Alum Rock Kebab House in Birmingham

The Keema Aloo Curry was lumpy and you could smell the fat when you opened the lid. The Veg Pakore were rock hard! even after we tried to microwave them. The Chicken Samosa and Veg Samosa were dripping in oil! and looked as if they had been refryed as they were dark. The fries were not tasty they were dry. The only two items from this order that were nice are the Chicken Handi and the Tandoori Naan. Unfortunately we could not enjoy all the food this time and not sure if we will order again.

Good service, reasonable price. Wonderful food, just little spicy. Great music.

food was fantastic freshly cooked , was very late but I guess it was worth it ....

I had a terrible experience at Alum Rock Kebab House. The seekh kebabs were completely flavourless and had to be sent back. The lamb chops and doner kebab were mediocre at best, offering nothing special. Their frozen fries were dry and unpleasant, sticking in your throat. On top of that, the service was slow, with items brought out at a snail's pace. To top it off, we ordered naan, but only one was served. Overall, I couldn’t wait to leave and will definitely not be returning. Would not recommend.

Lamb beautifully cooked delicious

Food freezing cold driver was at wrong address even when calling him outside knocking neighbours door when they work and caused me trouble for waking them up

It's going down hill, food at this place used to be good, Recently not so good

Order food for collection they only gave me half the stuff, missing items are 2 masala fish naan 5 sheikh kebabs and kajrela £37, tried calling but no one answered hope to get a refund Went yesterday and must say top guy Harris looked after us rectified the issue we had masala fish & grilled chicken wings great customer service wish them all best

We tried their keema naan and vegetable samosa + kebab and naaan Everything was warm and delicious

It was the best experience ever, the food is fresh made not like other place pre made and the food taste amazing, you have lots of options here like 10 types of curry’s and 8 types of bbq. I will recommend this place for sure come and try it you will love it.

Please don't warm up my katlama in oil! Just use a microwave. Had to throw away the katlama because of how EXTREMELY greasy it was!!!

Great service and very delicious food

They have the best chicken sheesh kebabs, and always really kind and friendly.. thank you :)

price way a bit higher than normal. but curry was very tasty with the nan bread and frys👍

Payed alot of money for fish and it stank clearly the fish was old and was grey from the inside and had a bad odour to it would never order from here again!

the food was good like always.

Lahori chana was exquisite . Morning breakfast was beautiful. Aloo paratha . Desi tea. Clean and great service . Impressed verry

Ateeb the best guy after the food 😂 Nice n clean Food amazing Staff super friendly

Been visiting this place for more than 15yrs it was one of the best in brum always loved chicken tikka in nan that used to be favourite it used to cost me £4.20-4.50 I have a fiver since it changed its management I ordered the same food this time nan was small as anything 3pieces of chicken tikka mountain full of salad £5.50 get lost on ya bloody bike mate. Never went in again.

Alum Rock Kebab House is a delightful spot that offers a wonderful mix of flavors and satisfying dishes. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of trying several items from the menu, and overall, it was a great experience. The **Fried Cod Masala Fish** was exceptional. It was beautifully seasoned, with a crispy exterior that perfectly complemented the tender, flaky fish inside. The spices added a delightful kick, making it a standout dish that I would highly recommend. The **garlic naan** was also a highlight. Soft and fluffy, it was infused with just the right amount of garlic, making it perfect for dipping into sauces or enjoying on its own. The **chicken tikka** was good, too. Juicy and well-marinated, it had a nice char that added depth to the flavor. Though it was tasty, I felt it could have used a bit more seasoning to elevate it further. As for the **chips**, they were average. While they served their purpose as a side, they didn’t stand out compared to the other dishes. Overall, Alum Rock Kebab House offers a warm atmosphere and a menu filled with delicious options. With standout dishes like the Fried Cod Masala Fish and garlic naan, it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful food. I look forward to returning to try more of their offerings!

Fab food as always, chicken seekh are the best anywhere

I loved the place... If you love Desi food, this is the place for you... It has all sorts of desi dishes and customer service is extraordinary. I am going to visit again, soon...!!!

Really fast delivery and very polite

Very good customer service food came quick tasty food freshly made

Thank you for the delicious food. everything was perfect this time. We really enjoyed the chicken handi, the chicken samosas and the fish pakoras and naan. Thank you also for the salad and sauces. We will definitely order from here again.

Food is very nice Gol gappay , seekh kebab and naan Best food in Birmingham

Tasty Chapli kebabs and other starters, fresh food. Didn’t try main courses, but found the quick serving food tasty.

There was not enough chicken curry in the container. We order all the time and paid £11.20 for this, the container should be full like it used to be the first few times we ordered. Now they just give lots of oil which fills the container. The fish pakora were really nice.

Samosas are ok, biryani is also ok-ish and chapli kebab is not good.

Very oily and very old chicken. Smell was really bad and end up in giving it back to them but paid for it!

Normally arrives in half hour but was half hour late and arrived colder than usual perhaps it was closing time and one of their last orders. We warmed up the food and it was still very delicious and one of our fave places to order from in Birmingham.

If you want authentic chai then come to this place omg it was amazing. Better than those chain shops. And the samosas were fresh and beautiful. Make sure to try the chilli sauce, it’s fresh made and I ended up buying a bottle of it

You’re missing out if you havent tried their chilli sauce - it’s amazing and home made. Chai is amazing!!

❌❌❌ AVOID,AVOID,AVOID❌❌❌ I went here and 2 ladies served me half warm and half cold kebabs. Sitting area was vile and dust on the sauce bottles. I asked the guy if i can have another fresh kebab, he touched the kebab i returned to him and put it straight into the microwave and gave that back to me. I gave it back to him and said to him what are you playing at? No sorry no apology nothing.bill was high compared to what i order, but i didn't bother arguing as i wanted to be out of there Asap. Avoid at all costs!!!!

One of the most amazing biryani, ras malai and sheik kebab ever

The food here is amazing. Reasonable prices, prepared fresh and friendly service. I always purchase extra to take home, and it tastes just as nice the next day!

Excellent food and service level is extraordinary

Dont go there they are Liers specially the old man who will serve you on counter when you done order they didn't tell you price after they will charge you more..They charge me just for small portion of chips £3 and Fizzy one (Not branded) £1.50...Not recommended

All the food was great but we asked for salad which we did nkt get. After spending over £50 you should really give salad for free like other restaurants do.

Drove 2 hours just for the food, amazing food and the staff were so polite, made me feel right at home, will be coming back monthly with the family InshAllah!!!!

The food is always quick and great.

Today first time i had been to this restaurant, i ordered half grill Chicken With Lassi, they charged £10.50 but the chicken was awful seems they cooked it in the morning and give it to around 3pm..i would never go to this restaurant again

After returning the katlama with hair inside I see more hair around the coriander on top of my fish … no staff wearing hats or following food hygiene

Really delicious curries! in fact all the food is always tasty and fresh, just like it is home made. We like to keep ordering from here.

Will never order from here again disgusting taste in food curry spilled all over-fries spilled all over roti all wet

Super excellent food spot located on alum rock road one of the best masala fish I’ve had in uk

Lamb Balty amazing place great service always

Passed by on the way to the pharmacy and ducked in to use the toilets. The food looks great so we are definitely coming back. 😉👍

Very nice food and excellent service

The pink tea is really nice, with authentic flavour, definitely worth a try if travelling through Birmingham

Alum Rock kebab house doors, beautiful service length shop very nice. Tandoori wins very nice chicken biryani beautiful

Best Falooda I ever had. Hands down

I've been visiting ARKH for 20 years and it's still the best chicken curry in town. A well flavoured full bodied curry, beautiful. Their, masala fish and other dishes are also mother watering. In addition the kebas are always spicy and and juicy and the portions are not mean unlike some places.

The Rate is very high does not meet according to taste..

Kind staff, very helpful and very tasty food

Biryani and chicken kebab were average. Haleem was good. We were so hungry that we could not take any picture. The aged (old) man with beard was a bit rude asked him to change chicken piece in biryani and he didn’t listen.

So hungry at late Night wanna eat roti and they still open at 3:40 AM To full fil your hunger

I was eating my kebabs and it was in my food. I feel hated as a transgender Pakistani.

Excellent staff, service and food is No 1. just like back home. Can not ask for any better. Great Staff. MUST VISIT AGAIN 100%

If you wanna try authentic desi food then go for it….

Popped in for some takeaway. Service with a smile. Chicken Biryani was really nice, chapli kebab, kachori, chicken pakoras, and Sheesh kebabs were tasty also. The chilli sauce was just perfect with the food.

Great tasting food and great staff

Worst falooda ever my wife can make better at home only good thing about it was the ice cream and that wasn't much

Superior food. Incredible food. I really love it.

Expensive food. Lamb handi, too much oil. Masala Fish was old,, looks expire. No taste. 👎

Food is nice and tasty as we have come a few times. Very tight spaced always busy. They have dinner right next to the toilets, which they need to do something about

Fresh, tasty and authentic! Absolutely loved it.

I had keema and aloo handi with roti bread the curry it self was too bland not spicy for my liking busy eating places on the main alum rock looking forward good old Kashmir tradition bit let down eating area was okay sink basement need clean up a bit no offence I had better Pakistan Curry's come on brothers it alum rock area you would have expected to more on fire for the price you pay

I usually go to Kebab House when we go shopping in Alum Rock and have left a good review before. But today, I needed to be honest. It was very busy today but this shouldnt be and isnt new to the restaurant. The food was very extremely bad. It was cold, uncooked and not fresh. We had to ask for food to be warmed up but even then, it did not taste good. We had to get up multiple times to request for sauces, tissues and issues around food. We were patient with the timing of the food as we understood it was busy. However, it doesnt justify serving cold and uncooked portions of food that could cause salmonella and food poisoning. I wouldnt have minded waiting ten minutes extra if it meant the food came out prepared in an orderly manner. Also, I paid for more than what I should have, not realising until after and the cashier was too busy to go back to and ask again. I would calculate your meals properly to ensure you are paying for what you ordered and not more.

Excellent food. Clean and fresh. Charcoal chicken is a must. Great device also

Excellent as usual. A must try. Amazing and polite staff.

The food was so delicious. really nice everybody should try😊

Tasty food, fast service, clean toilets

when i asked for a kebab they put it up my bum (i liked it but could have been bigger) but other than that i loved the food and service x got proposed here by the loml ( abdhulahi kareem)

Favourite place to eat in Birmingham.

I asked for a kebab and they give me a different type. However, they were both small portions but I highly recommend. I got a take out but I didnt want them to take it out

Food was delicious, service was amazing and the atmosphere was great!

The service is good and the food is nice. The staff are very friendly

Falooda was excellent. Biryani Karachi style

Came from bradford late night and found this to be opened. Chapli kebab seekh kebab naan chips and seekh kebabs were ordered. Guy was working on his own and food was delicious. Would come back again

"Exceptional service paired with exquisite dishes make dining at Alum Rock Kebab House an unforgettable experience. From the first bite to the last, every aspect exceeds expectations, ensuring a memorable culinary journey."

Very nice food and very friendly Staff

So me and my family are actually from london and we had a day out in Birmingham and we chose this restaurant as it seemed to be high rated. We were served quite quickly but i don’t think that the food was freshly cooked because they do acc have the pre cooked meat that they keep on at the front where you order. We also ordered chaat which came with one spoon between my family of 7 and when we asked for spoons they only had one unwashed spoon which was very inconvenient. Also, we ordered kebabs and they were all chicken and they actually didn’t specify that they don’t do lamb kebabs which was also not that great.

Very lovely people and great food

Fantastic best seekh kebab in West Midlands if not the UK!

Food was excellent. Seekh kebab and gol gappay!!

Chinnahundi mixed vegetable is very nice

Very nice food very good customer service. First time here come from Sheffield

Great food and great service. Nice atmosphere and lovely desi breakfast.

Excellent customer service 👏, thanks 😊

Very expensive 1 chana chaat and 1 samosa chat £12. Food is really expensive not that quality. When I ask for worth of £2 chicken pakora he said minimum portion is for £6 I can't have for £2. Will never come back here again.

Fresh, homemade style food. Thank-you

The mix grill was ok no tast very blend and chicken was very dry didn't taste fresh.

Ateeb is great customer care person, he had a great interaction with us. We had somosa chat it was superb. Highly recommended. They have banned Coca Cola to support Gaza you can enjoy Kinza Cola here.
