Bab-E-Khyber in Birmingham

The Chapali Kebab and nan was absolutely delicious. Sophisticated and polite staff, great service. I shall defo try out other foods on the menu.

Food was lovely and very good service 👌

PLEASE READ MY REVIEW FULLY !! this place has gone downhill in recent times !! i’m officially done with it now !! it’s sad to see because i was once a big supporter of this place , i would land here with my guests to show them a good time . so today i ordered a lamb jafrezi to go , the long wait gave me a false reassurance that it was all being made fresh ….. WRONG !! the spices and gravy of the curry were fresh but the meat was tough and hard and perhaps a few days old , i recognised it was the same meat used in their kabuli pilau ; these begherat freshies knew they had ran out of fresh lamb so they literally picked out lamb chunks out from one of their old pilau dishes and added it to the curry …that meat was stale and hard ,, i actually saw them transfer a big plate of lamb from their front display and move it to the back .. at the time i thought nothing of it … now i realised … the manager is a sound guy as far as i remember , he needs to improve staff .. losing to many loyal customers

Bought chapli kabab from there . it was just waste of money and time put it stright into the bin .i will never ever go there.. There are way better places around…

God take special care of yourself and your whole family. And don't take or eat food from here. Almost three years ago, I used to eat useless food except for one bread. And now I became a fool once again and took kebab from here. After paying £26, I grabbed a stinky kebab and was taken away. I swear to God, it's really worthless food.

Went to get some Naan and Roti, by God we dont even feed such think to Cows back home. Had no choice except to eat the inner part, Jaws still hurting!!!!

Bought a takeaway from here a chicken karahi was so hard, u cant even swallow, and the lamb karahi to was not nice.they were definitely not freshly made. This place used to be good not anymore .

Me and my friend went to the restaurant. We ate food from there and after like two hours, we had. Food poisoning or stomach was hating the food is not good. It made us sick. It’s been like five hours that we had stomach pain. I would not recommend you to guys to go there. The food is not really good.

Ordered food for a party and they had forgotten my order when I called the night before. They said, we can still deliver. But when the food arrived, it was horrible- undercooked rice, burnt crust at the bottom, soaked in oil and don't even get me started on the curry. Waste of money, embarrassment infront of my guests, expensive recipe for upset stomach. Avoid at all costs.

Chapal kebab juice fresh made unfortunately for me it's wasn't spice for my liking can't fault big size nan bread salad and mint sauce and chilli sauce nice okay eating area no offence it wasn't great chapal kebab time for me and need go somewhere else for chapal kebab

I usually do take away on Weekend .As a well known Reviewer. this restaurant has very high standard very friendly staff. highly recommended. MALAK

The restaurant at least should care about the reputation of khyber ! , Worst food ever, They even use a wrong taping thing to give a review, Halaka , da pakhtoon nom mo kharab ko . 😞

Went here to try the chappali kebabs. Overpriced and undercooked kebabs. They tasted horrible! The place is in need of an hygiene inspection it’s disgusting inside. Never again.

The meat and rice was delicious. However they forgot a few stuff. The carrot Halva was awful it tasted like rotten carrot and out of date oil. My dad tried to call the place and they wouldn't answer so he went there and waited and he didn't their service.

Food wasn't all that sheesh kababs were elastic band naan was crunchy kabs wer flavourless but didn't wanna complain cuz really cheap and not soo cheerful

Bad 👎 food is not good All food is not good bed restaurants

I waiting my food more than 1 hour , I called 3 times each time promised next 5-10minuts , actually never happens , don’t wanna mention food is cold enough coz didn’t arrive on the time Let’s come to meal , I ordered two potions lamp chops , it’s come lamp ribs .. this is quite funny what kind chefs it’s even don’t know a parts of own cooking meal Chapli kebab , this can be say worst chapli kebab I ever had , don’t know where they cook the chapli , on oil or top of coals , ridiculous As a Turkish , not a chef , but k can make 100% better than this two meal if come by my self dude So disappointing, if can’t handle go do something better which at least not effectively you religions , as a Muslim this is shameful can be say , don’t play with peoples emotions Seriously Emotional damage can be say

Smelly uncooked chicken, uncooked meat. Disappointing and waste of money.

Food was not up to the standard. Afghani plao was tasteless. As afghani it was worse afghani food ever I ordered. Naan was uncooked and taste raw.

Came here with my mate food was absolutely delicious we had kabli pilau and karahi its was the best charsi lamb karahi so far! Will pay a visit again. Thank you

Last time I got my food it was amazing but this time when I got my food the kebab was uncooked the food was cold there was no flavour in the rice and chicken and the onions we burned please change your cook, never ordering from here again

Please don’t go here it’s so bad, I ordered some food with my siblings and mom from Uber and the total cost was 30£. I wish I didn’t everything about it was bad. The whole bag was wet bc most of the sauces had spilled and they were all so watery without taste, seemed like water was added to make sauce look more, the kebabs we ordered were not fully cooked and we couldn’t even eat them, we also ordered some kabli pulao and most of which was outside the box they, they didn’t properly seal any of the boxes , the only thing I liked was the chicken salan but the service was really bad. Basically 30£ were wasted 😭😭

I recently ate from and I have to say, it was a terrible experience. The food was bland and lacked any authentic flavors. The service was slow and the staff seemed indifferent to our presence. The prices were also ridiculously high for the quality of food we received. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my visit and would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else for a true taste of Afghanistan cuisine.

Possibly the worst place I have ever had the pleasure of eating in. Salad was off. Curry was disgusting. Chapli kebab was DISGUSTING! Naan burnt. Absolutely avoid this place.

The food was stale the karahi I ordered smelt really bad the salad I paid extra was off and rotis were half cooked half burnt I will never order from here again! Chef needs to learn authentic afghani cuisine because what they sent me was anything but charsi karahi!!

The place itself looked shabby. The display food looked a few days old. But the food cooked for us was fresh tasting and we really enjoyed it. Shame about their food display and the overall hygiene.

Historical Place. Do visit if U have passion.

Food tasted off alot has now gone in the bin. Never again

Tried there kebab platter it was very good in taste!

Brought the pilau It was just bones, no meat in the rice. Took out the meat to see how much there was by putting it on a plate. Only got home to see this was so disappointed, won’t be visiting again.

Very delicious food and good customer service …

Ordered foor from them and never again. Lamb karahi didn't taste nice..it was salty and I am sure it tasted like off meat. Sheesh kebab also salty and their naan as well...very disappointing. They are expensive but food quality very bad. Owner offered me a £10 voucher on next order but i wont be going back👎 😕

Joke of a place to eat. The food wasn't nice at all. Not sure what the chapli kababs were made of. Kabuli pulao wasnt kabuli pulao at all and lamb chops tasted off. The owner quoted one price for the dishes he recommended and later said he made a mistake in pricing and insisted we pay the full price.

Food quality very bad price too expensive

Good portion absolutely delicious. Best place in the area

Perfect service well served will come again

Never order from this place. Ordered food and it never came. Waited 3 hours and kept on calling them; they kept saying ‘5 minutes’. Eventually they just cancelled the order and gave no explanation. Rubbish place never come here, no care for their customers at all. They used their own Uber eats driver too and lied about how close the order was. Shame on this restaurant and the workers I don’t know how they’re still in business.

I ordered food through delivery app, First they sent my food after 2 hours Secondly, I ordered letil but they sent me chick peas and taste was discusting, even they sent me wrong drink😂. Please dont ever go to this takeaway.

The best place for Chapli Kebab!!!

We had the chapel kebab and it was the best I've had outside, the nan was huge.

Very poor food hygiene and standard. I had severe food poisoning after eating here. Must avoid..

Good food. Service was OK. But for 9pm was good. Atmosphere was good. I will go back.

A great place for various cuisines. Afghan dishes were boom but need patience to eat. Bit of slow on spices

Bought chapli kabab from there . it was just waste of money and time put it stright into the bin .i will never ever go there

Wasn’t a good experience, we ordered lamb chops chapli kebab and lamb karahi. The chops and kebab were dry and chewy and karahi was semi decent but far from authentic, tasted more like a desi karahi. To top it they over charged us by £5 and didnt even show us the receipt before paying.

One of the worst places I've ever eaten at, the chappal kebab was nasty and tasted off, all dried up and sour taste, paid 8 pounds foe one kebab nan and coke, not worth even 2, 50 disgusting place the main guy there at the till is a pick, highly recommend don't eat from here, you will be disappointed, got a belly ache feeling sick from the food here, this place should be closed down, what a disgrace

Great food at great prices. Quick service.

The most UNAUTHENTIC peshawari food! Very disappointing quality & taste of food, which you can easily tell if you are Pathan from KPK. They seriously need a good cook!

Amazing to be there. During several visits, I found the taste and good food. You have to ask for spices you can afford. Good fine platters and I bet you can't finish Afghans portions. The man on reception is friendly and cooperative.

Avoid at all costs.dont waste your money

Looked like dog food DO NOT EAT HERE not fit for human consumption Waste of money

Bought food from here and binned it.

Bought kebab of them on 4th december 2022 and found human hair in the kebab .probably of a women or beard. Will definately file complaint against them to food authority

Came with family enjoy the setting and had lovely food from here next time I’m in brim I will check it out again

Love their kababs and naan top class

Brilliant taste worth spending here money and valuable time

Food and service was very nice and amazing

Dont eat at this restaurant, worst ever food i have tried in a restaurant ever in my life.

Brought kebabs and naan from here for the family. Upon entering the store I asked what sort of meat the kebabs were made from, since my son has an allergy to beef. Whilst I understand that this is a rare allergy, and not every restaurant caters for such allergy, I ensured to ask when entering the store. The worker reassured me that lamb meat was used to make the kebabs. After eating, my son had the worst allergic reaction to the food. I called the restaurant just to confirm that it was lamb, and the man on the phone tells me it’s beef! They have workers who don’t know the ingredients they’re using. So unprofessional, and could put peoples lives at risk with the poor training. Sort your staff out!!!!

Food were always on point. Although the place is a suffication nest. Smoke was everywhere due to kitchen in the open. Not that pleasing. 😬

Ordered from here a while back worst chapli kabab i have ever tasted,it smelled really bad, too salty. I put 3whole chapli kababs in the bin...im sorry but who ever is making the kababs needs training as thats not how you make kababs. Would never eat from there ever again even if its free...disappointed!!!!

This place should not be operating with the 'food' they are providing. Not surprised that they have a hygiene rating of 2.

Authentic Pakistani restaurant with some tasty food. Chappal Kebabs with huge 'Family Nan' is their speciality. Green tea is a must after a meal specially after gobbling down those Chappal Kebabs with huge Nan bread.

Great food, the karahi and peshawar kebab were awesome!! Big recommend.

Ordered take away, chapal kebab with nan and chicken tikka with kabli pilau. I was served quickly and the food was made quickly and was very fresh.

Today was Eid and we felt like eating some grill food. We'd never tried this restaurant so we ordered some food. Suffice it to say the Meat was rotten. The kebab especially stinked. I could smell it as soon as I opened the box. My family has been vomiting ever since and I myself have had some food poisoning. I normally don't bother with reviews, but honestly this place is horrible. I wouldn't feed animals their food. The worst food I've tried in my entire life and I strongly advise against it. The saddest part is they act as if nothings wrong, they claim they've never had an issue. That's until you see the reviews. Any other day would've been fine and I would have moved on, but its Eid day and you've just ruined my family's appetite.

Worst food in Birmingham. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. Ordered online and the taste was awful. I would have just ignored the food for once and let go the bad experience but the staff member was extremely rude when the problem was reported. Forget about customer service, he was ready to fight. Please don’t waste your hard earned money on this restaurant but if you somehow land there, please share your honest review about your experience.

Worst service, took them 3 hours to deliver and on calling them they hung up on me. Pathetic service, please dont order from this place.

One of the dirty and poor hygiene Resturant I ever seen in Birmingham. I bought chapli kebab yesterday, it’s doesn’t taste as Chapli kebab, smell very bad and made me and kids sick. I saw the unlce cooked the kebab in black and used oil. I recommend not to use this Resturant and request the owner to at least clean the place once a week, because the meat and Vegtable looked like left from three or four days in the front showcase.

Good place to gather with friends. Food is not bad, it's traditional KPK food. Family room is available.

My husband and me used to love eating from here...not only is the customer service appalling...but the quality of food has gone down hill which is a big disappointment for us...the chapli kebabs has no taste to it what so ever ....no spices...no masala...and the meat was dry ...didnt even taste like chapli kebabs just tasted like a over grown burger...sorry for this il have to give a 1 star rating and will be looking 4 somewhere else in future to eat from

I just spent £30 on a lamb kharai very oily meat has a weird texture didn't taste fresh at ALL the mix grill... Meat was very mushy and chicken was smelling off very spicy for my taste the only okay thing was the peshawari naan but even that could be cooked 1 minute extra.... Very disappointed will never order from here again!!!!!!!

Absolutely vile and discusting the chapel kebab meat was off the guy cooking was scratching his bum and making nan at the same time complete waste of money bread dough was old what a total waste never seen such a bad restaurant in Birmingham this has to be the worst place ever even there hygiene score is 2 don’t waste your money stay away

After my first time ordering from this place it will also be my last time. The food from the Chapli Kebab to the fish burger meal were vile. The fish came with skin off and had a horrible odour which made it evident to tell it was completely off. The kebab was disgusting as was the fish burger meal. The fries came with bits of leftover fish and chicken all over the fries. Rang the store and was told I would get a call back no apologies, Will never be ordering from here again please don’t be fooled by their images. Horrible, horrible place.

I Use to go before lockdown. I live 8 miles away, so if I'm travelling through that area, I phone and collect on my journey. Over the last few years the prices are increasing and the quality is dropping. On 18.8.21 I phoned the person was talking urdu. I thought he was talking to some else in shop, he hung up. I called back and he said I've told you not to call he's busy and hung up. When I drove past their was two table's with people. I'll delete the number won't go again. Lots of other places to try on Stratford Road.

The place was so dirty and unhygienic The food was raw and terrible Please avoid or you will get sick after eating from here

Nasty over cooked bland food with ignorant arrogant service wish I’d read the reviews before I went in there never again

Ordered first time for delivery. Delivery was 2 hrs and even then had to keep calling for them to get it to me. Finally when it came food was cold, tasted awful was full of chillies and the order was wrong! They missed out hlf the order and gave something else. Called shop spoke to someone who said they would redeliver it tomorow tried to be understanding and said ok. Next day called to reminder 2.5 hrs later still not received. Called the shop and was rudely spoken to when i questioned their service started using religious dialogues of having patience ! Awful customer service disgusting food totally useless owners workers and delivery drivers that dont give a toss about customer service! Do not order from.here unless u want to wait hrs and then have tasteless food! Wouldnt even give it 1 star but thats the lowest you can rate

People, take some advise , this place is desperate. Please I beg you don’t come here !!!! Chapel kebab is the worst I have ever had the misfortune to taste . How can they serve this rubbish !!!!

Ordered take away, chapal kebab with nan and chicken tikka with brown pilau. I was served quickly and the food was made quickly and was very fresh. The price was very reasonable and piping hot. The food tasted great and I will definitely be ordering again, don't go by the previous negatives, give it a try.

Avoid this place. The workers overcharge their customers and are RUDE!! Their menus are a certain price and they tell you another price over the counter. Disgustingly rude customer service Staff are clueless and argue with customers RUBBISH SERVICE FROM THE OWNER NOT WORTH IT

Very very disappointing for restaurant like this Rip- of price food tasted really horrible. Just visit 25-8 I have no idea what can of curry was 4 wing nan bread £18.50 I don’t mind pay that but not there ever again absolutely 0

Birmingham, United Kingdom After a previous bad experience I thought I'd give it one more try. Ordered a Chapleli Kebab which is a Afghani speciality. Boy was I wrong, it was the worst kebab I have ever had the misfortune to taste! Half of it was full of massive chunks of Ginger! Never nver again will I step in this place again, went to another Afghani restaurant on the Covenrty Road (for which I will write a separate review), and it was fantastic. Please avoid this place if not try it and you'll soon see how bad it is ! If I could have given it a minus one I would have. You have been warned !!!!!

The food is great and the portions are big. Service is very good. I'd highly recommend Bab e Khyber to anyone looking for authentic Asian food. The front of the restaurant looks little unattractive but it's great inside. Good family environment too.

We ordered Chapli kebabs, naan and Karachi. Received a complementary generous salad plate. By the time food arrived we were half full. Started with kebab and it was heavenly. could taste all the fresh flavours. Peshawari naan looked impressive and tasted good. Karahi was amazing although a bit spicy. We got complementary gajrala halwa with the kehwa we ordered. In all, a 5 course meal. We did not finish all the food they served us so got some packed. The biggest surprise was the bill. We expected around £40 and the bill was £20. We had to ask them to recheck to make sure they got it right. Amazing food. Excellent service. Clean, comfortable place. Will definitely come back.

Most disappointing food..chicken charga was burnt..ordered chicken curry received meat. Chaplai kebas were terrible..they were swimming in oil...will not be ordering from this place again.

Best Chapli Kebabs in Birmingam. That is their signature dish and that is all I go there for. This is a takeaway rather than a family sit-down place.

nasty food meat was off chapal kebabs smelt never again take them of hungry house place has broken furniture and they reserve left over foods

Siempre tengo ganas de tan pequeña, ya que son lugares anodina a menudo la joya escondida. Siendo un fan de comida afgana, quería probar este lugar desde que lo vi hace unas semanas. En mi camino de una cena cerca que decidimos parar y recoger algo de comida para el día siguiente.

Desde aquí pedimos chapli kebabs hoy después de tomar un par de bocados nos dimos cuenta de que la carne no era cordero y olía. Si quieres para protegerse de intoxicación alimentaria evitar como la peste. He estado aquí dos veces y nunca volveremos de nuevo. El kebab tenía carne de pollo y trozos gruesos así como de carne roja que olía a. Es una vergüenza que pueda vender comida que claramente no es fresca y definitivamente. No vaya su valor si su salud.

Genial! - cayó en mientras pasábamos al azar y tenía un maravilloso almuerzo de Kebab y encantador, Peshawaris fresco casero pan naan del tamaño de una bandeja de cena! Increíble calidad y cantidad y servicio amable. Si estás buscando un entorno lujoso pase, pero si es 'todo sobre la comida 'para ti, te encantará. Ahora tiene la tercera generación de la misma familia que regentaba el lugar - sin duda dejar de nuevo si estoy cerca de Birmingham.

Great pashtun/afghani food. The massive naans are awesome. Chappli kebabs are the best I have ever had...period. unbelievably good. I use them for large food production for parties at my house also. No complaints.

Worst food with terrible service. Food quality is real bad. They never changed their Oil & give re-baked dishes. Only their Big NAN is freshly baked rest they are selling crap. They ruined the name of khyber :)

He estado yendo a este restaurante por años, gran servicio y deliciosa comida auténtica.

Had heard that these guys did good chappell kebab. A chipped tooth and toilet issues later I suspect that things have gone downhill. Inside is a bit grimy too. Likely won't be trying again.

Had a takeout.. pashawri kebabs were decent but the mixed grill was a waste of money.. taste less and fat around the meat..

went there with my family I had best peswari kebab unforgettable. kebab were very tasty and well cook.

This place has one of the best peshwari kebabs in brum massive nab breads to share with your fellow diners. Really value for money for example 3 of us ate for £17 we got a peshwari kebab and salad each and a huge ban bread to share between us and a chicken biryani. Plus 3 cans of drink. The only negative is the restaurant itself isn't the cleanest out there the toilets smells and is unclean but apart from that the interior decor could do with updating

je suis passé devant par hasard, et je ne suis pas déçu très bon accueil, très bon service plats copieux obliger d'emporter!!!! à l'addition ils m'ont fait cadeaux plein de chose!!!! super gentil!! jy retournerais!!!!

Went there with friends ,thought to try but we felt if we were in some sort of mousq and felt very unconfortble .wont reccommended.
