Bombay Mix - Birmingham

I visited this restaurant for a unique experience. It is an Indian restaurant, but it feels like they do not expect or want Indian or South Asian people inside. The staff is not very courteous, constantly reminding patrons to place their orders quickly and asking if they want to order more even after they have finished eating. The waiters linger and watch patrons as if they are waiting for them to finish quickly, which can be unsettling in such a small space. The food is mediocre at best and I do not recommend this restaurant.

I gave this restaurant a 1.5 rating for the food alone. The customer service here is absolutely terrible! Once you enter the restaurant and take a seat, all they seem to care about is taking your money quickly and rushing you out the door. The waiter kept coming over to our table multiple times, asking if we were finished eating when we had just started our meal 5 minutes ago.

I ordered some bhajis, poppadoms, and a chicken jal, which were all first rate and in good portions. Meanwhile, a variety of regulars were coming in to pick up takeways and chat amiably with the front of house guy, and I had the impression the place was regarded as a reliable...read more

Eating here is very hit and measures. one day it can be one of the best within the budget and other scenic, a little disappointing. the service is generally good and the delivery of home offers a free bottle of wine for a £15 minimum payout. not bad!

Definitely worth a visit. The Indian food here is good, though not particularly surprising. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they respond well to a smile. I have been here a few times now and it's a reliable choice for consistent quality.
