I've never really heard people talk about this place, but thought might check it out. It is most the time quite empty I don't know why though because the food is lovely! I had their special burger meal and it was quite cheap but a big amount of food for the price. I was pleasantly surprised.
The waiters were polite and attentive. Except one waiter was trying to "flirt" and put his number on the business card and handed it over saying "if you would like to order anyday give me a call". Which is not acceptable as it is not a dating place it is a place to go and eat.
We visited Poncho Khana whilst on a recent trip to Birmingham. Local friends highly recommended this restaurant and we weren't at all disappointed. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. The service was a little slow but this was compensated by the excellent food. We were in a group of 5 and shared the dishes so got a good idea of the different items available on the menu. The signature Naga Roll was delicious but be wary if you don't have a palate for spicy food. My favourite main was the Poncho Khana House Special Biryani. I personally preferred the Indian fare although they have some great tasting gourmet burgers. They have a limited but tasty selection of deserts and serve traditional Indian tea. Overall the dining experience was truly memorable and I will definitely visit again when next in the area.

Visited with Bengali friends last night and it was a real treat!
The service deserves 5 ⭐: The staff are so warm and welcoming, and explained the menu patiently for those of us that didn't know much about Bangla cuisine. They took much care from start to finish checking everything was okay and offered complementary starters and dessert!
We ordered a seekh kebab, butterfly prawns and nargisi kofta in starters and ayre bhuna, fish kofta bhuna, jhingri bhuna and chicken biryani in mains. Both kebabs were so moist and flavourful and the prawns fell a little flat in comparison. The curries were decent overall but the tandoori jhingri bhuna was absolutely delicious and the best dish at the table! Biryani was good too. The portions were generous and the prices fair.
We were offered the Malai sandwich/chom chom sandwich for dessert which tasted okay-ish. However similar to some previous reviews, we also thought it should be advertised as a Bangladeshi restaurant rather than an Indian one going by the menu.
Ambience wise it's a nice space. The place offers a variety of take away dishes and sweets. Finding parking can be a challenge during weekends and busier hours of the day.
Overall a really good find!

My family and travelled up from London just to eat at Poncho Khana and we were not disappointed! Everything from the delicious food, friendly service and calm atmosphere was well worth the drive!
I really enjoyed the chingri bhuna and my family loved the selection of traditional Bangladeshi fish curries. I highly recommend going on a Friday to try their Jummah special ‘Murog Pulao’ which was absolutely delicious!
They also serve a wide selection of traditional vegetarians dishes and have two seating areas, making it the perfect place to dine with family and friends.
Service was exceptional - we were served by Kamal who was very kind and accommodating, and we also met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming :)
My only negative is I wish they’d advertised this as a Bangladeshi restaurant as oppose to an Indian restaurant. This restaurant celebrates mouth watering Bangladeshi cuisine and it should be advertised as such.
In my opinion, Poncho Khana is the best Bangladeshi restaurant in the UK and my family and I will be back very soon! :)
The best authentic Bangladeshi restuant in West Midlands. Deshi style food is the main reason it brings me back again and again.
Every dish is unique and has its own flavour unlike your Indian restaurant which has same base sauce.
The hospitality and service is next to none. Brother Dulal Miah makes all his customers feels welcomed. Has a geniun talk and laugh.
Always looking forward to going back again and again.

Best bengali style food in West Midlands complimented by quality service. Never been disappointed.
Best for bangladeshi traditional food. Loved all the bhorta's. I'll definitely go there again if I get chance. Also the customer service was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend.
I visited PONCHOKHANA after someone very highly recommended this place. Three of us went there to try there Poincha bhuna (bone marrow?) Sinar mangsho bhuna (beef dish) and Hilsha dim bhuna (Hilsha fish eggs). We also ordered mixed vortha which was okay. The first three dishes was amazing with extra green chilles. They provided complimentary Piaji (onion pakora), mango pickle, pickled olive,pickled jalapeños and big tray of salad at the beginning. After the very tasty meal we were provided complimentary Gulab Jamun as dessert. We ordered some Tea also. The tea brought back the memory of Bangladeshi chai which was served with Jaggery and sugar. Overall it was very nice evening. Next time we will of course try the other dishes. The price was very reasonable, the service was fantastic. (Ohh yeah they provide faan-gua also 😄)
Definitely one of the best Bangladeshi food places in UK. Stopped off on my up up north from London, it was well worth the detour, I will definitely visit again.
Came with family, brilliant service from start to finish.
Nothing was too much trouble, the staff are ultra friendly.
After we ordered they have us complimentary pakoras while we wait.
Food came in no time at all and was absolutely delicious.
Prices are very reasonable and atmosphere is great.
This is a great place to come if you want authentic bengali food.
They have a vast menu to suit everyone.
Will definitely be back soon!
Also gave us free gulab jamun at the end.
I went there with some friends, it was very nice. The customer service is very good, they take care of you. The food is very nice. We have enjoyed our moment. Thanks you brothers 💪🏽
