    This is my local Indian restaurant, bangladeshi chef, who cooks the most amazing food. Tastes fresh and delicious every time, the best place for value and taste. Comfortable seating and friendly staff

    Delicious food from the kesar. Ordered a few times for takeaway but most recently ate in and it was even better. It’s great as a takeaway but 5* eating in. Garlic achari is a delicious curry, and their chicken pathia is one of the best we have tried. Can’t rate this restaurant any higher, everything we have tried has been delicious.

    Came here for the 1st time with my family for Mother’s Day as was recommended by my mum who regularly eats here. The customer service was discusting! As its our 1st time we wasn't aware that there was a set menu. And we didn't discover this until we over heard the table beside us. As we wasn't given the option when seated and menus was handed to us as only the standard menu so we ordered from that. We then discovered that when you walked in there are leaflets with the set menus if you haven't been here before how are you expected to know. Other curry houses give you the option of both menus at your table to give you the option. So when we paid as we had ordered a starter curry and rice we told the man we have 1 set menu. He was very sharp and rude saying well you can't have that as you didn't ask for it?? As said we wasn't given the option and didn't know and he kept insisting that it's basically our own fault we didnt order it and that he won't honor the deal. Yes it's only a difference of a few pound but that's but not the point. If you want returning customers you would say that's OK no problem I'll do it for you but next time ask before ordering.. This has totally put me off from returning again and for him being so rude about it that is not how you treat your customers! Especially when my mum is a regular I won't be recommending you to anyone and maybe in the future you will give other customers the option of both menus at the table as this is really poor customer service.

    We had a lovely meal here our first visit since it changed owners, only downer was having ordered two poppadoms too have before our starters unlike other restaurants in the area who throw a couple more in on the house here we just got the two and had to order another two... Hence the four star 🌟 not five rating.

    This is an amazing curry house!! Go here all the time!! Customer service is always spot on as they always try and help and accommodate your needs and are always on hand! Food is always very tasty and hot and has a menu to cater for everyone! Nice decent sized restaurant and has spotless toilets! Would definitely recommend this place if your out for a curry and a few beers

    The food really is top notch! They are not licenced so remember to take drink if needed but there is a shop around the corner if not. The curry we had was so fresh and food and really great value.

    Delicious food, piping hot and delivered within 30minutes. This is the 2nd time we've had a delivery and both times brilliant. We ate in a couple of weeks ago and that also was delicious. Staff lovely

    Love this spot i must have ate here 20-30 times. Love the lads and the relaxed no thrills atmosphere/decor. You can go here and stuff your face and bring a cupa few beers. Curries and starters are banging. Not a grill spot though its a curry place at heart so don't expect that 10/10 mixed grill, get a curry 100%

    First time i have had a delivery from this restaurant. Have always had a delivery from another restaurant which has sadly lacked in quality. So gave these a try. Have to say the food was outstanding as was delivery and service. A bit more expensive but well worth it. Thanks guys will be coming to you from now on.

  • 1/5 amanda m. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered chicken biryani and chicken jalfriezi, considering it was local it needed to be warmed up, 6 tiny pieces of chicken in the biryani, completely lacking in spices had to add my own.. poor quality won't be ordering again !

  • 5/5 Travis G. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic curry, nice staff

  • 3/5 Imni M. 4 years ago on Google
    I was looking forward to this place after reading comments from Trip advisors but somehow i was underwhelmed. The starters were excellent. The menu has a lot of choices and look exciting Indian dishes. We ordered the Capsila Chicken as this was recommended by the waiter. Main course was good like any other dish there was nothing special was expecting a "kick" to my food. What I really liked was the chef coming to visit us, he takes pride in his cooking and you can see that in his facial impression when he talks to us, however he did appear underdressed coming out in a t-shirt, also there is also an open kitchen it does looks slightly unprofessional not dressing like a chef, from any other restaurants I have ate at, nevertheless the best are the starters (sheesh kebabs) which is worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Andre B. 1 year ago on Google
    Legitimately the best restaurant around Wednesbury. Doesn’t matter what I get I end up liking it. My partner and I have been eating here for a few years now. They make the best curries and the waiters are welcoming and kind special H great service overall. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Delicious food, generous portions, good ambience, value for money, excellent service- what more does one want? Will definitely be back!

  • 4/5 Tanaisha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice food but overpriced for the portions sadly. Lovely staff and nice atmosphere. also halal which is great! For my fellow brothers and sisters thinking of coming here I wouldn't say I don't suggest it just be weary as the food is very watered down in flavor compared to traditional Pakistani/ Asian curries.

  • 5/5 Yasmin H. 1 year ago on Google
    I order from KESAR regularly as a customer..I would say I have tried alot of takeaways in my time but these guys are one of the Best Indian Bangladeshi takeaway in Wednesbury!! The food is outstanding clean fresh..they always variety to chose from on the menu and staff are very nice helpful nothing is too much and delivery has been always on time and prompt just 10/10 keep up the good work guys..

  • 5/5 Alexandra J. 3 years ago on Google
    I attended this restaurant with my immediate family and everyone loved the food! Of course we were won over by the quick service and the verities of dishes (so many new flavours to choose from) they offered different ranges of spices to suit our needs. The interior was lovely. Highly recommend this place

  • 5/5 Sergio A. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff were helpful. Service was quick and prompt. We went for the 4 course weekday set meal and were happy to pay for the few extras, as it offered fantastic value for money. The portions were generous and everything tasted delicious. I will definitely will be returning, and recommend to friends and family.

  • 5/5 Arthur E. 3 years ago on Google
    We have had our food in the restaurant and always enjoyed it and the services is always good. Never had any problems with anything. So i would recommend this restaurant to any one for a meal sit or even takeaway. We have had take away few times as well and mostly its ready to pick up when we get there and no complaints with any thing.

    What an absolutely incredible restaurant this is! I tried this restaurant for the first time last night on just eat and wow I wasn’t disappointed, food was not only 20 minutes early but it was also piping hot. The driver was dressed very smartly and gave great customer service. The food was so tasty with so much flavour too it. If I could order from here everyday I would! Would 100% recommend as this is THE best Indian in Wednesbury no doubt about it!

  • 5/5 Mohammed Amirul I. 5 years ago on Google
    I went to the Kesar for the first time yesterday after a long search for a decent curry house & I must say I wasn't dissapointed. Young chap named hoizul greeted me at the door and took my order and his customer service was second to none. Had the special Kesar Biriyani and mixed grill which was a pleasant surprise to the taste buds??. Compliments to the chef! Would recommend anyone to go here and I will definitely be back for more!

  • 5/5 Karren F. 4 years ago on Google

    First time we visited last night. Staff were very friendly. Attentive but not overly so. The food was amazing.

  • 1/5 Melanie B. 4 years ago on Google
    We ordered a home delivery - mixed grill and chef's platter, roti bread and onion bhaji. It was all so nondescript - dry, tasteless and very disappointing. The chef's platter was supposed to contain tandoori prawns, well there was literally just one prawn! The chicken in both dishes was dry. The lamb was hard and chewy. The roti bread was not like any other roti we've had - very doughy. I'm sorry, but on this showing I have no idea how they have so many 5 star ratings.
