"This place was in my wishlist for a while, had heard quite a lot about Tipu Sultan. If you live in or around Birmingham and talk about Indian Cuisine or Indian Restaurants you could be sure that you will get to hear about this one and for right reasons. We arrived there late around 9:30 pm on a weekday (It was a Monday actually and we were surprised to see it was still almost full,and this place is quite large, so expect bit of wait time if you head to this one on a weekend. Decor from outside doesn't look too great however the moment you walked in, it catches your eyes. Beautifully done, Lavishly decorated and Lovely Ambience specially those red lights and classic fort like antiques.After having a look at the drinks menu,you could be surprised that there's no alcoholic beverage,None. Yes that's right. Plenty of nice non-alcoholic options are available though to quench your thirst. We ordered a cocalada (Pineapple,Vanilla and Coconut and another drink which were quite refreshing.Lamb Chops as a starter were too good, It's also hailed as Tipu Sultan's signature dish. We had Hyderabadi Chicken Handi along with ever favourite Garlic Naan and a Murgh Biryani.Quantity was enough to serve 2, Naan was huge and tasty. Handi Chicken was good but was a bit dry to my liking, a little bit of gravy would have been great. Biryani was alright not really great. Another stand out thing about this place was cleanliness and courteous staff, they are friendly and polite. We finished off with a Black Currant Ice Cream and had really nice time at Tipu's. We even decided to get Nihari Gosht and a Naan packed for home. Awesome Place, Great Food and Nice Value for Money. Going again this week ;"

"Arrived in London late and hungry. We still had to check in to our hotel and had noticed, on the Yelp App, that Salt was not far. We asked the front desk guy about it but apparently he wasn 't a fan. He referred to it as where night people went. Not sure what he meant by that at the time but, it was night and I was hungry so, I guess that made me one of them. Left our things in the room and walked to Salt. As we approached the restaurant we realized what he meant. We were in a middle eastern part of town and this place was packed even though it was already 10pm on a weekday. The people at the outside tables were smoking hookah, having delicious looking Nan bread with dipping sauces, and everyone seemed to be having a great, relaxing time. Seemed like a great place so far. Went in and liked it even more. Plenty of tables all around, beautiful and very organized full bar (with a long list of whiskeys), and we were seated immediately. Took me a while to decide on what to eat, they have a good variety of dishes on their menu, mostly Indian cuisine but there some dishes for people who prefer things like a burger or fish and chips. Finally decided on their Chicken wrap, and we also ordered a lamb wrap and potato cake. While we waited for the food we got our drinks... vodka soda and a Campari Spritzer. The food came out fairly fast and hot. Big portions and Big flavors. The Chicken wrap had a delicious curry taste, and you can ask for it to made with nan instead of a regular wrap bread . The Nan makes a huge difference, trust me. Made me want to ask for more on the side but I refrained as what we had on the table was more than enough already. It comes with a mint sauce on the side but, I enjoyed it more with the yogurt sauce from the potato pancake. Which were very tasty too! Our server came over from time to time to bring us new drinks, refill our waters and make sure food was to our liking. So glad we didn 't listen to the guy at the hotel. As mentioned it was my first night in London, and so far it started on a great note. Definitely a place I would recommend!"
