I work pretty close to the Mizan restaurant and have seen it on visits to the
local shops on a regular basis. From the outside the restaurant looks clean and
expensive, this is continued once inside.
Parking outside early evening is touch and go, if you don't mind a 2 minute walk there
is a waitrose opposite and they have a large car park at the rear.
We skipped starters and went straight for the main courses ordering
chicken curry, chicken balti, roast chicken and from the
chefs speciality menu a tandoori mixed masala.,
side dishes included a peshwari naan and a plain naan,
boiled rice, fried rice and chips.
The Mizan is licensed and sells a range of alcohol and soft drinks.
Mizan is one of the restaurants that offers you popadoms and forget
to tell you that they charge 60p each for them when you get the bill.
This is a pet hate of mine about restaurants.
If you get to the restaurant about 6pm be prepared to wait for your food,
on both of our visits we have been early evening and had to wait a while.
This is due to them still warming the ovens up we were told.
The food when it arrived was good, everyone enjoyed the meal, even the hard to please one who
can't seem to find a chicken curry that matches his regular restaurant so it must have been good.
My only complaint was the mixed masala didn't have much meat, a single piece of each meat was not
very much but everyone else seemed to have enough. Next time I'm going to try the chicken tikka masala
to see if I can beat the tikka masala challenge
Overall a quality restaurant and excellent food in quiet surroundings. The food including drink (& £2.40 for popadoms) was a approx £52.00
We gave Mizan a 4 Star rating and they will be recieving a certificate of quality from the thebaltiguide.com
Directions - From the Robin Hood island heading towards the city centre on the Stratford Road, approximately 1/2 mile on the left opposite waitrose.
From the city centre
head towards Shirley (M42), when you get to Hall Green College Mizan is about 1/2 mile on the right, just pased the Bulls Head pub.
