"the third time when eating in social dhaba, great atmosphere, beautifully decorated, personal was really friendly and polite. they've checked us a lot, but not intrusive. eating was delicious, but as always we had ordered some appetizers and they were all quite spicy, even for the chili lovers of our party. we drank a lot of boundless water. Please note that it is not ideal for younger children who cannot tolerate cold heat. but social dhaba I am back!"

"This is a slightly weird place. It 's essentially an Indian restaurant, but housed in a seen better days pub. When you walk in you 're confronted by a somewhat scruffy pub bar to your right and a big dining area to your left. It all has a rather shabby air to it. Not only is it rather strange, but it 's also very cold! The heating comes from aircon style blowers above the room, which means that the lower levels don 't get warm. My feet were cold the whole time I was there. As the theme is Indian food, I decided to try a chicken tikka dish with spinach, which was marked as a new dish on the menu. Oh dear, that was a bad choice. The chicken pieces had tikka colour, but virtually no tikka flavour. The creamy spinach sauce was very bland and uninspiring. The poppadum chutneys were good, though. Prices are reasonable and portion sizes are good, but that counts for nothing if the food particularly Indian food is bland and lacklustre."

"A group of friends and I visited Glasgow and stumbled upon this charming restaurant. I was impressed by the beautiful paintings on the walls that brought back childhood memories. However, the food was a letdown. We ordered fish pakora and chili chicken, but the presentation of the chili chicken was unconventional and not to our liking. The taste was also disappointing. The Gol Goppa was a standout dish. The chicken Chettinadu and prawn korma were okay, but lacked authenticity. The biryani was overly buttery, overshadowing the spices and fragrance. The naan was the highlight of the meal. The staff was polite and the service was efficient. Overall, this restaurant may not be suitable for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine."

"Been going here for a rew years and our most recent visit was possibly the worst of the lot. Noise The decor is minimal on the floor and walls so acoustics totally screwed. Just a wall of noise with each table competing to be heard over the next one. Space if you sit in the middle of the restaurant you are simply pinned in. No room to move/ change seating position, just pinned in for the duration of the meal. Price I am happy to pay that little bit extra for above average menu items. The food served is ok, but the prices are inflated and really not justified. The beers are just short of 8.00 per bottle, what the mark up is anyone’s guess but the consumer ain’t the winner! Overall the Mango Lounge has lost its way and its pricing strategy (making too much profit at the cost of not really valuing custom) But this is Windsor and there appears to be no evidence of a credit crunch so you can get away with murder!"

"The best place for South Indian tiffin in Birmingham, without a doubt. I have had a few visits and the food quality has been consistent. Interestingly, they serve the longest dosa in Europe, which is called the Chennai Dosa special. You should not miss it. Bit pricey but the food quality justifies it. Recommended!"

"We went out for a friend's 40th birthday dinner, and while the food was enjoyable, the service left much to be desired. We had confirmed beforehand that we could bring a cake, but although they allowed it, they refused to serve it for us. When we asked for a knife to cut the cake, the woman at the bar was incredibly rude. She claimed she didn't have a knife and would not even attempt to find one when I asked. However, when her colleague came over, he quickly found a knife right behind the bar, in the very spot where she had been standing. She seemed uninterested that she had been caught in her unhelpfulness and simply looked away. I brought this issue to the attention of the manager at the end of the evening, and he promised to address it with her, so hopefully, it’s just a case of one staff member being unprofessional."

"Joy is our favourite local curry house. We come as a family or with bigger groups. Plenty of space and tables of different sizes and configurations. We like that there are many round tables. Wide ranging menu with some different specials to the normal. We used to come for special occasions now it is our first choice even without a reason."

"I've eaten here a few times with my partner and always been blown away by the food, so for my birthday this year I thought I'd arrange a meal with some friends to share the deliciousness with loved ones. Big mistake. The restaurant clearly don't want to cater for large parties (there were 12 adults and 4 kids in our group . We booked an early table at 5pm to make this easier for the restaurant and free up the space for evening diners. From the moment of our arrival we were treated with utter contempt, bits of our order never turned up, drinks took ages to arrive. When it came to leaving, we were told we had underpaid by £25 but previously the waitress had said we had completely covered before I'd even paid my portion so the £25 I paid for my meal was essential the tip (way more than 10% . The hostile manager wouldn't let us leave and insisted we pay the missing money plus a tip. After we left we checked all our receipts (though most of us paid in cash , added them up and saw we had indeed been swindled. I am genuinely devastated because I have loved eating here until this point, but I won't be going back because of the way we were treated. If you are a solo diner or couple then please do visit because the food is absolutely out of this world, but if you are a large party please avoid the awful experience I was unfortunate to have at the hands of such a grumpy man completely devoid of human kindness (who really shouldn't be front of house ."

"Let's see, walked in and was calm, played music and was served by the waiter who sat on us. Both waiters and managers were kind, they gave us honest opinions about the food, and when they thought something would not fit our range, they told us. The food was fast and the service flew as it should. It is a shame that there were only 3 other tables of 3 and 5. An atmosphere would have created a perfect evening. I say I can't blame food, drink, service or hygiene. The fact that they show a window in the kitchen only builds my confidence that the hygiene standard it in the entire restaurant and not just the front. We will definitely return as I now have one of their loyalty cards and get both offers and points. Maybe we'll bring some more people. On a last note, the manager spoke to us about a Rajesh Khana Tribute Night, would like to go there for this. It seems to be an ongoing monthly event. Can wait until they start."

"My wife and I have already experienced the lovely food fayres of this restaurant. We had visited a few years ago in a six person party. On this occasion we visited with close friends and we were not let down. The refurbished restaurant is lovely and the food surpassed our expectations. Our starters were chosen after a while deliberating and consisted of a prawn kati roll, a chicken tikka, a chicken chaat and an onion bhajia. Four different starters and all so well cooked. Just lovely we all mentioned. Our main choices included a lamb jalfrezi superb , 2 x chicken manchoozi superb and a chicken tikka masala very tasty We opted for onion rice, egg rice, plain naan and a keema naan which again were delicious and fresh and light. The flavours of all of our food were delicious and very well spiced, but definitely not over bearing, juts tasty and right.....if only this restaurant was near to home we would be there every week. It is an absolute must for anyone visiting this area who fancies a very nice Indian meal."

"Unwelcoming. Very slow service, had to ask a person who worked in the back who was not a waiter to serve us and he was very nice, if he hadn't done so we would have left. They should employ him as front man! Wrong dish was served. Service was unfriendly, like we were not wanted there. As they served the wrong dish I had to eat my food after the person accompanying me had finished his. Is a large restaurant which is a little chilly, absolutely no effort by the waiters and no ambience, there was some background music but could hardly hear it. Shame because the food is very good and has been since they opened. No good for couples."

"This restaurant has really gone downhill over the years. The hygiene is lacking, which is a shame because the host was very hospitable. Once seated, we were handed menus which were dirty and sticky. Ordered the drinks, they came in glasses which were marked and sticky down the side. The drink was room temperature flat pop. The food that came didn’t taste bad, but it certainly wasn’t “good”. Very small portion of rice which the curry drowned if you were to pour it all on your plate. Bread was burnt and tasteless. Went to the men’s bathroom by mistake, my god it was stinking. Stunk of urine and it was dirty! I was disgusted by the soap on the sink, how they thought it was ok to leave this filthy black god knows how old bar of soap there for customers. Whole place needs a good bleaching! They’re meant to be rated 4 by the food standards agency but it needs updating!"

"In the last year it has been opened we have been to Msala library probably four or five times, during summer or winter, eat in, take away or in the terrace it has never disappointed. What I love about it is how fresh the food feels in your mouth and how ungreasy it is. Besides the undoubted quality of the food, I really appreciate how humble and friendly the hosts and personnel are. I'm really so glad Msala is round the corner from us!"

"We had an amazing time celebrating my father’s 90th birthday on Saturday 4th November. Everything was perfect! The pod was lovely and warm being able to play the music of our choice was wonderful as we could put on Dad’s favourites. Now to the food, it was just incredible and each bite was a flavour sensation. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and everyone enjoyed the dish they had chosen. Our waiter Bala really looked after us well too. The whole experience made sure that this is a memory that we will treasure for years to come."
