"The staff at the restaurant were very friendly, but it was a bit challenging to get their attention for drinks as they seemed preoccupied with chatting to each other. However, once the food arrived, it was delicious and everyone in our group enjoyed their meals without any complaints. The prices were a bit on the higher side, with even basic items like chips costing extra. Some members of our group decided to order desserts, but unfortunately, they were a letdown. The double waffle stack had cold and tough waffles, and the cheesecake base tasted stale. Overall, the burgers were tasty, but the desserts didn't meet our expectations."

"Another wonderful Friday night with Sunny, Ryan, Ray Ikbal. Situated in the heart of Solihull town centre and just across the road from Solihull church. This wonderful restaurant is situated in a former mansion (grade 2 listed) and has some low beams that add to the character. The staff are only too willing to help you with your choice of food. Don’t be shy, if you don’t like your curry too hot! The staff with only be too happy to point you to the right dish. Being a vegetarian can sometimes be a challenge for me when visiting restaurants. But not at Panchuli’s. If you like your curry hot then try Pumpkin Spinach Madras or if you like it mild then Paneer Tikka Masala and there’s number of other curry’s in between to suit the most discerning customer."

"we recommend everything here! despite a busy Tuesday night after bank holiday, the quality and speed of the service was error-free and fast, friendly and detailed. the menu options completely new and different from other Indian restaurants. that should die! my lamb slept and the sauce was delicious. the bun of my manne was a ktikka and butter sauce mix, sweet and just as delicious. and to crown everything, free double pots vanilleeis, with chocolate sauce shattered. absolutely fantastic! 5 stars are not enough: 6 stars for spice! we are coming back in definitiw! Top brands for service, eat and menu options. excellent!"

"Of all of the local eateries in the surrounding area, the Punchbowl is always the most consistent, serving an array of beautiful dishes to the same high standard. The Sunday lunches are really good too the chateaubriand is amazing (but so is the pork, chicken and beef! We never struggle to find something on the menu that isn’t a win.. Whenever we have friends over from the USA or visiting from down south the first question they always ask is ‘are we going to the Punch?… We enjoy going out to eat, and here we know that the food will be amazing, the staff are so incredible and the service is always great and being honest, there isn’t any real competition, it blows everywhere else out of the water! It has a lovely ambience, struggling to say anything other than I can’t recommend this place highly enough! Keep doing what you’re doing…"

"yesterday we had one of the worst experiences in a restaurant. I was in the hospital and on the way to home made a reservation about the phone. Once we entered, we were accompanied on our table and given menus. 5 minutes after we had set ourselves, the very rude waitress (possibly South African) marched on our table and announced before the whole restaurant that we did not wear the right clothes and therefore had to leave clothes or change because they could not serve us. I am perfect with restaurants with a dress code (although they are in the rule in mayfair not knowle high st.) which I did not like was that this was not imparted to us on more discreet wise. it was very embarrassing, and we were made to feel like we were among them. we live in hampton in Arden, not a million miles away. yes, we were under dressed, but it was a Sunday afternoon afternoon, morning. If the waitress had been kind enough to talk with something decor, she would have realized that we had just arrived from the sick house and celebrated my good health, which explains the pension. I will not come back. I never felt so humiliated in my whole life."
