Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the friendly, welcoming staff, describing service as attentive and personal, with groups celebrating birthdays and Eid among those praising it. The food comes close behind, with Chicken 65 and the chili prawns named as favourites, lamb shank curry also singled out, and fresh, fragrant naan and well-spiced curries praised. One reviewer also liked the daily specials. The criticism centres on the meat and the strength of flavour. One diner found the lamb and goat curries chewy, hard, bland and overcooked, suspecting mutton, while another wanted a bolder Nihari gosht and noted the gulab jamun sat as slices on top of the cheesecake rather than being baked in. Several describe the decor as inviting. Staff decorated a table for one birthday group, and the chef adjusted every dish for a reviewer with specific dietary requirements.

“Really good food, impeccable service with really friendly and welcoming staff. We booked through first table to try it but would definitely come back again and pay full price, it’s very reasonably priced in my opinion. Also the option to bring your own alcohol for free is great!”

“Perfect evening spent to celebrate Eid and 3 birthday's. I had very specific dietary requirements and the chef adjusted every single item to cater for my needs. Each person in our large group had their dishes made to perfection, beautifully presented and tasted delightful. Staff looked after us admirably, I felt as though i was coming to celebrate Eid at my brother's house.”

“We’re Back… and Better Than Ever – Harborne Indian Kitchen Returns! After a difficult few months of personal loss, we truly considered stepping away for good. But the incredible outpouring of love and support from our Harborne community touched us deeply—and reminded us exactly why we started this journey in the first place. Thanks to you, we’re back—rebranded with today’s living costs in mind, but holding firmly to our promise: no compromise on quality, flavour, or the warmth of our service. We can’t wait to welcome back familiar faces—and meet new ones too. Thank you for standing by us. Your support means everything. With gratitude, Hoq Harborne Indian Kitchen”
