Birmingham restaurant Indian Café Racer has moved to larger premises on Bristol Street - and the new site is now open!

Originally launched in 2022 from the back of The Wellington pub, the cult favourite has outgrown its original space and is now relocating to a 65-cover restaurant just up the road to meet demand.

The new location, at 88–90 Bristol Street promises to keep the same bold flavours and charming atmosphere that made the original a hit, while offering more space for loyal regulars and first-time diners.

Founder Azad Kayes grew up in a family of restaurateurs. Inspired by a research trip to India and fuelled by a no-rules approach to running a restaurant, he launched Indian Café Racer during lockdown with a clear vision: to showcase the energy of India’s streets through food, in a relaxed, modern setting. Within months, the restaurant built a cult following and an army of regulars.

While the vibe remains laid-back, the food continues to push boundaries. The expanded menu includes:

Truffle Paneer Tikka – Creamy tandoor-charred paneer with truffle
Juicy Lamb Ribs – Robata-grilled, fall-off-the-bone lamb
Farzi Steak – A meat-free marvel made with aubergine and portobello
Mango Fish Curry – South Indian flavours with a zing of raw mango
Kolkata-style Kosha Murghi – On-the-bone chicken steeped in tradition

Fan favourites like Gobi Manchurian, Chicken 65, Lamb Biryani and Rajastani Lamb are still front and centre.
