There is a small reception area where you can take a look at the menu before being shown to your table as well as ordering somepre dinner drinks. The restaurant offers traditional Indian dishes - Bhuna, balties , and masalas with the usual sundries of rice and nann. The service here is top notch with waiters attending to your every need and swiftly clearing the tables. A fantastic cosy restaurant, good quality food and great service. You are also offered a complimentary liqueur after your meal - a nice touch! Can't wait for a revisit!

Hakim the manager engages with the customer to see what they like and is always happy to assist you. We have been going to the Ellora for over a year and all of the waiters know us and what we like. Shahid who normally takes our order rarely has to change as we have the same meal week in week out because it's so good and he remembers our order so well. The food is well, how can u put it, superb! there has rarely been occasion when the food has had an off week and had a slight and I put emphasis on slight fall in standards (I think this was due to a change in supplier) but has since well excelled its usual expectations we go to the Ellora every Tuesday and Friday personally I have the chicken tikka bhuna (I know this isn't very hot) but has bags of taste. The bar while I'm currently underage by two years, the bar is fully stocked and they offer Cobra as their main beer and an special beer cider which accompanies curries. Plus wines and spirits. The restaurant is open till 3am if busy if not they usually close around 11-1am that region. However weekends are their peak they usually get buisy on a Friday night so I'd book if I were you. Just phone them up and tell them you'd like to book etc. The curry house is situated next to a popular pub and hotel on Knowle high street I would fully recommend this to any person looking for a meal in Knowle

They have an extensive menu that includes some speciality dishes. I've tended to go there either early or mid evening with my family, plus on another occasion recently I went to a charity fundraising event there where a special 3 course menu had been prepared. The staff are extremely professional and seem to know a lot of regular customers. The place is very popular but if you go there early in the evening you may not need to book. There is a large public carpark at the rear of the restaurant. The carpark is free in the evening and also free for the first 2 or 3 hours in the daytime but you must get a ticket from the machine and display it in your vehicle.

The butter chicken, a classic favourite, was unrecognisably in flavor, missing the rich, creamy taste it's known for. Moreover, the naan bread, usually a simple yet delightful part of any Indian meal, was of poor quality. This was one of the worst food experiences I've had in recent times, especially from a delivery perspective. It was disheartening to see such a lack of attention to detail and quality in the food prepared by Panchuli Restaurant.

The Rajnagar is a tough find but well worth the journey, the layout and decor is of any Indian restaurant. The food however is a touch above, a starter of tandoor coley was delicious.

He prawns were so tender and sweet, impressive cooking. For mains I had a mixed curry, paspuran Korahi, prawn, lamb and chicken in a tomato sauce. Medium spiced it was delicious.

We ordered a few different dishes, mostly to share including eggplant curry, a paneer curry, and chicken with two sauces. We started by sharing the ostrich - super unique, but it was expensive and difficult to discern that it was a meat I hadn't tried before. The curries were tasty and well flavoured, as was the rice we got on the side. My stepdad's dish came with rice already on a neat, complete plate. The naan was pretty good, although not my favourite I've ever had. We had chai to finish the meal, which was a bit over-creamy for me, but that's likely due to Canadian milk not having as high a fat percentage as English milk, for the most part. A good, solid Indian meal in an enjoyable atmosphere.

Therefore Shirley Spice is possibly one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in Shirley, and as an Indian I know what good Indian food tastes like. Here, the food tastes more or less like a proper curry. Even though I've got a sweet tooth, spicy food is lovely too. My personal favourites are the Korma or Madras with Pilau rice and Peshwari nan bread. The atmosphere is nice for a casual meal and/or family night out. The restaurant doesn't get too busy either so there's usually enough room. The bar quenches your thirst at a slightly costly price. Experience has taught it's better to go in the evening than for lunch as the youths come here in the day which can be off putting and possibly a little intimidating. You must be wondering about the menu and prices? I'm won't post the whole menu so here's a rough breakdown. The decently proportione dishes are all typical are traditional. Starters and deserts range from three to five pounds, mains cost approximately ten pounds.
