Balti Triangle fans are in for a treat as the brand new 2009 Balti Triangle Birmingham Guide hits the streets. The 48 page Guide is packed full of fascinating and useful information on everything the UK’s premier Balti destination has to offer, from restaurant and retail reviews to ‘cook your own’ recipes and discount vouchers for some of the local food and retail outlets. You can also find out where Balti originated and what Birmingham’s celebrities enjoy eating on a night out! To celebrate the launch of this Guide, Birmingham City Council held a reception for the local community at Al Faisal’s Piazzo Italian Restaurant, on 4th June. This will be followed by the Guide’s national launch at the BBC Summer Good Food Show at the National Exhibition Centre on 10th June. The Balti Triangle Guide is supported by Birmingham City Council’s Tornado Recovery Programme, a major economic initiative set up to rejuvenate the Sparkbrook area following the natural disaster in 2005. The fund has offered assistance to over 200 businesses in the area through Business Security and Land and Property improvement grants, as well as providing marketing support, improved street amenities and community events. Councillor Neville Summerfield, Birmingham City Council Cabinet Member for Regeneration, said: “The Balti Triangle is known around the world for its vibrant,lively atmosphere - I particularly want to celebrate the underlying resilience and strength of the area, and it’s people and businesses. As this Guide shows, Birmingham’s Balti Triangle is offering a really different experience for visitors that just can’t be experienced anywhere else”.
