Al Frash Balti

Went to the Al Frash last week with a friend of mine and had a great meal. Had Aubergine pakora (sorry if spelling is wrong) for starters and fish masala for a main both were faultless, my buddy was impressed with what he had as well. Well worth a visit.

i visited al frash for my birthday party with a group of 9, as students we were welcomed well but the food service was a tad slow and the waiter became quite annoying at times, frequently asking if we wanted anything else. The food was served within around 40 mins of ordering which had seemed to fly by. All the meat dishes were very well cooked, spiced and served hot with each balti easily being split between 2 people. The bill came to a mere £90!! however the restaurant is not a 5* nor is it decorated at a high standard however for students , the food was good, the atmosphere was comfy and the evening had gone very well. overall i would say al-frash is good value for money, the place is often buzzing and the service is resonable

I have frequented the Al Frash Balti Restaurant for many years but now that they have refurbished it I don't think I will return. I found that the restaurant is now very stark in contract to the formerly very comfortable atmosphere. The starters are now presented on sizzling skillets which is very nice but I preferred the original cold, chipped plates and splash of salad. The food is pretty much the same but the service is overbearing with the staff asking us if everyhthing is ok every 5 minutes. The prices are inflated and when I suggested that I would share rice with my sister the waiter insisted that one plate between us would not be enough - that's ok for him to say but a very stingy plate of rice at the Al Frash is now £3.00! Al Frash means 'Butterfly'. There is ample space for some very nice art work to adorn the restaurant but no, the artwork is abstract with a dash of colour here and there. A missed opportunity if you ask me, the Al Frash could have adorned its walls with beautiful oils of butterflies. I found the whole experience of eating at the Al Frash a very intense with the waiter desperate for approval.

Every time I visit Birmingham, this is the place I head for. Food is well-cooked, well presented and so, so tasty. Good service, and the table nans are something else! Personal faves are the pakoras followed by Garlic Chicken. I unreservedly reccommend it.

I visited this restaurant with my husband and 2 children just before Christmas. the service was excellent and the food superb. On the whole, great value for money, and you can take your own drinks too!
