Millennium Balti in Birmingham

I have been going to the this restaurant for years always delicious food and service is good, great owner who is always checking costumers if they are happy with food and service thank you

Food was generally cooked well, subtly flavoured for the most part. Spicy dishes and allergens were clearly labelled. Lots of variety on the menu. The physical menu is a little more extensive than the online version. Service was on the slower side, although staff were nice and polite. Complimentary coffee or ice cream is available after the meal, and chocolates with the bill, which are nice touches.

With regret I must write this negative review. One star is for the quality of the food only, which wasn't bad. It's the SERVICE that was utterly deplorable last night. Our family has been visiting Millennium Balti for years after my parents found it once when they were visiting me. My elderly father really wanted to go there last night as he's loyal to supporting this local business and the staff are usually friendly. Not last night. Granted, it was BUSY. However we did book in advance. The table we were shown to was not properly laid and there were no glasses, napkins or drinks menu. We were quickly served poppadums but our drinks order was not taken for ages (we used a menu from another table). We ordered food and still no napkins or glasses. I asked for them and we got given some glasses but not napkins so I had to go and physically get them myself which was a bit embarrassing having to explain this to the poor guy behind the counter. My dad made it very clear he wanted a king prawn balti. But he got served a dry chicken dish that he did not want. He sent it back requesting the king prawn balti. What eventually arrived (he'd eaten his rice side dish by this point) was a king prawn tandoori but I didn't realise this until after my dad requested some balti sauce to go with it because it was so dry. This then duly arrived. We enjoyed our meals but we never felt we could ask the waiters anything because they were always dealing with other customers and nobody asked if they could help with anything. When it came to desserts, we ordered one thing from the menu that someone else in our party wanted. My dad just wanted some ice cream. The waiter said "That's only available if we give it to you for free". I asked if this could be arranged and he confirmed it could. He asked me if I wanted a desert. I asked if the complimentary ice cream could be extended to me too. He replied that if I wanted a dessert, I could choose something from the menu (i.e. a paid item). I declined. Later once the desserts appeared, the same waiter asked me again if I wanted to choose a dessert from the menu. Again I declined, somewhat perplexed. Was he trying to make a point, that I did not quality for a 'free ice cream'? Other diners in the restaurant were being served complimentary ice cream. They also appeared to be dining from tables that had glasses and napkins on there. So really we felt a little put out. Anyway, I went to settle the bill and to my surprise, the additional balti sauce that my dad had ordered as they got his meal wrong, was added to the bill. Not wishing to make a scene and managing elderly father and other family members, I just paid it but did not leave a tip. And today I am thinking that we will NEVER come to Millenium Balti again. The staff were rude, inattentive and the service was beyond sloppy. Most of all, we felt so unwelcome there. Well, don't worry Millennium Balti because we won't trouble you with our presence again. Thankfully there are other much nicer restaurants in the area selling similar south Asian cuisine, and who understand what it is like to provide a little bit of basic customer service.

Delicious food and excellent hospitality. Butter chicken melts in your mouth and the nans were fresh and light. Will definitely come again

we all enjoy the food plenty of food left 😋

Massive order, arrived on time, fantastic food

Driver got lost ... Then when he arrived he hinted that I order from somewhere closer to my home because it took him 30 mins to get to me. Don't they have Sat navs ??? He also said that in the comment section that I should enter my personal phone number so they can ring me when they get lost in traffic. You simply couldn't make it up...

Best curry we've had in a while, not oily or greasy, really tasty, rice was abit undercooked. delivery took 1 hour 35 minutes from ordering so maybe we just order for collection in the future.

Another great meal. We have been ordering or visiting this place for years now and always have a great meal.

I used to go here regularly until Covid and changes in circumstances. Returned this evening for the first time in 3 years. Has been refurbished and different floor plan. Nice welcome . Owner,/Manager remembered me as well as a few of the waiters. Good service and meals and portion sizes were great. £13.95 for starter, main, rice/naan/ roti/ chips (choice of) and a coffee or ice cream. Bargain. Nice to go back.

hot tasty food delivered on time with all items

Food took 3 hours and was absolutely foul I wouldn’t have served that up to my dog loads of items missing not what you expect when spending £125 on a takeaway for 6 people!!!

Always great taste and service, thank you

First time ordering. Would definitely order again. Lovely food

The delivery driver called me and made me give him directions from quite a distance away, he could of used a gps from his phone? And he called me more than once

Had a lovely time, staff attentive ,will definitely go again

had a chicken saag balti last night was so bad no flavor no spice the price was cheep empty at 10.30 a few nice diners joined me poor curry for the locals looks good but so tasteless

Freezing cold curry not happy at all

Fantastic food & large portions. Delivery was a bit earlier than estimated time, dr

It was amazing and full of flavour

Great service, food and atmosphere. Millennium Balti hosted our group on a last minute get together. We were expertly guided through the extensive menu by our waiter Ahmed, who dealt with our different requirements and numerous questions with grace and patience. A few of the standout dishes from our visit. Starters: fish pakora, lamb shahlick and tandoori lamb chops. Mains: Garlic Chilli Lamb Masala and Lamb Bhuna Madras. The service was great, and we didn't feel rushed and will be returning soon.

Had a wonderful night of friends and food at the Millennium. We shared dishes. The Lasooni Gosht + Millennium Naan were my faves. The atmosphere and service was great and the waiters happily took loads of photos for us. Keep up the excellent work.

I don't often post reviews, but I was genuinely surprised by this hidden gem. We went for date night. Great atmosphere and lots of interesting house specialities. Thoroughly recommend the Mumbai Frankie Roll, only if your hungry, very filling starter. Wife loved her Dynamite Jingha (pawns). Feeling adventurous I asked for a recommendation over my usual Madras, and our waiter, Imran recommended the Lasooni Gosht, it didn't disappoint! New favourite. Will be back soon.

Staff were very cheerful on our arrival! Staff were very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. Food was amazing. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Imran in particular was very helpful, cheerful and accommodating, listened to our needs and was extremely helpful. Atmosphere was great too!

Beautiful place to dine excellent food and great servic

Lovely atmosphere, staff friendly and attentive and food was very nice- great value for money, esp if you opt for the weekly deal

Used this place many times and normally ok however this evening while speaking to a member of staff to amend a order the staff member was so rude and had a disgusting attitude. Will never use again and will make sure friends and family know about this. This member of staff needs customer service training. Ended up cancelling the order big loss. You will loose many more customers if you treat them like you did me this evening.

Quality food excellent service

Driver keeps complaining they don’t deliver this far but obviously do and food is amazing

Great food, nice portions; happy with a full belly.

Best Balti in Birmingham- our Local

Very good food and service, nice atmosphere been eating there for years, never a problem.

It's decent and I would recommend it for sure.

The food was disgusting. I ordered a curry it was full of onions and wasn’t nice at all. The Naan bread was too sweet I couldn’t even finish my meal. I also received the wrong rice.

the lamb dish was awful. the meat was so tough and totally inedible. the prawn on puri was nice. I never received the rice ordered. very disappointed

Beautiful food, attentive staff, wonderful atmosphere. A memorable meal

love millennium balti, food always hot and delicious

10/10 exactly what was ordered. Good quality tasty food! Delivered on time and hot. Always the best food with millenium Balti xx

First time ordering from this restaurant and can safely say will definitely be returning. Food was lovely and hot, and decent size portions. Delivery driver was also very friendly.

Great food at excellent prices, the staff are always super polite.

Both Nan breads was burnt could not eat them

Great place to have a balti in this area very nice and you get to take your own drinks along!

Great service and lovely tasting curry

very worst food that I had ever eat ...the biryani and ritha was very sweet ...it's not a Hyderabad biryani...it's a worst biryani

Great restaurant and fantastic currys, starters and service. Been going here for years and will continue to do so. Consistently high quality and delicious meals every time. Can also bring your own alcohol. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous food delivered on time would recommend

Excellent food! Only place that does low fat curries and they taste great! Thankyou! Delivery was quick and friendly service

Food is great loads to choose from

I only gave one star because I couldn't leave less the service was disgusting leaning over me near on sat in my lap food was bland and distasteful the bill was so huge I questioned it and the guy started arguing with me rather than explaining the bill to me 80 pound for a few baltis few chapati few starter then when leaving the basically tried pushing us out dirty tables glasses and cutlery

Brilliant place to come food is always hot and fresh 😋 and the service is always 💯% there when you need them. Take your own drinks ☺️ is aloud as long you are not going to cause any trouble 😵‍💫 with the staff. So people out there 💯% recommend and if you have children there even do chips and chicken 🐔🐓 nuggets and soft drinks ☺️ Thank you to the staff........

Amazing quality and service as always

Just had our Christmas Dinner here 999p9pp90pp0pppp0p0pp0plllĺllll0what a perfect meal well worth the money highly recommend to everyone bestv

Excellent as always! Never had a bad curry from here. Brilliant service excellent food

Just ordered Uber eats from this location and the delivery driver was one of the best I have had can't wait to order again

Food was a lukewarm when it arrived but really tasty, will definitely order from here again

I’m very disappointed with this food was definitely not worth £33 it’s not nice at all wouldn’t recommend

Service is outstanding. The meal was delicious. What a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your meal.

Nothing special about stale popadoms and curry’s not hot enough than described and arrived cold

Brilliant Customer Services by all.lots of choices, the meal deal is a hit a bargain. The waiters were very polite and attentive, food was pilling hot and delicious 😋 would definitely recommend.

Meal deal great value and my jalfrezi and naan were very tasty

Great food and good service and delivery to

No taste in vindaloo just threw in chilli powder will not order this dish again

Foods always lovely and staff friendly too.

Lovely food would deffo order again

First time I ordered from them and I was looking to my chili paneer, made it clear that it should be desi style and what I got is absolutely disgusting food, alot of sugar which isn't good for diabetic they couldnt eat it. The food hasn't been touch. Lamb biryani had 2 piece of meat and the chicken had tiny pieces which need magnified glass to see it. I've never seen biryani like this. I can cook better then this nasty food. I wouldn't be ordering from them again. I'm not happy at all. I wouldn't give it one star. Zero from me.i am upset and hungry. I wouldn't even give this food to a poor person.

Really quick service . Food arrived hot and tasted delicious. Driver was very friendly . Very happy with food from here will order again.

I've been going to Millennium for years now, the food and service is always fantastic. I regularly try new things on the menu and am never disappointed, while the servers have always been friendly and cater incredibly well to guest needs. You are able to bring your own alcohol and the deals on food are excellent value for money. They have also redecorated which has made the restaurant feel more open and light and the music sets a wonderful, calm ambience. Very highly recommended.

Ordered two different curries in the last week mild and a hot one and they both taste the same bland won’t be ordering again no taste at all

Love it here! Food and service fabulous!

Excellent food. Always fresh quality ingredients. Fast delivery and nice delivery guy. Would definitely recommend

Food was delicious. Nice size portions & naan was amazing 😍. We stopped using a while ago as quality went down but thought we’d retry & very happy with this order

Amazing Indian! Food was fantastic service and resturant to very high standards! Will be going again soon!

A very good meal. Great service reasonable prices. Would return glady

Amazing food, they took note of our "no chilli" request

Amazing food, great service & lovely staff!

Millennium is the best curry place and the service is like a ur at home. The food I've had over past 1 year is really like heaven and its melts in my mouth

Lovely food. Always arrives piping hot. Big portions. Excellent value for money. Many thanks

Really lovely tasty food!!! Will order again

Food was bland. Ordered butter chicken but looked and tasted like masala? Not much spice or flavour in any of the three curries we had. Naan’s was disgusting had 2 millennium naans and garlic and cheese naan but found them inedible as they had big lumpy pieces of garlic throughout, something we have never experienced before. Food came super early and delivery driver was friendly but was food cold:(

Food was nice and hot Curry was very nice and tasty wasn't keen on mixed kebab starter meat was dry and forgot my can of pop

Excellent fresh food as always. Can highly recommend

Arrived on time and delicious, tender lamb in the curry.

After reading so many good reviews, I thought the food would be reasonably good, but very disappointed. 1. Hyderabadi Biryani- It’s definitely not Biryani. The rice was so oily and sticky. The taste was horrendous. We felt that it wasn’t freshly made on the same day. 2. Veg Biryani- Same comments as above. 2. Panneer tikka: It was sweet dish with lot of red colour and no flavour. 3. Chettinad Lamb: It was not Chettinad lamb, but was manageable with Nan. 4. Garlic chilli chicken was okay ish . 5. Naga- Chicken: This was the only main dish that was tasty . 6. Garlic & Coriander naan- No comments 7. Papadam platter- Honestly this was the only thing really liked. I forgot- Biryani sauce made with potato. That has gone bad. Should have served fresh or at-least shouldn’t have served at all. This was ordered for 6 people and most of the food wasted because of taste. You have such good reviews. Forget about taste , at-least maintain quality. I apologise to the delivery guy who delivered on time but to whom we couldn’t give any tip as we didn’t have any change. If I see you again, I will double the tip buddy. -PK

Really amazing food. Always fresh and tasty food. Would definitely recommend

Lovely atmosphere, nicely decorated restaurant, great service, but most importantly delicious food!! Here on a Monday night and quite busy. 3 courses for less than £14 and can bring your own alcoholic drinks. Would definitely return and happily recommend.

Amazing service. Food was amazing so fresh and tasty. Really speedy delivery too. Would definitely recommend

I asked for aloo puri and just got greasy bread, the food qas over an hour late when I enquiries why they sated because they was having a party! I ordered chicken curry and they done spinach curry with 4 pieces of chicken. The driver doesn't know where he's going as he has no sat navigation.. good was very cold and unbeatable never ordering from here again

Food quailty has gone down over the last few take aways. Jalfrezi was mostly onions and tasted grainy & bland , like it had been cooked in 30 seconds. Fast delivery but seems @ a cost.

Really lovely food. Everything was fresh and big portions. Would definitely recommend this place. Many thanks

Wow delicious food Better than the shop next door

Perfect! 10/10 5 * Delivered on time hot and just perfect! Thankyou

Fantastic choice on the menu. Food as good a curry as we have had. Lovely restaurant, great staff, a lovely experience. 100% recommended.

Excellent food, good quality and service
