Kings Indian Dining

A long-standing favourite in the heart of Kings Heath, Kings Indian Dining has built a loyal following for generous, freshly cooked North Indian cooking. Rated 4.3/5 by Google reviewers, it pairs an extensive menu of familiar classics with plenty of chef's specials you won't find everywhere, so regulars and first-timers alike tend to leave happy. The kitchen is praised for getting the balance of spice just right rather than chasing pure heat.

The standout is the much-loved Railway Curry, a fragrant, gently spiced dish that channels the old dining-car recipes of the subcontinent, but there is plenty more to explore, from rich house specials to lighter grilled starters. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for, with several dedicated options, and the relaxed, welcoming dining room suits everything from a quiet midweek meal to a bigger group gathering. Diners can bring their own drinks, making it a friendly, easy-going spot for an unfussy night out in this corner of south Birmingham.
