Dilshad Restaurant is an Indian restaurant and takeaway at 618–620 Bristol Road in Birmingham’s Selly Oak area. Its name translates as heart’s happiness, an idea the restaurant connects with welcoming service and the pleasure of sharing familiar, flavourful food.
The wide menu balances traditional curry house favourites with more individual house preparations. Guests can choose from balti, bhuna, jalfrezi, rogan and other curry styles, tailoring a meal around chicken, lamb, prawns, vegetables or paneer.
Tandoori cooking brings another dimension through marinated meats, kebabs and grilled dishes, while biryani combines aromatic rice with a chosen main ingredient. Poppadoms, rice, naan, vegetable sides and chutneys make it straightforward to assemble a varied table for sharing.
Collection and delivery are important parts of the service, but the Bristol Road premises also provides the setting for a sit-down Indian meal. Set meals suit groups, and diners with allergies should ask about dairy, gluten, nuts, mustard and shared preparation before choosing dishes.
Address: 618–620 Bristol Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham B29 6BQ, England
