Milan Indian Cuisine in Birmingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had a meal early evening at the restaurant, so there wasn’t many diners. The food was nice, starter platters required sauces as they were dry and a bit greasy. The mains were served promptly. The service was great and we were looked after.

Tonight was the best Indian meal we've had in a long time, high quality chicken and prawns, perfectly cooked and spiced, the best peshwari naan I've ever tasted, everything was delicious. The staff are welcoming and friendly and happy to give recommendations on choice, excellent service, we will be back, less than 10 min walk to new street station.

I’ve never left a bad review but this was dreadful only good thing was a speedy delivery this is probably on account for it being nothing short of a microwave meal, awful for the prices they are! Naan bread was like undercooked dough and extremely greasy, chicken was tough and chewy, sauces had no flavour at all, it’s the worst curry we’ve ever had, we will never use this place again, or recommend!

I’ve lot count of the amount of times I’ve walked past this restaurant over the years. This time I finally went in! From the go the service was great and attentive without being claustrophobic. It was also clear that this restaurant has a lot of repeat customer with at least half the diners being warmly greeted. The food was all good quality with good portion sizes. To those not familiar with Milan, make an effort to visit. It’s worth it.

excellent food as always. 10/10

My husband and I always pass this resto on our way home. We keep saying we will try them out, and today, we finally did. It was worth it! 😊 Very fresh and delicious food. Great and friendly service. Nice ambiance. Clean place. Thank you for the lovely evening. We’ll definitely be back~

Absolutely fantastic customer service I had booked a meal last night to celebrate a birthday they had made it so special, they also greeted myself by my name as we had walked through the door which is something you never see. I would definitely recommend going to Milan as it’s such a hidden gem and needs more recognition. The food was exceptional and I can strongly say I will be returning back, thank you again all.

driver was awful. lost his way. on phone 20 minutes hearing his sat nav saying he was no where near. unintelligible english too.

Collected a takeaway- has to be the best Tikka Mossala and Sag Aloo I’ve ever had. Shame I live so far away from it. Absolutely brilliant.

absolutely beautiful. a full 5 stars anytime. 10/10

Excellent place. Can't fault anything.👍👍

We were guests at a private party. The food was excellent, starters served to the table and mains, chicken korma, chicken jalfrezi, lamb rogan josh, plus others, were served buffet style. All the staff were very attentive and helpful.

Avoid ordering a biryani, you will not get the standard vegetable curry that comes with it like you do from everywhere else but they still charge a higher price for just the dry rice with meat in it!!!!!

Staff are absolutely lovely! Real family independent vibe. And best masala I’ve ever had!

arrived quick, hot, and great tasting! definitely recommend

We visit Milan regularly when we venture in to Birmingham, as it’s always consistent and excellent quality. The staff and owner always give you a warm welcome and fantastic service. The chicken pakora starter, followed by the cod tawa masala is always a favourite with us. On this occasion we had our children and partners with us, who live out of the Midlands/ UK, and they were impressed with what they ordered and ate.

Lovely meal. Great curry with some new dishes to try and very welcoming friendly staff. Definitely a recommend!

Really tasty food, great staff and generally just a good vibe. Definitely recommend.

Had a great meal at the Milan and the waiters were very polite and bought the meals out in quick time. The food overall was succulent, mouth watering and delicious. I would definitely recommend if you want an Indian cuisine.

Great Food, Great Service & Great Value! First family visit to this edge of city centre restaurant and we were not disappointed. As we were staying in town for one night only and Indian food was on the menu, we took our time to research all the nearby options. Not only was the menu at Milan the most familiar (with all the classic dishes we expect from a good Indian), the online reviews were also very promising not to mention the prices. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Nico who offered us different table options, which was really appreciated. Drinks orders followed swiftly and we perused the extensive menu. We were then given some very helpful advice on the main course options by the lovely Bosco, who ensured Chef tweaked our dishes according to our requests. Our starters (Milan mixed grill) arrived hot, sizzling and fresh and the mains (lamb saag, lamb rogan Josh & chicken korma) exceeded our expectation, all served with very generous rice portions and naan bread. Whilst the food alone would be reason enough to return, great service and warmth really do elevate any dining experience. Whether you are local or visiting, be sure to visit Milan Indian Cuisine at the next opportunity!

Went here with colleagues for an evening meal. Great value, amazing food, lovely atmosphere and the staff were awesome. Would definitely go again. The menu was fabulous.

Been going for 30 years . Wonderful

Ordered Aaloo paratha and was delivered normal paratha. Side dish was no way tasting like makai kofta. But everything was as costly as it could be.

Really good high quality authentic punjabi Indian food, very good service. Restaraunt hasn't sold out entirely with bland flavourless western influenced Indian cuisine, has kept some Indianess, as seen by Indian clientelle who are well accomodated for. Owner wants to stay true to roots.

Great place!! Great food! Great service. Just one fault paneer dishes are extremely bland - sorry.

Really lovely food with exceptional service - I have dietary requirements and felt very taken care of through out. Highly recommend!

Worst Food And Waste of Money. Small Portions and Taste Less. Not worth for the money paid. Specifically in Birmingham. Will not come back again. Sorry Picture show the food which billed for £45.

Worst experience, very small portions, even not enough for kids. expensive compared to other restaurants, a main which is a prawn biryanis even not enough for one kid but, £19. Even the taste is not good. Meantime been to several other restaurants and one can eat enough for £20. Never visit again or recommend anyone.

The shop floor manager and the owner of the shop amazing top notch guy so sweet guys, customer service is excellent and the vegetarian food menu is fantastic. Highly highly highly recommend them and you will not get disappointed the customer service is amazing.

All ways love this restaurant amazing food service outstanding 👏

Good vegan options. Gobi aloo adraki could do with a little more salt but the Chole Amritsari was very nice and rice were good too. We also ordered Lamb Seekh Gilafi which was average and could of been better.

Great service and food. All 14 of our party had a great meal.

Nice restaurant, friendly helpful staff. Food average, nice but nothing special. Balti was boring, as we are in Birmingham a proper pot and tastier sauce was expected .

Last time i have visited Milan with my few friends for the dinner.I found the service staff are so humble and welcoming . Food they offer is great in quantity and the taste was amazing.

The food was tasty yet again. Came here after almost a year. Taste hasn't changed but been better. Tried the Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken dum Biryani and the Peshwari Naan. The Lamb was soft and tenderly cooked. Would definitely visit here again.

Have been to Milan after a long time. This time we had Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Biryani? Peshawari Naans, Onion Bhajji, Paneer Chilli along with a few items. The lamb was tenderly cooked and delicious. The naans matched the flavor combination. We will definitely visit Milan again.

I've visited Milan Indian Cuisine frequently. Tawa Chicken Multani, Chicken Jalfrazi and the Milan Mixed Grill were the show-stealers. Totally loved to food I tried here.

It was average at best. We've had much better elsewhere, both in terms of food and ambiance. Food we ordered for one of our mains came as a starter (it's listed under mains), the waiter didn't really care. Poppadoms never arrived but were charged for. In hindsight the prawn dish we ordered was a mistake, seriously overpriced for what is essentially just three grilled prawns.

Overpriced for small portion size, very small naan bread, poor quality food, asked for chicken tikka did not receive despite the waiter thinking he could bluff me. Won't be going again. Cannot recommend this place

Splendid hot extremely tasty Indian food with fresh garlic nans & roti .Fresh crisp salad very pleased with 1st time order from.Milan.(no free poppadoms 😞. I will order again. Recommended

Very tasty butter chicken. You need to remember to order rice (and naan) separately which makes the combined price a bit high.

Excellent service, excellent food Will be back

Excellent food, great service, we will be coming here again for certain!

I requested a VAT receipt and never got one

Despite not having a reservation, the incredibly skilled staff at the renowned establishment managed to secure us a table. The atmosphere within the restaurant was undeniably charming and exuded a vibrant energy. Staff members were abundantly present, attentively waiting on guests' needs. For starters, I indulged in the delectable monkfish kebab, which possessed an exquisite delicacy that effortlessly melted in my mouth. As for the main course, I savored a delightful paneer dish accompanied by fragrant rice. The entire dining experience left such a lasting impression that I am truly eager to revisit this exceptional establishment once again.

The food was bland , no taste , order keema naan and half of the naan was plain , completely empty with not 1% of keema

Food great. Delivery driver took 10 minutes to find. Didn't help that the signal with the driver was lost on JustEat

Amazing service - visiting Birmingham and I got this amazing service. Food was very delicious too.

Amazing food, good taste, reasonable price

The food and service was first class. The chef was very obliging to a request and even made the effort to come and talk to us at our table. Highly recommended

Nice location, lots of vegetarian options , wonderful presentation

Excellent food, attentive personnel, comfortable tables and place, which is becoming difficult to find nowadays. The owner took the time to come to say hello. Me and my partner have dined there several times. It has definetly become a must everytime we go to Birmingham!

Had high hopes based on recent reviews. The food was pretty bland. Chicken shashlik was soulless. My curry tasted like an Italian tomato based dish. The quality of the ingredients was very good, but it lacked flavour. The naan was probably the most enjoyable mouthful. The inside is a bit tired. The service was very friendly and attentive. Alas, it's the food we go for and we won't be returning.

Usual high level of service, the owner, and his team go out of their way to ensure your visit is first class. The food is amazing and never disappoints. Will definitely be going back.

Fantastic local family Indian restaurant. Great food, value, service.

Really busy Saturday night (Ashes weekend). Thought they looked after us well considering the size of some of the groups in there. Food was excellent as always.

Went to Milan with the lads there was 10 of us it was last minute solution we didn't book but somehow they manage to fit us in the food was amazing and the service was like a five stars even tho they were really busy they made sure we were well looked after highly recommended thank you niko for looking after us will back again

Amazing staffs very friendly and welcoming food was bang on 10 tried Nali nehri which was recommended by the young energetic manager Nicko let me tell you guys I never had a delicious curry like this before in my life the flavour the meat melts in your mouth so tasty I would highly recommend to family and friends

Really lovely place to eat, the staff were really nice and made the whole dinning experience enjoyable. Food was amazing, would definitely recommend if you’re looking for some real authentic Indian dishes.

Love love love...it's the place to be if you want to be different. Different is the new FAB. Service was on point. We had the in house staff coming around to the table to top up drinks or just simply to ask if we needed anything. Customer care is a definite 5 from me and my wife. Food is to perfection. We will subliminally be expected to be returning. Applause!!... Great me and my wife enjoyed . Thanks

Had a wonderful meal here, chef went through menu with us and recommended food I’d not had before and it was excellent, thank you chef Pavinder, we will come back.

Top Class. I dined here last night with my daughter. Child friendly. Excellent table service, i have never been asked so often if everything was to my satisfaction, and it was! Great value, great food, great beer, and great service. I will certainly return. Thanks again

Fantastic restaurant, tasty food, welcoming owner and friendly staff. much better than asha's.

We were recommended Milan by friends from Birmingham, and I can see why. We didn't book but they managed to find us a table for 2 - it was very early so I'd recommend booking as it was busy early evening. Service was perfect. Food was fantastic. Can't recommend it enough.

peshwari naan was like a bland pancake an lacked flavour. The Chicken tikka masala was a let down. Normally red and flavoursome with a sweet/nutty flavour, shocking! The pilau rice was average, no complaints there but overall disappointed and generally a waste of money I wouldn’t recommend or order from here again.

Really really good quality and tasty food.

Service wise its very good. Food wise - awful. The dips that come with poppadoms are awful. Starters and mains were so bland! A few of us ordered guiness and were served half pints of a fizzy version. Would not recommend

I am writing this as I sit her right now. And this is probably the worse curry I have ever had. Can’t say any more. Starter. Main. Everything. Don’t waste your time or money.

One star is being generous, the food is substandard. Customer service is decent so a shame

Great food and fantastic service! Will certainly visit again!

Earlier in the week i had a birthday meal with 12 friends, every one of them loved it, the food came all at once, the staff were very patient for a big table and were friendly all evening. Will be coming back very soon

Ordered a Deliveroo after seeing the high ratings and it was amazing! The food was just prepared when I arrived at the collection time with a friendly greeting. The staff were very nice and made sure I had everything. The food stayed hot and contained with no spillages. The chicken pathia was so good with the most tender chicken. The spice was just right. The massala chips were full of flavour and I couldn’t stop eating.

Decent food. Good service. Quality of food certainly has improved. Better tasting Curries.

Nice place decent food good service

K.I.S. Keep It Simple. Staying in Birmingham thanks to the train strikes. Found this gem of restaurant. Great food , great staff. Couldn’t fault the food or the service.

Atmosphere slightly scored down as very quiet. Very good value for money. Lamb shank was huge and meat fell off it

We ordered the food online and the quantity and taste was unexpected. We saw the good reviews and then only decided to order. We keep trying new restaurants always to order food but Milan really disappointed us in terms of taste and quantity too. Not a good thing for a person who is hungry and wish to eat something good. Specially, Indians won't like it at all.

It has been around 30 years since I last visited this restaurant. It's just that I don't go down this end of Newhall St very often, and then not usually on a Friday night when we tend to go out for a curry. It has always had a good reputation and obviously changed over the years, I suspect for the better judging by our experience. The food and service was excellent. What was particularly pleasing was the very friendly Abdul's knowledge of the menu. Indian dishes can be distinctly different from your more common Bangladeshi restaurants and it's therefore worth checking how they prepare the dishes. Indian food is usually bespoke to the chef and the dishes are typically noticeably different from each other. A bit of knowledgeable advice from your waiter helps avoid any potential disappointment. I was really pleased that Abdul nailed the choice for me. Likewise he assisted the wife with the details of her salmon dish which she thoroughly enjoyed. Furthermore the pilau rice was superb with none of the all too common red or green food colouring. There was nothing wrong with the onion bhaji starter or the garlic naan either. Even the dips with the poppadoms were better than your usual. The kulfi dessert was also better than the "daleks" you normally get offered. More traditional desserts are also available. Overall a great night, far more relaxed and also a bit cheaper when compared to similar restaurants in the town centre. Well worth checking out and the short walk down Newhall St.

To quality food and very friendly atmosphere.

This was a nice place. We had a fairly large family dinner here so they organised all the tables to make one big long table. Food was tasty but not too spicy. Portion size of serving / price ratio was possibly a shortfall. There was a very nice waiter who opened baby changing room for us 👍🏽👍🏽 and at short notice they provided special birthday cake which was a very good touch. Only minor negative was price compared to portion size. Parking in the area is not brilliant but Street parking is acceptable after 6pm on weekends. There is a local europarks car park ground but it is not clear whether you can park free on weekends. Overall good place.

Great experience! We found this restaurant and we ate the best Indian food ever had! The staff was very good as well especially our waiter (a middle age man very polite). The menu is huge and plenty of choices vegetarian and not. Also the sweets was delicious! Ristorante indiano buonissimo! Lo abbiamo scoperto per caso e abbiamo mangiato veramente veramente bene! Un menù grande e piatti deliziosi. Anche il dolce al latte era buonissimo! Il cameriere inoltre è stato veramente educato e cordiale. Un'ottima esperienza!

Delicious food and drinks served by welcoming staff.

A bit expensive, lamb curry was good but lamb chops wasn't cooked well, rice in combo is very tiny bowl not worth 16£ for the combo

Really nice place for a dinner. The staff is very friendly and have perfect manners. The place has a great atmosphere and is spacious. The dishes are great even tho we found the chicken slightly dry. The paneer was excellent. I took a mocktail and was a bit disappointed. It tasted just like juice and nothing more. Overall, great experience, great value for your money. An ideal place if you are searching for a friendly place where to eat for a reasonable price ( appetizers, mocktail, mains and dessert for less than 50£ for 2people) Thank you Milan staff 😊

It was OK, starters were very nice.

Wirklich guter Inder. Freundliches Personal, ausgezeichnetes Essen und tolles Ambiente. Ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Waren zum ersten Mal hier und wurden nicht enttäuscht.

Excellent service and authentic Indian cuisine. We dined in as well as ordered for delivery to our hotel; both experiences were superb. We stayed in Birmingham for few days and tried other places for Indian food as well. This place has best food and best service at very reasonable price.

A group of 11 of us dined at this restaurant unfortunately I was not particularly impressed with the food and as it was after 10pm when we arrived we felt that the staff were more interested in closing despite spending quite a lot of money in the establishment. Perhaps it may have been a better experience earlier in the day.

Dear Milan Indian Cuisine/ Owner It is very sad that I had to give you a 1 star rating if they had No stars for the rating I would of given you no stars it’s a shame you have to give at least 1 star. I’ve rated you 1 star due to the way you spoke to us and then walked away with really bad attitude, you really need to learn how to speak to people you have a stinking attitude. You did not accept our table minutes before closing this is a lie, your restaurant closes at 10.30pm we came to the restaurant at 10.04pm, we have evidence showing we arrived at 10.04pm, we also called the restaurant at 9.40pm asking if it is ok for us to come and still eat inside the restaurant you told us yes as long as we get to the restaurant 20 minutes before the kitchen closes. We did arrive before 20 minutes, again we have evidence of the phone call to the restaurant. We wanted to sit on a different table as the one you was giving us was right nexts to the bar, and you and your staff was standing there staring right at us as there was no1 else in the restaurant so we felt uncomfortable with you lot standing on top of our heads and staring at us. And my friend doesn’t drink so she didn’t want to be so close to the bar. Firstly we didn’t just eat outside food me and my friend ordered food and drinks from your restaurant, my friend had quickly picked up some fresh food from a takeaway before coming to your restaurant as she wanted to eat at the takeaway but I wanted to eat at your restaurant as I had a positive outcome when this restaurant was under a different management. So she got her food and then we came straight to your restaurant, she had only taken out a few wings before her food came from the kitchen as she was really hungry and we did tell you when you confronted us that it’s because she only eats halal food, but the guy with a beard and turban spoke back to us really rudely with bad attitude and walked away before we could even say anything else before we could explain anymore. We was not being dishonest use your words very carefully, as these kinds of words will get you no where in life. She was apologising when you came up to the table as she didn’t have a problem with putting the other food away if you didn’t like it. But at that moment of time she didn’t know the guy with a beard and turban would speak to us the way he did with bad attitude. The beard guy needs to learn to smile. And needs to learn customer services, the customer is always right. Also that waiter guy turned around also spoke to us rudely saying “God help you” I think God needs to help your restaurant as you don’t lot need to learn customer service he also said we should of asked if this restaurant was halal, I already knew this restaurant isn’t halal and didn’t have no halal signs on the door outside or inside. It’s a shame that you’ve lost us as a customer as we won’t be returning to this restaurant it’s also over priced. We would rather spend our money at a restaurant that has quality delicious Indian curry’s, like Akbar’s and Ithas at least they have better standard and customer service . We will also let our family and friends know not to be a customer at this restaurant.

Great food and excellent service would definitely buy next time I'm in Birmingham

Great food and service top nosh 5 star

Super tasty food, great service.So nice we are going two nights on the trot.best Indian I have had

Food was excellent, staff friendly

Ate here on my own (which can mean getting ignored some places) and they were great. Attentive and friendly service. Not busy so no delays and I was asked if I wanted my main course soon as it was ready or would I prefer 5 minutes gap after starter. That doesn't happen too often and a nice touch. Starter (chaat) was beautifully presented in an edible basket and the yoghurt and tamarind used as decoration. Main course of tilapia, rice and Bombay potatoes was more conventional to look at but tasted delicious. Not super fancy like other Indian restaurants nearby (Lasan, Opheem, Asha) , but this is no-nonsense good value.

This restaurant is sucks and super selfish. I can’t believe how they can being so selfish that playing loud music during night time. Ignore everybody live upstairs or near by them. When you call and told them to just even turn the volume lower, they hang you up. Not even sorry for what they are doing. Can you imagine you living with such noisy environment. Don’t support this business! They are super selfish, worse customer service!!

Awful service, loud music intruding the neighborhood, no one answers calls. Worst restaurant I have ever even came near. Stay away would be my only advice!

Phenomenal !!! Highly recommend, came hot, on time and tastes incredible.

Although the food was good, we had several issues. Starting with dietary requirements. I specifically asked for a dish without peppers and was willing to change my choice if not possible. I got assured that there would be none. My dish arrived and there was peppers. I called a waiter to get it changed but I got called a liar by the staff saying that all peppers have been removed. A second one came a few minutes later and said the same thing to me. You could see the peppers in my plate and I showed them. Mistakes happen, but being called a liar is not acceptable. I am not allergic but the lack of responsibility this restaurant takes for dietary requirements are worrying me. Then, my friend had a dish so spicy that she could not eat it, and felt sick the next day. Again, that could suit some people, but there was no mention at all in the menu that the dish was hot. Lastly, the service was quite poorly, plates got removed for starters when people clearly were not finished, we requested water and got given only 5 glasses for a table of 9. They still charged us full price despite these issues, and added a 10% service charge. I'm afraid I would not recommend this place neither would go back.

Superb food and service. The food was really delicious. The vegetarian and meat menu were both really good. Also when we asked about slightly off menu, very happy to accommodate. Highly recommend and will return.

Lovely food very tasty and fresh . I would definitely come back here when I am in Birmingham next ..
