Marmaris Original Turkish Charcoal Grill

Head down Alcester Road South and you've found where King's Heath comes to eat properly cooked meat. Marmaris isn't trying to be clever—it's just consistently nailing the fundamentals: charcoal-grilled kebabs that actually taste like they've been over real heat, not some gas job pretending. The room's straightforward and unpretentious, which means you're sitting elbow-to-elbow with families, dates, mates on a Friday night, all equally keen on the lamb. Portions are honest, prices won't make you wince, and after 627 reviews sitting at 4.5 stars, you know the kitchen's not having an off day.
