Lasan

Restaurant, Indian, $$

The Lasan Group is famous in these parts. When it’s not serving up the best Argentinian food in Brum at Fiesta Del Asado, it’s providing everyone with arguably the best Indian food in the city. The award-winning Lasan restaurant in the Jewellery Quarter won Gordon Ramsay’s ‘The F Word’ programme back in 2010. This is Indian fine dining at the top of its game.

Jilabi

If it’s not Lasan with the best Indian offering in the city, then it’s definitely Jilabi. This Sheldon eatery sees people travel from all over the country to taste its authentic, home-cooked food, with its Super Sunday Buffet a personal favourite.

Viceroy Tandoori

Traditional Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine is on offer at Viceroy Tandoori, a popular restaurant with Jewellery Quarter locals. The bright, spacious layout of Viceroy perfectly complements its welcoming atmosphere, and, of course, fantastic food.

Pushkar
