About Royal shinwari

On Washwood Heath Rd in Birmingham, Royal shinwari is an Afghan restaurant with a traditional seating area. The menu centres on karahi dishes, with lamb karahi and mutton karahi among the options, plus a chicken special karahi. Chapli kebab and the Shinwari BBQ platter sit alongside them, and mango lassi is on hand as a drink. Badami chicken must be ordered about two hours in advance, so diners who want it should plan ahead. Dishes are cooked fresh, which means the food can take some time to arrive. Complimentary green tea comes before you leave.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the chapli kebab, praised as full of flavour and cooked perfectly, with the lamb or mutton karahi close behind. Others single out the Shenwari BBQ platter, the afghani tikka, the mango lassi and the Badami chicken, which one reviewer says must be ordered about two hours ahead and calls worth the wait. Diners describe authentic Peshawari cooking, generous portions, tender meat, and a perfect level of spice. The staff come up repeatedly as friendly and attentive, and one reviewer mentions a traditional seating area. The one caution is timing: a reviewer notes the food can take some time to arrive, though they attribute that to it being cooked fresh. Several remember small gestures, including a member of staff who invited a takeaway customer to join their own meal and a complimentary green tea served before diners left.

    “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Royal Shinwari is a true representation of authentic Peshawari cuisine. The food is full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and tastes just like traditional dishes from Peshawar. The meat was tender, fresh, and seasoned exactly as it should be, while the naan and rice complemented every dish perfectly. What impressed me most was the authenticity of the food and the generous portions. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. If you’re looking for genuine Peshawari food with rich flavours and high-quality ingredients, Royal Shinwari is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!”
