Wow what a place….firstly I’ll add that we dropped into this establishment as a last minute search for some Indian cuisine. From the outside it looked enticing so we ventured in and was greeted by very friendly staff that were more than happy to seat us without a booking on a somewhat busy Friday night.
As a super fan of Indian mixed grills this was go to choice on the menu that offered a huge variety of Indian foods. On top of that a chicken curry was ordered along with the usual naan bread and poppadoms etc. Firstly we were given the drinks menu and my choice was a 660ml bottle of cobra at £5.95 which I thought was a very reasonable price, also a bottle of white Sauvignon blanc at £19.50 so all in all not a bad total so far.
The food came quick but not quick enough to hint that it was pre-heated so that’s always a bonus with me. My partner who has a nut allergy had amazing service when it came to the care for the requirements that she needs.
The main was delicious and cooked to perfection, well presented and hit the spot.
We decided not to go for the desert option although there was plenty to choose from as was the starters. All in all everything ticked every box for us on a meal that was for our anniversary.
Knowle holds a jewel in the crown for beauty and this establishment holds the crown for Indian food.
A special shout out to the manager Mashuk who made our visit very special.

Excellent service and price.
Photos are Spicy desi wrap (starter), poppadums, naga chicken, keema naan, bhajis and coconut rice.
Portions were extremely generous and, albeit very slightly oily, the keema naan was the best I have had in a long time.
There just over an hour in total, solo dining.

Came here with family on a busy wednesday night but managed to get a table quickly. Ordered drinks and starters which came pretty quickly however all the sodas were flat. Main meals took about an hour to come out after putting order in; waiters brushed us off every time we asked for an update on food. Huge take away orders were being sent out very frequently which gave us the impression that they were prioritising take outs much more than the actual customers in the restaurant. When the mains came out the bowls were warm but all the food was cold, couldnt taste any difference in the flavour or spice in any of the curries also same with the naans. Pretty clear that all the food was preheated and left out. Spoke to manager who couldnt understand what was wrong with the meals but offered to get the kitchen to remake the dishes, we declined as we were put off and he got the meals taken of the bill which we appreciate.

Ellora have been my local Indian for a while, food is always top quality as is the excellent service. I'm a frequent visitor and never disappointed.
