If you’re in Birmingham, something to tick off your bucket list is having a REAL BALTI EXPERIENCE, this experience you can only have at the Award winning Royal Watan Kashmiri Restaurant who have been established since 1984. We serve authentic Balti dishes and Large Family Naan beards in a modern and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Our Grandma’s recipe of Lassawalla Gosht has been featured on many mainstream media outlets and won many awards. We bring a true taste of Kashmir to all of our dishes and are rated as number one by many websites in our cuisine.

    The experience was fantastic. We booked in for my moms birthday and the owner and staff were brilliant with us. Got our food out really quickly and made for a really joyful experience. Would highly recommend! Best Balti in Birmingham

    Fabulous, reasonably priced vegetarian baltis here, as always. We loved the saag paneer and the spicy vegetable Balti. The ambience was reduced somewhat due to a water leak next to our table but the staff dealt with the slip hazard quickly.

    We’ve been using the Royal Watan since 1986 when I was working nearby. Ever since we have made every effort to eat the outstanding food at the Watan despite living the far side of Coventry and now down in West Sussex. On our last visit last week the food was exactly the same as the first time we went, absolutely gorgeous, in fact we ordered triple so we had extra to take home for the freezer. Keep up the good work guys, you are amazing!

    Fantastic food has always. Bit chaotic with service at times, food came out staggered and had to ask for the bill a few times. Was very busy though. Overall food is fantastic and staff always helpful and friendly.
