Thali - the food of kings

This picture was taken at a little (south?) Indian place near Gare du Nord in Paris - think it was maybe Govinda's? Anyway this to me is the perfect vegetarian meal - a delicious variety of mini dishes avec mountain of rice and papad - and even a pudding thrown in. All for around 8 Euros! I love equally Diwana on Drummond Street near Euston (handy from Bham train) with it's crazy value all-you-can-eat buffet from 12-2. I've heard Leicester is also a top spot for Thali.

But where can you get this in Birmingham? Jyoti is one option but I was just not impressed with their flavour or authenticity... Please someone argue with me on this as I'd love to find somewhere near the centre of town. Recently we found a very lovely Gujurati place near Ikea Wednesbury (better option than meatballs) but were on the wrong night for Thali - that happens on a Tues or Thurs so someone please report back on that. Here is the link - hopefully they will update the website soon: http://www.surtifoods.co.uk

Their food is great anyway so please go there if you can.
