Basmati Restaurant is a Bangladeshi and Indian restaurant at 230 Birmingham Road in Great Barr. Established in 2002, it has developed as a neighbourhood venue where families, couples and groups can settle in for an evening meal in a warm, welcoming dining room.
The menu moves through traditional curries, balti dishes, biryani and tandoori cooking, with house specialities adding more individual combinations. Recipes draw on the layered spice and aromatic ingredients associated with Bangladesh and India, and dishes are prepared fresh to order.
Chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetable choices give diners plenty of ways to shape a meal. Rice, naan and smaller side dishes can be added for sharing, while the range of strengths and cooking styles allows guests to choose something mild and creamy or more robustly spiced.
Beer and other drinks accompany the food, and the restaurant also supports online ordering for meals enjoyed at home. Whether dining in or collecting a takeaway, Basmati offers an established local option for generous South Asian cooking throughout the week.
Address: 230 Birmingham Road, Great Barr, Birmingham B43 7AG, England
