Taste of Pakistan in Birmingham

GAVE 3 PEOPLE FOOD POISONING AND GOT ORDER WRONG. We went in and each got a meat samosa. I asked the man at the counter if it was fresh and he said yeah. After I paid, he put the samosa in the microwave and handed it to me. I picked it up and it fell apart in my hands then I took a bite and it wasn't even a meat samosa, it was veg. This was the same for all 3 of us. We walked out and after about an hour all began to feel a bit sick. The next day I woke up with stomach cramps, feeling like I'm going to vomit and diarrhea. I asked my 2 other friends and they said they felt the exact same way. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Excellent desi sweets. We ate falooda and it was great. Some nice PAK truck art in and around the shop.

This is the first place I had my breakfast when I landed in the United Kingdom This place is very near to my heart , they have everything tasty I love chana ,paratha , kulcha

Visited Taste of Pakistan on Sunday as we were in thr city of Birmingham shopping. Thought of having Desi Breakfast as the place looked good for Desi Breakfast. Went to order 3 Desi Chai one without sugar, the staff said we don't make sugar free Desi Chai only English Chai is sugar free! Told him I am asking for sugar free Desi Chai and they are a breakfast place its not that i was asking him to serve me Truffles from Jamaica! They said we cannot make just for one person ! Told them sure there is more than 1 person on Ladpool Road who is a diabetic and would like sugar free Desi Chai. But no they were not going to make it. So we left and they lost a customer.

Months back falooda used to be on point. We would usually take home, place in fridge, it would be fine. This time it tasted a little off and the kulfi was filled with iced water. It tasted off, we could not eat. Phoned to complain that it’s not edible, and they took no ownership for it. Waste of money and will not be ordering from there again.

Nice place needs some changes about sitting is not comfortable…..

Great place to go if you want to taste desi pakistani food

Definitely not taste of Pakistan. Few years before it was best haleem point but now waste of time and money. Please don't go for pakistani patterns. Shaami kebab became powder after 1 touch. Haleem was not able to eat, so tasteless. Chana saalan was also tasteless. They don't know how to cook. There chef is changed or something happened. Very disappointed. Service rubbish. You have to order and pay downstairs then go upstairs for eat tastless food. No staff available for order or extra naan need. Infect nobody for look after you. Too much noisy and over seated. Avoid.

Nice Desi breakfast. Good be better if staff would wear uniform to make it more customer service

We had Halwa Puri with Chanay here. The taste was geniune, I would highly recommend it. It was a bit cold inside. They should do something to make it cozy.

Everything is great but cake rusk 👏👏

Ordered Nihari with Naan and samosa chaat. Food was served quickly. The chaat was good but I would've liked it more chilli. The nihari only had 3 pieces of meat in it and one of them was just bone so it would've been nice to have more meat and less bone. Other than that it was nice but again could've been more spicy. The Naan was nice and fully and soft. The prices were very good and more reasonable compared to other places. The decor was nice but probably a bit much going on and the chairs were fancy but a little uncomfortable to sit on. I would come back

One of the best Asian restaurants in Birmingham, excellent food quality and best service. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. Were received very warmly. I can only recommend it ☺️

Food was yummy and nehari we enjoyed it so much...just abit packed out upstairs..tables r abit too close to each other..and need abit more cleaning dusting etc but food was very good

Worst customer service ever ,rubbish food and bit expensive as compared to other pakistani restaurants. But the person in counter need more training like how to treat and deal with customers..horrible taste🤮 🤮

Not worth it tooo much expensive large paya portion which is £12 hardly no paya .

Excellent Falooda. Highly recommended. Havent tried other food items yet.

Hello everyone it was my worst experience in my whole life I never been tried before that such a bad type of breakfast .The taste of food was too greasy it means they are using old or recycled oils. Apart from that I bought ice cream for my kid it was so bad in taste as well . Halwa puri and parathas were full of oils and greasy they were worst in taste. I personally not recommend for everyone to go there. Even in this price you could find another best option too. They served the tea it was bad in taste and colour it was seems like burn engine oil. Sweets apparently look old .

Good breakfast food on the weekend.

Had lovely desi food here! Good ambience Ordered lamb nihari and chicken korma with naan, taste was amazing. 5/5 Their chicken pulav was also nice. 4/5 Loved their mango lassi and falooda! 5/5 Halwa puri was 4/5 Must visit :))

The food is delicious with very economical prices. The atmosphere of truck style and the shayari written gives different look and makes a good impact. Felt like having food in pakistan. Really liked the idea. A must place to visit to try the food...

Staff is inexperienced and food was just average . Please don’t waste your money and time to go there …

I just bought paya curry. The flavor was good, but I suddenly noticed that the curry is full of hairs. The paya wasn’t cleaned properly.

Food was great. We had the traditional Pakistani breakfast, but as it was during the week, not the weekend they did not do the Puri. So we had Rogri Nan instead. Katlama, chana, and Pakistani chai. 👍 👌

Taste of Pakistan on Ladypool Road is a gem for anyone craving authentic, hearty Pakistani cuisine. The flavors here are rich and traditional, with dishes that taste like they’re straight from a Pakistani home kitchen. Their lamb karahi is especially good – the meat is tender, cooked in a sauce with just the right amount of spice and depth. Paired with freshly baked naan, it’s a comfort food experience that’s hard to beat. The chicken biryani is also flavorful, with aromatic rice and a nice blend of spices that aren’t too overpowering. The setting is modest but cozy, and the service is efficient and friendly. The staff are attentive and make sure you have everything you need without being intrusive. If you’re looking for an authentic Pakistani dining experience in Birmingham, Taste of Pakistan is worth a visit!

First day I had their chicken pilau rice was really nice I think it was fresh. Today I bought again, smell coming out like yesterday leftover really bad smell. Please sort this out guys. Thanks

Good Pakistani food and family environment

Great halwa puri breakfast and chai. Really good vegetable pakoras. Parking is hard to get on the street, very busy area, but there's a car park right in front, and one down the road.

A pure taste of Pakistan. My Favourite is flooda if weather is hot and Kulfi taste exactly like in pakistan. Breakfast is lovel, tried few items from menu and couldn't fault at all. Fuel up yourself before you start your day with their Breakfast.

Have tried everything from here from the breakfast to the sweet dishes to tea and I can definitely say they serve amazing food and top quality for sure

This place has lots of lovely sweet and savoury snacks as well as meals

Not as good as it used to be. Recently tried the nihari was full of spice and the meat was very hard. Also tried the new cheesecake tbey had on menu, it was mouldy! Would not recommend now

Desi style Good and tasty food

Thanks for serving good food. Enjoyed the food. Very cooperative staff. Place to prayer also. Unfortunately this only thing I didn't lke is music what's the point to have music when you have already gr8 food. Taste of Pakistan u don't need music. Don't worry Allah will bring barakah in your business.

Amazing traditional food! You can have breakfast, Lunch and dinner here. A must visit!

Excellent breakfast channa, puri, halwa and tea perfect.

Lovely little cafe style restaurant. The food speaks for itself. 10/10

Meat was hard looked like it’s mutton not lamb, some naans were undercooked and some over cooked, halwa was nice, overall not satisfied.

We stopped to have some desi halwa puri with channa and ended up with a bad tummy. I would avoid i have never had the worse food poisoning in my life. My tummy was crying with sickness 😷

Amazing little shop. Their falooda is one of the best and we specifically go here just for that.

We have dinner last night at the restaurant and having the symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea. Surely something wrong with the food.

The place has an amazing ambiance, the Pakistan cultural style. The beautiful truck art and the decor is just wow and humble. All of their food was very nice and fresh. Kulfi is just pure fantastic. Falooda is superb too. Tried their gulab jamun as well and it was lovely. They also have paan. This place is a must to visit when you are in Birmingham. It was recommended by a friend and our experience was great. I would definitely recommend this place. It will be my must to visit whenever I am in Birmingham

Food taste was not as good as expected.

Nihari is a bit expensive. 12£ . The meat quality was not good.

Very Good… most things taste very authentic… we tried, Halwa, cholay, pai, Nihari, Haleem, Desi tea, kulcha naan, purée, All very very good. God bless.

Don’t think it’s same as London one. It’s totally different but their sitting atmosphere is good. Food was Okayish.

Pakistaní Dulce y salado! Falooda 7 . 5 / 10 , Dulces 8 / 10 , Ambiente 8 . 5 / 10 , Servicio 9 / 10 . Precio razonable y abierto hasta tarde.

Heard a lot about this place was very disappointed, to start with this place is not very baby friendly unable to tale pushchair upstairs, they provide high chair which does not have a working strap so baby can either fall out or move out, the upstairs is so squashed it's very difficult to move around. The naan we have thing it was called kulchan or something was absolutely delicious, the tea was average the channa was ok, the prata was hard and thin 0ur home made ones are much better, overall poor experience won't be going there again, oh they do take card and the halwa was ok too.

Amazing place for a good tasty Desi breakfast.

I have tried food from this shop few times. Some of them are tastier and some are average taste, bit spicy. Chicken Pastry = 5 stars Chana = 4 stars Puri, Halwa = 3 stars Kachori = 2 stars Katlama = 3 stars

The place looks lovely from outside, plenty of variety and selection to choose from, however, we had ordered a lot and picked up some extras while we were there. We did not enjoy the food we ordered, which was a lamb 1kg handi, seek kebabs, chapli kebabs. The kulcha naans and the chicken pakore were nice but nothing to rave about. I do wish they would taste what they are cooking, a bit of flavour would have been appreciated. For the price we paid, it was not worth it.

Egg was tasteless Biryani was 5 days old All food is microwaved

Pulao and Kulfi are amazing. The plus point is Panjeeri.

Pls do not spend money on ice cream waste of money

I always co.e here for the desi falooda. It's truly amazing. I'm not sure about the rest of the food. I guess you will have to come and check it out . Parking, available across the road, and it's free. I would definitely recommend popping down to try out the falooda at least.

Travelled all the way from London what a waste food was absolutely shocking paratha was so thick halwa tasted disgusting lasi was just pure yoghurt Im absolutely shocked and will never go bk there emty shop no wonder plz don't waste your money or time plenty other shops which taste alot better. Never will i go bk there.

Great customer service and food

I had falooda here the other day but the rubry milk in it was too much sweet. Apart from that atmosphere was good they built it and wrote the poetry like pakistani style awesome.

Very authentic pakistani sweet and snack shop with food items like biryani, etc, as a bonus. Feels like you're inside some Ahmed sweets type shop in pakistan. Crazy variety of mithais.

The turck art is beautiful. Very British Pakistani vibes. Qeema was great. I loved all their rotis. Don’t miss this gem because of bad reviews, try for yourselves first. The table chair layout is a bit tight however + the toilet could be alot nicer.

They have nice desi Pakistani style food. I love interior decoration of restaurant.

Service bit slow forgot my oder twice

Went down from Blackburn and gotta say it was brilliant, the halwa puri was so nice especially the halwa it was so delicious The Lahori falooda was very nice too Just like you get in Lahore The service was good and brother danial Defo worth trying

Good food. Very busy. No parking. Parking on the main road.

We ordered nashta meal. That contains channa, halwa, puri and tea. The food was of terrible quality. No seasoning in channa and halwa. The chai was awful too. The puri was good but overall a waste of money. Very bland food. Would not go there again sadly.

Good food. Taste was good and quality too. The tea needs improvement. Overall a big thumbs up.

Honestly I will never believe online reviews anymore i gave this restaurant a try and that was the perfect thing i did the food was so nice and fresh and the place was very crowdy i was shocked that if the food isnt good why people are waiting in ques😂😂 these pictures are from 2nd time i went

A great start to the day. Super breakfast to choose from. Fast service. But still delicious.

I had desi breakfast over the weekend chana and puri too oily chana no taste no sauce just raw chickpeas from pot puri too oily my hands cover in it tea was okay shame I was looking forward my traditional desi breakfast had food in past no problem samosa sweet etc another over hype up ladypool road busy not that good sorry to say its was just to awful to eat desi dessert traditional sweet were nice but still can be hit and miss latest update chana was very bland no spices paratha was okay used very good Pakistan restaurant standards have drop big time my latest visit boy big mistake again very poor standard chana tasted like came out curry chicken peas tin no flavour to it tea no taste to it drink boiled water definitely not desi chai brother been game 2012 used to be good breakfast not anymore time to find another Pakistani desi breakfast places eating area need to be clean table was dirty big time let down need good breakfast to get me going on busy day no offence what waste of time

Normally would give a 5 star for food, the last visit I was abit disappointed. But normally the food is great

Unfortunately very disappointed after years of coming here from afar. Have been robbed in broad daylight. Menu online says a different price and the price charged is different. I mentioned last time falooda had too much noodle in it instead of rectifying that mistake they overcharged me . Tried to sort this with manager who was argumentative. What a shame

The lacha parathas are exceptional to say the least. The atmosphere gives a clear Pakistani vibe and the authentic interior reminds you of traditional elements from back home. The halwa puris are also absolutely great and just like any best of the best from Pakistan.

This was an amazing experience, their paratah are crispy and crunchy and the deep fried egg was just right for me, lassi and halwa had good taste

The Taste of Pakistan Hotel in Birmingham offers a flavorful journey through Pakistani cuisine. The Sindhi Biryani tantalizes with its aromatic blend of spices, while the Kashmiri Pink Tea provides a soothing accompaniment. The Lamb Karahi bursts with tender meat cooked to perfection, complemented by the Chicken Karahi, though slightly average in comparison. The roti served adds an authentic touch to the meal. At £40, the bill reflects reasonable pricing for the variety offered. Ending on a sweet note, the Rasmalai stands out as a delightful treat. Overall, a satisfying culinary experience with room for improvement in certain dishes.

Even one star is more than the quality of food served. I went there with 3 friends, had naan paratha and channy. All of us are having severe gastritis now with bad abdominal pain nausea and vomiting. Not recommended at all.

Worst food I ever had. I had food poisoning. Not recommended

Very Bad taste of Chana,that completely disgusting taste Puri was ok And I paid £9 for Paya but wasn’t couplet full Paya I’ll never come back in this place again

I took a chance on this place despite the low Google review rating. I'm glad I did. Desi breakfast was served up quickly, with great taste and service.

I wish I could give a zero 🌟 waste of money , not recommended worst experience 😕

I can’t find anything good about this place.

Excilent food , uts my second time but really love all dishes and would like to recomend and wish to go there again and agian

I recently tried some sweets from this place, and I have to say, they were absolutely delicious! I'm not usually a big fan of sweets, but these really won me over. Even though I don't know the name of the sweets in Urdu, I still enjoyed them a lot. I would definitely try them again and recommend them to anyone who loves sweets.

Nice pakistani breakfast with a pakistani vibe... its nice overall

Very busy for breakfast and order was wrong twice, gave up in the end and had what we were given. No told about self catering for tea, so had to go back downstairs and rejoin the queue. The only thing positive was the chickpeas & naans/puris. Hence the 3 stars just for food

Excellent food nd good price nd very friendly staff

I've tried all the restaurants in Ladypool Road (for breakfast). By far, this restaurant hits the spot. Reasonably priced also.

Visited birmingham first time and this was the first place i went to. Ordered nihari with kulcha naan and chana paratha. Nihari stole the show! My mum and dad are quite choosy in-terms of food but she loved nihari so much! Channay was average, could be a bit better taste wise. Paratha was too crispy and just the way i like it. Chaye needs to be bit less sweet though, I didnt know they serve it sweet otherwise would’ve asked them to give unsweetened one. Will definitely go again.

I bought today Roghni nans really nice and thanks staffs and owner is well for given us Pakistan food taste in uk 🇵🇰❤️🇬🇧

We picked up food to open iftaari. Food was lovely, chappli kebab was really amazing. Hubby says katalama needed more chilli..it was fine for me 😀

Always complaint about the food. Quality and quality only please. If owners are reading it, due to good competition around please improve it. Thanks

My experience at Taste of Pakistan in Birmingham was disappointing. The atmosphere lacked warmth, the food was bland and lacking authenticity, and the service was subpar. Overall, I cannot recommend this establishment.

Taste and service is good but there are few things that let us not to buy again from here. 1. If you won’t notice, they will give old food 2. Paya has hair in it twice same experience Advice. 1. Be honest and serve the product which is shown 2. Please serve clean food

Tried the chicken salan and the chicken biryani and samosa. All average, could be better! Decors cute though

Rabri in qulfi falooda was amazing Jalebi was stale Will try a few more things next time

I tried Halwa Puri, Nihari, and samosa chat.

This place has always been serving a great taste and excellent customer service 👌 highly recomend

Food was not good if you are looking for that actual Pakistani taste you won’t get it there.

Had the breakfast special, halwa+channa+ purri (which comes with 3No purri's). Also had omellete with paratha. both come with Tea and it eas absolutely amazing. Definitely will go again, food was super tasty and came quick too.

I've been here a few times and brought a friend from London here who was visiting who absolutely loved it. We got food to share, parathas, halwa puri, cholay, paaye, and tea. Paratha was lovely and flaky, I don't think they use oil to cook it, maybe ghee/butter, but tastes nice. Puri were lovely and crispy, not oil and floppy, as you can get from some places. Loved the halwa not overly sweet, cholay were ok. Paaye were cooked really nice they came off the bone easily. Overall nice, the deco is nice proper Pakistani style painting on walls like you would get on their lorries and trucks. Seating is real Pakistani style. They have a place to pray too. We also bought some Alsi ke panjeeri, gajarela. There is plenty of methai and different types of panjeeri to choose from, curries and snacks.
