One of numerous takeaways and curry houses on the Shirley section of the Stratford Road, as the Darjeeling's name suggests, they serve Indian cuisine. With Karma Restaurant providing its sit down competition, whilst a takeaway rivalry comes in the form of Ashiana, the Darjeeling has its work cut out to establish itself as a cut above the rest. The prices are very similar to its competitors, around £5-£6 on mains, and they offer 10% off takeaways if you collect them yourself, an incentive that I don't believe the other curry houses in the immediate vicinity offer. Having eaten there and at the Karma several times, I find it very difficult to set them apart. In terms of food price and quality, they're virtually identical, although the Darjeeling has a slightly wider range of dishes, so it may come down to personal preference and if they are able to cater to your wants better than the Karma. I personally prefer the Darjeeling for eating in, as although the Karma is slightly more spacious, the Darjeeling has more character, with decorations and a nice fish tank. Overall, I'd recommend heading down yourself, checking out the respective menus, and seeing which establishment you'd prefer to eat in. Both are fine choices.
Very good food and friendly, attentive staff. Nice, small comfortable Indian style restaurant.
Food is brilliant as ever. Love their chicken tikka biryani. Ive been coming here for years .
Absolutely love the curry from here and have one nearly every week. I am gutted to hear they are having to close because of the utility bill situation we are experiencing across the UK. 😟 sad times
Love eating here, the food is always very tasty.The service is always on point, always attentive but never overbearing. We have taken our 2 year old here, she loves it also. Always recomend.

Brilliant - first time for me. My partner used to go years ago when living that side of Bham and it lived up to his memories of the restaura t. Food was excellent and very attentive staff. Well spaced. Look forward to our next visit👍
Brilliant. I've only had a takeaway from here, but it was lovely, and not greasy like you find with lots of Indian takeaways.
I ordered in the restaurant and sat and waited. It was clean, tidy and traditional looking. I'll definitely be eating in at some point.
We called here the other night as we was carrying out a job near by and at the end of our shift we got hungry as you do and the lads and I wanted a curry so we ended up trying this place and i must say it was a nice curry indeed.
Booked here last night for 6, then changed it to 8 the manager was than happy to do this for us at short notice. Never ever have a bad meal here and the staff are always happy and the service is top notch!!
Travelled up to Shirley from North Devon to visit family so naturally needed to try an Indian curry!!!
Phone ordered my meal, chicken tikka balti with peshwari naan and onion bhaji, asked to collect at 8pm.
When arrived at restaurant I was met by the very friendly staff and food was ready for me.
Food was very nice, not greasy at all, with extra poppadoms and onion salad etc added for free.
Thank you.
Lived by this restaurant for many years for unknown reason and visited for first time and pleased we went. Early evening for popadoms with pickles and yoghurt dip, chicken tikka and lamb tikka, chicken rezallea, chicken madras, naan and rice with a bottle of shiraz. Good service and excellent food so we will be back
Have been going there for over 20 years after years of searching for a decent curry. Food is always consistent and excellent. Friendly helpful staff.
The food is really good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming
Very nice meal and good portion sizes. We especialy enjoyed the garlic naan bread which was delicious.
Great food, friendly staff, clean and tidy at a good price.
Been coming here for years. Food excellent. Sometimes feel a bit rushed but not a problem.
Lovely food dining in or takeaway, never had a bad experience. Staff are extremely helpful and polite. Highly recommended.
