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.

Was so, so impressed with the food but it is a touch pricy for what you get. £15 for a prawn starter with two prawns? That's not good. Very tasty but.. The mains are much better, I had the vegetarian biriyani which was really, really...good and some great bread too. Sort of place you come to for a special meal rather than a normal nightMore

We chose Itihaas as the menu looked quite small and a little different to what we normally see. We both chose a thali from a lovely sound choice of dishes. We have never had a thali before and we were truly both amazed. Very quickly...we both agreed it was the best Indian food we had ever eaten. I think we both would have said this even had the food been more expensive - it was great value for money. We will compare future Indian restaurants to this one. Yummy.More

All the staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone who...wants amazing Indian food and excellent service.More

Booked this restaurant through open table after reading the excellent reviews. Then happened to walk past yesterday and noticed they are not displaying their hygiene rating!!! This is because their rating is 0. We decided to look into the 0 rating and it’s shocking.! The...health inspector has put the most damming report online that includes the word ‘vermin’. So we tried to cancel, you can’t do it through Open Table and the restaurant has charged us £50 for cancellation. Please read the damning reports before booking this awful restaurant. I can’t believe they’re open.More

Itihaas is a standout spot for Indian food in Birmingham. The staff are super welcoming and the atmosphere is cosy. The highlight for me was the Sunday thali , a delicious variety of dishes that offered a real taste of India. It’s a great place...for a tasty and satisfying meal. Highly recommendMore

Very little else was available on a Sunday night in this part of Birmingham, and my hotel did not do food. So I was pleased to find this place open and still serving food. Pleasant staff on arrival. As usual though, for most single diners,...I was seated where I would be least offensive to other diners - hidden away right next to the servers' workstation and food service lift to the kitchen:) The food was very good. A crispy Nairobi Chicken Samosa to start, followed by a delicious Lamb Hadi Wala Keema with lamb bone marrow. Good service and a reasonable bill at the end.More

A superb experience. This has to be one of the best if not the best Indian restaurants in Birmingham. Very welcoming. Service was fast and attentive. One of the best Makhanis I have ever eaten! Highly recommended and I will be back soon.

I visited this restaurant for dinner last year with a friend. We went on a Sunday evening so it was a bit quieter. The customer service was very good and the food was delicious. My friend and I had both ordered biryanis (lamb and chicken)...and these were delicious. Portion size on the Biryanis was very generous too. We also had Gulab Jamun and vanilla ice cream for dessert which was also very good. This is definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the West Midlands.More
