A closer look at “Indian Cafe Racer Birmingham B5 Review: Azad Kayes' Cult Balti Triangle Spot Grows Up”, exactly as the source publishes it. The Guardian Lifestyle Oct 11, 2026 • 5:02 AM 1 views Indian Cafe Racer has moved from its cult beginnings behind a pub curtain on Bristol Street to a new 65-cover restaurant in Birmingham's B5 district, marking a bright spot for a local food scene that has seen the once-bustling Balti Triangle shrink from 30 restaurants to just two on Ladypool Road and Stratford Road.
The review finds the cooking 'sometimes bang on, sometimes a little slapdash,' but notes that the food consistently piques interest, suggesting a restaurant still finding its footing in a more ambitious space. For Birmingham diners, the expansion is a rare good-news story in a neighborhood that has lost most of its iconic curry houses, and it signals that inventive, personality-driven Indian cooking can still draw a crowd.
