Fully booked for new years eve, and of course coming three hours away from San Francisco (actually North Walsham) for the great football match, we never even thought about making reservations. Upon arriving after 7:25 PM, manager said they have no tables and that if we would need the tables by 8 PM. We said let's do this. If you can get us food fast, we'll inhale it.
True to our words, we were finished by 8 PM, packed and ready to go. This is compliments to the chef and the staff for accommodating us without notice. Excellent service.
And now for the food. I have had many lamb curry dishes before and never have I tasted the Garlic Chili Lamb so tender and jumping with fresh ingredients. It was phenomenal in tastes. The garlic nan we fluffy and soft (loardy knows no one will be kissing anyone tonight). The Chicken Tikka with side of delicious salad appetizer split in half for the two kids were perfectly tender and fresh. Salad had avocados and pomegranate finishes the salad with a bang. And finally, the Chicken Murogh Jhalbhaja was off the hook.
Overall, delicious food and great service. My 12 year old son ask if we can come back again. I would definitely do so next time in England. Well worth the trek.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Perfection, from the beginning to the end. I had the lamb samosas which was and crispy, fragrant. All the chutneys were tasty. The main course was a delight. I had the chicken dhansk was tender and delicious. The service was impeccable and the staff were warm and friendly! A must if you are in Birmingham!
A friend of ours in the states bought a gift certificate to the Viceroy so it could be a nice treat when we moved here. Our experience was absolutely delightful. We booked a lovely dinner for two and were treated with some of the best customer service I've seen. Our waiter practically doted on us.
The decor is posh and cosy. A nice little window shows a view to the kitchen so you can watch the chefs work their magic. The presentation and cooking style really showed their artfulness in crafting good food.
We ordered a variety of dishes and shared: bombay aloo chat, cabbage kofta bhuna, matar paneer, papadums, and peshwari naan. The papadums come with a caddy of some of the most delightful sauces and toppings I've ever had. We scoffed down almost all of the sauces and ordered a second helping of papadums just to smear on more mint sauce. We didn't expect the bombay aloo chat to be so fancy. Most places just present a small bundle of fried onion/potato cakes. These were larger and presented with a lovely salad and sauce on the plate. One recommendation I'd make is to order the small option for the entrees. We split two small orders and were stuffed! Couldn't imagine how much food would have been in a large entree.
The music and lighting were perfect. I will definitely be going back!
