The National Restaurant Show in Chicago just confirmed what we’ve known for years: live-fire cooking is the future. From ember-roasted seafood to wood-fired meats, the Michelin Guide calls it the #1 trend of 2026.
But while Chicago plays catch-up, one restaurant in Birmingham, UK has already mastered the flame.
Via Delhi is officially the best restaurant in Birmingham for authentic Indian food — from smoky tandoori tikkas and biryanis to Indo-Chinese and indulgent mocktails.
Here’s why Birmingham keeps choosing us, and why you will too.
Why Via Delhi Is Birmingham’s Best
We don’t just follow food trends — we set them. Our tandoor has been blazing for years, serving up the kind of smoky, charred perfection that Chicago chefs are only now chasing. And with the UK’s Indian food scene exploding — new Michelin-starred spots in London, Haldiram’s just opened — Birmingham deserves its own champion. That’s us.
From biryani to barbecue, seafood to soups, here’s what makes Via Delhi unbeatable.
Biryani — The Crown Jewel
Biryani is the most-ordered dish in Indian cuisine for a reason. Our Chicken Biryani and Mutton Biryani are slow-cooked in a dum pot, layered with aged basmati, whole spices, and tender meat. One bite and you’re on the streets of Old Delhi.
Seafood — Fresh, Fiery, Flawless
Our Amritsari Macchi (Chef’s Special) is crispy, tangy, and addictive. Our Fish Curry swims in a coconut-spiced gravy that’s perfect with butter naan. Coastal India meets Birmingham — only at Via Delhi.
Bar BQ & Tikkas — Straight from the Tandoor
· Tandoori Chicken – juicy, charred, legendary.
· Tangri Kabab – drumsticks with a fiery masala hug.
· Zaffrani Mutton Seekh Kabab – saffron-infused, smoky, melt-in-the-mouth.
We don’t grill. We worship the flame.
Tandoori Teasers — The Perfect Start
· Chicken Malai Ti88kka – creamy, subtle, dreamy.
· Chicken Seekh Kabab – spiced just right.
· Amritsari Macchi – the crowd favourite.
These are not starters. They’re a promise of greatness.
Indo Chinese — Delhi Meets the Wok
· Chilli Chicken – fiery, sticky, unforgettable.
· Delhi Style Noodles – wok-tossed street magic.
· Chilli Honey Potato – sweet, spicy, crunchy.
Indo-Chinese is having a global moment. We’ve been perfecting it for years.
Main Course — Comfort, Elevated
· Chicken Tikka Butter Masala – creamy, rich, iconic.
· Chicken Changezi – deep Mughlai flavours.
· Dal Makhani & Kadai Paneer – vegetarian heroes
Pair with garlic naan and thank us later.
Soups — Liquid Gold
· Macaroni Shadi Wala Tomato Soup – wedding-style, buttery, nostalgic.
· Chicken Stock Soup – clear, soothing, soulful.
· Lemon Coriander Soup – bright, healthy, zingy.
