"We had made a reservation at The Wilderness a while back, but unfortunately our plans were disrupted by COVID. Finally, we were able to visit for lunch on Saturday, and it was definitely worth the wait. We chose the ten-course tasting menu along with a couple of glasses of their 'hacked' wines. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with a complimentary glass of Prosecco and water, and our meal began. The variety of dishes was outstanding; from crispy pig cheek with apricot gel, to steak tartare, turbot, and mackerel. Standout dishes included a delicious beetroot ice-cream with a rich ajoblanco, and a fantastic mushroom and 'bread pudding' that was like a gourmet version of mushrooms on toast. The service was excellent, each course was tasty, and the wines, especially the Chardonnay 2.0 and the Vermouth, were top-notch. While the meal was on the pricier side, the quality of the food, service, ambiance, and music made it all worthwhile."

"We have dined here many times, the food and service always excellent. Starters came with a well dressed salad and were wonderful, I recommend the Nazacat -succulent chicken. For mains had Lime and coconut chicken which was delicately spiced and fragrant with coconut and a hint of lime, the chicken was high quality and generous. Accompaniments very good indeed beautiful Nan and mushroom rice. Advise booking a table at weekends"

"What a fabulous little gem this place is! Hidden in the deepest, darkest backstreets of Digbeth (well, that might be an exaggeration but it is away from the main drag , this little Tapas joint only came to my attention via Twitter. After hearing some of the Birmingham Twitterati talk about a hot new venue, I knew we had to be one of the first people to go and try it! Firstly, let's talk booking. I had messed up with the night I had originally planned to take the guys and had put the event down as a Tuesday night (when they aren't open . Erica G. had handily spotted my mistake and spurred me into action booking the venue. I messaged them via their Facebook page and got a response almost instantaneously. Although they weren't open the night I had specified, they offered to open up as a private party for us (which is available to anyone , but I figured the minimum spend of £200 might be a tad unachievable for the amount of people that wanted to come along. After a new date was decided, I got in contact and booked for 10 people. Over the next week or so, that quickly became 12 people, which became 14... On the day itself I had to change the booking for 19 people; but they were fantastic and accommodating throughout the whole process and insisted that I wasn't being a pain (which I was! . The table was booked for 7:30, but I decided it would be prudent to get down a little earlier to ensure everyone knew we were there. We were greeted warmly and shown to our large table put together to fit the majority of our group. The venue is BYOB and we were given glasses and our bottles were opened whilst we waited for everyone to arrive. The venue isn't the Ritz. It has a lovely warm charm (like sitting in someones kitchen and the mismatched furniture, pictures on the walls and large hand drawn chalkboard really make you feel at home. The service matches the decor... Friendly, helpful and chirpy throughout; I did feel like I'd been invited around for dinner at a friends house. When we were all ready to order, our choices were very prudently noted down next to our names and the whole process was done quickly and efficiently. Their are other options on offer, but with the Tapas being 3 dishes for £10, it's a great way to try lots of things off the menu without breaking the bank. I went for quail, gambas and meatballs and waited excitedly for the food to be bought out! The menu offers lots of meat and vegetarian choice. As we had a vegetarian dining with us, this was greatly appreciated. Whilst we were waiting we were treated to some warm bread from the kitchen... This was a lovely touch and went down a storm. Everyone's food came out fairly swiftly (no mean feat when catering for such a large group . All of my choices ended up being divine. The Quail was a WHOLE QUAIL and all of the dishes were served in delicious sauces with just the right amount of spice. I couldn't fit a dessert in at the end... I was just too stuffed. So, as a summary... The booking; easy as pie. The service; warm and friendly. The venue; welcoming and homely and the food.... Simply divine. My bill came to £10 (as described and I would expect a meal like that would cost you at least double (if not triple elsewhere. The restaurant is planning to open on more evenings and get a license to serve drinks. My advice is to book and try it now before it becomes impossible to get a table."

"One of the few places in Birmingham where food gets as much importance as the ambiance and the service. Their afternoon weekday buffets are a steal but for the real deal you need to go a la carte. The evenings are always vibrant and a place to be seen. A very professional restaurant that takes you on a culinary journey from the moment to enter till the time you leave. Done up beautifully with a separate waiting, bar, and restaurant area, Asha's, as you might have guessed by now, is named after the famous Indian singer Asha Bhosle (I believe she has a stake in the chain). Keeping in tune with the regions reputation of providing exceptional sub-continental food, Asha's has a variety...read more"

"First time to Asha’s, and it did not disappoint. Service was second to none, everyone was polite and smiled. However, could have been 5 stars if cocktails were tailored to requirements. Food was great, the desserts on the afternoon tea menu were too sweet and could have been choice of Indian desserts. Overall Asha lived up to the hype I expected and I will be back again."
