What they say:

After winning over the harshest of critics - aka Gordon Ramsay on The F-Word - Lasan's head chef decided to spread his wings and open his first solo venture. And what a beauty it's become. Created by Aktar Islam, Opheem is a Michelin-starred eatery on Summer Row, inspired by nearly 800 years of Indian culinary history. With everything from chefs that cooked for royalty through to the British empire as an influence, the seasonal and tasting menus combine progressive Indian cooking with local produce.

What we say:

With food that's good enough for royalty, along with influences from France, England and the whole of India, Opheem has become one of Birmingham's hottest culinary tickets. The menus are a delicious fusion of recipes and produce, with dishes such as Kerelan-style soft shell crab with caraway seed tempura and crab shaami. The drinks list is the cherry on top of this swanky cake, with a choice of wine flights to accompany your dining experience.
