Spices are the essence of Indian cuisine, with their trade going back centuries with Arab merchants supplying spices and aromatics to Europe. So often sought out for their wonderous colours, textures, flavours and vibrancy, people from across the world came to India in seek of the mysterious blends that perfumed Indian cuisine with such warmth and elegancy. Despite their naturally alluring properties that tantalised the senses, Indian spices were often indulged in with the thought of having medicinal properties within them. For decades now, the social system of medicine has been closely linked to the culinary culture of ancient India. With the aspect of using aromatic spices to heal - absorbing their therapeutic properties, the use of Indian spices has become an international indulgence from dishes such as Biryani and Masala to Pani Puri and Naan. Simple dishes that absorb, permeate and become enriching over time and thought to heal the body and the soul through the comfort and radiance of traditional Indian cooking. Founded nearly three decades ago, Streetly Balti was established out of pure necessity, bringing the flavours and experiences of Indian culture to the UK. With popularity growing nationwide, settlers brought over other traditions, seasonings and flavours. Thus, the three founders captured their dream of serving authentic Indian cuisine, utilising the inspiring aromatics brought in by their local and fellow community – a collaborative effort of passion beloved by all within the Birmingham area. Currently, Streetly Balti is run by the youngest founding brother, Shab and his sons. Together, they have created a contemporary filled restaurant that provides re-invented traditional dishes infused with love, care, and speciality ingredients that establish a one of a kind taste and experience – perfectly executed by its highly regarded chef Mr Rayhan. “At Streetly Balti, even though we believe that first impressions last we know that our customer experience starts way before they taste the food.
