And there are exotic delights - this is the land of the Curry Mile, where spicy Baltis and aromatic spices scent the air and enticing restaurants offer a beguiling choice of delights. Explore the diverse cuisines of Southern India - the dishes of Kerala, Goa and Andhra Pradesh are cooked to perfection at the award winning Coconut Lagoon in Birmingham.
