Purnima in Sandwell

Great food will definitely be ordering again

The food was outstanding again highly recommended this place

Delicious food and owner & son very respectful and polite. Thank you for a lovely service will be coming again very soon.

Amazing traditional food with fresh ingredients and style. The paneer is to die for. One of the best around

The best reastraunt owner and chef are absolutely lovely people it a joy to go and have a meal here food is excellent and cannot fault it steve and val😀

What a lovely reastraunt the owner was fantastic and his staff was lovely nothing was to much trouble look after us and the meal was fantastic will be going back again food was excellent

had my birthday there with family and friends last Saturday - 15 of us altogether. Food and service was top notch and we all had a great night. Slim and Rolly are top guys.

Food was amazing and really quick delivery too :)

Nice enough but a bit on the pricey side

Used for a while now it’s our go to curry house, however disappointed with the quality. Bhaji was flat, cold & tough. Pathia was one heat not how it usually is. Garlic naan cold and lacked the actual garlic. Such a shame as food is always usually hot & fresh. Rest of order just okay. Will not be rushing back sadly.

food was ok but delivery late for 25mins. Delivering on time outweigh ts the quality of food

Had a really nice meal with family at purnima this evening. Staff were friendly and food was lovely. Will definitely return.

Having ordered from this restaurant on a few occasions I am used to the quality of their food & for what i paid i thought i would receive a good standard of food. I was quite disappointed in the quality of the food I received this time as the poppadoms tasted like they were made from the day before, & mint sauce tasted watered down. Chicken & spinach balti lacked flavour and was also watery. On the whole for the price I paid very disappointing, not sure I would recommend!! 👎

Update 8/9/23 We decided to eat in the restaurant last night. The food was excellent. The food, service, atmosphere and attentiveness of staff was all 5*+ Toilets are clean and modern, as is the whole restaurant. I'd definitely recommend eating in. The menu is slightly different to the take away menu, but just as good if not better. Tried this place for a take away today. The food was hot and fresh. The service was first class. The establishment itself was modern clean and welcoming. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is free parking on the high street.

Another lovely meal at Purnima last night. Warmly welcomed by excellent staff who provided great service. Star of the show was the butter chicken but all meals are delicious. Highly recommended.

We’ve had such a lovely meal here tonight. Every bit of it was delicious- from the chutneys that accompanied the popadoms to the mains. Really flavoursome and fresh. Staff were friendly, service was excellent and they even double checked my food intolerances. Very good value overall.

Food is fantastic place is spotless and they treat u like family and it feels like home

Best curry in Bearwood! Paws down! 🐾

We were talking to someone we met on a walk in Edgbaston and said how disappointed we were with Indian restaurants in Birmingham, even the famous and expensive ones. We had not been to one for a while due to this. They recommended Purnima on Bearwood High street so we went last night. We were firstly amazed by the standard of the interior which is very high. The staff were all lovely and the owner was very professional yet friendly too. The menu size is just right so you know it is not all going to come out of the freezer. There is a good line list too and some unusual beers. The value for money here is extremely good. The food was exceptional. We had a fish mixed starter and a meat one to share which were wonderful then an excellent curry. It is obviously a place where people go back to regularly as everyone was friendly and the staff new them. This is sounding like one of the glowing reviews you can get on this site now and very suspiciously the reviewer only has 1 review posted, but you can see I do leave poor reviews too if honestly needed. Do go and see for yourself, we had a great evening.

I wasn't too bothered about the late delivery (25 mins) but the food was bland & missing ingredients. Very little spice. Tasted like it'd been rushed, not properly cooked. Just Eat sorted it. On a positive at least the poppadoms & nan were nice. But overall disappointed.

Absolutely spot on meal, loved everything about it. Definitely our new go too for Indian food

Paid a premium price expecting premium food... the case onion baji were flat small stale and cold. The chips were stale and cold. Paid extra for the extra hot vindaloo....mild compared to what I ordered. Never again would buy from here and would suggest other people to avoid

Great food great atmosphere great service highly recommend!!! Staff very attentive, fairly priced :) will be returning

Beautiful place wonderful food, staff are very friendly. Will definitely be coming back. Wheel chair accessible parking on local side rd not a far walk.

Don't need to put a comment. The food and staff speak for it's self ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My food was lovely and fresh. thank you.

Thank you for a wonderful meal this evening. The food was absolutely fabulous, the star of the show was the lamb achari - aromatic and smokey with amazingly tender lamb. The staff were friendly as always and really looked after our family and were great with the children. The quality of the cuisine has been impressively consistent over the years. We are extremely lucky to have this restaurant on our doorstep!

Great food and friendly service, as always. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic family meal celebrating our daughter's birthday today. The food was delicious. The restaurant is contemporary in style, warm and welcoming. High quality food at a brilliant price. Highly recommended.

I was visiting the area for a couple of days and went to this restaurant, Alim and his staff made me feel most welcome and i had the most amazing meal, the portion size was just right and the dishes were very authentic with a slight modern twist without being over spicy, i highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly visit again if ever im in the area again

Iv just had a delivery from hear it cost me £33 I didn't get much for my money and was cold when it came there was not much flavour aswell don't think I will order again

Well where do I start? This place is our local and definitely deserves so be praised as the best curry we have ever experienced. What a taste sensation! Staff always friendly, greeted by a lovely young lady with a genuine smile and warm welcome. My dad and I decided to take away tonight and both agree this review had to be made. We would highly recommend this place if you want a memorable experience and quality food. Thank you once again 🙏

Take out - forgot how amazing this place is! Fantastic food and great service - thank you Purim’s!

Very nice interior/dining area .comfortable seating .food was mediocre but we still enjoyed the meal .lambchop st was tender and juicy full of flavour but the mains were average,service was slow to start with having to asking for menus and drinks order ,but once had placed the order everything seemed to fall in to place .free parking available after 6pm .overall good restaurant .

Nice food ,very small portions Compered to similar restaurants in the area that charge the same price ,charged £3.50 for a bottle of stilled water ,straight out the tap I suspect ,as the lid was not sealed ,still water is free in other restaurants

Took my husband and father for a meal at Purima we were looked after very well the food, atmosphere and staff were amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant

Forgot half of the order. Didn’t include the Peroni or the Poppadoms we ordered :-/

Amazing food beautifully cooked and served. Service is exceptional.

My Italian partner and I brought a couple of Italian boys here for their first experience of Indian food. Not only did they like everything, but even I was impressed by the quality of the food, the decor, and the atmosphere. It took some time for the food to be served, but it was well worth the wait. We shared a selection of starters, all excellent, as well as three main courses. The balti and the mixed grill tandoori were superb. The reasonably-priced wine accompanied the food well. The coffee received an Italian's seal of approval, and the brandy in a warmed glass was a perfect end to the meal for me.

We have had food delivered to our home from here many times and the food is great quality. This is the first time we have visited and eaten at this restaurant and we will be going back soon. The food is top quality, the service is prompt, the atmosphere is comfortable & relaxed and the staff are friendly 👍🏻

Really quick delivery, food was delicious. Highly recommended

Food was low quality for the price. Didn’t receive the free beer as part of the promotion.

Easily the best curry in the area, so grateful to have this restaurant on our doorstep. Customer Service is top class - staff are so generous. And the interior is spot on. Thanks Purnima for another great meal (and delicious tasters of things we hadn't tried before too - indochinese paneer was amazing!)

The food was amazing. The owner gave us a discount and even added something we did not order free of charge. Overall, the experience, staff and atmosphere was great.

On the day we moved in nearby we had a delicious meal here. The service was excellent and friendly. We'll be back soon!

The food and service were excellent. It's just a bit cold. In fairness, they brought me a warm plate to put on my knee, which acted like an electric blanket . I'd advise you to eat there, but wear warm clothes

Absolutely amazing food! Even the sauces with the poppadoms was just another level! A real find. Recommend a chicken balti with additional keema!

Fantastic food and experience - pescatarian and veggie - highly recommend whether you are local or visiting.

Quick delivery & excellent food would recommend Purnima.

Great place, delicious food, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Love it 😍

Visited this restaurant and it was one of the most wonderful dining experiences I’ve had in Birmingham. A special thanks to the staff who made the fish curry a bit milder for me, it was one of the best Indian dishes I’ve ever had! Not to mention the peshwari naan, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat another naan at any other Indian restaurant again, they just won’t be able to compare. If you’re thinking of which Indian restaurant to go to in Birmingham, take this review as a sign to go here!

We've been coming here for years. The food has always been fantastic and the service friendly and efficient.

Absolutely stunning. Haven’t been for a while and had forgotten how good this restaurant is. Excellent service and excellent food. Really worth a visit…..great value too.

A family meal at Purina was a great success. The food is amazing. Really beautifully presented and excellent service. Highly recommended

Really lovely family meal at Purina. Excellent food, beautifully presented and excellent service. One of our party was a tired three year old and the staff dealt with him very well. Thanks, highly recommended.

Great curry, will definitely be ordering from them again.

Loved the food. Chilli paneer was superb. Will order again.

Fantastic flavours, a regular go to if we're dining in there.

Incorrect order to start with then when actual order arrived no free gift

Absolutely fantastic evening, food and staff were second to none, we travelled about 1 1/4hrs but will gladly make the trip again soon. thoroughly recommended.

My all time favourite indian restaurant !

Absolutely AMAZING food and the most wonderful staff! Will definitely be going back there for a second time.

The food was very delicious and their srrvice was also good. I would like to give thanks to Chef and staffs of the cuisin.

New favourite curry house, hands down. Phenomenal food start to finish, professional and friendly service, and a perfect atmosphere, and very reasonably priced. If there were a sixth star they'd get it!

Absolutely amazing dinner tonight. Fresh and flavoursome food. Great service. Definitely a high end restaurant worth revisiting.

This place is amazing! we were lucky enough to be taken there whilst visiting my cousins, the service was absolutely on point rolli served us his knowledge of the wine and food was excellent and he recommended exactly what we all wanted considering we are all quite picky the food we got was perfect!! I highly recommend the chilli chicken starter, chicken archari(hope I spelt it right one of their house specials)main ,chicken tikka masala main and the chilli cheese keema garlic naan😍 also my wife loved the shiraz and the Malbec was very smooth if we lived in the area we’d be in there constantly, also really good value for money for such a fantastic experience really really good. Thank you rolli

Lamb korai and alleppey fish! Our regular dish every Friday Night. Well balanced and nicely flavoured. Polite service and friendly staff. Alim always very helpful. Thank you!

Absolutely the best..delicately precise

Very good food and fast delivery.

Poor service waited long long time for the food i will never Visit here anymore food was filthy test less and Shame less stuff keep asking for reviews

Absolutely top class. Food was packed with flavour and service was exceptional. Excellent. Will be back soon!

I took my 9yr old son for a meal yesterday, firstly it was great to see Roly back, both the food and service were great. My son loved his lamb chops and my garlic chilli chicken was lovely. We'll definitely be back...

Love their food. Always happy with order never once have I been disappointed. My brother came to visit from America and complimented the owner several times. Says it was the best curry he has every had. Hats off to the chef and staff always a pleasure

Popped in tonight for a balti and a few cobras. Not been in for a few years and was welcomed by Roly who is back and the warmth of welcome and food was top notch! Will be back sooner than 4 yrs!

Best food ever. Excellent service. Had the best chicken curry. Excellent service. Great vibe. Lovely staff and really good chef

Excellent service The food was excellent Just come and see the difference Good Service hard to find but not at Purnima Worth a visit

Food good but small portions ,in comparison with the high prices. Waiters were good, service was quick. Only thing we felt the owner was a bit pushy. At the end of the meal he insisted to bring over a shot of something, - unfortunately not the best limoncello- and it wasn't really clear if he wanted us to pay or not, but eventually he offered that to us, which was nice.

On a recent visit to Birmingham for a show at the NEC stopped in Edgbaston and had the delight to enjoy a fantastic meal at this Indian restaurant. The staff in particular were very welcoming and friendly, and a lot of customers appeared to be returning locals which is always a good sign. A great and varied menu and a very well presented meal. Although we are not from Birmingham we were treated like regulars. Well done to the staff and we will see you again.

Easily the best Butter Chicken I have ever tasted! I can never usually finish a curry but I couldn't stop eating this. The staff are excellent & really friendly without being in your face. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I just wish I lived closer so that I could go more often.

Food was excellant, good value for money, service and friendliness of staff perfect, will be eating here again soon

That might be the best curry i’ve had! Chicken and lamb keema balti was out of this world. The service is also superb, friendly but professional at the same time. You will be looking forward to your next visit as soon as youre finished!

I have got no complaints about the service but the food was not so tasty and it was not as I expected.

This restaurant never fails to disappoint. I went yesterday with my partner and had the best food we've eaten for months. We started with fish pakoras and the mixed chicken trio, both were perfectly cooked, tender and bursting with flavour. Mains were lamb karahi and the railway lamb, with the usual pilau rice and garlic & coriander naan. The balance and depth of flavours were exceptional, which really sets this place apart from the local competition (which is strong and plentiful), as does the service; we were served by a guy (the owner i think) who is a character to say the least! His knowledge of the food, wine and industry is amazing and has got many stories to tell which are hilarious! I'd give the food 9.5 out of 10 but even if it was lower, the friendly, professional and welcoming service, make Purnima a must place to visit. It's so much more than 'popping out for a curry'. As good as it gets. That's high praise from a curry addict from Birmingham, the curry capital.

Extraordinary Restaurant to say the least. Went for a nice meal with my father a few days ago, it was nippy outside but upon entering Purnima we were embraced with a warm welcome. And no I'm not talking about the heating, the staff were very friendly from the get go making sure we were okay from the second we walked in to the moment we left. The atmosphere was uplift and everyone inside had a smile on their face, as well as the cleanliness and interior decor being second to none. You could tell the food was going to be ace... We opted for the Lamb Karahi and Tarka daal for our main course, one of if not the best Lamb Karahi and daal I've had. Honestly words cannot to this place just from the food as well as the level of hospitality. Would definitely recommend to those in the area and even if you are not it's worth traveling too. Special thank you to all the staff in Purnima for proving myself and my father an excellent service.

Great food really flavoursome. Pristine restaurant well worth a visit carnt wait to go again

Great food, great service. A real treat!

Fine food, not too spicy. super hosts! Tnx

Excellent service upon arrival right through to finish. Good quality food at reasonable price would come again and definitely recommend.

Food and service was amazing as always, all our requests are perfectly carered for. This is my favourite Indian restaurant.

An evening of fine dining with service to match. Everything from the warm and welcoming staff through to the delivery of the food and drinks. 10/10 and highly recommend for either business or pleasure! Bringing the wife next week for our Anniversary.

I’ve eaten at many places which offer Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi food but wow….this was amazing.The food was so fresh, so well flavoured and every part of it, from starter to finish was delicious.Add onto that, personal, warm yet quietly professional service, well finished decor and can’t ignore the great toilets(😊), it won’t be long before this place will need early reservations.

Really nice place. Best Indian restaurant I have been in Birmingham. The service was five stars!

Had an amazing meal there recently, couldn’t fault it, also the service the cleanliness the space the temperature the decor. Worth a special journey

This is an amazing restaurant with absolutely first class ambiance first class service and first class food and all very reasonably priced. I can’t believe that I must have walked past this venue at the top of Bearwood high street without knowing the hidden gem that was hidden in plain sight I highly recommend this restaurant

excellent food and service. very friendly.

I’m not interested in reviews, just want to order again. Where’s the option? Do Uber have one? Don’t do this again or I’m off

Very very Good restaurant in centre 'Madrid. Authentic Indian cuisine food really nice.☆☆☆☆☆ service is extraordinary.fast and attractive i will come back definitely very soon chees nan and Lamb disches so yummy ' prawn Tandoori so nice'❤ very beautiful decorated restaurant. Everything in the restaurant looks lovely 😍. 100% RECOMMENDED

Amazingly tasty food, all still hot. We bought several "standard" curry house dishes but all seemed freshly cooked, fresh quality ingredients and a unique twist to each dish, we're going to have to visit the restaurant now 😋

We have been in Purnima twice already in less than a month, fairly priced and excellent food! (Great service btw)
