Surprisingly we were the only people in there, on the busiest night of the year! Food came nice and quickly and was of reasonable quality. Value was pretty good.

So, first things first, the staff were kind, friendly and (mostly) professional. There endeth the positives. We arrived (Friday night in December, in the 2nd largest city in England) and there were 14 other people in the restaurant. 6 left quite soon after, seemingly happy. The restaurant was now, quite empty. Still we had booked, I'd bot seen my dining companion for too long and neither of us could face a search for another place. We sat down and ordered. At this point I think it i best described as slightly odd, faulty towers type experience. Would you like drinks? A cobra and an Americano". I'm sorry we don't have americano, but I can do a black coffee..or a white coffee. My companion asked for a black coffee. "Would you like milk or cream with that?". No, just black please. A pause, a few minutes later "we've sold out of cobra". that was a little hard to believe but I happily ordered a madri. Food we ordered a curry (with a basket of poppadoms) and a steak (Rare). After quizzing us about just how bloody we wanted the steak the waiter left and, a short while later, a basket of poppadoms arrived. Burnt. I didn't send them back as it felt quite appropriate. Anyway, we finished those and the mains came. We were immediately asked if we were enjoying it (less than a minute). After a few more minutes - the waiter asked how the steak was. How off putting he finds bloody food and couldn't eat that. So in effect he'd just said "how can you eat that food I just served you". Quite remarkable. The curry looked like a microwave meal. It wasn't. It was cooked ok. Put, for a pathia,, was more "raisin flavoured" than you would expect. No raisins noted in the food however. I then took a jaunt to the toilets. There were some way away, and the stairs felt "sticky' It was a shame really. The staff were nice and we really wanted to enjoy it. But in truth, as soon as we walked in, we should have left the lack of custom on one of the busiest nights of the year was the clue.

I am quite new to Birmingham and my English isn’t the best the waiter went the extra mile to translate for me to help me make up my mind what to eat. The food was amazing and full of flavour. The atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming and I will return soon.

Had a really lovely date night here recently. I’ve seen a few of their videos online and we had to go and try the most popular dish. The Seafood boil was absolutely amazing, so much flavour (big portion too). Highly recommended dish and place to go!! Lovely cosy place and service was top, can’t fault it.

When it come’s to a seafood boil The carbon Cycle Birmingham is the one! The flavors are a delightful fusion of spices that truly awaken the taste buds. The blend of Indian herbs and seasonings with fresh seafood creates a culinary experience that is both exotic and satisfying. The aromatic curry-infused seafood paired with traditional Indian sides like naan or rice is a treat for the senses. As for the service, it was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, the service was prompt, friendly, and accommodating. The waitstaff's professionalism added to the overall enjoyment of the meal, making it a memorable dining experience.
