  “Very disappointing first experience with Jalebi Sheldon. I placed a collection order for one large Tarka Dhal and one small Tarka Dhal. When I checked the restaurant's own website, the total came to £11.40. However, when I collected my order, I was charged £16.75, which is £5.35 more than the advertised price. When I politely asked for a proper computer-generated receipt to understand the extra charges, the staff refused to provide one. Instead, they wrote the order and total on a piece of paper and told me to take a photo of it. I wasn't given any clear explanation for the price difference or why the website price didn't match what I was charged. Pricing transparency and proper receipts are basic expectations from any business. This experience has seriously affected my confidence in the restaurant's billing practices. Unfortunately, after this experience, I don't think I'll be ordering from here again.”

  “Tasteless, Subpar and Inauthentic. We had the buffet and the it was the most inauthentic Indian food I may have ever had. Tasted like fridge/ freezer meals you would get from Tesco/Asda which gets repeatedly heated and gets cold within 2 minutes. Naan tasted like cardboard/pizza dough which was obviously not fresh and heated up on a thin pan. All the curries felt like they were from ready made jars that you would get in supermarket with cooked chicken thrown in them. See in the pic below. Maybe the menu items are better but the very obviously wanted us to have the buffet (more money for them) saying menu items will take time, in hindsight we should’ve left as soon as that was said to us. £100+ for 4 people. Absolutely shambolic and disgusting. A reservation was made too but table was given to us 25min after arrival, another red flag in hindsight. Would not recommend at all for casual dining or any sort of dining honestly”

  “First time visiting this restaurant, had a great experience, the decor was done well gave the restaurant a lovely atmosphere. The tables were very clean and the selection on the menu was extensive. I came with my husband and 2 young children we went for the buffet which was excellent, the selection and quality was very good. So many items for starters, main and dessert. The service was probably one of the best I have experienced in a restaurant very welcoming and accommodating. Would highly recommend.”

  “This was the most incredible Indian I’ve ever had, I say this having had been to India multiple times! The staff are even better than the food if that’s possible, I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Cleanliness was 10/10, service 10/10, portion size 10/10. They simply cannot do enough to to elevate your experience and accommodate you. Thank you so much everyone!”

  “Up in Birmingham for work and decided to try The Jalabi, so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I hadn’t booked, but they found me a table straight away. Service was spot on, attentive without being overbearing, and the food arrived in good time. I had poppadoms, a mixed starter, garlic chilli chicken, vegetable rice, and a garlic, cheese and coriander naan. Everything was full of flavour and really well cooked. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Great food, great service, I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Birmingham.”

  “We visited from Edinburgh to try the buffet on a weekend. There was a huge spread with everything from paneer to chicken to fish. They were very accommodating and even dished up some vegetarian dishes. I like most of the chicken and fish dishes. Their naans and rice were also great. The service was better than what you will get at most restaurants in the UK. They were constantly checking with us about the food and whether we needed anything. They brought us more food than we could possibly eat! Special thanks to Mr Kavinder (hope I got his name right) from Silchar. Of all the Indian buffet places I have tried in the UK, I would rate this at the top. To the staff and management, keep bringing smiles on our faces through your food.”

  “Best restaurant I have been to in England and around the world. Food was amazing. Service was better than any Michelin star restaurant and all came in really cheap. We enjoyed every dish, we had "table buffet" which is the manager picking dishes for us. Everything was cooked fresh. Did not feel like they were using "base source". Could not recommend this place highly enough. From management to waiters to cleanliness. Everything was A*”

  “Went with a group of friends with a plan to eat light, ended up having a feast of epic proportions. The table buffet was recommended to us. The owner and staff treated us like guests at his house, with an amazing mixed grill to start and an abundance of curries, rice and naan bread. To finish off, he gave us ice cream and brownies with a fruit platter. We had leftovers to takeaway as well. Highly recommended, don't think twice.”
