About Kings Repose

On New Rd in Wolverhampton, Kings Repose is an Indian restaurant built around its Kings Repose Famous Gigantic Prawns, alongside a menu of 71 dishes that also runs to Bhuna King Prawn & Shrimp Royale and Garlic Tikka Chicken. Poppadoms arrive with a selection of chutneys, mint and chilli sauce, and onions, and courses are brought to the table by waiting staff, with food carried out from the kitchen on trolleys. Seating spans upstairs and downstairs, reached via stairs, in a room decorated with ornaments and antique-style pictures. Soft drinks are limited to a small selection such as J20 rather than a wider juice range. The restaurant opens daily, evenings only, and reservations are required. A car park serves the address.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the chicken tikka dansak and prawn biriyani for praise, with the chicken pakora starter also drawing attention, though opinion on it splits sharply. Several describe the setting itself as a draw, a quirky historic building mixing antique decor with modern Indian dining, and staff are most often called welcoming and attentive, with one reviewer naming a host who made the visit feel special. Close behind the food, the cramped seating comes up as a recurring gripe, tables set tightly together, uncomfortable flat-cushioned chairs, and a table so near the kitchen that clothes and hair picked up cooking smells, along with dim upstairs lighting that one diner found hard to eat by. One reviewer reports a starkly different experience, describing a poor attitude from staff and a chicken pakora that tasted reheated rather than freshly made. Most others, though, describe leaving full and satisfied, with several saying they would return.

    “Wow what an amazing experience from start to finish. We was first seated at the bottom of the stairs where we had a drink and chose our food while taking in what a beautiful historic building we was in. With the menu giving a little history …”

    “Lovely warm welcome into a really quirky indian resturant, proud to be a part of British History. The decor is a mix of an old British Antique collector and a modern Indian reaturant which is what makes this place different from the usual Indian restuarant. We had our first drink downstairs, good selection of beers & spirits, and our order was taken. Seated upstairs to enjoy our meal and our poppadoms were served with a delicious selection of chutneys, mint/ chilli sauce and onions. Starters were promptly delivered, piping hot and obviously freshly cooked. Chicken pakoras were tasty, crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle. I can't recall the official name of the dish but the tomatoes stuffed with lamb mince - amazing! Prawn biriyani, nice and light not too heavy with spice but still very flavourful and the vegetable curry a great accompliment. Chicken tikka dansak was beautiful, perfect mix of spicy and sweet. Overall a brilliant Indian resturant, lots of choice, friendly and attentive staff all at a very fair cost. Will be frequenting more regularly! Thank you ☺️”
