Redolence Spice

8÷10÷13 — Note that the discount has changed to 10%
I still think it is the best place in Redditch. They use fresh ingredients, not frozen meat, so you pay a little more than the other restaurants locally.
I texted Sam (the owner’s son) at 16:00 on 28÷9÷13 for a table for 6 at 19:00. He confirmed straightaway, and it was ready when we got thee, and it was packed. There people coming impromptu, and were told there was a long wait, and they waited. One couple waited two hours, but didn’t complain as they could see the place was rammed.
We left at about 21:00, and one of the waiters apologised for not getting the last drinks, and gave my wife a bottle of wine to take away, and the kids a huge handful of chocolates. We hadn’t complained, we could see how they were fixed.
As we went to get the taxi, one of the other restaurants just a few doors away had about 10 people in, and looked quite empty. Which goes to show people are prepared to wait for quality.
They also cater for private parties, which one of them will be mine… Not telling you when… :-)
JUST NOTE AGAIN — Not the easiest place to find look for the steps at the side of the William Hill bookmakers. There is limited parking around the back accessed from Vine Street… That’s difficult to describe so use Google Maps.

LOOK REDDITCH — THIS IS THE BEST BANGLADESH RESTAURANT IN REDDITCH — USE IT OR LOSE IT…
UPDATE (16÷12÷10): They now do deliveries. Plus you can order off their wine menu to be delivered too.
Really friendly staff — So start to become a regular.
Not the easiest place to spot. From Unicorn Hill it is seen as above a betting shop, and doors to the side give access up some stairs.
Alternatively, leaving exit 6 on the ring road around the city centre, will take you to the back of the property, and limited parking.
It advertises as «Contemporary Indian Cuisine».
Let me say the norm for me is if I don’t eat their on Friday, it is my take away on the Saturday.
Both the mixed kebab, and red mullet are both my favourite starters.
I like my curries quite hot, and tend to go for the Korai Chicken, very nice, and tasty.
My wife’s used to have quite mild curries, but since going to Redolence her taste buds have ventured to the Chicken Tikka Balti, and chooses the hot option. Now graduated to Madras.
The children enjoy the place too, and call one of the waiters «mum».
The staff are extremely friendly.
It is a place that deserves to be full all the time but I think it suffers from its location.
I highly recommend the restaurant.
