Tipu Sultan MaJestic Dining in Birmingham

Our usual restaurant for special occasions. Went to celebrate a birthday. Food was good as usual apart the karahi that we order usually being a bit TOO spicy (and we like spicy food). We informed the waiter that the karahi had been too spicy and to simply inform the chef. A few minutes later the manager ZAFAR has arrived,and rather than accept our honest feedback has proceeded to try to convince us that the curry was not spicy!! Ofcourse we have stood our ground (as we all did find the saalan too spicy). He has then very strangely even implied that we’re lying! We’ve had to cut our celebration short and left without cutting the cake we had brought with us. Other waiters were great and food was otherwise good as usual. Mr Zafar needs further training in customer service and accepting constructive (and honest!) criticism. Thank you

Recent visit: Food was far too spicy to enjoy. Everyone found it too chilli and sweating throughout starters and mains in a catered event. The staff wouldn't even provide plain yoghurt to mitigate as 'it's not been on the allowed list'agreed by the event planner. Very poor. And this was an all South Asian event! Not good if everyone suffers from the food on the day or the morning after. Sort it out. Furthermore, the car park attendant and manager wouldn't allow people to park in an empty car park on a Sunday lunchtime (at noon) - when nobody else around upstairs or downstairs. For these reasons I've downgraded my rating. Held a charity event. Good service. Food was fine. Staff were polite and discrete. Nice ambience. Acoustics are not great in this venue

As soon as we walked in we felt as if we shouldn't be there, that's how we were made to feel. Food over spicy even though we love spicy food we asked for mild, Water was rank and smelt funny, probably because we didn't order alcohol. Staff kept standing and staring at us as if we were going to do a runner, which would not happen as we are all older people. Very expensive for the quality and service we got. Only thing going for it was the decor which I liked but the atmosphere was awful, there was a few of us and we were having a laugh but made to feel as if it wasn't allowed. One place we will not be going back too. The only person I had a smile from was the English lady cleaning the toilets and what a good job she done too.

It seems to be hit and miss with this restaurant. On some days the food is great and on others it's average.

Overall, the experience was good, but the haleem was just average. Authentic haleem has a viscous texture, achieved through traditional kneading with wooden ghota, but theirs was clearly blended with an electric mixer. It also lacked the usual garnishes of fried onions and ginger.

Overrated for absolute no reason. First time here due to the hype and I can comfortably say I will NEVER be back. Although service was fine however the food was just awful. Chicken biryani was probably the worst I've ever had, was just plain rice with chicken thrown in, no flavour. Chicken tikka was red and tasteless, Hyderabadi chicken curry was ok (despite being their "special dish") and lamb chops were pretty good. Overall, MUCH BETTER places to go and eat. I asked the waiter if their Haleem was any good, thankfully he was honest and advised me to eat something else. Lol

Very nice food, a little expensive but you get what you pay for.worth the visit

The food was out of the world really best best . I ordered from delivroo the food was really hot Taste of the food was amazing. Plz let the same quality always forever. Best restaurant in the world. Thank you so much chefs and lovely manager ❤️🙏🏾

Very kind staff. Spacious and quiet place, with comfortable seatings. Delicious Murgh Haryali Tikka. Gluten-free options are not clearly labelled on the menu.

The food here is always really good. Consistent every time we go here.

Average food nothing special. Over hyped and extreme spice! Im usually ok with spice tolerance but it was more spicy than required.

love their butter chicken absolutely majestic

The starter player wasn't worth it for £25. Mains were freshly cooked and tasty. Good atmosphere for family.

Beautiful ambiance, wonderful food and service. Would highly recommend.

Very delicious food and amazing service

Food is nice, slightly over rated. Over time prices have gone up and portions have gotten alot smaller. Never the less, food is still nice for a once in a blue moon visit.

Recommended by Huma from Haya Guest House. Great place and delicious food. Decor and ambiance is nice. Getting a space in their car park is not easy however off street parking is available. Biryani was tasty and fresh. Thoroughly enjoyed their poppadoms and chutney selections.

Delicious food with ample parking and seating. It can be very loud and, on occasions, difficult to hold conversations with your party. Recommend to make reservations in advance as waiting time can be up to an hour on the weekend. Prices are reasonable as well.

Amazing experience Delicious food Fantastic service

Food is good, if you don't each much chillies then make sure u mention, food is normally on upper end of spice so if u eat medium as for mild. For chilli enthusiasts it's fine but for general public I would say go for mild

Amazing delicious food and properly serve and look-after customers…love this place

Tasty and delicious food very nice atmosphere food was hot Great customer service by the members. Would really recommend

I recently attended a family wedding at Tipu Sultan and had a truly fantastic experience. The service was exceptional, with the food exceeding all expectations in both quality and presentation. A special thank you to Bilal, our waiter, who provided outstanding service and took excellent care of our table throughout the event. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone seeking a memorable occasion.

Great food!!! Friendly delivery man!!!

Tasty and Good, but Samosa's doughy

Very nice atmosphere, good service and excellent food. We went there for our wedding anniversary. For the quality they provide the prices are very reasonable, actually If I compare them with other restaurant with similar atmosphere, food quality, taste and service, their prices are at the lower side.

Incredible service by Khurram 👍🏼 thank you!

Very rude gentleman on the desk. He put the wrong order on my recipe. I told him I didn't order that but he kept pushing me to get it. His facial expressions was like his fuming angry. He ruined the whole experience for me I will not be going back

Great service by Khurram and authentic food taste

the butter chicken was delicious as always

Very nice and clean restaurant! Service was very good and quick. Food was very tasty ( I recommend the butter chicken and lamb chops starter) portion sizes are very reasonable! Overall really good experience, would recommend!

the rice was hard and no taste but rest of the food amazing as always, think will just stick to what I normally order and not order any rice dishes in future 😀

On arrival we were given quite a spacious booth and the waiters were attentive. However starters were a bit bland and quite small portions , I was expecting more for the price of the chef's special. The lamb main was tasty and the chicken but the dal makhni had no flavor and looked weird. Overal I think the portion sizes need to be bigger. The atmosphere and decor were great and the mocktails were delicious. Parking needs to be expanded especially for the busy weekends.

Excellent food. Brilliant Service!

Food wasn't great , the chicken karhhai and daal

Big restaurant, came down from Scotland and it was the best food we ever had down south and staff were patient and kind .food was awesome and money well spent.

Delivery guy was very helpful thank you food was delicious and nice and spicy like homemade traditional not bland at all had nice kick to it ordered naan gosht .

Consistently good food, service is good when it is not too busy if you’re lucky! Sometimes a little too loud and crowded which counters the good ambience of the restaurant. Definitely recommend advanced reservation.

Food has deteriorated enormously. Very disappointing. Sheesh Kebabs had too much flour in. Curry was tasteless. Lamp chops came to the table half cold. Will not be going there again.

Food was awful. Laccha Paratha was drenched in oil and the masala in the Biryani was not cooked. Terrible!

Shardeel Babar gave an excellent service, you guys have raised the quality of service bar exceedingly high, continue to excel.

Very poor service and swearing people More over rude behavior

A lovely day out for the whole family. Clean, spacious and great food. If you would like a family setting it is ideal. Large tables, toilet facilities and ample car parking facilities. If you need to offer your islamic prayers there are dedicated facilities for both men and women.

Quality high. Spice level high so note if you like milder just ask

Restaurant conseillé par un taximan...un pur délice, excellente cuisine et très bel endroit. Je recommande vraiment !

I had a good experience at Tipu Sultan. The food was decent, but the service was exceptional.

Great service and top quality food with amazing flavour.

the whole order was not delivered, luckily I noticed before the driver left, had to call the restaurant again and wait for the rest of the order to be delivered.

The food is decent enough but not overly flavourful. The service is also somewhat disorganised

It's got amazing food and that's why it is always crowded and because of the crowd the service is okay

Big praise go out Rahul the waiter absolutely best service we ever had food was amazing will come again like again thank u to Rahul for his help and effort top man

Served by Sam at Tipu Sultan- she was amazing with great customer service. Thank you 👍🏻

Very nice food and good environment with a fantastic service!

Nice restaurant, lovely layout. We asked the waiter for his recommendation and he recommended what I believe was the hottest curry on the menu which ruined the experience as we couldnt taste anything just had burning mouths

I ordered a take away for me and my partner her through just eat, I’m a chef by trade with Michelin back ground so I know how to cook! And cook well! This place sent me slimy mushy chicken a keema Naanbread that looked like it had dried canned dog food on the inside of it! I’ve spent most of my evening being sick! This place needs to be shut down I’ve already reported to the Environment health service! (EHO)! The manager was also arguing with my partner over phone and laughing at me while I was being sick after eating his food! It was also cold and about 30mins late!!!! Please avoid at all cost!

It was very good the food was freshly cooked, full of flavour - enjoyed it

All the food was excellent. Best in the area.

Been here many a times, on this particular occasion it was for a family friends wedding upstairs in their upper function room. The atmosphere was amazing, food was excellent quality as always,came out hot and fresh. The service was 10/10, the waiter assigned to our table was incredibly sweet and helpful. Great family friendly atmosphere all round.

Excellent service from the staff. However the food was too spicy for the kids, despite asking for it to be mild

Lovely foods! Staffs are fantastic and take care of us. I would love to go there again!

Almost everything was delicious, from grills to karahi, however we were kinda rushed for ordering our meal, friendly staff.

Tipu need to focus on food more than on anything else. Paya today was a bit of disappointment

Excellent Food & Service - one of Birmingham’s finest places to eat 👍

Very rude staff,especially the guy with short beard, he knows nothing about ethics, told us to go home as they are busy, he needs to be fixed.

The was good but the atmosphere was soo good soo beautiful I’ll prefer u to visit if u have any events or something

Brilliant food and service. The food was really tasty and had great flavours. The waiters were very attentive and polite. Would highly recommend.

We had a fabulous event here. All the food was amazing. The service was spot on. Just no air con in the dridal room it was very hot for the bride with all the atire. The parking issue we were only allowed 15 cars in the carpark!

Loved it. Just don't order chicken tikka masala dish stick to karahi if you're Asian.

Avoid this restaurant at all costs. Recently me and my partner visited this restaurant for the first time as it always appears quite busy we thought we would give it a go. The restaurant itself was absolute chaos, from the moment we stepped in it was carnage. We were seated in a large loud room with at least 5 different birthday parties going on at once. It was impossible to hear anyone over the table as there was so many people packed in and kids running around screaming and popping balloons. Not the most relaxing set up for a meal out. The next issue came when we ordered our food, I was told I wasn’t allowed to order the “medium level” spice for the biryani as it would be too hot for me, even though I wanted a spicy dish. I was also told I couldn’t have the curry sauce and had to have the raita… super rude waitress. We also thought it was ridiculous that you couldn’t order tap water and had to buy a bottle. The food took less than 5 mins to arrive from ordering, and was lacklustre to say the least. Completely flavourless and didn’t appreciate the ambiguous meat in the biryani. I would soundly recommend anyone to avoid this restaurant. I would say it was the McDonald’s of Indian restaurants but I think that would be too generous.

Great food with good price, good service and nice atmosphere. Definitely try their biryani and mutton chops.

Chaat was 4/10. It tasted like curry

Itx just a waste of money ... highly not recomended

Wonderful service, short waiting time and friendly staff.

Had a wedding here and it was really good. Food is bang on. Probably the best wedding food in Birmingham It's a shame that the car park is a bit small.

Amazing experience food was lovely but the service was exceptional for S barbar friendly kind and always on point with whatever we needed

It’s a beautiful Resturaunt, very nice service from the staff. Nice Indian food. The reason I didn’t give five star is only two points; 1. the menu should be with barcode or digital because of hygiene issue everyone’s touching the paper menu 2. although it is Indian food and it must be hot and spicy, but it is not taste of everyone, and the food menu should be flexible for those who doesn’t want hot and spicy taste.

I dined in this restaurant before and the food was delicious however it seems like they lack when it comes to delivery. Food was really oily and was bland. Not happy.

Tipu Sultan as always sets the bar the quality is 10/10 and the way they consider ur notes while placing the order is amazing.

Starters were not as expected - too much food colour & not good quality taste Main course was nice Good decor Waiter service was very cold atmosphere

Disappointed with a visit last month and the lack of response following the visit. Emails sent to the branch twice and on Instagram with no response! Will not be visiting again after the whole family fell ill.

Recently visited, could have been better, but similar taste in different food we ordered.

We decided to dine here after a long journey and the recommended green chicken was tasteless with small portions. The lamb chops looked undercooked with the meat being red inside.

The food was amazing. Every dish was delicious. The Peshawari Ghosht was my top favourite. The quantity and quality of each curry was great. Tipu Sultan has always been my go-to restaurant. Highly recommend.

The driver call to let me know he was stuck in the traffic which was nice. The downfall of the food was the chicken biryani which was cold and dry even the chicken was dry. I was looking forward to my food but it wasnt what i expected. I always order

Everything was excellent especially the food and our server Aqsa

Great experience, food was excellent, and the staff were attentive even to the point of exchanging one of the dishes because it was too spicy. I would highly recommend a visit.

Top 3 restaurants in birmingham every item tastes amazing, food is seasoned perfectly and always leaves you satisfied

We had the hall for a wedding the food & service from start to finish was amazing , Basit ,Wahid and the waiter team gave a 5 star service. Definitely recommend get in touch with brother Basit for all your bookings .

Starters were amazing, however mains were bang average and we had 4-5 main dishes, packed out as usual though

Samar gave exceptional service. My 🐐.

Disgusting food. They are serving paneer makhani full of sugar and then manager arguing with the customer that it is supposed to be sweet. At least don’t argue with Punjabi people who know what paneer makhani is. Trying to sell food as authentic from Indian subcontinent is just cheating people. Never visit this place or order from here if you are fond of authentic Indian food.

The food came very late and the food was has gone so cold due late and destroyed my appetite and evening

Haleem didn’t taste like Haleem.

Nice food. Place was busy so getting a table was tricky. Eventually seated but the table was huge which made passing dishes around very awkward. Service lot up to normal standards.

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, a lot of parking spaces

Fabalous food of great quality, plus good service on a busy night. Staff was very loud in organising service, though, overwhelming the background misic. Big negative was that no parking available for disabled people, parking attendant not very engaging - in my opinion parking facilities insufficient for size of restaurant, for that reason will avoid in future on busy days and times.

Food is a little too spicy for my preference however it’s always consistent and represents good value in a decent setting. Before 6pm there’s plenty of parking but then gets very busy so you may struggle to park within 10 minutes’ walk, especially at weekends. They have a decent sized function hall and staff are very attentive and helpful. This place is great for larger gatherings, especially families and celebrations but maybe not so much for more intimate meals where you’d want a more chilled vibe.

Everything here should be 7 star. Sorry except the parking which is limited

Great delivery, not very impressed with the Dal (how do you get that wrong?) not happy, but there are better places.

perfect Indian food to make you not miss your home. Lovely service by S Babar!!it was an amazing experience with friends.
