Try visiting the Moseley area next time you're in Birmingham.  In Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane and Stratford Road there are some 70 Indian Restaurants (they're called Balti Houses in Brum!) and most of them are open for business all day, 7 days a week.

Here is an informative link:

I like Indian Reastaurants and can recommend the 'Star of Saul' in Chesterfield as a superb example of this cuisine.

I presume that you mean the Star of Sall?  Excellent food, and just up the road (staggering distance) from the Derby Tup!!<g>

I have been visiting Birmingham once or twice a year for the last 16 years and every visit is marked by a trip to Ladypool Road.  For many years Imrans was the restaurant of choice, mainly because their starters are amazing and the food is incredibly cheap.  However it seems to have become a bit of a victim of its own success so a few years back we defected to the Kashmir Lake but that has since had a change of ownership.

I'm off to Brum again this weekend for a board games convention so me and about 200 others would be most interested to know what the cognoscenti think is the best Indian restaurant in the Ladypool Road area.
