One of my favourite places to eat curry is at Grameen Khana on Ladypool Road…read more The food is consistently good and they offer a range of Bangladeshi dishes that I haven't seem in other restaurants. Chot Poti is a great vegetarian starter dish (although you'll be struggling to eat all of your main course after). It's a chick pea dish with plenty of chilli and toped with crispy onions and egg. The Desi roast is excellent too; the chicken just falls off the bone. The selection of main courses is great. The specials offer something a little different Shobji Chicken and the Chicken Sashlick Bhuna are great as is the Grameen Special Chicken Balti. Our favourite lamb dish is the Haleem which is like a stew with really soft slow-cooked lamb. You can bring your own drinks and there is an off-license right next door. The Decor is contemporary and spotlessly clean. There is an indoor waterfall and a TV that is usually showing a Bollywood film but without sound. The staff are generally pleasant and efficient. They have a remote control buzzer contraption on the table so you can request service, drinks (non alcoholic) or your bill.

Grameen Khana stands out as a relatively new addition to the Ladypool and let's face it, if you're…read morea curry house on the Ladypool Road standing out is an important part of distinguishing yourself from the many curry houses on offer. Grameen is distincive with it's brightly lit green livery and super fancy water features, giving it a very modern and luxurious appearance. Turns out the place is Bangladeshi and so searching for a bit of authenticity I ordered from the fish menu. After the waiter corrected me on my Bangladeshi pronounciation and warned that this particular dish contained bones, I had the option of going for a more familair choice but stuck to my guns and went with the fish dish, much to the combined admiration and consternation of my fellow diners. A large TV played on the back wall be it muted and the water feature really was quite a novel touch which did attract our eye whilst waiting for our food. The fish dish arrived and was tasty and well marinated, working through the bones, I enjoyed the fleshy bits and we all traded dishes to compliment or query each others choices. What we did notice was that a large Bangladeshi family had take the table at the rear and this was another endorsement of Grameen Khana along with the tasty grub.

I first used this restaurant as a take away because for some reason our usual wasn't available…read more Can't remember why. Came across Radhuni by accident really as I'm usually a creature of habit. The smells coming out of the building always make my stomach rumble, even if I've just eaten. I have to say that in a world stuffed full of similar restaurants, the food from here is really lovely. They do the usual fare, but with lovely subtle twists and the flavours are just gorgeous. I've only ever used it as a take away though so can't comment on the restaurant part. The only thing is that they do take quite a while to deliver. When they say 45 minutes they usually mean that plus a little bit more. It's fine as long as you're aware of this when you order as the food is worth the wait. The first time I used them though we nearly gave up on seeing our food (although they had a new delivery driver apparently) but the owner was very apologetic. Stick with them, they're worth it.

I love Radhuni. Partly because it's 2 minutes walk from my house, but mainly because it's really…read moregood. There is a mind-boggling choice of dishes on the menu and everything I've tried has been great (and believe me, I've tried a few). The dishes I seem to keep coming back to though, are the two fish options, the curiously named Salmon Wait and See, and the slightly hotter Karkri Fish Masala, both of which are excellent, served in thick, delicious and well spiced sauces. Radhuni is also good value, with a meal for two including poppadoms, starters, mains and bread coming in at just under £30. It is also unlicensed so you can bring your own beer. The staff are friendly and happy to accommodate any special requests such as extra chilli etc. and on the odd occasion that we've been too lazy to even drag ourselves off the sofa they have delivered with no issues. The take away food is just as good as that served in the restaurant and if anything the portions are even more generous. In a city full of curry houses, this one is a cut above the rest and definitely worth a visit.

Are you a group of students looking for a cheap meal at the end of a long day and night of…read moredrinking? Or perhaps you are more interested in quantity than quality when it comes to curry. If so, this is the place for you. With a cheap 'meal deal' that includes a starter, main, rice and side dish, this place pulls in the post-pub crowd, especially on a Friday and Saturday night. The presence of curry houses on this stretch of Mansfield Road has greatly diminished in the last few years. Places such as Chand, Himalaya, and Umar-E-Khyam are no more. Even the relatively new Guru closed down a while back. So, we're left with Noor Jahan, which to me is baffling, and only the low prices can explain this. I have given this place several chances, mainly due to the fact that I enjoy Mansfield Road as a drinking area, and finding myself wanting a curry but not wishing to start a trek to another part of town to get one. As i've said, it's cheap. It's redeeming features end there for me. The chicken in the main courses always seems tough, as if it has been cooked twice. The sauces have a slightly odd flavour, something I can't put my finger on. It also seems that most main courses are based on the same sauce, with only small variations to differentiate them. Mansfield Road desperately needs a reasonably priced late-night curry house serving quality food, as Noor Jahan does not fulfil the brief, at least as far as the quality food element is concerned. The only other curry house on this stretch that I know of is called Deva, which I have not visited, but which I have been told some iffy things about in the past. Still, next time i'm in that neck of the woods and can't be bothered to travel for my post-booze curry, I think i'd take my chances at Deva rather than give Noor Jahan another go. I give this place 2 stars...one for the cheapness and quantity of the food, and one for the fact that the service isn't usually too bad. Oh, and the tarka dhal is pretty good, but it doesn't say much about a restaurant when a lentil side dish is the tastiest thing they have to offer. To reiterate what I said at the start though, if you are on a tight budget and / or aren't really fussy about your curry and just need a lot of food to soak up the booze at the end of the night, this could be the place for you...you will not leave hungry, as long as you like the food enough to be able to eat it all.

I found this place by looking for Indian restaurants with plenty of vegan options. Indeed, their…read moremenu makes it pretty clear what is or can be vegan. We arrived around 6pm on a Thursday for dinner, and the place was dead. The interior is fancifully set up, and service is very friendly and professional. We ordered: -Vegan tofu curry (£12.50). This was a creamy, mustardy curry, with chunks of firm tofu (seemingly to resemble paneer), drizzled with coconut milk. Rich, creamy, tangy and balanced. Really nicely done. 4.5/5 -Tawa sabzi (£10). This was a drier dish coated with a mustardy curry paste, with cauliflower, potatoes, green beans and peas. The curry has a bit of a sour tang to it but was well-done. 4/5 -Methi aloo gobi (£10). This was also a drier dish, with a fenugreek-driven curry paste coating the cauliflower and potatoes. It was quite similar to the Tawa sabzi, with that sour tang to it. Also well-done but it was too similar to the aforementioned dish. 4/5 We asked for a spiciness level "just above" what they would ordinarily make, and man was it spicy -- not too much for us but bordering that. Overall, tasty food, great service and a pleasant environment. Recommended.

I wish to caution somebody willing to book in an event with Itihaas, Birmingham. I had a terrible…read moreexperience in trying to recover a deposit refund during COVID and eventually ended in losing £ 3,000 in the process. I had booked a Wedding Event for 300 guests to be held in August 2020. We paid £6000 as a deposit for the catering and venue. It was paid by 2 credit cards @3000 each by me and the bride's mother. Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled with mutual consent due to COVID regulations. As per the prevailing government regulations we were entitled to a full refund barring some expenses incurred by the merchant in the process. We were given a list of expenses incurred amounting to £1494 which were highly manipulated and unreal. We were charged £ 200 for a food tasting event which never happened and charged for the time spend in e-mails, telephone conversation and venue viewing. These, we believed were a part of overhead expenses and were not permissible as expenses incurred by the merchant. We did not receive any services and were entitled to full refund. We still offered a liberal £ 500 to close the dispute but was declined . We were offered a truncated refund of £ 4506 out of £ 6000 as an unconditional offer in April 2020. We had no other option to seek justice and to apply for a charge back from our credit card providers. The process of chargeback was prolonged due to COVID shutdown, and we eventually recovered £ 3000 from one of the credit card providers. Unfortunately, the other credit card providers could not recover our deposit due to delayed and poor representation. We were already frustrated by the ongoing saga and eventually asked Itihaas to honour the initial unconditional offer and pay us the balance of £ 1506 . To our surprise the management refused to pay the balance on the grounds that we used a charge back to seek justice and recover our dues. The management decided to pocket a sum of £ 1506 which was initially offered in the conflict unconditionally. This was extremely appalling, and we felt cheated by the Itihaas management. I will strongly recommend anybody willing to book an event to think twice. You are in for an ordeal and could end up in losing a lot of money.
