Nafees Restaurant 165 Birchfield Road, Handsworth, Birmingham B19 1LL

"Nice and clean environment with a good atmosphere. Service was great and the food was nice. The waiters were friendly and accommodated us well."

"Tried this place for the first time. Upon walking in, you get a nice vibe from it, it's calm and relaxed. Once seated we ordered the Tawa for 2, this consisted of Sheesh Kebabs, Wings, Lamb Chops, Chicken Tikka Pieces, Fries, Chicken and Lamb Curry with 1 Naan and 1 Roti (see pictures). This was a nice mix and would surely have a great mix for anyone who purchases this. The Sheesh kebabs were really nice, better than a lot of other places, had plenty of meat on all sides, no side was too thin and at risk of being dry. However, this is pretty much where the high praises stops. That's not to say the rest of the food is all bad, it was your average food that you would get from any restaurant, wasn't like an amazing flavour but decent enough to enjoy. The only thing I disliked were the wings, they were extremely small and didn't have much meat on the bone, aside from food the only other downfall was th oil pool that was left in the centre of the tray that the Tawa is served in. As it dips in the centre, anything that sits near the curries or the centre will be covered in oil. Also the onions that accompany the Tawa, I'd say you should sauté them before serving otherwise it's just raw onions on the side, I think the sautéed onions would be a complement. Thete are toilet facilities here, 1 each for the ladies and gents. Overall a clean environment. Would I revisit? Yes, but not as often as my regulars, maybe if I fancied a break from the regular places I visit. Card payment is accepted here, which is a bonus, so thumbs up for that!"

"Food was 5 starts, service was 2 stars, atmosphere was 4 stars. No complaints about the food, everything was really nice and served pretty quickly. The service was very poor. All of the waiters were stood in one corner, no one actually paid any attention to the customers. There were 4 waiters and 3 occupied tables. When we required service, as no one was paying attention we would either have to stand up from our table to get someone, or shout across the restaraunt. When we caught the waiters attention, they did deal with the request well and politely. However, seeing that there were plenty of waiters, struggling to get their attention and not being checked up on while we were eating was really off putting. Overall 3 stars."

"Ordered tawa for four It contained Chicken wings, Chicken tikka, Cod fish, Lamb chops, Sheekh kebabs, Lamb bhuna (curry), Chicken bhuna(curry), boiled rice, fries, naan and roti. The tawa overall was very disappointing, lacked taste and flavour. Lamb chops were dry and chewy, Chicken wings were bland, and it was NOT cod fish. Only thing with alittle taste was the Lamb bhuna. My friend told me a couple of weeks ago that the standard and quality of food has gone downhill but I thought mayb when he visited it could have been an off day and also everyone's taste buds are different but after eating from here, I wished I had listened to him."

"Nice decor and good table seating. Food was nice but took a bit long and they don't provide tap water, which I find unacceptable!"
