“Melt-in-Your-Mouth Magic: The Ultimate Lamb Experience!” I’ve had lamb before, but nothing could’ve prepared me for this next-level dish. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, infused with deep, savory spices that made every bite feel like a warm embrace. The slow-roasting brought out a richness and depth I didn’t even know lamb could have. Paired with a silky red wine reduction and buttery mashed potatoes, it was like dining in culinary heaven. Every mouthful was a masterclass in flavor, balance, and pure satisfaction. If you’re a meat lover and haven’t tried this, you’re seriously missing out!

Thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re absolutely thrilled that our lamb dish left such a lasting impression on you. Our chefs put a lot of heart into slow-roasting it to perfection and layering it with bold, soulful spices—so it means the world to hear you describe it as a “masterclass in flavor.” We’re all about creating those unforgettable, melt-in-your-mouth moments, and it’s clear you experienced just that. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more culinary magic soon! Team Charsi Dera

Honestly, these are the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. So many places claim to serve lamb but it’s really just sheep – tough and gamey. Not here. Charsi Dera uses proper, young lamb and you can tell straight away. The meat is so tender and juicy, full of flavour, and grilled just right with that perfect char. Every bite is rich, succulent, and ridiculously satisfying. No shortcuts, no nonsense – just real lamb, cooked with skill. If you love a good chop, this place is a must. I’d go back just for those alone. Absolutely spot on.

Loved the food and the owner was super polite. Their charsi tikka is honestly one of a kind, couldn’t fault the food at all. They were a bit short staffed today so service was a little slow, but nothing major. Overall, I’d definitely come back again.

Delicious food, we ordered the charsi platter II for 4 people and liked every part of it. The chapli kebab was the best I'd had, so juicy and moist, full of flavour and melt in the mouth. Lovely atmosphere. They also give free tap water. Customer service is excellent. Would recommend and will visit again.

The food was delicious and mouth melting. It make take a bit to come but it's definitely worth the wait. The lamb karahi came to us hot and ready and it had the perfect amount of spice. The price was also not much so you can eat good and pay not even that much for the delicious food. The kebabs were also delicious and the perfect level of spice for kids and adults alike. The karak chai was great and helps you swallow the delicious food. The customer service was also great and friendly

Food was fantastic, tasted fresh, clean, and tasty. A hidden gem in Birmingham. Service was brilliant especially our host Alishba and the manager who stayed open longer to serve us tea after our meal. Highly recommend.

Dropped in one freezing evening, enroute late from office deadlines hoping for a quick curry pickup to break my fast at home — little did I know I’d wandered straight into a slice of Peshawar itself, having missed the signboard on my hurried way in. Not my usual culinary preference, I asked for a Pakistani karahi, only to be met with bemused smiles and, soon after, a spread of rich, aromatic Peshawari dishes that needed no translation. As I paced to get home to open my fast in time, awaiting my order, the owner appeared like a gracious apparition, absolutely insisted I stay and break my fast right there — with a full three-course meal, entirely on the house. The generosity was as heartwarming as the enormous chapli kebabs — truly heroic in size and spirit. A place where hospitality isn’t just offered, but served with both hands and a genuinely big heart.

I recently visited Charsi Dera when passing through Birmingham. I ordered the Platter 1, and I was really impressed. The lamb chops stood out the most, they were incredibly flavorful, juicy, and had that perfect smoky, grilled taste. You could tell they were marinated well and cooked just right. The chapli kebab was another highlight, crispy on the outside, soft and spicy on the inside, just how it should be. The seekh kebab was tender and nicely seasoned, with a great balance of spices. The portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh. It’s clear they put effort into the quality and flavour of their food. The service was without fault and the staff were very attentive. If you're a fan of Pakistani or Afghani BBQ, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be going back!

I go past this place on the way to my brother's. Food aromas always smell amazing and always seems to be busy so ordered takeaway on Uber Eats. Food was awesome. Delicious, authentic, great value too. Felt totally unwelcome when picking it up though, not sure why, I was polite and respectful, but a shame because I'd have loved to eat from there again.
