"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 ;"

"My partner and I visited here on a date night tonight. Situated within the Great Western Hotel by St David's train station. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants over the years, in both Exeter and the West Midlands where I am originally from. Being a Chef myself, I love to make my own curries both at home and as specials in the place I work. Because of this, I can be hard to please when it comes to dining out for a curry. Sadly, a lot of places in Exeter don't live up to what I had hoped for, compared to so many of the amazing Indian restaurants in the Midlands, but Karma is not only an exception, but an absolute gem! Fantastic service and the flavours, spices and aromas from the food are simply divine! I had the Lamb Karahi Gosht with Mushroom Rice, my partner had the Chicken Dhansak with Garlic Rice and we shared Garlic and Coriander Naan breads. Sometimes I have had Lamb curries where the Lamb has either been undercooked and chewy or overcooked and dry. I am pleased to say the Lamb here is cooked to perfection! My partner said her Chicken was also cooked perfectly. Both dishes were labelled as medium and were just that. As a fan of Indian food for many years, I have to say if you are in Exeter (I'm lucky, I live here) and you are looking for top notch Indian cuisine then you need to visit this place. Wonderful service, excellent food and very reasonably priced compared to other places closer to the city centre. Well worth a visit and we will be returning again soon!"
