Cuisine: Asian

Banana Tree Birmingham Bullring pulls off something the city's pan-Asian scene rarely manages: the kitchen is entirely halal, and the bar still pours cocktails all evening. That one combination changes who can sit at the table: the friend ordering a Long Island Iced Tea and the friend who never would can share one menu, and neither has to compromise. Hence its standing as a big…
