"After we have booked through the opentable app for 18.45 clock, we actually arrived at over 45 minutes early, but it was not a problem for the staff and we were sitting fast. the starters arrived soon after ordering and were very nice. for the net we had made the burgers and 2 of our party requested well, and the third was a regularly cooked burger, in contrast to some restaurants that cannot differentiate and cook as they were the burgers to this occasion were served exactly as we requested. we have shown on a NEC show, so it is regrettable that we are continuing from soihull."

"This is one of my favourite curry houses in Solihull. Set in a lovely old building, the tables packed in so they can cater for large numbers but also spaced so they can also offer lots of 2’s and 4’s. The staff are really attentive and very efficient in getting your meal delivered in a timely manner. The menu is varied and there’s some really good specials including my favourite the Punjabi Murgh Massala. It’s quite essential to book but it’s easy to do via the website. Both Cobra and Kingfisher beers on tap."

"Hidden away on a main street, you could almost miss one of the best Indian restaurants in Solihull. No photos, food was too good to spend time taking photos of it....had poppadoms and extensive chutney tray, shared starter, onion bhajis, for the main we shared a coconut rice, amazing pashwari naan, I had lamb sookha bhuna and the mrs had a veg korma. The lamb was tender and tasty with just the right amount of kick! We had the upstairs dining area to ourselves, downstairs was heaving. The shiraz went down very nicely, there is also a very popular rioja. Say hi to the very friendly staff. Vegetarian options: Any meal has a veggie option."

"We visit Peels about once a year, this is the third time we’ve chosen the tasting menu. We have always had a fabulous time. The format has changed so that you can choose either a 4 or 7 course tasting menu. There is now no a la carte option. We chose the 4 course tasting menu with the accompanying flight of wines. The flight of wines option was £55 each. In contrast to previous years, the wine served was very frugal. Between 4 people I doubt we enjoyed more 2 bottles of wine in volume, at the absolute most, though I appreciate you are getting the benefit of a wine description as it is being poured parsimoniously. The ingredient combinations for each of the four courses were quite safe bland, some of the textures not quite right. The meal was rescued a little by the chef’s additional extras which were more flavoursome than the main dishes. The environment the ambience were very enjoyable, though the service became a little ragged as the night wore on. We used gift vouchers which made a partial contribution to the meal (without going into detail) the handling of these was clumsy to say the least. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Peels but, on this experience given the expense, I couldn’t currently do so. In short, I suggest that Peels needs to up its game, especially where the food is concerned."
