The best restaurants serving Indian food in West Midlands

Our go-to restaurant in the area. Food, drink, service & overall dining experience consistently great. A family run gem with steampunk decor and staff that go above and beyond expectations.

Very disappointing we ordered our meal at 6.30 pm to pick up at 7.30 pm we waited and it wasn’t ready until 8.15 pm. Other customers who ordered online appear to have been prioritised.

Came here this evening, food was lovely, flavors were amazing and was a lovely atmosphere, staff was present polite and helpful, will definitely be returning and recommending

Love this place. Authentic Indian cafe style food and very good prices. Always fresh and very tasty. Decent place for lunch or snacks.

I'd been out with a group of chums to see "Dune: Part 2" (oh, and I have opinions about THAT!) and fancied something appropriately spicy afterwards: The spice must flow! We chose Rumana's on a recommendation from a friend's sister, and I'm glad we did. Their website says they "pride ourselves in treating our customers like members of our family", and it really felt like we were old friends visiting someone's home (especially with the well-behaved kids scooting around and being generally delightful - and I don't even like kids!) I think we were served by Rumana herself, and she was welcoming and helpful - a real pleasure to meet someone so engaged and enthusiastic about their restaurant, and being a great host. The other staff were also very polite and helpful, and knowledgable about the menu. Speaking of which: The menu has a selection of dishes which seem unusual and possibly unique to this restaurant. I won't go into too much detail about my friends' dishes, but all were given the thumbs up. The poppadoms came out first, of course, but the accompanying sauces need some props: Their chili-sauce-gravy thing was incredible (I almost asked if I could take some home). Most curry / balti restaurants in Brum seem to have their own 'red sauce' and it's not often one stands out as being extra-special and worthy of a paragraph of review: This was one of those special sauces. Spicy, tangy (tamarind?), thick, and with a huge amount of flavour. Well done, chef! For a starter, I had Shunamoti: I've never had a cheesy chicken tikka omelette before, but I will certainly have it again (and probably learn to make it at home). Very unusual, and very tasty. for my main, I decided to opt for something at the spicy end of the scale, and had to ask about the story behind "What the Bloody?!" (yes, that is what it is called) - no spoilers! You'll have to find out yourself. It warranted three chilis on the menu (not the hottest thing they serve), but this was a home-cooking 3 chilis and was at the top end of my spice tolerance (which is quite high), so be warned! I can recommend the mango lassi as a wonderful 'control rod' for the naga reaction. However: The dish was not just hot for the sake of being hot, but had a real depth of flavour, too. The accompanying roti was fluffy, fresh and hot. I am also reliably informed that their Peshawari Naan is one of the best my friend had ever had (and they lived in India for a while), drizzled with honey and with juicy sultanas embedded within. The restaurant is unlicensed, but there is a small shop over the road where you can buy booze if you need to. It's also next door to a 'Spoons if you want pre- or post-curry cask ales. Overall, a great experience. Northfield seems to be THE place for getting something authentic, unusual, and very tasty these days (I reviewed the equally excellent Omar Khayam a few weeks ago). I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu at some point: I definitely need to try the Atomic Chips!

The best balti in stoke without a doubt 5 stars everytime the ingredients are fresh and I would never go anywhere else I've been going there for over 35 years they are perfection

This was a gem in Walsall. Jay is warm, friendly and the staff all provided great customer service. My mom who is 81 was really looked after. The food was delicous, very fresh & delicous Masala Dosa, crispy Bajia and all the rest, a great variery of vegetarian/vegan food. Jay's wife is the amazing cook cooking all the dishes. We all enjoyed the visit & miss the place.

Another great meal, authentic, fresh and friendly. Last time was perfect but this time was slightly better. 👍 Thank you team Indian Cottage. Great atmosphere and fantastic cuisine.

I have to say I question the genuineness of some of the reviews on here, we ordered a takeaway at the cost of £35 and had 3 tikka curries 1 house special 1 lamb and 1 chicken all with rices. Previous tikka curries I have had from other establishments have had red coloured sauces these were brown and all 3 curries were very salty. My son couldn’t eat his and it went in the bin however as we had waited an hour and were hungry and hate waste although not enjoyable myself and my partner ate ours. The so called lamb in my curry was so tough it tasted more like beef thank god there wasn’t much of it. Needless to say we won’t be ordering from there again

Food and service excellent. You gotta try the chicken 45 starter... It's bangin! Pricing is reasonable too. Best I've had for a while.

Definitely, would recommend lovely place and atmosphere, tried the breakfast option was very tasty, would suggest to add gluten free options.

Went for dinner on a Wednesday evening, just two of us, food was great and service too. Would definitely come again.

Great attention from the friendly staff, food was exceptional, draft beer good price, all in all a great meal. Both had Lasuni Mirchi Chicken, tasted amazing! Will certainly visit again, looking forward to trying the Lamb Railway curry.
