The Indian Streatery in Birmingham

This is one of the vest places I've ever eaten. You can taste all the full flavours in the food, staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. The cocktails are amazing! Highly recommend

It was a really nice experience. People are welcoming and nice.

Great service and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant food! This place is a must visit when in Birmingham

Really good environment and the staff is really nice and helpful. 100% recommended.

Amazing , food , with even better service a and staff , a great dining experience

Nice little find in Birmingham. They accommodated us without a reservation which was very kind. The food in itself was lovely. However, the paneer fries were so sparse for the price and the batura was more of a naan than a puri. The service was excruciatingly slow albeit very kind when we had any interaction. The drinks were nice. Wish the menu had more photos so that we could see the portion sizes. Overall it was top on food taste, couldn’t fault it (except the batura), and nice location. Sweet ambience. Would visit again.

Food was not fresh. Someone needs to do a hygiene check as its quite concerning what I ate. I've been unwell since eating here. Also they cover everything with a tamarind bottle sauce. There are so many better choices in town such as Pushkars, Dishoom, Asha's, ithihaas. Compare the quality you get at all these other restaurants compared to here.

Food quality and taste has massively declined since the restaurant opened. They just smother everything with tamarind sauce. In terms of service, they take a while to bring out the food, which would be fine if they then didn’t give you 20 minutes to eat it.

Indian Streatery is a charming gem tucked away in the heart of the city centre, offering a delightful blend of flavors and an inviting atmosphere. The vibrant energy of the place is matched by the warm, attentive service of the staff, making it a cozy spot for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Indian street food. While the pani puri was visually appealing, it didn't quite live up to expectations in terms of taste and portion size. As a dish that's a favorite in India, known for its burst of flavors, it was a bit disappointing that it didn't capture that essence here. However, Indian Streatery truly redeems itself with its Samosa Chaat – an absolute must-have! The balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors comes together perfectly in every bite. The crispy samosa, mixed with rich chutneys and fresh ingredients, makes it a real standout on the menu. It’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back, making your taste buds dance with joy. I’m sorry I missed taking pictures to capture the beauty of the dishes, but trust me, the presentation was just as lovely as the ambiance itself. Despite a miss with the pani puri, the overall experience at Indian Streatery is lovely – the ambiance is wonderful, the staff are welcoming, and many of the dishes, like the Samosa Chaat, are definitely worth trying. It's a place full of potential and flavor, just a little refinement away from perfection.

khushi thanks for looking after us. we njoyed food. loved talking to u. U made our evening. thanks

Massive decline on previous visit, chicken wings tasty but slightly undercooked, lamb and spinach curry very watery and lacking in spinach.

Great service, fabulous food really friendly great atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed

Just left after an afternoon in Birmingham with a friend, seen previous reports so thought we'd give it a try, the service and food was superb. , not sure what we were ordering so did so on staff advice and had an exceptional meal.. lamb, chicken, breads, pakora etc... Superb, will return whenever in Birmingham.. Top marks..!!

Brilliant experience and amazing food!

Thank you so much you recall my tongue indian flavours...

Food tasted great, good experience. Abhi was a great server, very attentive and helpful with explaining the menu.

Really nice food, with great service (Abhi was my main server, but several checked in to see if I needed anything). Fantastic advice about different dishes, how much to order & even how to eat some of them (the "down in one" Pani Puri)! Music was a tiny bit loud for my taste, but that's personal preference I guess!

Delicious dinner with phenomenal service from Abhi! He recommended dishes for our group and the meal was fantastic. Highly recommended

Fantastic meal. Abhi recommended a number of dishes for our table of 4. Food was incredible and service excellent. Highly recommended.

One of our favourite spots in Birmingham, atmosphere is top notch, staff are brilliant, and you'd be hard pressed to find better Indian food at prices this reasonable anywhere nearby. Highly recommend.

Busy restaurant, lovely fresh cooked simple Indian food. Staff friendly and relaxed. Great place to eat.

Isha was a fabulous host, great food and great atmosphere.

Amazing food Good quality can be recommended for Indian taste

Excellent and delicious food with friendly and helpful service. The food is authentic. I enjoyed the food. Great value. Highly recommended.

Great food snd friendly staff. Very welcoming manager and assisted me in my order. Highly recommended!!!

The Indian Streatery offers a fantastic blend of authentic Indian flavours with a modern twist. The dishes are bursting with spices, and the street food-inspired menu brings a unique and fresh dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the staff are welcoming and attentive. The Kulchar, in particular, is highly recommended as an excellent accompaniment to any dish.

Great food and great service. Eaten here several times and the staff are always pleasant and greet you with a smile. Today I had the pleasure of being served by Khushi, and was very flexible when I asked to change my takeout order to eat-in. I have recommended this place to colleagues and they have all raved about the food too. Would highly recommend to all who are in Birmingham City Centre.

Samosas are not made consistently. But the Black Dhaba Dal Combo is very tasty and healthy. Staff is very friendly.

Love the food and vibe here. Manager Khushi is a friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this little place to all. I celebrated my birtgday here and will always be memorable. Must must try. We will be back again.

If you miss indian food in uk this is ur right find. Great food cool atmosphere super cool staff, Mind blowing food which takes u to home cook food. Khushi looked after me and was all smiles and warm to us. Thnx wll kp comng back

Welcoming and friendly staff along manager(khushi),food is amazing ,the balance of the spices complimented every dish.

Only ate a couple of dishes to get a feel for the place but I’d definitely go back again. Really good service and tasty and nicely spiced dished. Had the chicken chaat which had tender chicken and chick peas with a nice bite. Also had the lamb kofta which had a well spiced sauce, moped up with a great roti. Mango lassi was good too. Would say it’s a 4.5/5 but couldn’t give it 4 as not really any faults. Recommended

Wow! What a lovely surprise. My wife and I were visiting Birmingham for the day and stopped by this restaurant for lunch. The 3 ‘street food’ dishes that we had were lovingly made; so well flavoured and tasty. I must mention the delicious cup of masala Chai which was perfect. In addition, all the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Great hospitality. Thank you so much for a lovely experience.

This is the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted - and I’ve been to India! The pan puri are delicious, and, along with several sides, breads, rice & mango lassi, we always have the yellow dhal, chole bhatura, and masala fries. Never disappoints, always utterly delicious, and the staff are brilliant.

the staff is very humble. overall great experience

Our waitress was so knowledgeable and made sure we had a good time. Good vibes! And the food was DELICIOUS! You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, 100% will come back again!

Little quaint streatery! The food is delicious, would definitely come again!

Wonderful service. Authentic taste of OUR PUNJAB, hygienic. Outstanding I would say.

Only the starters were good but rest everything was microwave food. We ordered Black Daal which was very bad and maybe was cooked a day or two before. Serving bowls were old and basic! Chef refused to accept that the daal wasn’t fresh which I get why would he? Chole bhatura: ok Bhatrua was not puffed and was too thick and oily. We ordered Lachha parantha as the naan was not available So we ordered one each for the four of us! one was sufficient for the two as it was too big and again oily and hard to chew .. uneven corners! Disgusting! Vegetable kofta: I swear to god it was the worst dish we ordered! Trust me if you end up going please take a word of advice: PLEASE DO NOT ORDER VEGETABLE KOFTA! My 8 year old son ordered chicken curry which is his absolute favourite and tasted it and didn’t eat at all! He ended up eating my chola Bhatura which he liked and I don’t so it worked, as was not wasted … Samosa chat and loaded fries were the only Night savers! Bill for the 4 us in total was £108 trust me not worth it!

Wonderful service and amazing home made chicken. Great atmosphere too dine alone if you are visiting.

Such a nice place to eat in, Food and service are really good

Okay food. A big fan of Indian food so it is worth a try. Food that I have tried is too spicy for my liking but nothing bad. mango lassi was the best part of the meal. 😍

Food good but I wouldn't return. Booked online for a group of 6 occasion. Then for some reason the booking was cancelled. So I phoned the restaurant and rebooked. Experience started well with great drinks and food. However, we then felt we were being rushed, e.g. Dishes cleared before one of the group had finished eating. We were then given dessert menus, but then brought the bill. Then we were told that they needed the table for another booking that had arrived and we hadn't even been there quite 90 minutes. Then we were told there were no desserts available. I then expressed my dissatisfaction with the manager and was told it is clear bookings are for 90 minutes. This is not explicit on the website, or on the booking confirmation text, and I was not shared this information when I phoned. I didn't feel that the restaurant manager responded in an appropriate manner when I raised the issue and was disingenuous in saying it was made clear. If it had been, I would have booked elsewhere.

Go to place for us to satisfy indian tastebuds whenever we are in Bham city center, one of those rare joints , not a huge variety but whatever you get is authentic Indian not the usual AngloBanglaFakeIndian. Top it up with excellent customer service that you get and its pretty amazing.

Brilliant selection of Indian dishes, good size portions and freshly cooked…defo recommended

Came for lunch, service was really quick and food was stunning!

I recently dined at Indian Streatery, and it was a delightful experience that I'd highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Indian flavours. The ambience was warm and inviting, with traditional decor that sets the perfect tone for a memorable meal. One dish that truly stood out was the **Samosa Chaat**. This appetizer is a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant. The samosas were perfectly crisp, generously filled with spiced potatoes and peas, and topped with a medley of tangy tamarind chutney, cool yogurt, and fresh herbs. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish was nothing short of spectacular—it was both comforting and exciting, with just the right amount of spice.

Delicious food, very friendly staff. especially the waitress janet, explained us the menu and recommended us right amount of food.

Delicious food, and super attentive staff! Will definitely be here again

Best place for Indian cuisine. It’s my first time and I really loved the food ambiance and the service as well. Will definitely come back. 👌👌

Really lovely food and friendly staff, great place.

Malika was amazing and very welcoming, she’s so sweet we had amazing chat with her!

Visited first time. Ordered one of Indian street foods. Terrible preparation and taste. Felt nauseous for the rest of the day. Will never ever visit again. What a waste of money?

The place was very busy and I'm not surprised - it's in a good location in central Birmingham and the food is very good. The Chicken Methi curry was really good as was the dhal dish. Good value.

I visited The Indian Streatery for lunch today. The place had a cozy, welcoming vibe, and I loved the modern twist on traditional Indian decor. It wasn’t too busy, which made for a relaxing dining experience. I decided to try the pani puri and tikki chaat, both of which came highly recommended. The presentation of the pani puri was nice, but I was a bit disappointed with the portion size—just four puris with less than half a cup of water. The water was overly salty and didn’t have the authentic, tangy flavor typical of real Indian street food, which left me wanting more. The tikki chaat was a bit better. The tikki itself was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a good balance of spices. It was flavorful and definitely a highlight. However, the chickpeas accompanying it were quite bland and overpowered by the tamarind sauce, lacking the depth and complexity of traditional Indian flavors. I only ordered a small portion because I wanted to try other restaurants in the area. I found the prices a bit steep, especially for the portion sizes. Four pani puris with such a small amount of water felt like poor value for money. On a positive note, the service was excellent. My server was attentive and friendly, which enhanced the overall experience. The restaurant was also very clean and well-maintained, contributing to its charm. Overall, while the ambiance and service were great, the food at The Indian Streatery was lacking the real, traditional Indian flavors I was hoping for. With some improvements in the authenticity of the flavors, this place could be a fantastic spot for Indian street food. I might consider returning in the future, but for now, I'm looking forward to exploring other restaurants in the area.

A hidden gem in the heart of Birmingham. Fantastic food at a fair price, it's been a perfect experience every time I've been. 100% recommend and I'm looking forward to my next visit up from London!

We dined at Indian Streatery on Saturday. We had a fairly mixed experience and we will not be returning to this restaurant in the future. Firstly positives - good service from the staff. They eventually managed to seat us at a table with some light. And waiters/waitresses were attentive during our visit. The 2 cocktails we had were great - The angry Indian and the Visionary (? With pineapple and vanilla vodka). Sadly the food was a let down. Each dish was covered in the same tamarind sauce. Masala fries was just plain fries with the tamarind sauce. Paneer fries were okay. Chickpea burger was the only dish with some heat. We ordered pakora fried chicken wings. They were undercooked and hardly any batter - just covered in that same tamarind sauce. While I love tamarind sauce, it’s not so nice when all the dishes on the table have the same taste. Staff accepted the uncooked chicken back and removed it from the final bill. I was really looking forward to eating here but the food really misses the mark, not authentic flavours.

I recently visited Indian Streatery in Birmingham and was a bit disappointed with the overall experience. The food was average at best, with the taste not meeting expectations. Unfortunately, the tables were placed very close to each other, which made the dining experience feel cramped and awkward. The service was also just average, not doing much to elevate the experience. I was hoping for a more enjoyable meal, but it fell short of expectation

Great family run restaurant serving Indian street food, great hosts clearly explaining the menu and making recommendations, both of which were great (Pakora Chaat & Dad’s Lamb Keema, both recommended), I will definitely be returning to try other dishes on the menu, great food, great hosts & great atmosphere, what more could you ask for?

We had our evening meal at this lovely restaurant while having a few days break in beautiful Birmingham, what a great food experience! We were greeted by the lovely helpful staff on arrival and shown to our table where the waiter went through the menu with us….we were spoiled for choice with the extensive menu. I must say that the food we had at this lovely restaurant was some of the best Indian food I have ever experienced…I would highly recommend a visit if ever in Birmingham, we will definitely return before we return home.

We went here coz we cannot find TamaTanga. That’s all the reason. I like their mango lassi. I really enjoyed that. Overall, the staff were all superb! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Went here on a whim and dang, the food is amazingly priced and bangin’ good! Dad’s favorite curry was a spicy delicious treat!

Really yummy food. Nice service. Great Atmosphere. Worth the price. Excited to go their again. Good amount of vegan options, you just have to ask. Their is no VG on the menu, but you can work out what's possible from V (vegetation) and DF (dairy free) - there is very little, if any, egg on the menu. You then let them know your vegan and they sort out the rest.

We dropped in today whilst out shopping in Birmingham and as usual the quality of the food, service and hospitality was perfect. Kate our waitress was delightful, and all of the small plates were perfectly balanced and tasty. If you’re thinking about giving the streatery a try for the first time my advice is don’t wait, it’s great value and you’ll definitely be back. Thanks for looking after us, see you again soon.

Great Indian food in Birmingham. Must go to in the city.

First of all, I had called the restaurant to inquire if they could accommodate a customized tea request. They confirmed that they were able to do so. However, upon visiting the restaurant, the staff displayed an arrogant attitude. I had specifically requested tea without cinnamon, but it was not prepared according to my request. When I brought this to their attention, they simply replaced it with the same tea, which was even worse than the first attempt. This experience was not worth the money spent.

Unfortunately, bad experience. The place was very small and tight. Also, Not tasty at all and very greasy. It just has a name for Indian cuisine. I wouldn’t even recommend it for my worst enemy (Watch out for the check before paying)

I really enjoyed the Aloo Papdi Chaat and Abhi mixed a great Naked Visionary for my son.

Tasty would have liked a bit more quantity.

Delicious food, great service. Felt very home-cooked - lots of great flavours. The black Dahl in particular was great!

Good ambience, Food and customer experience from Abhi.

Really lovely steetfood. Very authentic. Paratha was the best!

We had lunch date here, actually it was my second time here and still loving their food. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food presented well. Cheerful staff who were knowledgeable about the menu.

Excellent service, delicious food with just right spice, polite staff!!

As a Gluten Free diner finding great restaurants can be an issue. Not this time. The food was excellent and the flavours bounced in my mouth.

Great service and very authentic flavours!

The food was average and the service we feel like very cold. The chole bhature were made with self raising flour so was very heavy and not fluffy at all.

Food was ok but aloo chat of the restaurant is something you will like to order again ,however we came across 10% service charge extra with the bill first time in the UK restaurant.

Food was delicious and fresh. Service was fast and a special mention to Abhi friendly & attentive. Lovely cocktails too !

The limited food and service that I received from ABHI was amazing. I would definately go back and try some more food.

Review: The Indian Streatery, Birmingham Today, I visited The Indian Streatery in Birmingham, eager to experience its much-talked-about street food. Here's a detailed account of my visit: Ambience and Service: Upon arrival, we were welcomed by the staff and promptly offered a table for two. The ambience of the restaurant was pleasant, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for dining. Order Details: We ordered the following dishes:Pani Puri (£4.95)Tikki Chaat (£6.95)Bhel Puri (£5.95) Additionally, a 10% service tax was applied to the bill. I specifically requested that all the dishes be made spicy. Food Experience: Pani Puri: The Pani Puri was the first dish served. Unfortunately, it was quite a letdown. Only four puris were provided, and they were soggy, suggesting they had been reheated, possibly in a microwave or oven. They lacked salt and taste but filled with a good amount of stuffing. The spicy water was served in short glasses which was less in quantity, and it was neither cold nor adequately salted, tastes bland. Overall, it was a disappointing start to the meal. Tikki Chaat: Next, we tried the Tikki Chaat. The dish consisted of just a single portion of Tikki , topped with namkeen, onion, chickpeas, tamarind sauce and dash of yogurt. While the dish was served hot, it failed to deliver the expected burst of flavors. A good Tikki Chaat should be an explosion of tastes and textures, but this one was underwhelming. I managed to finish it, but it did not meet my expectations. Bhel Puri: The final dish was Bhel Puri, a mixture of Indian savory namkeen, puffed rice, onion, and chili flakes, all served on a poppadum and drenched in tamarind sauce. Although it looked appealing, the Bhel Puri was soggy and too sweet due to an excessive amount of sauce. It lacked the desired spiciness, and the flavors were not well balanced. I could not finish it and left most of it uneaten. Conclusion: The Indian Streatery needs to put more effort into refining their dishes to make them more authentic and delicious. The recipes need to be perfected to ensure customers get a genuine taste of Indian street food. While I only tried a few items from their menu, and there may be better options available, my experience was disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback constructively and makes the necessary improvements. I wish them good luck and look forward to experiencing the difference on my next visit. Overall score 5/10 Thanks

Really tasty food. Freshly prepared, great flavours and good value, too. Plenty of GF choices as well as veggie and vegan. Highly recommended

The Indian Streatery offers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic Indian cuisine and inviting atmosphere. The crispy Paneer Fries and Ginger tea are perfectly spiced. The friendly staff ensures a pleasant visit. Highly recommended for a taste of India!

Visited Friday evening. It was busy but we had booked a table for 8:30. The table was part of a row down the centre of the restaurant so we asked if it was possible to move to either side. The young waitress who tended us & another lady who was possibly the manager could not have been more considerate or friendly in finding us another table. On top of this excellent hospitality the food turned out to be also excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all.

Random drop into this place in town (Birmingham City centre) at the weekend before the England game, superb food and service! Just go, you will not regret it.....the chicken curry with some of the roti's and rice is 🔥

they serve me and i am sit on the table and they said all table is full we will give you money back and you leave here now sorry about it. they are totally rude people🥱

Ordered a Chicken Pakora burger and fries. Burger amazing, fries were mostly burnt and rock hard, I hit them with a fork and you could hear the sound. Waitress kindly notified the Manager, the Manager said that as I had eaten most of them (incorrect, more than half was left, all the bottom was burnt, was I meant to eat the fries at the bottom first or do a quality check when it was placed on my table??) she ‘couldn’t do anything as the bill had already been generated’. I did say I don’t think I should pay full price for something that wasn’t as it should be, but they took no notice of it. Poor, I didn’t create a fuss as I was busy and it’s not my style but I won’t be going back and do not recommend to visit this branch.

Simply the very best food! Lovely friendly and helpful staff - three young ladies serving. A must visit. I'll be back for sure!

We chanced upon this gem if a restaurant whilst wandering the town centre with our 10 year old. Such friendly, helpful staff and beautiful, funky decor. Fresh, light flavours of authentic street food. The lamb and spinach curry was exceptional. So pleased we were spontaneous. Highly recommend.

Tasty food, very nice staff, pleasant environment!

Great late lunch. Server was very helpful.

Amazing food. Great quality. Reasonable prices. Small and big portion options. Lovely staff, including our waitress, Isha. We will return next time we’re in Birmingham.

Loved the ambience. Our server Isha was particularly very helpful, to help us decide what to choose. Will come back to this place for sure

Would not recommend I was told to order at ones I said after three rotis if I feel hungry then I will order for more they said it’s weekend so you can occupy the table for one hour only and I could see three to four tables were empty just because I did not order in bulk and just ordered for roti and curry this is how they treated us but on the other side they treated other table people very well just because they ordering in large quantities even after they were taking time almost 20 mins to just give their order but they did not communicate the same things to them if there are certain rules please mention to everyone and don’t be biased also if you are into food business have respect to treat and feed people with respect after all we are paying for what we eat it’s not for free

Too much delayed service. Taste was just okay, not so good. Reasonable prices. Didn't feel like going again. Nice decor.

Very good food, good service. Really nice servers, eshika,ab hi,khushi, Isha were both very knowledgeable & helpful when ordering food. 10/10 would come here again

Food was really nice but portions were a bit small.

Everything was superb, absolutely great taste and recommendation by Abhi , and fabulous service from the team - Ninad, Jayant, Khushi , sonny. Gonna be back soon :)
