Hi Brummie! Welcome!

Where is the best balti is brum? This summer i was visiting the Royal Naim on the stratford road and it was really tasty http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=1093.0
Wondering if you know of any that are as good/better.

I only get over to brum once a year, so i try to make it worth while when im there.

Regards Ashes

Hi Ash.

Well you certainly can't go wrong if you go to LadyPool Road, Sparkhill/Sparkbrooke. That's the home of the balti and where it originated. There are also too many balti houses to count as well. Your hardest decision is which one to go in, there litterally are too many there.

My other favorites are;
Balti Garden - Run by Bangladeshi's not indians - Corner of Manor Park Road/Chester Road, Castle Bromwich. Small tidy restaurant above a Cafe with truely excellent Balti.
Titash - Coventry Road Sheldon, (at the big set of traffic lights, on the right hand side if you are heading towards Birmingham City Centre) medium sized excellent restaurant. All curries are lovely, excellent balti's.
Shahimilal - Coleshill Road, Ward End. (At the traffic lights opposite corner to the Fox and Goose Pub) Small restaurant with excellent food.

I myself am not entirely sure what is in a balti, i have tried and tried my hardest to get a recepie off a balti chef, but they will never part with the information. I can only assume its some sort of carrot/onion base and has some fenugreek in.

I have read that other thread, might try that place myself if i find myself over that way one day.

Hi WelshinNZ

i recon you and Currylover_NZ should open an indian restaurant or takeaway and show the Kiwi's how its done proper style.

Hello there all.

I am curry mad and always have been, i have curry pumping through my veins. Since stumbling on this site a few weeks ago, i have to tip my hat to the person(s) that got this site off the ground. Thanks a lot, its a fantastic site.

Being a brummie my favorite curry is a Balti and it has to be a good one. But i do love all sorts of curries like Ceylon and Dhansak too.

So far i have only got as far as http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,179.0.html which is Curry Kings gravy and vindaloo. My my, its an excellent vindaloo, just like from the takeaway. I have had about 6 vindaloos so far so its almost time to try something else.

I have a lot of work ahead of me getting through all the bases and recipies on here and I will give feedback after them. Balti's ahoy.

Once again thanks guys.
