Al-Turka Grills

Head down to Balsall Heath and you'll find Al-Turka Grills doing exactly what it says on the tin—grilled meat, done right. The kind of place where they're not trying to be clever about it; they're just focused on sourcing decent cuts and cooking them over charcoal the way it's meant to be done. You'll walk in and immediately clock the open kitchen, the smoke, the smell of sizzling lamb and chicken. It's properly busy most nights, filled with locals who know their way around a good kebab. The ratings speak for themselves—4.7 out of 5 from proper reviews, not bots. Stoney Lane's had a real food renaissance over the last few years, and Al-Turka's right in the middle of that conversation.
