Karahi King Hall Green in Birmingham

Great food, average service and environment, prices have crept up slowly, but still the only local joint serving traditional Pakistani food which hasn't become a smash burger, dessert or chai place.

Lovely fresh food, love their mix grill, staff is very nice too, especially Punjabi girl waitress Sandu Very helpful , she helped us with moving tables around to settle our big family.

I order takeaway came home open the food so I could eat with the family very embarrassing food was burnt completely shame call the Stafford Road branch they say to me the whole green branch restaurant they are not together they sold the restaurant so it is not one. You rather make food at home then use this restaurant.

Delicious always fresh and tasty chicken sheesh kebabs !!

I have been coming here for around 5 years lovely hearty food always hot. I feel like im at home. Also families can have privacy 2 different rooms available if needed. Mo.

Been to this place by mistake,very dirty and outdated,they try to sell u nearly expired food,very rude ,avoid this place if u dnt want to have stomach issues and not to waste ur money,

The best thing is whenever i go to get rotti in noon, its quick, quickest than others Sometimes bit crowded

Excellent service. Karam Sandu I’ll make sure I don’t come on a Wednesday (which is your day off). Food was nice.

Best food in Birmingham its so delicious 🥰 staff is very friendly with every one. Specially one slim guy i think his name is sahil khan. I recommend to all try the food 🥘 thank u to all give us good service and fresh food 🍛

Food was very niece I ordered lamb chops and lamb karayi that was very amazing and in there have one girl I think she is Indian and her tattoo on arm Sandhu ..she is very niece she did good customer services and very polite smiley

Karahi King has consistently been my top choice, and now it truly feels like my second home. I've never encountered any problems here. The staff is warm and welcoming, and it's great to see some fresh faces. The passion and dedication from both owners are evident, as they are always on-site. I've noticed significant improvements in customer service and the overall decor of the restaurant. One unique aspect is that the staff actually enjoys their own food together at a communal table, which reassures customers that they take pride in the quality of what they serve and prioritize healthy meals. Kadai King was always my first preference. I think Kadai King is the only restaurant in Hall Green where you can come and enjoy laziness with your friends and family again and again within your tight budget.

Food was amazing . customer service is also good and their indian receptionist is beautiful and polite.

vary Yummy food Very polite and very good service Especially the girl sandu

Customer service very good staff very niece food also very delicious

Here is one prettiest gurl her name is karmjeet sandhu she is very polite her nature is awesome i like her personality thanks sandhu dear .

I highly recommend the meat bhuna, which is absolutely finger-licking delicious, along with the chicken seekh kebabs. Don't let the unassuming appearance fool you—this place serves some of the best food around. In my experience, the fancier a restaurant looks, the more the food tends to fall short, often overshadowed by presentation. Just a small suggestion: it would be great if the menus were cleaned more frequently, as they were a bit dirty. That said, the staff here is always lovely and hardworking, making it a consistently enjoyable dining experience.

What a shame They sent me daal (lentil) expired With smell from them I don’t know why food authority don’t check them Please avoid avoid and avoid to go there You gonna end up with health issue

I am disgusted by the hygiene practice here.. there is none. The guy grabs the uncooked kebabs with his bare hands and prepared them on the seekh,,, and then he grabs full cooked chicken with his bare hands and puts it in the microwave for someone's else order,, the he uses the same hands to clean up the microwave area with dirty piece of cloth and then he comes back to prepare the rest of the kebabs with his same bare hands. Another guy, on the tandoor, with his long uncovered beard, making naan and roti,, even this guy is using his bare hands with his bare sweaty arms and shoving those naans and rotis in the tandoor with his sweat mixed in the bread. Someone needs to report this place to health and safety for them to give this place a surprise mystery customer visit and see for themselves how these people are preparing and serving the food, possibly with lots of bacteria. Never going back to this filthy place, with rude staff. Not even recommended to anyone, unless you don't mind dirty food. What is

Their fish is good. Karahi is average. Staff is friendly.

Food was nice some chicken tikkas were raw. Service was absolutely atrocious. Made us move about 3 times after we had told them we already booked a day before. Waitresses talked smack about us in punjabi but luckily we understood. Only stayed cause we were with family and did not want to cause hastle. Will never visit again. If you dont believe me then visit yourself. Thankyou.

Sent salad back because it was old and dry, they send replacement salad out and was still old and dry. The guy working told me it was fine.

Person who took my order today at the front desk was quite rude imo. He told me to go elsewhere for desserts as the restaurents quality is substandard. I think he should keep his opinion to himself and let the customer judge the quality. Never mind!

After a long day at the farm we came here for the first time, because of the kids wasn’t sure if the kids would like but they actually loved it! We ordered cheese 2 sheesh kebab,cheese burger meal, chicken tikka burger meal, butter chicken karahi with 3 naan and 5 cans of drink for £34.

Amazing experience Would definitely come again

I got food poisoning from here. DO NOT RECOMMEND The food was actually nice but the aftermath not so much. I guess thats what you get for paying cheap.

The food was amazing I ordered shish kabab and peri peri chicken chips naan and drinks and the price was amazing to Very nice will definitely go again

Really bad experience. Whole point of grilled food is cooked to order, this guy started warming up cooker breast and wings from the fridge! Terrible place and service.

Very worst behaved person on reception. We went to the shop to order some food to have a try but we don’t know they only take money and once we told we don’t have cash and we can only pay by phone and we start leaving the shop saying, sorry we don’t have cash and can inly pay by phone. His tone gets changed and start acting weird. Will avoid it in future.

Proper pendu people havent got a card machine so got a attitude never to come this place

The food was amazing and the Service was good defo come again

Both meals were so heavily full of chillis they were unpalatable.very disappointing

Never again !!! We give them 2 chances and this is 3rd one (take away) disgusting!!! Fish smells ammonia, fries are boild not fried! Disgusting!!! So if you like to have this kind of food....well is your choice. I won't feed my animals with!!!

We went there last night with friends ..your staff was not cooperative and your service was very bad .And there was no expiry date on your sweet section.we complainid about this to your staff but your staff behaviour was very bad

food not recommended all.. Everyone staff was no good ..

Food is good and traditional Cash only business please make sure you take cash with you

Ride staff orderd food was paying with card no card accepted only cash went cash point not working get woth the times

Ordered lamb chops , biryani, lamb karahi, Lamb karahi was fine, lamb chops were not grilled properly , that portion was half cooked , one can’t bite that which they served us, and also there is no card payment service over there, one need to go cash machine for 5 minute walk . Was not good experience, m not coming back .

Iam a regular customer and Iam very disappointed as they have 2 types of kebabs when I order over the phone and collect when I get back home and see the are the very small size ones , today I went to collect my order and I saw with my own eyes that they had an order over the phone and the man asked the owner shall I make these ones and when I looked he pointed and the small ones so they are cheating some customers now by Charing the same price but giving small size kebabs very disappointed with the customer service once I complained over the phone to and the man said that’s What is it we can’t do anything I said that’s not right you charing same but given small ones in reality they are dodging people so plz be aware when ordering and collecting your kebabs

Food is OK but service was very poor. The hygiene is questionable too

I came here for a family meal. & i was absolutely disgusted with the service. the workers are very unprofessional & don’t know how to run/ work in a restaurant. my bill was all over the place & the food wasn’t that great. we ordered 3 burger meals. & they all came together. however one of the plates of food had about 10 chips on the plate while the other portions of chips were decently sized. i asked for the rest of the chips from the plate of the burger meal & they charged me for it ! & i disagreed with this because he said “okay i’ll bring your fries” & didn’t say he was going to charge for them. & when i was saying i wasn’t going to pay for it he kept saying “are you arguing with me over £2” & he was raising his voice at me. i was honestly astonished with the lack of hospitality & the poor customer service. the workers were giving me different prices & when i asked for a breakdown of what he was charging he wasn’t very sure & didn’t give me it. the cleanliness off the place wasn’t great at all & the toilets stank like urine & looked like it hasn’t been cleaned for a while.

Was hungry and found this gem. Staff was nice and courteous. Karahi and Kebabs were made fresh. Nans and rotis were soft and crispy. Presentation wasn’t bad either. Price was absolutely affordable. Will definitely recommend this.

Nice restaurant, tried the peri peri chicken, was tasty, be nice if they offered a range of flavours

All dishes are excellent. Chicken shish kebab is brilliant

Today. I went there to buy some food. But, to my shock the owner or whoever was he was his behaviour with the woman at the cash counter was so rude and unethical that I had to cancel my order and leave the restaurant. This is not how you treat your employees.

Service and quality is amazing. Price is incredible. Most recommended

I had got a takeaway from here once and it was okay. But I visited again with family for a dine in and it was one of the worst experiences. There’s a girl with glasses walking around looking lost with zero interest and zero customer service skills. I ordered masala fish naan, sheesh kebab naan , fries and Keema naan. The masala fish (cod) was tiny and lacked flavour. The sheesh kebabs were big but not very meaty. Seemed like they had a lot of chicken and perhaps flour/veg to bulk them up and the texture was strange. I ended up leaving most of it. The keema naan was basically not keema. It was the same mix that the sheesh kebabs were made from. I asked the confused girl for an extra plate and she gave one that was wet and had some dirt inside it. Overall very disappointed and won’t be going back!

Just come back from this place beautiful food amazing staff have to say the kebabs wer spot on and the karahi amazing 10 out of 10 must try and defo will be going back thank you guys

AVOID, AVOID,AVOID, absolutely terrible and over priced. Waiting staff were rude and not helpful we asked what drinks they had they just bluntly said “everything apart from coke and pepsi”. They should at least have it on the menu. Got the food and didn’t taste great for the amount of money. I spent £20 and feel like I got robbed. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

So me and my friends decided to go out to eat and we picked this place. Bro we went I the place was dirty other customers where load. And when we got our food it was cold and most things on the menu they didn't sell. I ordered chicken pakoras and they didn't have in stock they also was very rude and very blunt with me. Avoid like the plauge

Went at 1pm. No customers in there ! Never a good sign. No lamb Sheesh kebabs available ! That's what I went for. Only 1 guy working - looked bored !! I then quickly left & went to Karak Chai instead.

Absolutely horrendous food! Was rushing me when making my order, didn’t even ask my name! Food was cold, given chicken kebab instead of lamb sheesh. Wrong number of naan and chips that felt like they’d been made a day before and reheated. I would give no stars if I could.

Food has always been quite reasonable but service was not so good before when eating in. Now it seems 1 new waitress has lifted the standard 200%. Despite a busy period, she served us quickly providing correct amount of glasses and plates and fresh nan roti.

I enjoyed a lot when went with frnds... A good place with light decoration. Very Friendly people. Food is fresh and tasty.. And cheap as well.

It was good food specially lamb karahi and kabab. Food is cheap as compare to other restaurants. I will recommend as a best branch in hall green.

Very good place for food and enjoy.. 😋😋😋 very tasty food and karahies

Not very friendly people. Also ONLY take cash. Who on earth does not accept cards nowadays. There is only one reason why businesses only take cash that I can think of.

Very good food. Cooked fresh and hot prepared while you wait. Really well priced compared to other overpriced shops that offer the same food at the same taste and quality. Any problems with the food, the staff replace with a new portion immediately. Desserts also available full of flavour. Definitely worth a try for anyone that wants good food for a very good price 👍

Nice place with a aged interior but food was really good. Ordered mixed grill, butter chicken and naans and it was all great. Service was good too

Foods good and service is excellent

We ordered chicken and lamb karahi, channa dal, mixed grill. Food was delicious, service was little slow. There is free off road parking.

Had a very bad experience. Used to go regularly but quality of food going down day by day. Served food with stinking, horrible Never go back again. Staff even wasn't agreed meat was off when clearly see n smell not a fresh cooked

Quite suprised by the quality of the food. Ordered masala fish and lamb karahi and it was really good. Nicely cooked, good service. We were 3 adults and a child and price was reasonable. I recommend this. Not too flashy in decor and not too simple or bland either.

Genuinely the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had, strongly would not recommend. Wasn’t sure wether it was the wings or sheesh kebab. Ironically the service given was grand it was just the food that was woeful.

Good food, service needs a bit of upliftment

Very nice food and very nice staff also price is very cheap iff you compared now days with other places they have decorations only this is really authentic 👍

Alhumdulillah v good tasty food freshly prepared

Best karahi ever made never ate something like this

Not a nice place to go for food

Food was very delicious Highly recommended

Best tea in brum tea come out in 1 minute friendly staff will be visiting again

I do enjoy the 1kg lamb karahi which has an authentic Pakistan taste and is consistently excellent. 5 Stars every time. My only suggestion to the management is to pay a little bit more attention to the cleaning of the restaurant.

Lovely kebabs curry and mix grill, good service

So ordered food at this places earlier today and waited almost 25mins I asked for some mayonnaise as he was packing my order. The middle age Pakistani guy who’s in his 50 was very arrogant and told me he does not have any mayo although I just saw putting some on my burger. I was happy pay for mayo tub but this guy was so rude, I left the place without food. I have never in my life received such a poor service.

The food was amazing. Big portions as well. Hard to find a parking space though which is on street.

First and last time visiting,Horrible service.The dining area was awfull and the food was uncooked and the class,cups,forks and knives weren't washed.It was unhygienic.

Excellent and exceptional value. Sheesh kebabs are best in Birmingham. Great Balti dishes and superb service. The Hall Green branch is quieter than the Coventry Road one which is a great advantage.

Cheap and cheerful, the lamb curry was very tangy and the daal lacked the relevant spices and the buttery taste BUT both main courses were a generous portion. The mixed grill was delicious and ticked all the boxes. The fries were fresh, crispy and really did hit the spot. Overall, a pleasant experience!

Simply the food was FANTASTIC 😋

Karahi king hall green excellent food excellent service went with my family for iftar will definitely be going again when I ain't fasting a must try the lamb karahi 10 out of 10

Very average, typical Pakistani takeaway with some seating. Generally dirty throughout with Pakistani men that find it tough to break a smile. This place used to be great around 5-8 years ago. Most of their stuff is microwaved, not unusual for an establishment like this. Won't rush back but as long as your expectations are low, you'll be ok.

This place might be good for takeaway but it is worst for dining in. I went there with my kids, there was no one serving the dining area. We stood there for sometime but no one took notice of us 5 people standing in the middle of the dining area. Staff were passing by and looked busy. we then sat down on an emty table and spend few minutes there but still no sign of anyone serving although few tables were occupied. We had to leave the restaurant and go somewhere else.

Would not recommend. First and last time. Upon entering we were told to go ahead and find a seat, we then had to call someone over to get a menu and then again to take order. Only one other family dining at time so no excuse of being busy. Did not expect to wait so long for food to arrive, drinks ordered and instead a jug of water with dirty glasses was placed on table. Had to ask waiter after 30 mins of waiting how much longer food would take stated he would go to check and instead returned to serve the only other family who were in restaurant. Plenty of people coming in and out of kitchen area with drinks and food dining themselves then returning to back. During which we were sat waiting to be served. Toilet facilities were disgusting bad smell and dirty clearly not been cleaned in a while. Along with this and appalling service we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere upon leaving we were told our food was nearly ready and that the wait was due to order being cooked freshly hard to believe as the ones who were meant to be cooking food were clearly too busy eating themselves. Needless to say we left as the lack of service was a clear indication of what was to be expected of food. Save yourselves time and money and go elsewhere.

Ordered Cod in Nan and the small chunk of cod was horribly prepared , ordinary salad with external layers of onions , a very disappointing food experiance , they are just like any run of mill take aways in the town with respect to food taste , definately not recommanded

Food was great customer service was great

Nice place, food is good Pleasant experience

freshly prepared food..good service Liked their mix grill and lamb karahi..

Always enjoy there Tarka Daal and Roti.

Food was fresh, kids enjoyed it will visit more often

Food was late, bad service and very rude staff Sorry, was old customer but never again

Pakistani cuisine Home style cooking. Prices reasonable.

Best shoeshine kebabs in Birmingham.

Dined at this restaurant on 17/11/21. had starters and lamb karahi with roti. The lamb was fresh and very soft, was cooked really good. There is three karahi king restaurant's in Birmingham and I have been to all on many occasions, but this is the best one and has best service.

Average food, service can be slow at times. Overall not really a memorable experience.

Food was little delayed but was worth it. Great taste karahi, friendly staff.

Traditional taste of all grilled meat.

Food on point.. Good customer service.. especially chap on front grill... Sorted me out just before closing time.. Much appreciated 👍🏽

Great and efficient service. Called up and placed a phone order. I was told it would take 20 minutes and when I arrived it was bagged up ready for collection. The quality of the food that we have tried is very good. We regularly get the naan and shish kebab combo for ourselves and parties and the quality had always been good, even for large orders. We have recently tried the charga (rotisserie chicken) and masala fish which were also nice, although the masala fish was a little small. Prices are reasonable, but they only take cash so ensure you bring some. Otherwise there is a cash point in the Tesco express which is about 2 minutes walk.

Poor hygiene, got food poisoning

Really good food. Lamb karahi was perfect and the chicken seekh kebab are the best I've had. Wraps and burgers for the kids weren't the best, but it's not what you'd go to KK to eat.

Tasty food, highly recommend for Pakistan cuisine. Only negative thing is no dessert. But you will find lots of other desserts shops around it.
