The Kesar in Sandwell

Cannot rate this place highly enough well worth 5stars *****

Must try Naan, soft and melts in the mouth, tops bham restaurant can't do, Currys are fine for the price

Found this place by accident, had traditional keema,naan, chicken curry, n basmati rice...the food was fresh, n tasty......prices were good... best news was bring ur own alcohol.. Worth a visit for good curry.. .. parking's a bit difficult tho.....

Absolutely rubbish. Ordered South Indian king prawns, it was watery, too much onions and completely tasteless. Deshi tikka biriyani was swimming in ghee. Made me feel sick. Only nice thing was the naan bread. Nice and soft.

Lovely food, lovely staff. It's very well priced. Value for money.

How the hell did this place get 4.6 stars? The food was absolutely terrible words cannot even describe how this was the worst Indian food I have ever had in my life and even worse I ordered this as my birthday meal. The food was beyond bland and dishes that were meant to have some spice to it had completely non-at all. I ordered pathia and it was watery, but it was like watery whereas the water and the tomato sauce was like separating for some reason. The lamb that was also in the dish I’m still trying to work out how you can have lamb that is cooked in a sauce yet is drier than the Sahara desert. The onion bahji’s were also bland. The chicken biryani tasted off and don’t even get me started on the spinach and lentils. The only thing that was good about my meal was the peshwari naan Which I am convinced they must’ve not made themselves considering the fact that it was actually good. They had the cheek to give me one less tiger prawn in my dish than what was stated on the menu when I ordered which is a liberty when I paid £10 for that one Dish. It is safe to say I do not care if This is the last Indian takeaway on earth I will never ever in my life be buying anything from this restaurant again I would rather go and buy a pot source from the supermarket.

Trading standards are dealing with a complaint I had with the food containing long black hair and refused to except the responsibility because I sent photos in but obviously I removed the hairs from the curry so they refused all responsibility I had eaten there for over a year without a problem but this was unacceptable food standards

Have dinned in this place an also ordered in.it is my new best curry house my old curry house closed down it's taken me few Currys to find good food love this place...so much flavour in everything 💕

We phoned up for a table last minute at 10.30 they said it was ok to go and when we got there we told them it was our anniversary we had a starter and main and service was brilliant after we had eaten they came out with a plate and a desert of ice cream on with a candle in each saying happy anniversary it was a great touch to a great day thank you guys great service and so welcoming will go again

On this visit about the Atmosphere the Music back ground was great but there was a Family one of the group a man he was so loud and noisy he one of those who has to be heard and in the end we had to leave we took our food with us it was very noisy just that one person. Beside everything else was perfect the staff are friendly helpful poppadoms took a while to come freshly cooked I think. We been to this place a couple of times you can not fault the place vert clean. This review base on this last visit

Lovely staff the food is wonderful

Been here a number of times since their opening as well as having many takeaways delivered from there and I’ve always been pleased with the food. Last week I ordered my regular dish, a king prawn palek curry only to receive a dish which was unusually smelly, (even for fish) prawns which were chewy and certainly didn’t taste right. I immediately rang to complain thinking that my curry would be replaced but no, I was told the next time I went into the restaurant that I would be ‘looked after’ Tonight my husband took our granddaughter there for tea, it was a disaster. Not quite sure what has happened, if there is a new owner or even a new chef but we won’t be going back there. Overcharged on set menu, no discount given on the part of the meal we ordered to take out, food mediocre, constantly interrupted by waiters etc etc Be aware that despite there being no information that you pay 10% more if you pay with any type of card as apposed to cash, this also applies to takeaways. We will not return

Food was absolute delishh. Top of the class food served. Ayush and the rest of the staff were superb with the hospitality. Chef Youbraj delivered top quality food. Chef special was top class too. Would be my go to place if I am in the area. Thank you so much to the team at KESAR for the best in class experience 🙏

Kesar provides a beautiful blend of great Indian/Nepalese food with a lovely ambiance to make a dining experience for any occasion worthwhile. We went here with group of friends and every dish is so well made and curated to fit any palate. The customer service was impeccable and we enjoyed every bit of our dining experience here. We can’t wait to be back again!!

Lamb bhuna balti…. Waw! Food is always outstanding but this dish is beautiful! Melt in the mouth lamb with the most delicious flavours!

Food is average. It's a Bangladeshi Indian Restaurant and the same is reflected in the flavour. We were getting the raw taste of the spices in the curries. Ambience and service is good.

Good food with good service. No alcohol served bring your own..

Taste was not good 👎🏻 I am totally disappointed with food taste I went there for main course but after tasting the starters i changed my mind

Always had great tasty food,quick from sit down to food being bought,depends on how full it is i suppose,recommend a visit

Never fails to impress. Staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Food is reasonably priced and the best quality in the area!

Christmas day curry was really good and service was wonderful

One of the best Indian restaurants I've eaten at👍🏻

Always order from this place online. Have seen people say it is expensive however I’d say you get what you pay for. Never ever have I had a bad meal from this place l, always fresh and extremely well seasoned tasty food. Would 100% recommend

Love this spot i must have ate here 20-30 times. Love the lads and the relaxed no thrills atmosphere/decor. You can go here and stuff your face and bring a cupa few beers. Curries and starters are banging. Not a grill spot though its a curry place at heart so don't expect that 10/10 mixed grill, get a curry 100%

The food was vyummy and the person attending was vhelpful and made food according to our taste. Highly recommended

Always the best Asian cuisine around for miles in my opinion, staff are brilliant and they always send me a tub of chopped coriander to add to my already well cooked meal. Never go any where else, this establishment is 💯%

First time I've been on family recommended will return when in the area

Only had takeaway but food and delivery is fantastic

The best place to eat in Wednesbury.

Perfect place for a lovely meal.Clean and Comfortable.Relaxed atmosphere with friendly,helpful and polite staff.Food always cooked to perfection. Our favourite Curry House⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

First time ordering from this restaurant, food arrived early and hot. It was absolutely delicious, will order from here again

Fantastic order from the kesar and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed with the food 5 star quality piping hot and delivered on time would recommend 100%

Take away food was nice but can never order it !! No one ever answer the phone....not impressed at all. Bad service

First time i have had a delivery from this restaurant. Have always had a delivery from another restaurant which has sadly lacked in quality. So gave these a try. Have to say the food was outstanding as was delivery and service. A bit more expensive but well worth it. Thanks guys will be coming to you from now on.

This place is great in every way

Nice place. Good food. Plenty of choice.

Lovely food best curry I've had,

I had a chicken biryani from these guys and it was lovely. The ambience and atmosphere of the restaurant is also classy.

Beautiful food. Great prices. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend

Fabulous family meal, very friendly staff.

Delicious meal with excellent service. The restaurant was quite busy but the waiters were very attentive without being intrusive. Will definitely return.

Very fast efficient service and a good curry

5 star food 5 star coustomer service I would definitely recommend

Delicious food, piping hot and delivered within 30minutes. This is the 2nd time we've had a delivery and both times brilliant. We ate in a couple of weeks ago and that also was delicious. Staff lovely

First time here is very nice meal we had the special that's on at the moment... The food was top notch and very good friendly service and nice atmosphere.. there was also parking right outside. Will definitely go again had a lovely time for valentines with my wife.

Got food late 45 minutes. GOT HAIT, WHITE LONG HAIR IN MY PARATHA...ordered lamb tikka masala and its sweet curry like chocolate, when complained, Mr. H, MANAGER SAID ITS MOST POPULAR SWEET DISH, ..IN EARTH WHERE LAMB TIKKA MASALA IS SWEEET....thrown to bin...sending all evidence to health and safety now...And most surprising, No apology at all from restaurant...

Brilliant service, staff are extremely friendly and food was ecstatic.

Best food for takeaways and dine in

Absolutely amazing food and great quality customer service. The guys make a simple dinner special

Great choice of food which is well cooked. Excellent service with a smile

Nice food but overpriced for the portions sadly. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere. also halal which is great! For my fellow brothers and sisters thinking of coming here I wouldn't say I don't suggest it just be weary as the food is very watered down in flavor compared to traditional Pakistani/ Asian curries.

Very nice food, good prices, good service, friendly staff.

Lovely food with great prices however both times I have visited it has been freezing in there 🥶 The man was lovely and tried to fix the problem but I was already a snowman by then.

This is an amazing curry house!! Go here all the time!! Customer service is always spot on as they always try and help and accommodate your needs and are always on hand! Food is always very tasty and hot and has a menu to cater for everyone! Nice decent sized restaurant and has spotless toilets! Would definitely recommend this place if your out for a curry and a few beers

Legitimately the best restaurant around Wednesbury. Doesn’t matter what I get I end up liking it. My partner and I have been eating here for a few years now. They make the best curries and the waiters are welcoming and kind special H great service overall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ordered chicken biryani and chicken jalfriezi, considering it was local it needed to be warmed up, 6 tiny pieces of chicken in the biryani, completely lacking in spices had to add my own.. poor quality won't be ordering again !

The food was lovely at a good price

Food was good and service was excellent. Food was very good value for money restraint very clean and tidy will go again

We regularly have food delivered, I'm vegetarian and my wife is vegan. The staff are very knowledgeable and accommodating to dietary needs. The food is always excellent and arrives hot and in good time. We are looking forward to trying out the restaurant.

Delicious food from the kesar. Ordered a few times for takeaway but most recently ate in and it was even better. It’s great as a takeaway but 5* eating in. Garlic achari is a delicious curry, and their chicken pathia is one of the best we have tried. Can’t rate this restaurant any higher, everything we have tried has been delicious.

Great service, good food. Love this restaurant.

Great service. Tasty food execellent

One of best restaurants ever. Excellent food and service. No faults... MUST TRY....

Another Gem in Wednesbury, great service and great value food,we shall return 👍

Food was good, speedy service. Would have been 5 stars but the position of the table made it awkward to call for assistance

First time eaten here. We usually order takeaways which have always been excellent but enjoyed there Sunday offer which was reasonable and tasted great.

The food really is top notch! They are not licenced so remember to take drink if needed but there is a shop around the corner if not. The curry we had was so fresh and food and really great value.

Best restaurant in Wednesbury get ya selfs down asap

Came here for the 1st time with my family for Mother’s Day as was recommended by my mum who regularly eats here. The customer service was discusting! As its our 1st time we wasn't aware that there was a set menu. And we didn't discover this until we over heard the table beside us. As we wasn't given the option when seated and menus was handed to us as only the standard menu so we ordered from that. We then discovered that when you walked in there are leaflets with the set menus if you haven't been here before how are you expected to know. Other curry houses give you the option of both menus at your table to give you the option. So when we paid as we had ordered a starter curry and rice we told the man we have 1 set menu. He was very sharp and rude saying well you can't have that as you didn't ask for it?? As said we wasn't given the option and didn't know and he kept insisting that it's basically our own fault we didnt order it and that he won't honor the deal. Yes it's only a difference of a few pound but that's but not the point. If you want returning customers you would say that's OK no problem I'll do it for you but next time ask before ordering.. This has totally put me off from returning again and for him being so rude about it that is not how you treat your customers! Especially when my mum is a regular I won't be recommending you to anyone and maybe in the future you will give other customers the option of both menus at the table as this is really poor customer service.

The food here is beautiful. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend

Best food in the west midlands

Well food came to fast was very cold items missed of the the oder after spending 40 pounds not even a popperdom even tho they sent salad for it very dissatisfied never ever order there again. Tho previously orderes was beautiful very disappointed

Food is fab and Staff are outstanding. Highly Recommend. 👍🙂

Ordered from here quite a few times now and never been dissapointed, defo my local indian now. Food is always hot, fresh and flavoursome. Reasonably priced too!

From the warm welcome at the door to the amazing flavourful food at a brilliant price you’ll love your visit…! Take aways available if you want but I’d rather go for a sit down meal 🥘

Never disappointed. Food always delivered hot. Pleasant delivery person. Fantastic food and full of flavour. Thank you everyone at kesar for never disappointing me. Keep saying will have to eat in one day, meet you all dace to face. Merry Christmas to you all.

Absolutely fantastic place, food and service first class. Will be back in the future.

Trying to find a good Indian restaurant. Ordered online Really good tasty food, delivered on time, will definitely try again x

Loved it. Food was great, staff are wonderful and fab value for money. Highly recommended.

Had my bday meal hear starters was OK but rest of food come out warm and cold not hot thought they were rushing everything out and got things wrong might have been cause there was 17 of us but any other time when there's less of you food Is spot on.

Amazing place, amazing food and very clean and polite staff, highly recommend.

First time takeaway. Food was superb

This was our first time visiting The Kesar for a takeaway. Restaurant clean and staff friendly. Unlicensed, so bring your own drinks. Opted for Chicken Shashlick Bhuna and a Chicken Pathia. % off the price for collecting. Food was some of the best tasting we've had in a while. Will definitely be returning either for another takeaway or to dine in.

10/10 food Staff were polite and well spoken. This,was our first visit. We will definitely be making this our regular, as I've become fed up of driving up to brum for a regular night out for the 2 of us.

Very good. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic food and great service

Delicious food, generous portions, good ambience, value for money, excellent service- what more does one want? Will definitely be back! Addendum: Back today 10/2021 post-Covid: the original review from 2019 is still true- 5 Stars again!

Best curry in Wednesbury area, friendly staff and good value for money.

Had a really enjoyable take out curry. Plesent staff.

First time there. There was 7 of us. What a brilliant place. Service was excellent.. Food was out standing .. Well done boys well be back soon

Lovely place and fantastic service Food was amazing

Me & my partner always eat at this curry house, food is always fresh, second to none and the guys are lovely always provide top tier service. Always leave satisfied we always leave a tip

Food was nice the only downfall is that I ordered 2 half portion currys and 1 nan bread to be delivered 3 streets away from restaurant and it cost £16.seems alot and very expensive.never paid that much from here before won't he ordering again

Love curry 🍛 ❤ You'll love it at KESAR

Great service, fantastic food 👌

Good food.. reasonable prices and staff were very nice.. definitely worth a look

It was the first time we went there, there were 7 of us and I gotta say the service was absolutely brilliant. We were rushed as I find some places rush you to order and clear up the table.. The waiter was excellent and the food was out of this world.. I must say I can't fault it whatsoever.. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed..

First time at the Kesar very tasty food and good service will return

Absolutely superb meal,will not go any where else.

Brilliant food never let's you down
