Frommer's Review

In India this restaurant's name refers to "bright young things," but in Birmingham it stands for the finest Indian cuisine in this part of England. A carefully selected menu featuring mostly Indian and Sri Lankan dishes is served by a very courteous staff in this relaxed, elegant restaurant. Main dish specialties include lamb Karahi (braised in spicy masala of garlic with ginger, onions, and tomatoes). Chicken tikka masala comes in a smooth and creamy sauce, and lamb roganjosh is a rich, spicy dish. Another favorite is king prawns in a tomato-and-onion masala. The restaurant also functions as a dance club. Special buffets complement the main menu, ranging from the two-course gourmet banquet at £25 ($50) to the four-course royal banquet at £50 ($100). Parking is available on Tennent Street behind the restaurant.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
