In the early 1990s this was the first of the "bring your own booze" curry houses in Wolverhampton sporting the "balti" name rather than the previously fashionable "tandoori" or even earlier just plain "curry". The kitchen was open to full view, behind the serving area. In a basic decor, just a few basic meals were offered at a good price, and very tasty they were too. Only three out eleven units in this row are now trading being at the edge of the defunct Summer Row regeneration scheme. After about twenty years of fiddle and fudge with no result we are yet again waiting for a positive rebuilding project to make Wolverhampton a place worth visiting. Perhaps we will then have a "fusion" restaurant ... if that hasn't already gone out of fashion! Update December 2022: To be demolished. https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2022/12/14/empty-shops-in-wolverhampton-city-centre-to-be-demolished/
