Kababish Restaurant in Birmingham

Service was really top notch, the man on the door who served us was a real credit to the restaurant, I could not applaud him enough. As for the food? Meh. I had a chat puri for a starter and it was absolutely swimming in sauce, it virtually made the dish inedible. For main, i had a paneer masala and a peshwari naan. The masala was okay, but just not enough sauce or paneer, especially compared to offerings from rival restaurants. The peshwari naan was bland with the overwhelming taste being of charcoal throughout too. Not good at all. Overall? It was okay, 3/5, helped by the waiting staff, but the food is nothing that local restaurants like the Covered Wagon/Millennium Balti/Sweet Chillies don't do ten times better. To add, a starter, main, naan and bottle of coke cost me £25. Definitely not value for money.

It's not the greatest of flavours for the price. £15.50 for a Biryani. Expensive compared to other areas such as Selly Oak. Postcode prices. Friendly service, though. Give it a shot. It's personal choice.

Had a lovely family meal - plenty of options for varying dietary requirements. The service was great. Looking forward to the next visit. Only downside is trying to park nearby on a busy, rainy Saturday night

My favourite restaurant since it first opened. Sadly it has gone downhill rapidly. Price and quality of food no longer what it used to be.

This restaurant boasts a great food and atmosphere, with a rich 40-year history managed by three generations of the same family. The owner is exceptionally friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing food, the service here is on point. We loved the food and service here that we had them cater our wedding. The service at the wedding was the best service we have ever had and not to mention the food was delicious and served on time. All our guests commented on how nice the food was and they said the service they received from the waiting staff was just equally as good. We had so many compliments from guests regarding the food and where we got the the catering from. The process of getting it arranged was so simple too. I would highly recommend eating here and if you have any events this is your go to place to cater them. Also their mango lassi is undefeated, it’s the best mango lassi we have ever had, you definitely need to get a jug of it if you go here.

Nice food but a little overpriced.

Everything was good , staff was friendly and helpful. Only thing is that their main dish portion are bit small. Need to make it little bit bigger.

Such terrible food! I ordered here for the first time. I found the food, taste subpar! This is the very first Indian restaurant.I have seen who messed up the lamp chops. It had way too much food color, and zero flavour. The meat was already going off. The cod mains dish I ordered, which costed £10, had 3 tiny pieces of fish. The £17 Mixed grill is not enough as a sharing platter as well. Dont even get me started on the Briyani! £50 of meal, money in the drain! Will never order from here again.

Lovely little restaurant, great value too. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the service was quick and attentive. Would highly recommend!

The food is amazing here and the staff I amazing.

Amazing place. Visit every time I’m in the area. Fantastic food and you can take your own drinks. It doesn’t get a lot better! You won’t be disappointed

Ordered the chicken tikka masala and nan bread. Very tender meat, very well balanced flavours. Staff were very welcoming and moved tables to accommodate our large party.

The food was excellent. Great value for money. Very delicious and big portions. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is the best Indian/Pakistani restaurant in Birmingham for sure. Highly recommended.

Good food, great service and atmosphere, very good value for money. A really reliable and relaxing place to eat.

Friendly service and delicious food!

Food as good as its always been, but interior looking a bit tired now. Time for a spruce up I think.

We came out to celebrate our son’s 16th birthday. Sizzlers were spot on… and the mains were great. Nice ambience and great service

It's all ways been my favourite place for food 🍲 great taste brilliant service

First customers in, we were a group of 6 and had a mix of starters and mains and everything was quiet as everyone enjoyed the delicious food. Buckwrata parcels were crispy and moist, sheek kebab, lamb chops, shashlik kebabs all slightly spicy but not too hot. Murg, Archari and Tikka balti all piping hot and tasty with an assortment of breads and more starters lamb chops and chicken tikka.

Delicious food, great staff. You can bring your own alcohol. There is an off licence close by. We had a range of dishes and all tasted lovely.

Ive always like kababish food spicy but very tasty . The best biriani ive ever tasted .

Called in recently after a few years away. I'll be kind and review the meal as OK. Nothing terrible, but perhaps not what it used to be. The point of my review is because no-one on here is mentioning that the restaurant does not serve alcohol. There was no signage outside, on the door, when you arrive or when you're given the menu. There is an off-licence a few doors down, but that's not the point. You may not be concerned about this, but for some people it's a part of the meal (and a pretty good revenue stream for the business so perhaps this is a religious thing?) Now you know.

I’m not a eater of Indian food & but the staff when made aware of this were extremely helpful and helped me choose a dish I could eat which was delicious.

Pleasant meal and service I would return again

Excellent customer service from the minute we entered. Polite & attentive staff, very friendly & professional. Lovely atmosphere & food was perfect. Will definitely be going back, couldn't fault it.

Ordered via Justeat. Waited ages. Prices very expensive. Then the restaurant cancelled the order! Please avoid there are better and cheaper Indian restaurants. Really really unprofessional to accept a delivery and then cancel after such a prolonged time period.

Visited here as I didnt want to go back to Tipu Sultan but food was on the same par as Tipu Sultan. Asked for chicken Karachi hot and literally chicken dropped into sauce and served with hardly any peppers. Needless to say I didnt finish my meal which came with pilau rice, fries and nan. Not sure what is going on in the restaurants these days. I must say having visited quite a few curry places being a curry lover, I've got to say that Spices in Solihull, tops them all.

Great evening out with excellent food. Good menu selections. Fish curry and tandoori lamb cutlets fully recommended. Well priced with very good service. Would certainly visit again.

I visited Kababish with some friends.The food is good, but I felt my portion was small (especially compared with similar type restaurants elsewhere).They don't serve alcohol, which is fine; you can bring your own and they charge a corkage fee (common in many restaurants and perfectly acceptable). The fact there is a corkage charge is stated on the website menu.What is not stated is that it is £3/head. This means that if 4 people share a bottle of wine there would be a £12 charge, which is far too high. The £3/head charge needs to be made much, much clearer on the website.

A good measure of this restaurant is the fact that the food is the same as its sister restaurant in Boldmere, same menus,different chef,same quality,top banana.

Este ha sido durante mucho tiempo mi restaurante favorito, pero la visita de ayer no fue excelente. En primer lugar, ya no tienen licencia y cobran una tarifa de descorche de 3 por persona, pero ni siquiera abrirían nuestra botella, a pesar de abrir botellas en otras mesas. Luego, el menú se ha reducido con mis opciones vegetarianas favoritas desaparecidas, sin alternativas. Cuando llegó la comida era muy sabrosa pero porciones minúsculas y por alguna razón venía con vegetales gigantes tallados encima. El paratha fue quemado. Nos sentimos apurados a pesar de que era temprano y no había mucha gente, ¡los camareros luchaban para quitarme el plato cuando ponía el tenedor entre bocado y bocado! Entramos y salimos en 45 minutos, así que no fue exactamente la noche relajante que esperábamos. La comida sigue siendo deliciosa pero demasiados cambios para peor.

Fui al restaurante para celebrar el 60 cumpleaños de las mamás. Informaron que ya no servían alcohol, lo cual está bien, ¡pero se cobra 3 por persona para aquellos que compraron por su cuenta!Los entrantes eran encantadoresEl camarero dejó caer un curry completo y muy caliente sobre mi suegro. Se disculparon lo suficienteEl plato principal era, según lo acordado por todos los pobres de Stardard, que era extremadamente salado.Cuando llegó la factura, dijeron que habían quitado el precio de una de las comidas debido al accidente anterior.Cuando miramos la factura, ¡nos habían cobrado un extra por el curry que se derramó y el que compraron para reemplazarlo! !Comida y servicio de calidad superior a un precio deficiente.NO lo recomendaría

Great food, great service, great guys, been going there for years and the standard is always up there, keep up the good work 👍👍

Solo la segunda vez que estuvimos aquí, pero volveremos porque la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes. Se implementaron protocolos compatibles con Covid, por lo que nos sentimos seguros. La comida fue de gran calidad con los especiales del chef para compartir como un entrante muy recomendado y el Lamb Amchari y el Mixed Seafood Balti, ambos realmente sabrosos. Panes encantadores y pudimos tomar nuestro propio alcohol. Definitivamente recomendaría Kababish.

Great food, friendly and welcoming environment, nice night out. Plan to return with my family next time.

visited thursday with friends. Very delicious food. Staff were very helpful. Spicy chips with Masala fish were the best i ever had.

¡Fabuloso! ! !¿No has perdido el toque durante el encierro? ¡La comida era increíble, lo mejor en brum!Sabroso auténtico, a un precio muy razonable.¡Tus baltis son los mejores de todos!Nunca he tenido una mala comida aquí, tanto en el restaurante como a domicilio.No puedo esperar para probar sus nuevos e increíbles cócteles sin alcohol.Servicio de cinco estrellas de comida de cinco estrellas.¡Nos vemos muy pronto!

Recientemente comenzamos a visitar nuevamente alrededor de un mes antes del cierre, ya que no somos particularmente locales. Tengo que decir que me he perdido este lugar y que los curry son simplemente los mejores por millas, ¡sin excepción!Entré y varios de los chicos nos reconocieron de inmediato, lo cual es el signo de un gran restaurante, la comida es excelente (pero no los chicos de salsa de menta, traigo la mía). Entrantes, platos principales, arroces, panes, todo de primera clase.Tenía una comida para llevar justo antes del bloqueo y, a diferencia de muchas de las comidas para llevar, estas viajan muy bien.Date prisa y abre de nuevo chicos. . . . ¡Por favor!

amazing quality food service and atmosphere here at Kababish I've been eating here more than 2 decades (!) and it has managed to maintain a superb consistency of quality every single time during those 20+ years. Well done Kababish see you again very soon

Always excellent food and service.

Took 2 hours and found maggots in my kabab meet don't order

Amazing as always tried all new things this week and didn't disappoint even the coctails were amazing only curry house I will ever go to great service too highly recommend

It’s tradition for us as a group of friends to come to The Kababish every NYE. The food is always fabulous and the staff are absolutely fantastic.Kababish is such a friendly restaurant that delivers fabulous food every time.Thank you guys I look forward to our next visit to the restaurant

Love this restaurant, favourite for a balti and not disappointed on this occasion. Quality chicken and sauce as good as ever. We also had onion bhaji for starters which are very good and highly recomend

Excellent food excellent service Went with 28 people for staff meal I would recommend it. Very welcoming.

This place serves the best Balit's around in my opinion, the sauces are thick and rich with flavour whilst the meat and veg are fresh and succulent. The quantity of food is pitched perfectly and a light naan bread completes the dish. Great value for money, a fabulous atmosphere and the owners treat you like one of the family.

Fantastic Service and food as always, credit to Farooq and the rest of the lads that work there. Great job will be back soon !!!

Visited here the other week with my partner hoping for a stroll down memory lane, when we used to live in Moseley a few years ago & this was the Asian restaurant to eat at. Even though the interior is colourful & service welcoming & attentive, the food was sadly lacking. My wife's dish lacked flavour & seasoning & seemed like they'd stripped a chicken carcass clean for the pieces that were in her dish, rather than fresh. My lamb, even though slightly more flavour, still seemed very plain & the sides were small. The only saving grace was that we got 2 for 1 off the bill with a Tastecard, making the bill semi-reasonable, otherwise I wouldn't have been happy in paying it. Shame, it seems like the food isn't up to the same level it used to be & because of this, I don't think I'd go back.

8 of us ate here last night & thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Superb food, excellent service from friendly, knowledgeable staff who were very accommodating. Great atmosphere, super buzz about it. All 8 of us really enjoyed the evening & will definitely be returning.

Fantastic place to come and eat for the whole family. Great service from friendly people who make you want to go back time after time

Visited Kababish on the weekend and was not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious - I would recommend the vegetable Pathia. The staff were all so friendly and attentive - a perfect evening.

Always good food at Kabbabish. Very friendly welcome and service. The Kabbabish is an upmarket Bangladeshi restaurant serving great dishes. Can get full so make sure you book at weekends

This was a bit of a nostalgic visit for me. I visited the restaurant during the first week it was open and was a regular for several years, whilst I worked in Birmingham.

I can't rate this place highly enough perfect service fabulous food love love this place. Best curry I have ever had

Visited with family for a birthday meal. Fantastic food great service and a lovely atmosphere. Will certainly be returning. Great service from abdul!

I have to say this must be the worst Indian restaurant iv been too in my life, in terms of taste, size and price!

The above says it all and I have tasted lamb almost everywhere If you think you know somewhere better please let me know Thanks

The restaurant itself is nice to be in, decent atmosphere and the servers are very attentive and patient, can't fault the service. But not one person on our table can safely say they enjoyed their food. Everything was bland and lacking any real flavour. The curries are £7/8 and you get a morsel of food. Everything was lacking seasoning, just like eating a poor family stew really. As said below, unfortunately, this was one of the worst curries I've had in years.

Haven't been here for a number of years,so I thought I would give it a go,onion bajjie for starter,really oily and overcooked,then mains Lamb with spinach and chickpeas,all the way through it there was a slightly fishy taste to it,very disappointed , pretty hefty bill possibly the worst curry I have eaten in years,sorry guys won't be back

Had a lovely meal here with friends. We booked and glad we did as it was very busy. Could not fault the food, it was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

Only Indian I go to fab service excellent food and even catered for my niece off the menu cant fault it

Fantastic food. Portions are a little smaller than you would find in most restaurants of this type but the quality of the food is far superior. Price wise, a little more expensive but worth it on balance. Friendly, staff ( sometimes over-friendly). Well worth a visit. The only issue we had was finding a parking spot close by as there only seems to be on street parking in the local vicinity.

Not just any old curry house, but great ingredients assembled with real skill. Beautiful minced chicken kebabs, exquisite tasting baltis and garlic naans. We even had desserts which I would not normally bother with, but we were enjoying our meal that much. Attentive and very pleasant service from cheerful staff. A gem amongst Asian restaurants.

I love this place just waiting for a delivery of my favourite dish. Oooo this could get messy 😂😂😂

Fantastic service , lovely food and a wonderful team.

Went here with friends for a birthday meal. Had too wait ages for our drinks order to be taken. Beer was flat and horrible. We were rushed to order food. 2 of our starters of chicken sheesh was uncooked and watery. Our main meal Balti chickens were tiny portions with very little chicken. Naan breads were tiny and absolutely flavourless. Very overpriced I would not recommend!

No he estado en Kababidh por unos años, pero decidí intentarlo de nuevo. Tuvimos una comida muy agradable con amigos. La comida era deliciosa pero un poco demasiado fría para mí. Por favor, no deje que la comida permanezca demasiado tiempo, es mejor que esté demasiado caliente y se pueda enfriar.

Wouldnt go here again, was like wallpaper paste, as soon as we orderd it was out within 2 mins to quick for me. 👎👎👎🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

So booked this restaurant for a Saturday night for birthday celebrations for a teenager. We booked for 8.30pm to allow for us to go, order and eat in time to open our fast during this month of Ramadan. We unfortunately were running late and didn't anticipate the traffic so called ahead and were very grateful that the restaurant kept our table. It was really busy, well it was a Saturday night, but staff were great, brought us a plate of offering in the form of the obligatory dates and fruit to open the fast, bear in mind that the staff themselves were fasting. I was worried having been late and no time to peruse the menu that food would be late, but they advised order a starter to give us more time to look at mains, and well despite ordering the chefs sizzler starter we didn't have to wait long. The dishes are large portions, the paratha was overcooked slightly burned but edible, we didn't complain because it was super busy the waiters were not only trying to keep customers happy but they too had to eat after fasting all day. Food was nice, but service was exceptional. We did take a cake for the birthday celebrations, but with kids in tow, late and full stomachs we took the cake home. Will definitely pop back to see what else is on the menu. They're also on deliveroo. Check them out. They're one of three fine restaurants on Woodbridge Road.

We haven't been here since the early 80's .. it was brilliant then and still amazing now .... Thank you for a lovely meal .. happy staff and good value. 😁😁😁

Cuando los amigos me visitan de otras partes de la UK, normalmente quieren un curry, ya que Birmingham es rica en casas de curry y en restaurantes indios.

Comimos aquí por el tiempo de la calle 1 anoche y me decepcionó. El servicio fue bueno. Las salsas no eran nada agradables.

Always a great curry, been going over 20 years!!

I haven’t been here for a long time, but it’s still got it !!

3 of us ate in the Kababish last night and it was perfect, perfect popadoms, perfect lamb chops, perfect rice and perfect main courses, my chicken sag balti was one of the best i've had in a long time. I'd also like to add how good the service was, very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be going back to sample more of the menu

This place was definitely good for the chef's sizzler that came with a variety of different meats..really enjoyed it. The seafood sizzler was a disappointment with rubbery tiny prawns and over done fish. But the vegetable semi dry dish that came with seafood sizzler was wonderful! The curries my colleagues had were mediocre and two of them didn't even eat more than a few mouthfuls of their curry saying it was quite bland though I didn't try it myself. Service was friendly and attentive.

We were a party of 8 people who had booked a table. When the food arrived it was dry and there was no sauce to dip the nan bread into one person compared it to the dried dog food he serves his pet We are regulars here but recently the food has become disappointing when ITS GOOD ITS FANTASTIC but they need get there act together

This was one on the best curries I have ever had in a friendly restaurant. The restaurant was busy, but our meals arrived in good time and we'll presented. Will visit again

From 3-6pm on a Sunday, you can have an unlimited taster menu for £10.95.

Went with a TasteCard on a Sunday. Great food complimented by an amazing and friendly duo of Abdul and TT.... Both attentive and efficient. A place to return to....

Abdul is the best waiter looked after us very well as always. Food was amazing always try somethink new just amazing

Beautiful food, first time I've been here was recommended by a friend would definitely return

Brilliant meal 4 course, unlimited bar from 8 pm till midnight. Fantastic singer and D j . All this for 65 pounds. Don’t know how you did all of this, for what you charged . The staff were amazing as usual all got involved with the dancing and singing.

Tabla para 14. La comida de todos servida al mismo tiempo. Todo correcto. Algunos comentaron: "Ese fue el mejor curry que he tenido". La mía era una opción saludable de pollo estilo tandoori con sizzler de garbanzos y puré, que era fabuloso. Pero para mí el servicio es siempre lo más importante y fue brillante. Gran broma del personal que no podría haber sido más amable, o más útil. Una gran noche

Regularmente venimos aquí y siempre recibimos un fantástico servicio de todo el personal, especialmente Mo Salah Look like, abdul y TT. Siempre se aseguran de que nuestra experiencia sea de 2º a ninguno, y son probablemente los 2 mejores camareros del país. Siempre tenemos los entrantes de Shashlik de pollo, ya que siempre es excepcional y nunca nos decepcionan. Para los platos principales, ambos tenemos el pollo dhesi Karrai murgh, que fue recomendado por TT y es excepcional. El servicio es tan bueno que incluso el personal conoce nuestras preferencias (su atención al detalle es de 2ª a ninguna).

Vine aquí para una comida después de que nos lo recomendaron unos amigos. Es un lugar moderno y luminoso y el personal es amable y servicial. Las bebidas están bien ya un precio razonable, pero lamentablemente es la comida que lo decepciona. Tenía lo que tiene que ser la "Mezcla de Balti" más insípida del mundo, no se veía muy bien, carecía de gusto. Otros de nosotros teníamos una Bhoona (aburrida y poco inspiradora, de nuevo sin una verdadera profundidad de sabor). El arroz estaba bien. Comenzamos con Poppadoms que parecía lo suficientemente fresco con dos salsas y cebollas agradables. Así que, aunque no había nada realmente mal con lo que teníamos, no nos inspiró a volver para una visita repetida. Si eres un visitante de Birmingham, entonces no lo tomes como el curry estándar de Birmingham, hay algunas fantásticas casas de curry por ahí. . . Este no es uno de ellos. Lo siento.

Visited with friends hadn’t seen for a while starters ok but curry no depth of flavour !!! It’s a shame because service is very good. There are better curries to be had in Birmingham that’s for sure

A pleasnt mid-week dinner with friends. Food was fine, as was the service. Onion Bhajis are particularly good.

What a wonderful meal.. So delicious and the service was impeccable thank you to Abdul for looking after us very well and being extra patient with us leaving after closing time. We will definitely come again we are sold regulars now for sure!

Fantastic place ! I Do visit other restaurants but always come back here never fails us.

This is my go to restaurant in Birmingham. Always great food and a welcoming atmosphere. It was just what we needed after a day watching cricket at Edgbaston. We didn't arive until about 10.o'clock but we had booked our table and everything was perfect. I think we all had a Balti of one sort or another and as usual the food arrived piping hot and all together. I recommend a Balti Chicken with mushrooms and sag, served with plain naan.

What a shame. I hadn’t been to the Kababish for years until last night. It admittedly was quite late, but the member of staff was very rude. We ordered a starter to share of fish pakora. There was so much black pepper on each piece it was almost inedible. For mains we have a Balti mix and a mixed biryani. The balti was average at best, but the biryani was very greasy and poor. The eggs served with it were grey as they were so over cooked. On the plus side the naan breads were excellent. Not a great meal and the staff need some training in customer service.

What a fantastic meal, we dined at The Kababish in Moseley, our first visit for 12 months or so and it was amazing. As always great food and wonderful service, its never a let down. Can’t wait to go back again

If I could give this place more than five stars I would food amazing service couldn't fault it try something new every time just amazing

Great food. Starters were very good. Highly recommend. Reasonable pricing and they take taste mid week.

What a wonderful place, where the food and service is superb, great atmosphere aswell.

Had a lovely meal with the whole family.

We decided to go here on the spur of the moment, what a disappointment. The decor is lovely. The food was not spicy enough for us. We had starters which were ok, not spicy enough. We sent both main meals back to have them spiced up. These were recommended by the waiter, he told us we would like these. I will not be coming back here in a hurry.

The kabbish is the best Indian I have ever been to can't fault food or service amazing is the only word to describe this place
