The food here is nicely presented and not over greasy. Mains are a good size. But some specials leave a lot to be desired. The special fried fish starter was over priced for three small squares of previously frozen, gelatinous and tasteless fish deep fried in some sort of floury coating. Staff are excellent. Coffee v nice. Busy and noisy, but good ambience.

We had a really enjoyable meal. The Menu was varied and the food was delicious. I got the impression the waiter was pretty new to the job as the welcome was slightly awkward introduction and he didn't know what one of the drinks was that we ordered (a shandy). However, this didn't detract from a great meal.

Starters very good but main courses were just about average. Dissapointed as from other reviews I expected it to be much better than it was. Having said that the service was very good.

Good food and attentive service. An excellent start to this new restaurant. Keep up the good work. Only criticism would be that mains were a little to sweet so would probably be more selective in future.

Great food. Staff very friendly and attentive. Service charge of 10% added to bill which was not acceptable. Bit difficult to locate this restaurant as its behind other buildings.

This is a wonderful gem in Birmingham. If you want somewhere special, wonderful surroundings, decent price, amazing service and top class food then go here. My mother knows her indian food and said it was one of the best curries she's ever had.

Food was not good, over priced and small portions. Staff were overly pushy. Asked several times for poppodoms even though we kept saying that we didn't want. Food was cold and mixed grill was over cooked and dry.

A wide ranging menu including all the traditional curries and enhanced with some exotic connoisseur offerings. The food is mouthwateringly flavoursome and the staff are eager to ensure your dining experience is of the highest order. This restaurant, in the Arcadian Centre opposite the Hippodrome theatre, is worthy of all its' high praise and reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.

Best Indian experience i have ever had in the UK. Unbelievably good food, the tastes and smells were amazing. The overall level of professionalism from the staff was great. They were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. If you are ever in Birmingham for any reason you have to try this place. By far the best!

An excellent experience. Amazing food. Great service. Don't ask for the bill too early though as you will not get the wipes to clean your hands afterwards :-)

Had been trying to visit JD's for a while now but every time I visited Birmingham the Restaurant was closed, always a Monday, so was delighted to be there on a Friday and Booked online to make sure I got in. For a Friday the whole complex where JD's is located was very quiet as was the restaurant, which is surprisingly smaller than you would expect. Staff were friendly and attentive without being over your shoulder all the time, and the menu was varied with house specialities, I had the ANARKALI which was amongst one of the top Indian dishes I have had (and that's a lot). All in all a great experience and would definitely visit again. That 6th elusive star was let down purely by the ambiance which was a little low key for me, unlike Dishoom hub hub and feel

Food was really good and service aswell. It was week day and the restaurant was not that full. Music could be lower at some point.
