A good standard no-major-frills meal. Friendly staff, good varied menu and tasty. Parking is easy, park around the back. Expect to pay about £25/30 per person. This restaurant is licensed.

I have a great affinity for this place because I met my wife (to be) 32 years ago and this is where we first dined together. We have been back again and again over the years with a changing landscape in Knowle and Dorridge for good Indian restaurants. The competition is fierce but with The Bilash and Café Saffron now gone, even Lloyds didn't survive intact after Covid. Luckily though, The Ellora is still here and doing very well, probably because it's extremely good, just look at how busy it gets. I had the Chicken tikka puri to start, which was gorgeous and then we had mains of: Chicken biryani and Sea bass chittagong. The latter Sea bass was mine and is marinated in spices and served with a sauce comprising of coconut cream & lime; absolutely amazing. We are familiar enough with curry houses around us to know The Ellora is seriously good. The mere fact that few are anywhere near as busy as here says it all. Definitely the best for us with great service too.

Just popped in for takeaway, but was treated like staying guests by very polite and attentive waiters. Food was just as fantastic when we got home.

Four of us dined here. Food was not to our satisfaction. Thick gloopy sauce on prawn on puri lacking in taste. Chicken garlic chill curry was covered in a thick red sauce similar to the prawn puri completely lacking in authenticity or resembling anything which resembled a regular Indian curry. During our meal the waiter decided to vacuum the carpet emitting a strong smell which was very off putting and inappropriate. I will never dine here again. Terrible food.

The food was well prepared and tasty, but you have to wait. Post the order you may need to wait for atleast 20 minutes before they reach your table...

We visited ellora last night for the 1st time, having wanted to go for a while finally made it. The food was delicious, we had 4 different dishes with nans and rice and it was great value for money. A good drinks menu aswell! The staff that run it were friendly and we had a wonderful evening and already deciding when to go next.

Ordered 2 different curries both completely over salted and running in yellow oil, not an authentic curry, lacked proper spices and flavour, Nan bread not much better. This was the worst curry we have had in a long time not really edible - provided constructive feedback to the staff who struggled to understand, in fact were not the friendliest of waiters contrary to what you normally find in this type of restaurant, appeared very tired, uninterested in customers. Similar to previous review vacuuming around takes while people eating is not good. If you want a decent curry try Asher?s in Bham or get a jar - but not the Ellora. On a good point Malbec was ok for the price?

Food was awful, three different curry dishes all completely saturated with tomato purée and over salted. Rendering food almost inedible. Whilst we were eating one of the staff members proceeded to vacuum the carpet from which emanated a horrible smell. Not an enjoyable experience.
