Visited Desi Karahi after reading a number of positive reviews and was really looking forward to enjoying some highly rated food. However, I left feeling extremely disappointed with the experience. Ordered Sheesh Kebab, Masala Fish (normal), fries and Lamb Biryani and Chicken Tikka Karahi (1kg). The fish appeared very soggy and sloppy (wet), the Sheesh were just okay and the fries were the only started that was true to taste. The lamb Biryani was just bland with undercooked fatty prices of lamb thrown ont top. Was hoping the Chicken Tikka Karahi would live up to expectations, however it was bland, tasteless and raw! Sorry I really felt really let down as I had hoped it would be much much better. The two stars are for the seating and service which were both good.

Second time we have dined here, absolutely amazing. The waiter Mak aka Khanshab was amazing, ready to help and giving excellent customer service. All enjoyed the food throughly and the 1kg lamb was made to melt in your mouth, cooked right by the best! All the food was really good, they have maintained the service!Definitely recommend again! 5 stars! (First Review) First time I've eaten from this Desi Karahi. Staff are friendly and ready to help. From the starters to the mains were amazing. Nice chicken sheeh kebabs and the lamb karahi was really good. The naans are huge compared to other places I've visited! Superb definitely go again.

I was brought here by some friends who strongly recommended it. Ordered chicken and lamb Karai and dhal, mango lassi with naan and roti. Had achar, some mint sauce and salad. Absolutely everything was incredibly tasty. Cant fault a thing, service was great. Chai at the end was exactly what we needed. I will also note a few of the previous 1 star reviews are fraudulent and from customers who brought in alcohol and then put up fake reviews with “Muslim names”. I have reported them, please report them too.

Desi Karahi, Alum Rock, Birmingham

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Desi Karahi in Alum Rock, Birmingham, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food at Desi Karahi is simply amazing, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds.

One dish that stood out was the Mixed Grill. It arrived at the table sizzling, and the aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. The combination of perfectly cooked meats, bursting with flavors and spices, was an absolute delight. I found myself thoroughly enjoying every bite and already looking forward to my next visit.

Another highlight was the Lamb Karahi. This dish truly captured the essence of traditional flavors, taking me on a culinary journey I won't soon forget. The tenderness of the lamb, paired with the robust and rich karahi sauce, created a harmonious blend that was both authentic and wonderful.

The service at Desi Karahi was top-notch. The waitstaff was not only professional but also incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Despite being a party of 12, they effortlessly accommodated us, making us feel welcome and attended to throughout the evening.

Even something as simple as a cup of tea was elevated to greatness at Desi Karahi. It was undoubtedly the best cup of tea I've had in a long time, perfectly brewed and served with care.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Desi Karahi highly enough. The food, from the sizzling Mixed Grill to the unforgettable Lamb Karahi, was exceptional. The service was fantastic, with attentive and friendly staff who made our dining experience truly memorable. Whether you're a fan of Pakistani cuisine or simply looking for an exquisite dining experience, Desi Karahi in Alum Rock, Birmingham, should be at the top of your list. I can't wait to return to this culinary...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at desi karahi, and I must say it was an extraordinary culinary experience that surpassed all my expectations. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by the elegant ambiance, attentive service, and, above all, the sensational flavors that graced my palate.

The restaurant's interior exudes a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, with its tasteful décor, warm lighting, and comfortable seating arrangements. The attention to detail is evident, as the space is thoughtfully designed to create a relaxed and intimate dining setting.

Visited Desi Karhai for what will definitely be the last time. From the get-go, the ambiance hits you with an unwelcome vibe, mirroring the demeanor of the bald Asian manager in his 40s, decked out in a light green-gray shirt, who evidently skipped the class on respect and decency. His stinginess with salads and sauces was as notable as it was disappointing, seemingly guarding them as if they were rare treasures. The place itself is far from clean, adding to an overall uncomfortable dining atmosphere.

The food, however, takes the cake for being notably subpar - dry, stale, and emitting an odor that should have been a warning sign. For those intrigued by the concept of food poisoning, this establishment might just fulfill that curiosity. My personal aftermath was an upset stomach that firmly stamped my decision to never return. The absolute lack of customer service skills only adds to the dismal experience, making dining here feel like an exercise in caution.

Having once been a regular, it's disheartening to witness such a precipitous drop in standards. Consider this a warning: if you value your dining experience and well-being, steer clear of Desi Karhai. This place has regrettably become synonymous with what to avoid at all costs...
