Tikka Meala

Birmingham locals have quietly made Tikka Meala their go-to for proper curry house cooking, and it's not hard to see why. This spot holds a perfect reputation among its regulars, who keep coming back for the kind of richly spiced, deeply flavoured dishes that feel like a trip to your favourite Indian restaurant, only without the fuss. The kitchen clearly understands that great curry is about layering spices with care — nothing rushed, nothing slapped together.

You'll find all the classics done right here: a silky, aromatic chicken tikka masala that's all about that creamy tomato base, or a lamb rogan josh that lets the slow-cooked meat do the talking. The biryanis arrive fragrant and properly steamed, each grain separate and infused with saffron. Whether you're feeding a crowd with a mixed grill or just craving a comforting korma, Tikka Meala delivers the kind of satisfying, honest cooking that makes ordering in feel like a treat. Available across Birmingham for delivery direct from their kitchen.
