[@spacepirate7743]

one of your best videos Jess and Matt ..love ya

[@doofus4648]

I’ve still got Andy’s original pocket book guide of Birmingham Balti restaurants, it must be 25-30 years old now.

[@rhymezeerhymes_music]

Great watch again, feeling to jump on the train few bevvies and a curry ❤

[@craphead9842]

Have had fantastic baltis in Acocks green and castle Bromwich which are just as good... Tony cuenca

[@chriscoughlan5221]

shababs again!! surely there are other balti places? mcmaster was here last year!!

[@robjessop5864]

…great vid… that food looked absolutely delicious…!!!

[@adam2four]

Got a shababs on the way as I'm watching this 👍

[@brumsgrub8633]

Used to be a pub on that corner you did the intro, and they would bring your beer to you across the road when you was in shabbab

[@chillee2531]

Balti & Indian cuisine in the U.K. is about as Indian as Spag boll to Italians. Don’t know why, having been in Asia the food is amazing, doesn’t compare to the slop sold in the U.K.

[@craigdonald551]

I’ve lived in Asia for over 20 years and been to many countries there and eaten from food stalls to 5 star restaurants and nothing I’ve had in that time tasted as good as the Balti Chicken Saag I had in Adils in 1981.

[@scottanderson3751]

I’ve lived in England my entire life but grew up with a Pakistani uncle and goat curry… …I started making curry about 20 years ago and made many dishes from Asia (my wonton soup is OP,not just curry) so noticed certain ingredients stuck with specific regions and that was that but I enjoyed them all so combined all I knew into one “super curry” which (ovi with boiled egg/peas 😉) without doubt it’s the best thing I ever eaten in England by far ✌️

[@SK-kh2rs]

Unreal video

[@craigm72]

Chef is a legend Tell he’s a master of his craft Great vid 👍

[@wedmoreblue]

Fantastic to see a balti being cooked! Those flames!! “Balti tornado” 🔥🔥🔥

[@baseman2002]

Absolutely fantastic review. Very informative. I'm from Dudley which isn't too far from Birmingham so the influence is here too. Shout out to the Balti King. I'm going to order that book also how do I order a couple of those balti pans?

[@wedmoreblue]

Look up The Birmingham Balti Bowl Co. for the online site to order the balti pans. They also do a wooden stand that the balti sits in as the idea is to eat the curry directly from the balti. You can also buy the book on the same site.

[@baseman2002]

@@wedmoreblue Thank you

[@kenkeneth]

Good words baseman, Stourbridge lad here 🙌🏼 got the two bowl deal ordered

[@weeddegree]

Good place to start a documentary series Matt, good people in brum

[@brothersman524]

Shababs is my favourite restaurant on Ladypool Road

[@anthonymurray4389]

Doing Birmingham Proud, Balti is the best by far 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@webbzz91]

Birmingham is the SECOND CITY!!!!!

[@decone2674]

Clever man

[@ronlegend2526]

Gutted that I wasn't aware you were coming to Birmingham. Next time you're down here you need to try the chicken donner from Al Shazans on Stratford Rd in Sparkhill. Then Kurd naan junction which is 1 minute away(Formans road) to try their keema naan and chicken naan(You wont be able to get your head around the prices) and then a 5 minute walk(down Stratford rd) to Hajees to try their Mexican burger

[@joolz80male]

He Drained The Oil Into That Massive Pot on the Right. Where does he add it from in the beginning!? Just Wondering 🤔

[@wolverinescratch]

Great review very detailed Birmingham stand up

[@brumsgrub8633]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Hairbyben]

Listening in i the guy hocking a loogy a min before the end. Looks like great food.

[@lliving4today]

Well done for having this fella on ...a gem!

[@mraldridge7612]

Best in brum 👌🏻👏🏻

[@tahirmahmood6316]

Love watching white people making curry and telling us it's a English dish lol

[@leemc5646]

They mean westernised, they aren't authentic dishes are they?

[@raftonpounder6696]

It wasn’t a British person making it.

[@colinclane9637]

I'm sorry when he used the base in the balti that's cheating

[@searlek]

This was brilliant. Really informative on a form of curry I've loved for years in a city I was proud to call home and miss terribly. Hope you do more of these types of video!

[@jaydemalone6003]

I love my curry's I'm the curry queen not curry i would go for bit mild .love chansi.or south Indian .madrass .but great review

[@JohnSmith-qs1in]

shababs is vile, the food was way to salty and swimming in gee.

[@waynethomas4728]

I'm drooling! I started cooking 'Indian' in the mid 80s with Pat Chapman's book - still love the food, Balti being my usual go to dish. Mr Dave's in Lye was legendary.

[@nitrous190]

Top Drawer Content !!!!!!

[@Pytchblend]

You're suiting the documentary format. Great vid Matt

[@jasonsweb1]

as a Brummie who has had many baltis at the balti triangle,your only mistake was using a spoon.the naan is the spoon,you dont eat them with a spoon. i do hate seeing batis/curries on a plate being eaten with a knife and fork 😅, to quote NEO from the MATRIX... "There is no spoon"

[@steveparadox1]

Wow, you finally visited a Birmingham balti restaurant!! Good stuff!

[@markwallace7944]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏 loved the insight in Balti cooking 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chrishardy3473]

Gotta have a garlic naan with it surely!

[@carljones81]

Absolutely loved this video, found out a few new things!!

[@markfasey9201]

Was it a 10/10 matt and jess ??? Looked the rollox 🤪

[@stoopeydaboopee6686]

Quality content in this video top class

[@chippy3350]

Unfortunately there aren’t many balti restaurants left particularly in Ladypool Road, most are grill restaurants, burgers etc, younger Asians in brum are getting fed up with eating curries so the demise of restaurants

[@robblakey8611]

A taxi driver once told me to ask for a curry from a chef “ APNA” style I think he said

[@baqarhussain81]

Apna means our. Basically your asking them to cook it for the Pakistani taste buds.

[@billy2rivers1]

Frank skinner on frc.

[@brentleech7758]

Quality content

[@fulltiltfrankie5388]

Mat’s face when Andy said caramelisation 😂

[@user-sc2ps3vg4b]

Im struggling. Why are you eating it like its a hot pot. Gets some Nan or rice.

[@richardhindmarsh939]

Not even the same sport ! Birmingham baltis rule!

[@secondcitytech]

Shababs - Number 1, I have been visiting weekly for years.

[@elroyvanderley6460]

Wow, your voice wasn't ruined here yet!

[@Tokyomodeldetective]

Audio on the guest is low! You need clip on mics

[@UMEK12]

Good video 👍 Great insight in Balti curry

[@Baltihunter]

I wonder if Al Frash & Adils will ever reopen. Really miss them

[@TonyMontana-zl8pz]

Drive past it on a Friday Saturday night, all english faces in the place says it all, if Pakistanis ain't dining at a Pakistani joint says it all

[@mrcampbell4611]

Great video Matt

[@Coventry268]

Big up to Brum and the Baltiverse

[@astongrad930]

Educational and engaging, great episode

[@kasper52173]

Fuck me my mouth watering deniftly go there

[@markriley5863]

Another pearler Matt. Top content.

[@dancrowley7240]

great vlog Matt cheers

[@sohailali2139]

If the curry is made without its own base sauce its not the one

[@jonh6912]

I’m impressed at how he managed to string out banging on about the difference between a wok and a balti bowl 😂

[@grahambeard3925]

brill guys i loved this......i love a good balti 🤩

[@stuartrich2499]

Brilliant vlog....I will have to try one!!

[@davidkeery3509]

[@chippy3350]

Where do you get those balti pots from

[@FoodReviewClubUK]

Believe he has a website!

[@raftonpounder6696]

It shows you the link in the video! Try watching it!

[@SajidHussain-lj5mr]

Eye lyke Kurrie !

[@stevehaworth7124]

Who honked up at the end lol

[@sp610]

I thought I heard that as well. In a kitchen too.🤢

[@iqbaljunaid1]

Daniel from Rate my takeaway was just here

[@antonafsar6412]

Oii Oii

[@VishalDubey]

That's a kadhai, balti is a bucket

[@billow9721]

Thanks Andy you are a true Brum

[@mikehunt4018]

And that was a documentary 😎

[@steveparadox1]

I'm not sure that all Balti bowls should be flat bottomed. Traditionally they are rounded

[@MrNshaukat]

If your in Birmingham. Try out a hidden gem called “ Hen Ko” on Stratford road hall green. Their peri grill chicken better than Nando’s. And the pizza are great aswell

[@danbreen6946]

He Did Rattle On A Bit

[@londonladxxx]

He got his Ad in very fast lol 👍🏻
