    I think I am going to say it…read more.. This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Birmingham City Centre! Manzil's is situated about a minutes walk from the Bull Ring and people in the know who know about curry know what I am talking about with this place. When you walk in, you are met with a homely and friendly atmosphere which makes it a delight to eat in. It's an old school curry house which I love. I really like the wallpaper! I have got to know the waiters as I have visited so many times, who are really chatty and are always happy to see you. If you see Hakeem, he loves his Football! The music they play is so random and unexpected. The last visit I made, they were playing Britpop hits of the 1990's haha On this visit, I was with 4 friends from down south who were visiting me for the day, who are tough critics I may add! I had the Chicken Pakora which was a great starter and just the right size to begin the meal. For the main course I had a lovely Dhansak which was really filling with Pilau rice. Manzil's speciality is their sizzling dishes which provides a good alternative if you are not in the mood for a hearty curry. The biggest surprise came when the bill arrived and we split it. One of my friends said "That price wouldn't even get you a starter which isn't half as good as that in London." Says it all really!

    Whilst it's been awhile since I've been here, and if I'm honest every time I've been there it's…read morebeen exceptionally quiet. Like we are the only ones in there quiet. I'd put it down to them doing more sales via delivery. But judging by the reviews of this place it's not a well kept secret. I was brought her as a 'proper curry virgin' by experiences prior had been out of a jar and pub curries. According to a friend this was unacceptable, so off we went. I can't remember what I ordered. I know it was vegetarian and not spicy - I can't do spicy as much as I try. You get a lot for your money, going for an Indian can be an expensive affair but this was reasonable by the amount of food received. The service as well is excellent, always smiling and helpful. I really must go again, I whole heartedly suggest the rest of you do too.

    Great little Indian restaurant…read more Went here with a group-on deal and usually with those deals the places you go to give you a special menu and make you feel like a second class diner. We didn't get that with this place. We had a large choice on the menu with the deal and for a couple of extra quid could order anything not covered. I had a King Prawn dish and my mate has one of the Chicken dishes, plus we had nan and rice. The prawns were a good size and the both dishes very tasty. Not much chilli at all too, which i liked. The décor is modern, rich in purples and brown, and the room is fairly small. Be good for a groups of 5-6 max in the booths. Definitely would go again.

    Royal Bengal is another top notch, centrally located curry house in Birmingham. It's in close…read moreproximity to Broadstreet, New Street train station and even has the Radisson Hotel pretty much directly opposite. So on a night out in Birmingham city centre there's no excuse not to check it out. In fact one of the only problems could be spotting it, as it is located above a fast food restaurant, however don't allow that to deter you as the experience and the meal are not to be missed. They do all the curry classics and as well as that have the beer on tap so there's no need to lug around a carrier bag full of cans if you're after a beer or two to wash down your food. As well as that they offer discounts for party bookings which include more than five people, which is great news if you are out with a bunch of mates. Overall another great example of Birmingham's brilliant curry scene.

    One of my favourite places to eat curry is at Grameen Khana on Ladypool Road…read more The food is consistently good and they offer a range of Bangladeshi dishes that I haven't seem in other restaurants. Chot Poti is a great vegetarian starter dish (although you'll be struggling to eat all of your main course after). It's a chick pea dish with plenty of chilli and toped with crispy onions and egg. The Desi roast is excellent too; the chicken just falls off the bone. The selection of main courses is great. The specials offer something a little different Shobji Chicken and the Chicken Sashlick Bhuna are great as is the Grameen Special Chicken Balti. Our favourite lamb dish is the Haleem which is like a stew with really soft slow-cooked lamb. You can bring your own drinks and there is an off-license right next door. The Decor is contemporary and spotlessly clean. There is an indoor waterfall and a TV that is usually showing a Bollywood film but without sound. The staff are generally pleasant and efficient. They have a remote control buzzer contraption on the table so you can request service, drinks (non alcoholic) or your bill.

    Grameen Khana stands out as a relatively new addition to the Ladypool and let's face it, if you're…read morea curry house on the Ladypool Road standing out is an important part of distinguishing yourself from the many curry houses on offer. Grameen is distincive with it's brightly lit green livery and super fancy water features, giving it a very modern and luxurious appearance. Turns out the place is Bangladeshi and so searching for a bit of authenticity I ordered from the fish menu. After the waiter corrected me on my Bangladeshi pronounciation and warned that this particular dish contained bones, I had the option of going for a more familair choice but stuck to my guns and went with the fish dish, much to the combined admiration and consternation of my fellow diners. A large TV played on the back wall be it muted and the water feature really was quite a novel touch which did attract our eye whilst waiting for our food. The fish dish arrived and was tasty and well marinated, working through the bones, I enjoyed the fleshy bits and we all traded dishes to compliment or query each others choices. What we did notice was that a large Bangladeshi family had take the table at the rear and this was another endorsement of Grameen Khana along with the tasty grub.

    The good people of Britain are in debt to Adils. Way back in 1977 when a Findus crispy pancake…read morewould be classed as an adventurous dinner, a family arrived from northern Kashmir, bringing with them the very first Balti to these shores. From this small restaurant on a residential street in Stoney Lane led to the famous Balti Triangle, as well as a national obsession of going for a curry, with or without the seven pints of lager beforehand in the pub. I, like many others, am prone to waking up on a Sunday morning with a sore head, curry on my shirt and stained fingers. It's my badge of honour, earned over many years of king-sized naans and table-top renditions of songs from The Little Mermaid. Going to Adils would be my Jerusalem; the place I could dip my daily bread into the hallowed pressed-steel Balti dish. The recently refurbished dining room has succeeded in making it look like a spruced up version of all the other curry houses in the Triangle. Whatever they have done has worked; an hour after its opening time they are already turning tables and we see others waiting through the partitioned glass wall that separates the booze-free bar and thickly carpeted dining room. Crisp popadoms fill a hole whilst the starters are cooked. Grease-less vegetable pakora, delicately spiked with turmeric and cumin, are a large portion for the bargain two pounds. Being the heat freak that I am, the very sight of green of green chilli bhaji on the glossy menu made me twitch down below. What came was five complete chillies, seeds and all, each adorned in a light batter that added more spice to the mix. It was an addictive whack of heat, lip numbing and life affirming. I took two home in a box with the intention of eating them for lunch the following day. They are still there. I am too scared. But we are here for the Balti, lets not forget. Two of them, each ordered from the chefs special menu would test both ends of the spectrum. A garlic chilli chicken was tame in heat compared to the starter, whilst a Makhan chicken owed more to a traditional butter chicken than a Balti, with its creamy texture and almond powder. Both had small pieces of pre-cooked poultry with a spongy texture and a complex level of spicing garnered from forty years of cooking the same dish. I'd like the recipe for the garam masala at the root of these dishes. A peshwari naan was superb; light, supple, and not overly sweet. With the dessert menu looking like a fine collection of freezer favourites, we pay the twenty-five-quid bill and leave. Is it the best Balti I have ever eaten? No, not by a long shot. But it is a good example, cheap and in pleasant surroundings. Adil's call themselves the Balti pioneers, which seems accurate. Indian food has evolved since they took up shop four decades ago, though there is always room for the originators, provided the passion is still there. Adils is still firing on all cylinders. Here is to another Forty.

    Decent curry house with a lot of heritage as far as I can understand! My family have been going…read morehere for years. I decided I would go for a mixed kebab starter (which was probably the highlight of the meal) and a lamb kebab balti with garlic naan....as I wasn't going out after...or it could have been a disastrous choice haha. The curry was good but having asked for something slightly hotter it wasn't hitting the spot. It was still relatively mild....if I came here again I think I would go for a madras or hotter. So just a note....conservative spice levels. The service could not have been better and the prices seem sound. It worked out at around £100 for 6 of us to all have a starter and a main and just a huge note..... BYOB - Bring your own booze. These wondrous unlicensed places need to be celebrated!! I'd say if you are looking for a relatively cheap curry house with A -OK food this is a great shout.

    Saba is a very nice family-owned Persian restaurant in Moseley…read more Their menu is very reasonably priced, with incredibly large portions and really friendly management and staff! The Kebab Kobedah (ground lamb) is delicious, as are the many assorted starters served with naan bread- I especially enjoyed the mast o khyar (yoghurt with cucumber) and mirza qasemi (a smoked aubergine and garlic dish). If you fancy tea after your meal, they do a lovely Persian tea service. The tea is really strong! Great for large groups-- I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Moseley, or looking for excellent home-cooked Persian food in Birmingham!

    Saba is a local, family owned Persian restaurant…read more The food here is absolutely fantastic. I got a lamb shank with rice, raisins, and carrots. The lamb shank that came with my food was huge (I took the left overs home with me and got 2 extra meals out of it), so keep that in mind if that's what you're going to order. Although, the owner mentioned that he may be speaking to his butcher about getting smaller lamb shanks because it was a bit difficult to eat due to it's size. I was at a table with 6 people, who all got different dishes (all more reasonable sizes that the lamb shank), and not a single person was disappointed. We finished off the meal with some Persian tea, which the owner was kind enough to offer us free of charge (probably because we were a large group). Throughout the meal the server (who I think was also the owner) was extremely attentive, friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend Saba to anyone in Mosley! In fact, it's good enough that if you don't live in Mosley, it's really worth taking a trip to eat here.
