Shabar is an Indian and balti restaurant at 4 Arden Oak Road in Sheldon, Birmingham. The dining room provides a warm, traditional setting for everyday dinners, family meals and larger occasions. Collection and delivery operate alongside seated service, giving local diners several ways to use the extensive menu.
Balti dishes are a central speciality, supported by familiar curry styles ranging from mild korma to hotter naga preparations. Tandoori chicken, lamb chops, tikka and mixed grills bring smoke and char, while house specialities layer meat, seafood or vegetables with carefully balanced spice. Rice, naan and other breads complete the main courses.
Fish and shellfish receive more attention than at many curry houses, with salmon, sea bass, king prawns and other seafood appearing among starters and mains. Vegetable pakora, samosa, paneer, balti and curry choices give vegetarian diners a substantial range. Guests with allergies should discuss current recipes with staff because dairy, nuts, gluten and shellfish appear across the menu.
Beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks support both quick meals and more leisurely group dinners. Private space and a broad menu make the restaurant practical for celebrations, while takeaway offers focus on the same main dishes. Shabar combines the direct pleasure of Birmingham balti with a wider tour of Indian grill, curry and seafood cooking.
