Thania Spice in Birmingham

We had a lovely evening at Thania Spice. The service was warm and attentive from start to finish, and the food was full of flavour – everything we tried was freshly cooked and beautifully spiced. It's worth noting that the restaurant isn’t licensed, but there’s an off-licence right next door so you can still enjoy a drink with your meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it a really enjoyable dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Really great food at a sensible price and really lovely staff. Better then anywhere else locally in my expert opinion :) I won’t go anywhere else now.

As always, friendly service, pleasant music, but the food is superb!! Delicious!

Amazing gorgeous food lovely ppl ❤️❤️

Bit of a hidden gem - amazing food, great service, well priced. Our go to curry house now if we eat in. Would recommend.

As always the food was delicious and staff are very friendly and helpful. Always making sure that you’re comfortable and that you’re happy with your food. We will definitely be returning 😊.

We have been many times because we love it, the staff is very friendly and the food is great, and it is also well priced

We love the local curry house . Amazing food , great prices and lovely staff If you haven’t been , pop along and have a lovely curry in a lovely restaurant

Just had a collection order - wow. The food was piping hot and very tasty.Best prawn masala ive ever had. Give these guys a try and you will never go anywhere else. Thanks Thania Spice.

It was okay but waited ages for collection. Told me 30 minutes then when I arrived I waited an extra 20... It wasn't like they were busy either.

I love this restaurant. It is a real gem. They have fitted out the inside recently too, the food is excellent and the service is brilliant

Ordenado a través de justeat, nunca más, gastó más de 30 libras y lo mejor fue el naan. Las madras habrían estado bien si tuviera pollo y el biriyani era bastante enfermizo. Ni siquiera un poppadum de cortesía. Qué horror.

Used to be nice but wasn't a good meal last night. Ordered Butter Chicken and it tasted more like a Korma and the sauce was bitty in texture. Can't complain about the service, the guy on the desk was really nice and gave a complimentary soft drink, but food was gross.

These guys used to do the best set menu but no more. Such a shame and I remember good times here. Won't be returning sadly

The food was absolutely amazing absolutely quality

Brilliant fantastic food Service very good

Fantastic Service, lovely food, and quick and respectful delivery. We got a call from Thania just after ordering to clarify some of the details of our order, and we were really impressed by this. The food arrived promptly, was well presented, fresh, and exactly what we ordered. I will definitely be ordering from Thania Spice again!

Possibly the best curry in Birmingham. Good low prices, big portions, full of flavour.

Absolutely fantastic food, everything was delicious and presented well. Fantastic service with such lovely, kind and welcoming staff. The restaurant Is also very clean, tidy and well decorated. Overall, it was such a lovely experience and I will most certainly be back! Thank you Thania spice!

Great welcome, Great food Great atmosphere

One of the tastiest curries I've ever had. This will now be my go to Indian takeaway. Would recommend to anyone. (They don't take cards - just cash)

Not like it was NEW CHEF'S Not recommended as there is much better (quality) Indian food if your willing to drive an extra 5 minutes in any direction And having used thania for for over 4 years on and off They had a new chef when relocating to the woodpecker pub

We were a party of 9 for a family dinner. The service was excellent and the delicious, piping hot meal was served in good time. The waiter lent us a knife and candle lighter and provided small plates for our Birthday cake. He then took photos for us. We had excellent time in a well-run restaurant.

First order, and it won't be our last. Lovely food. I had chicken garlic balti and a keema nan. Really nice.

Fantastic food, especially the chicken tikka masala and lamb biryani. Lovely mini starter box, too. Speedy delivery and friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Just brilliant.

I went for a meal with friends, from the moment we walked in we was made to feel welcome and valued customers The food, was excellent and could not be faulted, piping hot , food served in good time but no way we felt rushed. The waiting staff were polite friendly, and good banter with our table which is always a good thing We all had starters, mains, various sides, and the bill came to £182.50 for a party of ten with the cost of living is excellent value for money You can bring your own booze but not allowed to bring soft drinks which is fair eonugh Currently they don't take cards only cash not sure if this temporary or permanent In summary if you want a good value Indian meal with great service 100% recommend,

From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff. One of the highlights of the meal was the paneer - it was absolutely delicious! The cubes were cooked to perfection and the sauce had just the right balance of spices. It was definitely one of the best paneer dishes I have had in a long time. Another great feature of this restaurant is that they allow BYOB, which is always a plus. It's great to be able to bring your own drinks and enjoy them with your meal. The naan bread was another standout - it was soft and fluffy, served hot straight from the oven. It paired perfectly with the flavorful curries and made for a very satisfying meal. One thing that really caught my attention was the crazy laser lighting. It added a unique and fun element to the dining experience and made the ambiance feel energetic and exciting....but perhaps should be mounted so as not to shine in some of the diners eyes.

We went here on Saturday and had a really nice meal which was reasonably priced - the naan bread was some of the best I've had, and I've eaten in lots of indian restaurants! They aren't licenced to serve alcohol, which is fine, but they need to get creative with the range of soft drinks offered - there are so many lovely ones that they could stock. Instead, we paid £3.50 for a pint glass of flat lemonade and coke. I personally prefer cans or bottles of soft drink, because they keep their fizz and are nice when served with in a nice glass with a bit of ice. I'd definitely go again - food was great, but soft drink selection needs improving and making a bit cheaper.

Really enjoyed the meal. The food was fresh and tasty. The meat was well cooked and not tough. The proprietor are very helpful and eager to please.

Nice food Quick at bringing it out and making it Overall great service I will give it a 10 out of 10

Just reopened and it's a big welcome back. Before pandemic used Thania for 15 years and it's fabulous to see them open again having survived it.

I discovered last week, that Thania Spice is back in it's original location in West Heath. They are still takeaway-only at the moment, but are hoping to open the restaurant again soon! (exciting times) So for a takeaway I had Lamb Tikka Saag, and my friends a Garlic Chilli Chicken and a Vegetable Chana Saag balti. The food was as lovely as always. Good portion sizes, nicely flavoured (not over spiced, but if you want it spicier, just ask). The lamb tikka is always cooked to perfection, and I also tried the vegetable chana saag which was packed with vegetables. (the portion was too big for my friend - Didn't get to try the chilli chicken - too slow!). Anyway I can't recommend Thania Spice enough, never had a bad meal in however many decades it has been around, even through the tough times of the last few years. Wish the guys the best with their re-opening, it is a pleasure to have you back!

The half a chicken tika was 2 legs.... Should be a breat and a leg. My partner's prawn dish only had 4 prawns. Chili nan had no chilies. Only redeeming feature was the spicing which was brill. There are a lot of takeaways in our area so won't be ordering again.

Not overly impressed at all, £27 for three dishes no free popadoms. At that price I expect to have relish and popadoms at least.

Thania Spice was a favourite restaurant which I used to visit with a friend when in Birmingham. Although no longer a restaurant, takeaway only, the food was just a good. We had an amazing meal. I'm looking forward to my next visit :)

Alas, my favorite restaurant has not survived lockdowns, however, it has moved to the Woodpecker pub (opposite King Edwards Girls School on Turves Green) a few more minutes further away and turned into a takeaway. For the meal, we had Balti Lamb Tikka Saag, Balti Chicken Tikka Saag, and Vegetable Balti Chana Saag, with mushroom rice, egg rice, keema naan, garlic naan, and Popadoms. All the food was superb, every bit as delicious as it was at the restaurant. Portion sizes were about right, all the food (despite the long walk!) was hot and well packaged, perfectly cooked. The food isn't excessively spicy, but you can always ask, generally they will adjust to your taste. The naans and popadoms were very fresh, the rice, if anything, better than the restaurant, and the main meals themselves a good mix of meat, veg, and sauce. Thania Spice has obviously been hit hard the last couple of years, they no longer take credit cards on-premises, and the new location is a bit shabby (those that remember the early days above the bookies will remember then too!), but I urge you not to be put off. The food is still amazing.

Every time I come here the food just gets better I'm just a massive fan now Guys fair play food is awesome, portions are great delivery on time 15 out if 10 perfect guys keep it up

This is just to let people know that this is the same THANIA SPICE that used to be above the coop on Alvechurch Rd West Heath opposite Onions garage. It appears they have had to move from there old premises to the woodpecker pub opposite Turves green girls school The reason for the review is mainly down to the value of the proposed restaurant, Currently this is not a restaurant and is only takeaway but the menu is still based on prices from when they were a sit in restaurant, I was given a voucher for £5 of the bill but when I only ordered £17 at full restaurant price I was told the voucher was only valid if my order was over £25 In my opinion the prices are excessive for a takeaway but would be reasonable for a sit in I can’t comment on the quality of the food as I didn’t purchase anything at that time, maybe if they adjust their menu prices for a takeaway

Have eaten in and taken away from here always have a good meal which is always tasty and hot. Staff always friendly and good service.

Been using for many years but tonight I ordered lamp chop starter lamb chop main meal mixed grill main chicken curry chicken tikka masala and sides no salard for 3 of the meals no mint sauce for the 3 meals the chops was just bone and the chicken on the mix grill was just bone and I am not exaggerating on the plus side my curry was lovely

Delicious piping hot food. Surprising really as they said they were unindated with orders on a Saturday night during the pandemic. We opted to collected our food as there was a two hour wait, we were able to collect in 50 minutes. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.. Would definitely order again!

Ok, bit slow at service but food is freshly cooked.

Beautiful food and the added benefit of taking your own alcoholic drinks

Best curry around and you can take your own alchol.

Excellent Food, excellent value for money and a great team running the place. 4 adults and our bill was only £55 with 3 starters and 4 mains, all cooked to perfection! I highly recommend the Lamb Madras, and Thania Delight Starter. They will cater for vegans and vegetarians, just ask when ordering. It’s unlicensed so bring your own booze as well, they do sell soft drinks.

We go to this restaurant every week the food is excellent. Good choice on menu. The staff are friendly and welcoming

Although I don't know where it is, I would like to try this establishment, because like most people, I love curry,

No frills Indian Nice food lovely naan bread and interesting main dishes. Steep stairs and not too warm. I wasn’t that keen on my dish, but I tasted the 3 of my friends and they were great. No alcohol - bring your own.

Food was fine but slow service tonight

Best indian around west heath by a mile

My whole family have been using this restaurant for many years now, and we have never had a problem with their take away service but tonight we ordered and we where missing food from our order. So I rang them back up and explained that they had charged us for all of our order but their was food missing, I then found myself being spoken to extremely rudely! After 30 minutes I then ha the rest of my order delivered without any apology. It’s is easy to say that I won’t be using this restaurant again!

This is one of my favourite indian restraints, and there are quite a few in the local area. The food is excellent, well priced and always looks good too. The service is great, with friendly staff, they do not rush you between courses. So you can chat all night if you want. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent food and service and very reasonable prices

I live a ten minute walk from the restaurant and would recommend it for large/small parties/couples/solo. I have visited it both with family/alone and the surroundings are pleasant and modern. I shall be dining there again with the family in August '19. It is up a flight of stairs. There is no lift. Guests bring their own wines and beers. It has had a couple of makeovers since it opened about 7 or so years ago.

Have used Thania Spice for many years as my local Indian Restaurant/Takeaway.. never had a problem..Even celebrated New Year there one year....Cheap n cheerful food. But tonight I rang to order a take away and I found myself being spoken to very rudely by the call handler. He was abrupt, patronising & less than helpful when I was trying to discuss my order.. He made trying to order a meal seem as though It was a great inconvenience to him..huffing & puffing at my order instead of accepting my order.. I ended up putting the phone down when he started to argue with me. Bizarre... went to Paprika in Longbridge instead... they know how to speak to customers.

Always come back, excellent food & service!

Yes! Loved this place. Amazing offer Monday to Thursday..starter, curry dish, rice or nann for under a tenner. yes please. I opted for a chicken saag aloo balti Madras hot...my lord...the best balti I've had in a long time..the meat was so tender! Annnd it's byo!

We went on a Sunday evening and it was very quiet, just one other couple. Service was excellent and food is of good quality, very tasty and generous portions. Not licensed but you can take your own drinks. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a local Indian restaurant.

The best vegetable samosas you will ever eat. Fantastic service for every age group. My son ordered a Korma curry, but he did not like it, they asked him to pick another dish, no problem.

Food is always fresh and extremely tasty. Staff are very charming.

Excellent food & friendly staff i would recommend to anyone. Once you've tried it you will definitely go back...

Love it here - great atmosphere, they are always friendly and flexible with the menu. Nice place to take well behaved little ones.

Acabo de recibir una entrega a domicilio y no estoy del todo impresionado.La comida estaba caliente. Las porciones eran un poco pequeñas y el pollo era muy gristly.Probablemente el peor curry que he tenido, y no hace falta decir que no volveré a ordenar de ellos.

The best dhansak I have ever tasted the chicken was cooked to perfection and the spices were fantastic the pakora starter was great as well we couldn't fault this restaurant reasonable prices as well thanks will definitely use again.

Best Indian food within the local area

Hemos comido aquí varias veces, pero desafortunadamente esta noche nuestra comida fue muy decepcionante. No es frecuente que se pueda decir que la comida india es insípida, pero que realmente carece de sabor. Además, mi comida era solo tibia. Cuando se nos preguntó si disfrutábamos de la comida, les contamos sobre la falta de sabor y dijeron que debíamos haber pedido que fuera más picante.

Visité el viernes por la noche para una comida con un amigo (estaba allí a las 7 pm y no reservé, se llenó pero no estaba lleno cuando nos fuimos).

Always good food here & very reasonably priced. Busy on Saturday! Take your own drinks as not licensed.

Excellent food. Friendly faces 👍

Good food and service, my main meal was quite small though

Excellent food fantastic staff won't go anywhere else. Good prices. Best in Brum.😁

We just got back home all our family went together food and service was so good as it was christmas day some of us hade traditional christmas dinner but 8 of us hade the indian meal it was totaly lovely food thank you so much lads by the way we do have your take aways and there fab as well thank you thania spice x

Great food at low prices highly recommended

Never had a bad meal, always friendly and have a great delivery service. A web ordering system would be a nice addition however.

Nice place need to take your own drinks in

Eaten here a number of time have not been disappointed with the food in both quality and taste. Just don't be pu off by appearances from outside, inside decor comfortable and what you expect from asian restaruants.

Lovely little hidden gem of an Indian restaurant in west heath up to date decor the food was so delicious the staff are fantastic definitely will be going again

Go here quite regularly and also order take away, food is always of a good quality, never had a bad meal from here. Staff always friendly and prices reasonable.

Visited here with old school friends......On a Tuesday evening, place was very busy. Food was good for the money but not great but for £8•95 each, u can't complain

Always beautiful food and pleasant atmosphere. My family and I highly recommend!

Esta es mi casa de curry local. . .

Najlepsze jedzenie. Polecam Kormę.

Always a good meal and the service is always nice and polite.

Had a very nice meal here, you will need to book to make sure of getting a table. Also is not licenced, they let you bring your own alcohol. Friendly staff. Sorry had an awful delivery experience.

We ordered a delivery but are short of items. Can't get in touch of Thania as phone off the hook. Hopefully they've got my email.

We very rarely go to an Indian restuarant so after reading the reviews for this restuarant and it is in the same road that we live on we decided to give it a try....

Food was amazing!Staff not interested in serving you. Had to ask for a menu and took forever to get them to take our order. Restaurant was not even busy!

This restaurant never disappoints. Good service and delicious, well priced food. Their Tuesday and Thursday deal is such great value!

Thursday night is a set menu offer and is really good value for money, good is fresh and no massive waiting times.

Great food, friendly staff and really good prices. What more can you ask.

We visited last week on a Thursday which was set menu evening if you choose to take this option rather than the main menu. We visited as two adults and three children 16,12 and 10. We all ate three courses with soft drinks for just over £50 and the food was really good, kids all enjoyed their food too. We are quite fussy about where we eat out but we would definitely return here as the food was so nice.

Best local balti restaurant by far. Chicken tikka Brenjal is delicious! Never fails on food.

Eat here quite often...we have never had a bad meal. Service and food are good...especially the meal deal they do on a Tuesday and Thursday! No complaints from us! :)

Really nice food, service was a little rude.

Prices are good, food is okay - a lot of the dishes I have had here tend to taste the same as others served under different names. It's pretty basic but the staff are friendly and you can take your own drink.

The food is superb here and the service is great too... I went on a Thursday and booked first... I would suggest you go here and book first🎉

Absolute class one of my all time fave places to go and eat i recommend the veggie pakora starter its so good. Ive had the veggie dansak and my gf has the chicken balti both were amazing. Only downside is its in west heath

They do a deal in here on Tue and Thu i think, 3 courses for £8.95, so not bad value although the place can only be accessed by climbing quite a few stairs from the street, it does have a nice atmosphere. However the food is very bland, the curry's, balti's, bhuna's etc all seem very similar and are good for people that do not usually like Indian food as its almost completely tasteless. You can take your own drinks but be warned, if you dont buy any drinks from them you may be treated like dirt as we were on our last visit, they were rude and ignorant to us and when we left they called my friend back and told him that when you have the special 3 course offer next time you must buy drinks. Well there wont be a next time because we were made to feel very uncomfortable.

Pedimos una especial esta noche a las 9 de Thania Spice. 30:00h con pan Naan y arroz hervido. Llegó bastante rápido. El pan Naan era pesado, gruesas y pastoso. El arroz era bastante luz y esponjosas. El plato principal y eran vergüenza. Cristal en apariencia, grasienta, aguada, marinado y totalmente insípido. Yo solía usar este lugar para llevar y sentar las visitas. No vamos allí. Absolutamente horrible. :)

Great again...food is superb! Naan bread is delicious! Good service, friendly staff. Great deal on a Tuesday and Thursday! £18.95 for 2 starters, 2 curries, a keema naan, rice and pappadums! Bargain!
