"Sent my friend to pick up a $72 Togo order and they were rude as hell to him. Just flat out rude! He was so mad at how rude they were that he was temped to leave my food and go somewhere else! The dosa was horrible, chicken tikka masala was floating in oil and the least flavorful dish I’ve ever had in my life. Got served with Chinese sticky rice. Who the heck wants Chinese rice with Indian food? I spend $72 for 2 people to eat and I expect INDIAN RICE with my INDIAN FOOD! Just flat out cheap! The best part of the meal was my garlic naan that was burnt. I definitely won’t be back."

A superb dining experience. Hate that we couldn't sub for garlic nan or butter chicken though this time due to the new rules. I guess to get more customers in for dinner. All in all still enjoyable ???? View menu

We've been here a few times for business lunches, for the price point it's very nice, noise not too high so you can have a decent conversation. Be warned that they have a very good deal on their lunch specials but they are not actually on the menu ?? .

I had the Street Dosa. It was overly crispy, all for the sake of it standing up. It was so crispy that you can’t scoop out the masala because the dosa just crumbles away. The dosa was also overly oily. My hands were an oily mess. I couldn’t eat it. On top of all this, it’s $12 for a dosa. Across town in Hoover you can get an excellent dosa for $7. Don’t waste your money.

We went for lunch. The restaurant was less full than expected. It was more cafeteria-like in atmosphere than expected as well. It took longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was well presented and tasted fantastic. Sorry, no pics. We both had chicken dishes and were surprised and delighted at the amount of chicken in each. The menu is set out logically and include s notes for both potential allergens and for vegan/vegetarian options. We will return.

"If there is a restaurant that is a Birmingham institution among the wealthier crowd, there is literally only one name that locals would bring up, and it is undoubtedly Highlands. Not that there aren't other nice restaurants, but this spot has proven itself over time and is ran by a chef that most Alabamians are quite proud of. Opened in 1982, Highland's is a place that put Birmingham on the map in a positive way at a time when the post industrial iron period was about to wind down and transform the city. Frank formalized his cooking techniques by working in kitchens of San Francisco and France, creating a medley of American Southern and French cuisine that is difficult to find elsewhere. It was not a time when it was common to see a chef from Alabama going to study cooking in Europe, thus the story was already an anomaly. Frank Stitt was trying to pioneer sustainable agriculture and farming well before anybody in Alabama knew what in the world that actually meant or for that matter, cared. One of the signature items is the baked grits that has been around since the restaurant opened. It's a tasty grits preparation and without a doubt, something to try. The pheasant was spectacular, fairly lean and with a crispy delicious skin, served with grits and green beans. Pastries here are created by Dolester Miles, who has been in the job for well over 30 years. The opera cake is absolutely spectacular, gentle and complexly layered. The basque cake is peachy and moist, with a crispy delicious exterior and Chantilly cream. Not only are these likely the best desserts to discover in Alabama, but may be some of the best to be found in America. The attentiveness got derail was clearly evident. As far as service, generally fine, but not particularly attentive. The waitress did not seem in much of a mood to welcome people to the establishment. Many items on the menu were running out by 8:30pm on a Saturday night. Nobody was particularly impressed with the flounder that got substituted for the grouper. And then there are other questions, why would you run out of grits? They know they are always filled to capacity and ingredients to make grits are not immediately perishable. Highland's has by this point in Birmingham's history become a classic. It's evident that most people here have been around for decades working at their jobs and serving the rich crowds of Mountain Brook. It's a place of great food and shows many combinations of ingredients that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere, let alone be executed this well."
