Indian Streatery, a Punjabi restaurant that started as a street food stall at Digbeth Dining Club, has expanded to Resorts World at the NEC, offering a pre-show dining option for gigs at BP Pulse LIVE. The restaurant, which opened its first permanent location on Bennetts Hill in August 2017, now serves its award-winning casual Indian cuisine at a 100-seat venue at Resorts World.
From Humble Beginnings to Award-Winning Success
For nearly a decade, Indian Streatery has weathered the challenges of running a city centre business. The family-run restaurant made its name selling street food at Digbeth Dining Club before establishing a permanent presence in Birmingham's business district. Over nine years, it has built a loyal customer base, hosted royal visits, and consistently been recognized as one of the best casual dining Indian restaurants in the city.
The restaurant's accolades include the Most Innovative Casual Indian Restaurant prize from the SME UK Enterprise Awards and the Best Indian Street Food Dining Experience award from the Restaurant and Bar Awards. Its cocktail menu, named after family members, and a kitchen led entirely by female chefs further distinguish the brand.
New Location at Resorts World NEC
The new Resorts World location offers the same menu as the Bennetts Hill original, featuring a wide range of Indian spirits that are hard to find elsewhere. Diners can prebook or walk in, making it convenient for those attending conventions, events at the exhibition centre, or concerts at BP Pulse LIVE.
Resorts World already hosts several dining options, including Dave's Hot Chicken, Five Guys, Karaage, Las Iguanas, and Miller and Carter. However, Indian Streatery provides a taste of Birmingham's vibrant food scene, along with Vietnamese Street Kitchen, a family-run spot also popular with locals.
Pre-Show Dining for BP Pulse LIVE Gigs
As BP Pulse LIVE prepares to host major acts like Def Leppard and Extreme on July 4, 2026, Indian Streatery offers a convenient dinner option for concertgoers. The restaurant's proximity to the venue and its flexible booking policy make it an attractive choice for pre-show dining.
According to the restaurant's team, the expansion to Resorts World marks a significant milestone, bringing their unique blend of Punjabi street food and modern dining to a wider audience. With 100 seats available, the venue can accommodate both small groups and larger parties.
Conclusion
Indian Streatery's journey from a Digbeth street food stall to a multi-location award-winning restaurant underscores the growing popularity of casual Indian dining in Birmingham. Its new NEC outpost not only serves loyal fans but also introduces visitors to the city's culinary heritage, making it a must-try for anyone attending events at BP Pulse LIVE or Resorts World.
