Andy says: “There are some very good restaurants in places like the Balti Triangle around Sparkhill. Just because they are cheaper than Lasan doesn’t make the quality any less.

“The balti is a unique style of cooking and not the dish itself, so Mr Islam’s argument is poor. There is a real bit of snobbery involved.
