Dosa Village - Solihull

Very unprofessional behaviour today at lunch time. Based on the opening times available on the website, we had been at 12 noon and were told that they open at 1300 hours and to come back. When we went back at 1300 hours, we were told another 45 minutes and claimed they were delayed because of some party… though the restaurant was empty!!! If the restaurant is not open for lunch, that should have been told to us when we went in at 12 noon. Pathetic behaviour and clearly the chap at the front desk lacks both professionalism and insight.

Let’s start with a positive. The flavours of the food were delicious even though we asked for several items from the menu that weren’t available. For instance Dhal! What self respecting south Asian restaurant doesn’t have dhal. Overall the entire place from the toilets, restaurant area, doorway, connecting corridor is disgustingly dirty. We didn’t like touching the toilet doors they were so brown and sticky. The floor of the restaurant was covered with a generous sprinkling of food produced, so much so that it was obvious that floor hasn’t been swept for days. A positive was that our table wasn’t sticky…. Result! In any nook or cranny was crammed with food detritus, just disgusting. I wouldn’t go again and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat here. I shudder to think what the kitchen must be like. Ending on a positive note. They don’t have a licence to sell alcohol but they are happy for you to cross the main road, buy beer and drink it in the restaurant.

TERRIBLE! Went for a family meal with the family service was horrible and place is filthy. So much wrong with the place no idea how it’s still open! Food quality was so horrible ! Toilets do not flush and so disgusting. Asked for multiple things on the menu and they did not have in the end we ended up sharing 3 cans of sprite between 7 people! I feel so sick that places like this are open in the UK! They need a visit by a health and safety officer ASAP! After asking multiple times for basics the attitude changed as we did ask them to tell us before we placed our mains If there is certain things missing from the menu. We were rest assured everything is available then when we went to order we were told they didn’t have most of what we wanted! So frustrating and then the guy serving gave us attitude!! Find it strange how it’s cash only in this day and age! So we have to go get cash out and truthfully don’t rate anything thought out the evening. Overall do not visit the standard is very poor!!! Be warned!

Some of the best southern Indian food I’ve ever tasted. Visited 5 times ,floors were dirty ,gents toilets very poor . “When I looked at scores on the doors”and sawtattheyweregiven 0 out of 5 I could no longer go there, such a shame as the chef must have been amazing to make food that good .

Best South Indian food you can find in Shirley. Would have given 5 stars, but the service is a bit slow and inattentive. Friendly but disorganised.
