The best restaurants serving Indian food in West Midlands

We had come up to Newcastle for a birthday celebration and had originally booked a table elsewhere that wasn't even open, so a wander around the local area we came across this restaurant. They were able to sit the 6 of us within a decent time frame without a booking. The food was exceptional and very tasty, service was a touch slow but it's a Saturday night and the restaurant was full and quite busy. We did have to ask a couple of times for the drinks we'd ordered but the food was definitely worth the wait. Tasty food and lovely staff, we will definitely return the next time we come over to Newcastle

Very good atmosphere inside the Resturent gentle sand friendly staff very good service and excellent food had a great time thanks Bengal lounge restaurant

I have been hear a numer of times went for a take away last night took 20 minutes was first 1s in there Beer was vile. I orded a £9.50 murghi garlic to get home and it tasted like a buna . A korma wmis spicer and NOOO FRESH garlic. Will not be using again . Best indian is the one at the top of hight street on the corner

We were recommended this takeaway through a friend of a friend and tried it last night. The restaurant is not open for eating in, it's takeaway only for now, but we hope that it opens for eating in in the future. From the first phone call it became apparent that this was going to be a very pleasant experience. Our meal was going to be hand cooked from scratch with love and once she was aware we were vegan she was very helpful in guiding our menu choices. You collect the food from the post office next door. The food was delicious and not saturated in oil like a lot of takeaway food that I've tried and the lady was super lovely and made us feel like we were family. It was also incredible good value for money.

After a very slow service and abit of a telling off the service improved dramatically and the young man in charge (Yousun) was amazing, his customer service was second to none. The food was fabulous but up until then we were ready to never come back to this place again. However, after the young man’s management skills and the lovely food we will return again … thank you Yousun for your hospitality and good luck in the future.

Brilliant. Excellent tasty food

Fantastic service and even better food the curry I had was the best Pathia I’ve ever tasted. It was so fresh and a large portion. The staff were attentive but not overly so. They asked what we liked and explained what we had, can’t wait to go back

We used to live in Bridgnorth and have had many excellent meals there. So when we were going to the theatre we didn’t hesitate to book a table. We noticed that the restaurant was half full but there very few people serving. After drinks and popadoms the starters seem to take forever and getting a drink was very difficult even after asking three times. The main course was again taking forever and we realised we were going to be late. There was clearly a problem yet the restaurant was taking in more and more customers. We decided to leave and pay for what we’d had. The bill came and it contained the 4th drink which we’d never had - there was no discount and very little apology and we went to the theatre starving. Yet there were people sat in the foyer waiting for a table. I don’t think we’ll be going there again

Went here last Sat night and had a fantastic meal there. The portion sizes are large, and the nan bread was like a dust bin lid so large all for a reasonable price Down side website says opens at 5.30pm but when arrived at 6pm was still shut Overall great evening with fantastic food

We moved to the area a year ago now and wanted to try out a few local restaurants. The tamarind is one we always come back to. We are regulars there now. Lovely place. Staff are so welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing! Would recommend to anyone. Even on their busy days they are still consistent and professional

Came here on a Sunday evening. We hadn’t been before but were made to feel very welcome, the lady waitress was very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. We had the chicken lollipop to start which was lovely chargrilled with a spicy dip. We also had Poppadoms and chutney tray which was delicious as all the dips were nice and thick and not watered down like some indian restaurants. We were presented with hot plates before our mains arrived which were piping hot for us to serve ourselves which we prefer as we like to share. We had lamb gurkhali special and chicken karahi with pilau rice and garlic naan. Both dishes were very tasty. All staff were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and food was served and presented in adequate time. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Cannot fault the service, quality of the food, the atmosphere and value for money. We can highly recommend and will definitely visit again.

Excellent food as always Best Indian food in the area without a doubt with first class service from all of the staff especially Sab. We will definitely be back again soon.

We went on a Saturday evening Booked online and got a promotion reply confirming reservation Lovely warm clean restaurant. Very smartly dressed waiters who were eager to welcome us and show us to our table Extensive menu with all traditional dishes Food hot and served on warm plates Fresh ingredients and herbs Fantastic naan bread Best Indian in the area Highly recommend

Food was very good, great portions and very tasty,but it felt a little cramped,and lacked atmosphere, also the waiters were a little pushy with the drinks,but absolutely couldn't fault the food.
