This place is always in my top list to visit . Very nice ambience & very good vibes. Menu is super elaborate . So many choices you can get . One of the best indian restraunt in Birmingham for sure . Looking forward to go again.
Pushkar is a fine dine in restaurant with great service plus delicious food.
Best indian food in town. No match. Didn't get a chance to visit outlet but always ordered food online from here. Taste is very authentic for indian food
This is on my list from a long time and finally got a chance to visit this place. Tried chicken biryani and it tasted delicious. Staff were friendly and ambience was amazing. If you are looking for a place to taste delicious Hyderabadi dum biryani then this is the place.
Expected fine dining experience, staff were great and food was of a decent quality. Was great to see a slight Kenyan fusion within the names of some of the meals! The starters and the drinks were definitely the highlight of my visit.

We went to Pushkar to have dinner. We had ordered a table for 7 but due to last minute surprises we expected 8 people to turn up. The restaurant made us feel very uncomfortable and were rude cause they needed to arrange seating for an extra person.
Going to the food , since we were quite a big group we tried the entire bread basket along with some dhaal, butter chicken , mutton and lamb curry. As for vegetarians like me , they have good spread of paneer , Bhindi and potato curries. The bhindi curry wasn't great and very garlicky for my liking. The quantity of all dishes are in small portion as you would normally expect in a fine dining restaurant.
The drinks menu has quite a descent selection of cocktails and a few mocktails. Would definitely recommend the grape fusion mocktail for non alcoholics.
Overall if you are prepared to put through a bit of bad service in a really busy restaurant you might enjoy the food and the very well crafted and maintained decor of Pushkar.

For me, Pushkar has always held the top spot for Indian Cuisine in Birmingham. The decor, the welcome, the cocktails, the wine list and, of course, the food, has always been slightly ahead of the game.
We weren't disappointed last night. Starters consisted of a Trio of Mixed Murgh and a Veg Platter. I'm not sure what the Grilled Scallop Haryali added to the mix - it tasted of, well, Scallop!
Mains were Lamb Ghosht, Kadhai Murgh and Dal Makhani - a real delight and great companion for the Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc.
But guys, what is happening with the gents washroom? Some serious TLC and plumbing required here!
Overall, another great experience, although as the competition for food in Birmingham hots up, Pushkar will need to fight to hold on to that top spot!
One thing that stands out for this place is it's decor, It looks great and it feels great to be there. Location which happens to be Broad Street is another big plus. Visited on a friday night around 10 and it was almost full though it has got lots of space. Food is very nice however quantity is less, Drinks menu is ok. All in all a good place for a lovely fine dine experience.
One of the best fine dine Indian restaurants i have ever been in the UK. Delicious food with proper Indian Tadka and good ambience.
A must go to spend quality time with ur friends and loved ones.
Thank-You.

Birmingham Mail-PushkaR review by Paul Fulford. THERE is style and there is substance, but the two rarely meet.
Which was the fear I haboured before I ate at Pushkar, a new Indian restaurant on Birmingham's bustling Broad Street.
The decor is stunning - lots of pale colours broken by tasteful artwork and eye-catching light fittings.
You enter across a floor lit up like a shimmering blue pond inhabited by moving goldfish.
The chairs are plush and the table settings exquisite.
The wine list, cocktail list and menu, all on scented paper, arrive in a box.
They are brought by pretty and attentive waitresses in almost Grecian-style dresses in a shiny, muted fabric.
For those of us who are old enough to remember, it's like stepping on to the cover of a Roxy Music album circa 1980.
There's a feeling of luxury and slightly dissolute hedonism as you sit there.
Then comes the food from an admirably short menu whose main thrust is northern Indian.
And here my heart skipped a beat, for what we ate was very good indeed. Style and substance had met, shaken hands and formed a damned fine partnership.
The poppadoms we were brought were good, crisp things, though the garishly coloured ones struck me as more a novelty than a treat.
They came with very pleasant sauces.
My starter - Punjabi tokri chaat - was a wonderful collection of things.
There were chickpeas and salads and chutneys in a potato basket topped with an admirably crisp pastry filled with spinach.
My wife Lynn's crab cakes were also well received, as were our son Murray's dahi puri chaat - pastry shells filled with spuds and chickpeas and topped with yoghurt and tamarind sauce.
Main courses, too, delivered.
The awadhi gosht korma I ordered comprised absurdly tender lamb in a rich and delicate sauce with many layers of flavour.
Murray's palialashahi gosht, another lamb dish, likewise won approval.
Perhaps, though, the stars of the show were the creamy but sassy black lentils that Lynn ordered - a satisfying dish of remarkable depth of flavour. But her vegetable kofta dish ran it a close second.
Breads and rice were of a similarly high standard.
The garam masala brulee I ate as a pudding was exemplary in textures and spiced with sensible restraint.
Murray's carrot halwa was a sweet and beguiling thing.
However, Lynn thought the filling of her chocolate samosa a little too firm.
But this is a quibble about classy and tasty food prepared by Bishal Rasaly, a chef with a fine pedigree.
Our very reasonable bill also included cocktails and beer.

Pushkar, 245 broad street, birmingham. 0121 643 7978.
Puskar has become one of my go-to spot for Indian cuisine in Birmingham. The flavors are rich and authentic, and the presentation is always beautiful. Its definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend trying their Sharing platter.

Very expensive for the experience. The main meals were probably worth every penny but extraordinary prices for poppadoms £5 and mocktails £7. Having recently had a wonderful experience in Rajasthan paying £17 a head, I did expect to pay a little more for Broad Street location but £40 per head including a four year old was excessive. Their website fairly warns service charge will be added for tables of 6 so I was disappointed to be charged £26 service charge for a table of five without warning. Like I said, the main courses were delicious just be warned in advance about the price of "sundries" such as £5 garlic naan or one portion of steamed rice which seemed very steep. £8 for two bottles of water was also unwelcome when we hadn't requested bottled water. Finally, at £42 a mixed platter starter was again delicious but expensive. Great for a treat.
I have booked their private room for a business dinner with customers. The service, food options were superb. Nihar was looking after us, not to mentioned the excellent food
We realized last minute that one of our guest had her birthday that night, they brought an extra piece of chocolate cake for the celebration. All our 20 guests were delighted to their dinner at Pushkar. Thank you.
It's fair to say, the fact that I've been here 3 times, says I like it. I'm not one for expensive restaurants, so this wouldn't normally be somewhere I eat. But sometimes, as they say, you get what you pay for... So, at approx £50 a head, not only is this one of the more expensive restaurants I've been to, but it's also one of the nicest in terms of taste, decor, and quality. To add to that, the service and speed of service has ALWAYS been excellent. Long-story-short... I love it and you have to eat here (trust me!!!)
We really enjoyed it here. Not only was the service 5 star, but the food and vibes and drinks were amazing 👌👌 if your pakistani/indian, you can ask for desi style haandi and they will do just that and it tastes amazing. Will definitely be coming here again. Really made our night perfect, especially after experiencing bad restaurants elsewhere recently. Thank you!

The best service, delivered by serving staff member Sadiq, that I've experienced for a long time: perceptive, timely, tailored, professional, courteous & friendly.
Pushkar offers some of the best examples of British Indian dishes in Birmingham in bright, spacious, exuberant surroundings.
Arguably the best Indian food in and around Broad St but that's just my opinion. That said you will pay top dollar, a meal for two can cost anywhere between £50 - £100 but it's worth it if you can afford it.
My only gripe is that I wish there was a dish description on the menu, however the waiter can always assist - if they know.

This was authentic Indian food in that it tasted exactly how I have learned over 55 years Indian food should test: from my mother
2023 July
…. Based on my last experience I made a detour to revisit and rekindle those fantastic memories.
Oh dear: what a colossal disappointment across the board. Tandoori rotis where not as far as I could tell not from a tandoor, the subzi didn’t have the flavour that I would expect: it all tasted the same. The desert wasn’t as satisfying or smile-inducing as last time: when I was asked how’s the meal “the chef has changed?” was my response.
The restaurant’s ethos manifested when I asked why I was charged for the “tandoori roti” or what I was served that the restaurant called this, which I sent back, their reply was “well you did it some of”.
This restaurant is not for me and if I were offered an invitation to go even as a guest I’d decline.
Stylish, light Indian restaurant serving traditional flavours with a modern twist.
The food was great, staff attentive without being over the top and the cocktails were very dangerously tasty, and reasonably priced.
Best Indian food I’ve ever had
Bloke on Sunday 22nd in the stylish blue suit is a fantastic waiter with excellent customer service skills
