This place is a perfect fine dine for couple or families.Ambience and service deserves maximum points.Food quality is great however quantity is less but then that's typical of fine dines.Our host for the night was Grisha, such a lovely and cheerful host! She did help us in ordering and advised on quantities which is always a help!Would definitely visit again.

There's a lot to like about this place, largely food related.It feels like you're walking upstairs into a nightclub. The interior is an odd mix of neon light strips, a water feature then wooden/metal effect furnishings.The star dishes were the chicken hariyali and traditional tandoori chicken starters. Absolutely soft and delicious, with oodles of flavour. Highly recommended and excellent value.The chicken biryani was fairly tasty, and the chicken chettinand was flavoursome. Both served piping hot, excellent.Areas for improvement:1. Poppadoms - the three dips were tasty but really tiny portions, see pics. Poppadoms plain only (no spicy).2. Background music. Very strange classical music versions of modern songs (Ed sheeran meets violin). Very weird and didn't enjoy it. It did improve slightly towards the end when it moved away from violin renditions.3. Service was friendly but inexperienced eg, plates weren't cleared very quickly (it wasn't busy and there were 3 staff mainly at the bar), cutlery didn't arrive until the food was being delivered.What I do object to is the (ok, optional) 12.5% service charge. If you are going to offer silver service to compete with restaurants like the Ivy, Opheem, Orelle etc then 12.5% is justified. But the service is a mile away from this. Management take heed if you want to improve the foot fall. There's lots of other Indian restaurants from which to choose.If the above was improved I would return but otherwise would only use here for a takeaway.

Really liked this place. Staff is great,and decor looks lovely. We have had a platter which was delicious, the dessert was also good. The main was slightly not as good as expected. Overall, this place is a gem in the city, I would definitely recommend it.Plus, cocktails are awesome.

The food was very good and tasty. We have ordered garlic Naan, Paneer butter masala , kids meal and chips. The Naan was so soft and tasty , i haven’t eaten a naan like this before in my life. The service and staffing was excellent. Ambient lighting and well decorated restaurant welcoming christmas.A NCP car parking facility is available next to this restaurant may be 5 min walking distance.Metro access available as well. Visited this restaurant as a part of my visit to the birmingham christmas market.Wasn’t an expensive restaurant.I will highly recommend this restaurant.I haven’t given a 5 star rating recently and this restaurant and staffs deserve it.

Went to this place with my partner on his birthday. Really nice food in here. Definitely the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been. The cocktail got a lot of choices and highly recommend.

We had a Friday evening show at the Alexander theatre, Ark is a stones throw away from the theatre so in we went for early dinner & drinks. Ark is a very classy & tastefully styled Indian restaurant, we were early so the restaurant was empty but we were welcomed in we received great service & the food was delicious.

It has all the flare. Looks pretty and has all the showy bits. The taster platter could have been a little better for the price. Could have had enough for two to share. The mocktails were decent. Flavoursome. We didn’t enjoy the lamb shank. It wasn’t falling off the bone the way it should have been. The curry that came with it, did not go with it well.Overall experience: would not visit again as was costly with not much memorable flavours.
