“ Went to Channi's with a group of friends last night Friday 28th . There were around 12 of us .. service was great ..food excellent nothing was to much to ask for we connected our phone to wi fi to play our own music through speakers. I last went to Channi's 15 years ago with a couple of same guys on this visit .. if you want freshly cooked food with grwat service then this i know you won't be disappointed. All in all it was great night we got there at 7 and left after 11. ”
“ Humble surroundings mask a true gift to the palate. Service is slow. But Channi bhai cooks for you as if you are guests that have turned up after years and ensures time stands still for him to show his mastery and then sits down to have a chat as if he is done for the night just to be with you. Unpretentious, gracious and a charming raconteur ”
“ I can honestly say that the food I ordered from this restaurant was extremely delighful. Cooked with love and passion. The owner was really friendly and informative about the food and its allergens. He gave me all the information I needed to know about the spices he used and was just really a nice guy. The lamb and spinach was 10/10. Also the fish pakora were fabulously presented, with just the rite amount of crunch to it I would go back for more. I would highly recommend this place if you wish to eat good food. 5 stars ”
“ Quite and intimate. Can take your own alcohol which is great. Food is amazing. ”
“ Lovely and friendly place and beautiful cooked food. The chef is amazing and happy to accommodate any food requests to your liking the best dish I had was the chicken tikka masala with naan bread ”
“ I don't visit this restaurant enough even though I only live round the corner. The food was absolutely great as it always is. Not been in here for a well & as I walked in was greeted with a big smile & hand shake from the owner Channi. Need to start visiting on a regular basis. ”
“ The food here is excellent, but the atmosphere could do with some work... There was almost nobody else there when my group showed up and they were playing a movie or something over the speakers instead of music while we were eating. Maybe we just caught them at a bad time because the curry itself was amazing so I'd love to go back ”
“ Such a real authentic place, cooked by a Channi himself a man who cooks with heart. The food has a subtle wholesome taste, the Makanni is superb, the lamb long cookedand the rice has dicate flavours. Its golden yellow wall and oak floor quietly places you somewhere else further east of Birmingham. You want to know an origin of the B triangle you may start here. The price is just right, and there is bar if you like to drink spirits. ”
