    Pushkar - Garam masala brulee

    Birmingham is one of the two capitals of Indian food in England (the other one being Bradford). It…read moreis home to Balti dishes, and Balti houses abound all over the city. With so many great-tasting and reasonably-priced Indian food options around, it is quite impressive that a higher end, pricier Indian restaurant like Pushkar has established a loyal clientele. Pushkar sets itself apart from other Indian restaurants in the area due to its upscale setting, the high quality of its food ingredients, and especially its creative dessert offerings. My first dining experience at Pushkar was purely by chance. I was staying near Brindley Place, and happened to be walking past the restaurant, when I decided to stop and check out the menu. The duck masala sounded interesting, so I decided to try it, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The thick tomato-based curry had a fantastic flavor profile that consisted of garlic, ginger, black pepper and red chilies. It paired well with basmati rice and a side of raita. Since my first visit, I have dined at Pushkar a few more times, and have always enjoyed everything I have tried. The murgh korma stands out as a rich, creamy, nutty curry dish that is perfect for you if you are in the mood for something less spicy. The innovative desserts at Pushkar are a major draw for me. The gajar ka halwa tart with pistachio ice cream is my personal favorite. The garam masala brulee sounded interesting, but didn't taste too different from regular crème brulee; the garam masala in it was really only a hint of cinnamon. It still was pretty tasty. The chocomosa is a filo samosa filled with chocolate and roast almonds, and is served with a scoop of cappuccino ice cream. Why had nobody else ever thought of creating a chocolate samosa, and if they did, why had I never eaten one before? Friends, if you find yourselves in Brummy, you must treat yourselves to a meal at Pushkar. It is truly deserving of all of the awards that have been bestowed upon it, including the 2015 British Curry Award, the 2015 Best of Broad Street Award, and the 2015 English Curry Award.

    Elevated Indian food. Loved the tandoori tofu! The vegetable korma, saag paneer and lamb shank…read morewere all excellent and the mushroom rice was a perfect accompaniment. Rocky was our server and was excellent. I was a bit miffed that they didn't have any Rieslings or wines that pair well with Indian Food. We have Rose Champagne - good but surprised at the lack of wines that are notorious for working well with Indian food.

    The Vine is a famous indian BBQ pub in brom, not as good as Desi2 but this place is more welcoming…read more The BBQ is ordered right at the back past the bar.

    The Vine for dinner?! Yes, please!!!…read more Sooo, it's too bad that I'm working in Birmingham. Otherwise, I'd become a regular here. I came here because Hitesh C. Recommended this place to me. It sounded attractive because I've never heard of Indian BBQ. Indian + BBQ are two words I've never heard together before. Add "pub" to this equation --- UNHEARD OF! Indian BBQ Pub. I don't think we have that in the states... :( **By the way, I'm not necessarily "into" pubs, but because of the two words preceding pub for this place, I decided that it sounds unique enough! Indian BBQ Pub, here I come! So, what is so great about this place that I'm going to give it 5 stars after just one visit? Ambience: as you can see from the picture I posted, it's a very comfortable looking place - nothing fancy as it is only a pub! The inside is actually quite large and spacious. There are a total of about 5 or 6 rooms (for seating). The first 3 rooms are tiny to small rooms (between 3-6 mini-tables). There are two larger Roos with many tables: 1 large room is located in the pub, whereas the other larger room is where the BBQ roast is. I believe there was a medium sized room as well. Very casual and comfortable place. (Confession!! I wanted to take more pics of the place inside to show you guys what it looks like, but ... I didn't want to look like TOO much of a tourist, so I tried to play it cool. Maybe next time I'll be bold enough. Taking pics of the food ... that was a reach for me here! ;) ......) Cost: the price is right!!!! The two beers we ordered cost 3.20 GBP. 2 orders of split roast chicken were just over 5 GBP. The cost of curries were 3-4 GBP. Rice was approximately 1.5 GBP. Whatever the prices are now and I'm sure will be ... They're reasonable!! Its not outrageous! Food: good. All of it was good. I won't even try to describe. Shout out to Hitesh C. For the heads up about this place. Absolutely loved it!!!
