A balti on Ladypool Road

Ladypool Road, Balsall Heath and Sparkbrook

Address: Shababs, 163-165 Ladypool Road, Birmingham B12 8LQ
  • Restaurant
  • Rain-proof ☔
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Foodie

Head to the Balti Triangle, where Birmingham's balti was born, and share a curry served sizzling in the steel bowl it's cooked in, with a naan big enough for two.

Why it's a good date: Cheap, filling and a real taste of the city. Many places don't serve alcohol but let you bring your own, so check first and take a bottle.
