Cold and hungry in Birmingham

manveruppd · 3 Feb 2007 at 18:42

I find myself in Birmingham with 2 hrs to kill and thought i'd grab some grub. Saw a couple of decent restaurants but I figure the wait for a tableon a saturday night will be too long so i'm gravitating towards the fast-food type of eating establishment.

Rather than stoop to the level of a McD or BK, I thought I'd ask the ocuk gastronomic brigade to suggest somewhere within walking distance of the New Street train station (with instructions please as I don't know the town). Some kind of quick noodle bar or a (good!) kebab shop would be ideal!

You want a kebab over a BK or McD.....your nuts, at least they control the standards for BK etc, they dont nearly as much for a kebab!

Go pizza hut

It's about a 10 minute walk to your left as you come out into the town centre direction from the train station (McD is on your right as you walk out).

Oh you wanted something quick? Nevermind

Ponti's Café (if B'Ham have em)

24hr cafe that do fresh paninis and baguettes etc. (and all day brekkie's)

Turn right out of station, head towards that HUGE blue hotel. Kebab shop on left (past the junction).

or turn left at that junction for China Town.

If you hit the round-a-bout, you've gone too far.

2 mins, tops!

Not a birmingham man, so can't say I'm afraid. Here in nottingham (and other cities I've visited) it feels like theres one on every street though, so I'm sure a local could direct you in the right direction

Surely the best subway is either steak cheese with mayo, lettuce and tomato, or Italian BMT with mayo, jalapenos, tomato and cucumber.
