Tipu Sultan is deserving of all the positive reviews it has amassed over the short few years it's been open.

As a regular from its first weeks in operation to now the one thing that I feel they deserve the highest praise for is ' consistency '

Too many restaurants open with much promise and potential to become standard bearer's but ultimately many take their eye of what is really important in a restaurant....Yep the food.

Decoration, style presentation are all vital but if the food doesn't excite the taste buds there's no point!

Tipu has been in my humble opinion consistent throughout the years and i believe that's what makes it so dam good.

Portions are generous and one main dish is more than enough for two. I love the open kitchen view nice to actually see how many people work to make this all happen.

The only reason I didn't score it a five is a feeling that the soft drinks are a tad over priced when comparing to the cost of food. A glass of coke is £2.50!! Now for something that's costing no more than 30p to add such a margin seems a tad unreasonable.

And the comparison I use is a starter of seekh kebabs made of lamb cost £4 or so. Lamb is an expensive meat, so how can you charge that for good food and charge so much for sugary soft drinks!!

A small complaint and I always have water with my food so why am i complaining!!

Roomali roti were perfect with butter chicken. However, the size of rice they serve is very less as per the price they offer. Would not recommend to order rice here. Dal makhani was banging

A very busy, well organised restaurant. We hadn't booked but were given a table after a 5 minute wait. Although there was a wedding/event upstairs and they were clearly very busy this did not affect the service. Food was delicious and well cooked. Special mention for the lamb chops (starter), all 4 were juicy and well marinated. They were cooked to the perfect degree of pinkness. All the portions were big and after admitting we couldn't eat it all, we came home with a 'doggy bag' to finish later.( As did many other customers).

This place was in my wishlist for a while, had heard quite a lot about Tipu Sultan. If you live in or around Birmingham and talk about Indian Cuisine or Indian Restaurants you could be sure that you will get to hear about this one and for right reasons.
We arrived there late around 9:30 pm on a weekday (It was a Monday actually) and we were surprised to see it was still almost full,and this place is quite large, so expect bit of wait time if you head to this one on a weekend. 
Decor from outside doesn't look too great however the moment you walked in, it catches your eyes. Beautifully done, Lavishly decorated and Lovely Ambience specially those red lights and classic fort like antiques.After having a look at the drinks menu,you could be surprised that there's no alcoholic beverage,None. Yes that's right. Plenty of nice non-alcoholic options  are available though to quench your thirst. We ordered a cocalada (Pineapple,Vanilla and Coconut) and another drink which were quite refreshing.Lamb Chops as a starter were too good, It's also hailed as Tipu Sultan's signature dish.
We had Hyderabadi Chicken Handi along with ever favourite Garlic Naan and a Murgh Biryani.Quantity was enough to serve 2, Naan was huge and tasty. Handi Chicken was good but was a bit dry to my liking, a little bit of gravy would have been great. Biryani was alright not really great. Another stand out thing about this place was cleanliness and courteous staff, they are friendly and polite. We finished off with a Black Currant Ice Cream and had really nice time at Tipu's. We even decided to get Nihari Gosht and a Naan packed for home. Awesome Place, Great Food and Nice Value for Money. Going again this week ;)

Have been here a lot of times - there was a time when we went here thrice in a single week! A lot of my English friends have also been here.

More is less here - The authenticity, the quality and the ambiance - top notch. Surprisingly, the best mughlai I have had anywhere on earth. 

Try out the amazing lamb chops and mutton sheek kebab - and i bet it will be an experience in itself.

I always have the Nihari as my main course - and it sure attracts attention! The meat is so tender, it falls right off the bone.

Full marks to this place - even though this is just a couple of years old!

Really great food, actually what Birmingham curry and Indian food is all about. Very well seasoned and spiced, the decorations are not subtle, I have a 'less is more' style but nevertheless fine. We had a booking although still had to wait 35 minutes for our table.

Its among the better Indian restaurants in Birmingham. Certainly better than Pushkar and Rajdoot.

I dined here about five times in my 4 and half years stay in Birmingham. Four times on Invites and once on my own. I have tried Handi Ki Mirch, Sultan Karahi Murgh and Nihari. All of these were lamb dishes. The meat itself tasted good and succulent. Well, lamb meat according to me is of a slightly higher quality in Birmingham as opposed to say Delhi.

I love a fiery dish being an Indian that I am but Handi Ki Mirch is overpowering on the palate because I believe they are a tad too liberal with the pepper. Nihari for a discerning Indian palate is overly subdued. Sultani Karahai Mirch, colloquially put, was on point. It was a tad more spicy than the other dishes (even though the menu claims Handi Ki Mirch) is spicier. 

I think the starters are a let down. Murgh Wings and Fish Pakoras were not up to scratch. The layer of Basan was too thick to be an enjoyable Pakora. You can never go wrong with the Pappadoms but I think they are priced nearly 10 times higher than what they should be (including profit). One can easily procure a packet of 30 Papodoms for 65p.

The staff are not much different from that of Rajdoot in that they are ignorant about the items in the menu and the contents there in. They are not the sort of staff you can expect to be guided from if unsure on what to order.

The insides are lush but not quite as good as Rajdoot's.

All in all, I would not be visiting this a sixth time but for a first timer its worth a try.

Had been to this restaurant 2 weeks back.. Beautiful ambience but extremely crowded.. No alcohol offered.. Started with a non veg platter.. Lamb chops and hariyali kababs were to die for.. Ordered for lassi and it was okay.. Ordered keema kulcha and it was a huge one. Rumali roti were good.. Biryani was to yummy.. Even though alcohol was missing it was an amazing place to have food.. Worth it

It is  undoubtedly one of the best Pakistani restaurants in the Midlands. Last week I visited the restaurant, the service and quality of food was excellent. The girl  at the reception was  courteous and polite. I think her name is Orooj. May God bless her.

Beautiful surroundings. Absolutely packed and no rebooking so be prepared to wait. Waiter young friendly and fresh . Could be more polished manner but fast and efficient at beginning taking orders etc but hard to get towards end of meal.
Meal - average to good - lamb chops tasty but not the best I' ve had. Black pepper chicken..too much black pepper! - ok..
Food overall just average.
Overall reasonable price 20-25 a head.
I do think need to raise the game on food / service to match the superb surroundings.
Will be going back to give a second chance.

This high class restaurant was a experience I will not forget ,from the moment we walked into this stunning restaurant we realized it would be somewhere we would want to come back to ,

I suffer from a gluten and wheat allergy ( Coeliac ) so I am always worried about eating somewhere new ,All the staff were very attentive and offered to show us round ,even recommending some of the dishes they checked all ingredients for me and recommended what they thought I may like ,there was a great choice to choose from.

The luxurious setting`s , the service ,the food ,the atmosphere makes this place a great place to take someone special ,I have never tasted such tender deliciously flavored food ,the tastes of every dish we ordered was a delight ,I will highly recommend if you have a special occasion ,you will not find anywhere better

Came here last night for Eid with my wife and daughter. Very busy however the excellent waiters got us a nice table with plenty of space for the little one. Food came very quick piping hot loads of flavour. Butter chicken was made CORRECT! Not with coconut sauce so stupidly sweet but a mild dish. The gosht sultani was amazing. So were the naans. Great service not too pricey. Just under £50 for everything with drinks. Thank you for not changing your recipes! I am sick of going to restaurants and they make sweet curries

Visited Tipu’s for Eid and as expected it was quite busy with over an hour wait! However, once a table was ready we were seated quite promptly and food was served rather quickly too! Portion sizes are a little on the smaller side, as can be seen by the mixed grill picture; however I guess it’s understandable due the increases in everything recently, plus as a more higher end restaurant. Food was very flavourful and the variety of curries we ordered were all very tasty! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful! Overall a nice place to visit with consistent service/quality of food at each visit so far!

Their food is very tasty and fresh. They can get extremely busy at times but I felt they cope well. My children loves going there. Their lamb chops are amazing My second visit from London to Birmingham again within 5 months with family. The photos don't do justice to the quality and taste of the food. surely will be going back again.

I haven't been here since before COVID. A group of colleagues from work went, and it was a very nice experience. The food was good, the attentiveness of the start was spot on. As went at 5:30pm, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.Have to bring the family again next time.

Few places in UK where you can find good quality food with nice ambiance. Tipu Sultan is one of them. I was amazed to see the decor and sitting area. Good verity of traditional Pakistani food. Grill and Paya were my favourite. All dishes were equally good. I loved food so much that I had to get take away as well.

You can never go wrong with Tipu Sultan. Such a lovely fine dine experience. Very huge restaurant with plenty of parking, big sitting area with separation for families. Clean and shiny restrooms. Coming into food everything was perfect. Papri chaat was 10/10, BBQ was also very delicious but slightly on the pricier side and small portions. Lamb karahi was also very delicious. Always satisfied with my visit and staff is very helpful and accommodating.

I’ve been to the one in Leicester which is near me which is amazing… this one didn’t disappoint Decent size car park Very nicely decorated inside. Very clean and plenty of places for pics with the decor Our waiter Umer farooq was quality. Very funny and made the evening better. Love when staff love their jobs Wasn’t a long wait for the food and everyone at the table spoke about how generous and flavoursome the food was. Really nice and fresh and mouth watering taste Have been here a few times and would highly recommend if in the area Great work guys keep it up

Food has improved quite a lot. Curry was nice and if you like spicy food then this is the place to visit. Bryani was not how it used to be, lacking a bit of flavour but if you add gravy it does the trick. Drinks are nice and cool at the same time. Very busy after 7, had a great atmosphere, was excellent for families, and the service was good.

In conclusion, TIPU Sultan Majestic Dining offers more than just a meal; it provides a holistic dining experience. From the impeccable service and tasteful decor to the complimentary tea and hassle-free parking, every aspect of the visit was commendable. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a memorable and elevated dining experience in Birmingham.

Enjoyed a delightful dining experience at Tipu Sultan. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We started with a flavorful array of starters including succulent lamb chops, crispy onion bhaji, and delicious seekh kebab, and wings. For the mains, the lamb karahi was rich and flavorful, and the highlight was definitely the delightful butter chicken—a true indulgence in taste. A satisfying visit with good service.
