Served with rice and sauted vegetables, these healthy dishes showcase our commitment to traditional Indian cooking methods while maintaining modern dietary standards through minimal oil usage.
Balti & Karai
Specialising in Birmingham-style Balti cuisine, we prepare dishes using woks over open flames to create distinctive caramelised flavours. Our recipes combine fresh spices with quality ingredients, offering both traditional and contemporary interpretations of this popular regional dish format with appropriate portion sizes for individual and shared dining experiences.

Prepared with unique spice blends, these meals offer balanced nutrition while maintaining authentic Indian flavours.

Ordered via Justeat. Waited ages. Prices very expensive. Then the restaurant cancelled the order! Please avoid there are better and cheaper Indian restaurants. Really really unprofessional to accept a delivery and then cancel after such a prolonged time period.

Food was very good and initially service excellent On person in our group of 6 brought a bottle of wine and 3 people had a small glass We were charged 18 for corkage When we questioned this we were told that they had explained the corkage charges to us which they most definitely had not That was the end of the goodwill as they were basically calling us liars
Never again will we go there

Might be coincidence, but my card suffered fraud on it after using it at the terminal at the business the next day early hours of the morning. That aside, food was average, not poor by any means, but certainly not worth the money. Was expecting a cut above the rest as I used to use Kebabish in Sutton and the food was excellent - as well as the service. The tender chicken strips I remember from Kebabish had turned into small bite-size pieces - as if cut up for a child. Remember them being a lot better quality Kebabish. Not sure if it's the same owners - but was a much better service and food. Wouldn
