Imlees is beautiful Indian restaurant located in the heart of Moseley. It has a classy modern vibe packed into this small space. I believe there is an upstairs dining room as well, but I haven't been sat up there yet. I have tried a few Indian restaurants since moving to Brum and Imlees is the only one I really like.
I've dined here 3 times now and we are always greeted at the door. The restaurant is not licensed so you can take in your own beer/wine/etc. Across the street are two shops in case you get thirsty and forget to bring your own.
The menu seems to have a good variety; lots of starters to choose from and a page and a half of mains. The poppadoms always taste fresh. There are 3 different dips served with the poppadoms. There is an onion chutney, a spicy red dip, and a mint dip. I'm still new to Indian food so I'm not the best with my descriptions.
For this visit, I tried chicken tikka for a starter and Bagaara chicken for a main. The chicken dishes were both flavourful! The Bagaara was a tad too spicy for me. I usually choose Butter chicken (which is fantastic) but decided to be a bit more adventurous this visit. In between the starter and main you are served sorbet to cleanse the palate. We also had some delicious naan and pilau rice.
As far as price, Imlees is quite affordable. It offers take out too if you aren't up for formal dining. Anyone finding themselves hungry in Moseley should give them a try!
Imlee's is fast becoming my favourite Indian restaurant, the interior decor has a classy feel and the staff are very friendly and attentive, most importantly the food is delicious!
I'm usually reluctant to try lamb curries but the meat is so succulent and tender that the lamb specials are my favourite dishes at Imlee's. I've tried a fair few of the specials and they are definitely the way to go if you want a real taste sensation but I've also recently sampled the age old Brummy favourite of a Chicken Tikka Masala and it was yummy!
Portions are just right, it's not often I can finish a full curry but I usually manage it here (partly because they're so tasty!), If you're really hungry go for a starter as well.
One of the best things about Imlee's is that it's not licensed so you can bring your own wine! This makes a delicious and classy dining experience inexpensive.
Definitely highly recommend to anyone who loves Indian food!

I'm spoilt for choice when it comes to Indians in my area, so I was surprised to see Moseley restaurant owners were much more shrewd with their business strategy i.e. not opening an Indian restaurant in a 1km proximity to 5 other Indian restaurants.
Anyway on first impressions it has a very luxurious facade which cajoled me in as though 3 wishes awaited me inside. It is a very slick restaurant and they do a very good job of representing this with their exterior, this impression was only supported by their staff who were incredibly attentive and friendly. Somehow it feels as though Imlees has been part of Moseley for years, it has a very established feeling to it and they seem to have acquired a very loyal customer base despite being one of the newer restaurants on the parade.
The food was some of the best Indian food I've ever had. I had to compare their chicken korma with a my catalogue of previously consumed chicken kormas, and I must say I think it was the best one I've had.
Imlees provides an impeccable dining experience, so be kind to yourself and go there.
