We started with the popadoms and Chef's platter for 4 (onion bhajees, samosas, buckrawta parcels and kababs) - so tasty and a good selection to whet your appetite. Then we got the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, tarka dall and naan bread. Good flavor and not too spicy (at least not those dishes - I have heard that their dishes marked spicy are no joke!). Service was very friendly and attentive. They even called us a cab at the end of our meal! Would recommend it!

Thanks to all the Yelpers who provided recommendations!! The location is good, although I reckon there is a fortune to be made selling car parks in the area - seriously they are rare as rockinghorse droppings. Ambience was nice and the staff very accommodating - we were first sat next to a large very noisy group that made it tough for us as two of three at the table were hard of hearing, however the staff were very happy to shift us and we sat in a nice quiet corner. Wednesday night and they were pretty busy, so suggest booking for weekends. Cobra on tap, good wine list from around the world, and passable cocktails. :-D Poppadums and dips to start while we went through the enormous menu! Chefs Sizzler starter is great - bit of all the Tandoori meats, and we followed with Balti Chicken (of course) and two other curries which I could not name - a lamb and a prawn. All in all the meal was excellent, the naan bread possibly the best I have eaten, the roti thin and crispy, and all the curries well flavoured and spiced. Wish we were in town longer so we could do more of the menu! Recommended.

Offering exquisite Indian Cuisine in a pleasant, well-themed setting, this lavish neighbourhood…read morerestaurant is an excellent place to visit for an evening meal with family and friends, not to mention very well-priced too! The restaurant houses two floors of gorgeous furniture and furnishings, its own licensed bar and a friendly waiter service, all of which ensure every visit here is an enjoyable one. Moonlight Cuisine prides itself on its low fat cooking, so there's no guilt in just letting go and really indulging yourself, and the plush chairs and piped, low-level music create a pleasing, authentic Indian ambience. Takeaway and delivery services are available for those who prefer to eat at home, but I'd definitely recommend a meal out here; go for the Chicken Madras!

We were directed to Maharaja, even though they were closed between hours, so we waited until they opened again. Bearing all of our luggage before our train, when they opened, they gladly took our luggage for us and helped us settle in. The service here is what blew me away. They gave us our water while we waited, which we flew through. They also offered suggestions from the menu, which were spot on. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, and another curry dish I don't quite remember. The portions were smaller than what I'm used to, but they came with a selection of either rice or naan, and we chose one for each dish. There was also a creamy mint sauce and a mango chutney that went so well with our curry and naan! They were borderline spicy, but our sinuses were plugged and we requested it! It definitely cleared us out and was perfect! I loved cleaning up with the lemon-scented hot towels they bring, too! When we were about to leave, we poured the rest of the cucumber lime water into our water bottle, and the waiter spotted us and offered to fill our water bottles with fresh water! That was so nice of him. The prices are a little up there, especially when you practically double it for the USD conversion, but the service was so fantastic!

My husband and I decided to go to Purbobagh and what a very pleasant surprise. It was the best…read morerestaurant experience on our trip and some of the best food and service we have received anywhere! It is an average size restaurant with approximately 20 tables all with tablecloths. Our waiter was a man in his late 40's and I believe was the manager. He was very accommodating and eager to please. The menu was extensive. We ordered a bottle of red wine and to start, Papadom. It arrived at our table with a tray of four sauces along with onions, cucumbers and peppers. I ordered the Butter Chicken and my husband asked our waiter what he recommended. Our waiter's face changed from intent to confidence and said, "I have just the dish. Will a medium heat be appropriate?" My husband said yes and the waiter put in our order. We were then brought an appetizer of tandoori chicken on a bed of onions sautéed in spices, including curry, compliments of the waiter. It was delicious! The main dishes arrived and we're served tableside by our waiter. The Butter Chicken was absolutely amazing. My husband's dish was chicken and boiled eggs with spices and a medium spicy sauce. He loved it. The Naan was the size of a large pizza and was light and fluffy. The portions were large and we had the remainder of our meals boxed up. One of the other waiters stopped by our table and said the manager was making a special desert for us. He brought us each a small parfait dish warm on the bottom with vanilla ice cream with a caramel sauce drizzled on top. At the bottom of the dish was a round doughnut type food soaked in a tasty syrup. It was as good as a dessert gets. Throughout our meal, our waiter engaged us in conversation and made us feel welcomed. The whole experience was very enjoyable and I highly recommend Purbobagh to anyone visiting or living in the Birmingham area.

The waiter was incoherent, we couldn't understand what he was saying. The food was really tasty and I enjoyed every dish. But the hospitality of the staff was shocking. They need to realise that this sort of attitude is not acceptable for a high end restaurant. It wouldn't even be acceptable in Macdonalds (no offence maccies - you are my number 1). It was very expensive. Normally I am happy to pay good money for good food. But I didn't feel happy parting with my money this time. Not going back. Sorry.

Non of this is bad, it's just not what I was expecting. It made a nice change. Everyone else in the party seems happy with their choices too.
