Jivan's - Wolverhampton

Jivan's is the bomb. I spent much of my college years partying in this horrible town and I never once thought to visit this place. Then one of my good friends in my later years promised me this would be a great place for a curry. So initial thoughts is it definitely looks outdated outside and in but surprisingly it is not all that uncomfortable with the old wooden decor. I will admit in around 20 visits here I have only ever order the one dish and that is the minced lamb curry with naan, it is that good! It is a family run restaurant and they are very awesome folk who work here. I have only ever been during the week so not sure what the weekend rush is like.

Jivans in Wolverhampton is my go-to spot for curry for a number of reasons. The prices are very reasonable - my friend and I recently dined on rice and curry, shared a naan, and each had a pint of Indian lager for under £10 each! The curry is delicious and served in generous portions in a balti dish. Their chicken tikka sizzler starter is also fantastic at £8.00 (serving 3/4 people). Takeaway options are available as well. Jivans has a high hygiene score of 4 stars on the Wolverhampton council website, beating out more expensive restaurants. While the atmosphere is casual with simple tables, it's the perfect spot for a quick curry after a night of drinks or before a theatre show. Great food, generous portions, and fantastic prices make Jivans my top choice for curry in Wolverhampton.

The food at this restaurant is excellent, with attentive service. If you're in the area and craving Indian/Pakistani cuisine, you won't be disappointed with a meal here.

An excellent little curry house that gives phenomenal value for money. Generous main course portions and sharing platters are the cheapest and amongst the best in town. The fact you can take your own alcohol makes Jivans a very affordable option for the more cash conscious. Small tables are squeezed into a small area which may sound a little too cosy for some people but actually makes the place even more charming. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing! The food is delicious and affordable. I adore the atmosphere... an old pub with lots of character. The highlight for me was the fantastic woman who served us. She was able to memorize everyone's orders without writing them down, with a warm and welcoming smile. Amazing!
