SHAHI NAN KABAB
Dim and I visited Shahi Nan Kabab on 8 December 2006. When I visited Plaza, I saw this place busy, so I returned to see what it was.
This is how it looks like from the outside. Curiously it has two kitchens, one on the front, and the other in the rear. For this reason, the waiters were running to and fro all the time.
Dim had mixed kebab, chips and garlic naan. I don't remember exactly how much did it cost, but it looked bit steep for the quantity, considering significant part of the chops was bone. Lamb chops were very nice, though.
I had vegetable Biryani. It was quite wet for Biryani (as wet as Italian risotto), and it was very hot (biryani is usually only slightly hot). At the beginning, the waiter did not bring the curry sauce that was announced on the menu, and I had to call his attention to it. The vegetable, I think, was usual frozen mix vegetable. It was quite nice, and again very hot.
This is garlic naan. Loads of garlic. Average. Dim wanted cheese naan, but it was not on the menu, so the waiter suggested this instead.
All these, plus chips and a tin of coke cost about £16. It is not particularly of good value, as we did not have full meal.
The interesting thing about this restaurant is that the most of the people were eating with their hand. If you want to feel to be in Bangladesh or Pakistan, this is a good place to go.
Here is the address: 353 Stratford Road, Sparkhill Birmingham
(This is not a kind of place you book a table, as being something beteen restaurant and first food shop).
