  Shirley Kebab house is in my opinion,  the best Kebab house is Birmingham (That I have sampled), their prices are the best I have seen and their food is always top notch.  The chicken Tikka in naan is a personal favourite of mine,  freshly cooked on hot coals,  accompanied by a freshly made naan bread.  It's deliciousness it's only rivaled by its great price of only £3.50.  Can be had with a wrap if you are looking to cut down on carbs, great after a gym session :) a
  Accompanied by sauce and salad,  give it a try!
  
  Traditional favourites like Fish and Chips are also available and very competitively priced.
  
  I would definitely recommend!

  We visted Solihul on new years eve on the pretence that we were going to watch our friends band playing,but really it was because we wanted a Shirley K.
  
  You see,our friend (who lives in the area) is always posting pics on facebook late at night showing the delights that this place has to offer. So over time you convince yourself that not only do you need a Shirley K in your life,you actively crave one!
  
  So imagine our delight upon disvovering that it was just accross the road from our hotel for the evening...result!
  
  So festivities and alcohol out of the way we made our way staggeringly for a kebab,and we weren't dissapointed. Ange had a donner on naan with mild sauce,and I went for a chicken on naan with chili sauce. Both were really lovely,although I had eyes bigger than my belly and couldn't eat it all. Nevermind though because it made the journey home with us,and you'll be no doubt thrilled to know that it reheated really nicely!
  
  We weren't in Shirley very long,so I don't know what it has to offer (Apart from members of Morgue Orgy living there),but it has a good Kebab house,and at the end of the day that's what life is all about really : )

  A local favourite. I've been coming here for years mainly due to the great tasting fish batter!
  
  As mentioned by James W, the area does have a lot of competition but for me this would beat them all if your after fish and chips or a donner kebab after a few beers on a Friday / Saturday night. :-)

  When I was a kid, I was bought up in Shirley, Solihull, just round the corner from Shirley Kebab House. In the Eighties it wasn't predominantly a kebab house; it was just a regular fish n chip shop that was owned by a local Greek family. They had a small kebab leg, but it wasn't anything to write home about.
  
  It changed hands in the late 80's to a Pakistani family and they have managed the shop ever since. It now specialises in both Chicken and Doner Kebabs.
  
  The food there hasn't changed since the new management came into effect. You can still buy a deep friend potato covered in Southern fried batter mix for 30p. They also sell scallops and will put one into a burger bap with salad for 1.20.
  
  After the pubs turn out the place comes alive. Despite being open all day, it always seems busiest at pub kicking out times. The portion sizes are large and the service is very fast. There is often a crowd of people waiting for chips and kebabs and another crowd eating away at their food outside.
  
  In 1997 my brother caught Salmonella after eating from Shirley Kebab House. My family is pretty sure that it was this establishment that caused. At home we were very hygienic and careful people when it came to food.
  
  If you want to eat in this establishment, then I would ask the management what their hygiene rating is. If it is lower than 2 stars then I'd probably go elsewhere. There is a lot of competition in the area.

  Don't let the title fool you, there is a wide range of meals offered at this popular kebab house. From fish and chips to traditional Indian food but this fast food take out is well known for its kebabs. They even serve salads! The food is just what you might want after a night out. The service is good especially as it can get busy on Friday and Saturday nights.
  A personal favourite is the Chicken Tikka wrap; tender chicken tikka chunks on a salad bed that is wrapped in a large and soft nan bread with sweet chilli sauce or a creamy mint sauce. There are other sauces you can choose from such as mint chutney. All food and drinks are reasonably priced.
  The location is ideally located on the high street, which makes it easy for anyone to go to.
