Kabul Darbar Alumrock Road — Restaurant in Birmingham

I can here with my husband for a quiet meal.

We ordered a family naan , lamb karahi half KG, one chapli kebab & bottled soft drink.

This cosy restaurant tucked away, is super family friendly.

If you haven’t been there before, it’s a must try!

The family area seating is small, & so are the womens toilet. Very boxy.

But tbh that doesn’t bother me, as I never use public toilets, I’m very fussy.

Only used this one to wash my hands before & after eating.

The service was very quick, polite & our food didn’t take long.

I would say between 15 - 25mins.

Our drinks came to us first.

We got served a light salad with 2 sauces, one mint sauce & chilli sauce.

We didn’t really notice how long it took for our food to arrive. But was relatively quick as we knew what we wanted as my husband has been here prior, so our choice of food was easy & simple.

The Chapli kebab is tender, not too spicy but it does have heat. I’ve been to other restaurants that serve Chapli kebab, this by far has to be the most tender of them all. Didn’t break into a hard chunk, the Kebab had all fresh ingredients, even after we packed our food. The food once reheated for left overs, still had the exact same taste & flavour as we had just brought it home from the restaurant.

The lamb karahi was filling & extremely tender, personally a bit spicy for me, but it tasted even better the next day. So the spice was worth it for me.

The family naan was huge, I didn’t expect it to be. But it was so soft & easily pulled apart to break.

Complimented the lamb karahi perfectly. We also packed this & the next day, reheating on a non stick pan, the naan did not flake or crumble. Tasted the exact same.

For a quiet restaurant, it was very very good.

Wholesome decor, simple menus not fuss nothing. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

One critique I would say, I would definitely ask for less spice. But that is because my spice tolerance is non existent. I personally cannot handle spices.

But good place to go, to have a chilled evening quick &...

I have visited this place for a dinner with my wife on 05th March 2024.

Staff: The waitress took our order which was: Single Kabuli Pulao (1 Person): £9.0 Chapal kabab (quantity 1): £4.50 1 Naan: (£1) Total: £14.50

But she served us a kabuli Pulao (2 persons): £14. Because they served us food on table, we didn’t cancel the order as a good gesture for the waitress. We niether complained nor returned the served order.

Payment Issue: After the initial wrong order served, they gave us an over-charged bill. Which made us realise that they intentially served the wrong order which was £5 expensive then single portion. Then, they asked us to pay £22 for an order of £19.50 (with 2 persons kabuli pulao). We have checked the bill and found two extra items added in it. So We asked them to correct it. They corrected it with no excuse at all and they asked the waitress to convey us that they are not accepting card payments. When I approached the counter, they asked me rudely to go and get cash from the ATM machine as they do not accept the card payments. However, when I told them that I have seen other people paying by card and why they are asking me to go and withdraw cash from the ATM machine which was quite far from their restaurant. After wasting our time and arguing with us, the man on the payment counter asked other person to take the payment via card machine and left the counter. We paid £19.50 for their own mistakes and faced such a rude and harassing behavior of the staff.

Cleanliness: Hygiene-wise, the restaurant is zero rated.

Suggestion: A worst place to visit in terms of Staff Behaviour, hygiene, and...

The restaurant gave us smelly food. We ordered a whole lamb, but instead, they served us a whole smelly sheep. The moment the dish arrived at our table, a foul odor wafted through the air, making our stomachs churn. Despite our hopes for a delicious meal, the food was tasteless and unappetizing. We tried to salvage the experience, but it quickly became clear that we couldn't eat any of it.

After a few attempts to choke down a bite, we reluctantly made the decision to throw all the food away. To add insult to injury, the bill came to a staggering £300. We felt cheated and frustrated, especially since our expectations had been set high for what was supposed to be a special meal.

When we approached the staff to express our disappointment, we were met with indifference. It was disheartening to think we had wasted our money and left the restaurant hungry.

Reflecting on the experience, I wouldn’t recommend the whole lamb from this restaurant to anyone. Some of my friends had food poisoning and they have missed flight to back-home. It was a complete disappointment, and I would advise others to think twice before spending their hard-earned...
