About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Serving upscale Indian dishes from its sophisticated location inside The Arcadian on Digbeth’s Hurst Street, James Dahl Indian is a dining destination that will change the way you look at Indian cuisine. Utilising all-natural ingredients, seasonal produce and healthy cooking techniques, James Dahl Indian offers dishes that are light and fresh, a stark contrast to the usual heavy, albeit delicious, specialities we’ve come to associate with the Indian kitchen. Begin with starters like the James Special or the rushani pangas, Bangladesh fish fried with spices, garlic and onions. For your main course, we recommend the saag tikka special, garlic, spinach and marinated chicken all cooked up together in a medley of spices and seasonings, or the vegetarian mushroom bhaji. Despite a very recent opening (2016), James Dahl Restaurant is already a huge success, winning an accolade in the 'English Curry Awards', so be sure to book in advance to secure a table.

Lovely restaurant and so close to Theatres. Very good service. Used many times and always great food. Perhaps could be warmer in there as when seated by window during recent bad weather it was quite cold.

The food was great, the staff excellent and prices just right. The only complaint I would have is that the music was much too loud. Otherwise an excellent meal and lovely staff.
