Lahore Kebab House
As some of you may already know I am a sucker for cheap but tasty eats. Nothing excites me more than finding through word of mouth an eating joint that charges you reasonable prices for more than good tasting grub.
Several of my colleagues at work mentioned this fast-food restaurant/take away joint so it was expected that I dragged my husband one day to an unfamiliar destination deep into the city of Birmingham. My colleagues simply said go to Ladypool Road and therein lies the problem. A number of restaurants in that same road has the name 'Lahore' in them so which one is it? As they say go where the locals go and you can't go wrong. In this instance Lahore Kebab House was packed with locals from the Pakistani/Indian community that gave me a warm fuzzy feeling that we hit the right one.
The restaurant has two seating rooms. One is a fast-food type where the open kitchen is also located. The other is a more proper (though informal) sit-down area. You can bring in your drinks whether alcoholic or not. It is a kebab restaurant so their speciality is anything from their grill or from the fryer which for the price did not disappoint one bit. They are mild to medium spiced and not everything tastes the same which tends to be the case with some mediocre kebab place. Here are some of what we ordered:
They also serve curries which are okay though nothing to write home about. You can also order sides like naan breads, rice of different varieties, the usual sauces, even samosas. I have to warn you that this is not the most tidy or cleanest of establishments. When we were there, some of the tables were not properly cleaned of the previous occupants' debris and there is an exposed sink for washing your hands in the fast-food area. I guess you get what you pay for, which for the tastiness of their food is very reasonable indeed.
I have gone back once already and have enjoyed my food as well but I will look for other tidier places with the same standard of food and report here of my finds. In the mean time, if you're in the area and have gotten tired of bland food head over to Lahore Kebab House for some tasty reasonably priced grub.
