    Superb food! Staff very attentive and hospitable. Help with food choices and guidance towards new dishes. Would highly recommend and will be returning ourselves. An unexpected surprise and certainly a hidden gem.

    This was an absolutley wonderful experience. The service and the food felt like a Michelin Star experience. I am sure in a couple of years that this brand will be put of my reach. Perfect in every way

    I initially booked for 9, then 11 and finally 13 for a work get together. I'm embarrassed to say I cant remember the chaps name, he was brilliant. Rather than let the 13 of us start ordering like loons he took over, don't be put off by this. He organised starters, rice and naan, we ordered our choice of main. It worked out perfect. Nothing was wasted, no one was hungry and we all really enjoyed our visit. I cant recommend enough. Will definitely be returning.

    A hidden gem, this place is the best curry in Birmingham. And one of my favourites across the UK. Recently here on business and just had to visit. Fabulous.

    Phenomenal food, great size portions (particularly the small bites side of the menu) that make sharing a delight, and excellent service, at least from the two men who served us (the restaurant manager and another waiter). Both were fun, friendly and gave excellent recommendations, tailoring them to everyone’s tastes and balancing the vegan and non-vegan people in our group.
