Knowle Indian Brasserie Restaurant in Solihull

Called in after visiting the caravan show at NEC. Excellent food and service. Especially from Mushy. What a character.

Fantastic food and although very busy the time it took to order and be served was superb. Very friendly staff too.

14th August 2024 Returned once again. Of the many Indian restaurants we have tried in our local area, this is still our favourite and worth the 45 min drive after moving out of the area. Food is amazing!! Perfect portion sizes, beautifully fresh and flavourful. Staff are very friendly and efficient….allowing you time to sit comfortably without being hurried as happens so often in restaurants.

. Attractive premises ✓ Warm welcome ✓ Friendly and helpful staff ✓ Excellent range of food on the menu ✓ Drinks served fast ✓ No disgruntled look when two people drank tap water ✓ Very good table service ✓ Amazing, wonderful, gorgeous food ✓✓✓✓✓ We couldn't have asked for nicer service or better food. Thank you so much for a superb evening.

I have been going here for many years and the food was good. I went again recently and the food was poorly presented and very bland . The biryani was particularly bad. The chicken tikka sagwala had tiny strips of chicken instead of chunks! I will be looking for a better Indian restaurant.

Seems every dish is bright red! Could not eat. Food colouring?

Our first visit here as we were passing through. A well established family run curry house, very pleasing service, good menu, comfortable restaurant. Would recommend the house jalfrezi! Will defo be back next time we’re about!

Great host who was very informative and friendly, great food (and generous portions) and excellent service. Would highly recommend

Visited for first time on a Fri eve. Great food with proper service. Nice cosy restaurant. Must book in advance for weekend.

We have eaten here a number of times and the food is always so good. As organiser of a golf tournament, I booked a table for dinner. Good service, excellent dishes and a way of making you feel happy, that’s why we come back.

Paced in fairly tightly but on the whole a good night out.I

Had an amazing meal here last Friday, it was a busy night and we hadn’t booked but were made very welcome, the staff were very helpful and the food was very good, very tasty and hot, it was a great atmosphere and well worth the visit, definitely worth a visit

Lovely food even though I don't eat curry haha

I was lucky enough to live locally and had lots of great meals here over several years. I have since moved away, but was back for a flying visit for Crufts. The area has some great eateries of all genres , but this was my first choice. After 10 years, food is even better than ever. There has always been that extra something about the staff here, just their authentic care and friendliness going the extra mile. The menu is almost overwhelming, in a good way,of wonderful choices . We just had the best meal. A big thank you

As a visitor to this lovely little village ,we booked a table very last minute for2 people .The food was divine I had a simple korma but it was full of flavour the nicest korma I've ever had . The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was lively but not raucous. We would definitely go back again the next time we visit .🥂

Very nice meal, would go again, steam was coming off the rice it was so hot, never seen that before, brilliant. Nice choice on the menu, food hot and tasty, reasonably priced and cooked on time, licensed bar included. Nice surroundings, clean and tidy too, staff were pretty attentive, all round good evening.

Lovely food and the staff were so friendly. Fully recommend this restaurant.

First time visiting this restaurant and if we are in Knowle again we will be back. We had not booked but the friendly team set us up by the bar for a drink till a table was ready. Once a table was available all the waiters were attentive and friendly. The food was not rushed and tasted great. The whole experience made us feel welcome . Great food great atmosphere and reasonably priced.

Thought it was pleasant enough. I went off a set menu and in hindsight would have been better choosing something I preferred off the main menu. Staff were friendly and my meal fine but not spectacular.

Absolutely lovely place! Great meal, great service 👍

Went for date night and oh my days! The food was absolutely fantastic! Never have i had chicken that just melts in your mouth and a curry full of flavour! Decent sized portions and prices! Husband is a chef and i have never seen him so speechless in a good way about food. Highly recommend for amazing food and the staff were very friendly and entertaining. Can’t wait to go back again

First time trying Knowle Indian Brasserie & definitely be the last, worst curry ever. Ordered a delivery arrived on time, containers were leaking with grease all over work top. Ordered two different curry dishes both were identical in colour taste & consistency so bland absolutely tasteless, No authentic Indian spices in these dishes. Starters tasted of nothing. Would definetly not recommend

Booked a table of 20 people. The food was amazing along with the service. The staff are so friendly and polite. We had a fantastic evening. Highly recommend

Visited for a family meal for a change to our usual curry house and this place did not disappoint. Food was delivered fast with both the taste of the dishes and the quality of the meat being to a high standard. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Hard to find such a high quality curry house in the aeea but this place is a must eat stand out!

Great place. Hadn't gone in a while but thought I need to go. Took the family and had a wonderful time with great service and food. Will not leave it a few years to return. Thanks guys

Everything you need in a quality Indian restaurant. The menu has everything you could need, and the food on it, after being served in a timely way was delicious. For various reasons, I only get to go to this place every few years, but I will always keep coming back.

Our party of 4 enjoyed an exceptional meal at the Knowle Indian Brasserie on Friday evening, 17 November. We had booked in and were sat immediately. Our party ordered an array of starters, drinks and entrees and all were delicious and came piping hot. The waitstaff were very attentive and friendly and kept us laughing throughout the night and made our evening even more enjoyable with their clever banter. It was busy but not loud and we could still hold a conversation easily at the table. We look forward to our next visit.

Fantastic service and the food is delicious fully recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Booked a table after reading the great reviews on here-it did not disappoint. Very friendly staff who were very chatty and attentive and made you feel welcome and at ease- made you feel like you were regular customers. Nicely decorated and clean restaurant. Just had poppadoms and condiments to start and then main course- both ordered from the Brasseries recommend section - a chicken dish and lamb shank - both were delicious and big portions as well that we couldn't finish so took back to our hotel. If visiting this area again would definitely go back for another visit. Highly recommended 👌

It’s consistent this place. The service is great and if you want a certain dish just ask. It’s the best in Solihull.

If you are looking for polite, friendly, but also energetic service, and a jovial atmosphere in which you don't need to raise your voice to hear other people at the table while you eat just outright delicious food, this is a brilliant place. Definitely recommend!

We're on holiday and found this place for a takeaway, food was amazing and service was great.

Best curry house in Knowle, friendly, service is top notch. Would recommend to anyone

Busy busy... great food. First visit for us. Not sure that we needed to be told that our bill was less than the average for a Saturday night though.

Had a great evening.. would definitely recommend it 😁

Amazing service with a smile. All the dishes were excellent too. Mushi was brilliant! Will return soon

Best indian restaurant around, staff and manager are incredibly attentive. Love the atmosphere, service and food. Would highly recommend x

Welcoming restaurant, poppadums were good. Bhajis weren’t anything special. Vegetarian main was a bit average, although the meat mains were well received. It was an ok experience, nothing exceptional for Solihull

Great busy place to eat, lots of atmosphere and superb food.

Lovely food. Happy atmosphere. Good service. Located in a lovely village. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant for romantic evenings, business meals and other social events. I will be back

A pleasant Indian restaurant for a curry. Hadn't been there for over 10 years but decided to give it a go. Food was good. We had Tawa, which was fine. No draught beer though, but rather bottled only.

Booked ahead for a table for two. Ended up being shoved out the back next to a fire escape with no view of the restaurant at all. Service as a result was poor as we were forgotten. Food was good but nothing spectacular which rescues this review to a 3. Won’t be returning. Seems like this restaurant depends on regulars; if you don’t often go here, don’t expect much.

First time here, beautiful meals and starters well impressed friendly staff too will deffo be back again

The food tasted ok at the time, but I have just recovered from severe food poisoning (campylobacter) without a doubt from here

Great high street venue, providing a wide menu of quality food selections. All served by friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of local close parking.

Soft popadoms to start didn’t think much of the main either.

Well what a surprise. 1st time visitors here and was we impressed oh yes. I have to say excellent food. Good service and friendly staff. 10/10 and definitely will be going back. It's a must try place if you haven't been enjoy.

Lovely meal & excellent, friendly service. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala & Chicken Balti, both really tasty & the chicken was so tender. Highly recommend.

Best authentic Indian in Knowle. No frills, good food, friendly staff

The best Indian restaurant! Have tried all in Knowle and this one is by far the best! Friendly staff..... fantastic chef and always feel welcome! Give it a try 👌

At a recent visit we had superb food and excellent customer service which we really appreciated. Well done to all involved, especially when times are so challenging.

Visiting Knowle for our friends anniversary weekend, not knowing the area, we noticed the Indian Brasserie when we were on our way to Loki wines. As we were passing we decided to take a chance and book a table. We weren’t disappointed!!! The food quality and service were excellent! We had the banquet for 4 and it was great value for money!! Absolutely delicious!!

Amazing service and yummy food - really lovely staff

Would have been more as food good. Downsides were long wait with no service and then for food, as they were presumably doing take away and delivery first, but no communication Also waiters handled glasses on drinking edge and careless hygiene wise with food service.

Good service good food difficult to park nearby.

Best Indian experience for years,couldn't fault the place,food superb,staff excellent, prices very good value for money, Very hard to beat

The food and service is superb.

Love this restaurant never had a bad meal. Staff are lovely 😍

Our favourite place in whole area, a regular favourite for dining and delivery. We always bring visitors here so they can see for themselves. The staff are very friendly, always remember us, always welcoming. Can highly recommend!

Very busy so not a place to have a quiet chat, parking a bit hard hence 4 stars

Great service,great food enjoyed by all,will visit again,or may try the take away service..

This is the third time we have visited and we find it fantastic! Having just moved to the area from Sutton Coldfield where there are a myriad of restaurants, this certainly hits the spot. The food so far has been excellent and the service good; the wine is extremely good and well priced. This will definitely be our go-to curry restaurant well done KB 👌

Starters came out cold plus got my order wrong I'm a veggie they gave me chicken

My Wife and I have just dined here for the first time. Not for us, food lacks quality or any authentic flavours. Pre-made, frozen samosa’s, bland. Waiter even admitted the Starters aren’t great! Chicken spinach Tawa was nice hence Two stars. Even the naan was very doughy.

It's just the best food and service in knowle allways welcome you to make your visit great every time thanks again !!!!

Ordered a chicken tikka sylheti, asked for it to be jalfrezi hot, it was delicious. Always kind and courteous staff Great place

My husband and i love this restaurant, every time very tasty and the serice is excellent 😋

We have used this restaurant for about 8 years but have not visited for some time because of covid. We visited the Knowle Brasserie on a Sunday and ordered the special menu which is great value. The starter, main course, rice and nan were great quality. Its so good to find a restaurant that serves quality Indian food. The staff are polite and friendly they make you feel very welcome. We will definitely continue visiting the Knowle Brasserie.

Had a great meal here with friends and enjoyed the food,which you can tell was cooked with care and love making it a wonderful experience,would really recommend going ,it was so good that we've booked the restaurant for our Christmas meal

Always a friendly welcome, and reliably good food. Good value for money.

On the plus side the new decor is a big improvement. My partner and I shared a grilled meat starter which was tasty . I tried the chicken tikka stir fry, it was okay but lacking in spice.

Just had lovely time tonight when we were able to celebrate my birthday last minute...looked after with presentation ice cream cake complete with candles and singing with great menu recommendations. Thanks for memorable evening!

Been coming here for over a decade. Food is great and staff are really friendly and welcoming. They were always caring to my mum when she was ill

We’re from Balsall common village which is 3 miles away. We’ve tried the 3 Indian restaurants in our village but The knowle Indian restaurant is far better in food and service. Definitely recommend their 4 course deal.

Throughout lockdown was such a solid consistent meal that i truly appreciated. Yes there are a lot of places out there, but the chicken madras and nan is to die for. 5 starts guys, keep it up

Love the Indian brassiere and always get our takeaways from here, agree with lady below they do get orders wrong and annoying when you get home and something is missing, the food is lovely though Only got a 4* though as ordered a starter vegetable samosa tonight with the meal and it was quite poor Could tell they were not freshly made I would imagine out of a packet and so small and not nice when I think of the samosas we buy from the sweet centre in sparkhill they are 3 times the size and beautiful for a third of the price

Fine curry used many times spot on!!!!!!!

We used to really like this restaurant and used to dine in frequently, but they can never get a take away order right - even before lockdown!! Our order placed this evening arrived on time, but completely wrong and when we called them back, they argued with us instead of apologising and offering to correct it - isn't the customer always right? We then called to chase it, after waiting nearly an hour for the missing items and they told us we could come to collect it. Absolute joke. Won't be ordering from there again. Loyal regular customers - lost!!!!!!!

Amazing place, with great food and great customer service, it's no wonder the likes of Shah Rukh Khan has been there!

I went there with 5 other work colleagues upon a recommendation from a friend and they did not disappoint! Especially with how well they dealt with the social distancing and new Covid restrictions. The food was amazing and well presented and the staff were so friendly. I’m returning with my family for my father’s 60th birthday and will continue to recommend to anyone travelling to the area. 5 stars

My wife and I ordered some take away curries last night for the first time after reading the reviews on this place and what a mistake that was. I've never seen such red curries, the chef must have tipped a bucket of red colouring into the pot. It tasted as bad as it looked, artificial, lacking in any real flavour but it was the after-effects that really put the wind up me. I spent almost the entire night visiting the bathroom with an upset stomach and vowed never darken the doorstep of Knowle Indian Brasserie ever again. It felt like the bottom had fallen out of my world or more accurately the world had fallen out of my bottom! The only brass they have is the brass-neck to call this place a brasserie in the first place. It most certainly is not, unless you count a pile of red muck that looks almost as bad on the way out of your system as it went in. Avoid like the plague.

One of best curry's I've had chicken was like butter soft not cubed like most places staff were lovely too

Very traditional Indian. Food is superb. Naan bread is so fresh and cooked to perfection. I have chicken madras and it’s the best I’ve ever had.

Always enjoy the food from here but Everytime they give us short on the mint yoghurt and onion salad so again last night although I ordered 2 popadom starters and said we need a pot each of the salad and mint yoghurt so four in total they only sent 1 of each and those were only half full so ended up eating dry poppadoms and my other gripe we ordered a starter samosa £2.95 you got 2 of the smallest samosas I have ever seen about half a mouthful each if that That was really poor for that much I get huge samosas from the Suraj sweet shop in sparkhill hot out of the oven for about 50p each and beautiful, quite dissapointed again last night that things were missing again and never got my b/card receipt either ☹️

Ordered 3 completely different curries but everyone was exactly the same. Another curry house conning it’s customers. The curry sauce was also bland, tasteless and lacked any spice

Possibly one of the best take aways we've had in Knowle.

We’ve been using the Knowle Brasserie for some twelve years since we moved to the area. Very friendly and helpful staff, great menu and superb food. We love the place!

Well this is the first time we have used this restaurant for a takeaway. We found the staff very helpful, and easy to order over the phone.We found that the starters were the best part of our meal, as the curries looked better than they tasted.I quite liked the keema rice, and we all agreed that the popadoms were the best we had had for some time .Worth a visit, and would like to try it when the restaurant is open again.

Had delivery. Absolutely fantastic service considering we’re in lockdown. Food was piping hot and arrived on time

I’ve just ordered my food and it seems they have watered the curries down for mass produce, I will not be ordering again and do not advise doing so, I would advise going across the road to cafe saffron and ordering a real curry, the staff are also very very rude to the point where I debated putting the phone down. If I could they would’ve received no stars

I ordered a takeaway on the phone and was so excited. I was told the food would be 45-1 hour. It never turned up. Kept trying to call them but they disconnected their phone line.

We went to the Knowle on the 1st of March as we wanted something different. We were not dissapointed, it was a refreshing change to the usual Indian restaurants we had been to. The food and service was great. Will definitely be going there again.

Lovely timeless food and great service

Been to the Knowle Indian Brasserie a few times and had one carry out and it is consistently great. The saag paneer is unlike any I have had before and I am a huge fan. Its open late for dining which is great as I tend to finish work after 9pm so thats a big bonus too. Very reasonably priced too.

Another truly delicious meal from Knowle Indian Brasserie!

Nice food. And friendly staff with decent prices for a place to eat in knowle.

Had a great Christmas curry, there were 14 of us, the food was excellent, the service good with a great atmosphere. Would recommend to all.

Too late to sort out a table but had a very good takeaway instead. Really accommodating plus good value
