The desserts, in particular, are disappointing--my tiramisu lacked depth and had a gross refrigerator taste. The service is average at best.

However, for truly fresh food with complex flavors, Shere Khan's is where it's at.

If you're a meat eater then you'll be glad to know there's a generous amount of meat in every one of their meat dishes. They also have a good selection of vegetarian dishes. I've found the portions just right. So they are not so much that I feel bloated and not so little that I'm still hungry. The food is well priced as most of the dishes cost around £6.00. Whilst customers are waiting to be seated they can watch the television and read the magazines or newspaper. Access to the bar would be nice but this is still a better offer than most Indian restaurants. They also have a take away service and I think the food is also tasty here and good value for money because the portions are decent and it is inexpensive. The staff are friendly and the food is made quickly; I've waited no longer for my food. On a busy night it can be difficult to sit in to eat a take-away but that's only a minor issue that can easily be resolved.

Lashings of red and chrome in the waiting area give the place a trendy, casual feel and magazines, newspapers and a television are all available for waiting customers to enjoy. The restaurant area upstairs is a totally different story, giving off a classy and romantic vibe with its lavishly prepared tables and tinted windows. Most dishes are around £6, making the pricing here quite average for the area and everything inside feels modern and clean. On my most recent visit, the staff were very friendly and I was impressed to see that my takeaway food was ready as soon as I arrived, just 15 minutes or so after placing a telephone order. I'd definitely visit again, perhaps to the restaurant area next time!

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.

Generally, most of these restaurants have catered well for vegetarians so I've just opted for that. However, Lahore Karahi disappointed me. It's more of a fast-food diner than restaurant. And that isn't just a reflection of their tacky decor but also the greasy fast food that is ready in minutes. And their menu has little to offer vegetarians other than chips, which are actually thin, greasy fries. Don't expect comfortable seating. The chairs are plastic and tables have seen better days. Although the restaurant seems to be doing well considering its open all hours (or at least whenever I've passed!) and it's usually bustling with diners. However this could be because they're open till late and offer cheap, fast food. I went once but won't be going again.

The absolute best thing about Lahore is that it offers an 'all you can eat' deal for a little over £7 that incorporates all the main dishes plus sundries and naan bread. Drinks are extra, and I can personally recommend the mango lassi as a perfect palate-cooler after you've enjoyed some of the spicy treats on offer. Strongly recommended, it's definitely worth the trip. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to find somewhere to park. If you can walk it, do so.

The decor needs updating as it's a little old fashioned, but the plus side of that is that the food is so reasonably priced because the prices aren't hiked up to fund the refurb! 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. One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to.

Karma Restaurant is on a stretch of the Stratford Road in Shirley, Solihull, that is so densely…read morepacked with competing eateries (particularly Indian curry houses) that it really needed to do something to capture my attention and draw me away from neighbouring businesses such as the Ashiana and Darjeeling Indian Cuisine. It did so (possibly inadvertently) by eschewing the mantra of curry houses all over the city (and the UK) that when it comes to menus, bigger is better. I've become so used to seeing curry menus with quite literally hundreds of different combinations of sauces, sides, and fillings, that seeing such a relatively small menu at the Karma restaurant immediately drew me in, as I have a general rule that if a restaurant has a small menu, then they will presumably have a lot of experience cooking the same few dishes, and therefore will be able to replicate them at a higher level of quality than a chef who cooks five dishes he's never had to before every single night, and Karma proved my theory right and then some. Their prices are in fitting with the area, with mains generally ranging from around £6.50 - £9 for eat in, and a couple of pounds less for takeaway. The interior appears slightly bare and lacking in character (if you're wanting more in this department, check out the similarly excellent Darjeeling Indian just a few doors down), but don't let that put you off, Karma Restaurant is one of the best of Birmingham's famed curry houses that I've visited.

I asked for the samosa chaat first and everything else together afterwards, they refused to do that…read morebecause the only choice i had was all starters first or all starters with mains. Like really? That's just pure lazy. They obviously havent heard of the phrase "Customer is boss". Or I probably just made that up.. They don't do red chilli sauce. Just ketchup and mint sauce. That's just silly. Are they trying to come off as too posh? I doubt it (read below). The soft drinks are £1.95 for a glass and the glass isnt even filled up to the top. Maybe 80%, which is not even close to the "Spill over" line. I ordered fries too but when they served them they included a few tomato pieces, lettuce and some soggy coleslaw that looked like it was from Hitler's time. Put me off a little. Ever smelt your socks after a long rainy day? When they served the mains I asked for salad to go with my main curry. They were like "But did you order salad?" In other words i had to pay for it. But hey it's ok to throw in some odd, uninvited salad in the tray of fries though right? The waiters were in a rush for us to finish our starters so they could serve the main. One of them was like "You done with your starters?" I replied with "Not yet". He then says "Ok ill give you a few more minutes". Lol he basically dictated how long I have left. Not even a doctor tells his dying patient that. But it doesnt stop there... When the starters were eventually removed from the table it took another 20 miniutes for the main to arrive. The main was supposed to be medium hot chicken tikka masala. But it was really bland and very yoghurty. Didnt even eat most of it. On the way home my wife joked that she wanted to order a pizza. But i dont think it was a joke. And considering she has a small appetite tells you all you need to know. Will I go again? Only if im physically dragged there. P.S. I still gave a tip of couple of quid. Probably because the coke was nice. And the building too.

It's not that I dislike Indian food, I just tend to have a preference towards Oriental/Mediterranean or more contemporary. However I have found some great Indian restaurants in the past couple of years and this one definitely makes the list (and is vying for the top spot). The restaurant is based in a striking converted church building and is well laid out with smaller private rooms off the main dining area. I'm told it is used as a venue for wedding meals and I could see why it would be a great venue for a wedding banquet. I was very impressed (and felt a little bit spoiled) to have the doorman open the front door on the way in and out and a girl greeting you on the front desk, rather than with some restaurants where you have to wait trying to catch a waiter's eye until someone has spotted you standing there. What a difference great service makes to an evening. Went on a Thursday evening and the main restaurant area was very busy and had a buzzing ambience. Was grateful however for the private area we had for the group as it meant you were able to talk privately but as it was linked to the main restaurant could still hear the buzz in the background. Our host had ordered a set menu. The starter was a plate of different meats and some fish. The meats were flavoursome and juicy and the starter alone was large enough to be a main course for me, in fact I thought it was the main until our host told us otherwise! For the main they brought out various dishes with rice, salad and naan. The sauces were rich and tasty and spiced to perfection. Even the hardened meat eaters complimented the vegetarian options. The only downside for me is that it was not located closer to the city centre. So do I think it is worth the extra effort of travelling a bit further afield to try? Yes, most definitely I do.
