We had a lovely meal and evening out with kids. Food was nicely prepared and the wait time wasn't to bad. We rated it 4 stars as we tried the same curries elsewhere and they were slightly better, but non the less the food was lovely. This place would be our second most fave place to eat at. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere was lovely and calm. Would eat out here again. Parking you can park opposite in the supermarket parking for 2hours max for free.
Decent old school cooked food done well. Probably one of only a few places that has authentic Pakistani dishes cooked well without the fanfare. Surroundings are warm and inviting, and the service is always good. You will know how good this place is when you see a busy restaurant almost every night of the week. We travel to eat here,
The best pakistani restaurant I've ever been to. Highly recommended it!
If you do decide to go there. Make sure you have the mango lassie.
We ordered mixed platter, chicken karahi and a portion of daal. Bar be que platter was good especially rice were delicious and full of flavour. For price we paid it was quite small platter.
Chicken karahi was nice plenty of gravey made the taste brilliant, probably it will taste further better if red chilli is not used but rather put black pepper or green chilli.
Yellow daal was good but garlic tarka was too strong, you can use Jeera for tarka aswell and avoid garlic smell.
Service was not organised, they were not very busy only half of the tables were occupied but staff was confused, requested additional roti and naan to 4 different waiters and finally got roti after making complaint to a guy seemed like manager, requested a bottle of drink same thing happened again.
A male waiter took our order had face shield on wasn't a happy man either, very serious when he took our order, overall staff didn't have courtesy or professionalism, food was decent but service need good training.
Ambience and sitting arrangement was good for groups and families, parking on the road is bit tricky and you're lucky if you found one.
Tasty food i had tried ever..staff is very cooperative and well trained …It has an nice ambiance…
Have been here a few times before. Every time we visit Birmingham from London, Lal Qela is must for us. Have never been disappointed. Service, quality and taste of food is always on point.
Today we were served by Jamil. Found him to be very helpful and served with a smile. I recommend everyone in Birmingham to come and try it out!
Beautiful and great atmosphere.
Lovely food and drinks. I travelled from London to check it out and they did not disappoint.
One to one personal service with a smile.
Keep up the good work. Well done
One of the few places left that does traditional authentic curry. Only letdown is the price. Great food and service is top notch. Plenty of seating available and is family friendly.
Amazing service, very attentive staff.. customers service was on point. The ambience of the place was warm wellcoming and in gulidlines of covid excellently spaced out, children friendly and staff paid attention to kids needs to. The main part,'the food' was cooked and served well, seasoned well.Nothing precooked all made in an open kitchen... lal Qela has a wide range of variety of food to choose from including dessert, which is a plus with children and finishing of with a desi tea is a must.
Lovely food, naan, biryani, lamb and chicken curry were really tasty and spicy.
Spacious restaurant with a variety of dishes and desserts. Lovely decor, seating and atmosphere. Families dine here, food is served quiet swiftly, staff are very nice, it's clean and totally recommended.
