Shere Khan in Birmingham

Once a great place, now mediocre. Been eating here for decades, but the quality of the food has really gone down, the place is dirty, and in need of refurbishment. Today, ordered a chicken Jalfrezi, the taste was Ok, but it had no chillies, and hardly any chicken, the dish was full of gravey. Also ordered the Chicken Tikka Biryani, the taste was lacking, no biryani fragrance or taste, and tikka used had no flavour. The Garlic Nan was nice. It’s about time they cleaned the place, refurb the furnishings, and go back to improving the dishes.

Feeling very generous with ratings as we visited for my mum's birthday. Food came out hot and was very tasty, although quite spicy for things like the onion Pakora when it didn't need to be. Service was excellent, didn't catch his name but he was consistently checking on us and got us everything we needed. Whilst they made an effort and food was enjoyable, atmosphere could be better, bit louder music etc. The general restaurant is tired looking, wallpaper peeling off walls, tables scratched (could use tablecloths?), seating in entrance is ripped and general seating inside is poor and old. The toilets was the main disaster, they were absolutely awful. Clearly customers there can't use the female toilets properly but staff should be checking them regularly. Two cubicles were out of order but only one toilet was usable, others were filthy. Taps and sinks were tatty. Poor service considering we paid nearly £100 for the total bill. Hope it gets sorted because we probably won't go back.

Lamb chops and afghani murgh tikka to die for!

We didn’t like the food at all We had chicken butter mutton sag and haleem none of the dishes taste was good , starters paneer pakora and mini burger only paneer eatable rest was sorry for the word but ( horrible) we paid 80£ but the food was not worth it at all . Service is very professional and helpful big like for the all team Decoration tables places everything was nice Hygiene not that good we had two glasses dirty with lipsticks 😒 Overall not good experience

Nice karahis and mixed grills. Meat kebabs a bit dry

Food is good as always, needs a revamp though

"The food was mostly okay. The karahi gosht was too mild, like it was made for kids, and had too much tomato sauce. Lamb chops were tasty, garlic naan was fine, but the cheese naan was disappointing."

Went for family meal and found hair in my curry, instead of apologising they tried to make excuses - not impressed.

The best Indian I have had for a very long time. The whole experience was spot on. Well done.

There were four if us out for a family meal and we chose to go to Shere Khans in Birmingham. The restaurant has a great ambience, the staff were so polite and the food was outstanding. We all agreed that it was the best meal we had eaten in a long time. We were served by a waiter called Usman who was a credit to the restaurant.

Night out with the old fella. Food was disappointing, what passed as butter chicken was watered down tomato soup. Will not be coming back!!

Was so looking forward to tonight, but was spoilt by how horrible the butter chicken tasted. It was as if a can of tomato soup was poured all over the chicken. Definitely a let down and will not come here again. Very disappointed. Management had no interest at all.

Absolutely shocking! 😳 food was bland but extremely spicy., despite asking for it to be extra mild. They brought us cold yogurt to mix in: resulting in cold food that now just tasted like yogurt. We didn’t eat any of it.:. So when the bill came I asked if they could take anything off at all after not being able to eat it: The manager shouted at the girl for not offering a new order. And then took a mere 10% off the bill. Utter disgrace for customer service: Vomited the few mouth fulls I did eat. Never again … very dissatisfied

Our favourite restaurant Shere khan.malik Adil rahman he was the service provider he served professionally with great presentation and food was really Good

Overcharged me for my meal. I paid £45 when it should of been £23. Manager never cared when I called. Food was terrible too and sub standard. Surprised I don't get food poisoned. Should be on Rip off Britain!!!

all items on the order were cold.

Great service, Usman in particular paid particular attention to detail. Wonderful dining experience, thanks Usman!

malik Adil Rehman he was the service provider and he treated with proficiency and great respect.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shere Khan Restaurant, and I must say, the experience was elevated significantly thanks to the outstanding service provided by Mr. Malik Adil Rehman. Mr. Adil Rehman greeted us with a warm smile and his knowledge of the menu was impressive. The food itself was exceptional (lamb chops, karahi, BBQ & dessert). The flavors were authentic, and each dish was prepared to perfection. Mr. Rehman made sure to check in with us frequently, ensuring that everything was to our satisfaction. His attention to detail, from the presentation of the food to the pacing of the meal, exemplified excellent service. I look forward to my next visit!

The food was great. Outstanding service from the waiter named UTTAM. We visit regularly and he always goes above and beyond.

We've been dining at Shere Khan's for nearly 15 years, enjoying their authentic Pakistani, Bengali, and Indian cuisine. Without a doubt, it's the best food in the region. *Lamb chops! The service, especially from our waiter Uttam, has always been exceptional. No matter how busy it gets, Uttam consistently makes sure we are well taken care of. Thank you, Uttam, for the outstanding service, and Shere Khan's for the fantastic food!

It was really a good experience with food environment and money spending. Loved the place and taste of food. Everything was delicious and properly cooked with different spices and tastes. The staff was very efficient and quick. "Malik Adil Rehman" on service took the order and served everything efficiently with good manners and presentation. Comfortable sitting, desi tarka food and supportive staff. Everything was perfect 👌 Would love to go again and again

Prices of food are too higher side compared to other similar restaurants. We had lunch and dinner there but it was too expensive every time

The best chops possibly in the country!. Period!

Food nothing special Normal curry house Service ok Over priced

Food was amazing, lamb chops were chewy but the flavours were amazing! Service was quick however didn’t like the fact a waitress was staring at us most of the time we were there, which was a bit creepy and uncomfortable so couldn’t enjoy the meal thoroughly.

Use to be good ..never again . Main not great .starter was ok

Good food, good service Overall good experience

I visited Shere Khan at Star City in Birmingham with my friends and my family with my toddler. The food was a mixed bag—the lamb karahi was very good, and the lamb chops were tasty, but the butter chicken tasted more like chicken in tomato sauce. They had food options for children which my little one enjoyed. They also provided a high chair. The atmosphere was a bit dark and gloomy, which wasn't very inviting. We also noticed that the cutlery wasn't cleaned properly, but the waiters were kind enough to promptly provide us with clean ones when we asked. Overall, it was an okay experience, but there’s room for improvement.

Only platter was tasty was not happy with remaining foods we ate.

a bit loud curries need less oil charged us for drinks we didnt order but the flavours were bomb esl the chops omg

The main course dishes were not good and had no taste. The whole dining experience was a complete waste of time and money. Won't visit them again.

Nice food ..ordered lamb karai..meat was nice and soft..chaat was lovely and tangy ..and fries for the kids..friendly waiters

Very nice food! Polite and friendly staff. A nice atmosphere and reasonable prices. Can definitely recommend this place. Ordered fish pakora, vegetarian pakora, chicken tikka, butter chicken, chicken biriyani.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable visit to the restaurant. The establishment was impeccably clean and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. Tika, the gentleman who attended to us, was exceptionally polite and accommodating, significantly enhancing our experience. The food was superb, particularly the peshwari naan, which was the finest I have ever tasted. I look forward to returning in the future.

Exceptional quality as always very happy

Needs cleaning, sticky tables and needs a update, food is just about acceptable.

Old time favourite every we want to watch movie we always have dinner on this restaurant.love the food.

We hadn't visited in a while but it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious as always.

The place was dim, dirty, with dust all over the chandeliers and sticky, unpleasant tables. I specifically requested that the food be made very mild, but it came out extra spicy. The quality of the meat and chicken was poor, likely mixed with leftovers from the previous night. While the staff were polite, the overall experience was disappointing. We won’t be coming back.

Worst ever eating experience,,,,be careful all tandoori dishes are pre made,,,,,,I ordered mixed grill it was on my table in less than ten minutes SERVED COLD BARBECUE

the food was good however the delivery driver that delivered the food was really rude

First thing first the food here was 10/10 delicious, really filling and good portions, the menu needs upgrading as half of the items weren’t available. The restaurant was so dark inside it felt like you were in a different country, the tables were sticky and half cleaned. The service was terrible the guy was rude and pushy, he also got our order wrong twice, like make it make sense. Overall, 20 minutes late if busy / Food was great / service was terrible / total made sense / don’t go when it’s hot outside as they have no Air Con unless you like to sweat and eat!

We ordered a takeaway £90 in total it was cold and not nice and very very greasy would I go here again no. Normally use tipu Moseley but this was nearer.

We went to Shere Khan in a big group of 37 people without any reservations. We were not expecting much considering that we had not pre-booked and it was almost 10:00pm (their kitchen closes at 10:30pm. However it was a great relief that they could accommodate our big group on such short notice and were very helpful with processing our huge order quickly. We tried their combo platter with chips, maghaz, chickens karahi, daal and kerala gosh along with salad and mango lassi. We were very impressed with how quick their service was. The food came promptly and it was all freshly prepared and very tasty. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we had no issues at all with our order. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going back again.

I have been coming here for nearly 20 years and it is one of the best restaurants when they get it right ✅️. It's conveniently located in Star City in Nechells, Brum. I have seen many staff come and go. I have met the owner on several occasions, and when I have the managers, they suddenly become more attentive, which is amusing. Saj was one the best managers, but he moved to pastures new. However, despite the shortcomings, it is still a lovely place to dine, especially with one's family. We love the peri chicken, lamb biryani, mutton chops with mint sauce, karahi with plain naan. The chutney trays are nice too. The prices, although, higher than they used to be, are still reasonable compares with others. The toilets can do with more attention as it lets it down somewhat. I love sitting in one of the 6 booths. The desserts are slightly above average. I do like the old school classic, cornflake tart with custard. When they get everything right it is simply the best! When they get it wrong they don't want to admit there is a problem. Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to all!

I ordered a pick up take away to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. However the way the take away was packed that when my other daughter picked up the box, it left oil marks on her clothing because the take away rubs were not sealed correctly. My daughter had oil marks on her jacket, jeans and jacket.

Coming here since 2012. Still same, brilliant service and great food.

Worst place to visit. The staff took the wrong order at our table. My husband, being a nice and polite person, started eating the food. Then a staff member returned to say, “This is not your order,” and grabbed the plate off the table while my husband was holding his spoon. Not only that, but he also rolled his eyes so far up that if he had stayed in that pose for another minute, I was afraid his eyes would never come down.

Great curry house, no fuss, basic but food good, lamb chops are tasty, mains good but i dint like the rice it tastes like microwaved rather than freshly made, otherwise staff offer good service, would return again

Went for a meal with my friend, the staff was professional and engaging and had a genuine interest in learning different cultures.

Never Ever disappoints, neighbouring restaurants always have a queue but this is very underrated, quality food and very distinct flavour in all different things we ordered, highly recommend if u haven't tried it already

It's OK 👌 visit and then you can do it again

I visited Shere Khan Star City with my family to celebrate with an Eid dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. As you can see from the picture, the achari boneless lamb was full of excess amounts of fat, which was hugely disappointing. I found myself grappling with stripping away numerous pieces of fat, which significantly marred the dining experience. When I fed this back to the manager, he dismissed my concerns, stating it was only two pieces of meat and that I should have raised the issue earlier. His response was unhelpful and he was indifferent to the matter. Considering it was a special day for us, his lack of sympathy and refusal to address the problem was deeply frustrating. Even when the waitress approached him again to see if he could speak with us, he refused, and we were charged in full for the meal. A word of warning to potential diners: PLEASE INSPECT THE QUALITY OF MEAT BEFORE CONSUMPTION. This was such a disappointing experience after a wonderful Eid day, and I hope no other family has to go through the same. Overall, Shere Khan failed to meet the standards one would expect, especially on such a special occasion. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a better dining experience.

First time visiting with family, very good experience. Polite staff and served very quickly. Price fore food are reasonable. Ahtisham the waiter was very helpful, will definitely visit again.

Deliver driver never showed up with my food

Shere Khan's Star City......... more like Tiger King's Shigellosis Factory, where food is prepared with Shigella dysenteriae or bad strains of E. Coli bacteria relaxing in it. Some of the food and drink seemed enjoyable taste-wise but as soon as I finished my meal, I rapidly felt very ill at the table, getting dizzy, drowsy and nauseated. It must be that lamb briyani that one of my pals said had a questionable taste and disagreeable smell but it also looked like the staff added a lot of spices to try and cover those up. I only tried a tiny portion of the briyani, about 1/4 of a spoon. But my body's immunity reacted adversely to the point where I was bound to throw up over the table. Had to scarper to the Shere Khan Star's lavatory, to vomit a bit of saliva in the toilet to try and clear the sickness caused by that bad lamb briyani. About ten hours later, I started experiencing, repeated, gut-wrenching discomfort in my abdomen as aùwas coming back down the Welsh mountains, followed by a nasty earthquake in men's toilets in the car park facility. Then at around midnight when me and the lads were in a different restaurant in Manchester, the horrible remains of that rotten lamb briyani caused two aftershocks of dysentery accompanied with more gastrointestinal discomfort. The bad bacteria from the lamb briyani interrupted my meal twice with two more secret trips to the loo. I sure won't be eating in Shere Khan's Star City again. Seems like the kitchen staff want their customers to eat "past the use-by-date", old, stale food with Shigella bacteria playing "hide and seek" in the spices so that we can have a gut-wrenching diarrhoea experience. I also suspect there was cross-contamination with how they store the lamb, i.e. cooked lamb together with rotten raw lamb where germs spread from, hence the foul smell of lamb briyani. At least the drinks and chapatti were good and delivered satisfactorily.

Great service. Staff were friendly and food was top notch. Couldn't fault the place at all. 5 star easy

Lamb chops are the best here!! Love their curries too

Good restaurant. But too noisy and always busy. Food is not great. People who serve are really good.

Very very bad experience Totally waste of money I ordered one portion of chicken karahi in which I got one bone One wing And one peice of meat And bowl full of tasteless (granded onion and tomato) gravy So yukkky food sorry to say Manager is so rude

Our lamb byrani was off. Sent it back but the manager came out and said the byrani was fine but if we want he will change it. Apparently its the spices they use. This was untrue as we had an executive Chef with us, who had to explain to the manager why it's off. They changed the byrani and didn't charge us but the fact that the manager could misslead us like that means they have done it before. Not nice

Would give zero stars. Stay away unless you want food poisoning. Biryani was off, had bad small, tasted off. Told the waiter who told chef. Chef didn't even try it and sent waiter back. Told the waiter to try it which he didn't. I only had half a spoonful. Next had had major upset stomach and you can imagine what happened next.

The food was well cooked. I enjoyed the butter naan with the mix shere khan grilled platter. The butter chicken handi was beautifully made. They have praying area as well mashallah. My only issue was that the restaurant was a bit 🥵. So if they sorted out the temperature control it would be a 5 star experience. The waitress was very attentive and professional.

The food here is really nice. The service is carried out quickly, efficiently and with care- from entering to giving your order, recieving your food and paying the bill. Have been here a number of times and always been impressed. The lamb chops and achari gohst are particularly nice

Krismah who served us, was very attentive and the service she provided was amazing! Foods good as always

Ordered there samosa chaat in starters and it was really good. The best I’ve had in a long time! Also ordered bhunna, and if you’re visiting this place for the first time and are not sure, order the bhuna! It tastes amazing, it’s very flavourful. Their nans were very soft and fresh. A very lovely place! The waiters and staff are amazing, be sure to leave them a nice tip. ❤️

Very poor service 😢 with low quality of food Lot of items were out of stock waited more than 1 hour no one bother to tell us that we don't have full range of our meals very disappointed 😞

Ordered panner makhni main dishes and its taste is sour instead of sweet and spicy Horrible Saturday dinner out in

Pakoras were really cold and hard. I think they'd been made the day before. Don't offer a delivery service if you're going to compromise on food quality.

And amazing place for an afternoon lunch the food was great and the service was fantastic always a member of staff available catering to all our need needs

Food quality has gone down a lot in recent years. We had butter chicken it had way too much tomato in it. And generally my whole family that were there said food was not good

Very thankful ND beautiful place

Lovely food. The lamb chops were juicy and a good size. Curry and sides were really tasty.

Very disappointing, the food did not taste nice, I have made tastier chaat at home. The mocktails tasted like cheap juice out of a carton. To top it off the staff seemed very confused and did not provide good service. Massive let down.

Service is way too bad!! Waiters don't have any damn clue how to talk to the customers!!!

Had iftar there, good food taste and quality Really enjoyed. It was a bit expensive, though

if you don't have the food ordered, cancel the order instead of replacing it with something else and wasting my time, not ordering from here again

False advertisement, they do not take bookings. I reserved a table but they said they do not accept it, sorry but why advertise to reserve a table if they don't take any booking. waste of my time. was looking forward to it. not coming here again. would give 0 star rating if I could.

I would highly recommend this place for Indian/Pakistani food in Birmingham specially their Dhal Makhani is the best♥️👌🏽 Also, we were warmly welcomed by Amna and she was very excellent at her service!!!

Food is actually ok but the staff all freshies man off the banana boat

Absolutely horrible experience. The place was shabby and not clean, and was lacking any tablecloths; the food was salty, indigestible and had very little resemblance to any decent curry. Moreover, it felt it came straight out of fridge or freezer, quickly microwaved, bush-bash-bosh it came as a stodgy turd in a bowl. There was no soul, no passion in that so called curry house, just three hustling waiters who clearly knew how bad the food was, yet they had the audacity to ask if we enjoyed it. Absolutely appalling experience! The place should be either revamp and have a new chef, waiters and tablecloths, or simply just shut down!

Not worth visiting food was not fresh at all.

Haven't been to this place in years but we weren't disappointed during our visit. The food was great and staff were attentive. The food was served relatively quickly despite it being a very busy night. The lamb chop starters... if you know, you know. The mains were well spiced and the flavours balanced. The only negatives: the decor seemed somewhat dated/tired and the restrooms seemed as if they weren't being kept clean during service.

Iv given u 5 stars but wasn't 2 happy with the starter's n fries they were more cold than luke warm not 1 to complain hopefully it's a 1 off

Amazing food. Like literally. I am not a Pakistani myself and it was a great experience to try butter chicken one. For me it was a bit spicy but it’s alright. I also had passion fruit juice. Mmmmmmm looooove it. The prices were also okay.

Brilliant as always thank you.

I visited today. The waiter was just looking at us all the time we been there. Ive ordered lamb karahi it was uncooked i could feel that the curry was from previus day. Called manager and told him he was not bothered. I would never go again as i went all the way from nottingham just for dinner with family.

Aman Garu excellent waitress/work at Shere khan I would like to provide you with positive feedback Aman Garu at Shere Khan which I believe is the best waitress in Birmingham. Aman is brilliant in all aspects, his role, his approach, his listening, understanding and Aman response to the issues in finding best ways to address them. Aman is not judgemental nor bias. I full appreciate his time, his hardworking and effort. Although it is his job, he truly take that extra mile (goes above and beyond) to ensure that he provide efficient advice and service. I cannot thank Aman Garu enough.

We went recently. Dated toilets no loo rolls. Lamb chops were big and hard, taste like mutton. Apple crumble was a base of raw dough with apple slices placed on top with separate very thin watery custard.

Brilliant lovely food. Thank you.

Ok but waiters keep coming back expect a tip haha

We went in around half 2sh wasn't rush but waiters were slow, we ordered the sher khan combo which came out after 5 minutes of us ordering and was still cold, when we asked the waiter he had an attitude, anyway they bought it back hot, then our main came out and had a hair in it, they went on fully charging us for our meal until I stated I wasn't going to, its way to expensive, we had 1 mocktail, 2 kids meal and the combo which they charged us £45.00 and there attitude.. won't be going there ever again

Bit pricey for portion sizes but nice

Very expensive for middle class people. Food was not as hot as freshly cooked. Waiter forgot serving my drinks.

The service and food wasn’t good at all

Disgusting, I ordered food today which i have to throw in the bin after one bit because too much salt was in it ,If someone had health issues like High Blood Pressure . They might get sick after having dinner here . Not only curry was full of salt ,Chapati was same too and One item was missing , When i called resturant for missing item .He said we can not do anything for you even though i told him my guests are here ,He said he can not do anything if anything is missing ,When you order next time then we will see . Bad customer service skills this resturants workers had i heard this before but after todays issues i believe people was right. 0 for everything.

Delivery was made in time however, the parathas were dry, hard and salty. Like the chef couldn't be asked to make them. Looked like roti with the tightest amount of ghee on them. Not edibale at all

Excellent quick service by all the staff. A special shout out to the lovely NEELAM. She was above the rest, a service with a smile, an extremely polite girl.
