"Although it's only a mile or so from where I live and although I'm a great lover of Indian sub Continent food, it was the first time that I had been there, I went with two friends last night (13 Feb). Panshi is situated in a U shaped road that leads to Hinchley Wood Railway Station. The moment we stepped in, we felt that the restaurant gave out a welcoming atmosphere. I counted 11 tables all of which were rapidly filled shortly after our arrival. The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. I had my usual (chicken pasanda, tarks dal and a stuffed paratha); my friends ordered lamb biriani, lamb pathia, a keema nan and rice. My pasanda was probably the best one I had ever tasted, the tarka dal was perfectly thickened and the stuffed paratha was good (although a little thin). All dishes were thoroughly enjoyed. Prices are reasonable and in line with equivalent restaurants. The restaurant and the lavatories were immaculately clean. Parking (after 6pm) outside or close by is a doddle. I can't find anything to criticise about Panshi. It appears that the restaurant is normally filled with local residents so booking is highly advisable!! Other reviewers, I note, give high recommendations; I'm adding mine. NB Readers (if any) of my various reviews may have noticed that I have yet to write an unfavourable one. Be assured that my standards really are exacting and any faults are recorded in my reviews. I guess I've been very fortunate in visiting good/excellent restaurants."

"Myself and partner visited the restuarant as I know it for years but not been there for years. Anyway, the restuarant was clean and nice. However can I say the food did taste satisfactory like home cooked. we chose the set menu and asked for bread with olive oil and basalico. 1. The waiter gave us french bread stick baguette cut up which was charged at £2.00. This was completely the wrong bread for it- not sour dough bread which is for this pre starter which is what one should get a shame on this establishment and so cheap! 2. First plate : I ordered the pasta with sausage and tomato which was very good, however my partner has the liver pate ' which when brought looked terrible and incredibly poorly presented with 'cheap ' sandwich toasted cut bread. No presentation 3. Second plate : Chicken with cream tomato sauce was ok but the vegetables where again poorly presented and just boiled. Lacked complete imagination and presentation 4. The head waiter /owner has dirty trousers on serving customers! 5. Coffee: coffee after meal was poor compared and was not kimbo or lavazza 6. The bill including 2 × set menus, only one large of sparking water, 2 small coffees and bread plus 12.5 service charge was £50 for two people no alcohol or desert 7. Coffee cups were dirty and not washed properly and had been missed Summary Casa mia served us ‘Hospital standard’ cooked food that is satisfactory but lacked imagination in presentation to almost over cooked, non any kind atmosphere, not even italian music was played!! Come on?? Staff presentation was satisfactory and food passable to be edible. Honestly there are better places in east Moseley village to eat for that money and we won 't go back there."
