and the floor was slightly slippy, so be careful! Get the mixed basket of breads, it will be cheaper.

Decor and service were great. The size of the main courses is large. We certainly ordered too much food. All the food was excellent, tasty and well presented. Would certainly go again but be more circumspect about what we order.

The food is lovely, very filling, the bottomless thali is big, but they don't provide take away boxes for leftovers. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere.

We went here for a birthday meal. The decor and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The food was nice but could have been warmer. The one issue we did have was feeling forgotten at times. It took what seemed like an age at times for someone to serve us or even acknowledge us. I don't want to be over the top because overall, we had a lovely evening. I would recommend this place.

This is my 2nd visit to Itihaas and this time being with a bigger group(14) As usual the food was amazing and the bottomless thali was so filling and yum. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and was giving us suggestions what would be the best suited for us. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good time with good food.

Ordered the shahi thali which came with Papadom, Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken, Lentils, Rice, Naan, Raita and Coconut Kheer. The thali was bottomless so you can continue to ask for refills once you are finished with each of the dishes. Each dish was full of flavour and tasted great but the standout for me was the lamb curry. Please note that you cannot take any leftovers home as per their policy so bare that in mind.

It sad news this place has huge potentials and excellent competition around the area, due to this factor I have to rate it 3 star cross compare with Dishoom that received five stars rating from me . Food presentation 3/10 , taste of the product 3/10 no wow factor , table service 3/10 , customer service 2/10 due to the fact no body was present when we wanted service at the table had to wait 4 to 8 mins before someone show up. The freshness of the product was also 3 out of 10. I shall revisit this place in due course certainly can’t recommend it.

I had an excellent dining experience at Itihaas The food was bursting with authentic Indian flavors, from the rich, creamy butter chicken to the fragrant, perfectly spiced biryani. The naan was soft and fresh, perfect for soaking up every delicious sauce. The service was prompt, friendly, and the staff were more than happy to offer recommendations based on our preferences. The cozy ambiance, with warm lighting and traditional decor, made the meal even more enjoyable.

I wish to caution somebody willing to book in an event with Itihaas, Birmingham. I had a terrible experience in trying to recover a deposit refund during COVID and eventually ended in losing £ 3,000 in the process. I had booked a Wedding Event for 300 guests to be held in August 2020. We paid £6000 as a deposit for the catering and venue. It was paid by 2 credit cards @3000 each by me and the bride's mother. Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled with mutual consent due to COVID regulations. As per the prevailing government regulations we were entitled to a full refund barring some expenses incurred by the merchant in the process. We were given a list of expenses incurred amounting to £1494 which were highly manipulated and unreal. We were charged £ 200 for a food tasting event which never happened and charged for the time spend in e-mails, telephone conversation and venue viewing. These, we believed were a part of overhead expenses and were not permissible as expenses incurred by the merchant. We did not receive any services and were entitled to full refund. We still offered a liberal £ 500 to close the dispute but was declined . We were offered a truncated refund of £ 4506 out of £ 6000 as an unconditional offer in April 2020. We had no other option to seek justice and to apply for a charge back from our credit card providers. The process of chargeback was prolonged due to COVID shutdown, and we eventually recovered £ 3000 from one of the credit card providers. Unfortunately, the other credit card providers could not recover our deposit due to delayed and poor representation. We were already frustrated by the ongoing saga and eventually asked Itihaas to honour the initial unconditional offer and pay us the balance of £ 1506 . To our surprise the management refused to pay the balance on the grounds that we used a charge back to seek justice and recover our dues. The management decided to pocket a sum of £ 1506 which was initially offered in the conflict unconditionally. This was extremely apalling, and we felt cheated by the Itihaas management. I will strongly recommend anybody willing to book an event to think twice. You are in for an ordeal and could end up in losing a lot of money.

Thank you so much Itihaas for making my birthday so special. The bottomless thalis were delicious and tasty. The atmosphere was spot on, it reminded me of being in India. Thank you to Nikhil for the amazing customer service and always being on top with the questions we had. A special thank you to the surprise birthday cake at the end. It was such a special touch.

We are not familiar with Birmingham and asked some friends for a recommendation. We really liked the food. I had the the Hadi Wala Keema, which I thought was a rich delight. The prices are a bit toppy, but the portions are seriously large. We had the sharing platter starter and 3 mains between 3 (and it was too much (and we consider that we eat a lot) so that 2 starters would have been more than sufficient. All in all, we would definitely go back when we are in Birmingham.

The staff was extremely polite and cooperative, the food was absolutely scrumptious and uff the Ambience, uff the environment, uff everything in between, have been in the UK for a loooooong loonnnnnng time but never tried some place as good as this.

Came here for a special occasion with family and was very impressed. Parking- there is on-street parking on the road, as well as a car park very near. Was welcomed in and shown to our table downstairs, there was a lift for those who struggle with stairs too. We chose our drinks which included a delicious mango lassi, strawberry daquiri and some soft drinks. We chose four different thalis to get a range of foods, one veg, one street food and two meat/fish ones. My personal favourite was the goan fish and railway lamb, just sublime! For four people, including drinks the price was reasonable. It’s the not cheapest but I felt it was worth the money. Will defintely be coming back!

Fantastic thali brunch today - highly recommend - the flavours were beautiful and authentic. I ordered the executive meat thali and the goan fish curry was phenomenal! The lamb curry too. Very delicious food. Pretty and dark interiors. Only negative would be how slow the waiters were to top up the thali as it’s bottomless and if you’re giving customers 1.5hrs to eat, you should top up quicker. But i will assume this was slow due to food being cooked fresh there and then! The staff also handed my friend the wrong meal but they apologised for the error afterwards and let us keep it. All in all - great food and atmosphere! Brilliant cocktails too!

Itihaas Restaurant is a gem. I came to experience their non - veg thali along with my friend and it was a memorable dining experience. The non-veg thali offers a delightful assortment of flavors and textures. Each dish is crafted to perfection, presenting a harmonious blend of spices and ingredients that leave a lasting impression. I loved the Goan fish curry. The service at Itihaas is top-notch. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and professional, ensuring that every guest feels comfortable and well-attended. From the moment we walked-in, we were greeted with warm smiles and courteous gestures. The decor at Itihaas is stunning, with a pretty and attractive setup that creates a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Horrible experience on a Saturday night. Priority was takeaway orders and we waited 40 minutes for our food after our drinks and starters. Staff was inattentive for whole time and casually mentioned sorry for delay so that we don't leave. We were with children and I will say don't bother to book for fine dining as food is average and nothing memorable about the ambience.

The selection of dishes is reasonable, not too many and all the ones we tried were of good quality. The drinks arrived promptly, the mango lassi was ok but the stars were the virgin mocktails, which they were able to do without the syrup for me. The starters were generally ok, we had the sharing platter of which the cod was particularly good. The paneer was also well made, not a hint of rubberiness which you often find in other places. Mains were also good, well spiced but not overbearing, fresh garlic and ginger too. We tried a variety of naans, but the garlic was my favourite. The mature cheese and coriander was ok, better than many places but not fantastic (I'm definitely more picky with my cheese as I get older). Desserts were ok, nothing special apart from the gulab jaamun, which were nice and tender rather than the hard rubbery balls you often get in some restaurants. There was a nice celebratory cheesecake compliments of the house which was a nice touch. The service was excellent with some good recommendations from the staff and the atmosphere is cosy with lots of memorabilia from the days of the Raj. While it is a little on the expensive side I think it's a nice treat for a special occasion.

My father Neil and I came across Itihaas about 8 years ago on a business trip to Birmingham. The experience has absolutely ruined curries for us... why? Because the food at the Itihaas is SO good that any curry anywhere else in the UK now disappoints us by comparison. We now actively look for excuses to go to Birmingham, just to enjoy a meal there (we live in the England/Scotland borders, so it's some journey). What's so good about the Itihaas? Well the restaraunt is stunning, the welcome is always friendly and genuine... but the food is just exceptional. There are some meals on the menu that are recognisable, but a significant portion of the menu is very special and authenthic to Northern India, created by award winning chefs. It's amazing. I am a vegetarian and there's good choice and exceptional quality food for me... my Father is very much NOT a veggie and he is as passionate about the Itihaas as I am. On this occassion we had work in Birmingham but it sadly didn't fall well with times the restaraunt were open. I emailed to inquire if it would be possible to order a chilled or frozen meal that we could take away with us. The manager very kindly arranged this for us and it meant that we were able to enjoy the Itihaas food back at home. I honestly couldn't recommend the Itihaas enough, but be aware, curries elsewhere will seem less impressive after you've sampled this.

Fine dining indian restaurant. Famous for its lunchtime thaali. Though I visited at dinner time. Welcoming staff and great service. Their menu is interesting and worth a read. The restaurant 'itihaas' literally translates to ' History'. They have indian history mentioned at the end of menu. Food - We ordered Goan prawn curry, Methi chicken, Jeera rice, Paneer butter (Makhani). They have good selection of drinks and soft drinks. Must try sea food and lamb dishes.

Itihaas offers a diverse array of options, from its tantalizing platters to its refreshing non-alcoholic beverages. Unlimited servings cater to hearty appetites, ensuring no guest leaves unsatisfied. However, despite the tempting spread, service falls short, with extended wait times for additional servings even during quieter periods. The quality of chai disappoints, lacking the richness expected. Additionally, the inconvenience of restroom facilities being situated on the ground floor detracts from the overall dining experience.

I've been a loyal customer of this restaurant for numerous years, savoring its culinary dishes with each visit. From the moment I step through the doors, I'm greeted by the enticing aromas and warm ambiance that define Itihaas. The food, cooked to perfection, never fails to impress, tantalizing taste buds with every bite. The attentive service adds to the overall experience, ensuring that every visit is nothing short of exceptional. Though parking may sometimes pose a challenge, it's a small inconvenience in comparison to the culinary delights that await within. Allow me to recommend the SOY Shashlik Tikka or the tantalizing Tandoori Paneer for starters, followed by the flavorful Punjabi Kadhi or the bespoke Palak Paneer, specially crafted to my preference. With each dish meticulously prepared and served with care, dining here is not just a meal it's a culinary journey worth savoring, making every penny spent truly worthwhile. Rarely do I give five stars, but this establishment exceeds expectations time and time again. First Class

We were 7 friends; it was a get-together. Few of us came from London; the rest are from different cities. They started making faces the moment we entered the restaurant. The hostess was judging us and didn't treat us well. They took 35-40 minutes to bring the snacks. Then another extra 15 minutes for the main course, although we ordered snacks and the main course at the same time. Later, we ordered extra naans, and it took another 15 minutes. The manager said, "Aur kuch or to nai chahie na?" (Do you want ANYTHING ELSE?) in a taunting way. During payment, we were equally splitting the bill. However, the manager was forcing us to pay as one and commented again, "Sabka Number ayega bhaiya" (wait for your turn) in a taunting way. The Meethi chicken was too spicy - even for us. Dal Makhni - they forgot to add salt. Tawa Mix - it was mixed veg, not tawa mix. Who will pay for just good ambience, poor service, and rude staff? Especially the manager and the young lady 'hostess'

We booked for Mother’s Day and ended up walking out after 60 minutes!!!!! We arrived 15 mins prior to our booking time and were seated by the bar and then swiftly moved to our table. It all went downhill after this!!! We were sat at the table for 15 mins before a drinks menu was given- only because we asked for it! We ordered our drinks and food. We sat and watched other diners arrive after us who were given drinks and food! 40 mins after arriving, still no drinks, I went to the bar and asked for our drinks and said it’s been 40 mins, drinks finally arrived. We sat patiently thinking that food would arrive very soon, bearing in mind other diners arrived after us and were now eating, there was nothing special in the order just your regular vegetarian food. 20 mins after drinks arrived- still no food, we decided to leave. I discreetly spoke to the management team, out of sight of other diners as I’m not one to make a fuss in front of others, the management were very lack lustre in their apology and kept asking us to stay as food would be coming soon. We paid for our drinks and left, I’m writing this review whilst sat in Asha’s restaurant just up the road. Very disappointed.

Second visit here - excellent service, excellent food, good value for money and they made a special effort as it was an anniversary event - a little card and a free pudding

One of the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham. Delicious food with authentic Indian taste. Restaurant ambiance is very good. A big shout out to Saroj's excellent service with nice touch of humour. Highly recommended.

Really lovely service and food! Enjoyed my meal and all the waiters are extremely friendly and tentative. My husband and I were also given free dessert as we were celebrating our anniversary. For fine dining, it was reasonably priced and the portions were great.

Drove all the way from Leeds to visit this place at 2pm on a Sunday. They were only doing plates called Thali's.. I didnt come for this and we didnt know they only served this type of food at that moment in time. As we are not heavy eaters, we then ordered 2 thali's and 3 drinks for 3 people. We were told was not able to dine. So we left - Very bad attitude by the waiter, what a waist of journey, but hey - Dishoom is alot better!.. and cheaper even if they charge service charges on top!

First time eating here with my partner. The decor/design is lovely. A waiting area with a chessboard to keep you occupied. Two floors of seating: street level and lower level. We sat in the lower level. There was a private room which was hosting a birthday party. A great ambience and the lovely decor/design continued downstairs. We ordered starters and mains. Kenyan samosa (with keema chicken) and vegan chilli mushrooms were our starters. Both were absolutely delicious! The mushrooms were (chef's 💋). Our mains followed, and we had lamb rogan josh (nothing like any lamb rogan josh I've had before) and maharaja maachli masala (cod in Tempura batter in a rich sauce). We accompanied our mains with basmati rice and mature cheddar and coriander naan (served in triangle slices, which made them much more appetising!) We ended up having to take some food home as we couldn't finish everything!! The service from the moment we entered until we left was excellent. We weren't rushed or hurried. The food was piping hot. Waiting staff were all pleasant and approachable. Without a doubt, we will be going back! We would 100% recommend this restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Itihaas😊.

We were a party of 22 people so we got a shared menu. Lots of good starters, constantly refilling so after the starters I was really full. Great flavors and just the right amount of strength. Great main courses too. Would love to come back! REAL Indian, absolutely superb!

Quality Restaurant! Very tranquil decor and polite, helpful staff. Food was outstanding and they catered to a range of allergies. Service was professional and makes you feel like a King, especially Saroj! Would highly recommend

I've ordered braised pork rice for takeout many times, and every time I think it's pretty good, I just want to come to the store to eat it once. Everyone else is fine. What are you pulling on that long-haired cashier? What are you pulling? He kept a big face the whole time and turned around before he finished speaking. Who owes you? Do you think you are cool? It’s really unlucky to have a meal. Anyone who wants to be raped while eating should come and try the waiter’s 250-like attitude🤮🤮Asians don’t have water to drink, but white people come in and bring water to them immediately, even with a smile on their faces. , I observed this at several tables. What a weird operation 👎🤮I sincerely advise the boss to take good care of this eldest sister. Whoever eats is there to be upset. It doesn’t matter what the service attitude is, but don’t let others eat unluckily 😓

The food was terrible. They served us old, stale food, which was completely unacceptable. It was a very disappointing experience, and I wouldn’t recommend eating here.

It was okay but waited ages for collection. Told me 30 minutes then when I arrived I waited an extra 20... It wasn't like they were busy either.
