Living in Harborne, I've been to Bangla Lounge a few times now- it's becoming my go-to curry place…read moreand really reasonably priced restaurant to bring visitors who want a taste of Birmingham's Indian food and are too lazy to venture out to the Balti Triangle. The food. Is. Fantastic. Plentiful portions. No artificial colours or flavourings. Lengthy, albeit 'standard' Birmingham Indian/Balti menu. One particular evening the manager was around and talked us through how some of the dishes were made, and seemed quite keen to educate us on the ingredients used. We often get something complimentary thrown in- tonight we had both a side dish and free ice cream bars! Not sure why this happened, but hey, I'm not complaining! Despite the low prices, it seems like they are trying to create a 'fine dining' experience-- during dinner service the staff check on you, plate your food for you, place the napkins on your lap, etc. I have found the service to lag a bit though, although it seems more like they are trying to give you space than anything else-- it was easy enough to flag someone over if we needed anything. All in all, delicious well-priced curries in Harborne.

Starters are quite small, but were still good and kept room for the main. Desserts are the standard Indian restaurant ice cream menu. In addition to the very prompt service, we were given a side, after dinner drinks and coffee for free, and we don't really know why. We had a great time anyway and I couldn't give it anything under 4 stars.

Absolutely delicious food! We were warmly greeted and had excellent service here…read more There is a large menu on the table so can seem overwhelming but you only need to look for your favorite protein or vegetable and then select the style of dish. We had lamb tikka and complementary poppadoms with chutney to start. Meat was tender and mildly flavorful. For the mains we enjoyed the Hairy Biker chicken special which was super smoky delicious. The okra / ladyfingers Balti style was full of flavor on top pilau rice. The garlic naan was a generous portion but if you have a large group go for the table naan. Gigantic! Prices were reasonable, under £30 for all this food. Enough for 2-3 people. Casual setting and quick service.

The staff are also good, very friendly, attentive and prompt (bearing in mind that we went at 6pm so it was a little early). Unfortunately the reason I'm giving them only two stars is because I wouldn't consider going again. The food was really not very good. The starters were enormous- I had a chicken haryali tikka, which must have been a whole chicken breast. That wasn't bad in itself, but I just didn't like it and it started to make me feel a bit sick. My partner's salmon tikka was better but equally huge and he felt it was a little undercooked. We only managed a very little of the main. My partner said his chicken tikka masala was unlike any one he'd had before and it was like chicken in tomato soup. My Goan monkfish curry (two chillies) was barely spicy and the fish was very chewy and quite unappetising. I can't really recommend this restaurant on the basis of the food. The only thing that made it okay was the staff.

I learned this as I was trying to "take away"... ("take away" = carry out! for the non-English) FYI: Their main dishes do not come with rice. You have to order rice and bread separately and pay additional. Free Appetizer: They give you free pappadeum and yogurt, mint/corinader sauces -- which was quite nice. I ordered chicken tikka masala and steamed basmati rice. DISCLAIMER: I am not giving two stars because they did not have soft drinks available for take-away. Or the fact that you had to pay for the side basmati rice! (approx. 4 GBP). No, no, no.... The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the chicken tikka masala was not very impressive. I may not have ordered the "right" dish, but I figured chicken tikka masala can never go wrong. It was just okay. I've definitely had much much better - for both the quality and value. So, mehhhhh.... The ambiance was very nice. No complaints here. Free Appetizer: They give you free pappadeum and yogurt, mint/corinader sauces -- which was quite nice. I would go back again, but only on the company's money. I'm sure their other food has to be better, right? For a restaurant with such a nice ambiance... I hope so..!

Imlees is beautiful Indian restaurant located in the heart of Moseley. It has a classy modern vibe…read morepacked into this small space. I believe there is an upstairs dining room as well, but I haven't been sat up there yet. I have tried a few Indian restaurants since moving to Brum and Imlees is the only one I really like. I've dined here 3 times now and we are always greeted at the door. The restaurant is not licensed so you can take in your own beer/wine/etc. Across the street are two shops in case you get thirsty and forget to bring your own. The menu seems to have a good variety; lots of starters to choose from and a page and a half of mains. The poppadoms always taste fresh. There are 3 different dips served with the poppadoms. There is an onion chutney, a spicy red dip, and a mint dip. I'm still new to Indian food so I'm not the best with my descriptions. For this visit, I tried chicken tikka for a starter and Bagaara chicken for a main. The chicken dishes were both flavourful! The Bagaara was a tad too spicy for me. I usually choose Butter chicken (which is fantastic) but decided to be a bit more adventurous this visit. In between the starter and main you are served sorbet to cleanse the palate. We also had some delicious naan and pilau rice. As far as price, Imlees is quite affordable. It offers take out too if you aren't up for formal dining. Anyone finding themselves hungry in Moseley should give them a try!

I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to Indians in my area, so I was surprised to see Moseley…read morerestaurant owners were much more shrewd with their business strategy i.e. not opening an Indian restaurant in a 1km proximity to 5 other Indian restaurants. Anyway on first impressions it has a very luxurious facade which cajoled me in as though 3 wishes awaited me inside. It is a very slick restaurant and they do a very good job of representing this with their exterior, this impression was only supported by their staff who were incredibly attentive and friendly. Somehow it feels as though Imlees has been part of Moseley for years, it has a very established feeling to it and they seem to have acquired a very loyal customer base despite being one of the newer restaurants on the parade. The food was some of the best Indian food I've ever had. I had to compare their chicken korma with a my catalogue of previously consumed chicken kormas, and I must say I think it was the best one I've had. Imlees provides an impeccable dining experience, so be kind to yourself and go there.

Staying at the nearby Travelodge (and therein lies another story) we were snowed in and looking for some warming dinner. The Bangla Lounge had some food reviews and so we booked, walked through snow and sleet, then got there to an empty restaurant. Felt a bit silly but within 30 minutes the place was chockers. Not silly after all. Menu was good but large - hungry and cold we over ordered and couldn't clear the table but left groaning full of curry goodness. The naan was awesome, and honestly all the curries we had were fantastic. Then a free shot of Bailey's for the ladies and something sherry-like for the men with the bill. Awesome! Definitely worth a look folks.
