Jimmy's Spices - Indian Food at Solihull ...
After having sambhar, rasam, rice, curd, chips, puliyogare rice, vathal kuzhambu and other readymade food for 2 weeks continuously, finally it was time to head to one of the Indian restaurant in Solihull. It was a last moment decision yesterday late in the evening. The guys were stressed out as they were working pretty late in the evenings (and given the weather here which becomes quite unbearable after 6PM) for the last few days and everyone longed for a break from the mundane task of cooking.
After getting some information from the local Asian junta, we (a gang of 10) all headed to Jimmy's Spice. I wouldn't say that the place is a typical Indian restaurant, but the place was highly rated by all and sundry. We were in for a pleasant surprise as the spread was awesome. (Around 50+ items which included very good options for vegetarians like me). There spread included dishes from India, US, Italy and Thailand.
From naan to noodles, butter chicken to chole and palak paneer, pizza to quesadillas, fruit chat to moong dal halwa, the spread had everything. Forgot to mention the Masala Dosai that was served hot from the tava along with coconut chutney and piping hot sambhar. We had a pretty tough time making up our minds on what we should eat.
I started off with brinjal and cauliflower bajji along with mint chutney, some French fries and spring roll. That was followed by with onion Veda and some vadam (would you believe that!!!). I opted for a few pieces of butter naan fresh baked from a tandoor along with chole and paalak paneer. Then came to my favourite item - curd rice. The desserts spread was mouth-watering, but having had loads of main course, I opted to play safe and ended up having a few slices of freshly cut pineapple, some moong dal halwa, fruit chat. Eating out is not complete if ice-cream isn't included. So I indulged myself in some deliciously thick and creamy vanilla ice-cream that was served in a cone. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to state that the food was very authentic.
All this for just GBP15, which according to me is pretty decent. The ambience is pretty good and the service staff very courteous. We didn’t have much time in our hands, and so we couldn’t devour all the items that were on display. But rest assured, I am going back someday with lot of time to spare just to enjoy the authentic food that is served at the restaurant.
P.S: You might feel that I have exaggerated a lot, but I haven't. You would need to experience to believe. So if you are in Solihull by any chance, do make it to Jimmy's Spices in Solihull Town Center.
