Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a five-day festival that's celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains around the world. This year's celebrations begin on October 24, with fireworks all over Birmingham.
If you're looking for a treat this Diwali, we've got you covered. Here are our 3 top picks to celebrate.
Dishoom has been a top place to go in Birmingham since opening two years ago.
The minute you walk through the door, the cheesy furnishings, wood-panelled walls, and lovely ambience transport you to a Bombay train cafe in the 1920s. The candle-lit restaurant is constantly crowded and buzzing with conversation and laughter.
Putting the atmosphere aside, it's the flavour that keeps customers coming back. This Diwali, they are presenting you with a classic Diwali duo. Dahi Batata Puri, a much-loved Bombay Chaat - Tangy, crispy puris filled with batata (potatoes), Dahi (fresh yoghurt), liberal mint chutney and tamarind drizzle are rubied with pomegranates – moreish pleasure. And to drink, Thandai - a refreshing tall drink of almonds, fennel, black pepper, cardamom and milk. Blended with ice and strewn with rose petals.
Available until 30th October at all of their cafés.
Love for India served as the inspiration for "Indus." It's a little-known truth that the term "India" came from the Indus River, which drained the Asian subcontinent.
This upscale Indian restaurant is being brought to Birmingham by chefs who were inspired by their own countries to upgrade their favourite recipes. It will take you on a culinary journey through northern India, exploring the richness of tastes, contrasts, and textures of the area that has been synonymous with centuries of tradition. To celebrate the Festival of Lights, they prepared a special offer, giving you a 50% discount on your food bill.
Available from 25th October until 4th November.
Looking for comforting vegetarian options? Jyoti, Birmingham's only Indian Vegetarian Restaurant, is preparing an absolutely delicious Diwali dinner. The dishes are inspired by South India and are especially known for their dhosas. These are traditional rice pancakes filled with anything from coconut chutney, to potato, onions and pineapple.
If you want a memorable evening out in a friendly and cost family-run restaurant which serves up a wide range of 'wicked' curry dishes - then Jyoti's is the place to go.
If you’re looking to add a bit of spice to the Festival of Lights, embark on a journey of flavours with Asha’s. The Touchwood restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner today, with a small number of tables remaining throughout the duration of the day.
Or, if you'd prefer, why not celebrate from the comfort of your own home whilst enjoying a mouth-watering Asha's takeaway?
