Little known fine-dining Indian restaurant, Blanc NRI, has beaten off stiff competition and climbed to the dizzy heights of the number one ranking restaurant in Birmingham – according to reviews website, TripAdvisor.

Tucked away on Hurst Street in the Arcadian Centre, in just over a year, Blanc NRI has made its way to the coveted top spot of Birmingham’s dining scene.  Previously home to James Dahl Indian, this hidden gem has quickly become the city’s best-rated restaurant, with customers consistently awarding it five stars and praising it as the best Indian restaurant in Birmingham.

The 55 cover venue is a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds with an opulent decor that compliments the elegant cuisine. Sumptuous jade velvet set against marble wall panels and gold coloured accents provide a stunning backdrop and add to the sophisticated dining experience.

A favourite among patrons is the Lamb Railway curry, described as a “Taste of the Raj, which is a nod to Spencer’s Railways Catering Services at Victoria Terminus. Another culinary shoutout is the Kadai Kurchan with lamb in a crushed coriander and red chilli masala, blended with no less than 37 spices. A new addition to the menu is the The Kozhi Varha Curry with succulent and tender boneless chicken.

For those seeking seafood indulgence, the Lobster Moilee is a must try with rich meat and flavourful coconut sauce.  Alternatively the Tamarind Seabass Serenade and the Tiger Prawn Malabar Style are a treat for the tastebuds.

Those with room for dessert will fall in love with the Ras Malai, a milky, crustless cheesecake cooked with saffron, pistachio and kheer – the perfect way to end a magnificent feast.

Blanc NRI is setting a new standard for fine dining in the city. With its innovative menu, exceptional service, and dedication to affordability, it’s no surprise that this small restaurant has quickly become the top choice for both locals and visitors.
