Royal Watan Kashmiri Restaurant - Birmingham Best Balti

Head down to Pershore Road in Edgbaston and you'll find Royal Watan doing what it does best: turning out authentic Kashmiri dishes that actually taste like someone knows what they're doing. This isn't the curry house trying to be trendy or watering things down for mass appeal. You're getting proper technique here—the kind of cooking that takes years to get right. The balti is their calling card and for good reason; it's a proper broth-based affair that lets the spices and meat speak for themselves. At these prices, you're getting serious value for something that tastes like it belongs in a proper dining room, not a high street formula.
