The reason this restaurant doesn't have many ratings is because Europeans post to Trip Advisor, not…read moreto Yelp. Hopefully Americans will see this post and realize that. On Trip Advisor, this restaurant had over 230 ratings with a rating of 4.5/5. My wife and I had the Chicken Masala, a chicken curry dish, a cauliflower potato veggie, and a coconut and almond naan- Peshwari Naan. And it was all excellent. Give this restaurant a chance. They have friendly, great service with delicious food. It was a welcome change from the "typical" English food that we had eaten while in London.

Food was amazing! Service was a bit more leisurely than we usually like but it was a lovely evening.read more

A Wednesday evening..... 1/6/16…read more The 2 stars are for the staff, starters, and the price of the wine. First, if I had realised that the Food Standards' Agency had rated the place as a "2", then I perhaps wouldn't have gone. Friends of ours keep rating the place, which is slightly cheaper than the Redolence Spice on Unicorn Hill. Right, deal with the positives: Extremely friendly and attentive staff and good with our kids. The place place had quite a number of full tables, but they accommodated us very quickly. The wine was reasonably priced for a restaurant. I'll just deal with my meal first: Starter: Tetul Mix, and I asked for some fried onions, and these were added, and extremely tasty dish. I wanted to go for the Chicken Tikka Rezella, however I didn't want the bhindi. I was persuaded, by the waiter, to try the Chicken Tikka Naga Shiri. I asked if it had onions and peppers, as I am not a "just a sauce with meat" person. I was assured it did. What I wasn't expecting was the onions and peppers to have them puréed. My first bite into the chicken revealed it to be either overcooked, or old and cooked. It was tough. I battled through. I asked the waiter if the chicken was fresh, or frozen chicken defrosted and then cooked. He assured me it was fresh. My son's meal (Chicken Tikka Chasni) wasn't a lot better, and the sauce just bounced off the meat; another sign that we are dealing with previously frozen meat, and that the meat had been boiled in a large pot (possibly) with turmeric to give it the tikka look. My wife was disappointed with her Chicken Tikka Madra too. My daughter's Shahi Malai had a very unusual sauce in the middle. They didn't do draught cobra, so had the large bottles. I think we all agreed that the starters were good and tasty. Total cost: £80. Unfortunately, we have to say we will not return; my friends will still go due the cheaper price. Redolence Spice is about £1.50 per main meal more expensive, but we know they use fresh produce, not bags of frozen meat purchased from the Chinese market in Birmingham. Plus they have a "5" from the Food Standards' Agency. Also note that the only place to park nearby is the pay and display car park at the Redditch railway station.

A great Indian restaurant next to the cross roads in Bidford…read more The service is exceptional, with the staff members all being happy, friendly and polite. The food that they offer is amazing, and if there is anything that you want that they dont' have on the menu they can normally make it for you. As with the majority of places along the river front in Bidford it was affected by the floods of last year, meaning a complete refurbishment and this has definitely had a positive effect. The decor is modern and clean, the seats are comfortable and there is plenty of space so you do not feel like you are squeezed in. They also offer a take away service, and normally the time that they tell you to turn up to pick it up is spot on, meaning that you do not have to wait around for ages. At the entrance to the restaurant they have really comfortable sofas, either for people waiting to takeaway or people waiting to be seated, though these are normally free due to there being plenty of seating and the fact that the food is ready when they say it will be. This Indian is so good that my sister even used to make a 30 mile round trip just to get food from here. I cannot recommend it enough.

Recent Visit 9/11/12 I hadn't realised it had been so long…read more I have had to knock off a star since my last visit. Number of people 4 adults, and two children. They did accommodate half portions for the children. This was a combined treat for my wife, and my children had never been before. They have won an award, but I hear that with a lot of these awards they have to pay to enter. You'd have to investigate to see how good that award is as a Muslin friend ignores any of these. My wife said that they appeared to be resting on their laurels and relying upon their past reputation. I guess we won't be returning. What is wrong now: 1. The size of the meat with the dishes is small. None of us were impressed with the main courses. 2. Asked for lime pickle, and had to ask again, because it wan't brought to the table. 3. I asked for red and green peppers to be added to my dish; they forgot. 4. As it was my wife's birthday, I asked for them to put a bottle of champagne on ice. This wasn't done, and was served at the wrong temperature. In fact the wine was served colder than the champagne. 5. They weren't very attentive, and didn't notice that we need more drinks, I had to keep calling them over. The good: I and my two children orderd the garlic mussles, they were very nice. Others enjoyed their starters. The decor is very good, and really llooks fresh. Previous Visit Dec 2008 Yes, very good cuisine, a varied selection. The noise of the place lets it down a bit. I don't think I have done full justice here. Although I know the original owners have sold the place. Nevertheless, what I liked was the variety of the menu. I tend to have the following main course, words from their website: KARAHI MAHARAJA A north Indian household favourite, diced chicken pieces curried in thick but smooth gravy, cooked on the spicy side with onions, paprika and coriander. Served on a cast iron wok, a dish that has stood the taste of time. Really tasty, a place offering something different, by the way of flavours.

I let Jane and Oli do most of the ordering, since they are regulars and not everything translates into American English and English English the same way. We started with papadum and relish tray, and a couple of Kingfishers (on draft). For the table we ordered pillau rice, naan (2 kinds, but can't remember which 2), and saag paneer. I chose the Hozor Ki Pasandwalla Murghi because I wanted to try to pronounce it, and it's one of Oli's favorites. It's thinner sauce with nice heat and a good amount of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. He chose the Chicken Laknavi, and Jane chose the Chicken Pasanda. Everything was nicely spiced - heat but still flavor. Portions were generous - we probably only needed half as much, but we couldn't resist all the flavors. We were treated to a drink afterwards with our bill, and Bailey's was a perfect digestif with the chocolate. On our way out, we were given a 2019 calendar as a holiday present. I'm looking forward to another delicious and friendly meal when I'm back in Oxford!

Creating A Great Eating Experience…read more I found that Misbah took the time to listen to how we wanted our dishes, which for me, I expect to be way hotter than normal preparations, to which they presented with excellence. The overall experience and customer care was first-rate. My advice to having the best experience is to discuss the menu with the waiter and always add a restaurant choice of something you have never had before, we had a king prawn dish for starter on their recommendation and the Misbah went out there way to make sure everything was first class. I highly recommend a visit to Misbah and I look forward to going again and again.
