NEW DESIGN FOR 2021!
In 2021, the factory we originally commissioned to manufacture our balti bowls sold its beautiful site in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and relocated out of the city. While this was a sad moment for us, it also became a unique opportunity—one that allowed us to completely rethink and refine our product after three years of real-world testing.
We went back to the drawing board, working closely with expert chefs from the Balti Triangle. We were even granted special access by Birmingham Museum to study the original balti bowl on display—an invaluable reference in our redesign process. By combining the most loved features from our original design, insights from professional chefs, and inspiration from the historic bowl, we set out to create the ultimate Birmingham-designed and made balti bowl.
Most importantly, we ensured that production remained firmly rooted in Birmingham—the true spiritual home of the balti.
Our new design is crafted in small batches by a family-run factory on the edge of the Jewellery Quarter, bringing our story full circle. The updated bowl offers improved stove manoeuvrability, increased capacity, a refined edge, and a more authentic aesthetic—faithful to tradition, yet with a subtle modern elegance.
Each bowl is now spun, the gold standard in premium cookware manufacturing. This artisan technique is used in the world’s finest kitchens, and we are incredibly proud to support and preserve this craft here in Birmingham. Producing in small batches also means every bowl has a story—we can even tell you the name of the skilled craftsperson who spun yours.
Remarkably, we have now brought production of the Birmingham balti bowl back to Birmingham—not once, but twice.
Our confidence in the quality of our craftsmanship is reflected in our lifetime guarantee. These bowls are built to last a lifetime of balti cooking. Each one also comes with a recipe and a booklet exploring the rich history of the Birmingham balti.
For over 30 years, we have been proud to be the experts in Birmingham balti.
