The dine-in experience dazzles with its warm, inviting ambiance—think elegant decor, soft lighting, and a welcoming vibe. The menu is a triumph of authentic Indian flavors.

I order on there counter and food is nice when i sher at work they likes and said next time we will get from there I say Mr.Rana special Thank you to fone my food quickly

I've been going to Himalia for years now, and they've never failed to disappoint me, GO ON HIMALIA 🙏

There were 11 of us together for my birthday celebration. The staff were excellent in every respect. The food was amazing quality and the portions were a good size . Drinks are reasonably priced and a good selection. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue and I will be returning soon .

Excellent flavours but tiny portions and lukewarm.

Aweful no spice in the food so bland I have better microwave dishes . Tried to give us a 25 pound voucher . We gave it back . Took 25% off the bill it was still not enough . Never setting foot in there again

Couldn't out my finger on what was missing. But was all a bit average.

Had many many curries here over the years, but had a 7 year gap due to living away. Went back the other night with friends, and shocked to find zero customers at 9 on a Friday night. Immediately had panicking thoughts that the food must now be dire. Wrong! 6 of us with starters and mains, and not a bad serving among them. Good to see at least one staff member of old, still providing great service, but where are all the customers!? You were guaranteed a wait at the front at this time on a Friday last time we were there. Haworth was busy enough, but just not in here. Shame.

¡Qué velada y servicio encantador, con comida tan hermosa. Brillante hospitalidad de Peter y Joanna, con los mejores tés masala que hemos probado. La comida de principio a fin en el menú degustación, se puso cada vez mejor, el personal fue brillante en el cuidado de mi alergia al gluten, muy apreciado. . . . Podría haber sido un día largo, pero bien valió la pena, el jefe de la Venado era excelente, compró un libro firmado también. Gracias a todos...

This has to be the worst dining out experience me and my partner has ever had. We turned up as the restaurant opened, we was the first couple to sit down and the starters took 2 hours to come out while take away orders was flying out the door. Food was great but then we had to wait for our mains which was another 40 minutes? When the mains arrived, there was a black beard hair on my missus's plate and a huge long black hair in my meal, food was undercooked. It was an absolute joke. Would not recommend anyone dining here. Joke of a resteraunt. Definitely will never be returning. There was a couple that sat next to us for their 50th anniversary and they left before we did because of the ridiculous wait times. We sent them to a different Indian restaurant that we know of so we can only hope that they had a better experience there than they did here. Joke!

Been here a couple of times, they treat Asians differently and are much nicer to White British people. Please AVOID!!

I recently visited Monsoon Indian Restaurant in Tettenhall, Wolverhampton, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. From the moment we walked in, Fred and the team made us feel incredibly welcome, offering warm hospitality that set the tone for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, well-seasoned, and fresh, showcasing the true essence of Indian cuisine. As it was my first visit, I was thoroughly impressed and will definitely be returning. The value for money was also excellent, making it an even more enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Monsoon to anyone in the area—it's a must-visit!

Great meat veggie and vegan options

I completely love this place so much. Prithi down the road is far inferior. Their curries are watery, flavourless, and their naan was soggy like moss near a lake. Agra uses delicious spices and aromas, which is nice and makes me happy like Christmas or buying discounted mayonnaise. The waiters' petite frames allow rapid nimble maneuvers, ensuring all tables are aptly catered for and orders are delivered promptly. The naga chill is hot and balanced and the rice yummy and scrumptious... always on point. The decor is quite breathtaking in some respects, with proper authentic curry house designs inside and out. Prices are highly competitive, so all in all, this place is hard to beat. If you live nearby, it's close to you which makes it easy to get to which is nice, like back scratches and waterproof plasters. 11/10 love it lots and lots ❤️

Uninspiring yet ok food. Prawn puri starter was the highlight - packed with flavour and prawns and the puri was light and fresh. Chicken was on the dry side in the Pathia which also lacked richness. Avoid the house red. It's the only one available by the glass and is approaching undrinkable. Ideal for a post pub curry, but it is not the 'amazing' food that some of the reviews suggest. I cannot comment on the chef specials and is only one visit, so I may be underselling this place..or not!
