"This place would not be for everyone but to me has to be one of Birmingham's best kept secrets. The outside of this place is a traditional boozer but as soon as you walk in you are hot with the smell of amazing Indian cooking! We were shown to our table and had our drink orders taken quickly....but don't be expecting restaurant table service this was a full on lean behind and order across the bar near where we were sat. Possibly one of the most relaxed services I have ever seen but the staff could not have done more for us. We ordered a large mixed grill to share and some masala seasoned fries....no I am not joking the food was insanely good. The platter was packed full of chicken, fish and lamb and everything was perfectly cooked and spiced. We had two cokes each while eating and the bill only came to 25! Amazing value and my friend said it was as good as the good she had while visiting India....I have not been but judging from the quality meal we had I want to go ASAP. Now I need to re-illiterate an earlier point this place is not a restaurant....it's a pub serving amazing food that is very much a traditional Brum Boozer. While we were in the place we watched the footy, chatted to some guys crowded round the bar and listened to some people singing football chants (it was some sort of football final) To me this adds to the charm but I know it wouldn't be for everyone. My advice....go here....eat all the meat...."

"I’m from Wales and it’s alien to me how people in England eat so early on a Saturday night? In Newport and Cardiff u go out and have a few beers and go have a curry at midnight/1/2/3am!? Lol x So I came to see a dear friend who lives in Dorset and we had a few beers and he didn’t realise it was 10 o clock? PM!!!! I didn’t see what the panic was until he said, “the restaurants will stop serving by now?” Saturday night??? 22.00??? So I said let’s find an Indian? They’re open til 4am!!! Not in England!!!!!! (Well at least posher places like Dorset He drove to Westbourne and the Westbourne tandoori caught my eye! It’s bright pink from the outside and when u enter they had really good recent music playing… there are roses and elephant heads on the walls. Really unusual… my kind of place! We ordered a garlic chicken dish.. and a Balti and two beers. We were the only ones left there by 22.30 and it was strange coz in Newport Wales it’s just starting to get lively! Lol. We had a lovely chat with the owner Amz? He’s really passionate about his business (good guy! Had a nice meal.. it’s not a negative comment but obviously the price range here and the amount of meat in the dishes are different than my local Indian restaurant in Newport because Southern England is double the price to live! However, the prices are relatable to the area and I would’ve liked a “couple” pieces more chicken. But I’m a spoilt Cheap Welsh lady! So yes, hopefully when we return there will be live entertainment and we will get to meet the great owner again! Mr. Amz!"
