Wonderful experience at the Royal Watan yesterday evening.
The food is so good, of great quality, well prepared, served with care. Portions are generous and the price is fair.
And the kindness of the owners and all the staff, unforgettable❣️
I liked the decoration and the seating is very comfortable.
Just wished I lived closeby to come more often but next time I come to Birmingham, I will visit them again and very looking forward to it.
Thank you for this lovely evening. 💗

Had a great meal here, food was delicious, service was good, the naan bread was really tasty and loved the novelty of it being one giant naan for all 5 of us to share! The cost was also really reasonable considering 5 of us ate here, less than £100 for the total bill.
Would definitely go again!

Had my brothers birthday meal here. The food, atmosphere and service was just 10/10. A big thanks to the manager and waiters, their hospitality was amazing, felt extremely comfortable and welcome. We ordered the mix grills- the meat was fresh and very nicely spiced. We also ordered the lamb tava and chicken karahi which was very tasty. Also a must try is the lassi ka saag which is new on the menu. The food matched that of authentic homemade south asian dishes! After a long while I have been to a restaurant and throughly enjoyed a meal. It’s a must go for anyone in Birmingham!!!

Did some research as we don't have any Balti Houses where we live. Went to Shebabs last year so disappointed. Looked up the Royal Watan and read all he reviews. We were not disappointed. The food wad excellent , couldn't fault a thing. Well worth the ztrain and bus journey. Definitely going back.

Tried this place for the first time in August 2023. Food, service, hygiene is all very good. The dishes are a bit small but taste very nice. Tried chicken Karahi, lamb Karahi and dhaal. Good service. Suitable for families and children. Great service and hospitality from Imran.

It gets busy here so may be worth booking ahead. Absolutely stunning food, reasonable prices and good portion sizes. I would definitely recommend the special lassawala dish, the meat was so tender it just fell apart. Every single item we ordered was brilliant and had an individual taste. The mixed grill was huge and really well cooked. The service was good, and the owner was really friendly taking the time to talk to us. I would definitely recommend and return to eat here when I'm next in Birmingham.

After searching on Internet and checking the reviews we decided to go to Royal Watan we was served by Usman really polite and attentive. We ordered Mixed Grill with chips which was served with fresh green salad and variety of sauces.
The appearance and quality of the lamb meat was good however we find tandoori marination too salty, we told Usman he called his manager Imran (very nice and humble gentleman) who went to great length to sort the issue out, at the end he advise us to try Haryali Chicken (Green Chicken) with nan which was tasty and we've enjoyed our food. We were not charged for the Mixed Grill (thank you)
Will I go there again YES definitely because of their excellent service.

It speaks for itself when restaurant is almost full on sunday evening .
We had very delightful experience today.
Very welcoming ,helpful and always smiling staff .
We ordered lasswala lamb and chicken chooza . Chicken Tikka Naan, cheese Naan and Ferrero shake . Portin size qas enough for two, esecially medium chicken tikka naan was much bigger than I exected.
They took extra care spices were adjusted according our taste (i ike steonger spices) .All food items were fresh and tasteful,although Chicken chooza could have been a bit better but I don't blame the chef as we asked this dish specifically less spicy for our kid.
Ambience also is very nice with beautiful lighting decors.
Overall very nice experience.
P.S.- you have to par on side streets.

Bring your own alcohol 🍷🍷
Fabulous place with really warm service. We didn't know the area and booked on the way to Birmingham based on Google reviews and have to say it didn't disappoint.
Food is delicious, naan bread is massive.
Bring your own alcohol is a great touch too.
Menu is a bit hard to read in places (red on black)

Well reccomended whenever u are in Birmingham. We went there to celebrate my son graduation and wow! All the dishes are amazing, taste are perfect and i can say i had the best saag paneer, chicken tikka & mixed vege ever! The lamb beriyani so good, the lamb is so tender and i can eat the rice even by itself. Good food, good service, great ambience and value for money! Tq guys for doing extra mile for us to break our fast. Will definately come back for more!

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to the team at The Royal Watan for a wonderful dining experience.
The food at Royal Watan was nothing short of fantastic and is one of the best around. The flavors in each dish were rich and authentic, a true testament to the skills of the chefs. It's evident that a lot of care and thought goes into every plate.
I also wanted to extend my thanks for going the extra mile in helping me retrieve my forgotten bag for work. They kept it safe until I could come back the next day was greeted by the owner who i spoke to on the phone who even had time to have a friendly sit down chat. This kind gesture reflects the exceptional level of service I've come to expect from the Royal Watan.
Overall, my visit was enjoyable and memorable, thanks in no small part to your restaurant's ambiance, flavors, and the attentive staff. I look forward to returning soon to enjoy another delicious meal.
Warm regards,
Chris

The Royal Watan is our new go to restaurant after watching cricket at Edgbaston. We've been a number of times recently and have had a fantastic experience on each occasion. A warm welcome, courteous service and delicious food.
The restaurant is beautifully presented, it's a pleasure to eat there. We love the fact that they bring a bottle of water to the table without having to ask and being able to take your own alcoholic drinks keeps the price down.
Thank you to the staff and chefs - we will be back!

food poisoned been unwell since visiting this place only to find the poor hygiene rating is 2!! Poor service and the food was satisfactory. Dry and bland. They don’t have a versatile customer base and this is reflected in their food, mild and bland is their speciality unfortunately will not be returning.

An excellent, convenient spot for some great baltis. You can mix and match or create your own, and if you're feeling extra adventurous, get it "desi style". We ordered the lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka masala, and saag pander. All three dishes were excellent and provided varied tastes.
Their mango lassi is incredible and nicely balances out the spice without being too heavy.

This place is superb. I came here a few weeks ago with some friends as after visiting the pub a few doors down, we were all starving! It was really quiet when we went in, however, the staff were charming and showed us to a table. They do not serve alcohol, however there is an off license a short walk away and so, we sent the lads out for some wine, whilst we looked at the menu. I found the menu a little overwhelming as it was so big and I felt spoilt for choice. I settled on a veggie dish (I cannot for the life of me remember the name), which included potato, spinach, chillies, tomatoes and rice. They served it in huge sizzling dishes and it was absolutely delicious! It tasted well cooked and was just right. After our meal, we finished our drinks and they gave us some sweets with the bill, which was a cute touch.
The atmosphere was relaxing and although it was not busy, I did not feel uncomfortable. Overall, I think this is a wonderful place, I only wish that more people would go as every time I walk past it seems quite empty! It is definitely worth a visit.
