Taste of Namak Mandi

Very rude owner, charged me 10 pound extra (only for 1kilo Karai and 1 portion kabab 3 seekh tika charged me £52???), He hired only one person to cover whole restaurant, even very badly treating his workers, very bad taste of karai, never ever visit again.

This is what you call authentic Afghan food. Beautiful tasty food with authentic touch of cooking skills.
Had a chance to visit this place with family. Amazing traditional decoration.
Parking space is available on the street, as it is on the main coventry road, near the small heath park.
Reception welcome is good by the owner himself, Who also comes to the table for taking orders, and recommending speciality of the restaurant. Farsi speaking families can speak in Farsi (Persian language) or Pakhtoon language and also can speak in Urdu and english ofcourse.
The waiter staff can be improved a bit, they seem less interactive with the customers. Order takes a bit time as the food is freshly prepared on order.
The place has raised stage like area for traditional floor seatings or table seats for people who feel uncomfortable sitting on the floor.
One thing I would say is, expect a lot of food smell to seep into your clothes, and you will stink of the food for few days, as it gets very smokey inside the restaurant.
Apart from the above, no other food in Birmingham can touch the authentic food they serve at this place. Pure food as it meant to be from the heart of Afghanistan and North Pakistan, Beautiful taste.
We ordered, Lamb Karahi, Chicken Karachi, Mixed grill kebabs and tikka and the big iconic Naan breads from Afghanistan, When I say Karahi, I mean Karahi as these are original karahi’s not like they serve in Kashmiri restaurant where they don’t even know what Karahi means. You get meat prepared by the kilos at this place. Yummy
My recommendation if %100 for everyone to try the authentic afghani food as it meant to be. You will surely end up licking your fingers to get the last bit of taste out of the food.
After the food, you should always try their traditional Tea, made with Cardamon seeds and lemon, very good to digest the food.
I will surely be visiting this place again and again and would recommend to all.
Enjoy the traditional of Pakhtoon cuisine.
