What are your fave restaurants in Birmingham? We live around Solilhull sides and tend to have a take-away mostly Friday or Saturday nights - also we do tend to eat out at restaurants quite often for family gatherings,social events - and i was hoping ppl culd tell me which are their fave desi restaurants/take-aways around Bham?
Any help would be much appreciated..
Cheers,
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
No one eats out in Bham then i take it? how sad....
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
I used to stay in Solihull area when i was there
I used to frequent Jimmy Spices a lot...in the town center
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
I've heard alot about the Jimmy Spices, but funnily enough i've never tried their food - was it proper desi style? (btw, where are u staying now then? u sed u use to stay in Solihull, have u moved out of UK or sumthng?)
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
Jimmy spices is a mixture of many cuisines - its a buffet of Mexican , Italian , Chinese and Indian
Its suited for parties because you have variety to suit different tastes…
I used to stay in touchwood hall close , near the town center
i had come to Uk on a WP for some assignment
I have returned to India since then

Few down on Ladypool Rd i.e. Lahore Karahi and Al Farash.
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
Ladypool Rd has the best ones I guess.........and there are quite a few good ones on Coventry Rd too; last one I went to was Zaika,......the food was good but you have to wait ages at restaurants....:( Thats what I hate.
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
The one on the Corner ..............?
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?
I've tried pretty much all the reputable places. In all honesty all the currys have been crap. The only restaurant worthy of a recommendation is Al-Faisal on Stoney Lane; round the corner from Lahore.
Lahore Kabab House do nice Kebabs surprise surprise. Deserts not bad either. Samosas microwaved = yuck. Currys taste crap.
The other decent place is Kafe Karachi. Nice Seekh Kebabas, nans and top masala fish. Cheaper than other places, has the Pakistan feel to it with hustling, TV blasting etc... I often make a visit here to feel like a Pakistani again.

Yeh, but sometimes the atmosphere of it is spoilt by the youths "rioting"...especially around the week after EID............
We tried Saffron a few weeks back..it was OK...a bit cramped though...
In Birmingham, I still love Imran's on Ladypool Road and there's apparently a new one on Stratford Road...heading away from town towards where Gohil Emporium is.....
If anyone is ever in Leicester then try Zaytoun or Mughal Darbar...they are both yummy...
Re: Favourite Desi Restarants in Bham?

Have you tried Shahi Qila in Blackburn?
That’s really nice…the setting and atmosphere are really good and selection and quality of food is to die for…
