Description
The Royal Alfaisel is one of the many restaurants that claims to be the first balti house in Britain. Established in 1982, it remains one of the city's finest restaurants and yet has few airs or graces. Food is still ridiculously cheap (lord knows what it charged in 1982 but the menu must have been priced in pence) and it's always freshly prepared with starters being exceptional value. Most main courses will be around the £5 mark, and there's also a balti buffet with a choice of 25 dishes for £5.95.
