They deliberately omitted the fact that most of the Balti restaurants affected are in Birmingham's clean air zone.
😂😂😂
And everyones skint!
The Balti Triangle isn't in the CAZ though.
Mate that's not even true. The CAZ is essentially a ring around central Brum. Balti Triangle is in the Sparkbrook area. I believe Shababs is on Ladypool Road.
Lol, no it's not. The main reason it's closed, cuz the young people who mainly visit the area don't want food that they can eat at home.
Thing is, Curry is a popular dish with the native white British.
Very few such people live or work in Birmingham nowadays.
Nonsense
Where on earth did you get that thought from? Have you ever been to Birmingham?
Even if that was true are you trying to say the asian community that does live there isn’t eating it ? Its their cuisine
With only 4 left surely it must be now known as the square?
This is genuinely funny 😂🤣👌
Didn’t see many complain about the native population being displaced by the Balti Triangle in the 70’s.
Does the disappearance really matter?
Meh, Birmingham is a totally foreign city now. No wonder these people are leaving.
No it isn't, but someone like you saying that dosent surprise me. Your type always have your little engalnd union jack in your front garden. You lot are all the same.
Your are a nuanced racist with little to no calibre. And very little upstairs eh.
Birmingham's Turkish Barber Triangle is thriving
@@stephfoxwell4620 yes, money laundering.
You are the second person on this feed to mention this. You sound as daft as that American politician who said that there are few White people in the city. You're all mad.
@@RichardEnglanderexactly, surely when starting a new buisness you look at your surroundings and see if thats what an area might be missing, if there are 3 there already it isnt a great buisness move unless its for something else altogether like you say , also food places and nails , high streets now have nothing else than these shops
“I like Curry, but now we’ve got the recipe is there really any need for them to stay?”
Yes. They are not leaving till empire retur s their money. 😂
Tory Party Conference, Not the Nine O' Clock News, right?
Immigrants have been out-immigranted, hence the demise.
Funny.
Eventually even the new cheaper paid will have no work. All businesses are going bust.
😮
I can imagine this is due to the decline of the White British population in the area.
Correct Stacy.
You are getting better.
@@stephfoxwell4620 😀😀 Cheers Steph
Might well be true. I used to live in the area (Sparkhill), most white people moved out and Asians moved in. They are hardly going buy an expensive Balti or other curry when they can cook at least as well, if not better, themselves. I expect now these restaurants rely much more than they used to on the tourists, rather than the locals. Hence the drop in custom and revenue.
Get it down to three and its a triangle again.
Birminghamistan.
Pretty sure anyone can make a curry.
Another great British tradition goes down the pan. Balti is our strength.
😂
As they say "you cant polish a turd".
British tradition 🤣🤣🤣🤣just like British museum
Birmingham-Stan
Because everyone knows they spit in your food and worse
What the hell you talking about 🤦😂 no they don't. That's literally the fast food places where people are paid minimum wage to serve food they don't care about. My local Indian restaurant even cooks the food in direct view of the restaurant. Literally everyone can see the entire process.
@@lukemurray4950maybe they do it while making the dough.
It is customary in islamic traditions to spit on food while cooking to ward away evil spirits.
@@kth6736 that is complete BS. What are you on??
@@kth6736 You do get nearly all Indians in UK are not Muslim right? Of course not! 🤦 They probably hate Muslims more than you do 😂
My question is how did survey everyone 😅
Terrible muck food, good riddance.
Terrible muck food? What does that even mean? Indian food is the best food in the country! British Indian food has become a staple world wide to the point they opened a fancy upscale restaurant in New York City called "Brick lane" 😂🤣😂
If you don't get it Brick Lane is a road in East London that has a load of Indian restaurants but it's just a working class neighborhood. But the food has become so famous they name fancy restaurants on the other side of the world after it 🤣☠️
@@lukemurray4950 You like it, I don't. It's muck to me. Making your point repeatedly in comments won't change my mind. Jog on.
@@JayTemplar When did I make my point repeatedly? I made it once just like you... Then you clearly become offended. Maybe you should try it. It's literally a national staple and you want to disrespect it. So no mate you jog on!
@@lukemurray4950 Thank you for proving me correct by replying. So predictable.
Curries been in UK since 1750s
No English, no Customers simple.
Went down the pan over twenty years ago, the last time I did go which was also over twenty years ago a young lad who had stepped outside of restaurant for a cigarette with his parents inside was punched in the face for refusing a “local“ a cigarette, after bein hit he was told to get out of “my” area, haven’t been around that culturally enriched dump since.
@@laurenceBDontYaNo not saying it does. What’s your point? No sill y emoji’s necessary.
Yeah we keep moving but soon there will be nowhere left to move to because they are in every village now.The middle class will move to a second home abroad but poor people like the children over decades are ignored
@@janeburke147The rich are going to Africa.
@@cocos8903 They go to Spain,France anywhere they fancy because they got money
@@laurenceBDontYaNo Immigrants
By the way forgot to mention that it only takes one person to cook it and not 600,000 immigrants that entered the UK last year... 😁😁😁😁😁😁ZERO immigration please...
Who cares? Go to Alum Rock Rd, Coventry Road, Stratford Road, Ladypool Rd for all sorts of curries.
There is no need to criticise food,the issues should be legal employment and adherence to hygiene.
Ladypool Road is not what is used to be .
I don't get it. Why are the restaurants closing?? They didnt really explain? And did he really say people want something different than at home and rgats why he wanted the Balti so is he saying that all the youngsters want burgers and deserts because they get Balti at home? I don't get it.
They started having to pay rent and rates.
Plus the Home office keep removing the chefs as illegal immigrants.
Because they became copycat restaurants that jumped on the bandwagon serving dreadful food.
Ppl, balti is the same as karahi... You will find it in every indian pakistani restaurant...
Maybe just slightly different flavours.... They just cashed in by rebranding it... 😂
Bottom line... All Asians always have karahi... (balti)
I'd rather have a Balti than a burger, but with so many Asian immigrants in that city, who do not go out to buy Indian-style dishes they know how to produce at home, that demise is probably inevitable.
Indians been living in UK since 18th-19th centuries.
And now we get the Cowboys too.
@@run2cat4run Fact check: True. What were their numbers back then, do you have statistics?
@@run2cat4run Yeah, all 7 of them.
@@marielaveau8761 can’t find the figures but from what i read Indians work for the East India Company and the Indians marry British women too.
Shababs make the best Balti ever. Michelin standard at spoons prices!
Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.
Good , the cat population of Birmingham will be grateful
No that's Chinese takeaway allegedly.
@@professormcclaine5738 no....its also gunga dins
The rabbits of Worcestershire
I love Indian food. At least these immigrants work unlike the lazy ones who live on benefits.
Good, endless dirty curry shops isn't a benefit.
A proper range food from across the globe is, but they don't want that, just more submission.
Imagine interviewing someone about a shop when he is wearing his uniform with said shop name printed on it.
And then your captions have typos...
GbFARAGEnews hey lollolololol
Hygiene Ratings?
Come to Birmingham & you will see what a lie that is
Never mind. Gammons can open various turnip based restaurants in their place. Another Brexit benefit 🥳
Rather a gammon than a smelly bongo
I'm thinking of opening a cafe specialising in kidneys, tripe, black pudding, liver, haggis,chitterlings, tongue etc.
I will call it Offally Nice.
Go live in brussels if you don't like it
@@stephfoxwell4620 🤢🤮
@@nathanfurnival8724 Let me guess, you're a bit dim and struggle with basic spelling and grammar.....?
Make your own curry from scratch. You will see the difference from the rubbish served in curry houses.
I love a good curry! Become such a great part of British culture.
Birmingham has very little British culture.
It is 70% BAME.
The balti restaurants have been replaced by Desi pubs. Usually old run down pubs taken over, refurbished and serving great mixed grills as well as the traditional balti.
And Bovril.
Yea birmingham is now full of afghan asylums in every corner thanks to sunak plus uk is finish imagine not one muslim country want to accept afghan but uk love them so good luck
