    Travelled 12,000 miles from Australia to my hometown of brum in june and hit shababs up, sat right behind where they were sitting. Yeah different level of balti, proper old school, got 2 shababs balti bowls and I swear my own baltis are a different level since.

    I am an Expat from originally from Birmingham Shababs is the only place to get a proper original authentic Balti.. When I visit home this the place I have to head for... Every Balti lover should take the time to just go try this place trust me whether its 10 miles or in my case 4000 miles it's worth it... I speak from the Heart... Great job Zaf and his team

    I first tried the Shabab, as it was called then, back in the late 80's, when it was run by Zaff's brother, Matloob. A Pakistani friend of mine introduced me to the place, telling me I would not find the same taste and quality of flavour anywhere else. He was right. The restaurant was only a third of the size then, but I spent most of my weekends eating superb tasting baltis.
