We've never been to Birmingham but we are going there in a few weeks. Where would you recommend?

Youre spoilt for choice!! My personal favourite is The Covered Wagon. It’s about 3 miles-ish from the City Centre but well worth the trip. Bus from centre drops you right outside

Anywhere we can reach easily on public transport. We don't know the area at all.

Taxi is probably best way to travel if you are going to Balti triangle.

Another vote for Dishoom here.

The food is excellent and authentic (take it from me, I'm a huge Indiaphile and I've been to India millions of times).

And according to their blurb, they treat their staff really well and donate some of their profits to charity in India. I can't vouch for this other than reading the blurb on their website so don't just take my word for it... but they seem decent.

Do you mean in the City Centre? The best curries in general are in Sparkhill/Sparkbrook.

I love Dishoom but I've not tried others in Birmingham so gonna watch this thread carefully for tips from those in the know!

Hen and chickens is very good, it’s not a traditional Indian tho, it’s a desi pub.

Lasan in St Paul's Square regularly gets voted as one of the best Indian restaurants in the UK.
