Southern Flavours Indian Restaurant & Bar

Head down to Shirley and you'll find Southern Flavours doing proper justice to the cuisines of India's south—think dosas, idlis, and seafood curries that taste like someone's actually been there. The place has clearly won over locals (4.8 stars says everything), and it's the kind of spot where they're not messing about with watered-down versions of classics. You're getting authentic regional dishes executed with real care, whether you're after something vegetarian or their seafood specials. It's become the sort of restaurant people in Solihull actually choose to go to rather than default to.
