"Opheem in Birmingham, led by Chef-Owner Aktar Islam, has become the first ever Two Star Indian restaurant in the Michelin Guide. It is noted for its progressive Indian cuisine and creative approach." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Among the six newly minted two-star restaurants were Gymkhana in London and Birmingham’s Opheem, the first two-starred Indian restaurants on the UK's list." - ByLi Goldstein
"Locally born and bred chef-owner Aktar Islam has fashioned a wonderful dining experience at this ever-developing restaurant. A spacious bar and sitting room are cleverly used as a space in which to enjoy snacks and a drink before heading to the dining room and its open kitchen. The series of flavoursome, excellently spiced and carefully balanced dishes are creative, modern takes on Indian recipes. Well-chosen wines from the excellent sommelier are on-hand to accompany." - Michelin Inspector
