Initially I avoided Bilals as they had a poor food hygiene rating but they seem to have got this up to 4 stars. I have purchased Veg Pakora from here on a few occasions and they were lovely. Below you see photos of two Katlamas purchased on different occasions. They are the best I have personally tasted in Alum Rock. The pastry is nice, crisp, not too thick and the meat is flavoured with onions and spices with a little fresh chilli. Took me back to the 90s when I first had a Katlama from Mushtaqs.

Their sweets are also popular especially the white jalebi, gajar halwa and koya barfi.
They also do breakfast on weekends like halwa and channa Puri which is great.
More of a take away than dine in place. Busy times like Eid queues can quite often be seen going...
