Birmingham is the home of many things. But one of the most famous (and delicious) is the Balti.
Introducing Shababs.
Located on Ladypool Road, Shababs is one of Birmingham’s very best Indian restaurants and a pioneer of the Balti.
When it comes to the Birmingham Balti, it doesn’t get much more legendary than Shababs. One of the most prestigious of the pioneers of the famous curry which was developed and honed in Birmingham’s Balti Triangle, if you’re looking to hit the streets of Brum in search of the best Balti around, then direct your steps towards Shababs.
Originally founded in 1987, Shababs is a veteran of Birmingham’s Balti scene and one of the best places to enjoy a true, authentic Balti. The Balti is cooked in the same dish it is served in, with the cast iron Balti pans being used over and over, each time improving the flavour of the dish. Cooked over a high flame, this delicious curry is packed full of flavour and heat and is an absolute must for your Birmingham bucket list.
There’s no better place to sample the delights of this Brummie staple than at Shababs, one of the few remaining authentic Balti houses. Order one of their delicious, soft, fluffy naans to scoop up all of those mouth-watering flavours for the ultimate curry expeirence. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
Of course, there’s more to Shababs than just their exceptional Baltis (although that is what they’re famous for) and for those of you who fancy branching out from the Balti there are lots of equally tasty dishes on their menu for you to sample too. From Bhuna to Korma, to Biryani, Jalfreezi and Rogan Josh, you’ll find all of your favourite curries here – all cooked with passion using traditional techniques and recipes for mouth-watering, authentic flavours. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to leave you full and satisfied with a great big smile on your face. The table naans are enormous and an absolute must to mop all of those lovely, rich flavours and leave your plates sparkling clean (because you’ll want to eat every last tasty morsel).
The restaurant interior has everything you want from a classic Balti restaurant with a modern edge. A mix of luxury details and a laid-back atmosphere – but let’s face it you’re here for the food not the décor! You’ll feel relaxed and welcome at Shababs and you’ll leave with full bellies and happy hearts.
The fact that Shababs has been open for over 35 years is testament to their delicious food and excellent service. They pride themselves on providing an exceptional service for their guests and have many repeat customers who keep coming back for more because of it. If you’re looking to try a true, authentic Birmingham Balti then a trip to Shababs is an absolute must.
