Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

i like to go here regularly. The food is excellent and prepared infront of you, and you can start eating it within 4-5 minutes! it's NOT your typical "Indian", and there are many different north and south indian dishes to try, which i have never seen in birmingham before DEFINATELY something everyone should try out!

Brilliant. I recently organised a dinner there for 24 of us. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was served fairly quickly, generous portions and delicious. Because the restaurant is BYO, it also keeps the cost down. The total was £214 for the 24 of us, and that was with us ordering more food than we could eat (the nan breads are huge). I would say one of the best currys (let alone baltis) I've had in a while. Really excellent.

The only place in Moseley doing breakfasts now?? Decent food at decent prices. Great for the day after..... Menu says everything fresh, which cant be bad

Friends and I have visited Xaymaca. we all complained about the price of the cocktails and the food. The food was good i will be going back because i told my friend to have her birthday party there. can’t wait

I had a gorgeous steak here, i highly recommend it. Croque monsieur pretty good for a snack, too.

Very nice food with variety choices of food include roast duck / pork and chicken, with the update deco, it is a highly recommended restaurant.

Wow, this place really is unbelievable, the food is to die for, try the sizzling beef and the chicken satay, the service is faultless, the ambience is so cool with totally non-Thai music instead there was funky cuban and Jamaican rhythms ..... I gotta go again real soon

Originally went to try Nepalese food so was a little disappointed that most of the menu was more Indian. However, the food and service were both excellent. I would definitely go again and have I recommended it to all my friends. The Nepalese dishes I tried were excellent. It's not the cheapest place so I wouldn't be able to go there very often unfortunately but I will go for special occasions.

This restaurant is in Hollywood, not Kings Norton really. We regularly frequent this and have always been absolutely delighted by the amazing food and service. This is not a place where you come away from hungry, the quality is 5 star and portions great. I can honestly say this is the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham. Would highly recommend.

Ive been here once before about a year ago and had a great experience, so I thought id give it another try. On the outside this place looks quite run down compared to the other restaurants along ladypool road. The decor is old and reminiscent of a 1980's type indian restaurant. This I think adds to the prestige of the place, no nonsense and to the point- the food does the talking. We entered and found the service to be warm and welcoming- poppadoms placed immediately at the table - mint sauce and spicy onions, I would have liked mango chutney also which was not provided. no matter i asked the waiter what the "signature chicken dish" was and he recommended chicken methi, so i ordered this along with naan bread and also mango lassi- a traditional Indian yoghurt drink. Fabulous!!! The chicken methi was magical- chicken was soft and tender and the spices etc had a fantastic aftertaste, tickling the tastebuds. good portion sizes and the jug of mango lassi was the best ive ever had- magical. i thought the naan bread could have been better, as it was a little thick and dry but no matter. the bill was very reasonable indeed worked out at around nine quid a head. I think this place is brilliant, certainly the food is far superior to some of the more trendier restaurants in town (believe me ive tried all of them Ithiaas, Cafe Lazeez, shimla pinks, blue mango) and i would say though that with all the new contemporary restaurants out there with there fancy decor, lights, plasma screens etc, it was actually a positive to be in an "old school" environment. The chef also came and greeted us- which was nice I would therefore thoroughly recommend this place- I know now where my local curry house is. oh and extra bonus- you can bring your own booze

wow 2 meals for 6 pound i was not expecting much for the money but wow wow hats off to them there i had cottage pie and my wife had liver and onions with real mash potato all home made. give this place a go the pub is a bit run down and could do with some decorating but the food is fab! going back for sunday lunch soon will let you know?

Lovely!! Found the restaurant through the good reviews on Sugar Vine. Thanks Umberto - what wonderful friendly service. We will be back when we are next in Birmingham

A fantastic choice on the menu - need to go back weekly to plough through all the "must have"s. Lots of fish dishes, chicken dishes as well as all the usual pasta/risotto dishes. Definitely the most excellent garlic bread you'll probably ever taste.

I've been going to Azims for years now, usually after a night out with family. The staff are friendly, and its quiet, relaxed atmosphere makes it ideal for talking with family and friends, enjoying good food.

The place to go for authentic dim sum's as this is the place where alot of the local Chinese dine at.

I love the guys who work in Pizza by Goli. I've been going there for birthdays and celebrations with my friends for nearly two years and the guys have never failed to make me laugh and have a good time. They're wonderful, friendly people and the food is brilliant. It's definitely my Number 1 place to go if you're having a birthday meal or just generally out to socialize. Love the place especially the people!

Nice tapas but no main meal such as Paella. A basket of toasted baguette (one) at £2.50 was quite extortionate. We ended up spending £12.50 on bread! for four people. Beware.

Love the food in the Diwan, could never fault it. Jean.
