Quick Verdict

You want generous portions of balti and railway lamb in a prettily decorated room where staff know your name.
About Harborne Tandoori Restaurant
Harder to find than it should be — up a flight of stairs off a quiet Harborne street — but the room is prettily decorated and the atmosphere on a busy night earns its reputation. The railway lamb is what regulars keep coming back for, and the balti, poppadoms and samosas round out a menu that also stretches to fish dishes and proper veggie and vegan options. The staff are the real story: welcoming and attentive whether the table is two people or a party of eight, and the kind of place that handles a birthday group without making it feel like an imposition. Complimentary Baileys at the end of the night is a detail people mention unprompted, which tells you something about how the evening tends to go.
In the last 90 days, Harborne Tandoori Restaurant has drawn 7 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
