I am originally from Birmingham by Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane, Moseley Road where the streets are lined with great curry houses and it has taken me years to find a decent place like this, which is clean, has helpful friendly staff and who know how to cook great curries... I took my daughter and her partner here for a curry we had poppadoms, starters, we all have very different tastes as to what we like and yet everyone of us was very happy with our main course. If you love a hot curry I would recommend the Naga chicken ask for a slice of lemon to squeeze over it as it helps,or if you prefer a milder curry try the chicken pathia ,all tasted amazing just like a good curry should. I enjoyed it so much that I went back the following week with a friend and we too both enjoyed great service and great food, very happy customers

I used to be a regular at the Saleem Bagh and always enjoyed the food but, after moving away, it had been a few years since my last visit. When the opportunity arose to arrange a night out in Cannock for a group of friends the Saleem Bagh immediately came to mind. I booked by telephone a few days in advance but when we arrived on a Thursday night they had no record of the booking, fortunately they were fairly empty and could accommodate a table for 9 people but it would have been very annoying otherwise. Drinks orders were taken straight away, mainly for Cobra, and they were promptly delivered. After a short gap to give us a chance to look at the menu we ordered our meals - poppadoms with accompaniments, starters and main courses. The starters were all tasty, good quality and generous helpings. The main courses were to the same standard as I remembered - my chicken tikka jalfrezi with a plain naan bread was delicious, just the right amount of spice and well cooked chicken. Prices don't seem to have gone up as much as I expected and the food was really good value. I'll not leave it as long before I return again.

A great find for pre theatre dining! What amazing food - I have complex intolerances meaning I cannot have lactose, garlic nor onion (amongst others) which is hard with indian cuisine (also my favourite) A phone call to the restaurant beforehand offered assurance I could be catered for and what a superb job they did! I was advised exactly which dishes could be adapted and was not limited to the usual one or two which was a refreshing change from pub grub where all too often the only dish on offer is gammon, egg & chips as no adaptations can be made to others! Attentive, friendly staff & great value for money. Very convenient for our pre theatre meal too. Will definitely be back! I had chicken shashlick, salad, sag aloo all freshly prepared without onion or garlic

Food was bland not much meat, not tasty, meat was gristle!!! I won't be coming here again cheap food and one of the waiters had an attitude.. He needs to learn some manners, you don't speak to customers like that. No wonder this restaurants empty and they have to put on 2-4-1 offers!!! I for one won't be coming here again, sad really as the first time we came it was nice... Vegetarian options The vegetarian option was rather expensive a Aloo potato curry cost £8.50

Chicken channa balti equally as good with good sized naan. Poppadoms. 2 meals. 2 rice and 1 naan plus 2 cokes £40. No complaints tasted good and good portions.

When sent back the same ones returned a few minutes later warmed and still soft. Everyone's meals lukewarm with one guests curry not arriving until majority of our party had finished their meals. And, when it did the prawns had not been cooked. Meal was sent away. Staff could not care less. Everyone's meals were lukewarm

The restaurant was cold and it was -6 degrees outside, ordered our food, order didn’t come together, even though the waiter stood and wrote it all down we still had to tell him what was missing, the food portions are tiny for the price they charge, the rice is the size of an egg cup. I wouldn’t come back again, the food didn’t even fill half the plate when we dished it up, very disappointing, staff are friendly and helpful but food is expensive and certainly not value for money.

Been a regular eat in and delivered customer for 30+ years and today they took my money and did not deliver. I called in after 1hr 20 mins and was told the food was out for delivery but 25 mins later nothing so I called back and it had not even left so they now need another 20 mins making it over 2 hrs if it comes! If you are too busy then just tell us and we can go somewhere else but greed has got the better of them and they have now lost a loyal customer of 30 years who eats there at least a couple of times every month A real shame that a once great restaurant has come to this but we will never eat from here again Be warned!

We have been coming to this restaurant for 18plus years but last night was disappointed. The 2 for 1 offer seems to mean a reduction in quality. Poppadoms seemed stale and chewy not crisp. My main a chicken dhansak had 4 pieces of small chicken and 5 pieces of pineapple. Worst thing was the amount of flies in the restaurant, they kept landing on us and the food. Service and staff is always excellent but sadly the rest let us down.

Food was okay, flies everywhere which was disgusting, my girlfriend found a hair in her food and when we mentioned it, the server just said it wasn’t him.. not helpful at all. Soft drink was flat, asked for a replacement which was also flat, only to discover they just pour the drinks out of a 2L bottle which inevitably goes flat over time. Will never go back.

Had i wanted it 45 mins early i would have ordered it for then. No complimentary poppadums- i think for a £40 order you could have thrown in a few like every other indian takeaway service. Just seemed mean. Plastic containers. So the food delivered earlier than ordered went cold. We couldn’t keep it warm. Also - why are you adding to the use of plastics? We used to love to eat in the restaurant but the takeaway has disappointed us i’m afraid.

The food was good and the delivery person was well presented and polite. However, the order was 40/45 minutes late and we were not informed of the delay until we contacted them via JustEat to find out where our order was. This is poor customer service; we would have liked to know how long the delay was and then some kind of suggestion of a discount or similar by way of apology for the delay. The delivery person did apologise and said he'd speak to the manager so we'll see if they get in touch. We did not eat in the restaurant.

We have travelled from solihull to an amazing welcome from all staff and ray couldn’t do enough for us. I used to live in hednesford so I have been here before but my expectations were exceeded. You need to ask for the special curry’s which are not on the menu absolutely amazing flavours and spices. My partner just likes the butter chicken and even that was the best they have ever had. Off the back of my visit I have booked a table of 15 for my son’s 18th. I am not just saying it but really you do need to visit here. I have been to many Indian restaurants across the country and this is absolutely the best one I have been to which beats the 3 rooms near Thorpe park. Enjoy you will not be disappointed
