Tipu Sultan Birmingham is a large Indian restaurant at 43 Alcester Road. Its ground floor dining room uses ornate ceilings, circular booths and rich decorative details to create a sense of occasion, while a first floor suite supports banquets and private gatherings. The venue welcomes couples, families, friends and business groups.
Chargrilled starters introduce the menu through marinated chops, chicken tikka, kebabs and fish pakora. Curries then range from creamy familiar favourites to deeper handi and karahi preparations, with lamb, chicken and seafood represented. Biryani, rice, freshly cooked breads and vegetable sides make it easy to build a substantial shared meal.
Vegetarian starters, curries and lentil dishes give meat free diners several complete choices. Individual preparations contain allergens such as dairy, gluten, mustard and nuts, so guests should use the current allergen information and speak with the team before ordering. Sharing platters are particularly useful for groups who want to sample several grilled items.
Desserts and a broad choice of cold and hot drinks provide a finish without changing the family friendly character of the restaurant. The scale of the dining room suits celebrations, but the menu also accommodates a straightforward lunch or dinner. Tipu Sultan combines familiar Indian restaurant dishes with a more dramatic setting and a strong emphasis on grilled meat and generous combinations.
