However there staff were attentive and showed us to our seats and we were quickly offered drinks. We ordered starters for four people but they brought us for five and said the fifth was for free.

We paid and they asked us to wait as they had complimentary desert for us. After they have complimentary coffee and liqueurs. The whole experience was amazing and I would recommend to everyone.

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!

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.

Sometimes is can take a while for your food to come, but that's because it's being cooked to order, not heated up. The food is delicious, the portions generous, and the menu extensive.

This was our final meal of the decade and the 2010's has been a whirlwind of shitty restaurants and terrible dishes. If our 2020 is as half as good as the Thalis we had we're going to end up rich sipping pina coladas on the sunny beaches of the Maldives whilst our bank account has more numbers than a serial code. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great and my company (dashing amazing funny sexy boyfriend) was perfect. But honestly, A Thali a day will keep the hunger away! Amazing food.

We also love their vegetarian side dishes as they are all delicious. One of the best things about the food is the price - it is great value for money You can collect and save yourself 10% but it is so cheap anyway I don't normally bother. One Christmas I received a complimentary mug from them and it is pretty much my favourite - I love these guys a lot!
