Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This restaurant was very accommodating, although fully booked they were able to promise us a table with a minimum of wait time. Once inside the staff are super friendly and helpful and the decor is very light, contemporary and welcoming. We ordered starters and mains and a bottle of wine. All the food was delicious and arrived promptly. The portions are just enough and not overwhelming which some restaurants can be. We came across this restaurant after a busy day at the cricket but we were able to relax and enjoy the lovely food and atmosphere. A great place to dine!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed our food and service so much. It’s wonderful to hear that the Bhuna and Butter Chicken were highlights for you—melt-in-your-mouth chicken is exactly what we aim for!
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great experience.

It’s the first time we have visited this restaurant and we will definitely return.
There’s a wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant and we were immediately greeted by the waiter who was very polite and welcoming.
The tables & chairs are well spaced and comfortable.
Their menu is impressive and when the food was delivered to the table it was all very well presented.
Excellent food and drinks.

Came here with high expectations from the reviews, unfortunately, found the experience to be incredibly disappointing. The poppadums and starters were great. The rice was nice as was the naan bread. However, the curries themselves were a colossal let down. Firstly, as 2 vegetarians, to be served solely frozen mixed vegetables in a curry is incredibly disappointing. The only vegetable that wasn’t clearly poor quality & frozen mixed was the potato. The bhuna was allegedly a single spice rating and this was borderline inedible for how spicy it was. I’m not sure whether this was made incorrectly, but the spice levels made my father unwell and was closer in levels to madras curries from other restaurants. But considering the curries are the main dish, it was disappointing how poor they were. Equally, whilst the service was fast, not a single question was raised regarding our enjoyment of the meal, which considering how much of the food went uneaten, was an obvious sign that something was wrong. With the service being lacklustre, the main course being poor quality (at least for vegetarians/vegans) and very highly priced, I would not ever return and would actively advise others to avoid. Incredible disappointment.

Visited with 6 adults and 4 young children.
Asked if the 6 adults could have the set meals and the 4 children their own meals from the a la carte menu.
However told that all 10 of us would need to order the set meal, which there was no way the children would eat.
Highlighted the adults would eat the set meals and the children would only eat their own dishes we wanted to order for them and none of the set meal food.
Staff refused insisting that all 10 of us had to order the set menus or none at all.
In the end we all ordered separate meals.
Certainly not a family friendly venue and don’t visit with large mixed groups of adults and young children.
Had hoped for better but again disappointed.

Now don't get me wrong, the food here is lovely, but the service is sooooooo slow..! We ordered a hottle of wine and some water and had to remind them almost 25 minutes later that they hadn't arrived. After the meal, we asked for more water whilst given the desert menu. We had to prompt them again to bring the drinks. It appears that they are all running around lime headless chickens whilst achieving little, other than getting the people though the door, both ways. I bet the bills are perfectly in order.

Wow! Booked because it was convenient to where I was staying and fancied Indian food.
Couldn't decide what to order so asked the waiter for recommendations, which he offered based on my taste, adjusting dishes slightly to accommodate. The service was exceptional, the food matched, flavour and spice balanced to perfection.
Great meal and I'll certainly be back, probably very soon!

We enjoyed a fantastic experience here, prior to attending a theatre performance.
Ash and team made us welcome, comfortable and afforded information and advice re dishes on offer. Food was tasty, piping hot and lovingly prepared. The entire team great!
Restaurant really well placed for theatre, shopping etc and very well appointed. However, it was quality of food and service that impressed so much. Will definitely return.

The ambience and decor creates a wonderful dining experience, matched by the excellent customer service and hygiene. Im still relishing the mouth-watering taste of the soft subtle flavours, infused into the tenderness of our meal. The aroma, lingers as a reminder of fine cuisine brought together at an affordable price. Definitely on my favourites to be visited again.

Met for a meal with family members. Service was attentive and the options we chose from the menu were very tasty. We would have given five stars, but there were a few little mis-steps (e.g. presenting us with a bill before offering desserts and/or coffees). All-in-all, we would thoroughly recommend this place, the food is excellent and the staff very friendly.

Popped in here on the off chance before going to watch a show at the Hippodrome and were sooooooo pleased with our choice. Extremely attentative, professional, courteous staff who were a genuine pleasure to deal with and the food was, we think, the best Indian meal we have had in a very, very long time. Absolutely gorgeous and amazingly tasty. Only fault with our entire experience was that the food was almost a bit too (oven) hot so took a while to eat. Definitely highly recommended and will return when next back in the area.

Went as a family while on a visit to the University of Birmingham. Welcoming restaurant with very friendly attentive staff. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Even the dishes labelled with just one chilli were hot.
We thought it was reasonably priced for the quality of food. Would definitely recommend a visit here.

After being refused service at several Chinese restaurants due to being a solo diner, I went to Blanc Nri and they couldn’t have been happier to seat me. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, offering advice on what to order. The food was fantastic, arrived quickly and beautifully presented. A cut above the average curry, highly recommended.

Visited on our way to see a show. The waiter recommended dishes after after asking for our preferences and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and well described in the menu. Service was attentive and not intrusive. We will definitely return

Now here's a thing. Right in the middle of Birmingham's Chinatown, opposite a Mexican and a Malaysian restaurant is one of the best Indian restaurants I have come across. As with many great restaurants, the menu is maybe shorter than you may be used to. But everything we tasted was absolutely delicious, clearly made with fresh ingredients and served by attentive and knowledgeable staff.
