Mother India in Birmingham

We have in the main had takeaways, delivery is fast (20-25 mins) The food is hot when it arrives and very tasty... we have chicken sag

I am all for modern western Indian restaurants but the food here is just not cutting it! All food tasted the same No flavour different from korma to balti Meet is not fresh! And a smile and laugh does not of along way. It seems as though they have got too comfortable and need a very good revamp and complete change of menu or chef

Great traditional Indian restaurant.

Food was decent, as was the service. Everything you’d want really in a BYOB Indian restaurant. They also very kindly gave me an umbrella when we were leaving as it was torrential rain outside. Would definitely return!

I had Hariyali main course signature dish, not too hot or spicy with boiled rice. My starter was a half jacket potato with filling then covered in cheese, a real delight. My husband had a Lamb Chop starter, there was plenty of meat, not too spicy. Main course was zNorth Indian Garlic Chilli with Pilau rise, very tasty with plenty of lamb. My main course was a large portion so I brought half of it home for lunch. Excellent value for money. If you are ordering a take away it is far better to phone your order through rather than go online. Friendly staff offering advice on dishes, very good service.

Great food, good service, we'll be back!!

Takeaway is excellent, lovely food decent proportions.highly recommended.

Lovely food, one of the best Asians spots in Birmingham along with the best service I’ve had in a while. Served with love.

This is the ultimate place to eat. The food, the service and the atmosphere is just first-rate

Been here before but service felt rushed. Food was rushed too lacked flavour chicken tikka masala . Was normal chicken not tikka . Shame

Went this evening for friend’s 60th. As usual staff were very welcoming, attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Food was outstanding. Love this place. Keep coming back.

Excellent food and services. Very friendly staff, well recommended 👌.

Service was good , but food was okay! Price was affordable. Overall same taste everywhere in boldmere road, been in few of them.

Superb post theatre curry in a relaxed and well managed restaurant. The curry is fresh - can really taste this. Tried their new Kong prawn dish and was really pleased I did. Mouth watering flavours and excellent service. Good serving time - not rushed so knew it was freshly prepared. Local shops serve the booze - a handful to choose from. Quite possibly the best curry house in Boldmere!

Always great food very accommodating to a large booking too. Highly recommended

Very nice meal, first time last night and didn't disappoint. Good value for money

Excellent food excellent service

Just had a fantastic chicken Madras with a plain naan. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly.

Ordered a take away as had some unexpected friends who had a dog so changed from dinning in to a take away. The food was great nice and hot, arrived on time and was just as good as eating in.

Had a meal on Tues evening it was amazing excellent service and value for money, if I lived nearer it would definitely be a local choice for us ,loved it

One of the best Indian dining. I told them to make the food desi style and they did just that. I had a white friend with me as well and he also loved it. Good service good food. Keep to the good work guys. 27 years of service apparently, I can see why!

First visit to this little gem of a restaurant. Can't praise it highly enough, wonderful food, lovely staff and great value for money. We will definitely be returning.

Really lovely food. If you like your curries a bit spicier, you need to ask when ordering. Service can be a bit slow if they are busy. It is not licenced, so you take your own alcohol. They do serve limited soft drinks. Recommended.

Excellent food on fixed price menu, would recommend

Great service, lovely food, lots of drink (our own) and amazing company. It was a really good night, highly recommended

Aah super, great food, staff ace

Good food good service fair price but no alcohol, take your own

Nice curry in the middle of the Boldmere balti belt.

Food was much better than before the pandemic. Will be going back again.

It was okay, nothing amazing, but my bias might have been it was a Sunday night and cold, wet and miserable and so of course the atmosphere may have been flat.

Love this place! Amazing value, delicious food, what’s not to love. The special offer is amazing vfm, byo too. Miles better than all the other pretentious nonsense on the high street. Keep up the good work 🙏🏽

Before sitting down we asked if they were still open to which they said yes. Food arrived but not the best balti I've had. The nann bread was thin and hard. Didn't even finish eating it when they took it away. They said they want to close and go home. Being girls we asked if we could call a taxi to which they said "no, go outside and phone for one. They took our money and then pushed us out. The worse service ever and not the best food.

Fantastic food, lovely service, will definitely come here again. Perfect meal out. Thank you.

Fantastic service and excellent food

The food here is always tasty, I'd advise you to go off piste and try something new

They don't give you king prawns!! I ordered a KP Biriani. Just as bland as most curry places. Surely it's illegal to state your selling king prawns and sell some other cheap fish. I think it might be Langustine? Most Asian curry places do this.. beware and ask for king prawns. Mac.

Starter brilliant but 3 people in group not Happy food so bland a dirty sock would have more taste

Nowhere near as good as it used to be. Poppadoms were fine as well as naan bread. Vegetable biryani was rather bland. A little kick but lacking in quality vegetables and zest. There's plenty of Indian restaurants near here, so the management need to up their game. You can bring your own drinks and parking available nearby depending on time of evening.

A very friendly welcome... a varied menu with good food at reasonable prices

I ordered from here. Went to collect. They didn’t do the order correctly. I ordered two curries and they gave us one out of the two curries that we ordered. Went back to collect after complaining on the phone. Me and my partner wasn’t at all happy theatres we had to go back to collect. When we went back to collect they gave us the wrong order when we left they phoned again and said to come back to collect another order. They gave us seaweed which we didn’t order and which was disgusting. We asked whether they can deliver the item that we delivered and they said there were no delivery drivers. The food we ordered was nice but we recommend not to order from mother India as we have wasted money. We wanted to order from here for date night as last time when we went here the staff and the food was decent and lovely but now we’re disappointed and we won’t be going back here again or ordering from them again. Also when we got the 1 out of 2 curry that we ordered the curry tasted disgusting. It tasted watery and not that nice. We are disappointed yet again of the service of this restaurant.

Really 👎 bad food taste like its out of a jar from asda the nan is soggy and doughy and tasty like a tea bag really not worth the money avoid at all cost save your money or go to a different one there lots on boldmere road

Foods ok but a little bland, usually hot currys like vindaloo are mild.

Fab food,service and value for money. Thank you x

Excellent service and fantastic food!

No.1 in Boldmere never had a bad meal

Bangin Vindaloo ... Every Dish Was Quality ...

Just been told £15 min for delivery but was offered a nan bread too make up the order too £15 I only live 1.1 miles away and my order was £12 something but I I have had food I there lots times real nice but rip off on delivery if for one person

Fabulous food, friendly staff, excellent value for money. I highly recommend you try.

There are plenty of Indian restaurants on this high street but this place so far has been the most consistent. Friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere. I'll be back, especially for the mid week offer.

First time going to this restaurant tonight, and can't wait to go back. Food was fantastic, really fresh and tasty, and staff were great - polite but also friendly.

Excellent service from Mo and the team made our Friday curry night better than I was expecting. The Delicious food was served when we were ready, we didn’t feel hurried at all.

Went to restaurant following recommendation from a friend. Staff seem friendly however, holding conversations in their own language. Is not always enough to hide what they are talking about. I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh for main meal. I have to say it didnt taste like Lamb and the following day I had an upset stomach. My friend ordered a steak but didn't enjoy the taste and left most of it. Although the restaurant was busy on the night. I will not be eating their again. There are better restaurants on the same street.

Great staff. Great food. Must Go back soon. Highly recommended 👍🙂😀😃

A fab night out, food was excellent portion size just right and prices not to bad

Good food,good service,friendly staff

Absolutely great place I have both eaten in this fine place and had takeaways both collected and delivered Absolutely mouth watering food 😋

Visited with family and enjoyed a beautiful spicy curry. Service was superb throughout and very relaxed. I really enjoyed the red cabbage in the pickle tray as it's something I've not come across before at other Indian restaurants.

Food was lovely. Friendly staff

Very nice food and good service. And very clean.

We came to The Belfry for a lads trip and ended up here. No alcohol licence but they don't mind you using the off licence opposite. The food was good and the price was very competitive.

Nice food. Service was excellent.

Excellent food great menu lovely staff well worth visiting

Always excellent food both dining in and taking away. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Fabulous food,very friendly staff,and fantastic value.

Always a warm welcome, excellent food, service. They are always busy so sometimes there is a wiat for food, good problem to have I say. Have had some mistakes with takeaways but they are always rectified with no issues. This is my 'go to' curry house and I highly recommend it.

Really good curry and excellent service

Great and delicious food. Good meal with helpful staff. Deal is good £12.95 for pomp sauce starter and main meal with rice or nan, coffee and mint..! 👍👍👍👍

Lovely food and helpful friendly service. Really nice atmosphere too

Two stars because the staff member was very polite and he did put a free side in the bag. Unfortunately the food was awful. The tandoori mixed grill was just paste with an unauthentic flavour. One main was like a homepride BBQ sauce dish and the other had an acceptable sauce flavour but the chicken tasted poor. Even the rice was slightly below average.

Always provides a great quality curry!

This is the second week we’ve had a takeaway from this restaurant and I’m very pleased to recommend them as the quality of our food was excellent and very good value for money

Always perfect & the service is second to none 😊

Ordered a take away on the phone and was told the order would take forty minutes to get delivered. The order took one hour and forty minutes to be delivered. Even after calling twice to check the order and being told “it will be there in a minute” it was still very late. Very disappointing to wait so long.

Best curry place ever , fantastic staff, amazing food always, never disappointed will always go back here

Excellent food, hospitality and value as always. Hope to be back soon.

Lovely food and service . Returning very soon

Me, my brother and son use this restaurant quite often as so do our friends. The food and the service we receive from the owner Mo and his team is always consistently great, highly recommended if your in the Boldmere or Sutton Coldfield looking somewhere to dine out.

The wife and I love a curry and this place never never disappoints, delicious!

Really nice place, great atmosphere to the place. The food is really good value for money too. I'll defo be back

We visited on the 50% deal it was very crowded we had to wait we did book at one stage about 20 people outside waiting The service. Very slow the were overwhelmed really brought lompadoms in about 15mins then it was about 30 mins before taking the order after that ran fairly quickly The food starter sheekh kebab was very good but the salad pretty poor and no sauce The main meal excellent couldnt fault it and. Tasty fresh naan pompadoms fresh and tasty too. So two courses and pompadoms for £15 for two people. Obviously normally wouldnt have been so busy worth a visit

Have been dining here for a few years now, after tonight would never return back here. They were very busy which I can appreciate, however staff were extremely rude, ignoring when I asked a question and just walked off, slamming down our food aggressively and clearing plates! We were all really shocked and felt very uncomfortable and unwelcomed. Restaurant was dirty, food all over the floor dirty glasses given to us. The menus have been replaced to paper menus however there were stains and even biro pen marks on the menu. No Covid precautions in place in terms of hygiene! Waiters standing very close to use and leaning across us ect. Food was cold and could not get any staff attention to ask for assistance, more cutlery or the bill!! Definitely not how to treat customers!! This was my first outing since lockdown and wanted to support our local restaurant however I wish I had stayed at home!

Food = 5 stars but Covid19 prevention measures just 1 star. We had a meal on the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. The food was excellent but the services extremely rushed. Poppadoms, starters, main courses and paid up in less than 45 minutes. Staff were not wearing masks or visors and I find it hard to believe that any tables had been taken out; we were very close to the next table. That said it gets 4 stars because the food was so good.

Amazing food lovely family feel from start to finish

been going to mother India for 20years about...fab food.lovely staff..had a take away tonite...it was yummy..and very Good fair price..id recommend it to anyone

First time I've tried food from here after recommendation on neightbour hood site. I would definitely recommend. Excellent food.

Just had our first Lockdown meal from Mother India. We normally eat at the restaurant but they are only catering for takeaways, the food was just as delicious and we really enjoyed it.I would recommend we all support our favourite restaurants in these hard times and thus is definitely ours.Please support Mo and his staff. When we can socialize we will be returning

I've been using Mother India for takeaways for over 10 years. Never had a bad meal and food is lovely & piping hot. I ring up and drive over and wait no more than 5/10 minutes for them to bring it out from the kitchen, while I sit and read the newspaper :-) Obviously, they are struggling without the restaurant income, so give them a try. They will also deliver but only have one driver.

The food is always amazing north chilli lamb yeah boi

Me and my partner have just eaten at Mother India. Its been a while since we've eaten here but the food was splendid and so so fresh. The cook is a credit to the restaurant. The service was impeccable and very attentive.I've read previous reviews on tripadvisor and I really find the reveiws so untrue. There was one reveiw stating the keema nan was red. I'm sorry but all keema nans are red as this is the colour of the mince meat cooked in spices.The staff are a credit to the restaurant.Our meal was cooked to purfection. I had the mother india special pathia which was beautiful. The meat was so tender and lots of it. My partner had the mother india balti and it was lovely and she ate every bit. We had a garlic nan to share which was lovely and fresh. Can't wait to return in the very near future. Many Thanks Mother India ⭐

Despite the nice food the staff were very rude, standing round huddled together talking about us, clearly didn’t want us there so late, instead of saying that they were closing they vacuumed under our chairs while we were still eating and then brought the huge mop bucket into the restaurant full of potent smelling disinfectant, not want you want to smell when eating - wouldn’t go again

Nice atmosphere but food a bit bland though.

Did not book table,but got one fairly quickly ,service really good ,food great ,got to bring your own drinks. Will go there again

Ordered a takeaway over the phone the man I spoke to was very rude and was huffing and puffing, i was asking for the prices of what i ordred and all he kept saying was we are very busy and started huffing and puffing again!when it came to talking payment he put down the phone so I had to call back up and spoke to someone else. Waited over an hour for food to arrive and my gosh it was vile it looked all sloppy and it had no taste what so ever! Keema naan! I have never seen anything like it!it had some red thing in side it and was very very dry!that is not a keema naan!think the chef needs to learn how to cook again!So I had to phone up and complain about the food i asked to speak to the manager apparently he was the one on the phone!anyway I explained and he said we are very busy this is the 1st complant we have had (obviously a lie!)and then put the phone down once again! rude I know! So called back again I said that was very rude why did you put the phone down and All he said once again was we are busy just bring the food back and then put the phone down again! NO customer service skills, NO Manners, No time for customer NEVER ORDERING FROM THERE AGAIN!I woudlnt even give a dog that vile food! Clearly you need the £41.00 i spent on your nasty food more the I do so keep it hopefully you would put it towards some course for your chef and staff to learn how to cook and learn so god damn Manners!!

Nice people good food order your food in or out very helpful, out with friends and family

Food took a little while to come. Some food was not very hot and spicy. I had assorted meat balti which was nice but prefer the chicken balti. Can take your own drinks. Very welcoming people.

Arrived to a very busy restaurant and waited 20 minutes to be seated. The staff were very apologetic and I could see they were doing their best but there was a queue waiting to be seated all the way to the door and if I had been at one of the table they were all standing next to I wouldn't have liked it. The wait for food wasn't too bad, considering, but the main course wasn't anything like what I was expecting and looked the same as my companions and he had ordered something entirely different. The premises are too small foe the number of people they had and the food and service suffered for it. It was a Saturday night but even so I wouldn't expect standards to be that much lowered because of it.

Great service, excellent food..highly recommend Sunday Special- 4 courses for £11 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️

This has just got to be one of the finest Indian restaurants in the UK .I am so glad we came here.The service was warm,friendly and efficient.The food was simply top notch.The price a very reasonable £70 between 4 people starters and mains for 4 plus 1 sweet.we bought our own drinks & the restaurant provided sparkling clean glasses for us to use.The restaurant is quite big and on the night we were there fully filled with many people.I cannot recommend mother India enough. And as we finished our meal we were given hot towels and a shot of brandy for the boys and Bailey's for the girls. One last thing we were there all night and never felt rushed to order we just sat and had a good chat then ordered food when we were ready which really made it a relaxed night out.

Always a good tasty meal Good friendly staff A varied menu plenty to choose from Always made to feel welcome Good quality

This was one of my favourite restaurants, and having not visited for 3 years I was looking forward to eating here again, and while I enjoyed the meal and the service was ok, it was not as good as it used to be. The guests I took were left wondering why I had recommended this place so highly.
