The New Dilshad in Bromsgrove

Used this restaurant for years and it used to be good. This visit was the worst I’ve had anywhere. Booking that was made 5 days before, couldn’t be found . It was not full but then when we eventually got a table and given menus we were then asked 6 times in 10 minutes for our order by one server and no reason for it as it was getting more empty. Starters were brought out and then immediately main courses followed which just made us feel rushed. The manager , who we have known from previous visits, was having an argument with one of the staff and telling them off in view of the customers which is poor and he should know better.and both he and the man at the till were really unfriendly and the serving staff , apart from a younger man , with a beard , were not happy and really moody all the time . The ladies amongst our party described the toilets as filthy and smelly. Would definitely not recommend using this Restaurant! Very poor experience!

Great food with excellent recommendations by the staff. Can now take own alcohol which is a bonus.

Great, authentic food as usual..!

Had a takeaway tonight, almost inedible, very disappointing. Especially as this had been our go to for many years, but this was unrecognisable.

Been using the Dilshad since 1999 and it never fails to deliver. Shop next door sells alcohol should you need a beer with your meal.

Really good service from really nice staff who are always willing to help

Some members of staff, the older ones, very unwelcoming, & rude!

We had lovely food, I had a chicken dhansak and my sister had a paneer bhuna, we really enjoyed our curries, also the veg rice and nan were good sides.

As this was a take away no atmosphere to share, the curry was lovely and thoroughly enjoyed.Thank you.

I did not go to the restaurant but had a take away madras curry, which was perfect, really hot as you would expect, added yoghourt to it and it was delicious. Thank you.

Our favourite place to eat out. Lovely food and atmosphere and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. Thank you!

We pass here from Kings Norton to look after our horses but always went to Stirchley for a take away but one evening on the way home decided to try it out first time curry nice but a bit bland so next time tried madras very nice bit to hot for us so try again explained to staff member and suggested slightly hot in future now just right thanks to staff and chef for help and advice will always recommend

Booked for a party of 11 people for son's birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meal, the food was excellent, very tasty, and the portions were generous. Staff were very attentative and polite, and nothing was too much trouble. Brilliant atmosphere. First time for some of us, but it won't be our last. A big thank you to all staff for a wonderful evening.

The food here is excellent had not booked but they managed to find us a table for 5, shame it is no longer licensed to sell alcohol that didn't bother us much, but if its permanent maybe it should show in the food pricing like most unlicensed places do

Great food. Lovely restaurant always very good service and excellent food here. They don’t have an alcohol license anymore, not sure why, which resulted in us having to buy wine from the Co-op instead of being able to support this local business.

Brilliant food and brilliant customer service for an excellent price, and I fully respect their idea not to sell alcohol anymore as they still allow you to bring it in

We have been coming here for years on and off but after tonight won't return. We had booked in advanced and asked for a booth seat but ended up by a forever open door, our booking confirmation didn't say we we're unable to be seated, as requested and we were very cold! Young red haired waitress was really kind and helped us move to another seat. We asked for drinks but we're told the restaurant did not serve alcohol as of 2 weeks prior, we were not advised of this until we had ordered food. We ordered 2 balti saag medium hot, no spice in this at all, very bland, as restaurant was full we made a decision to eat what we could and leave. The only 2 people with any customer concern or even a smile are the young red haired waitress and young chap helping to serve.

Lovely food great value for money came in after the races welcoming so much food staff were lovely! Very well done will be in next year

One of the best curry places you will find

Had a really great takeaway last week. Quick delivery, food nice and hot and great quality. Really good and friendly staff too. If I lived nearby I’d be ordering all the time! 👌

Excellent food and service. Book a table to avoid disappointment.

We frequently visit this restaurant rather than ones that are closer - why? The food is wonderful - and have never been disappointed with the quality or the quantity of our meals The staff are very friendly and clearly take pride in their work. My only criticism is the lack of parking!

Curry was plain no taste at all hardly any chicken and the naan bread was like a old flip flop Had better curry’s from farm foods

Tandoori grill and chicken was beautifully presented with salad and Dahl... mixed biryani was full of meat and prawns to the last spoonful and the vegetable curry made it delicious to the end.. we will be back soon.. 👍

We walked in without booking on the Saturday before Xmas. They found us a two seat table that they kept apologising for being small. But we didn’t book so happy they helped. Service and food was spot on and so much more reasonable price wise than we pay in Suffolk. We even admitted the bill was totalled up wrong in their favour !! We paid the correct price and asked to be charged more for their hospitality. Well recommended and would not hesitate in visiting again.

So Went here 2nyt for a meal with a friend the food was amazing but service was terrible felt like they wanted you to finish quickly and leave.waiters kept coming to us asking if we had finished even lent over my food to get something from overside of the table and took away my friend's beer even tho she never finished it.waiters kept walking up and down n felt like they was watching us eat.

Tastiest Indian meal I've ever had. Will be back soon.

Food is not too bad, but is let down by service and atmosphere.

Dined in a group of 8. Started very promising, poppadoms and pickles were nice, main courses all seemed to be a smooth paste with just a few chunks of meat in it, tasted ok, but not amazing, meat wasn't particularly tender. Bread was OK, but again, small portion. We were not even offered the dessert menu and the staff were particularly disinterested, I don't think anyone checked to see if the food was OK, we had to go and ask if we wanted a drink, and not a thank you or a good night at the end. Bill was £200 we tipped £20, wish we hadn't really

Superb absolutely loved every course. One on the best Indian meals I've ever had. Beautifully presented by pleasant Staff. Definitely will be going back!

lovely food staff are very friendly highly recommended

10 of us went on a Friday night, they put us all on a good table the food was excellent, the service and the staff were great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Too noisy from other diners. Food not digested properly, was not enjoyable.

Prices have gone up a little bit

Never had a bad experience in this curry house until now, not sure if they’ve changed hands but food has gone down hill in my opinion, my partner and daughter ordered the same dish lamb balti my partner said his was hotter in spice usually a balti is medium this was more like madras and my daughters was just a thick brown sauce not sure how same dish can be so different, the chicken in my curry was tough, the naan breads usually come cut into portions this wasn’t the case and half of it was burnt. The disposable towel they give you after your meal came out cold these are usually given warm and where usually you’d have an after dinner chocolate it is just a mint imperial, I feel the little attention to detail is sadly not there anymore.

Cracking staff, very attentive and pleasant. Good food at a reasonable price. Don't recommend the on site parking though, best to park in the village square.

Food as usual unbelievable. Fantastic staff and the takeaways are just as good! Thank you lovely evening.

Collected a Take away whilst on holiday in the area - delicious Highly recommended Fast service and didn’t have long to wait

Best curry's. Love there food. Lovely friendly staff.

Always good, fresh cooking, great flavour, reasonable price, and they deliver to the door (presumably if you live near enough lol)

Excellent dining experience. Food was superb with fabulous flavours. Good attentive service. We will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

Had a really good meal here last night very tasty great food.

Good evening ruined by poor food and poor management. I ordered Tandoori King Prawns starter i took a bite and was met with a mouthful of crunch, they leave the shells on. It didnt say this on yhe menu so when i complained they said it doesnt say they are taken off either on menu brilliant answer. Then asked if i could take the rest of my curry home and was told they dont do that anymore i have to do it myself. If it splashes on your clothes hard luck, so told them to throw it away then. Needless to say my 1st and last visit to this restaurant.

Great delicious food. Staff are welcoming, friendly & very attentive.

Has to be the best Indian restaurant south of Birmingham. Have been using since 1999 and always compare other Indian restaurants in the local area to this one. Restaurant is alway busy whatever day of the week you may visit so advisable to book Food is always too notch. Waiters attentive without being overpowering.

Lovely meal, fresh, tasty and delicious. Service was great and booths are lovely. Def recommend.

A great curry house, always buzzing in the heart of Alvechurch. Always a very friendly team on service and the food has never failed. Have been many times and hope to go many more...

Just had a meal.for one and it was super tasted fresh and hot ,has a takeaway on time and was just lovely well done New Dilshad 👌

Great service and food. They forgot one of our curries when we came to collect, but sadly we already arrived home when we checked it. They quickly delivered the missing curry to our home address which is around 5 miles away. Great customer service and the food was fantastic as always. Definitely recommend

Who new this was the team that bought us the legendary Dilshad in Selly Oak !! Anyway, this place had a great vibe .. busy, nice atmosphere, good service and decent prices. Balti was good as were all curry choices. No complaints here !!

Went to this restaurant for the first time on Christmas day. Very impressed when entering the restaurant. We had a traditional Christmas dinner. Service was good with plenty of staff to serve you. The meal was excellent. Plenty to eat which included a starter of prawn cocktail, Turkey, stuffing balls, vegetables and gravy finishing off with Christmas pudding. But you did not feel too full when leaving. A refreshing bucks fizz was also included. Although this was our first visit, we would eat here again. Thank you for making this Christmas Day relaxing.

Customer service is the greatest I’ve had

Can’t fault the service and restaurant area was great but surprised at all the positive reviews in reference to the quality of the food. Table for 8. Chicken was obviously frozen, not fresh and tasted more like it was boiled then grilled Curries were oily. Some naans were from a pack, exactly the same taste you have from a supermarket. Chapati bread were sent back as too hard to eat. Overall disappointing and would never return.

Food was good but it was very cramped as there was 11 of us all just squeezed in together

Visited for a 40th birthday.food slow to come out.ordered lce creams told someone had left fridge door open and all the ice cream had melted.ordered coffees told machine had broke..staff not very friendly.no menus had to order from a takeaway menu.

Went there last Friday for the second time. While the food is quite good the service is too quick. You've no sooner finished one course when the next one arrives. It seems a rush to get you in, serve and get you out as quickly as possible and then get the next group in. Also the staff are so miserable particularly the old guy who hardly speaks and never cracks his face. We didn't feel welcome.Such a shame as the food is good. Won't be returning.

Food is great and service couldn't be better. Highly recommended. You won't be sorry.

Hands down the very best curry I have ever had. The food was just delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming, attentive without being overbearing and all of this at a reasonable price. It's a crying shame I live 160 miles away, I'd be here every evening. Thank you to all at New Dilshad. If I can ever be back I shall be 👍

Very unwelcoming staff. No flexibility with dishes (eg couldn't make add a 'chat' sauce to a dish....although there was another chat dish on menu.) Mango chilli fish starter was, frankly, laughable!... 3 slithers of tasteless white fish swimming in a sickly, gloopy sauce Chicken shaslick was unseasoned (asked for side of chopped chilli- did not provide)... never known this dish come with only a small bowl of lettuce (and no rice) "Chutney dishes" were cheap, tasteless. When Bill was brought, was told, casually " the card machine is not working, so, cash only!!" Who carries around £70 worth of cash, nowadays?!!.... when, I informed waiter I only had £40... I was told " there's a cash point machine next door!". There was no apology. I then had a stressful mad dash to machine, as I feared missing the last train of the night home to other side of Birmingham! I would have (should have) paid only what this " sub-standard" meal was worth, but, did not want to spoil a rare family meet- up.

Lovely meal thank you for the help with my dietary requirements and lovely staff and meal. Absolutely stuffed and never rushed with eating.

Picked up a takeaway here for the first time in years. Good quality was great no complaints at all. The only slight negative was that the restaurant itself seemed very chaotic and food was very late. That being said it was a Saturday night so benefit of the doubt. Overall, great dinner and would definitely return

A real haven on an October Monday evening when all the other restaurants in Alvechurch seem to be closed! Only 15 mins easy walk from the canal, where we moored our narrowboat, the food was certainly worth the effort. A clever menu catering to both traditional and slightly more adventurous tastes. Food was excellent and the service was both efficient and friendly. Contemporary decor completed the experience. Would definitely come again if on the area.

Chicken Dansak was very sweet had very little heat and not much flavour, chicken Balti tasted like someone had just put some curry powder in it ten minutes before hand,could not taste garlic on the garlic naan and it was very dry ,not a good meal in my experience at all

Had a meal here at a wedding, people here are friendly and the food is lovely, very welcoming and helpful.

Had a terrible takeaway from here last week. Ordered a mixed grill and everything tasted rubbery and the naan bread was dry and cold. The Lamb kebab looked like it had been left on the side for 2 weeks. I will not be returning. Also waited 45 minutes for this while waiting in the restaurant, I didn't mind the wait but was very annoyed when I had to chuck the food away.

Went here for my husbands birthday and the food was really lovely. Staff very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be going back !

Fantastic curry, will definitely be going back

Lovely meal in a busy restaurant, good portions and contrasting flavours. Meatballs were memorable. Well staffed although a smile wouldn't go amiss when entering.

Our favourite Indian restaurant, visited numerous times over the years food is always very tasty and the staff are fantastic would highly recommend.

On our way back home from a day out, we came across this place quite by accident. We had a good feel on entering as it was surprisingly busy early on a Friday night. The decor is very smart, slightly unusual for these days and has a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. It then came to pass that our optimism was justified. Very good food and service with little to fault. It is the only "Indian in the Village" but the locals are very lucky that the owners are not taking their customers for granted.

An excellent Indian restaurant, exceptional food. Good value for money, clean and great staff. Highly recommend. 😊👍

Had takeaway and to be fair was really enjoying it until I nearly swallowed a piece of metal that was in the onion bhaji, I called the restaurant and the guy said next time I will make you a better onion bhaji, totally missed the point of how bad the situation is, won't be eating here again unfortunately as the food is very nice, please look into this dilshad to stop something like this happening to anyone else.

Had a great meal once again this time in the restaurant rather than takeaway, staff helpful with explaining menu and difference between the dishes when questioned. Usual Cobra Kingfisher beers available with wine etc.

Never had anything less than an excellent meal here.

Food was excellent ,service was good, nothingtoo much trouble

Food was ok but staff was not happy when we asked why paneer masala was so sweet and raita was off. Staff didn’t care and said next time I’ll make it different for you. We said.. next time? He didn’t care and nodded and walked away because he was having dinner with the rest of the staff. They should really work on customer service or at least pretend to try. Raita was off, paneer was super sweet, and chicken tandoori was dry.

Lovely food, great staff and prompt service. What more can you ask 🤩

Would've been 5 stars except our booking unbeknownst to us coincided with a 50th Birthday Party Booking for about 30 ladies and despite other tables being available, we were forced into a table directly adjoining the party. Conversation was impossible. To the servers credit, they rushed our orders through before the main party, but drinks refills were very slow and having asked for the bill, it took about 30 minutes to arrive. Having driven some distance to The New Dishad, despite very good food (even if not exactly piping hot) -the experience was disappointing. Had they warned us of the party or even sat us somewhere else, the evening would have been saved.

Great food and great service. Special mention for the very helpful member of staff who took my telephone order. She was extremely polite and nothing was too much trouble.

Another fabulous meal with a warm welcome. Brilliant service, wide choice to meet everyone's taste buds. Thank you for the complimentary brandies and Baileys.

Amazing food, particularly the lamb dishes - it melts in your mouth! Booths are very private and staff are lovely.

Always a great night out and the food is amazing both going in and takeaway

Our excellent waiter George made our experience feel very delightful. Will definitely be coming back

Had a sit down meal, food was good due to staff shortages took a bit of time but we'll worth the wait.

I have been after somewhere that does a really nice takeaway curry Since my old one in Studley closed have been to probably most of the curry houses in Redditch Not Overly impressed however called ordered 20 minute ish i was collecting it From really pleasant helpful staff Got home dug in and perfect i have now found the my curry place Can definitely say go and try it you WON'T be disappointed

Used to get lovely food but last few have been disappointing. Chicken like rubber and loads of oil in my curry. Hopefully they improve on the next one as I'm loosing faith. Might give one more chance before I switch.

What a beautiful meal.Lamb Rogan josh balti style with rice.Husband had veggie balti.Really lovely .Service great.Thankyou Dilshad.First time we have been to your restaurant since lockdown and standards of hygiene and food and service still excellent.see you soon.😄

Have used the Dilshad as a diner on many occasions and food is always excellent. Went to order for delivery and even though my address is only 3.4 miles away I was told that we dont cover that area. This was at 1725hrs (5.25pm) so they weren't exactly rushed. They asked was my post code Barnt Green, why probably because thats where the money is to them. No excuses and a lot of people I know wont be using them again.

Probably the best meal I've had here. Been going since it opened, quite a lot of staff members i didn't know, who were quite terse and abrupt. Very fast service, possibly a bit too quick

I went in there saturday and service was incredible even considering it was a busy day, i was served very fast even considering it was relatively busy. i was served by a guy named Abir and he was lovely and kind hearted. got my order correct and when i needed an extra fork he got it to me instantly.also the food quality and taste was brilliant, would recommend!on a side note even with covid restrictions there i felt safe to eat with our masks off. there was room inbetween all the tables and they were spaced out very well so i didnt feel like i was worrying about the people around me while eating.

They don't call me the Massala man for nothing. simply the best Massala i have had in a long time! My waiters Adil and Abir were very polite and I could not ask for a better experience.

We go to the Dilshad quite frequently for both eat in and collection and always have an amazing meal! We come from Redditch to eat here as it is by far better than any other Indian Restaurants in the area. Would highly recommend to anyone! Food is perfect and staff couldn’t be nicer

Great meals piping hot great service thank you

Booked a table on their website only to be phoned and told 2 days later on the day of our booked table that they could not fit us in ??? Such a poor service

Excellent food, some of the staff seem a bit abrupt and don't appear to communicate with each other, and as such you don't get the chance to think about your order, so everything appears very rushed, is have given five stars if they'd been a bit more organised that way

Just ordered a meal for delivery ... excellent.. ordered a number of takeaways always top quality, great staff... looking forward to our Christmas Day lunch delivery

Had wonderful takeaway meal yet again tonight from new dilshad. Food is so delicious and the staff are friendly too.the best Indian restaurant in our area. Pleasure to recommend 100%

Another amazing,perfectly cooked and tasty, takeaway tonight. Delivered on time by a friendly driver. My only regret was I forgot to tip the drive, will do next time.

Staff are rude and customer service non existent. Food is ok but let down by the service.
