Ellora Curry Centre

Just popped in for takeaway, but was treated like staying guests by very polite and attentive waiters. Food was just as fantastic when we got home.

Very busy restaurant on Knowle high street. Menu had lots of options. I went for the Allora Special Balti which certainly didn’t disappoint. Plenty of meat and a very tasty sauce. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

We have just literally thrown our takeaway in the bin after waiting over an hour to collect. For example my lamb Rogan Josh tasted burnt, was very oily, and unlike no Rogan Josh I’ve ever tasted before. The naan was like cardboard…. Expensive rubbish, not happy Ver carta

We visited ellora last night for the 1st time, having wanted to go for a while finally made it. The food was delicious, we had 4 different dishes with nans and rice and it was great value for money. A good drinks menu aswell! The staff that run it were friendly and we had a wonderful evening and already deciding when to go next.

Visited with my son midweek early evening, I’ve visited many curry houses over the last 40 years so I reckon I know a decent curry !! I haven’t been to the Ellora for years so was looking forward to it , we both had chicken and spinach curry , however we both thought it was very average and not exactly cheap so I wouldn’t rush back

We arrived very late in knowle as we’re staying at a local guest house and had an early flight next morn I don’t think we got to the restaurant til around 11.30pm .This restaurant was recommended to us by Mary n les from the local guest house the Achill . It did not disappoint! Beautiful food ! And great service ! Will def go again when using the guest house again . Ver carta

This was our second visit to ELLORA after a disappointing first one! However tonight was much better, with service and food both good! I had the chicken tikka Jalfrezi which was well spiced and cooked with a lovely flavour, our friends had chicken Korma and a balti chicken masala extra spicy which were both good. Would now revisit for third time and would now also recommend!

Ordered 2 different curries both completely over salted and running in yellow oil, not an authentic curry, lacked proper spices and flavour, Nan bread not much better. This was the worst curry we have had in a long time not really edible provided constructive feedback to the staff who struggled to understand, in fact were not the friendliest of waiters contrary to what you normally find in this type of restaurant, appeared very tired, uninterested in customers. Similar to previous review vacuuming around takes while people eating is not good. If you want a decent curry try Asher’s in Bham or get a jar but not the Ellora. On a good point Malbec was ok for the price…

I have a great affinity for this place because I met my wife (to be) 32 years ago and this is where we first dined together. We have been back again and again over the years with a changing landscape in Knowle and Dorridge for good Indian restaurants. The competition is fierce but with The Bilash and Café Saffron now gone, even Lloyds didn't survive intact after Covid. Luckily though, The Ellora is still here and doing very well, probably because it's extremely good, just look at how busy it gets. I had the Chicken tikka puri to start, which was gorgeous and then we had mains of: Chicken biryani and Sea bass chittagong. The latter Sea bass was mine and is marinated in spices and served with...
