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.

It's a quaint family eatery with simplistic and clean decor, and polite yet reserved staff. There is some parking outside although side-street parking is plentiful. It's also a take-away, so as you enter there is an Indian sweets counter. If you dine in, you have a vast range of dishes to choose from at very reasonable prices. I often order a variety of snacks to eat a tapas-style meal, which gives you the opportunity to try out numerous dishes with a rich blend of flavours. But favourites are the chilli paneer and spicy mogo chips! Don't be put off if you're a keen meat-eater - so am I! But Jyoti's is testament to how varied and delicious vegetarian food can be.

We ordered Mixed Bhajiya which was 6 assorted fritters with tamarind sauce, paneer spring rolls and mogo chips. The food tasted nice some of the fritters tasted very similar to each other and were quite dry, the mogo chips were quite hard but tasted ok.

Service is surprisingly prompt and the staff are friendly, though not so friendly it gets in the way of the quick service. The prices are at the cheaper end of the curry house price range, starting at about 5.50/6 pounds for a main course and about 1.50/2 pound for side dishes. There are higher quality curry houses in Birmingham, but these will undoubtedly tax your wallet a lot harder than Khanum, there are also cheaper curry houses but with with lower quality food. The one criticism I have is that the restaurant is a little cramped, but apart from this Khanum is a restaurant I would recommend to curry fans.

Can't go wrong with a tarka dall, and Khanum more than delivers. Service quick, food was hot and…read moretasty, and the vegetarian in me was very satisfied. Not too oily - which a dall often can be, so that was a good sign. My other half had a chicken biryani, and whilst the veg curry that comes with it was a bit bland, the meat was apparently tender and delicious and there was lots of it there. A biryani is always our way of testing curry houses that ar new to us, and this one passed with flying colours. Winning all round!

We only wanted a take away on this occasion, which was a great shame as they do not give any discount for this. The price you see in the menu is the price you pay whether you sit in or take out. As we don't live here anymore we really wanted to try the food so went ahead and ordered our take out. It took forever (55 minutes to be exact). Anyway, we went home drooling - the rest of the family thought we'd gone back to cornwall. We dished up ~ the starters were nice, the mains were nice enough but nothing to shout about and the rice was overcooked, sticky and not tasty at all ~ half my dinner ended up in the bin. Our meal was expensive compared to all the other Indian restaurants in the area so we won't bother going back again.

The restaurant is on Kings Norton Green, a lovely area which is sadly neglected when it comes to good places to eat (Mollie's Cafe is an exception). Obviously the fine people of Kings Norton agree with me as on the two occasions we have been the restaurant has been bursting at the seams. The decor is very modern, service is good, the menu is extensive (i mean extensive - lots of chef's specials) and the food superb. Cost is very reasonable - a meal for 5 with starters, mains, sides, poppadoms and drinks (a mixture of alcoholic and non alcoholic) came to £133 so less than £30 each. This has quickly become a Go To place for those of us living on the south-west side of the city and it beats the curry houses in Stirchley hands down. They also do a Sunday buffet for £9.95 per person - havent been to that so cant comment on it though!

We quickly received poppadoms and chutneys which were fantastic, the raita and mango chutney very tasty and the onions and onions in red chilli sauce equally so, with just enough for us, though I did end up scraping the pots! Drinkswise, the waiter was good at telling us exactly which beers they had on tap and bottled, asking what I liked and giving us his recommendations. This happened again with our mains, my mother was having trouble choosing between a couple of dishes, so he asked what she usually had and liked and quickly narrowed her choices down. We enjoyed our starters and mains, like the other reviewer I was a little disappointed with the heat of my curry - I chose a combination (CT Pathia and Lamb Jalfrezi) which were both labelled as fairly hot, but to me they were mild/medium, though still tasty. I found the rice and nan to be good quality on this occasion. The waiters were very attentive and overall we had a good time and would probably go again, especially as the bill was very reasonable for the large portion sizes, though next time I'll make sure I ask for more chillis in my curry!

My first impressions were actually good but after that I unfortunately can't find much to recommend the Flute. The sheek kebab looked fine with pleasant presentation but it was virtually tasteless. In fact it was probably the blandest thing I have eaten in a long time. It may have been a one off except my main course had a similar trait. I like my food very tasty and slightly hot; a quick chat with the waiter and the choice was CT Sag Madras. Again it was "thin" and lacked both heat & taste. The accompanying rice, chips & nan were very average as was the the Indian lager. I wish I had been told about the bottled Bathams bitter they had in the fridge. As for the decor, it's not my choice of colours and the painting is very rough around the edges. Service was quick, a little too quick but as my chair was hard I wouldn't have wanted to have been seated much longer. The restaurant was quite busy, predominantly full of ladies all of which seemed to be having masalas & kormas - say no more. 2.5 Stars but well done for supporting local brewers.

Acting as both neighbourhood takeaway and classy, indoor Indian restaurant, this family-owned…read moreeatery offers high quality Asian cuisine at remarkably reasonable prices. On my most recent visit, my family and I ate in and we all had a very pleasant dining experience. The waiter service is very efficient and the staff don't try to rush you out of your seat, as they may do in other independent restaurants. The Chicken Korma I ordered was mild and creamy, yet still flavourful and filling and the restaurant's menu offered a very impressive range of authentic Indian and Bengali dishes. Pretty much the only thing I didn't like about the place was the odd, dark and dingy atmosphere inside. Low-level lighting combined with darkly coloured walls and furniture made it a tad difficult to read the menus and seemed to give off a sort of unappealing, backstreet vibe as opposed to a romantic ambience which could have easily been achieved with a little more light or colour.

It's also pretty reasonably priced and caters well for vegetarians, should you have any of those in your number. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent: Rice is served to you, for example, which feels, in the relatively recent history of British Curry, like a quaint touch as it's not something you see everywhere these days. I think that's what I like about this place the most - it hasn't changed all that much over the years. If you fancy a simple, well-cooked meal in cheerful surroundings then I recommend it. The music they play is pretty standard Indian background music that must be on a tape loop. One song sounds like a version of The Irish Rover by The Pogues, so listen out for that. I wonder if Shane MacGowan has eaten here?
