    Jivan's is the bomb…read more I spent much of my college years partying in this horrible town and I never once thought to visit this place. Then one of my good friends in my later years promised me this would be a great place for a curry. So initial thoughts is it definitely looks outdated outside and in but surprisingly it is not all that uncomfortable with the old wooden decor. I will admit in around 20 visits here I have only ever order the one dish and that is the minced lamb curry with naan, it is that good! It is a family run restaurant and they are very awesome folk who work here. I have only ever been during the week so not sure what the weekend rush is like.

    This is my favourite place for curry in Wolverhampton for a few reasons;…read more Very reasonable prices - I recently went with a pal, we had rice and curry each, a nan between us and a pint of indian lager each - it was under a tenner each! Great tasting curry and a good portion served in a balti dish. Their chicken tikka sizzler starter dish is great too (£8.00 but can serve 3/4). Take-away also available. Look on the W/ton council website for the environmental health scores on the doors and Jivans scores one of the highest (4 stars) in the town for excellent food standards and kitchen hygiene. Better score than places that charge twice as much! Its only a small place with formica tables, so its not the sort of place for a special meal, there are far more swankier places to visit - but for a quick curry in a hurry after a real ale session, or a curry before the theatre this place can't be beaten. Great food, good portions, great prices - my favourite place.

    I've submitted a change of name as it should be Cinnamon Court…read more I'm not goint to describe the inside as this has been done well by another reviewer. I almost scored it a 3, but would prefer to score it 3.5, but went for the generous. The online menus don't tie up with the ones at the restaurant. Although not on the menu, I asked for a Mixed Kebab with some fried onions, which they charged me £3.75, which was very reasonable. Most of the meat was fine, not as spicy as I would like, but it is all down to taste. The fried onions arrived separately, and I think they forgot.... Slight browning, to give a hint they had been fried, but they were still undercooked, and I felt that they had been placed in a microwave. Some ot the meat was burnt. The plate I ate my main off was warm, but the food was served in cold dishes. I had a dabal murgh...I think.... about £7.65.... I checked for it on the on-line menu, but couldn't find it. It was very tasty. We ordered three dishes, and mine was judge to be the best...The others had lamb dishes. I tried them and I thought they were good too. Staff were very friendly. I was with someone who has been there many times before, so the owner stopped and chatted. He must be doing very well, as he has a Bentley Convertible outside. I'd still go back but I think I'd be a bit more assertive about the food and the plates. As I say, in comparison to other places... I reckon it is a 3.5. Certainly seemed to attract regulars, by the way they were greeted. Plenty of parking spaces.

    Staying in Walsall and looking for somewhere to eat I found this place on Yelp. Glad I went.

Portions were good, quality excellent and the service was also very good. No complaints and highly recommended.

    Saturday night is my usual Balti night but this week I had to attend family birthday and as Friday…read morewas reserved for Xmas shopping, the only option was Sunday. I turned to the Express & Star for inspiration an there it was, an advert for the Dilshad Blackheath informing all that they had received 5* from Sandwell Council following their food hygiene inspection. This really is no mean feat and on the back of this, not forgetting their £7.95 Sunday Special Offer we decided to give it a go. It was a good start we got a parking space in the lay-by right outside their front door. Putting aside the Xmas decorations the first impressions inside are ok, the garish red, white & black chairs and décor is a bit in your face however it's not too off putting. The tables are finished with proper table linen and clean cutlery. We were offered the menu and then popadoms & glasses for our alcoholic drinks, the service was polite & attentive. Unsurprisingly it was quiet, say less than a quarter full and we could choose our table. Typically I'm moaning about the noise levels in most of my reviews. I'm not a killjoy but why do so many people think it is acceptable to shout at each other across a 3' table for all others to hear? Often made worse with accompanying expletives and raucous inane laughter. It was lovely to have a bit of calm. The Sunday Special consists of a choice from a set menu. It is a limited choice but still a reasonable selection that I guess would suit most. The jalfrezi & tawa were good for us so I didn't have to ask if they would allow minor deviations or if we could pay a little extra to upgrade. . The popadoms arrived promptly; they were unusually crispy and came with three nice sauces and onion salad. The very generously sized portion of two fresh onion bhajis was excellent, it contrasted with the less generous portion of sheek kebab which was also very good but no sizzler. Both came with a simple side salad. The main courses arrived after a respectable wait and very good they were too. Although my jalfrezi sauce was a little on the mild side for my taste, it was my fault, I should have asked for it to livened up however it did have some fresh chillies in it that did the same job. The wife heaped praise on her tawa and unusually for her finished it all off. The chicken tikka in both meals was very moist & tasty. The pillau rice and garlic nan were good too but the chunky yet crispy home style chips (extra charge) were truly excellent. OK, you don't go to an Indian for chips but credit where it is due, these were the best chips I have had in a very long time and they went really well with the curries. Also incl in the offer was a desert, I had a banana fritter and my wife had ice cream which we put together and then shared. The portions were a bit meagre however you can't complain at these prices. A floater coffee (extra charge) finished off a very good evening. The staff were pleasant enough but they didn't seem to engage with the customers, although I prefer this to a how is your meal every 5 minutes. Obviously the ambience is different on a Sunday night but for us it may well become the new Saturday night, especially at these prices and in the relaxed atmosphere.I think it could catch on. Just under 4* but rounded up.

    Well this all started with a bit of a dilemma here, our favourite curry provider in northfield…read morehappens to be take away only so we thought we'd venture onto the high street and try Omar's after receiving a pretty good takeaway from them previously. Why did we wait so long? The decor insode is flush with blue and purple soft lighting and drapes, the waiters were very polite and straight on hand to help with your every need. The menu, well, we'd promised it was a quick bite but starters, mains sides and a forced down desert argued with that one (doggie bags for the left over mains were a life saver!). A range of unusual chefs specials suitable for both veggies and meat eaters alongside the standard brummie curry choices (dopiaza, rogan josh, tikka, bhuna etc...) meant we needed an extra 10 minutes to narrow it down from one of everything on the menu to what we actually wanted! As a sample menu example my choices consisted of: poppadums with mango chutney, mint yoghurt, lime pickle and tomato chilli mixed tikka starter for one Keema meatball curry with extra green chillies (just wow!) garlic pilau rice cheese and chilli naan and a pistachio kulfi to finish (only because we could, there was no room left at this point!) Cobra and Tiger beers were readily available alongside a small selection of spirits. A repeat trip may well be needed to sample the mango lassi here (I'm sure there will be no complaints if the rest of the experience is as good as this vist was)

    I think I am going to say it…read more.. This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Birmingham City Centre! Manzil's is situated about a minutes walk from the Bull Ring and people in the know who know about curry know what I am talking about with this place. When you walk in, you are met with a homely and friendly atmosphere which makes it a delight to eat in. It's an old school curry house which I love. I really like the wallpaper! I have got to know the waiters as I have visited so many times, who are really chatty and are always happy to see you. If you see Hakeem, he loves his Football! The music they play is so random and unexpected. The last visit I made, they were playing Britpop hits of the 1990's haha On this visit, I was with 4 friends from down south who were visiting me for the day, who are tough critics I may add! I had the Chicken Pakora which was a great starter and just the right size to begin the meal. For the main course I had a lovely Dhansak which was really filling with Pilau rice. Manzil's speciality is their sizzling dishes which provides a good alternative if you are not in the mood for a hearty curry. The biggest surprise came when the bill arrived and we split it. One of my friends said "That price wouldn't even get you a starter which isn't half as good as that in London." Says it all really!

    Whilst it's been awhile since I've been here, and if I'm honest every time I've been there it's…read morebeen exceptionally quiet. Like we are the only ones in there quiet. I'd put it down to them doing more sales via delivery. But judging by the reviews of this place it's not a well kept secret. I was brought her as a 'proper curry virgin' by experiences prior had been out of a jar and pub curries. According to a friend this was unacceptable, so off we went. I can't remember what I ordered. I know it was vegetarian and not spicy - I can't do spicy as much as I try. You get a lot for your money, going for an Indian can be an expensive affair but this was reasonable by the amount of food received. The service as well is excellent, always smiling and helpful. I really must go again, I whole heartedly suggest the rest of you do too.
