Fab food and attentive staff. Thank you x x x
Another fantastic meal and fantastic service! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Amazing food and service. Best selection on menu and the best sharing platters ever had at an Indian. Would recommend!
Simplement le meilleur indien de ma vie des saveurs subtiles une belle présentation, juste parfait
This is the second time I’ve eaten here and I wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. The food was fantastic and the service was too! Really friendly and I think reasonably priced. I went with a lamb and potato dish recommended by the waiter and it was really tasty with melt in the mouth meat and potatoes (really yummy). The Dahl (side dish) was fab too and also the naan bread. I could eat it all again now!
Delicious food and great service. We had a great time and I’d definitely come back
Only problem is the service charge that goes to the management and not the staff. All tips have to be handed in and do go to the staff.
Brilliant great staff, great food at a good price :)
We booked on a quiet Wednesday night so the restaurant wasn’t full,the food was beautifully cooked and well presented,I loved the tandoori king prawns.the service was ok but they kept asking,about 5 times in as many minutes was we ready to order even though we told them we wasn’t,felt kind of rushed.the bill for 5 people came to £166 that’s for drinks poppadoms,starters and main which is what you kind of expect to pay in a “posh” curry house but they add a service charge of 10% on tables of 5 or more which they say is compulsory but I didn’t pay this but I did leave a tip.they did get a bit upset over me not paying the service charge which I thought put a downer on what was a nice visit to a nice restaurant serving a decent curry.would I return,yes I would but only if there was 4 or less people on my table
It's disappointing that the web site prices are up to date and there a service charge added to the bill on a table for two, Food and service was very good, salmon tikka excellent
Amazing food, not too pricey at all for the quality. Very accomodating too.
Lovely meal, well cooked, great service and pleasant atmosphere. Thanks
Brill staff, beautiful food! Awesome! Thank you very much, will definitely be returning
A very good meal. Portions a little small but quality excellent.
Some of the best Indian food I've eaten, highly recommend
Absolutely spot on the best between Birmingham and lands end
Overall food was average and lacking any real flavour. Many better Indian restaurants in Birmingham for a fraction of the price.
Consistently fabulous experience. Food and service are both outstanding. Would definitely recommend a visit.
High quality ingredients food is cooked perfectly had lamb biryani tender and flavoursome... friendly attentive service recommend visit.
an excellent meal - staff extremely attentive - would highly recommend
Excellent food, excellent service. Great choices- loved it!!! Staff were impeccable.
Really enjoyed the whole experience - the food, venue, atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
We had the James special. Average at best. Nan breads covered in gee. Cobra 660ml at £6 a pop. Save your money there's much better curry houses in Birmingham.
Took my brother for a birthday meal, he had never been before, and he really enjoyed his meal
Went for dinner on Friday evening. Food was delicious and service good.
Excellent food and a high class service. As soon an me and my guest walked In we were greet to are table. Friendly staff. Always asked of everything was okay
No bad words to say about James Dahl, the only thing I’d advise is to let customers know in advance about a set menu
The restaurant was perfect....friendly and professional. The food was great. Service was spot on....attentive without being overbearing. Would happily return here and certainly recommend it.
Average food, overpriced, very small servings (even of the rice!), automatically added service charge to the bill which is just an ignorant practice. Not a restaurant i would return to unfortunately.
Found this restaurant when on a weekend away in Birmingham. Booked a table online about 2 hours before arriving. Very busy when we arrived but table was ready for us. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Menu was decent with a good selection of dishes. The food was really tasty with good sized portions. Had no complaints with anything. Overall I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great ambiance and service. Four of us shared mostly veggie dishes and side dishes; all tasted excellent. We'll go back next time we're in Birmingham!
Food was fantastic. Great atmosphere and attentive staff. Can’t wait to go back! Almost considered going back the next day! Good value for money too.
In our view this was a truly exceptional evening - the warmth of the welcome, the quality of the food, the finest ingredients & the most friendly yet professional service. One of the best Asian food experiences we have ever had
Nice ambiance with fairly attentive service. They were happy for me to push the table back 10 minutes as the show we were at ran over. My curry (pathia) was very tasty with just the right amount of cheekiness. I'd go back and I guess that's the best treatment I can give.
Great service. Speedy service to table. Delicious food. Will definitely be back and would recommend to family and friends. Decor lovely and establishment clean an well maintaine.
Excellent food and service. Would gave scored 6 but for the fact there was a short wait for our table on arrival as it needed making up. Also a bit on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Excellent overall would go back
Great restaurant. Good meal and friendly waiters. Had the balti. Jalfrezi. Madras and tikka and all really good. Good setting. Nice and clean. Only disadvantage was the tip is added to the bill.
I was advised by waiter that it wasn’t find dining like their other restaurant blanc nri when I told him that’s why I had gone there . Having said that food was lovely although food yes not quite as good as at blanc . Service was very good but did feel hurried at times . It was early Saturday evening though and looked busy so they probably had lots of bookings . Overall lovely meal lovely surroundings and reasonably priced
Outstanding food and service to match. Will be visiting again soon. Lovely decor, helpful and attentive staff and couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you for a beautiful evening
Excellent food - James Dahl special was light, full of flavour and not a sign of any ghee !!!! Highly recommended the Okra and all in all a great value Indian meal. Alastair,Tracy,Dave & Sally
Fabulous service and food! There is nothing to fault at this restaurant! Highly recommend this place. Hubble and I had an amazing night out. Thank you.
The service was very good. The food was very good and the portions just right. It is a great location near the centre of Birmingham.
Whenever we go to the theatre we have to eat here. The food is absolutely brilliant and the service is excellent and staff are very attentive.
Love this restaurant- the food was fabulous and the restaurant was very smart. It’s also very handy for the Hippodrome. We will definitely be returning.
Food & service both excellent. Staff were made aware that we were on a tight time schedule to go to the theatre and were able to accommodate our request in a polite and courteous way.
Great food and such great service. Just fabulous. We booked a post theatre meal and found this gem of a restaurant. Tastefully decorated throughout. Will def return
Very nicely presented food. Restaurant not too big and friendly service. Good quality food. Had the James special and the Original Harsha or something like that.
