The 15 Best Curry Houses in Birmingham

Birmingham is the undisputed curry capital of the UK. The city's Balti Triangle, centred around Ladypool Road in Sparkhill, has been serving some of the country's finest curries since the 1970s. But Birmingham's curry scene extends far beyond this famous strip — from the authentic Kashmiri cuisine of Alum Rock to the refined fine dining of Hagley Road.

Whether you're craving a classic balti, an elaborate Mughlai feast, or the fiery flavours of a Karahi, Birmingham has it all. We've ranked the city's best curry houses based on customer ratings, review quality, and our local knowledge. Every restaurant on this list has been verified on The Desi Directory with genuine reviews from real diners.

Prices in Birmingham are notably more affordable than London, with most main courses ranging from £8–15. Many restaurants are halal-certified, and most offer vegetarian options alongside their meat dishes.
