Mother’s Day is Sunday 15 March 2026 — which means you’ve got very little time to sort a booking. We’ve done the hard part for you. Here are the best places in Walsall to take Mum for a meal she’ll actually remember, from a lavish Indian feast to a relaxed South Indian brunch experience.
🌸 Shimla Peppers — 10% Off This Mother’s Day
91–92 Ablewell Street (entrance via Town Hill), Walsall WS1 2AP 📞 01922 640 605 | shimlapepperswalsall.co.uk
If you want to treat Mum properly — somewhere with a great atmosphere, a full bar, and food that will genuinely impress — Shimla Peppers is the move. Walsall’s most celebrated Indian restaurant has been doing this since 1978, and they know how to make a table feel like an occasion.
This Mother’s Day (15 March), Shimla Peppers are offering 10% off your entire bill — dine in or takeaway — when you quote MUM10 at the time of booking. It’s a straightforward discount on everything, including food and drinks.
Why Mums Love It
The balcony seating is a hit. There’s something about sitting above the street with a cocktail and a spread of dishes arriving at the table that makes any occasion feel properly special. The menu covers the full range of Punjabi and North-Indian cooking — tandoori grills, slow-cooked curries, fresh breads — and the staff are genuinely warm and attentive.
For a group Mother’s Day celebration (grandma, aunties, the whole lot), they have a private function space that can accommodate larger parties. Worth calling ahead to discuss if you’re bringing more than eight people.
Don’t miss: The Afghani Malai Tikka to start, the Lamb Karahi as a main, and a garlic naan for the table.

☕ Chaii Dosa — A Different Kind of Mother’s Day Treat
If your mum is the kind of person who’d rather try something new than go somewhere predictable, Chaii Dosa in Walsall is an excellent choice. South Indian food — proper dosas, excellent chai, genuine comfort food — is still relatively rare in this part of the world, which makes it feel like a discovery rather than just another meal out.
It’s a particularly good choice if Mum is vegetarian or if you’re feeding a mixed group with different dietary preferences. South Indian food is naturally plant-forward, and the menu at Chaii Dosa means vegetarians aren’t stuck choosing between two uninspiring options.
Our suggestion: Start with chai and vada, share a couple of different dosas, and finish with a mango lassi. It’s an easy, relaxed meal that doesn’t feel rushed — ideal if you want to sit and talk rather than move through courses quickly.
Practical Tips for Mother’s Day Dining in Walsall
Book in advance. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. Even if you’re planning a casual meal, call or message ahead — walk-ins are much harder to accommodate on this particular Sunday.
Consider takeaway. Both Shimla Peppers and Chaii Dosa offer takeaway and collection. If Mum would rather eat at home in her pyjamas watching something on TV (honestly, a legitimate option), you can still bring her something special. Shimla Peppers’ Mother’s Day 10% discount applies to takeaway orders too — just quote MUM10.
Think about the whole day. If you’re planning a full day out, Walsall town centre and the Arboretum are both worth a visit before dinner. The Arboretum is particularly lovely in March when the first spring flowers are coming through.
