Tipu Sultan MaJestic Dining in Birmingham

Been awhile but experience today was average service was good but the food wasn't anythings special and was pricy, updated review I wouldn't be rushing back

Had a good experience for a meal. All ordered like Naan, Mango lassi, butter chicken were very good.

Compared to other similar restaurants in birmingham, this one is pretty average, nothing special about the food compared to the prices they charge which are excessive. I was especially disappointed with my chaunsa mocktail, it was just mango juice from a carton, however the mixed berries mocktail had bit more effort put into it

Food great But it’s also sooo busy and loud! Lovely for occasions though

Food was average and service was just plain bad. Slow and incompetent. I’ve been here many times but this time was awful with the window cleaner still cleaning and not being attended to when we were one of two tables there. Food wait time was 30 minutes ridiculous. And after complaining there was resolution offered.

Excellent service thanks Lovely food

Disappointed that tap water is no longer offered(previously did) clearly profits are put ahead of good customer care. We had a family function and spent almost £30-40 on just water. It's not cheap taking your family out prices have gone up everywhere but restaurants who refuse tap water to customers when infact it can easily be offered are clearly intetested in making money. We won't be returning any time soon for our family functions . Many restaurants out there who still put customer experience and value for money before profits.

Lovely place well worth the visit

Good but no privacy had no privacy walls and we came from very far because we heard good things very disappointing

Yesterday I celebrated birthday of my child food wasn’t tasty at all specially haleem after eating this while going back home to London my child was vomiting all the way bcz haleem was very bad in taste and smelly overall very expensive very disappointing never wanna go again

Took a while for the food to arrive, but delicious and fresh as always! Update: Revisited over a year later today. The service has deteriorated further. Tipu Sultan's manager believes they can lack in customer service and are exempt of all negligences when they are busy, that is the excuse used for any mishap. If they are busy they will not let you have your starters and mains all served together. Some waiters have no manners whatsoever and behave as though they're doing you a favour. Our waiter in particular thought it's a good gesture of customer service to just place the receipt on the table without notification and leave; with no book to enclose cash nor asked if we want to use card. We had to pay by asking another waiter who was well mannered. The previous rude waiter who was assigned to our table then decided to shout and call us from the back, as we were heading out, (10 mins after he had left us with the receipt) "SIR DID YOU PAY???" We also witnessed customers leaving their seats and asking waiters where their maincourses are, after having waited for over 30-40 minutes. This seems like a regular issue that Tipu's seem to have become rather comfortable with. Another point to note is the small amount of meat in their curries. Be prepared to have ample sauce and 3 pieces of meat/chicken. The manager and waiters need a lesson on how to treat customers.

Lovely restaurant, excellent food, amazing atmosphere, brilliant service

Nice food good place to visit for families and the staff are friendly good service

UPDATE- Outrageous service when asked for tap water needed for my meds. “ We don’t give tap water” What restaurant doesn’t give a glass of water!!!!!!! 💦 Thank god they don’t charge for using the toilet or washing hands… OR IS THAT NEXT!!!! 2nd visit here with the family. Service was very quick, friendly and a large variety of dishes on the menu. All arrived at the same time as requested with the food all hot. Great place for real authentic asian food BUT NOT FOR TAP WATER 💦

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Toba Sultan, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! Food (10/10): The food was simply outstanding! Every dish was bursting with rich flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The meats were incredibly tender and juicy, while the rice was fragrant and cooked to perfection. The presentation was also top-notch, making the meal as visually appealing as it was delicious. Service (10/10): The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and attentive. They made sure we were comfortable, checked on us regularly without being intrusive, and provided excellent recommendations. The service was fast, yet everything was prepared with great care. Ambiance (10/10): The restaurant’s atmosphere was warm and inviting, with elegant décor and a relaxing vibe. The attention to detail in the design made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Toba Sultan exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience with exceptional food and top-tier service, this place is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be coming back again soon.

Food was delicious but we had all of our food late.But you get free mint chocolates at the end

Went here for Lunch today,as it was pretty much the only Indian restaurant open for lunch. The place itself is very handsome. And spotlessly clean. The food was very tasty and plenty of it. Even though our starters and main course arrived at the same time ! BUT, and this is a BIG BUT !!!!! If you are not of Asian heritage,you will be treated like you're really not welcome,either by the staff or other Asian diners. I got the real impression that "This is their place,and you really aren't welcome here" ! So even though the food was excellent,i felt very uncomfortable throughout the whole meal. And also,it's very strict Muslim. So no Alchohol is served or allowed and no Coffee either ! You have been warned.

Ordered Lamb Curry and Spinach Curry and more …. and they all tasted old and like it was done it was a few a few days prior … and meat was not tender and tasted old

I called on Sunday afternoon to inquire about private seating areas suitable for families. The person I spoke with seemed preoccupied and was not very helpful in answering my questions. Initially, they indicated that they did not offer private seating; however, after I mentioned the enclosed seating areas shown in online photos, they acknowledged the presence of booths but could not guarantee their availability. I felt their response was less than satisfactory, perhaps due to being overworked, and it influenced our decision to choose a different restaurant.

Food exceeded expectations. Especially the starters - the sultan chops was the star. Thanks to brother Hanif who was excellent throughout service.

Absolutely crap Ordered a lamb Karahi ZERO gravy Just plain meat and this is a new one I had chunks of green and red peppers. The karahi was dey as hell, ordered with a cheese nan which was undercooked and it has made me ill. tossers

I have celebrated my wife bday really food was delicious I feel indian taste here this restaurant fulfilled all the demands which I wanted. Staff was very cooperative and respectful.

Great service and fantastic food

Went last week had a good time. Good select food dishes

Amazing place to go for a curry, fully recommend

1 star is a lot had very bad,dry tasteless food heared a lot about this seriously a small restaurant can provide better food. Manager is like he is Gordon Ramsay with such bad food.

Barbar era increíble con la comida y el servicio era inmaculado. Siempre a mano con comida y servicio. Fui más allá junto a Samar. Defo recomendar a ambos chicos

Food was delicious and service was excellent. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Wasn't as expensive as I thought and portions were decent

Lovely atmosphere, visited with the family.

Food was fantastic. Had such a great Mughlai food after ages. Each and every dish we ordered was great taste. Service was upto mark and atmosphere is one of the best. Highly recommended when visiting Birmingham

Too much ginger in the Chicken Masala but the lamb chops were amazing.

Always visit Tipu Sultan when we're in Birmingham and the food never lets us down. Today we received excellent service from waiter Baber who was extremely friendly and took care of us from the second we entered to when we left. Baber made excellent recommendations and was very respectful and attentive.

Visita regularmente aquí, para reuniones y con amigos, y cada vez que la hospitalidad es excelente Bilal Bhai, Bassat Bhai, Rashid Bhai siempre nos hacen sentir muy bienvenidos. La atención al cliente es fantástica, especialmente Shahzad , muy profesional y muy conocedor del menú y de los ingredientes. Achari Gosht y Palak Gosht con tikka de queso generalmente va a. Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar aquí.

Ali Hammad has amazing customer service!

Great place as always Never disappointed. Great food and atmosphere Staff are really nice too.

Very disappointed with the salmon tikka starter and in general any fish. It smelt and was raw and uncooked. The service wasn’t very good. The dal makhni was also horrible. The only decent item was the mango lassi.

Delicious food. Arrived on time. 5 stars

Visitó con unos 20 amigos del trabajo. Servicio excepcionalmente lento y el personal a la entrada y dejando mal bannered y grosero. ¡No un ‘gracias’ o buenas noches simplemente ignorado! Por el precio que están cobrando hay un montón de otros lugares a los que ir con mejor comida, mejores calificaciones de higiene (este lugar es solo un 4 ) y personal que realmente aprecia su costumbre y no son de malos modales.

Can't beat tipus sher khan curry an lamb chops

Really nice place, great food and service. 👍

Mashallah. Ample seating available for both small and large groups. The catering hall on the second floor offers for segregated gatherings such as weddings. The catering service is very good and the food is delicious. All meat is Halal and vegetarian options are available. Prayer hall available on the top floor and toilets are generally clean.

Best Place to visit with your friends and Family

The portion of food per plate has been downsized dramatically since January 2025

The moment we walked in the staff treated us as if we shouldn't be there. Giving us snide looks and having a rude temperament towards us. Food was luke warm when it arrived and very bland, just masked with chilli to cover up the lack of flavour. They refused to give us tap water for a couple of jugs on the table. Had to buy their ridiculously priced bottle watered. This place cares more about their pretentious decor and then they do about service and food quality.

Great environment and great food. With A1 service

Amazing food and great service. Particularly enjoyed bhindi gosht and the sultani lamb chops. Came back the following day for more :)

Gave a friend the runs the next day. We ordered loads of dishes. One of them was really bad so we tried sending it back. Waitor argued with us saying it was fine. It ended up being the only dish that wasn't eaten. Terrible customer service. Mango lassi was dead and so was the daal and roti

My son’s future in-laws came to the uk from Saudi. Both families met and wanted to show the in-laws a nice meal. So embarrassed food was absolutely disgusting, swimming in grease. Never going there again.

Went here for dinner with the family, 4 adults, 2 kids, and an infant. The place looks fantastic inside and out, with very convenient onsite parking. We were seated quickly, and the ambiance immediately impressed, it definitely looks the part. However, the service fell short. Despite the restaurant not being at full capacity, many staff members were standing around chatting. Kudos to the few who were running around and working hard, but we had to chase the waitstaff to order drinks, food, and even request the bill, which was disappointing. As for the food, we ordered nihari, gosht achari, chicken peshwari, murgh biryani, mix grill, chana daal, chat, plain rice, naan, a jug of lassi, and mocktails. (Wanted a chicken Karahi on the bone however they didn't do this and recommended the peshwari chicken.) Everything was fantastic! The nihari, daal, mix grill and chicken peshwari were the highlights, absolutely fire. The biryani was flavorful with perfectly fluffy rice. The gosht achari was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the mix grill was a hit with both kids and adults. Overall, the food was brilliant, but the service needs to match the standards of the food... Thus the 4 stars.

Great ambience. Friendly staff. However, the food is average

I reviewed 4 years back with 2 stars need to amend it to 1 star , the improvement goes on , what a pathetic place , Rush , Noisy , congested seating , not recommended for private peaceful dining , the menu is so basic nothing special in it , we ordered peshawari on bone chicken , The original peshawari style is slow cooked with very light spices but this was horribly hot with red chillies , the pineapple mango salad was small chunks nearly tasteless , the service was like dhaba where the waiters just leave food and run for next order. If you want to get disappointed after visiting and curse your spending, Feel free to visit other wise NOT Recommended

It use to be tasty and reasonable but now it’s expensive and there’s no taste left.

Very nice venue, beautiful inside, all staff very nice and friendly, only thing to improve is maybe more toilets, only one toilet for 100s of guests is a bit bad, the food was pretty decent, starters were very nice especially the fish, i dont like fish, but this one was so good i had multiple rounds haha, very good venue

Heard lot about this place thought give it a try, very disappointed with the food sultani chops was awful, there are better places up north with better food and curries. Peshawari lamb curry was okay just boiled meat with masala not the greatest. Wouldn't recommend the sultani chops, mocktail was just strawberry syrup nothing great

tasty hot quality food, delivered fast. Would definately recommend👌😋😊🙏

The food always nice but today was very bland and not cooked like it supposed to be ,very disappointed of the whole order

Today on New year's eve went for a dinner. Ordered fish pakora and lamb chops which were cooked properly and came with delicious chuttni and mix salad.Had a big glass of salty lassi.Hubby ordered ghost karahi for main dish.Simply loved there falooda. Loved the quiet atmosphere of Tipu Sultan.I recommend this place .

Service was good, food could have been better.

0 stars food never even arrived

ICE COLD. TERRIBLE. NEVER AGAIN!

Loved the food and the lassi was delicious! The service was quick and the staff were super polite. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Indian restaurant at Birmingham. Hyderabad style food. Ambience 5/5. Good parking space. No waiting. One dish for 3. Price 3/5.

Great food and service, but I found it inhumane that staff have been instructed by their greedy management not to provide free tap water to customers.

Great place to take family for a meal out.

The kebabs were just too good and overall every item ordered was well made individually.

Been to Tipu Sultan many times. The food is always good and the service is prompt. Highly recommend the restaurant

5 star experience dining out Well worth visit for that special occasion in life. Not every day things as it's little bit on the expensive side.

Food was lukewarm but once heated tasted really good

The best chana chat I have ever tasted.

Excellent food, excellent service and brilliant atmosphere + decor 👌

What an outstanding restaurant. Decor breathtaking, service of a high standard and food absolutely authentic.

Very good service, amazing food. Big up Siltan after a night out

One of the most reliable restaurants in Birmingham, been there many times over a decade and each time the quality of food is good. Samosa chaat, green chicken and lamb chops are always favourite starters. Chicken tikka, ghosth palak, daals are always spot on and their naans are freshly made so tasty that can eat on its own. Good place to go for a family meal, party or professional dinner as the ambience is great and you can call an book a table in a suitable place. Good parking space too.

Fatima looked after my family and I exceptionally well. The food was great and it didn’t take very long for us to be seated despite being a walk-in on the Friday before Christmas. The lady at reception was lovely too!

Today we had our dinner there. Foods were amazing. Staffs were very cordial specially Fahtima, she was so caring to us. We will visit there again.

Food was too delicious. Staffs are very friendly. Best service by Fatima. Highly recommended.

Came here for staff xmas meal. Fantastic food and experience our waiter khurram looked after us very well. Thank you

Great food ! Love tipus always!

Highly recommend Best service by Fatima, very pleased with your service

It's a nice restaurant enjoyable food was good too. Butter chicken was a bit too creamy and not for me. Enjoyed other dishes better.

Top Class Service for Roshid and the team, would definitely recommend

Tasty food nice and warm especially that the had to cater for 15 people, service 10/10 staff very helpful always checking up on us to see if we need anything, would come again and recommend to other. Keep up the good work

Visited the restaurant yesterday for the first time and I was very impressed with high standards of food and customer service. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, food full of flavour and staff very attentive. Thank you all for an amazing experience and see you soon again❤️

Food was really good. Definitely will come again

Wow, love the atmosphere. Butter chicken and butter Naan on top! Biryanis good too.

Worst food I Have ever had in my life. Zero taste. -5 start for food but there is no option for -5 so one star

TIPPU sultan staff is very cooperative and food is very delicious,if you going and eating once ,you should go again and again,ENJOY

Always good food and well presented

I was shocked that after spending over 70 pound on food and drink, they refused us tap water. They offered us to buy bottled water. I thought it was Law that restaurants have to provide tap water. Not happy customer.

Absolutely awful place the staff are rude and very unhelpful. The food was vile. Two people out of my group of 9 people couldn’t eat the butter chicken it tasted like to tomato soup. When we asked for the manager it took 40 minutes for him to finally come over. When ordering our food the very rude waitress told one of our group he wasn’t allowed to order it as it will be too spicy for him. (How would she know how spicy he likes his food was this based on his appearance??) I asked for some tap water with my food to be told they don’t give tap water and if I want water I must pay £3.50 for a bottle. And to top it off when the bill came they had added items onto it that we hadn’t even ordered!! We drew all these issues to the mangers attention when he finally came to our table who did absolutely nothing to try and rectify the issues. Appalling food and service do not waste your money !!!

Love love love their food, service and everything is just on point. Everything on their menu is just delicious. A server was just amazing on our visit unfortunately I have forgotten his name. He made our evening very special and so friendly.

Beautiful and good location food was good aswell service was alright reccomended

Authentic South Eastern Customs

Overall good food, but the portions on were small for a £25 dish .

Portion of meat was good, although the taste of meat felt a bit off, compared to last time we ordered this item.

Wr wr served by Babar, and he provided excellent service, must say staff like Babar keeps the good name of Tipu Sultan.

beautiful food, really lovely but 1hr and 45mins delivery ???? well worth the wait

Lack of light in boxes .serices was crap

Food was lovely and as described - will definitely order again!

Food tasted great, however the chips were soggy and the keema naan was a keema paratha which was also soggy
