"Ordered through Just Eat. Customer service was excellent, a member of staff called me on mobile to confirm the delivery address and order which was nice. The delivery man (just eat) was very friendly and professional the food arrived bang on time. I had a lamb Madras, garlic naan keema rice. The meal also came with a free popadom which was nice of them. The Madras was really nice, it was very well balanced for herbs and spices and there was a good amount of lamb which tasted fresh and of a good quality. For my personal preference, the Madras could of been a bit 'hotter ' but of course every restaurant has their own way of making these curries and it was still a great, lots of sauce too which was also good. The naan was good too, a nice size and it actually tasted of garlic. The keema rice however didn 't do it for me, it just didn 't look right, it was quite pale coloured and the mince was a grey sort of colour, it was quite different to other keema rice dishes I 've had. However I can 't complain too much, the meal was excellent value and the staff were great too, plus not everything can be as dine in quality due to the restrictions of course so don 't judge them just for an ok rice dish. The rest of the meal was brilliant. Also the popadom tasted fresh and full of flavour and crunch, I have to say it was probably the best popadom I 've had. So 1) excellent, polite, personal customer service. 2) great service from 'Just Eat ' delivery staff. 3) great quality meal, especially for the price paid. 4) brilliant value for money. 5) most importantly it tasted fresh. Good job guys and thankyou."

"Yesterday evening at 7:30pm we ordered a takeaway from this curry house, local to my Mum. She had used them previously and the curry was good and they delivered on time. (This is the only reason I have given a review of Poor rather than Terrible. On this occasion however, having ordered over £100 of curries and sides, our order took almost 2 hours to be delivered they had said an hour. When we phoned (4 times to find out where the driver was, we were told he'd left and would be with us soon. (They had the full address and postcode and had been there before. They also had my mobile number. When he eventually arrived he had 3 bottles of beer to give us as an apology for his lateness so he obviously was still on the premises when we'd called. So the lateness was an issue as was his tone; as was the fact that when we called the curry house with the driver still with us, they insisted that the manager would not be available until after 22:30 and so they couldn't do anything about the problem. I don't buy that. The curry itself was also an issue. We would have had a far more flavourful curry by cooking one ourselves using Pataks curry paste, if only we'd known earlier! I think they'd run out of spices, and they clearly didn't know Makhani Dahl from Korma sauce, because that's what we'd got. My Karahi (Korai Lamb was bland, more like a stew and the naan bread's were definitely not garlic. I dislike writing bad reviews I just tend to not go back. But this time I felt it necessary as even though we didn't pay the full amount we gave the driver £100 instead of the £112.20 they'd asked for, it really wasn't worth the money we were all just so hungry that there was no other option. I can only imagine that they had new/different staff in from when my Mum last ordered, and they fell apart because it was a Saturday night and had over committed on their deliveries. It's no excuse though, don't waste your money."

"I visited with my wife, on the occasion of my birthday. We stepped into the restaurant 5 mins early for our reservation. Staff seemed to be going in all directions, making eye contact then walking away before I had a chance to say ‘hello, we have a booking’. Eventually, one staff member said ‘table for two?’ and started looking around as if to fit us in. I said that we had a booking, but there was no acknowledgment or this, or request of my name. We were given menus and sat down. We were sat there long enough to order our drinks along with our food. The drinks took a good 20mins to arrive, in fact after poppadoms and pickles were finished and this was one at a time and after prompting. Granted, they were cocktails. A huge opportunity missed for the owner. For me, you get your drinks to your diner asap, often they are thirsty and you get another drinks order my the time the food arrives. We were served by several people while there, often being asked twice about something we’d already ordered, and yet on more than one occasion had to ask for what we wanted, or to order (the couples either side also had this). Overall service appeared chaotic with little communication or organisation tables allocated to staff members would have really helped! NOW despite the apparent chaos, why still the 4 star rating? Well, the food was simply outstanding, some of the best Indian food I’ve tasted. The staff were also lovely, mainly young and were very helpful. I almost feel bad writing the feedback, but they did ask several times if we could please write a review… so I have! To summarise, I hope the management take this in the spirit it is intended, as we enjoyed the food immensely, but with a little front of house organisation, it could have been an amazing dining experience! The food is sooo good! Thanks"

"Birmingham is one of the two capitals of Indian food in England (the other one being Bradford). It is home to Balti dishes, and Balti houses abound all over the city. With so many great-tasting and reasonably-priced Indian food options around, it is quite impressive that a higher end, pricier Indian restaurant like Pushkar has established a loyal clientele. Pushkar sets itself apart from other Indian restaurants in the area due to its upscale setting, the high quality of its food ingredients, and especially its creative dessert offerings. My first dining experience at Pushkar was purely by chance. I was staying near Brindley Place, and happened to be walking past the restaurant, when I decided to stop and check out the menu. The duck masala sounded interesting, so I decided to try it, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The thick tomato-based curry had a fantastic flavor profile that consisted of garlic, ginger, black pepper and red chilies. It paired well with basmati rice and a side of raita. Since my first visit, I have dined at Pushkar a few more times, and have always enjoyed everything I have tried. The murgh korma stands out as a rich, creamy, nutty curry dish that is perfect for you if you are in the mood for something less spicy. The innovative desserts at Pushkar are a major draw for me. The gajar ka halwa tart with pistachio ice cream is my personal favorite. The garam masala brulee sounded interesting, but didn't taste too different from regular crème brulee; the garam masala in it was really only a hint of cinnamon. It still was pretty tasty. The chocomosa is a filo samosa filled with chocolate and roast almonds, and is served with a scoop of cappuccino ice cream. Why had nobody else ever thought of creating a chocolate samosa, and if they did, why had I never eaten one before? Friends, if you find yourselves in Brummy, you must treat yourselves to a meal at Pushkar. It is truly deserving of all of the awards that have been bestowed upon it, including the 2015 British Curry Award, the 2015 Best of Broad Street Award, and the 2015 English Curry Award."
