Established since 2010, this restaurant has fast become popular for providing a variety of cuisines…read morein family-friendly surroundings. Lazzat is a buffet restaurant that serves Arabic, Kashmiri, Italian and Chinese cuisine, which is an odd combination that adds to its uniqueness. The buffet area is expansive with separate starters, dessert and salad counters. The main dishes surround the area with a stir fry stand at the end where a chef prepares your noodles freshly before your own eyes. Considering it's a halal restaurant, I was impressed by the range of vegetarian dishes provided. The food is a little bland for my taste buds, which means it would be universally appealing. The design has an Arabic feel to it with the emphasis on gold and grandeur. The staff are bubbly and helpful, which gives the restaurant a relaxed feel. The car park is limited although you'll probably find parking on the side road.

When my friend recommended we went there for her Birthday meal it was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. When we arrived we had a table reserved for 8 of us which the waitress led us to. They had put a few balloons and table decorations out which I thought was nice although this could have been down to my friends mum I'm not sure! Although the inside of the restaurant wasn't as glamorous as other venues I tend to go, the food I ordered was presented nice and I could taste a lot of additional flavourings such as basil. We ordered a few bottles of wine for the table and the waitress was always on hand to ensure our glasses were never empty and the table was always clear. All in all the service was excellent, venue OK and food tastier than expected.

Generally, most of these restaurants have catered well for vegetarians so I've just opted for that. However, Lahore Karahi disappointed me. It's more of a fast-food diner than restaurant. And that isn't just a reflection of their tacky decor but also the greasy fast food that is ready in minutes. And their menu has little to offer vegetarians other than chips, which are actually thin, greasy fries. Don't expect comfortable seating. The chairs are plastic and tables have seen better days. Although the restaurant seems to be doing well considering its open all hours (or at least whenever I've passed!) and it's usually bustling with diners. However this could be because they're open till late and offer cheap, fast food. I went once but won't be going again.

For great value and fantastic quality Pakistani cuisine, it doesn't get much better than this…read more Located on the border of Moseley and Balsall Heath, Lahore is a spacious, modestly decorated restaurant and takeaway offering a wide range of both meat and vegetarian dishes of varying hotness. The absolute best thing about Lahore is that it offers an 'all you can eat' deal for a little over £7 that incorporates all the main dishes plus sundries and naan bread. Drinks are extra, and I can personally recommend the mango lassi as a perfect palate-cooler after you've enjoyed some of the spicy treats on offer. Strongly recommended, it's definitely worth the trip. The only downside is that it can be a little tricky to find somewhere to park. If you can walk it, do so.

I had a last minute call from my Brother last night saying that he was going to Akbars and did I…read morewant to go.....obviously with the temptation of a restaurant I haven't tried before I couldn't resist.....30 minutes later was being picked up to go and see what it was all about. The restaurant itself is on the Hagley Road just a little bit up from Five Ways in a large white building. You walk in and are instantly hit by the grandeur of the place with marble, statues and artwork all over the restaurant and reception areas. We needed to wait for a table so were given a buzzer and were invited to take a seat at the bar. We were quickly seated and shown the food menus after about 10 minutes.....when you don't ave a reservation I think thats pretty good! The food is very much what you would expect from a curry house with a huge list of classic curry dishes and starters. We went for popadoms and dips to start....I then went for chicken pakora and shish kebabs as my main.....I had already eaten before I left the house so was just being greedy at this point....this was my attempt at having something healthier haha. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious and the prices were really reasonable! Both starters were only around £3.50 a plate and were a good size portion! I was going to be super harsh and give this place four stars due to a slightly dirty menu and the fact the tables are pretty close together but can you really mark somewhere down for being busy and popular? The staff here cannot do enough for you and I think its a great touch that the chefs bring out the food! If you want a curry....at a reasonable price.....in an interesting setting...why not give this place a go.

A personal favourite is the chicken korma with pilau rice nad peshwari nan and their vegetarian dishes are just simply moorish! On time my family and I used their function room to celebrate a birthday. It's a decent sized but probably not recommended for fifteen or more people because of the capacity. To be honest I think the tables and chairs took up most of the room. The service is good but for some reason the standards lower when they have large parties; it's like they slow down and sometimes get a little stressed.

Our starters and main courses were delicious, but the desserts were disappointing. They were obviously not made on-site and did not match the quality of the rest of the food. We arrived at the restaurant about 45mins before closing time, so we were the only customers there, hence the atmosphere was not as we had hoped. The staff were friendly though and patient, even though they were closing up soon. Pricier than Al Faisal's indian restaurant, but if you adhere to a halal diet, it's a great place to spend a little extra for a halal authentic italian bolognese or lasagne.
