Lombardo Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Lads, I'm over for the weekend this weekend... Need a good recommendation for a good curry/balti house that is both cheap and tasty and preferably wont leave me stuck to the jacks with a hot ring for the weekend... Stuck this in the general chat thread but it got swamped with other meaningless stuff! Appreciate the help.... Heard about Adil's Balti house but not too sure so if you locals could pass on your local knowledge, i would be most obliged.... Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 16, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2011 Where are you staying? To be honest there's millions, so we could do with narrowing it down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yeah I feared that response was going to come. Staying in the Holiday Inn on Smallbrook Queensway. Am willing to jump in a taxi though if it means getting a decent curry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'd just say take a cab down to Ladypool Road and let your nostrils decide. You have to go to the Balti Triangle at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Curry Gardens just off Erdington highstreet....Best I've ever been into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm guessing the Balti triangle is on Ladypool road is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's centred around Ladypool Road, yeah. I really like the Balti Raj on Coventry Road too (near Swan Island) even if they only do takeaway grub, its bloody lovely. I just think if you are coming over as a visitor then it's quite a cool spectacle to see about 50 curry houses in one square mile. Definitely worth checking out. http://www.baltitriangle.com/planning.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am from Sutton and we usually get good variation of curry's, moved to the south side of Birmingham and have found a nice place called Sylhet Spice Cuisine in Kings Heath that is reminiscent of the ones I used to enjoy. No shortage really though, a decent one is usually a good one. Oh also do not go to Lasan Eatery, absolutely disgusting in service and quality.

choffer Posted March 16, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2011 Oh also do not go to Lasan Eatery, absolutely disgusting in service and quality. Agreed. Waited hours for our food last time. In fact the table next to us arrived 20 mins after us and had paid their bill before our mains arrived. The waiter made a song-and-dance out of the fact that he was going to knock something off the bill and when I checked, he'd taken £1 off! Not going there again.

privateer Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Yeah I feared that response was going to come. Staying in the Holiday Inn on Smallbrook Queensway. Am willing to jump in a taxi though if it means getting a decent curry! If you are staying in that part of town I'd go to the Maharaja in Hurst St. It's just round the corner from where you are staying and has been established for years. It's a traditional Tandoori style/old school Indian restaurant and you'll get better food from there than any Balti House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Made it to the Balti Triangle anyway.... Had dinner in Al Fraisals in the end... Excellent food and so cheap. The surrounding area was pretty dodgy though. We were walking out to the main road to grab a taxi and some small car pulled up with a few shady looking lads and asked us if we wanted some pot.... The lads were off their heads driving away, swerving all over the road.... All in all a good experience though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
