Two-star Indian restaurant offering creative, modern plates & wine
"At Two-MICHELIN-Starred Opheem in Birmingham, local-born Chef-Owner Aktar Islam explores Indian flavors through a global lens. The seasonal tasting menu — offered in five or 10 courses — changes multiple times a year. Standout dishes include roasted quail with chapli spice, barbecued pea and wild garlic, and tandoori sand carrot paired with lentil pakora, mint and coriander. Presentations are as artful as the techniques behind them." - The MICHELIN Guide
"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
