  • 5 star review  Best curry I have ever had, it was outstanding! Very swish restaurant with a lovely vibe, but we went with our two children as we were staying locally and they were made to feel very welcome too. They made a special mild curry just for the children :) Will definitely be back if we go back to Birmingham!
