Lahore Grilled Chicken & Pizza — Restaurant in Birmingham

This hidden gem was an accidentle find whilst we were walking round Alamrock Road. The outside of the premises had a street vendor operating there selling Chaats and the armour coming from the charcoal grill behind the vendor, inside the shop was so nice that we decided to give this a go as it had the feel of an authentic street food type place and we were not disappointed! The seating areas were at the back and the food prep area were at the front which meant that the customers were shielded fro the hustle and bustle on the busy street outside. We ordered a pizza for the kids, shami kebab, samosa chaat and then 1/2 kg lamb karai which came with 4 rotis and a huge plate of halva. We also got 5 drinks to accompany the meals. The food was served in no time except the curry which took a bit longer. I was impressed with the potion size of all the food. The large pizza was just fine, certainly value for money at £5. The chips were fresh and crispy and cooked well, just how we like them. The samosa chaat was OK and just lacked that bit of panache which would have given it the wow factor but as it happens it was OK and perfectly edible. I was impressed with the lamb kharai which was served on the bone and packed a lot of flavour in there. The portion size was reasonable and the rotis were authentic. The food was accompanied by fresh salad and chutney which was a nice touch given that it was almost a fast and furious service. The halva .... that was just amazing and hit the spot! Overall the food offered a real taste of authentic dining which was offered in similar environments to those we would likely experience in a budget dinner back home which was served by honest hard working staff. The total cost of the mean came to £35.60 for 5 of us which I thought was a bargain. I'd recommend this place if your happy to enjoy it for what it is and give food the overaching importance over...

Disgusting hygiene practices!

Visited: Mon 20-11-17 at 23.45. Ordered Chicken Sheek Kebab Wrap.

After visiting my ill mom and having had an extremely exhaustive day and not eaten due to being ill the previous day, I was starving. So, detoured on way back home to Sutton through Alum Rock.

I entered this establishment and ordered the above wrap. The little greasy looking chap behind the counter placed my kebabs on the tandoor to cook and then continued to prepare and pack another customers order for collection. At this point there were no customers in the shop except me. Whilst the kebabs were cooking I decided to walk outside of the shop for fresh air. The chap inside who had taken my order could not see me, but, I could clearly see him. Remember its dark and about midnight. I was horrified to see what took place next. The chap rubbed his hands on his thighs and commenced to use his fingers and dig into a cake/gateau, and slipped his fingers into his mouth. Then he rubbed his hand on his filthy trousers. A short moment later he picked his nose and tweaked at some loose awry moustache hair and then........wait for it.......then with his same bare hand grabbed some salad in his fist and placed it in a takeaway tray with fries, and continued to wrap it up. Remember, this is someone's order for collection.

Whoever's order it is will have the pleasure of tasting this mans mouth bacteria and nasal/moustache hair follicles. And, supposing his ill aswel??????

You can imagine my response.

I am losing faith in eating out...

This is a review from my experiences of collection orders only. I think its unfair people to review their just East orders on here, there is an app for that .

Your bog standard pizzas here, nothing really good, nothing really bad.

Kebabs. This place could also have the best donner kebabs and chicken kebabs on alum rock Road but for a few reasons. The main reason is not slicing the meat fresh off the machine fresh to order. Kebab pot warmers are a massive mistake in the industry, the meat is steamed causing a lot of flavour loss to the meat, which also dries out. The chicken kebab here is probably the best on Alum Rock but yet again, let down by being served out of a warming pot onto a flatop grill and then over grilled causing the meat to go dry and hard.

They are now letting the kebab meat go cold in the pots and not even keeping it warm... Resulting in horrible donner meat.

SLICE YOUR KEBAB MEAT TO ORDER! - IT TASTE SO MUCH BETTER!

The chicken sheesh here is on point, very good kebabs, sometimes can be overcooked but mostly always good.

Southern fried chicken isn't great and it is heated up in the microwave which ruins it straight away!, heat lamps only please.

Very average food, a tad overpriced... Not great food....
