Shere Khan in Birmingham

Decent food and friendly staff but the restaurant needs updating in terms of the decor. The seats are torn which isn't nice and doesn't give a good impression. Visited recently on a weekend and it was very cold inside so they need to put the heating on too.

The worst curry I’ve ever eaten!! No flavour whatsoever. Freezing cold food! The chicken tikka masala I ordered looked like red soup!! No texture apart from the tiny chicken lumps! Couldn’t eat it!! Waste of money will never go near this place again vile!!

Went today and it was very cold had to keep my jacket on. The food had come and it just seemed they have thrown in Kashmiri chilli powder in the biryani and served it to us with a lot of oil. Nasty. The starters were all just very spicy and no real taste. I come back after a few years but each time I do I’m always disappointed

Id neaver eat from here again there was sum kind of cleanning product in curry and when i phoned up about this they said nothink they can do about this what a joke so its ok for them to put cleanning product in ur food

Very bad experience even when we order the food never on point either it’s cold or no taste, visited yesterday ordered half Piri piri chicken with fries they gave whole chicken instead when we informed the waiter he took it back ripped the chicken then gave same plate back no seasoning or flavour chips very dry without any salt… lamb chops wasn’t well done as requested also asked for green chillies couple of times but the waiter and waitresses just run and hide service was 0/10 so was the food very disappointed as we use to come here on a regular basis each week even use to tip… also the toilets are very filthy unclean out of service or the loo is flooded the place needs a refurb and staff change as the workers are just there chatting away in corners or just standing there without wanting to take order if they do they always end up rushing around giving the starter then quickly the mains when the starter wasn’t even finished overall place should just close down disgusting day by day! Avoid this place!!!

Muy mala experiencia, incluso cuando pedimos la comida nunca en su lugar, ya sea que esté frío o sin sabor, visitado ayer pidió medio pollo Piri piri con papas fritas que dieron pollo entero en su lugar cuando informamos al camarero que lo tomó de vuelta rasgó el pollo y luego devolvió el mismo plato sin condimento o chips de sabor muy seco sin nada de sal... chuletas de cordero no estaba bien hecho como se pidió también pidió guindillas verdes un par de veces, pero el camarero y camareras simplemente corrió y esconder el servicio era 0 / 10 por lo que la comida estaba muy decepcionado como solemos venir aquí de forma regular cada semana incluso solía dar propinas... también los baños son muy sucios fuera de servicio o el baño está inundado el lugar necesita una renovación y el personal cambia, ya que los trabajadores están allí charlando en esquinas o simplemente parado allí sin querer tomar orden si lo hacen, siempre terminan corriendo dando el entrante, entonces rápidamente la red cuando el entrante ni siquiera había terminado lugar general debería cerrar repugnante día a día! ¡Evita este lugar!

Fabulous, authentic food. The place was full on a Saturday evening and that really tells you everything. Service is quick and portions huge. Great value for money. We've been a few times and it's great. Try the chicken achari! 🤤

Items missing off the order. Over cooked, poor quality

The drink was not included nor was a refund mentioned and the food was to spicy

I had the saag gosht and it was vile. Very salty and overly spiced, couldn't taste a thing due to its spice level. The meat was also extremely chewy and something just didn't feel right with my dish. I have a feeling this is a common thing with many of the dishes here. The plain rice is rubbery and also very low quality. The naan and my fish starter were the only decent things I had. I would avoid this restaurant if you actually want flavourful, well spiced food.

Delicious food and good service

Extremely oily curry’s and cold food do not recommend!

Fabulous food. Made my Dad’s favourite curry that wasn’t on the menu. Usman our waiter was superb and gave us a great experience.

Great food and excellent attentive staff

Food is definitely a solid 9 out of 10. We had one of the best chicken on the bone karahi! Pakora and seekh kebab were delicious too. The ambiance and seating is not so great. The chairs were so uncomfortable and the tables were dirty.

The food was delicious and was very hot, when received, I will reorder again.

Thank you for an excellent service.

Food and service is great. You really need to renovate your restaurant. Its not been updated for over 10 years. When walking in now and seeing this place look so old really puts people off visiting again. Your Feltham branch looks good, you should do something like this for the Bham branch too.

I recently visited Shere Khan, my favourite restaurant and had an exceptional dining experience. The food was truly a delight. The aloo tikki was perfectly spiced and fresh. The fish tikka was beautifully cooked. The highlight, however, was the lamb karahi—a rich, aromatic dish with tender chunks of lamb that paired wonderfully with their fresh paratha. For dessert, I indulged in a variety of sweet treats. The falooda was refreshing and indulgent, with just the right balance of sweetness and textures. The mint chocolate chip ice cream and coconut ice cream were the perfect way to end the meal, both creamy and packed with flavour. The service was attentive, and the ambiance added to the authentic experience. The manager is always friendly and stays on top of everything! I highly recommend Shere Khan for anyone craving delicious and well-prepared pakistani cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning! When you go, try their desi tea too it’s amazing!

Absolutely Diabolical! 🤢🤮 Ate at Shere Khan's Restaurant, haven't been in a while due to the standards being so low. Watched a movie and thought we would give it another try and boy were we badly let down again. Staff Members are absolutely clueless and the food can only be compared to a backstreet takeaway serving clubbers on a night out who are too pissed to realise good food. The last time we visited was roughly 10 years ago and how sad they still have the same wallpaper, tables, chairs and carpets! That being said, having good chefs and staff should be of absolute paramount to any food business. Especially a place like Shere Khan's that has extortionate prices. We do not recommend this place.

Food was lovely and service was great

Food is always on point, customer service is excellent. Best naan in brum!!! Baltis are amazing aswell

the food wasn't good ot was hard and very oily grease food worst place to order food from they don't deserve no ratings

Horrible service. Person behind the counter was rude. Food tested expired. Never rated a restaurant before but they almost forced me to. What can I say loss of words L in the chat

I rarely write reviews, but my recent experience at this restaurant was so appalling that I feel compelled to warn others. During our meal, we requested a jug of water. To our horror, we noticed something moving inside it; a live worm! The sheer disgust we all felt is indescribable. This is beyond unacceptable for any establishment serving the public. We immediately called over the waiter, who, to his credit, apologised and brought the issue to the manager. However, what followed was even more shocking. The manager was dismissive and unapologetic, brushing off the situation as if finding a worm in drinking water was no big deal. This lack of concern for basic hygiene and public health is both infuriating and deeply worrying. It’s clear this restaurant needs an urgent visit from health officials. If there’s a live worm in their water, what does that say about their water system and overall cleanliness? This is not just a matter of poor service—this is a serious public health risk that needs to be addressed immediately. I strongly urge everyone to think twice before dining here. The thought of what might be lurking in their food or drinks is enough to make anyone lose their appetite. Zero stars if I could give it that. Health authorities, please take note!

We had the best Pakistani food in a long time. We were served by the very kind and helpful Usman and the also very friendly Nepalese waiter. Thank you very much for the excellent food & service.

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

Excelente servicio al cliente de Anjum. Queremos que la dirección extienda nuestro agradecimiento a Anjum. Ella es un gran activo para el negocio.

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."

Me and my misses came to this restaurant and absolutely loved the food, we found out that you also delivered. We’ve ordered tonight and the food tastes exactly as if we was eating in. The food was absolutely fantastic and was still boiling hot, the quality was amazing. We will definitely be ordering again.

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

I never received my order from this place. I won't be ordering again 😒

Very good and sorted previous issue also. 10/10

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

Éramos cuatro si salíamos a comer en familia y elegimos ir a Shere Khans en Birmingham. El restaurante tiene un gran ambiente, el personal era muy educado y la comida era excepcional. Todos coincidimos en que era la mejor comida que habíamos comido en mucho tiempo. Nos atendió un camarero llamado Usman que era un crédito para el restaurante.

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

Me cobraron de más por mi comida. Pagué 45 libras cuando debería haber sido de 23 libras. Al gerente nunca le importó cuando llamé. La comida era terrible también y de calidad inferior. Me sorprende que no me envenenen. Debería estar en Rip off Britain!

Nuestro restaurante favorito Shere khan. malik Adil rahman era el proveedor de servicios que atendió profesionalmente con gran presentación y la comida era realmente buena

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

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.

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.

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

I visited Shere Khan Star City with my family to celebrate with an Eid dinner, but unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory. 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.

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

Deliver driver never showed up with my food

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.

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

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.

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

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
