Zaalsha - Sandwell

We decided to try somewhere different from our usual. I was told the food at Zaalsha was nice. We ordered a Norwegian prawn balti, mushroom pilau, palak paneer and baigan jhool and tandoori roti. My partner is Punjabi so knows a thing or two about Indian food. We got free poppadoms which was. The selection of food there is great. The mushroom rice was nice, the jhool ok, the roti wasn 't very well cooked and the balti unfortunately tasted of, well, not very much at all. I had to add lemon juice to try and save it but it was really disappointing. Compared to Kashmir on Bearwood or the Covered Wagon in Billesley this doesn 't come close to taste, and despite the nice selection of food and the nice looking restaurant, what makes you come back is how tasty the food was and this was just a bit dull unfortunately.

This has got to be the best Indian restaurant ever the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are the friendliest I’ve ever met. I try to get here whenever I visit Birmingham and totally recommend others try it Parking: Parking isn’t great but I always go by taxi Kid-friendliness: My grandson was with us, he has autism and doesn’t sit still. The staff were wonderful with him Service: Dine in

Ordered here after so long . Food took over hour . The lamb tikka was bland. The lamb biryani tasted burnt and not something I've tasted before . The balti was OK again bland a little . The rice was sweet for some reason. Certainly agree with other review food seems to have changed. Last time I ordered was few months back and was lovely . Tonight was not to my liking . Just my own opinion not reflection on business as just my taste buds .The prices here are high so I'm expecting tasty quality food which I feel was not the case tonight
