Shinwari Dera in Birmingham

Probably best place in Birmingham for eating tarka daal mash and shinwari charsi karahi. Very spacious. Service is amazing. Delicious food. Barbecue is not as amazing as kabul darbar but karahi is better.

It was very Good experience at shinwari Dera "

This place serves quite bad. Waste of money , time and experience. Ordered boneless karahi which i shared should be medium spicy but it came out super spicy, super oily and chicken was hard. They said they will change it. I said ok. It took them again long time to bring karahi again . When i requested to cancel it. Manager of resturant persisted me to get it and made me very uncomfortable by saying that they are giving it as complimentary (though at first place it was their mistake to serve inedible food) . I then quietly accepted new karahi which again was super hard and couldn’t eat. I just packed it , paid the bill quietly and left the resturant. Super bad experience. Environment here was also not decent. Overall very bad experience

Ordered chapli kebab with naan. Kebab’s were super hard,dry and light warm as they were oven heated and spring onions were sprinkled on it. I asked the receptionist and he took back to kicten only one kebab and got us two back saying they’re fresh but again they were same as someone put them into the deep-fry and took out in 2 mins. Informed owner again and advised him to try to separate kebabs by his hand and he tried and realised but still didn’t took any prompt action.Infact i was told to remain silence and he can refund all money back, which was shocking. Ordered their mix platter which arrived 16 mins later and was again not hot. I literally left everything on the table as it is, paid him money and left the hotel.

What happened to the high standard and the delightful fish that used to be served. The kabuli pilau was poor,hard and not soft with big bone peices in. The fish ten pounds for a small piece and non naan or salad. I am saddened and disappointed!

Chappal kebabs Fam Naan sauces All on Point. 1st Delivery order..Food fresh hot tasty .Highly recommended!!! EDGBASTON

One of the best food in Birmingham, I must say that customer service in mind blowing, I visit this beautiful place 2nd time and I am loving it, 👍

Food 👌🔥 one of the best staff amazing highly recommended place if you visit Birmingham must come and eat highly recommended

Banging food mashallah best food in brum

Had to give this 5 stars I had an amazing experience here! The charsi Lamb Karahi was an easy 10/10—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Chapal Kabab was solid too, I’d give it an 8.5/10, packed with spices and just the right texture. Their massive naan was, easy to share. The Kashmiri brother on the counter gave us free water bottle aswell for our journey when he heard we travelled from far so gotta love the hospitality Beyond the food, the ambiance was on point. The private curtained seating added a cozy, intimate feel, and I absolutely loved the pashtun music playing in the background—it really completed the experience.

Have been with family. It was great experience. Specially grill was excellent. Highly recommend this place

Great place for Pakistani and afghani food. Highly recommend and would love to come again and again.

It’s Pashtun restaurant the food was so nice it’s feel like Peshawar

Its food feel like Afghanistan and Peshawar special the service of badsha

Very very tasty food and nice service. Thank to Great Bacha Saib

Had a friends get together here and really enjoyed it. The food was really fresh and delicious with very cool ambience. The staff there is very well trained and polite and helped us alot in sorting everything out as it was a big gathering. Special thanks to Mansoor (bacha) at shinwari dhera

The food was very good and delicious Thank you Bacha G…

Wallah everyone come and try charsi Karahi of lamb chapal kebab

Very good food specially service thank badsha

Great food and service. Loved the Chapli Kebabs! Recommended!

I prefer kabul darbar down the road , this place delivers burnt kebabs and the toilets are not clean

Very friendly staff great environment amazing food

Amazing authentic afghan restaurant , staff were lovely and welcoming.

Ordered the chicken karahi - awesome flavour. Restaurant has a nice spacious layout with ideal ambience. Owner and waiters were very helpful.

Good service, good food alhumdulliah

Great food, freshly cooked - lovely Aromatic flavours - the large naan is great too. Great efficient service Would recommend

We’ve been coming to these guys for years and their enticing taste buds and great customer service has never let us down. I personally love the chappal kababs and Karahi. It’s so flavoursome and full of culture. The atmosphere is family friendly and is open for everyone.

Bacha Khan was amazing and friendly and his colleague Min Bista was very awesome. Food is delicious and value for money. Please visit if you can.

Lovely service and delicious food! Would recommend :)

Lovely food. Amazing atmosphere. Dera maza e okra!

Very spicy, overcooked, burned and dry food, The kids and Mrs didn't eat it , I had to eat it; its not Afghan or Pashtun style instead Punhsbi style , not recommended , sitting place is nice and clean

One of the best restaurants in Birmingham for Peshawari / Shinwari / Afghan cuisine. Family platters are amazing. Good portion size and delicious taste. Staff are courteous and friendly.

Lamb shoulder with rice is the best in menu. You need to order it 2 hours before going to restaurant.

Visité aquí por primera vez para una cena tardía. Absolutamente deliciosa comida - el mejor chapli kebab que he probado en Birmingham. También pedimos un pollo karahi que estaba perfectamente cocinado y especiado (pedimos que se hiciera picante) y un par de naans recién hechos. El restaurante tiene zonas de estar muy lindas (cabinas elevadas, con cortinas rojas aterciopeladas) y se mantiene fiel a sus raíces afganas. Realmente no podíamos fallar el servicio. Todo el personal de FOH era amable y extremadamente servicial. Es tan encantador cenar en un restaurante donde el personal realmente se preocupa por su experiencia. En mi opinión, este es el tipo de restaurantes que deberían celebrarse y estar en el extremo de recibir premios en Birmingham. La comida es mucho mejor que algunas de las marcas más grandes del centro de la ciudad, la relación calidad-precio es increíble (incluso se obtiene una ensalada fresca y chapuzones gratis) ; y no hay pretensiones. Solo deliciosa comida y hermosa hospitalidad. Gracias, Shinwari Dera. ¡Volveremos!

Food was good specially butter chicken Karahi. Service was good

Great food and service. Authetic taste

Last night had dinner at shinwaari tikka I eaten many lamb charsi karahi everywhere in uk but the charsi karahi by dera shinwari is on the top among us of all no meat smell what a taste same like in Peshawar Pakistan their naan very very soft and the rice was mouth watering Chapli kebab had unique taste chaye is really good staff is very kind nd supportive and owner shakeel shb very humble and good personality if your are coming from other cities to Birmingham and Desi food lover must must try that. I bet you love that.

Good food and service overall. Decent prices would go again and recommend.

The best food we had from the chapli kebab too the sizzling platter. The staff are so welcoming they go above and beyond to satisfy your needs. All I can say is if you haven’t tried it you’re missing out.

Tasty food. First time for me and I must recommend.

Excellent authentic Shinwari, Chappal Kebab and nicely done Namkeen Tikka. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Came with family what an amazing restaurant with great fresh food. Thank you for the great service to the staff

Unprofessional staff. Arrogant attitude with customers.

I took 2 families with me (about 12 people), we had ordered everything from chops to rice to sheesh kebabs to everything Including the curries too.... The food was extremely outstanding and fresh and the taste was amazing too... Servicemen were extremely polite and friendly... Most definitely recommend this place to eat at... I will be definitely returning again!!!! Thank you

Have always loved this place.. the masala lamb chops are amazing so juicy, tender and tasty.. their tarka daal also another favourite you have to try this place.. thanks for the amazing service too.

This is the place to go to if you want authentic delicious tasting food, service is always brilliant and a huge thank-you to the owner for always accommodating me and my family, appreciate the complimentary Mango Lassi which was also yummy 🙏🏽

Gorgeous, homely comfort food. Service fast & friendly. Prices are superb with no compromise with quality of food. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service and delicious food. Definitely worth the visit. Can't wait to go again.

Been here several times with family the staff are ever so welcoming and the food is amazing mashallah ! Best kabuli pilau authentic and lovely green tea . May there be more barkah in your business thankyou 🙏

Brother Shakeel served me and my wife amazing and respectable service. The price was good the food was amazing especially the grilled lamb and chops. Highly recommend you try this place.

Wallahi it is one of the best restaurants ever

We just came for a quick bite to Shinwari Dera, it's our first time trying this restaurant. The sheekh kebab and the masala fish were outstanding. The service was very good, the restaurant is clean and the food was very fresh. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent, freshly prepared food. Really tasty! We enjoyed our meal. They have cubicles with curtains for privacy.

The food was amazing! Especially the chappali kebabs best I've had.

Lovely family friendly place to eat, accommodating family booths. The food was fresh and delicious specially the Chappal Kabab and the service made you feel at home.

Meat was not fresh and overall very average tasting karahi, more of lahore taste than the food from frontier area

Ideal for an office dinner or lunch. I was here recently with a group of 8 friends. Seating was adequate and the place looked busy. Customer service was satisfactory. Quality of the food was excellent and prompt.

Delicious food and amazing service 😋

The food was so good, it tasted just like authentic Afghan food. The portions were generous and the green tea was amazing. I also loved the Pashto music playing in the background.

ordered kabuli pilau and chappal kabab, kabuli pilau was very tasty flavourful and fresh, will be ordering it again, the chappal kabab was very nice also. did not disappoint. shakeel was a great host too.

Excelente calidad, servicio, ambiente. Tenía algunas expectativas altas y no fue decepcionado, la comida era muy sabrosa y el servicio era amable y muy eficiente.

Great food, authentic Afghani/Pashawari food. Service was also very good.

Too good. Amazing food.Loved it.👌🏻

Absolutely amazing food, can't fault it in any way.

This place is beyond incredible! From the second you step inside, you're greeted by a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly feels like home. The food? Absolutely out of this world—each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors that leave you craving more with every bite. But what truly sets this place apart is the hospitality. The staff treats you like family, with such genuine care and warmth that it transforms your entire dining experience. If you're looking for a place that does it all—amazing food, unbeatable ambiance, and service that goes above and beyond—you absolutely *must* come here! Trust me, once you do, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

Terrible experience. The guy who served was a nice person but the food was terrible.

Really lovely food, nice flavours, meat soft and we'll cooked - only thing I would improve is to check meat for small and sharp pieces of bones and I don't mean the one is attached to the meat but those that should have been removed when cut and cleaned. Very friendly and attentive staff, Nice atmosphere, clean place, fast service, Price is on higher side, Unfortunately cash only Can definitely recommend Charsi karahi 👌

It was a pleasure dining at Shinwari Dera; we had the Shinwari Chicken Karahi and the Kabuli Polau. The food tasted really good and was well-presented, the staff friendly and attentive and the overall ambience was clean and suited for families. It could be tricky finding a parking space on busy evenings. I would definitely visit again.

Best food and excellent service. We ordered Shinwari chersi tikka,chops,chersi chicken, and daal. Will recommend it and go again.

Great food and service. Delicious food

El servicio era excelente y la comida era excelente, recién cocinada y extremadamente sabrosa. Todo a un precio razonable

We eat out every weekend and it’s been a very long time since I’ve honestly been so impressed with the food. Staff courteous & owner personally attended to everyone. Well done everyone. Hope to make this our regular!

They don't deserve a single star .I was in trouble why I was wet with delivery outfit

I went here with a large family, good seating and clean. The food was really well cooked. The large mix grill and the menu in general is a little over priced considering the portions. The lamp chops were cooked to perfection and the tikka was not dry as most places. The lamb and chicken shinwari mains were spectacular. The only issue was the lamb had small loose bones in the gravy which was a pain, But overall I enjoyed the food.

Absolutely amazing food! Definitely will visit again and highly recommended. Ordered chicken karahi, Afghani naan, chapali kabab, kabuli pulao. Everything was perfect🩷

Food quality is very poor believe me I never eat any food like this In fast time I eat poor taste and cooking

One of the best restaurant of pakhtoon Shinwari food☺️

Lamb karahi was very tasty will come again for karahi and Pulao but lamb chops was tasteless

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shinwari Dera Restaurant and overall, my experience was fantastic. The food was incredibly flavorful, and the service was commendable. The Lamb Charsi Karahi was a highlight; the flavors were rich and satisfying. My only suggestion would be to add a little more sauce to enhance the dish even further. The grill chops and wings were absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection with a delightful blend of spices. While most of the meal was exceptional, I found the lamb kebab and chicken kebab to be lacking in comparison. These dishes could use a bit more attention to reach the same standard as the rest of the menu. Despite this minor setback, the excellent service and the majority of the dishes more than made up for it. I look forward to returning and enjoying more of what Shinwari Dera has to offer!

I recently dined at *Shanwari Deera*, and it was an experience worth sharing! The star of the evening was their Lamb Karahi, which was simply exceptional. The lamb was tender and cooked to perfection, with the spices blending harmoniously to create a rich and flavorful dish. The gravy was thick and aromatic, perfect for scooping up with warm naan bread. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill in balancing traditional flavors with a modern touch. Alongside the Lamb Karahi, I had the Grill Platter, which was a feast in itself. The platter featured a variety of meats, each grilled to perfection. The smoky char on the meats added an extra depth of flavor, while the marinade provided a spicy kick that was both satisfying and delicious. The platter was generously portioned, making it perfect for sharing. The ambiance at *Shanwari Deera* was equally impressive. The decor is traditional yet inviting, with comfortable seating and warm lighting that set the perfect mood for a relaxed meal. The service was prompt and friendly, with the staff eager to ensure that everything was to our liking. Overall, Shanwari Deera offers a dining experience that’s hard to beat. The quality of the food, especially the Lamb Karahi and Grill Platter, paired with the welcoming atmosphere, makes it a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic and flavorful cuisine. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.

Comida excelente. Muchas opciones en el menú. El chef también salió a saludarnos y nos explicó y recomendó desde el menú. Personal muy amable y acogedor. El lugar es precioso acaba de pasar por una renovación. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Food is always on point , we had charsi lamb karahi , naan , salad as a quick meal & it was delicious. Freshly cooked , piping hot table naan and the owner came out to ask if we needed anything else. Prices are reasonable & good setting.

What an amazing food , tender meat , tasty and juicy pulow. Overall A MUST VISIT PLACE for meat lovers .

Delicious foods! Staffs are great friendly. Nice decorations! I will be returning to them again!

Delicious food with amazing atmosphere 💕

We had pleasure to dine here today, and had an excellent experience. They have private spaces for the families with curtains. The food served to us was very authentic and similar to what we have in Peshawar. We had lamb charsi tikka, lamb charsi karahi, chapli kebab and qabli pulao. Charis tikka were extremely tender and juicy, chapli kebab were nice and charsi karahi along with pulao were authentic. The staff were all very welcoming, helpful, and pleasant. We will definitely return in future insha'Allah. 10/10 for the food, staff and environment

Excellent food - lamb chops were a bit out - but everything else was spot on -

dirty, unhygienic, no proper hand wash facilities

The lamb karahi here is so so tasty as is the chapli kebab. It has become a regular !

Had shinwari lamb karahi.very nicely cooked lamb.it was tender and we didn't have to wait long either.my only issue was not enough gravy to go with half a kg lamb so bear that in mind when placing an order. We'll be back to try something else

Chicken shinwari 10/10, overall food was good.

Great Food 10/10 Good customer service, beautiful atmosphere

Nice and relaxed family restaurant.. Food was delicious and very decently priced..

Customer service wasn't good and the prices are too high for the portion size. Won't be going back there again. Overrated

Worst management. Not recommended with family. They don’t know how to host customers. One staff will make u sit on a table and the other may come and ask u to leave the table. No hospitality although pakhtoon/ Afghan is all about hospitality. We visited the place and experience the same. The food might be good. It’s an embarrassment.

Food was excellent, good portion and reasonable price 😋 and on top of that good customer service 👌
