In Cardiff I suppose we have city road , Albany Road, Crwys Road area but thats it really
Cardiff now has some really good Indian restaurants but nowhere that does balti like Birmingham. I’ve eaten balti in Bradford and Leeds but it just doesn’t capture the Birmingham experience somehow. When I lived near Birmingham it was quite common to get a taxi to Ladypool Road at 2am and go for a balti until 3-4am. This was back in the 90s. I went to Shabab’s about 5 years ago with old colleagues and we were there until after 1am when people were still arriving!
