I recently visited this place with my family, and it was an absolute disaster. Right in front of all the customers, the manager was fighting and verbally abusing one of the workers in the most unprofessional and shocking way. It was not only uncomfortable but completely inappropriate, especially since we had women and children with us. The manager’s behavior was appalling, and it made the entire experience extremely unpleasant. I would never recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're going with your family. The lack of respect and decency was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Avoid this place at all costs!

Title: Disappointing Grill Experience - Avoid at All Costs I recently visited this restaurant, hoping to enjoy some good grilled food, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. The lamb chops were a joke—clearly boiled in water before being thrown on the grill, leaving them completely flavorless. As for the lamb tikka, it was so soft and mushy it felt like biting into cotton, with absolutely zero taste. What’s worse, the food arrived suspiciously fast. Grilled food should take time to prepare, but they served it in just 10 minutes. It’s obvious they pre-boil everything, ruining any chance of proper flavor. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I will never visit this place again and would strongly recommend everyone stay far away from it.

It was quite busy on Sunday evening as we expected, waited around an hour then got the place on (Takhat) it's a sitting place raised from the ground where you sit on the carpit on it. Food was amazing with original taste of KPK. Chappal kebabs were juicy and delicious, served with big hanging non bread. Dumpukhat and charsi karahiz were tasty too. If you really want to enjoy this Pakistani cuisine Taste of Khyber is the best choice. We travelled from London to all the way Birmingham and the wait and travel was worth it.

They don’t even deserve one star , as we usually go to this restaurant but they are very disrespectful towards customers, they don’t even care about regular customers last time we had food in July 2024 and when we finished we ask to pack the food we left, and they bring food container and foil wrap to us front of other customers families and they said pack it yourself not even pack put in containers and foil wrap it and take it . Like we was beggars??….. no that’s unacceptable behaviour. And then we ask for the water for child and they said you have to pay for water it’s not free And when we got water from outside they get angry on it . They are very rude , very bad service and disrespectful. And please don’t take out there food as well specifically chicken kharhai as we got and it was smelling bad . Like unhealthy uncooked and smells like old stuffed.

Avoided this place like the plague for years due to their never changing zero food hygiene. Recently, on a whim I looked at their rating and was surprised to see it was a 4. Decided to visit. The place has been refurbished to a high level, serious moolah has been spent on this by the look of things. I purchased chapel kebab, naan (neither of these pictured) and the masala fish shown in the image. The kebabs are quite nice, naan is fine but the fish wasn’t too good. Will defo try the kebabs again when I have a craving. On a side note the body language of the staff wasn’t good - pretty grim faced and despondent.

First time here and NEVER AGAIN! This restaurant was recommended to me by someone I know, which makes it worse. There is a separate area for ladies/families which is good. There are separate toilets for men/women and were in a surprisingly good state. Staff cannot speak English very well but they should ask which language the diner speaks as to find common ground. The food itself was fairly tasty but not flavoursome enough for me and somewhat bland. No complimentary water that is often found in most restaurants. Mixed grill had seekh kebabs that were similar to supermarket frozen versions. The fries were decent and a big portion. The mixed grill portion was small considering price. The food was very average like it was prepared by a college kid on a food preparation course. We ordered a lamb charsi karahi and sat there for almost 30 minutes. I got up and asked the waiter and he said it is ready by the till. He ridiculously advised that he thought we wanted it as a takeaway! Not once was I informed that it was ready. I complained and the guy on the till advised he was sorry and refused to admit fault and confirmed that it will be better next time. He only said sorry when I said that there definitely WON'T BE A NEXT TIME! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND ESPECIALLY TIME WITH THESE AMATEURS! If I could give zero stars I would!

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.
