Highly featured in all the media in the UK
As one of the last remaining traditional Birmingham balti houses, Shababs is known across the world.
We’ve featured in newspapers, magazines, on the TV and on the radio, with celebrities among some of our biggest fans.
Newspapers from the Guardian to the New York Times have written about us, along with everyone in between, and we’ve told our story to radio stations from BBC Radio 4 to the BBC Asian Network.
We’ve shared the secrets of our authentic Birmingham Balti with comedian Omid Djalili, the world-famous Hairy Bikers, and TV presenters Alison Hamond and Rylan Clark, appearing on BBC, Channel 5, Channel 4, and the History Channel, plus many many more.
Our mission is to keep the tradition of the Brummie Balti alive, and we like nothing more than telling our story and sharing the secrets that make this unique cuisine so important not only for Birmingham, but as part of UK food culture.
