Itihaas restaurant in Birmingham is one stunning eaterie. This beautiful restaurant —the name means ‘history’ -- is the £2 million brainchild of businessman Raj Rana and it’s been raking in awards since it opened its doors. The décor is contemporary meets traditional with two dining rooms honouring colonial and maharaja eras – there are slate finished walls, original paintings, carved stone elephants, Jali marble window frames like those found in Mogul palaces and elegant black sari-clad hostesses. Chef Amardeep Saka offers intriguing dishes influenced by North India, Mumbai, Chinese fusion and Kenya. The cuisine and service are royal, yet the ambience is relaxed and informal – a history-making combination in anyone’s book.

    Welcome was enthusiastic polite and friendly. Service was very good... Although my main course arrived seconds after I had finished my starter. I would have liked a little more time to settle my starter. Wine [Nero d'Avolo) was excellent.. overall a very pleasant experience. I will certainly go again. Itihaas was recommended to me ... I in turn will certainly recommend to others.. many thanks and compliments to all the team at Itihaas

    We booked for the bottomless Thali - which is our favourite and it didn't disappoint! I think this was my favourite ever visit to Itihaas! Food was immense. We will be back...

    The restaurant has a traditional feel to it. The waiters were not friendly at all. I would say the food is all freshly made but nothing special. I would not visit again.

    The food was average… the service was not up to the mark and it was too cold inside, smelling stale… like old upholstery… Overall… 3/5

    Good food, impersonal service. Felt like a bums on seats experience to get you to the bill as soon as possible and out of the door to get the table back.

    The food is exceptional. Michelin star quality in my opinion. The rich flavours and quality of the food sets Itihass head and shoulders above any Indian restaurant you've been to before. This restaurant is a place for special occasions and when you need to treat yourself to something really special.
