Can't really fault them. Service and food were great and the ambience was good. Prices reflect the fact that it is a higher end establishment but that's to be expected.

As always the quality of the service, food and ambience were excellent. James Dahl Indian is an ideal restaurant for a pre-theatre meal in a central Birmingham location.

Restaurant was nicely decorated, food was tasty and portion sizes were good. We either ate at a very quiet time or the restaurant doesn't get very busy - this did limit the atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and professional and I thought the meal overall was good value for money. I would visit again.

Saturday evening meal, and the all aspects of the meal were very good. The starters were tasty and the main dishes balanced with spice. The food itself was very good. The service was efficient but a little bit rushed given the restaurant was not full.

Excellent food, facilities and service. All 6 of us loved the place and would definitely return, when we go back to Birmingham. I cannot understand the odd bad review at all. I tend to lean to the owners response, and can only believe its malicious competitors, trying to destroy a lovely restaurant.

After a warm welcome we were seated at a smart window table, the restaurant is modern, contemporary and very clean. Our drinks order was taken and arrived promptly. We ordered food and asked the waiter if one of the dishes could be personalised to my wife's taste, the food was fantastic. I would recommend this restaurant.

The food is good; an excellent saag paneer, and the staff are extremely friendly without being intrusive. It's a busy restaurant so it's advisable to book.

Lovely decorated restaurant, with a nice atmosphere and spotlessly clean. We were given a very warm welcome and very attentive and helpful service. They took time to help us choose, explaining what the various dishes were. The food was delicious, hot and nicely presented. We would definitely visit again

Lots of traditional Indian dishes but they taste fresh and delicious...service was excellent all the way through, my highlights included opening the door for me when I went to the loo and bringing extra ice for our Lassi to keep it cool....look out for the quirky way of serving the hot towels xx

The food is superb and the service is first rate. I would certainly recommend eating here for a pre or post theatre meal or a trip to the Glee club.
