Praza

Praza consistently delivers a delightful dining experience. Its calming atmosphere, spacious interior, and elegant decor create the perfect setting for a relaxed meal. The menu features a selection of mouthwatering starters, including soya tikka and paneer tikka, followed by flavorful mains like methi chaman and paneer butter masala. The naan breads are a standout, perfectly fresh and crispy. Save room for dessert - the chocolate brownie is a must-try. With attentive service and convenient parking, dining at Praza is always a pleasure. Located in a charming setting, it offers not just great food, but a complete dining experience that keeps me coming back.

We have been trying to come here for afternoon tea for the past couple of weeks. But it was always full. So on Sunday, when we had finished shopping in Selfridges and in need of peaceful refreshment, we was delighted that a space was available for 2:30. As we arrived, there were plenty of parking spaces in a big open car park. Rare for Edgbaston. We were shown to our table straight away. We ordered the afternoon tea for two. I went with the sparkling wine, and my partner opted for the chai tea. Our waiter then brought out an eye-catching display of fancy sandwiches, savoury treats, and very nice-looking cakes. Each mouthful was a treat on the tongue. The well combined flavours were subtle and distinguishable. It's not overpowering, which i find too common in asian cuisine. But the chefs here got the balance spot on. There is only a chicken sandwich on this menu. The rest is vegetarian. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. The decor is very dark. I personally like it, but I know others that wouldn't. Especially for an afternoon tea. The staff were really friendly, smartly dressed, and were attentive to our wants and needs. We are definitely going to be coming back to sample the rest of their menu during the week.

It was a random selection one evening. I ordered dinner from them. It came out really delicious and to the point. We liked it a lot. The very next day we ordered again because of its authenticity and flavourful food. This time we again ordered dinner and I called up the restaurant to tailor the spiciness and flavours. They customised the food as requested. This made my day and I will keep this as my first choice to order dinner. This is the best dinner I have had in Birmingham to date. I recommend to give it a try and they would never disappoint.

Everything that we ate tasted delicious and it was clear that it was cooked with care in the kitchen. There was no excess oil/grease in any of our food and the presentation was excellent. Everything tasted fresh. The front of house staff were very attentive and eager to look after our table. The overall experience was excellent. From the staters we chose Amritsari Pakora and the Praza kebab platter. Everything was full of flavour, the stand out for me was the avocado marinated chicken tikka. I'd not seen it before and was happy that it was included in the platter. It was delicately spiced, mellow in flavour and the chicken was succulent and juicy. For mains we chose the Panjabi Chicken Masala and Methi Chicken with a selection of naan and chilli naan. The methi chicken was tasty, worth trying but if you were to choose one out of the two, ask for the Panjabi chicken masala. It's an authentic home-cooked chicken curry and took me right back to my Mum's kitchen. I enjoyed this with a chilli naan, which I didn't know was a thing. It was light, crispy and carried the flavours of green chilli without the heat.
