tipu sultan

lovely place to look at
butfoodwas average.
service was slow.
nothing majestic apart from the price.
will not recommend to friends and family

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 thefooddoesn'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 goodfoodand charge so much for sugary soft drinks!!

a small complaint and i always have water with myfoodso why am i complaining!!

sadly i've paid less forfoodthat tastes better than what i had tasted during my visit. the tables were sticky and the service was poor, was disappointed due to the reputation it upholds.

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.foodwas 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).

one of my favourite restaurants in birmingham.. i used to visit tipu's more than thrice a week ... goodfood... ambience and value for money!

i went to this restaurant with my best friend who recommended it to me and i loved it, i had a lamb curry and it was so nice i also enjoyed the lamb chops, my napkin was a in need of replacing and before i could ask a waiter bought over some more, excellent service, the place andfoodwas amazing inside was fantastic and thefoodwas first class, toilets were spotless and the outside grounds great too, i will be going back for my birthday.

one of my favourite asian restaurants in birmingham. greatfoodand atmosphere. nice location and very nicely decorated. friendly staff. easy car parking. you have to try the the biryanis as they're amazing 😋

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, greatfoodand nice value for money. going again this week ;)

really great food, actually what birmingham curry and indianfoodis 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.

it is  undoubtedly one of the best pakistani restaurants in the midlands. last week i visited the restaurant, the service and quality offoodwas excellent. the girl  at the reception was  courteous and polite. i think her name is orooj. may god bless her.

been here and thefoodwasn't as good as i was expecting as i was told it was the best place ever but the overall experience was good the decor is really nice and well presented.

best indian restaurant in all birmingham (my opinion)!!! their biryani is something else! their mixed grills... i'm definitely going there again! their prices are really amazing for suchfoodquality! and above all its halal! those guys are my favourites in birmingham (indian cuisine)!!! definitely recommended!

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 onfood/ 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 ,thefood,the atmosphere makes this place a great place to take someone special ,i have never tasted such tender deliciously flavoredfood,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

service - seen better at mcdonald.
decor - amazing.
drinks - asked for a virgin mojito, got a lemonade. sent it back came back worse.
food - no order of thefoodcoming, plates where not given 8 minutes after the dishes served, had to ask the waiter for everything, lack common sense.
food quality - if you had bad wedding food, then this is your place. no ressemble to the decor. small portions, over spiced, and asked for a chicken tikka masalla, got chicken leg thighs.
avoid avoid, over priced, bad servicefoodeven worse. they messed up so bad they gave our money back, we went else where after
