Worst Place to Dine In! Me and My Friend went to have dinner in here after just walkin in one bald guy just started yelling saying "you can't walk in like this" this was downright humiliating behaviour! He was acting like we went there to eat for free! After that me and my friend just walked out of there! They really should know how to behave with customer! Never faced such embarrassing thing anywhere before!

Went there for dinner and had a horrible experience in terms of food and service. We ordered the following: 1. Biriyani - The quantity for the price was very very little. The rice had no salt and taste. It barely had any chicken pieces. It was just yellow rice with tiny bits of old dry chicken. 2. Chilli cheese rice - Rubbish. Just oil, rice and burnt bits of hot chilli with no salt. 3. Butter chicken - It was the sweetest savory dish. Again, horrible in taste, texture and looks. They dumped sugar in it and it turned it into dessert. 4. Cheese naan - dry, chewy and no cheese. 5. Tawa lamb - No salt, just alright. The only edible dish from the worse dishes. Overall, very horrible experience and the manager kept justifying the taste and service.

If you haven't been to the Kolkata Lounge yet book a table NOW!!! Tock my 14-year-old daughter for her 1st curry at a Curry House. The staff made us feel so welcome and helped her choose a dish that would be great for her. As she could not decide between the 2 they recommended they said they would do a combination just for her, 2 smaller portions. A real gem and well worth the visit.

I ordered two separate orders. I've had this food before and it was always amazing but this time I was disappointed. There was no shatkora in my lamb shatkora dish!! Keema nan had two different colour meat in there? What's that all about? Was it left over mince? And the curry container leaked right through the silver foil in both dishes...discolouring my car seat. I really hope the management hasn't changed cos the quality and quantity has definitely changed.

Just got back from our Xmas day dinner. £40 for 3 courses biggest bargain ever. I can’t believe I live so close to such an amazing restaurant with amazing food and brilliant staff. I would say without doubt the Indian Shepherds Pie is basically the best Indian dish I have ever had. The starters were ultimately delicious. Sea Bass was a delight along with lamb chops and the salmon was beyond great. A special mention to the staff that look like they enjoy their work. I will be returning regularly.

Only 4 paneer pieces in paneer tikka, it was coloured red, it don’t even have salt, forget abt other spices. Very bad food. Even bad customer experience, they asked us to move to a very small table coz we didn’t order main course after we started eating and they were very rude to us. Don’t come here EVER. It’s only for foreigners not Indians, not even salt is present in their food and it is abundantly expensive. Don’t try, WoRST EXPERIENCE.

This place had been recommended to us and we’re so glad we tried it. Friendly attentive staff, great vibe even for midweek Wednesday night. They offer a combo dish on the menu, what a great idea! A way of trying 2 smaller portions of different main curry dishes as one main course (hope that makes sense). This absolutely sold it for us as we’ve never come across this anywhere, if you’re indecisive it’s the way forward! Everything we had from the popadoms with dips, mains and naan breads were delicious. We will definitely return 😊

This is usually one of our favourite places to visit in Stirchley but a recent visit left us disappointed. Usually on entering here there is a warm welcome but on this occasion we were left standing for a while with no acknowledgement whatsoever even though there was a member of staff close by. When we were eventually seated it took time to get served. Throughout the evening it seemed that the staff were totally stressed to the point they seemed to be arguing with each other. This does not make for a comfortable dining experience and we felt in the way.

(Oh dear - I didn't mean to sound like some kind of restaurant-review-made-by-AI). Service perfectly good and place was very popular too. Our party of 8 were well satisfied for under £20 a person.

We used this a lot in the.past but saying it has gone down hill is an under statement. This was never a cheap and chearful option but for us it used to be worth the money for nice food. Chilli naan had no chilli and you could have wrung the grease out. This was a takeaway which was paid to have delivered. However there are lots of restaurants near this so suggest you go there. You are paying high prices for dreadful food,

Have used this restaurant for takeaways in the past, rather than eat in. To be fair the food has always been good, nothing to complain about there. However called in on off chance if eating in on 30th December. Hadn't booked, so fair enough if nothing available. However customer service was absolutely disgraceful. Asked politely if a table for two. I may well have asked front of house guy if I could wipe dog muck into the carpet. Literally waved his hand in a go away fashion, just muttering "No. Pfffttt." Master class in how to be rude to customers No manners. Whatever charm school he went to, should ask for his money back. So, with plenty of choice in Stirchley I can't see any reason to ever, repeat ever use this restaurant again.

We visit this restaurant regularly. We work late on a Saturday night and there is always a warm welcome for us when we come in hungry at 11pm! The staff are friendly and efficient. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is always spotlessly clean. No matter how busy they are, the quality of food is never compromised. Delicious curries, always hot and fresh which can not be said for everywhere. We are very lucky to live in an area where there is so much choice but this place is definitely top when it comes to Indian food!

Spent over £50 only to have to wait another 30 minutes to warm up the whole meal in the oven, by this time the rice and naan breads were hard, totally fed up, ruined our meal night.

Been coming here since it opened, it's now on at least its third refurbishment (they took full advantage of lockdown) and evolution and re-invention. Somehow managing to balance the creative development of its cuisine towards a different take on Indian restaurant food (check out the Shepherd's Pie!) whilst retaining its core family local atmosphere. Always welcoming, always tasty, it's not the cheapest, but the food is worth the extra cost. Would recommend to anyone whether they're looking for just a standard curry or something more adventurous (also any restaurant that can make okra palatable gets a five star rating from me!).
