Balti Triangle

Balti Triangle

The Balti Triangle is an area of Balti houses clustered along Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane and Stratford Road, to the south of Birmingham city centre. It covers parts of Sparkbrook, Sparkhill and Balsall Heath.

This area probably contains Birmingham's highest concentration of balti restaurants, as well as some of the oldest to be found in Britain. Birmingham is popularly believed to be the birthplace of the Balti curry [http://www.davidsemporium.co.uk/_Balti.html]
