Karma Lounge in Birmingham

Joe is great at accommodating us last min most times, Allways pleasant and freindly chap… feels like a brother he’s so welcoming with a hug

Awful. Avoid. Food isn’t great and service was terrible. Don’t waste your money. We will never return after the worst curry we’ve ever had.

Dismal staff dismal food worst place ever I would never recommend this place the best part about it was the exit

Always quality food 10/10… service is always perfect friendly and always great on recommendations on what too have… my favourite curry house to go, either eating in or takeaway

Always great food had a phaal this week and was delicious

Really good menu, tasty food and great service. Great place to enjoy a family meal.

Another great meal at Karma, they never fail, lovely food with really friendly service. It remains our go to restaurant for Indian food. It was recommended to us and everybody we have recommended it to have been similarly impressed.

Food was ok, as we were the only people in there due to the football you would of thought the food would of been cooked better, the service was lovely, however as we were the only 2 people there everytime I looked up the staff were staring at me wating for me or my husband to want something and it made me uncomfortable. They had the football on at the reception desk which was fine but a staff member kept shouting over to us when something happened. If we wanted to know about the football we would of stayed at home to watch it!

Food excellent, very friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Definitely worth a visit. 😁

Great place to eat. First class staff. If it's not on the menu, just ask and they will make it for you. Highly recommend

Walked in for a takeaway. Really nice place and wonderful atmosphere, quite busy but then it's a Saturday night. Never been here before and this will not be the last. If I wasn't scruffy and in need of a shower I think the takeaway would have become a dine in. A reasonable wait for our food to be cooked and we were kept informed. The food came and I was worried think there looked a lot there. Wonderfully hot, tasty and just a little to much. Loved it and will definitely visit again.

We walked in staff opened the door greeted us, and showed us to the table. Ordered and the food came out looking good and tasted great I had the lamb-filled pepper and then the tandoori mixed grill, very good indeed. My only downside we weren't offered any drinks but then we could have asked and I'm sure the staff would have bought something over but our first time there we would go back again. Small intermittent venue but you don't feel on top of others.

Visited with a few friends, we all had a very nice meal. Friendly attentive staff, will re visit 👍

Lovely curry, me and Mrs went panache in Sutton week before was massively disappointed so come back to karma lounge. 10/10 as always and top service from the gaffer

Flat lemonade. Manager looked aggravated when I said it. Small amount of curry. Nann was vile. Rice was ok. Curry, rice, nann 2 poppodoms glass of pop. £28. Expensive I’ll not use them again.

Have visited many times always first class food and service. Staff very friendly and happy to accommodate. Thank you.

Love this restaurant, staff are friendly and welcoming. Could eat the chicken tikka puri all day long! Taking your own drinks makes this place affordable for us. The only negative as with most Indian restaurants are desserts, would love to have something home made.

great 5 * food clean good serives mark / rachel

Previously had take away but far better to dine in.

That was a takeaway. Poppadoms were soggy as they were sealed in a plastic bag. Food was a bit blend.

Tetul mix starter best ever ...and bengal chicken main was gorgeous

I come for a family meal on the 5th April 2023. They took nearly 2 hours with our food. Everytime we asked them how long they said it’s coming and then half hour later it arrives. Diabolical service.

Love this place, food is excellent, service is excellent never had a problem here and have been going for over a year now regularly.

I ordered from this place on ubereats, they delivered my food, the bag felt light so I asked the driver did u pack it right bcuz they delivered there own food they don't use a Uber driver to deliver anyway he goes everything is there apart from the magnum ice cream tub I ordered, so I said why, he replied that they haven't had ice cream in stock for ages, so I said what about the £5.99 I paid for it, the guy just said ring ubereats and they sort u out, so if I didn't ask I wouldn't have known, now I rang Ubereats they said my order wasn't eligible for a refund bcuz the restaurant delivered the food then selves, so I rang the restaurant the man on the phone was the boss, he goes ring Uber, I said I already did but they can't do anything, so he goes don't worry I'll sort, whatever that meant, I thought he'd coming with my money, didn't hear anything until 4 days later, I get an notification from ubereats saying that karma lounge has given u £3 off on your next order, the cheek of these guys, 1, I paid £5.99 2, I'm not ordering again and so I was out of pocket of 5.99 also the food was broke average, they didn't follow the instructions at all, so there in a nutshell 🫡

Went for a family curry. Up stairs next to Sainsbury's Staff can’t do enough for you very friendly and helpful Food was amazing.. nothing was left on the plate take your own drink aswell, and good value for money

Been here many times over the years, also collected many takeaway, never really had a problem until recently, on a dark cold Saturday night at 8.00pm got a parking ticket at the rear of the building, parking bays against the fence are 24hour restricted, who on earth is going to park there at the week end and on a Saturday night at 8.00pm and in the dark as well absolute madness, only decision is to stay away, so beware not all it seems is good, Karma Lounge loss

Lovely food but service not brilliant tonight. Just over 3 hours for starters & mains. Decided against pudding as we had been there for such a long time.

Another great tasting meal at a reasonable price. We now live near Cambridge. Pricey there, not very good Indian restaurants. Used to live near here. Whenever we come up we always come here . Can recommend the tetul mix starter and murghi massala. Great food.

Very quiet night in the middle of the week, but the service and quality of food were outstanding. I would definitely eat there again.

I really love this place. Because their service is fantastic. I have no word how I can explain about this and also food is excellent. Thank you karma team. We see you soon.

Reasonably priced curry in here. Food was good quality too. It's upstairs so access can be tricky but there is a starlift out the back. Very clean and tidy in the seating area.

Terrible experience, long wait, bad food fatty meat popadoms stale, tasteless, cold, driver was rude! When complained was told will get a discount next time - won't be a next time. Waste of money.

Ordered my food at 20.27 Recieved no updates so had to keep ringing up to see where my food was. Told 2 minutes away. Another 30 minutes pass and ring again and they say you still not recieved? Another 10 minutes it arrives and the food is cold. Driver was rude. Told to make a new order next week and they'll give me a discount? Food didn't arrive until 22.05 Food was cold, No taste to the food it was bland. The popadoms were stale. No meat on the lamb chops. Meat in the curry was grissley. Won't be ordering from here again. No option on uber eats for a refund Terrible customer service Terrible food Waste of nearly £25

Small upstairs venue. Bright modern clean decor. Our party of four found the food very good. Generous portions. You will need to bring your own Alcohol.

Great food at an excellent price the staff here were very friendly and welcoming .

Excellent food and excellent service

Outstanding take away, so fresh and a very good portion.

BYO as unlicensed but supermarket virtually next door so no issues there, food varied and tasted fresh and very good indeed. Staff very attentive and helpful

i ordered on foodhub and they said on the phone they haven't been on there for 5 years i dont even think foodhub has been around that long then i tried to order over the phone and there putting the price up saying £20 for one curry for myself and on there website i could of got it for £15 the man on the phone hardly understood me and trying to charge me more no thanks stay away

Have visited many curry houses in the area but this was our first visit to the Karma Lounge and we were very impressed. Very friendly and attentive staff and manager Joe made us feel very welcome. Ordered from the Banquet deal and also a takeaway for family. All meals were very tasty and served hot. Will definitely visit again and would recommend 👌. Well done guys... spot on 👏👏👏

Not the best service-waiter was rude when asking question and felt rushed into ordering-we ordered our starter-that didn’t arrived yet they wanted us to pick our main. Even though we had a birthday party and we’re a large group. Wouldn’t go again

Nice restaurant with great food !! Served by friendly staff in a clean and pleasant setting

Absolutely loved the food, it was fresh and tasted amazing. The staff were very friendly and chatty. I will most definitely be returning.

Great food. Staff are very good and nothing is too much trouble. We'll worth a visit.

Excellent food throughout. Difficult to fault. Excellent value for money. Therefore 9 of us with different dishes and all thought it was very good

Excellent, well cooked food and a friendly owner and staff. Pleasant dining area with a mixture of small and large tables. They are not licensed to sell alcohol, but you can take your own or buy from the Sainsbury's Local next door. Highly recommended.

Ordered a take away. It arrived 2.5 hours later cold and with items missing This was after two phone calls says that the food was on it's way. When we called about the order once it had arrived the staff weren't overly helpful and passed my fiance from person to person and still didn't rectify our complaint. Definitely Don't recommend and won't be ordering from here again.

Eat here last night dreadful service Iv ever ever encountered !!!! After waiting 15 mins for popadoms then and hour for Starters then another hour for mains then another 15 mins for nans After complaining the manager said it was hard cus all his staff were fasting !!!! I said well we arnt and you shouldn’t open if that’s the service you are going to give Avoid avoid avoid just dreadful no customer service what so ever !!! Would never recommend and never go again

good quality nice portion size food, excellent staff

Love the food. Staff really helpful due to my allergies and always up for a chat, smile and joke. BRILLIANT. Thank you.

A spot on place if you like an Indian meal, four of us had an excellent meal, in pleasant surroundings. It was fairly quiet on a Tuesday, we were able to relax and enjoy our food. Parking available at the back of the premises. Stairs to enter could be a problem if you have disabilties.

Tried to chase up order but they put they phone down on me after telling me to wait as they are busy. Been 1hr 40mins now. Can't even cancel as not answering phones now. Edit: Food turned up over 2 hours later than the 45 mins they said it would be. We had ordered elsewhere and eaten, They offered us the food for free as an apology so i have added a star. Asked them to give it one of the many homeless B'ham council refuse to help. Wish i could have rated their food as it is meant to be excellent.

Karma never disappoints. Fabulous food and service as usual. Our favourite of all of the local choices and we are lucky that it is our doorstep. Friendly but unobtrusive service and top notch food.

Ordered from the restaurant before and not had any problems but I ordered food for delivery for 6 today and then it didn't turn up so my partner called at 18:05, he was told the food was ready but hadn't been sent out as they were waiting for a delivery driver. We still didn't get our food by 18:30 so my partner called again and was told the food had only just been sent out. Our food didn't arrive until 18:45 and was barely warm so the food was not enjoyable at all. They also sent stale poppadum's...I would have sent the food back if my partner hadn't been working a late shift which means he only gets a dinner break from 6-7. Needless to say we won't be ordering from here again.

Nice enough place to eat, no license but Sainsbury's is downstairs open until 11 to get a drink. The weekday offer for £12.99 advertised online is apparently not on until next year 🤔

Excellent service Brilliant food a very good choice for my daughters birthday will definitely be back 10/10

First timers booked a table for 16 had the banquet option £11.95 each lovely hot well presented food very good value attentive staff didnt wait long all our food came out at the same time 16 satisfied customers will return !!

Great menu, good food, nice decor, fantastic staff - genuinely helpful and friendly: nothing is too much trouble. There will be a return visit!

Lovely food and atmosphere with very friendly attentive staff.

I will always recommend Karma Lounge to everyone, the food is lovely, the place its self looks great and the staff are so friendly, they always have a greeting and welcoming smile on their faces

We came for our son’s last meal before going University, from the start we were made to feel so welcome and accommodated with glasses and poppadoms. The rest of the service and food was excellent and even though I am Coeliac and so gluten free I had plenty of choice and was confident the staff understood my condition. Thank you what a lovely evening in a buzzing atmosphere.

Wonderful experience, staff are ever so lovely, food was great and prices were great. Recommend

Delicious food and lovely people. Highly recommended.

Always looked after in here, fantastic staff, great food

In an area rammed with Indian restaurants, this is the one I go back to most often. Great food!

Great food with friendly staff.

Fantastic customer service. I been here with my family and we had great night here. Recommend Indian restaurant in bolmere road karma launge

Fantastic food as always, brilliant service and friendly staff, thank you

This is hands down the best Indian restaurant/takeaway that you can order from. They never let you down with the service or the food. If you put me on the spot and asked me what the best food to order is, I'd say the tetul mix, followed by the king prawn and chicken pathia (not actually on the menu) but everything I have is always beautiful. Great place.

I'm looking forward to popping in here once the restrictions are lifted. I had an onion bhaji takeaway for £2.50. I received a complimentary poppadom. Very good food. Will re-edit once I've eaten inside

Pickle in curry has changed my life forever 🤯

Great food and service and a bonus you can take your own booze, especially as there is an outdoor next door! 😁

Outstanding as always so fresh and hot. Tasty food, can never go wrong. Great staff and management very friendly. Thanks as always Tony and Hollie

Visited here tonight and was very impressed. They found us a seat despite the restaurant being extremely busy. Food came fast and staff were very nice and went out their way to make the experience just that little bit better. Will be visiting again for sure

Absolutely packed out with groups of young people, far too many people in the restaurant, manager seemed unable to say no! Avoid at all costs, absolutely no social distancing!!

We went to Karma lounge this evening.We were very impressed with the fantastic efforts made by the staff in protecting their customers from Covid 19. The staff kept a good distance when serving meals and they wore face masks. We were provided with paper menus and there was plenty of hand sanitiser. Contact details were taken too. The food was lovely and great value even before the "Eat out to help out" discount was applied. We will definateley be returning soon. Keep up the excellent service Karma lounge. Tracey and Sam. 🙂

First visit to a restaurant since covid! Unfortunately what a disappointing experience so 4 our family went booked a table for 19.30 from the beginning to end it was poor! Waited 75 minutes for starters and followed a further 30 minutes for main for then the order to be wrong so by then we had gone past the main meal and did not manage to eat it. Thankfully it was a reasonable price however if the restaurant can't manage to run the restaurant during these new regulations then don't try to achieve this. Very disappointing evening will not go again.

Absolutely recommend beautiful service amazing quality food you pay for what you eat totally coming again👌🏻👍👍

Had to have delivery service because of restrictions but normally eat in. It's the usual go to for about about 20 of us. Absolutely fabulous meal. The lamb shank was pretty special. Couldn't fault it, fell away from the bone, was succulent and the potatoes, sauce and spices were a dream. We also ordered the prawn pathia which was light and fluffy, and special mixed bhuna which was judged to be the best ever by the old man. Lovely crisp, light pops and chutneys and a naan like a duvet cloud. Plenty left over for tomorrow. And all delivered and the order taken, by the most pleasant and professional people who obviously love what they do and take great pride in doing it. Hope you're open soon Karma. 👏👍

My husband and I have been coming here or having take aways for the last 6 months. The food whether eat in or take away is consistently great. We order chicken pathia 💗 highly recommend & as long as they're open we'll go no where else

order last night at 6:30 an I was ok with the original wait time as I know we are in difficult time, so it was supposed to arrive at 7:50 at 8:15 we called to ask how long it would be and was told it would be straight out to us and they would through in some extras as a sorry so ok brill. Then at 9:30 we were getting angre so called again was told it hadn't even left but would be straight out ok so we waited again by 10:05 we called again to be told it was 3 minutes away. Then it arrived at 10:15 and my husbands meal wasnt even in there so we called again and told them we had had enough we wanted our money back we were assured we would recieve a refund then this morning just eas text us saying we will receive a £3 refund from the restaurant 😡😡😡 are you joking that dosnt even cover the meal that we didnt even receive. I will be calling every day untill I an refunded my whole meal 😡😡😡😡😡😡 this is my order number to prove I order 911561960

Myself and my wife and four friends booked a table the service was very poor, the mains came out befor the starters and to add insult to injury were asked to leave as soon as we finished our meals, they overbooked massively won't be going again.

Awful service took an hour and a half to get a starter and only after we asked several times, more interested in people with take aways than customers in the restaurant and we were not the only ones, people being pressured to leave as soon as they had finished their meals but still with drinks not and others being told if they didn't like to wait go to the chip shop stay away at all costs really poor all round.

What a shame been here many times But tonight was really rushed.People were waiting for our table.The waiter actually came to us and said they had been waiting an hour .He said they only book the table for 45 minutes to an hour .So won't be returning.45 min for 3courses.The party next to us left only having starters .

Wouldn’t come here again!! Table booked for 7pm. They had to move someone to seat us. The starters and mains were rushed out. Didn’t even finish the starters before the mains arrived. Barely put the fork down to the mains to be told we need to leave others are waiting for the table and have been waiting an hour. Our party had only been there an hour and 15 minutes ourselves!!! No apology off management. Just hurry up and get out. And when our party did try to complain, the manager was too busy shouting and being aggressive to a man holding his young child as his large party had waited an hour and a half for a starter alone. Completely over booked and had no way of dealing with it. Such a shame as every other time I’ve been it’s been great. And the food is lovely!!! But won’t be coming again, that’s for certain.

Very nice food, we had a party of approximately 30 people they were very efficient , and standards were very high.

Food awesome! Staff very friendly

Thanks to Joe & the guys at Karma for another lovely evening & meal. Service was first class as it always is. Food was excellent, even when asking for off menu dishes. Will keep returning.

It's very good. The food is beautifully prepared with great ingredients and the staff are always charming but it takes a Long time between ordering the food and it arriving at the table. Typically we wait 40-45 minutes before the main course arrives which is fine if you are patient but they appear to be doing a lot of takeaway business and I am not convinced that those customers wait as long as the customers in the restaurant. I may be wrong. Anyway, it's still our go to Indian in Boldmere. If we aren't in a rush.

First visit here with my brother and his wife plus hubbie.Tables are beautifully dressed and not on top of each other. Take your own alcohol, couple of near by places to buy. Had a couple of starters plus usual poppadoms . For mains I had Lamb Shashlick which was amazing . Hubbie had his usual chicken curry. also ordered Jhinga Chilli Bhoona and Masala fish. Food was plentiful and hot ....some dishes in more ways than one !! Exceptional food , in great surroundings with great service.

Went for a Christmas works meal , Excellent food , excellent staff , excellent price , what more can i say .

Excellent food, great service at a reason price. Nice and clean environment only disappointment is access for disabled is not good as it’s upstairs.

I think it’s the best curry house in Boldmere! Good quality food, excellent service, nice environment, good selection and you can take your own booze! The only downside is if your disabled it’s upstairs!

Amazing food .wonderful hospitality, felt so welcome ,

This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised and would be happy to recommend it to anyone. The food was excellent, staff friendly and it is reasonably priced.

Had a lovely meal here on a Wednesday night so opted for the banquet special which is great value. Place was packed but service was still excellent. Food was wonderful as usual, try the tandoori chicken bhuna. Definitely the best curry house in boldmere.

Love the curries here. Been many times even though it's not local. Going again this week

Our experience at this restaurant was awful. We waited 2hrs for food and it was the worst curry ever tasted!! Staff were rude and service was non existent!!

Came here on a Wednesday for the banquet deal & the food and service were great.The deal is great value & they don't scrimp on portions like some other places.The curry was so nice we decided to go back again the next night!Again, the service & food could not be faulted.Very glad we found this little gem.

I’ll keep it simple. The food is poor quality, very cheap meat, Food comes out half frozen. Had bad stomach cramps after eating here. The staff are rude beyond belief. They laugh at you and about you to the other staff as does the manager. I also noticed recently whilst parking at the back of the restaurant, they keep their food in a small plastic shed on the rear car park under some stairs. I will never eat here again and advise anyone to avoid the place.
