If you want superb Indian food then go to Bilash. I would recommend their Chicken Super, a fish dish called Buna Mach, their Dhal Makani and their Special Rice.

Attending a concert at The Civic Halls, which is a stones throw away and decided on Bilash for our meal. The venue is a Michelin star restaurant, so we expected service as well as food to be to a high standard. On entering, we were asked if we'd booked, which we hadn't and were directed to a small table, where we were asked if that was OK. The restaurant was busy but not overly. Eventually we were asked if we'd like poppadoms prior to receiving the menu which we said one each along with the chutneys and pickles, we were encouraged to have 2 each which we agreed, on ordering drinks, myself a glass of Merlot and my husband a lime and soda as he was the designated driver tonight. Eventually, the poppadoms arrived, 1 each with the waitress telling me she did not know what Merlot was and if there was anything else I would like instead. Now remind me, this is a Michelin star restaurant?! I then ordered a house red. Where could I go wrong with that? Don't bother. I've had more satisfying glasses of blackcurrant cordial! Food - the menus where given after the drinks were served, and the food order was taken after we'd eaten our 1 poppadom, from a limited choice of food menu, no prices for poppadoms, as previous people have commented. Dishes the cheapest is £28, whilst tasty is no better than we've had in local Indian restaurants, and we've had many! Rice we ordered boiled rice was again encouraged to have saffron rice as it would suit our choice of main courses, plain rice arrived, this was £7 a dish, I would recommend one between 2 of you, this is more than enough, and cost effective. Service is slow in every aspect, we may have been unlucky, but we didn't get what we ordered. the atmosphere is nothing special and generally lacking Our bill was £98 was it worth it? no, not one bit.

I was expecting so much more. The serving staff, including the maitre d, didn't know the menu, there was dance music coming from the kitchen, the floor upstairs was covered in cardboard, toilets were shabby, food was decent but way way way overpriced. We left thinking we could've spent a third of money and had a better experience elsewhere. Frankly, there was no experience, it's just a standard Indian restaurant that charges £8 for a bowl of rice.

Food was average, I fear that they are resting on their past competition glory. Food was also very expensive, £20 for a starter of tandoori chops. There was a very loud table and a customer arguing about the prices, all off putting. Will find a better venue when visiting the Wolverhampton halls next time.

We were attending a concert at The Halls; the restaurant is a stone's throw from the venue and so three of us booked an early table. It was encouraging to see that there were already people seated in the downstairs area when we arrived shortly after 5pm. The welcome was warm and although we weren't given menus on arrival, we were offered poppadums and drinks. We ordered six poppadums and three small bottles of Cobra - they didn't have any draught lager or large bottles of Cobra. The poppadums and drinks arrived and, eventually, the menus. There was a 'Christmas' set menu at £35 (starter, main, rice or naan) and an a la carte menu. We didn't really want a starter as we had planned to move on and meet some other friends for drinks before the concert. Looking at the a la carte menu, we were surprised to see that we were obliged to order a starter and a main, at which point we agreed my might as well order from the set menu. We ordered three veggie pakora and three shahi paneer, two naan and a rice from the set menu. Bear in mind that on the a la carte menu, the pakora starter comes in at an eye-watering £15 and the curry £22, plain rice at £5 and naan at £6, so we felt like we were getting some value for money at least. The food was nice; no better than anything I've had from our local restaurant and no worse, just more than double the price. We ordered a few more bottles of Cobra and I had a glass of wine - there is no wine by the glass priced on the menu and so I didn't know what I was drinking, except that it was wet and white, or how much it was going to cost. When the bill arrived, we were gobsmacked. The bottles of Cobra were £6 each - that works out at £9 a pint - and we'd had eight of them. The poppadoms, which as we were offered them on arrival and they weren't anywhere on the menu, we foolishly assumed were complimentary were - wait for it - £2.50 each. We had spent £15 on poppadoms before we even ordered any actual food. The bill came in at £165 for the three of us; I managed to negotiate the poppadoms to be removed from the bill, citing daylight robbery. We also noted that the diners on the tables to the left and right of us were equally shocked, with one diner putting away their debit card and swapping it for a credit card and two gents splitting the bill on another table scratching their heads as to how their modest dinner had come in at nearly £70 a head. I realise that this review is mostly about money and hardly anything to do with food, but, as I've intimated, the latter was nothing to shout about. The restaurant is tired in appearance and the service wasn't exactly slick. The front of house/manager was welcoming and professional but not very awake to the fact that the restaurant is charging for things by stealth, in the middle of a cost of living crisis. If you're happy to pay this much for Indian food and want an amazing night out, go a couple of stops on the train into Brum and visit Asha's or Varanasi where the food, decor and service are absolutely outstanding. You'll even save yourself a few quid in the process.

Whilst the food and service was excellent, we were completely put off by the price of the wine. £60 a bottle- no thank you.
