"For a starter, I chose popadoms with mango dip, which was a perfect choice. Unlike many restaurants that serve popadoms cold and soggy, this restaurant offered them warm and crispy, making for a delightful beginning to our meal. One aspect that could use improvement was the curry that other family members ordered—it had more of a soup-like consistency, though it was still tasty. However, the overall dining experience was enjoyable, and the service was efficient. I truly hope this restaurant receives more positive reviews because it deserves recognition for its quality. Sincerely, the Nash family. P.S.: This hotel is definitely worth a visit!"

"So where do I begin.... I thought I 'd try this establishment again after having a good ish experience, this time As a take away. Please understand I live 2 roads away from this restaurant and waited an hour and 5 minutes for my food! Whilst on the phone to an incompetent manager the food was received and was STONE cold! The excuse was given to me from the manager that yes it is only 25 minutes late what is the big problem which I brought to his attention that it was NOT 25 minutes late as I was told 30 minutes remember 1hour 5minutes! I requested a full refund in which I was called by a senior manager who was at home. This coward of a man is rude, unknowledgeable, incompetent and disgusting and is very lucky he has not met me in person! Especially after hanging up on me because he didn 't like it when I made a fool of his solutions as they were totally a joke. He started the conversation by calling me a liar, suggesting I TEXT him my bank details for a refund to which I declined for obvious reason, he then proceeded to shout and try to be sarcastic! Biggest mistake to make and didn 't like it when I put him in his place. Then demanded I never order from him again and that I was wasting my time as his restaurant was the absolute best I the area! HAHAHA funny mate. After an hour of arguing and him contradicting his own points I made sure he understood that receiving my refund immediately was the best solution as I would take this further. I will be seeing him"

"This restaurant is beautiful and cozy, with a funny and friendly waiter and unique cuisine. I usually don't give 5-star ratings, but this place definitely deserves it. We came in hungry, but left pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. I will definitely be returning here as a regular customer."

"Birmingham is known as one of the two capitals of Indian cuisine in England, alongside Bradford, and is famous for its Balti dishes, with countless Balti houses throughout the city. Amidst this wealth of delicious and affordable Indian food, Pushkar stands out as a more upscale and pricier option that has still managed to build a loyal following. What sets Pushkar apart is its elegant atmosphere, the exceptional quality of its ingredients, and its inventive dessert menu. My first visit to Pushkar happened by chance while I was staying near Brindley Place. Passing by, I decided to take a look at the menu and was intrigued by the duck masala. It surpassed my expectations—the rich tomato-based curry was bursting with flavors of garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red chilies. It was perfectly complemented by basmati rice and a side of raita. Since then, I’ve returned several times and enjoyed every dish I’ve tried. The murgh korma is a standout, offering a luxurious, creamy, and nutty curry that’s ideal if you prefer milder spice. The creative desserts are a particular highlight for me. The gajar ka halwa tart served with pistachio ice cream is my favorite. While the garam masala brûlée didn’t differ much from a classic crème brûlée, with just a subtle hint of cinnamon, it was still very enjoyable. Another unique treat is the chocomosa—a filo samosa filled with chocolate and roasted almonds, accompanied by cappuccino ice cream. I’m left wondering why no one else has thought to create a chocolate samosa before, and how I had never tried one until now. If you find yourself in Birmingham, a visit to Pushkar is a must. The restaurant truly lives up to its accolades, including the 2015 British Curry Award, the 2015 Best of Broad Street Award, and the 2015 English Curry Award."
"This should really be a 5 star review but due to staff not adhering to covid rules it has to be a 3. The quality of food saved it from being a 1. Staff started off with the masks on but shortly after opening they either had the masks on with their nose exposed, hanging from their chins leaving the mouth exposed as well or just hanging around their necks. I did remind them about this and one look shocked and another pulled it up then as he walked away pulled it straight back down. Now onto what this review should be about is the food which definitely did not disappoint. We had the £11.95 offer which is on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. This consists of any starter, any main, any side dish and either rice or naan bread. The food came out hot and tasted really nice. We left with most of our mains and rice as we were full after poppadoms and starters. The portion sizes were bug to say the least. Excellent value for money. The food was finished off with a complimentary drink. As said the face masks aside this would easily be 5 stars"

"Had an incredible experience, the place has completely changed under the new management since last year. We happened to go in by chance and were really surprised by the great service. The team was very pleasant and brought ice cream for the little one. They were attentive and the taste was very delicious. We ordered the Tawa for two and thinking it may have a small portion ordered one dish extra too but the tawa was quite large."

"On arrival we were warmly greeted and seated straight away. Our drinks order was taken and these arrived quickly, we were also able to order poppadoms and pickles whilst deciding on what to eat. If I was to have one slight issue, and this is a common problem with many restaurants, it would be that the soft drinks range should be just as extensive as the alcohol range etc. and of similar size ranges, not just tiny little bottles. As our group had not met up for some considerable time we did take quite a while before placing our main food order, but this was not a problem for the staff as they were available when we required them but they remained in the background and were not pushy or overbearing in trying to get us to place our order. The food menu was wide ranging and well explained, the staff were also more than willing to alter dishes to accommodate dietary requirements where possible and were knowledgable about the ingredients of each dish. The quality of the food was very good and it was evident that care and attention had been put into each and every dish that we had. The food was well presented and portion sizes were plentiful, certainly everyone was very well fed. After our main course was cleared we were provided with hot towels to freshen our hands, and with out bill we received chocolates for everyone. A good time was definitely had by everyone. I thank all the staff at the Joy Raj for a great evening out."

"I'm currently studying for masters disertation and came in here on a quiet Tuesday morning to have breakfast and work. I'd come here before a few weeks ago when the manager was in. He was lovely and let me stay for 4+ hours even though I only ordered a coffee and I'd been raving about how lovely this place was for the past few weeks. This morning I went and arrived at 11:30 and asked to sit in and was told that I could only sit on the bar I pointed to an empty table and the waiter grudgingly allowed me to sit. I was sitting next to two other people on their laptops neither of whom had ordered food. I ordered pancakes and a coffee (asked for no banana on my pancakes) and bottle water, the coffee never came and pancakes had banana on but I left it because the staff seemed stressed. After only an hour and half I was asked to aggressively leave because the cafe has a 2 hour limit. Despite the fact that the person next to me who hadn't ordered food was not moved a long and there was no queue of people waiting. Little did the know I was about to order lunch so they missed out on my service. If you're the lovely manger reading this then I would talk to your staff about the tone they are taking with customers. I understand a 2 hour laptop rule but I was only there for an hour and a half compared to people next to me and I felt like I was picked on. because I was a younger woman working in the cefe covered to the middle aged people sitting next to me."

"A good pub is defined by its quality food and drink, but what truly makes a pub great is the sense of belonging and warmth it offers. From the moment my wife and I stepped into Woolpack Pub, we felt like family. As someone who has always lived in the area, I have a deep appreciation for local establishments. However, my wife, who comes from the north where Indian pubs are less common, was initially anxious about fitting in. Woolpack Pub dispelled all her fears by welcoming us both with open arms. What sets Woolpack Pub apart is its exceptional family-friendly and woman-friendly atmosphere. The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, fostering an environment where all can relax and enjoy. This inclusive and inviting atmosphere is as important as the delicious food and drinks they serve. Woolpack Pub has become our go-to spot, not just because of its great cuisine, but because it treats every customer like a valued member of the community. For its outstanding hospitality and warm, inclusive environment, it’s what makes them so great Additionally, I would like to give a special shout out to Alex for his hardworking service. His dedication and friendliness significantly contribute to the welcoming ambiance that makes Woolpack Pub so special."

"they did not seem to have our online booking and seemed to be distracted on the service page. the sauces with the eating were nice, but I don't like seeing mass produced chicken, as I find it tasteless, as our son had recommended the restruant."

"we had a lunch from this wonderful new restaurant. our mealtimes had high quality ingredients prepared with skills. the portions were generous and there was a suitable ratio of meat to carbs, which meant that the chef had not tried to approve by placing on the meat. the most interesting thing about our meal was that it was quite fragrant: when we opened the box, the fragrant rosewater-infused biryani filled our dining room (think the maximum strength Turkish joy). in that I still have his taste in my mouth. the only disadvantage is that the parking situation can make it a bit difficult to collect a meal."

"The pub is very clean and organized, with a relaxed atmosphere. The beer garden out back is beautiful, especially at sunset. They are following all COVID-19 guidelines. I came with my family and it was welcoming to everyone. I enjoyed the food, especially since they offer a variety of vegetarian options. It's a local spot with great prices, delicious food, and will be my new go-to place to eat!"

"As a person with disabilities, I am almost completely blind and have some trouble walking. Despite my independence, I like to do things for myself. During a recent visit to the restaurant with my husband, I was able to use the restroom on my own without any issue. However, when I returned to the table, a waiter approached me and whispered in my ear while my husband was ordering drinks, stating that I could only have one glass of wine with my dinner and no more, as he had been watching me. This rude and ignorant behavior outraged and disgusted me, prompting us to promptly leave the restaurant. I will not be returning to this establishment."

"This place is unique, I haven 't seen the same combination of churros a and ice-cream anywhere else, so I think you should give it a go! I had the loop&scoop option. The service took a bit too long, I think the kitchen was understaffed. The churro was very tasty, I didn 't like the biscoff ice-cream much, but the nero one (really dark chocolate) was just perfect. I wish I could try their vegan milkshake as well. They had 6 flavours if vegan ice-cream when I visited."

"This restaurant is truly a hidden gem! The food was incredible, packed with flavor and incredibly fresh; the meat was tender and juicy. We sampled a variety of dishes and each one was delicious! The portion sizes were just right, whether it was appetizers, entrees, or sides. The service was excellent; our server was friendly and professional, always attentive to our needs. Overall, it was an amazing experience and if we lived nearby, we would definitely be regulars! I highly recommend trying it if you are in the area!"

"I made the journey from Surrey to pick up takeout from Indian Moment for a much-needed curry to warm up during the winter season and celebrate the festivities. Upon my arrival, I was impressed by the COVID-secure measures in place, such as hand sanitizer at the entrance, everyone wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing. The staff was polite and welcoming as always. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented and packed neatly in containers. We started with meat samosas and tandoori king prawns, followed by a variety of main dishes to share including chicken madras, lamb rogan, and chicken shashlik - all tender, succulent, and full of flavor and heat. We also enjoyed sides of sag aloo, poppadums, assorted breads, chutneys, and side salads. The drive to and from the restaurant was well worth it. I am a fan of good curry and have tried it in many places, but I always come back to Indian Moment - it's not only my favorite, but also a favorite among my family and friends. The dining experience at the restaurant is always great, with a wonderful atmosphere, service, and top-notch food presentation (I would say it's Michelin star quality). Unfortunately, we couldn't dine in this time, but hopefully we will be able to do so again soon."

"We were greeted with papadoms and a variety of sauces including chutney, mango, pickled achaar. The large mix grill had a variety of meat with kebab, chicken, wings and lamb chops which were tasty. Tried the lamb karahi, chicken karahi and ghoust saag. All curries were flavourful with a decent amount of spice, which I enjoyed as it was a good level of spice for me personally. If you are a fan of spicy spicy food, this probably won’t hit the spot. Best naans I have ever had! Recommend opting for these. They are amazingly soft. I loved the mango lassi, sweetness to compliment my meal. Chips were over fried. Beautiful interior, clean toilets and good customer service."
