New restaurant puts plant-based twist on South Asian delicacies

South Asian street food restaurant, Dhalings Kitchen, celebrated their grand opening in Birmingham city centre this month as they start their journey, writes Claudia Congrave.

Dhalings Kitchen is a take away food brand pioneering plant based South Asian meals and was founded by award winning chef and author, Nitisha Patel and Midlands event photographer and Future Faces member, Edwin Ladd.

After signing the contract for her second cookery book 'The Delicious Book of Dhal ', Nitisha realised the popularity of her dhal and plant based recipes and decided to explore how she could take the concept to the next level.

Imagining a world where vegetables and grains are no longer considered a side dish or accompaniment, Dhalings was born out of a desire to pass down traditional South Asian recipes with a began and vegetarian twist.

The restaurant uses sustainable packing and pride themselves on a menu that provides fresh, family favourite recipes to the comfort of people 's homes.

Joining Edwin and Nitisha at the launch part last week on behalf of the Chamber were Future Faces president Jaccy Datta and vice-president Kasim Choudhry.

Dhalings Kitchen is located on Windsor Road just outside Birmingham City Centre.

Customers can order through the Dhalings website and via Just Eat or Uber Eats.
