Oh dear… same old Shababs, see customer as cash cow; zero customer respect not willing to accept any culpability for their misdirection and usual antics; not sir the hairy bikers would have recommended them if they had ordered a takeaway today lo; my advice take on a home balti chef way cheaper hopefully more reliable and accepting of paying customer requests, I rang specially to ask for extra redsauce, could tell person taking calls and totally ignoring customer specific requests tonight was un

The website stated that the food was delivered but it was not. It took in excess of 2hrs for the order to arrive. Despite chasing and being told max 15mins (after 1.5hrs wait). The curry was very average. Will not order again.

£19 for a lamb curry with rice. Small portion size, No drinks or naans. What an utter rip off. Food wasnt even good, i left half. I hear they pay the staff incredibly poorly (£4 per hour) too.

Definitely a 5 star curry. And I'm particular. So glad we chose this place. Had a king prawn Balti with spinach. Awesome! And those of you who know will know the Hairy Bikers came here upon one time and even cooked. Still a very tasty dish made with their name on it. I think you'll be glad you made it to this Balti Triangle restaurant.

Worst experience ever . Horrible tasting food. Asked for a spicy karahi and we got a sweet tasting curry with capsicum and raw tomatoes no green chilli at all . Wonder who calls it a karahi and the tikka was full of oil as if it was fried and then just reheated to be served. Will never be going again even if it was free

This is from Saudi Eats in Birmingham, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa Make it a point to visit this aunthentic Indian restaurant when you are in Birmingham. The balti dishes were as exceptional as ever – we’ve never had better. 💯 The naan was also excellent. Though the restaurant was a bit crowded, which is understandable given that many people travel from afar to experience their incredible cuisine. Overall, resonable food as everything we had was just for 52£. Will definitely be back again once in Birmingham. Thank you for hosting us! 🥰

One of the worst if not THE worst indian takeaway I have ever had! The poppadoms were burnt the salad was full chunks of salad not diced with no herbs/coriander in it. The dip was a single dip which looked like leftovers from other dips mixed together. The nann was rubbery and doughey and only cooked on one side it was dreadful. As for the main the meat was over cooked the portion was only in a 500ml tub there wasn't much sauce and It certainly did not taste like a chicken tikka masala as I ordered. The only positives I can give is that the spicing was good and there was a good proportion of meat in the dish, that said I definitely will not be returning. A waste of a hard earned £36 and a disappointing rare treat!!!

Absolutely awesome curry! Four pals and I hit the joint tonight (Friday) for our second feed on this curry drag over the years. We hit Birmingham only once per year for Symphony Hall music geekery, but have done so since the late nineties. Whilst it isn't the highlight of our weekend in town, it is indeed optimal that we receive our share of premium quality scran. The place was busy but not rammed. My Tandoori grill was arguably the best I've tried. The cheese naan tasted fine and was pretty huge (I dusted it, don't panic). Rice's and starters sailed down. Beers were scored from the off-licence some yards up the road so it saved a few quid. Service was friendly and conversation fluent. Impressive all round for sure 👍

This place was amazing, I've never been to Birmingham or to the balti triangle, having travelled down from the north east of England we had to find a good curry house and oh boy did we. I've always just stuck to plain korma, and after chatting to the lovely manager (credit to to family what a lovely gentleman) he said oh no try this dish and it was amazing, all the food from the starters to mains were gorgeous, the lamb I always find a bit fatty but not here, just melted in your mouth. The wait staff were very friendly, the service was excellent from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. I would highly recommend this place to any!!!

When called for an update after the latest arrival time had been and gone and changed for the 2nd time was spoken to rudely and with poor excuses. One being food is freshly cooked yet arrived luke warm despite a short delivery distant. Ordered a cheese & garlic naan not sure what happened to the cheese.

Food was ordered at 16:55 for a requested planned delivery at 18:30 which is ample time for delivery of two balti within a 15min drive radius. The restaurant then changed the delivery time to 19:00 for their convenience. This is not the first time this has happened with Shababs but every single time our orders have been delivered late. This is a shame because their food is actually excellent but the customer service is really poor. I went and collected the food myself.
