Itihaas

You're walking into Fleet Street in the Jewellery Quarter and stepping straight into the kind of Indian restaurant that doesn't do the diluted Birmingham curry house thing. Itihaas takes its food seriously, with a menu that reads like someone's actually thought about flavour combinations rather than just ticking boxes. The kitchen knows what they're doing—whether you're after something fiery or more nuanced, the spicing lands properly. It's got that smart-casual vibe where you can rock up in jeans or dress it up for a proper night out, and the service keeps pace with the crowd without ever feeling rushed or ignored.
