The 47 best spots for quick eats in Birmingham

The service was great, place is nice but the food sadly isn't great. The boa buns lacked flavour and they were lukewarm at best. Not sure what the fuss is about. They were nice but that's about it nothing great with a lack of flavour to them. The pork belly was the best one the beef shin was totally tasteless.

We popped in here for a quick snack . After being greeted warmly we were ushered upstairs. Apart from bao bubs there were also rice dishes too. I had the pork belly with cured yolk and a side of bokchoy and mushrooms For drinks I chose the shaghai which packed a lot of punch! The flavours were incredible and would have tried more if were not eating later on! We did share a sorbet trio of strawberry, coconut and pineapple. Delicious. Overall good service just wish the side of bokchoy had more mushrooms and was less pricy for that it was

I’ve been a big fan of TBP since their days near New Street Station — they were my go-to lunch spot, and I always looked forward to visiting. I’ve only been to the new location twice, and unfortunately, both visits left me a bit disappointed. The first time, the chicken didn’t smell quite right, and the second time, the rice was undercooked. I even brought friends along for the second visit, and they shared the same experience with the rice. That said, I do appreciate that the team made adjustments to the bill, which shows they care about customer satisfaction. I still love TBP’s food — you can tell each ingredient is prepared with care. I’m hopeful that our next visit will be more in line with the quality I remember from their original spot.

The most amazing Red Braised Pork Belly, It quite literally melts in your mouth, highly recommend the sweet and sour pork side dish, the most succulent pork I have ever tasted, and seasoned perfectly. Highly recommend for all occasions, nice atmosphere and lovely service!!!

I cannot even begin to describe how good the rice bowls are here, genuinely the the best. I make sure I visit each time I visit the town centre. Cannot wait to come back, best pork ever hands down! ***EDIT*** The above review was at the old location. This new location has ruined what made it so special. The food itself doesn't seem the same, smaller portions, less meat, less pickled veg, no nut sauce... Everything that was good about it feels to have gone... after being an avid support of TBP, I feel there's no longer a reason to come here. Sad. You can even see the difference in the photos of the rice bowls instantly.

We found this place by chance, but had seen it come up in a recent list of good Asian food places in the city. We intended to go for a meal but thought we would have a starter here before we moved on. Enticed by the menu, we ordered a few things and we were really impressed by what was delivered. Great flavour and texture in every dish. We will definitely return and recommend it. The atmosphere let it down but really it is an in and out joint.

Superb Bao, the pork belly, beef shin, duck and lamb were all amazing. (Vegan is available) . Really close to the centre. Not far from pigeon park. Nice cocktails and beers also.

One of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Food came out piping hot, with crispy skin on the outside and juicy inside, best combo with waffle fries. The place and its decor also has a lot of character.

Bloody amazing! Soft juicy chicken, whether that’s wings, tenders or burger. Delicious seasoning, waffle fries were lovely too. Really friendly staff and great vibe, loved everything about Bonehead. Thank you for looking after us 💪🏽

Boneheaded is the best fried chicken I have ever had. Period. I honestly can’t emphasise enough how much I love this place. Love the atmosphere and the moody decor; staff are always quick to hand and attentive; food is outstanding - cooked perfectly and incredibly well seasoned. Check out the pictures, they speak for themselves. My go to is the buffalo soldier doubled up with cinema waffle fries (not pictured). It’s walk in only, and 100% worth a visit, repeatedly! Don’t skip this place if in Birmingham, you’ll regret it!

Me and my son visited Birmingham as we were down for the Back To The Beginning Black Sabbath concert, we headed to Bonehead the night before. WOW what a place, some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The waffle fries were amazing too. The food was only topped by the incredible atmosphere, and the friendly and helpful staff who couldn't have done any more for us.....if I could squeeze another star in I would 🤘😀🤘

Bonehead is a place we’ve always wanted to visit. There was a short 20 min wait to enter, but we were expecting longer, so we were more than happy to wait. After 15 mins o got a text to say the table is ready. My partner ordered the thighs & tots and was very impressed with the meal. I thought her portion size was great too. I had the Bonehead Burger & Katsu Tots, and in the end I was a little jealous of my partners order instead. The burger was good, I wasn’t overly keen on some of the flavours of the sauce on the burger. I thought the Katsu sauce was a little sweet & not even on the tots, just a dollop underneath the garnish. Overall i thought it was okay. If I was to come back I’d 100% get the thighs on their own as it’s not only a bigger potion, but cheaper too. I’d also go for a different flavour tots. The gravy was really nice too. The interior was a bit of me, and I really liked the playlist too.

Best chicken burger (and probably best chicken) I’ve ever had. Super juicy, tender and flavourful, and came in nicely sized portions. The waffle fries are super crispy and delicious too. It does get very busy but it’s well worth the little extra wait.

Great service and top music! I had the hothead wings and hothead thigh and leg, juicy and crispy...but could have done with more heat. If you are a Nashville Hot Chicken aficionado, ask for some extra heat on your bird. I would certainly recommend.

I ordered a pulled pork burrito from Habaneros today, and the experience was incredibly disappointing. The cheese had an off taste, which completely ruined the meal. Several colleagues who also ordered agreed that something was not right. For a place that is always busy for lunch, this was unacceptable. Quality control needs serious improvement—I won’t be returning anytime soon.

Ben and Carl brought the Haberno’s street van to serve fantastic burritos for our wedding anniversary party last month. All the guests said how fabulous the food was. Fresh, tasty, generous portions, with great choice of sauces and extras. They made it all happen, great service, plus a very reasonable way to feed 120 people a delicious meal! So glad we booked them. We highly recommend!

Extremely popular venue with a busy lunch rush most days. Decent value for money, not massive burrito but definetly decent sized. Felt like it’s a bit overrated though, the meat was not that flavourful and spicy sauces lacking a decent kick. Was decent but not worth the hype. Mostly takeaway only. Will note service is extremely quick which is good, but wonder if it is affecting quality.

Our office come here a few times a week food is always great, Our hump day go to! korean pulled pork 🤌🏿 There is a queue but don't let that put you off-its fast and the food IS worth it!! Unfortunately this week (Wed) it comes down to a staff/service issue when it gets to the final part of getting the food the sauce and packing bit, the chap is rude & impolite ,which we have come to expect but this week it was next level (in comparison to the other staff who were great!) Plus burrito was very poorly wrapped so most of our office have switched to the rice box and homemade nachos which are definitely worth a try! Other than that its efficient & delicious , highly recommended

Visited last Wednesday with office colleagues and Lets start with I’m a first time customer, so the menu is new to me and it looks fab! A lot to choose from which is nice ,had a lovely lady serve me to take my order and while I was deciding she was interrupted and spoken over by her colleague as I wasn’t making my choice quick enough! It made the whole experience very overwhelming and I was embarrassed to witness on her behalf as it then continued while she served the following customers . BUT once past the initial part (where they put in the hot fillings)the tension reduced as the servers at this station were calm and friendly ! I had a great choice in salad ,all very fresh and lots of sauce options. In general the food (I went for a burrito) was fab , I would personally myself try and go at a quieter time as so I wouldn’t feel like an inconvenience .

Great little spot in the city center, been a frequent visitor since the van . chicken tinger seems to have changed of a recent-rubbery- hopefully a short term thing, there’s been a bout of new staff over the last few weeks which has been a pleasant change very friendly ,helpful and make a great burrito! Recommend the homemade nachos and the roasted veg

I love this place. It's really well located within the Great Western Arcade near Colmore Row. My go-to here is the burrito bowl. All the flavour and taste of burrito minus the wrap. I highly recommend getting the beef, it melts in your mouth. My photo just doesn't do it justice!! Service is great, they're friendly and fast.

Went in today to order a salad however once I paid they realised they didn't have the ingredients. They asked what else I'd like so chose a soup and half a sandwich and was not disappointed - it was absolutely delicious. They didn't charge me extra for the change, and the service was lovely. Thank you!

Great deli with a good variety of specialist goodies. We came here to pick up Spanish cheese, Iberico and Serrano ham, as we're not permitted to bring it from Spain now. Friendly service, I spent a fortune, but have no way of knowing whether it's more expensive than other places, as it's all about availability for the moment. Some of the other fine foods and wine/whisky stores in the arcade make it a fabulous place to shop for that special occasion.

A good charcuterie should be comfortable. Anderson & Hill, like Lichfield’s Cheese Cavern maximises the floor and ceiling space. Filling it with a raft of delights to nibble, snack and gorge on. At the checkout there is a beautiful display of meats, cheeses and antipasto. Being a lover of cheese, the accommodating patron assisted me in choosing my cheese. The cheese was thoughtfully packaged and cut to my preferred size. A Relaxed and enjoyable experience.

I've heard of this place and I have only recently had the chance to go here regularly. These are hands down the best sandwiches in city centre and they're priced very well for city centre prior warning though this place sells out and once they're done they're done. I'll keep on visiting; but they have to start doing coffee here then I'll have no excuse to use another shop!

I've never really been to such a 'select' location as this. My girl took me there. It reminded initially, due to the decor, of an upper class general store from the early Victorian era and as such I felt entirely out of my comfort zone. I was very wrong. It's a great deli with an excellent assortment of food and fine produce from all over the world. I had my girl with her exquisite taste to guide me; but it was relieving to know that the cashier was knowledgeable and more importantly approachable.

Best Sandwich in Birmingham! Been coming here for 10 years! Consistent and impeccable quality. I've already smashed my sandwich so took a pic of the last remaining but lol. Keep it up!

They have a good selection but the staff aren’t familiar with any of their products. It’s really disappointing to see because they have products that usually cannot be found elsewhere but when it is like this it makes us not want to go anymore. We asked for 100 grams of guancale and were given 300 grams and told it was 30 grams… Then we also wanted some pecorino romano cheese and they were not familiar with it, and gave and charged us for something entirely different?

It was an excellent choice to eat here as the food was very delicious, the service was perfect and we had to taste new things for the first time. The atmosphere, however, is a bit of a problem since the restaurant is so small. I'm not tall but yet I felt uncomfortable in the tiny middle table. Albeit that, everything was a delight.

Although the beer choices here were somewhat limited compared to other places, the food did not disappoint. It is a little bit less pub-like and seems more semi-formalish. The food portions were very generous and there was nothing we complained about the taste. Overall a good experience, and the service was very attentive.

I visited Indian Streetery as my last ever meal in Birmingham, before moving away. The food was amazing. The service was spot on. I can’t recommend it enough. Prices are reasonable, especially for a city centre venue with 10/10 meals. The stories linked to each dish on the menu are a nice touch. If I’m ever back in Brum, I’d definitely return for another feast!

All of the staff were so lovely, attentive and knowledgeable. They gave perfect recommendations that definitely didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing and so were the cocktails! Would definitely come again!

This place is so good. Enjoyed all the dishes. We ordered a lot had a nice dinner with Jitesh. Staff was very cooperative.

Solid Indian fare - serving full dishes and Tapas small plates, which I found to be quite large! I would have liked a few more peas and cheese in the Mutter Paneer but only because the sauce was so beautifully tasty, and I wanted it to take longer to eat! The Roti selections were interesting and good and the Yellow Dhal was totally authentic. I didn't need the 'third plate' which was recommended, maybe because I was disappointed by the lack of pakora and far too much Chaat. My mistake really. The Mango IPA beer complemented the food perfectly.

I had a very very disappointing experience at The Indian Streatery. The glasses were not clean, and the pakora chaat we ordered had burnt pakoras with only one pakora and sev, which spoiled the taste. The girl serving us showed attitude right from the moment we entered the restaurant. On top of that, the food was not fulfilling or satisfying. Overall, it was not a pleasant visit, and I hope the management improves both the food quality and customer service.

The atmosphere at Damascena is truly amazing — such a pleasant and welcoming vibe. Special thanks to Bardia, who is extremely helpful and supportive, always guiding with food choices — I can’t say enough about how great the service is. The food is delicious and very diverse; I’ve tried different wraps, sandwiches, and shawarmas, and really enjoyed them all. Sometimes the dishes are a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall the variety and quality are excellent. The place itself is lovely, the only downside is that the parking space is quite limited.

Beautiful locals in the center of town. You maybe lucky to find parking locally, but there's motorcycling parking right next to it. We were seated quickly with and the atmosphere is lovely inside and out. On good days there is seating outside. There's lots of drinks and food options which was a nice surprise. The menu has a fair number of vegetarian options available. Food arrived quickly and was nicer than I expected. It's a nice place to come to sadly the staff really need a moral boost. I understand it can get busy but a friendly demeanor would make the place that much more welcoming. All in all I'd be looking to pop by again. ENJOY.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the warm smells of their chai spices. We were looking for a late night hot drink and Damascena was the perfect place for a karak chai. Whilst enjoying our delicious hot drinks, we had a look at their food menu and knew we had to come back. The next morning, we feasted on their manakeesh and fuul that reminded us of our warm homes. Compliments to chef and the very kind staff. We will definitely return to our local, far-away coffee house on our next visit to Birmingham.

What a unique place to have dinner! Spiced Chai Latte was absolutely amazing, salad was fresh, tahini kofta and pickled veggies were very flavourful. I also tried three different pastries, all of them were very lovely. As coming from the country where there are no Middle Eastern restaurants, I’ve really enjoyed the experience and will definitely come back once I’m in the UK.

Cosy and friendly. Staff banter was 10/10, main menu had good selection and really tasty. Ginger, lemon and honey tea would recommend. Baklava was not to our personal taste but enjoyable still (my friend prefers it sweeter).

I don’t know usually leave reviews but this place was phenomenal. From the Food to the Hospitality, everything was perfect. I came during lunch hour so it was quite busy, but was seated quite rapidly, the waiters were working efficiently and calmly despite lunch rush. I allowed the Waiter (Umar) to give me a recommendation of the house special, and it was one of the greatest meals I’ve had in a while. The cost was appropriate for the location and atmosphere. Umar did an amazing job taking care of us despite the restaurant being busy, he was highly respectful and attentive towards us and is clearly a phenomenal worker. Will be visiting soon again.

The Service was fantastic for a Saturday evening without booking to seat 7 of us at short notice, and the quality of the food was fantastic halloumi fries 10/10 multiple flavours of shakes all deliciously indulgent. If your in the area please do try, you won't regret it 😉 Many thanks guys 10/10 "will visit again"

This place is ought to provide high-quality service and food since the prices are fairly high. I have order a burger with loaded fries and a drink: these all have costed me over £20. While I did really enjoy the fries (they were crispy and there was plenty of them), the burger did not meet my entire expectations. As the name of the establishment suggests that they specialise in food like burgers, I expected the burger to be a bit bigger and more juice since it felt quite dry and not much flavour containing. However, if you fancy to eat decent quality junk food beyond the most famous brands and willing to pay for this - The Meat Shack is the place to give a visit. I liked the cutlery options and the atmosphere with a lot of graffiti on the walls. Nothing special about the service, though they show a respectful enough treatment. You are also asked to wait at the entrance until they find a free table for you. Overall, it is OK. Nothing shocked nor impressed me.

I love the paintings on the wall, pretty cool and interesting. The staff and music are great. The food I would say not as good as I expected. It’s good, just not that good. The salt and pepper chicken bombs are nice. The burger has lots of sauce included, which is nice. But the meat are not juicy, doesn’t looks like fresh cooking but reheated. Overall, it’s nice place to have a quick bite but don’t expect too much.

Go here. The Meat Shack serves good tasting burgers, nice fries and tasty beer. The two of us went here for a mid week meal and enjoyed the food and the beer. The buns were soft but didn’t instantly fall apart when touching the beef. The meat was tasty and cooked to my liking. The serving staff were friendly and nice. The fries were a little expensive but you can’t have burger without fries so hey ho. The venue had a cool vibe with good graffiti on the walls and good music. The atmosphere rating took a hit on here because of a large group with 4 or 5 kids getting bored and racing around.

Wow I was blown away by the Meat Shack! I am a big chicken fan and this place really exceeded expectations. I found it on Google maps, looked like my kind of thing, was quite a trek mind, totally worth it though. Don't know where to start, the small chicken plates, the messy fries, fries were all incredible. Sauces were wild, dressing was perfect, everything was so well presented, everything was red hot, everything tasted amazing. Service was fast and friendly, place is clean and buzzing. Highly recommended, I can't wait to go back.

Great food, good experience but not quite perfect. Went to The Meat Shack and ordered a feast, which was more than two people could eat. The burgers are excellent, thick beef patties and quality ingredients make an absolute feast of a meal. However the trays the burgers arrive in are a bit fiddly and make the eating experience messier than it needs to be. The dirty fries are nice, but next time, I'd order plain fries to contrast better with the burger. Good value and would recommend. 4 stars

Fantastic place to have a burger, probably one of the best burgers in brum. Juicy and well seasoned with many different varieties. Quick and nice service!

Great menu, great atmosphere, great staff, great vibe. Staff were friendly and welcoming. There is a relaxed atmosphere here but customer service is excellent as is the food. The menu is interesting and what I chose was of excellent quality as was the choice of my colleague. I'd happily eat here again.

You love pizza? You haven't lived until you've had a P2 from Otto! The service is impeccable and the team are so friendly! Super clean and crisp environment with a great chilled vibe and the most amazing pizza you will ever taste!

It’s just so good! Sets the standard for excellent pizzas, lovely people and good drinks. It’s a cut above the chain sourdough pizza places and I love the relaxed vibe. Have probably been 5 times all in all and never been disappointed. A mix of groups, couples, families all catered for really well. Oh also a great selection of vegetarian options that are the norm rather than an afterthought. Really highly recommended. The pizza oven is very big and a nice feature too!

Good pizza, welcoming and nice staff, 100% recommend. We went there as a group of 3 and had a great time. We booked through their website a table so there was no waiting time.

Delicious food. It is rather pricey, the pizzas and breads are cooked to perfection. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Free on street parking after 6pm on the side roads.

We came here to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and it was just delicious! Absolutely loved the pizzas! The dough was so moreish! Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely birthday dinner. Pizza is perfect specially the white pizza. We all enjoy so much with their intimate service

Honestly amazing! I love this place. Gorgeous, fresh pizzas. Attentive and welcoming staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this little gem. Hennie Goodman

I’m sad to report that this was a distinctly underwhelming experience. My daughter and I decided to pop in for an afternoon drink and a pastry. We normally go to EL&N, however their recent food hygiene rating has put us off, so we thought we’d try somewhere new. Firstly, the general ambience is rather grubby and downmarket: the tables were tacky, the singular a toilet an afterthought and everywhere looked like it needed a good scrub. We had to wait for a table (no problem), however it was almost impossible to catch anyone’s eye, so the whole process was unclear. When we were seated, we were given some rather tired and shabby menus which immediately adhered themselves to the surface of the table. Not to be deterred, we made our choice from the limited selection of pastries and cakes available. I chose the passionfruit cruffin which had seen better days and was still dripping in cooking fat. It was far from the light and delicate laminated pastries that I have tried at artisan bakeries and I felt rather let down. We noticed that the general atmosphere was unfriendly, I suspect that this was partly due to the staff’s fantastic ability to avoid eye contact at all times. Even my daughter noted that she had not seen a single member of waiting staff actually smile during the entirety of our visit. Needless to say, we won’t be returning.

TLDR: I’d only recommend this place if you’re getting a pastry from the front. Long wait times (45+ mins) + no cooling system = not a great place to dine in. Came here twice and had very different experiences. When a friend and I grabbed a pastry from the front, we were served and seated right away, even moving to a booth when requested. The atmosphere was great and the interior is very aesthetic and appealing for social media. No complaints here. When I came alone a few months later to order brunch, I had a 2/5 experience. First, it took around 5-10 minutes to be seated with no acknowledgment of the long wait time, even with several moments of eye contact with staff who didn’t seem very rushed, though this can be overlooked. Second, I waited over 45 minutes for my food (not a guess or overestimate) without acknowledgment of any sort. There was a period of around 15 minutes where nothing came out of the kitchen (I had a direct view of where the food exited). During this wait time, it was increasingly apparent how uncomfortable the space was. There was no AC and the building has no windows to open. The only cooling system was a single fan, and with the many skylights, the restaurant felt like a greenhouse. Literally outside the restaurant was cooler than inside and that’s not an exaggeration. The food itself was alright. I ordered the harissa benedict and the only qualm I have with it was that the eggs were almost hard boiled and not runny at all. There was a lot of chorizo on it and the mushrooms were great, however I don’t think I’d pay £14 for it again.

A lovely brunch, but nothing special. We ordered the granola bowl, some toast and some bakes to take home. The sourdough was lovely (although the jam alongside is just a jar, not homemade), and the bowls were okay, albeit quite lacking on the fruit. The bakes we took home were really disappointing. The biscoff cruffin had no biscoff 😅 and the chocolate chip cookie was completely tasteless. The setting itself was lovely, a great spot to meet for a coffee.

I love medicine bakery so I was chuffed to find it open on new street just a walk away from the office! Lunch was delicious! I was excited to have my usual fried chicken but they ran out!!??? Shockkkkk! But hey I got to try something new and went for Turkish eggs! Delicious and very healthy. Lovely space and atmosphere! There are individual tables and sharing tables so make a note of what you want on your booking if you’re fussy!

Delicious food! Mike served us today he was a really chilled guy, was really understanding when I returned the matcha drink I didn’t like- I got the iced chai latte and it was AMAZING! Would come back again

First time here for breakfast . Very smart place in the mailbox Birmingham. Menu good with lots of lovely choices. My choice-sausage brioche with a side of hash brown. Very tasty. 😁 Rooibos tea. ☕️ Group of four. Made reservations but not really needed. Good service. Comfy seats. Nice clean space. Bakery section cakes etc looked amazing and took selection home 🤣🤣👏 There are other locations in the city 😁 Toilets nice and clean. Child friendly. Disabled friendly. Wheelchair access. Nice smart breakfast/ brunch spot. Recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Been a few times and usually really enjoy, bit of a shame the food wasn't as good today. I had the vegan brunch with an added poached egg which was more water than egg. My partner had the regular brunch, both of our hash browns felt a bit undercooked. But drinks were lovely and we've been before for pastries which were delicious!

The burger was something special. The patty was properly grilled but still juicy. The hot sauce was mildly spicy (good if you have weak tolerance) and tasted a bit bitter at first but developed a fruity flavor later. The fries had coleslaw on top and tasted as you would expect.

Great find, we were after somewhere to eat before going to a festival. OPM turned out to be a great choice. Good selection of burgers and some other options, a few beers to choose from. You can also get beer from the bar next door too.

Slightly off the beaten track location but well worth the visit. Staff and service was friendly and helpful, the American staff member is probably the most hospitable person in Birmingham! Margaritas are a MUST try 9.9/10 Food was 9.5/10 and we had the beef burger, tofu burger and loaded fries plus slaw. Slaw wasn’t the best we’ve had but everything else was delicious! First tofu burger that was super crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and not dry!!! Nice selection of soft drinks as well plus a specials board worth looking at (planning to come back for the cauliflower wings) Definitely worth the trek 🤤

I consider myself as a regular at OPM but when I visited it at 11.06.2025 around 7pm, I think I won’t be anymore. I sat outside because the weather was quite lovely. Tables were a mess, all dirt and leftovers. Nobody came to take our orders nor clean the table for 15 minutes. When I walked inside, waitress in the bar took my order, said that I should pay in advance because I’m outside and didn’t even bother to come and clean up. Patty was really dry and chewy and their special crunchy wings were just sloppy. All around terrible.

Friendly and welcoming staff, delicious burgers (and chicken), fries were good too. Thoroughly recommend if you're in the mood for some unhealthy but delicious food.

nice quick service by a lovely girl, seated soon as we walked in, got great table service, the fries were excellent and the spice mix was just right, succullent burger worth every penny, will visit again

I’ve been here before several years ago and definitely remember it being better. That, or because so many independent & chain American smash burger places have opened, that I’m comparing to them. The market is now saturated for this type of food and unfortunately OPM does not cut it. The burgers are dense overcooked patties, and didn’t even seem to be decent quality beef. The menu was small, I think 3 or 4 beef burgers (for a place that’s got patty in the name), other than fries there were only 2 side options and one of them was coleslaw. Mediocre food quality and taste, and a fairly long wait.

First time at this place. I was impressed. The decor along with the food and plating all came together superbly. Good attention to detail. Amritsari Fish was the star of the show. Butter chicken was not great but I’ve had worse. Overall great experience, well done to the owners and the staff for making this a great place to visit when I’m in Birmingham.

An atmospheric and stylish eatery not far from Moseley village. Delicious food & drink and really cool Indian street ambience. The High Chai is fantastic, with a lovely variety of tasty dishes and delicious teas. Well worth a visit.

We have found our new favourite Indian restaurant in Birmingham! Food is authentic and absolutely delicious. Definitely among the best Indian food we tried in Birmingham. Cozy ambience and reasonable prices make it a perfect spot for memorable meal. We will surely visit again.

Absolutely loved our experience at Zindiya in Moseley! The moment we stepped in, it brought back memories of Delhi — the ambiance, the aroma, everything felt so authentic and vibrant. We tried a variety of dishes, from the gunpowder aloo chaat to chole bhature, and each one was a standout in its own right — full of flavour, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. A special shoutout to the samosa filled with gajar halwa for dessert — such a creative and delicious twist that ended our meal on a high note! A big thank you to Shivam and Divyansha, who served us with such warmth and humility. Their friendly nature and attentive service truly made our visit memorable. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for real Indian flavours and heartfelt hospitality. Can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing funky eatery with great food and drinks. A real authentic feel. Balance of flavour and spice to cater for all.

The food was amazing, as always. The service was wonderful. Atmosphere was not as lovely as it has been on the past, but I think we went at a quiet time…. Overall we had a great time, and would definitely come again!

I visited Zindiya for dinner as I was in Birmingham for one night and they are a top 5 Indian restaurant on Time Out. I was warmly welcomed and Lavlesh gave fantastic service helping me navigate the menu and just being all round lovely. The food was amazing; full of flavour and a brilliant selection of street food. They also had a fantastic selection of drinks with craft beer on tap. The place itself has a cool atmosphere. It was quiet when I visited but it was a Sunday night. I suspect if you come on a Friday or Saturday night it will be very lively. Whilst I ate there was a very steady flow of take out orders which says a lot. All in all a fantastic restaurant. I would highly recommend and visit again. Incredibly good value too.

Popped in for a quick bite as we were staying at the Holiday Inn for a night and this restaurant was a brief 5 minutes walk away. We booked for 5pm and there were 3 of us. Two of us had pizzas and one had nachos. We shared garlic bread a portion of tater tots. Service was swift and server was friendly, we were seated at a long table with benches, only downside was the noise from the tables either side, totally just a me issue though. Food was really good, fresh, hot and huge portions. Cost was reasonable £14 for the pizzas and £12 for nachos. All in all I would recommend a visit.

Had a salad. I know, really let the side down on this one. But my friend said her pizza was delicious! (Actually she said one of the best she's had in Birmingham, but I can't verify because... salad). But I'll tell you what, if you like garlic bread, THIS garlic bread is unreal. We need it mass producing please.

Great servers. Amazing gluten free food. Top notch ciders. We could do with this in London. Absolutely amazing no non sense food with a. Great vibe. Highly recommend to vegans and gluten free, soy free people everywhere

One of the best pizza we've ever had. Watched it down with a couple if Stable IPA. Very refreshing and crispy. Staff, I couldn't fault, all were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Even thanked us for coming when we left. Would definitely visit again.

The pizza is tasty, thin and crispy if that's your vibe, and there's a good range of toppings options. The service was a bit chaotic as it was very busy in there! Because you have to order via QR code the food arrives at different times, and because you've paid in advance there's no time to sit and relax after you've finished your meal. Sadly I didn't get the dip I ordered, and wasn't able to ask a waiter about this because they were so rushed off their feet! A shame because if this meal was a little slower and quieter, and if there was a bit more human interaction, I'm sure I would have loved it!

Pizza was incredible. The vegan option was great for my friend. Highly recommend keeping it simple and enjoying the dough/crust. The cider sampler was fun! Great spot for our visit to the city.

I walked in here just a couple of minutes before boarding a train from Birmingham new street and was very much In the mood for pizzas. I was a little worried about how long it might take and they didn’t disappoint. I got the BFC which tasted amazing alongside a lovely drink made by Becky . The thin crust pizzas are just gorgeous and your should definitely try!

Visited the event at Warwick Castle. Great event with a wide variety of food and drink stands. However limited choice if you have an allergy especially a gluten allergy. You do have to pay for your ticket and then the food when you are there including drinks, which does make it an expensive evening out.

Visited DDC at the waterfront on Friday evening. Lots to choose from and a good atmosphere. We decided on: Deathrow sandwich 1 beef sandwich 1 spicy chicken sandwich Both with fries. Yardbirds Yardbird burger with fries Disco fries Tikka Turner fries Flat donut Cinnamon dusted We also had a few beers at Booze. All the food was great but loses a star as I do think its overpriced for what you get. That wouldn't stop me returning to future events though as I do like the variety of vendors and overall atmosphere of DDC.

Fantastic street food setup! A great way to discover new cuisines and try different street food establishments. I love that it promotes a variety of cuisines and always gets such a great turnout. Definitely the best place to go for street food in the Midlands. I attended the one held at Coventry cathedral ruins, which had a great array of vendors, a DJ and a lovely cathedral back drop. Had some amazing street food from Cleopatra's Kitchen Solihull (best middle Eastern food I've eaten) and beef on the block (beautifully cooked tender melt in the mouth steak).

DDC at Warwick Castle, 12th September 2025. First time attending. Ok-ish selection of food vendors and went there with an appetite and an equal high expectation. However, what realy, really let it down was simply not enough places to sit. That, I feel is a cynical way for the organisers to 'keep people moving'. The seating that was available and unoccupied had been ruthlessly colonised in the same way people put towels on deck chairs. I don't mind paying a lot of money for good, plentiful, tasty food - of which I am sure there was available last night - but faced with paying £14 for a Biryani and having to stand up and eat it...........nah, sorry. Not happening. So, I finished the single £6.50 pint of lager I purchased and went back into town to sit down and eat there. Won't be attending this one again. Total outlay including admission = £14.50. Total time on site = 37 mins. Waste of money really.

Well organised. Parking is paid but plentiful. Park was constantly being monitored to clear up litter. Great choice of food & drink. Some long queues (especially for the toilets!!). Great for kids & taking your well behaved dogs. Weather was fab which always helps

Really cool experience, £2 entry fee and 3 bars with different themes/music. The food trucks/stalls change all the time and they list the changes online. You don't need cash, most of the stalls take card. Really enjoyed ourselves will definitely visit next time we're in Birmingham again.

Had a fantastic afternoon here. My toddler merrily dances away to the music, the atmosphere was incredible. We ate nearly everywhere between us and shared it all, this was our list of vendors in favourite order: 1. Urban Cheesecake - terrys chocolate orange with brownie bits. Quite literally out of this world. 2. Only Jerkin - jerk chicken and fries 3. Jade Rabbit - chicken in a cone (just wow) 4. Disco Fries - pizza one is really good 5. Whatever the pizza one was there. 6. Patty Freakz - unfortunately did disappoint the patty was burnt.

In the city centre setting you can enjoy true authentic Italian style Pizza freshly made. Opted for Apolo or something along those lines it was called pizza had blend of veg/chicken with fat chips. Good tasted amazing isn’t the first time I been here, definitely place I’d recommend when in city centre setting- Sold 10/10 🌟

This is my favourite spot whenever I start missing Italy, I’ve been coming here for years and the food never disappoints from their delicious pizzas to their tasty kebabs, there’s something for everyone. What makes this place stand out is their authentic halal tiramisu, which is so rare to find, and absolutely amazing. They also serve fresh, healthy juices that are just as good as the food. Beyond the quality dishes, the staff truly make the experience even better. I’ve been served by Fatima and Mahmoud, who were both wonderful, but everyone here is always so kind and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, variety, and a good environment

I had the half chicken and rice which was very nice. The salad wasn’t the best and also the lentil soup was not offered to me until the end, however it was nice when it did come. Service in general was good and I would like to come back and try the pizza

They made us happy all the time. They have got best options as well. Love to be here for their delicious platters and pizzas.As of today i tried the lentil soup which is complimentary was so tasty. Thank you all for your service.#mohammmadandanna

Every time I come to have lunch or dinner with my daughter or alone, I always find that the seating area clean. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and staffs show promptness in taking orders and serving food, maintaining cleanliness, and addressing customer needs and concerns with professionalism and courtesy.

This is definitely now one of my favourite restaurants. The pizza made with their wood over has such a unique taste that it just takes over my taste buds. Their menu is specialised and although it doesn't have 10 000 things, the items they have there, they get the absolutely correct every time. Their music selection is great and gives the restaurant such a pleasant atmosphere. There is so much sitting space. Special mention to Mahmoud and one of the young black ladies who wears glasses that served me, forgot to ask for her name. Such a positive atmosphere. I will be back countless times

I always have a wonderful experience at La Vera! Fatima delivers excellent customer service — she’s always smiling, friendly, and genuinely happy to help. Her warm attitude makes me feel very welcomed every time I visit. The rest of the staff are also professional, attentive, and helpful. It’s always a pleasure dining here!

After more than ten years of regularly lunching and dining at this restaurant — over at least 150 visits by my count — I am disheartened to say that tonight’s dinner was the worst experience I’ve ever had here. I used to be a loyal and satisfied customer, with even my most recent visit last weekend being decent. But what I encountered today was simply unacceptable. The roasted pork was visibly burnt and had a harsh, bitter flavour that overpowered the dish. The stir-fried chives with egg barely contained any chives at all — what few there were had been overcooked beyond recognition, and onions were used as a poor substitute. The dish bore little resemblance to the appealing photo on the menu. To make matters worse, the Chinese tea was stale and unpleasant, with a musty, almost spoiled flavour. The accompanying vegetables were fibrous, yellowed, and extremely difficult to chew or swallow. The only redeeming item was the fried rice, which was just passable. I genuinely hope this was an isolated incident, but unless there is an honest explanation or some acknowledgment of what went wrong, I no longer feel inclined to return. The experience was not only disappointing — it was physically distressing. I had to leave the restaurant before finishing the meal due to an upset stomach, which is something I’ve never experienced here before. For a place I once trusted and frequently recommended, this has been a very unfortunate and upsetting decline.

Came here with four colleagues and we all ordered the four-meat dish with egg fried rice. The service was impressively quick, and it was great to see all the food freshly prepared and cut right in the open kitchen—you can watch everything being made. The food was delicious and generously portioned, especially considering the amount of meat you get. Great value for money!

Rough service, food decent. We ordered several dishes to try: *2 roast with rice *pork hock with rice *lou mei with rice *chives with pigs blood *soup of the day *fried beef ho fun My favorite was chives with pigs blood. It was a nice and tasteful dish. The lou mei was braised nicely, I can deffo taste the lou mei flavour! Soup of the day was nice as well and reminds me of mums soup ☺️. It had dried mushroom and pork ribs. The ho fun was a bit too oily for me. But flavour was good. On the other hand.. the waitresses talks loud, listens to our convos and attention span of a fish. How can one take our order then proceeds to bring us food that we didnt order 🤣. We also didnt want certain duck parts in our lou mei dish. Which she didn't tell the meat chopper until last minute. Meat chopper got annoyed and very loud 💀. I also felt a bit uncomfortable when I hear them repeating what we were talking about. But you get what you paid for. Next time just heads down and eat.

It doesn’t look like much from the front and inside is the same, but what does draw your attention is the traditional roasted meat hanging in the window. I went for the salt and pepper kings prawns with rice and a side of curry sauce. The prawns were freshly cooked and a generous portion. I’m glad I went for curry sauce as it would be a bit dry for my liking otherwise. The 3 or 4 meat roast from Peach Garden is a popular choice and loved by many who say it’s very authentic. If you fancy trying this be aware that the meat isn’t served hot and you will have bones. We also ordered tofu in black bean sauce. It was the soft, sort of eggy like tofu. The stir fried veg was nice and crunchy. It would have benefitted for a little more sauce to go with the good serving of rice you get. Service was efficient and food is served super quickly. You can also order to take away.

I sometimes come here to buy duck to take away, and sometimes we stay to eat at the restaurant because our child really loves the duck here, even though it takes me two hours by train to get here. In the past, the sauce was always served separately, but this time the duck was brought out on two plates with the sauce already poured on. Since our child cannot eat the sauce, I politely asked the man if he could change one plate for us without sauce (especially as they didn’t ask me beforehand about putting the sauce on). However, the man spoke in Vietnamese with unpleasant words and a rude attitude, making it seem as though it was my fault for not saying something earlier. I was only making a simple request, but his manner was very unfriendly. I also don’t know how he translated this to the younger man, but instead of having an enjoyable meal that our family had been looking forward to, we ended up feeling uncomfortable and unable to enjoy the food because of his attitude.

Very good HK style BBQ restaurant. Friendly team. Payment take cash and Chinese RMB. I always get takeaway whenever in Birmingham.

Surely not the best cantonese style cuisines, but truly good enough to worth the quids. Consider trying the succulent roasted duck. Dont forget to bag up the sauce for your home meal next day.

Want great tasting food, no fuss and brilliant service… then this second to none cafe is unmissable!! It would be a mistake to stay in your hotel and not venture out to this flavoursome location!! The service is rapid! Food is served hot!! But the coffee… wow!! The regular flat white is a full cup of coffee… and better tasting than your chain coffee houses!!

I'd give 6 stars if possible. I was seated quickly, served without fuss, my food exceeded expectations and was reasonably priced. Great coffee as well. There's no reason to go to a chain breakfast place in Birmingham over this place, in my opinion. Support independents!

Really enjoyed this cosy little cafe. Right behind the station which is so handy and convenient. It was also conveniently located beside the metro station. There was a queue on the Saturday morning, so beware but the queue moves quickly. Staff are extremely friendly and accommodating and are more particularly friendly to wheelchair users. Would highly recommend this cafe for the staff alone!

Straight after getting off the train at Birmingham New Street yesterday, I popped into Grand Central Kitchen for some breakfast. Gotta say, I’d never had eggs and cheese like that before – absolutely delicious! The staff were so friendly too. Special shout-out to the Iranian girl who was lovely, and the bloke (can’t remember his name!) who recommended some spots for me to check out in Digbeth. Loads of cool places to explore, so thank you both for the tips! To be honest, I was a bit knackered when I came in and probably could’ve done with a nap right there and then. If I hadn’t been so tired, I’d have been even more buzzing about it all, haha. Anyway, cracking little spot – I’ll definitely swing by again next time I’m in Birmingham. Matee, I'm minging. Bloody love yaouw' 🤣

Very nice place to have a breakfast and brunch, warm atmosphere and friendly staffs. The food is also delicous.

Grand Central Kitchen in Birmingham was a bit of a mixed bag, landing squarely at a 3 out of 5 experience for us. It’s a fantastic location, right in the heart of the city with all the buzz of the station, making it a perfect spot for a pre-train coffee or a casual bite. The interior has a great, modern vibe that feels both stylish and welcoming. We were really impressed with the coffee, which was absolutely top-notch—rich, flavourful, and clearly made with care and quality beans. It’s the kind of drink that would easily draw you back on its own merit. The food menu is appealing and our choices were tasty and well-presented when they finally arrived. However, the service was unfortunately where things stumbled. While the staff were perfectly pleasant and apologetic, the wait for both our order to be taken and for our coffee to arrive was significantly longer than it should have been. The restaurant wasn’t at full capacity, which made the delays all the more noticeable. It didn’t ruin our visit, but it did take the shine off what should have been a quick and efficient stop. Ultimately, Grand Central Kitchen has a lot of potential. The core product is excellent, but they need to find a way to streamline their operational flow. We’d pop in again for that excellent coffee, but only if we weren’t in a particular hurry.

We tried the English breakfast (served until late in the afternoon) and it was really tasty and copious. Affordable too, I recommend it.

Popped in not sure what to expect, had a lovely pint and a brilliant curry. Great service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. The nan bread was exquisite. Would definitely recommend

Excellent desi pub within walking distance of Birmingham New St. We were passing through and had a couple of hours so went to the Hen and Chickens and really pleased we did - provides the great combination of real ale, curry and football on Sky! Food and service excellent, definitely recommend the mixed grill (small more than enough for 2 people). Will visit again when in Birmingham.

1st time visit after a long time and no regrets. Friendly and helpful service, the pub/restaurant was clean and very well presented. Food tasted fresh and of good quality, will definitely be coming back to try and update accordingly.

The Hen & Chickens is a popular established tradition pub with a modern twist. It has a very well deserved popular reputation of serving a good selection of quality India food. The venue and atmosphere is very pleasant. Located very close to the city centre the prices are higher than simular tyres of venue outside the area. IMO definitely a must visit if you are in Birmingham City. Enjoy 😊

Amazing food, the small mixed grill is huge. Highly recommended

All that you want from a Desi pub. Felt like a local. Good pint of real ale plus a great mixed grill and curry sauces. More formal space for larger groups.

The food here was incredible and the atmosphere is relaxed. Highly recommend the mixed grill signature dish but everything else that we got was also amazing. Unfortunately have to remove one star as a member of our party was forced to pay for a Guinness that he ordered by accident despite us being a party of 20. DOV: 13/01/2025

This place is amazing! Nestled right in the heart of the city center but with a local vibe! Jack was amazing he helped assist us in choosing the perfect pizza! True taste of Italy! Kyle worked in tandem and brought our pizza out and ensured that we were well taken care off making the experience top notch! The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional, and we look forward to our next visit❣️❣️❣️

Simple decor might put some people off but don't be fooled, the food more than makes up for it. From the prompt, friendly welcome upon arrival to the quick turnaround on our order (despite being a busy weekend lunchtime) I genuinely couldn't find anything to fault with this place. And kudos to Hamza for the excellent table service. Highly recommended and would happily visit again.

The best i have ever had outside of Italy. A authentic napoletana pizzaria. The stone baked margarita omg that was jus amazing. I took all of my mates and they loved this place. Such a great atmosphere, staffs were lovely and friendly. I would highly recommend this place.

My Pizza was authentic, delicious, and full of flavor. The crust was perfectly crisp, the sauce was rich, and the cheese was fresh and gooey. A tasty and satisfying experience! However when it comes to the staff i barely got a smile from any of them it doesn’t look that they really enjoy their job but overall i enjoyed my meal.

Rudy's Pizza Napoletana Birmingham-A proper Italian Job. We visited Rudy's Pizza for a quick bite during a recent visit to Birmingham City Centre. It was extremely busy and we did need to wait for a table. But it was worth the wait. The service was good, and the Nduja Ortolana pizza arrived pretty quickly. Fresh and tasty pizza in an interestingly designed restaurant. Definitely has a genuine Italian taste. We will be back for more for sure.

First time here. Food amazing got to sit right where the pizzas are made brilliant. Bit slow with drinks could improve on that. But can honestly say one of the best pizza's I've had...better than the usual takeaway....FYI they do takeaway here so we'll worth it. I've starred the service low because of how long we had to wait for drinks...overall the staff very friendly and attentive

We popped in today after going to the aquarium and had THE best time. We were served by Tia and Sophie who were outstanding and the lunch was fast, fresh and sooo tasty! Highly recommend (esp vegans!)

Was recommended by a friend, has an amazing variety of dishes from various asian backgrounds and a large vegetarian menu, as well as an extensive menu of drinks. Lively and inclusive atmosphere with brilliant friendly service. Noted that there's outdoor seating friendly for dogs too. Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience authentic oriental flavours.

Delicious food and great service. The best Tom Yum soup I've ever had, at a portion size so big I couldn't finish it! Perfect amount of chilli oil. Tender chicken and a great amount of veggies on top. Could taste how the spinach had been wilted separately with some garlic before being added to the top of the soup. It added such a lovely depth of flavour. Tasty dairy free shakes too!

Myself and my family have been coming here for years since they had the large restaurant by the markets. The food has always been of a high standard.They have fresh and tasty dishes. My favourite being the squid fried rice and my daughter absolutely loves their Oreo milkshakes!

Although the dishes in the restaurant are Vietnamese, they are all similar to fusion dishes in terms of price and taste. If you are looking for the taste of traditional moonlight, I think this may not be suitable for you, but aside from this, the overall taste is good, but the price-performance ratio is not compromised.

Cannot fault the service, efficiency and food quality. We go back often. Especially because the vegetarian/vegan options are so so tasty.

Every time I have so far been I have not been disappointed. Tasty food that arrives piping hot. Cash payments only. Compact and cosy space.

Amazing authentic food and amazing service. It was a pleasure to have my daughters 18th birthday there. Cash only

💎 Our recommendations: * Beetroot Salad * Whole Dover Sole (on the bone) Here’s what we ordered: 🍽 Beef Tartare / Beetroot Salad This classic dish was served with toast on the side. It was decent, but the Beetroot Salad stole the spotlight! The salad came with whipped yogurt and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs. The white beetroots, naturally sweeter, added an unexpected and delightful twist to the dish—absolutely delicious! 🍽 Whole Dover Sole (on the bone) Our main course was visually stunning, served with loads of capers and brown shrimp. Despite the generous amount of brown butter, the capers perfectly balanced the flavours, so it didn’t feel too heavy. 🍽 Lamb Rump I ordered the lamb rump cooked to medium, but unfortunately, it arrived fully cooked. 😔 Since I hate wasting food, I decided to enjoy it as it was rather than requesting a replacement.

Wow wow wow. What an amazing gem right in the heart of Birmingham. Do not miss the smoked row, the hand dived scallops, and the English oysters. All absolutely divine. The cocktails are very interesting and unique too. Service was so friendly, and I felt like a regular. Would be back every week if I lived in Birmingham! Highly recommend this delicious place!

This experience is not worthy for £144 two girls Food is great but the waiting time is too long. We ordered at 7:45, raw oysters came around 8 but main dishes came at 9:08. The waiter forgot my friend’s steak sauce.

First time with yourselves and I have to say it was really disappointing. The bill £353 just didn’t feel like a meal worthy of it. The one girl serving was brilliant but a long delay for food , atmosphere was dreadful and to be told long delays because a rowdy group came in and order 60 oysters. First and last time , wouldn’t recommend at all sadly.

Food is exquisite. A bit on the steeper price point but worth every single penny. You get quality ingredients - super fresh seafood, creamy oysters, food cooked and seasoned beautifully. Its quite the experience! I had one of the best Sunday roast here as well. Might I add that you can find some really wonderful desserts - everything leaves me wanting for more. Already been here twice, would highly recommend it. Service crew is really lovely. No complaints!

Food was good, but service not the best. We didn’t feel that they were happy to see us, they didn’t smile at us, and the waiter’s face was sad. Also waiter didn’t know the difference between three types of caviar, which is very strange. It was my birthday and I left note during booking so I was expecting to see «happy birthday inscription on the plate», but nothing happened. Would I recommend this place to anyone? I am not sure.

Beautiful meal, fantastic ingredients and amazing service. Always love this place for a special occasion. We also highly recommend their cocktails - the bar man is the best and every time we ask for something off the menu, he’s able to make them and they always taste great.

Visited Land yesterday for a six course taster menu and I was not disappointed. Staff were extremely attentive and could not do enough for you.The menu seemed very simple at first glance with a brief description of the key ingredients, which added to the excitement of what it would look like and taste like. Each course was beautifully presented and the staff would explain exactly what you were eating. Speed of service was excellent too, maybe ten minutes between courses. There was also an excellent choice of drinks on offer, soft drinks, cocktails and wine. If anyone ever thought vegan food was boring then just visit Land and see how wonderful plant based food can be. I have been vegetarian/vegan for forty plus years and I have never experienced anything like this. A perfect afternoon of great Company with a wonderful friend and amazing food. We particularly enjoyed the artichoke starter, the beetroot course and the squash course and I must mention the gorgeous warm sourdough bread with herb butter. This was food I will never forget and we can not wait to visit again. Thank you for a delightful experience 30/08/2025 Visited Land again today, another amazing experience. Food and service was exceptional, hoping to go back as a Christmas treat. Thanks again

We had three dishes served to us first, they were all an exploration of flavours and textures: The dashi, ponzu and Radish was Punchy, sharp and crisp The charcoal, squash and yoghurt was Bold with a mild centre The mushroom, barley and walnut was Crunchy, earthy and crunchy in texture with a pleasantly earthy aftertaste The milk bread with cultured butter was the next dish served to us, the bread was warm, seedy and inviting with a soft, pillow-y texture and the cultured butter was cool with a slightly tangy undertone which brought out the flavours in the bread The main dishes and drinks were then brought out in this order: Dish #1 and drink #1: The tofu, turnip and shimeji dish was compromising of chewy mushroom, delicate and subtle turnipthat elevated the textures of the melt in your mouth tofu with a crispy but light exterior which which was topped with an earthy sharp, smoky and pleasantly bitter Kimchi dashi broth Paired with a drink with a citrus-y aromatics that was sharp and zesty in flavour. Drink #2: We were then served an alcohol free apricot liqueur that was mellow, lightly sweet and slightly floral in taste. Dish #2: The sweetcorn, chili and black sesame dish was creamy, crunchy and garlicky with a mild but flavourful chilli punch and a delicate and easy to palete base that made the whole dish warm and comforting to digest Drink #3: It was an in-house drink made from their own spices with a spicy aromatic that makes the tumeric the star that gives a gentle tingling sensation to your throat, making you feel like you have cleansed your tastebuds. It also provides a gentling of the gut, making it easier to digest more. Dish #3: The squash, Thai green curry, shallot and tamarind dish was the third served and the squash was sweet and extremely tender -- the thai green curry was smooth and had a spicy kick, the tamarind was spiced and fruity and the rice cracker was light and salty when combined they all harmonise flawlessly to create a flavourful and well balanced dish. Drink #4: The green stuff drink was served to us made from a variety of different greens. It had a natural yet perfume like aroma but a mellow yet bitter taste to it. Dish #4: The tomato, tapioca and wild garlic dish consisted of a tomato that had a fresh and natural flavour to it with a gentle and floral undertone from the wildflowers that was amplified by the strong yet slightly chewy garlic and the acidic base to dish. Drink #5: The fifth drink had a bold and full bodied aroma. With a rich, slightly bitter and smoky taste to it. Dish #5: Our fifth dish was the watermelon, rice and furikake dish: The watermelon was firm, smoky and charred with a dark,rich sauce and a creamy yet light and crunchy rice it was complimented with a salty and savoury furikake topping. The main dishes and drinks were followed up by a sweeter selection, served as follows: Drink #6: The cherry truffle drink had a sweet cherry and vanilla aroma it tasted mild and fruity, it was easy to drink and smooth. Dish #6: The cherry and chocolate dish was made up of a mousse that was mild, fluffy and airy it made a lovely base for the tart cherry sauce and the chocolate underneath it was crunchy, mellow and sweet. Drink #7: The peaches drink had a delicate and subtle flavour that really leads way to the carbonation of the drinks themselves. Dish #7: The pear, amazake, elderflower and ginger dish had an ice cream made a wonderfully mellow base for the crunchy ginger pieces and the wafers sat atop the ice cream melted into your mouth to merge with the dish as a whole. The berries in the sauce added a welcoming tang to the whole dish as it was smooth but crunchy. We were served petit fours also in 3 different flavour varieties; a soft to touch bitter jasmin and mandarin jelly, a crunchy, spicy and cocoa rich gochujang and sea salt brownie and a high quality matcha and blackberry chocolate which had an amazing snap and earthy strong matcha paired with tart and refreshing blackberry. Overall, I'd say land is a multi sensory meal - it's a must visit at least once in your life!

Truly an experience. Excellent dishes full of character. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff. It unquestionably deserves its place in the Michelin Guide. Don’t miss it.

A wonderful sensory experience. Wonderful service and delightful pairings. I would say a few tasters felt slightly repetitive with similar fennel tastes and would have loved something with mushrooms. Also the wine pairings seemed very small amounts for the cost of an extra £50 pp, I’d say half a wine glass would have been great. I’d definitely go again however I’d like for there to be a real difference with every dish.

I bought my mum here for her birthday, along with my sister and husband. We absolutely loved everything about the food. It was beautiful and SO flavourful. We had the 7 course tasting menu (and there was also 3 amuse bouche, a bread and 3 petit fours) and we were left full but not uncomfortably so, and definitely not hungry. The staff are very knowledgeable about the processes that go into the food and drink. They gave my mum a wee birthday card which was lovely. My husband and I recently ate at Gauthier Soho and we enjoyed the food at the atmosphere at Land much more. Highly recommend to vegans and omnis alike!

Outstandingly inventive vegetarian fare with influences from different corners of world cuisine, especially with a 3-course weekday menu that's an absolute steal. The drinks are so well done too, and really warm service with some lovely recommendations!

Had a birthday dinner there while it was taken over by Sael and they didn’t disappoint. Jonathan is so humble and so talented can’t wait to visit his new restaurant later this year!

I was in Birmingham for a few days last week and went to Sabai Sabai twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. I’d highly recommend going for dinner as the menu is more expansive. Definitely book in advance for dinner. The service was efficient and friendly. The seating comfortable. It does get loud, depending on the number of diners. For dinner, I had tempura king prawns followed by salmon curry with Jasmin rice. All dishes were delicious. The prawns were my favourite. As for lunch, I had crispy duck bao buns followed by pad Thai with prawns. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Sabai Sabai and I’ll be going again when I’m back in Birmingham.

A solid four star meal. Not authentic or exciting but not a disappointment either. Understand that the dishes have been catered to the local taste buds but surely we can get the right vegetables for the right cuisine in this day and age. Mangetout and baby corn should not be near a Thai dish. The duck roll and papaya salad was the best of the bunch. The service was pleasant and the atmosphere buzzing. Overall we had a good time.

I only recently started exploring Thai food and I’ve completely fallen in love with it. It’s flavourful, hearty and just so yummy. I also love that you don’t need to eat a lot to feel full and satisfied. I decided to visit Sabai Sabai because it’s Thai, so why not? Though I did feel a little like I was cheating on my other favourite Thai spot 🙃 We got there just as the doors were opening and were welcomed with the warmest smile. The restaurant was clean and you could actually smell the bleach and cleaning products coming from the toilet. It might sound odd, but I was really pleased by that. The ambience is chic and cozy. The space is a bit small and the tables are fairly close together, but it still felt comfortable. Here’s what we ordered: 🥘 Green curry with shrimp and sticky rice 🍽️ Sea bass with garlic fried rice ☕ Latte 🍹 Singapore Sling I enjoyed every bite and I’m already looking forward to going back to try more from the menu. Thai food has won me over completely!

My friend & I came yesterday evening & we had a delicious meal, has to be one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. Staff were very friendly & attentive, will be returning.

We went for lunch, and since the restaurant was quiet with only a couple of other guests, I really enjoyed it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The staff were polite and attentive, making our celebration feel extra special. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

First time visiting the Solihull branch for lunch and it was stunning! The decor was beautiful. Very clean and great staff. Service was excellent. The food was great standard full of flavour. We ordered the set menu for 2 which included great starters including sweetcorn fritters, money bags and chicken skewers. Everything was delicious. For our mains we had a few options - pad Thai, chicken Thai curry and garlic and pepper prawns which came with unlimited jasmine rice. All items had amazing flavour. Really good for the price! We’ll deffo be going back.

It was the best Thai I’ve ever had in my life. I tried quite many Thai food as it’s one of my favorite cuisine but it’s actually quite hard to find the right Pad Thai. Noodle was just cooked right and sauce was just perfect. Also the rest dishes are cooked properly as well. Chicken and squid were as juicy as it was just cooked. Even batter was delicious. We loved papaya salad as well. Every dish was absolutely amazing and phenomenal. I never expected to have the best Thai in Birmingham and if I have to visit Birmingham again, there’s no doubt this place will be the first one to go.

Very tasty lunch location. You did used to get chips in the gyros but this time round they weren't included. Still a good size portion. Use independent Birmingham card for discount

Chips and cheese were amazing did have to pay extra but was with it! The halloumi wrap was also lovely a little too much lettuce but I mean you just take some out!! But other than that it was so lovely and would definitely have again! This was take out so the packaging was well secured too and kept the food warm! (Have not been in so no idea what it looks like as a place to eat in person)

Stopped in for lunch to give it a try since the food looked very nice. I went for the cheesy Greek, the one with halloumi, it was fantastic, full of fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, great bread. Quite filling. Not sure what the sauce was but it was very tasty. Eat in with a can of drink for around a £10. Highly recommend, I'll be back.

Great food with great quality. A platter simply has everything you want with a good balance. Would be better with bigger meat portion.

Greeted with a massive smile! Such lovely staff Great vibes! Great decoration Very fresh and absolutely tasty food £8.50 for the classic greek gyro but definitely worth it

Nice little Greek Takeaway. The Gyro is good/eaten better ans bigger for the price/, but it’s fresh made ans meet tender

Delicious and very authentic Greek food: reasonably priced and friendly service

I visited here recently. The ambience was relaxed with interesting surroundings. The staff were helpful. The cappuccino tasted good but wasn't hot enough. The croissant had been over baked; however, they are usually excellent, so hopefully this was just a blip.

Excellent bread and a nice choice of bakery goods. I liked the salad and sandwich options for lunch. There's a cosy basement eat in area. I was less keen on making my own tea (from the provided tea bags) given the price. Price are generally high, but the quality is good.

Fantastic bakers with a focus on sandwiches and breakfast pastries. Delightful downstairs eating area. The only reason for 4 rather than five is the cost - worth it in my mind for a quality independent, but perhaps prohibitive for some.

Uber cool coffee/food/meeting place with amazing choice for drinks and food. We had coffee but our neighbours were tucking into a nacho platter for two. If we lived closer we would be here A LOT! Will revisit when in the area though.

A lovely little place just off the main high street serving delicious lunches plus great bread and amazing cakes. There’s a good deli selection of tins and preserves to go with the bread as well.

Great to make it finally. Lovely service, great food & fab basement space to sit in.

Brilliant independent bakery and cafe. Fantastic breads and pastries, and nice friendly staff. 10% off on orders over £10 for Independent Birmingham members.

Quite pricey and the chicken and halloumi wrap didn't really have enough salad in it. It also lacked flavor really, could have done with more sauce... The chilli sauce didn't really work well with it but my friend enjoyed the chipotle sauce. The falafel were very disappointing, small and excessively crunchy, barely any filling for some of them.

Absolutely beautiful food - fresh tasty, amazing flavours. The meal I ordered was better than I expected it to be! Delicious. The only problem is - I live 100 miles from Birmingham, (here for work) and I won’t be able to have this again until I’m back!!! 💔 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Great little shop. My order of Pita meal with chicken + fries and a drink was ready in about 15-20min. Slightly more costly than in other places, however, absolutely worth it. The pita was incredibly tasty, chips were one of the best I had in a long time, the garlic dip was amazing! Overall really glad I had a lunch here and really satisfied!

Got to book a time slot for collection and didn’t have to wait around at all when I got there. Staff is so friendly and polite. Food is always delicious and was accurate to all our adjustments and clearly labelled. 10/10 would recommend.

My second visit. Just had the best lamb wrap iv ever had, with the scotch bonnet which was absolutely spot on for me. Previously i had the chicken and halloumi salad which did not dissappint either. Also the service has been really friendly and helpful. I pass alot but never come in. So glad i tried it. Definitely will be coming in more.

Ordered a takeaway but the Lamb wrap was missing. Fries and Halloumi were freezing cold, which could be down to the Uber Eats driver but no excuses for the missing wrap, which cost nearly £15. No answer when trying to contact the shop and a pathetic £2.72 refund from Uber Eats.

One of the best food I have had in Birmingham. Staff is super friendly. You won’t be hungry after eating their big portion for sure! The quality of the ingredient is good. Definitely recommend!

Took my daughter here as she loves all things Japanese. She really wanted to try their bao buns and me the Gyozas.. we were not disappointed. My daughter had the chicken option, and I had the vegetable option. We also ordered a portion of salmon and avocado sushi that was made fresh for us. All the food was served beautiful, was fresh and so tasty. The staff was super, very informative, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed and informal. Perfect for a lunchtime drop it. Deco was a mix of fun neon lights and being elegant, with beautiful lanterns. It was our first time, but I can definitely see us returning here for a second visit.

Sure! Here's a polished review you can use: --- Review: I had an incredible dining experience at this Japanese restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic flavors. The service was just as impressive: the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It’s clear that Sharof in particular takes pride in his work. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-quality Japanese food.

We came here for my elder brother’s birthday, without a booking, and were promptly sat. Couldn’t have asked for better service! A slice of cheesecake was brought out with a candle on which made his day! The food was great. I had the Hibachi steak bowl, cooked medium rare, which was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. Recommend highly!!

Pleasant and very friendly staff (Moin served us) all inviting once you walk in and guaranteed to have food that'll fill you for the rest of the day (in a good way). Comfortable seating and the lantern display on the back wall is wonderful. Thank you all!

Beautiful food, amazing service. I ordered the super seafood bento box and it was pleasant and delicious. The food wasn't too heavy while also having a perfect portion size. My friends ordered ramen and they also loved it. Btw I usually don't like sushi but it was really nice here

We visited Yakinori and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is cozy, the interior stylish, and the food was simply outstanding. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. A special thanks to our waitress Anna, who provided excellent service — she was friendly, attentive, and very professional. She helped us choose our meals and made the evening even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Anastasia served us on Valentines and was super sweet. We were a walk in of 5 during an obviously busy time (sorryyy) and she was very helpful throughout. Big up the staff.

It’s not an oyster bar. It’s not a restaurant. It’s one of many fishmongers in a filthy stinking market full of butchers selling every possible hoove, head and lump of unidentifiable entrails imaginable. Our reservation of shellfish for Christmas was underwhelming and overpriced. The staff could not have been less concerned despite the fact they could easily have told us other vendors just a few feet away could have fulfilled our order. Will never use again.

So disjointed specifically asked for fresh crab to get home and find out it had been frozen it was vile. I expected better of a well known fish monger thanks

I'm a regular customer there and love them oysters very much so fresh and big they're very tasty!

As ever excellent Oysters and Crabs from Pearce’s

Always pop in for some oysters when in town 5* and friendly staff

Excellent fresh oysters. Very friendly. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.

My favourite shop in Brum, great store been going there since it opened as I did the old Market with my dad. I must have spent some money down the years but I've enjoyed every mouthful. Be going again this week, can't wait as I've been starved of crab claws whilst in lock down. I would highly recommend if you can afford it as sea food is getting expensive now.

This is a firm favourite of ours. You know what you’re getting and it’s very consistent. The menu is easy to navigate with something for everyone and the cocktails are ace, especially at happy hour. Personally, I’d like more spice and stronger seasoning for my palate, but regardless, I enjoy my meal every time. The staff a lovely and attentive and we’ve never felt ignored or rushed.

Quite disappointing unfortunately. Sat down with my partner and they took 40 minutes to serve us. I would have no problem with this if they were busy but the staff were standing and talking to each other not serving anyone. When we were finally served we were given watered down drinks that cost 10 pounds each. It took more time after that before our food orders were taken. We gave our food order and then 15 minutes later they came back saying it wasn't available. Yes, it took 15 minutes for them to check if they had what we ordered as they stood around talking. When we gave them an updated order with what they actually had in stock the food they gave us was not at all worth the price they charged. Feathers in the chicken and the rice was undercooked. (see photos). 2 watery drinks, one small plate and one regular plate cost 50 pounds. Save yourself time and money.

Mixed feelings here. My husband and I came here for a lunch date on a Saturday. While we both enjoyed ourselves there were some hiccups that I felt could have gone better. All of the staff we interacted with were very nice however it was obvious they were massively understaffed for how busy it was at the time so the attentiveness wasn't there. When I ordered my meal and a tapas I specified I wanted the vegan version each time but it felt like I wasn't understood and I unfortunately turned out to be right when they took back my Elotes to check with the chef and then made me a new vegan one. Again the staff was nice and corrected it immediately. I had the horchata mocktail and while the flavour was quite good it felt ten times way too sweet. After sipping away at some I added water to it and it made it more suitable for my palette. The spicy rice was gorgeous and actually had some heat to it, which as a Mexican American here in England , I was surprised. The Ancho Mushroom Enchilada was just ok for me. It felt like they had overloaded it with salt and no other prominent flavour. Lastly the vegan Elotes were delicious. The cheese, mayo, and spice were lovely and the Elote was soo juicy!

Had lunch here in the run-in to Christmas, and overall it wasn't great. We were seated at a table with standard menus only, and noticed that was being done with other diners too. Fortunately we were aware there's a lunch deal menu and my wife went to get that instead. From the lunch deals, we ordered ourselves burritos, then ordered a Taco meal as a kind of side to share. Very glad I didn't order that as my main meal as it was tiny. I opted for the Pork pibil because I'm not sure if they keep the meats of the haallal menu and the normal menus separate, and I didn't want to mistakenly eat haallal meat. The food was ok, I expected a lot more flavour, but overall not bad or anything. The mocktails were quite nice, the virgin colada was lovely to be fair. My wife suggested we head to the nearby Christmas market for churros for dessert, but I insisted we stay put. She ended up getting the dessert menu herself and we ordered the Churros to share. They came without ice cream, so we had to ask for that again, which we received an apology for and were then given strawberry instead of vanilla as that was all they had left. It did seem the one guy who looked like he was in charge was trying to keep it together, but generally it was a bit of a shambles from his crew. I did witness another diner receiving even worse service, but that's not really my story to tell.

Hard to sum this place up. Service was intially really good but lacked a bit as time went on. Two of the four dishes we ordered weren’t available, alternatives offered which was acceptable. When the food came, one of the four dishes was wrong one, so now we only have one of the originally ordered items. Pointed out the incorrect dish but didn’t get rectified until we had finished our other food. I’d give it another chance based on the tasty food, maybe at a less busy time.

Amazing Ambience I Just Loved The Vibes and The Interior Of The Place. ‘Chris’ Was Very Sweet and Served Us Amazing Cocktails For The Night. Food Was Excellent Nachos Were Too Crispy and Prawn Tacos Were Too Yum With Burst Of Flavours. Overall Experience Was Too Good.

We were in a big group of 20 and they were able to accommodate us without issue, taking the downstairs area just for us which was really nice. The staff were also excellent and were very fast with service. Considering there were so many of us, it was great to see that they had prepared well. The food was mostly good, with some of the portion sizes being larger than I could handle. My picks were the cola wings, chicken mole burrito and the mango strawberry dessert. The cola wings and the mango dessert were my favourites of the night. The only slight downside to the experience was that there was a weird smell to the downstairs. You do adjust to it after a short while, but definitely something to be improved on. But overall a good experience.

Stumbled across this place whilst visiting Birmingham and oh my it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a mixed grill & baklava. Friendly and attentive staff with clean facilities. We are already planning our next visit.

Visited Comptoir Libanais yesterday for lunch. It was packed so you definitely should book a table. We shared a mezze of vegan dishes. Falafels which were crispy but light and fluffy inside and perfectly spiced. Hommos silky smooth served with warm flatbread. Batata harra, amazing roast potatoes, crispy, slightly spiced with a kick of chilli. Tabbouleh, so tasty and zesty. Fattoush, a gorgeous salad with mint and crispy pitta bread and finally a garlic and Za'atar flatbread, if you have not tried Za'atar you should, it's a wonderful mix of herbs and it was a taste sensation. We had drinks and it cost around £25 each and we were not hungry when we left. Service was great, very attentive but not pestering. My only critism was there was only one vegan dessert on offer, vanilla ice cream so we did not bother. We would definitely return and highly recommend. Great for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters.

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough, it was out first visit and we were very impressed. Amazing, friendly staff, especially Emma our server. Great menu with plenty of vegetarian choices. The restaurant was busy but that was great as it had a lovely lively atmosphere. Can’t wait to return.

Oh what an AWESOME meal! Perfect place and wonderful decor. Don't miss this place at all. The interior is absolutely beautiful and the food is so traditional and spot on. I wasn't expecting this at all and it blew my mind.

One of the best restaurants i have been to. Starting with the service, Anthony was lovely and very attentive and the food was by far 5stars. Delicious and fresh. Definitely will be returning

I recently visited this restaurant and ordered the platter for two, priced at £27 plus service charge. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it to be good value for money. For the price, the portion size and overall quality fell short of expectations. While the presentation was fine, the quantity and balance of dishes didn’t feel generous enough to justify the cost, especially once the service charge was added. This might work better as a light sharing option, but as a main meal for two, it left us disappointed. A more substantial offering or fairer pricing would make the experience much more worthwhile. In the picture the platter for two (there were two pitas not captured).

We've been coming here for 7 years and we still love the decor and the food although the portions are quite small and the bill gave us a shock, especially as they added on £8 tip without telling us. We don't feel the food is worth the price.

Exactly what I hoped for craving some good Chinese food. Lots of vegan & gluten free options. Fast service. Good size portions. So yummy. Friendly funny staff. Would recommend for sure, especially if you’re vegan or gluten free.

Honestly impeccable. The staff was nice and attentive. The food was SO good. They have a very large menu with set menus, vegetarian options and more. The Mango Pudding we had for dessert was a bit too simple but definitely recommend all the rest. We shared a starter, got a main and dessert for around £20 pp.

I recently visited Chung Ying in Birmingham and was pleasantly surprised by how well they cater to vegetarians—especially when it comes to dim sum. As someone who often finds veggie options to be a bit of an afterthought at Chinese restaurants, Chung Ying was a refreshing exception. Their vegetarian dim sum menu is genuinely thoughtful, not just the usual spring rolls and tofu. The standout for me was the vegetable cheung fun—silky rice noodle rolls filled with perfectly seasoned mushrooms and greens, drizzled with a sweet soy sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The vegetarian siu mai and spinach dumplings were also excellent: delicate, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What I appreciated most was that nothing felt like a compromise. Every dish was well-balanced and satisfying, with textures and flavors that made each bite interesting. Even the dipping sauces were spot on, complementing the dishes rather than overpowering them. The setting is classic and bustling, which adds to the charm, and the staff were friendly and helpful when I asked about which dim sum were vegan vs vegetarian. If you're vegetarian and love dim sum—or have felt left out at traditional dim sum spots—Chung Ying is absolutely worth a visit.

I had pork noodles, my wife had crispy pork with rice alongside Wanton Soup. With pepsi as the drink. The drinks were great 500ml in tall glasses. I liked my pork noodles, the portion is massive and it's best in buffet. I had to take it back in a doggy bag. The crispy pork was lovely too. My wife thought the wantons in the soup were not seasoned enough and it did feel.like this. The service was good and felt quick.

For some reason, we haven't been here for a couple of years (probably because there are just so many great places to eat at in Birmingham these days). So, it was lovely to head back to Ching Ying Garden and attempt to eat our bodyweight in Dim Sum. I love that you order what you want on a sheet of paper, then sit back and wait for the dishes to arrive in whatever order the kitchen make them. The Dim Sum was the star of the show, loads of little dumplings still sat in their steaming baskets, alongside the steamed buns. Delicious. I was a bit disappointed in the triple Roast Meats, however, I've definitely had both better and bigger portions in Chinatown. But still perfectly serviceable. Overall, a very enjoyable meal out, we'll try not to leave it another two years before we go back!

A great little restaurant in china town. The service was efficient and prompt and the drinks and food came out in good time. Great tasting hot food. We sat out in the terrace which was like a nicely done up garden verandah with lights and fans. Great all round

Salty Fish & Chicken Rice was delicious & tasted fresh and was well cooked. Service was quick and friendly. Portion sizes were decent and prices reasonable. The only slight negative part was the male toilet, the door lock handle needs fixing. Overall, a nice experience.

Well hidden from the busy streets of the city! This place gives you a warm feel with its cozy decor and prepares you for the great feast that you will soon experience! The duck was slow cooked and extremely juicy! The stew was made to perfection and the chicken liver was from another planet! Great selection of polish beers and vodkas! The staff was polite and attentive! The prices reflect the quality and the quantities are impressive!

Love the ambience, interior decor and the vibes inside the restaurant. Feels like im really in Poland. Food we ordered were all yummy. Waitress was friendly and nice. Ive been to a few Polish restaurants in and out of London and this is on my top list. Would definitely go back if we visit around the area again.

Loved the food and interior of the restaurant. They also have a selection of drinks including Polish vodka. The sharing platter we ordered was enormous which included 2 types of soup, the giant platter along with some veggies and dessert afterwards. 6 of us couldn't finish everything. Highly recommended!

Been here twice sept 2021 & Jan 2023. The first time we visited, we were amazing by the freshness and the taste of the food. The quality of ingredients and the attention to detail with seasoning was faultless. The service was warm and friendly and the restaurant was very busy and clean. Fast forward to Jan 2023, and the prices have understandably gone up but sadly the quality is no longer there, and there has been no change in menu (apart from the price). There are surely more different polish dishes you could add, not even any seasonal specials. The beef roulade was very dry and not cooked fresh. You could tell it had been previously cooked and poorly reheated. The Silesian noodles had a nice texture but lacked any seasoning and the sauce for the beef tasted like brown water, completely flavourless. The pork knuckle was another let down too, flavour and seasoning was lacking in the meat & sides. Service was inattentive, hence why we didn’t make any comment about the decline in food quality, we thought it best to just eat and get the meal over and done with. Well as for the toilets, I understand these may be shared with upstairs, but some kind of quality check wouldn’t go amiss. The restaurant in 2021 was full of Polish natives enjoying themselves with food and drink, yet it now seems to be more of a tourist spot, not a countryman/woman in site.

Amazing food, really nice vibe. I believe if in a Polish restaurant you see many Polish guests, it's a good sign, must be the place to be. I ran in from the cold and had an amazing żurek, followed by a variety of dumplings. They also have a nice selection of drinks. Great staff, good prices, I will definitely be back! Dzięki!!!

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere - we had a great time, many Polish favourites are on the menu. The portions were large , and the food was all delicious and fresh. I can in particular recommend the pan fried trout and the apple pie. Well worth a visit! We have been back after three years and we had another amazing meal!

Visited for the first time in a few years for my birthday and was delighted to find very little has changed. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable service, good quality ingredients, extremely large portions!!! The ham platter was a new addition to the menu since my previous visits. The platter for two is easily large enough as a starter for four people if main courses are being ordered too. The pork knuckle in cabbage (pictured) is every bit as good said remembered. Highly recommend, I won’t leave it so long to visit again.

Lovely food, really excellent service both times we have been here. Very helpful staff. It's no problem getting noodles without the chilies if you aren't good with them.

Food fresh hot delicious 😋. Quick service with a smile. I come here alot and staff know my favourite before I order wonderful personal feel. I also got my student discount just showing my active unidayz account online. They only take card payments. Never disappoints me love it.

Ordered the chicken summer roles and it was nice and refreshing lots of salad in there. Green tea lemonade will always be my favourite I drank it all in 10 seconds. Service was quick and efficient and everyone was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Overall had a lovely time and i definitely will come back again.

Today we went to Pho Vietnamese for the first time and we loved it! The staff were really friendly and sweet, especially our server Helen, and the food portions were huge!! Definitely worth the money and we were all super stuffed by the end of it. Thank you!

It was really nice, only downside was that it was a bit understaffed when we went as it was really busy. Helen was really nice and understanding, genuinely lovely place and lovely people.

Food is quite good! I would give it a solid 4.5! We had green papaya salad and wok fried rice noodles. The flavours were there. Sadly it was too hot to try Pho, because I do love that soup and it’s the main speciality in this restaurant. If you are at the railway station, looking for a bite- it’s a very decent place to go!

Helen served us and was so respectful and welcoming. Amazing food and service

Loved my visit to Topokki! The Jeyuk Bokkeum was absolutely delicious (spicy), full of flavor, and perfectly cooked. The restaurant has a cozy vibe, and the service was amazing. Special thanks to our waitress ABBIE, she was super Friendly and Kind made us feel so welcome. Can’t wait to come back!

Honestly, this food was absolutely amazing. Very hot and fresh and tasted delicious. The service was so good. Staff were really attentive and polite and made for a good experience. And the food was reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back here again as I can’t wait to try more things off the menu!!

Good authentic food, haven’t tried Korean food before. Glad this was the place that introduced me to it. Food is neatly laid out plenty of options, parking round the corner. 10/10

Came here for my sister’s birthday meal and I must say we were all very disappointed. We have noticed how the prices have gone up but portion sizes have gone down compared to when we last came 2 years ago. We paid £6 more this time for the same BBQ set and the amount of meat we were given was so little! Not worth it at all!! Incredibly disappointed and quite sad as we probably won’t return again as there are other restaurants better quality in food and better for price.

Lovely went by myself and enjoyed my time. And the food is always delicious 😋. U had the rapokki and it was just so good.

I came with a friend, in fact I'm still here lol, but the food and drinks here are absolutely gorgeous. Me and my friend had the chicken cutlet dupbap and kimchi jeon. As well as, the grape banbon juice, and white grape makgeolli (which is absolutely perfect for people who want something to drink but don't necessarily like the taste of alcohol much) and a ramune. Would honestly come again, I want to try more of the menu! ☺️

Authentic Korean restaurant located at the heart of Birmingham. Love the chicken but i don’t think the ramen is good. The only issue is cash only…

Popped in for a couple of pints before a social event elsewhere. Friendly service, great beer at a reasonable price for the location. Also very nice and polished looking inside. The lady behind the bar asked if I was planning to get through each beer, and believe me, I'd have loved to! But I just went for the two I was sure I'd like most. They don't pack as much of a punch as other similar beers, but they make up for it with flavour.

We had a nice lunch of fish and chips. We stopped by here several times on this trip. The service was excellent. The primary beer options were from Purity Brewing. Toilets were clean.

I’m glad this bar has remained an entry in the Good Beer Guide; they’ve kept their prices down but the quality of the ale remains as good as ever. Make the most of it while you can!

Nice bar, good atmosphere and really lovely staff! Gotta say I was disappointed with the chicken burger - £16 for a pretty tasteless breaded fillet and not a large portion size either. But the other food & drinks in our group were good, great selection of craft beers (including alcohol-free/0%. And like I said, really nice staff. Overall good lunch spot.

The staff were absolutely lovely, very friendly and accommodating. The food however was overcomplicated. The bacon on the bacon cheeseburger had little to no taste and the sauce ruined any flavour the actual burger had. Great space though for large groups, though the cellar was chilly so might not be so great as it gets colder.

Popped in for a pint on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Friendly service, great space and a decent selection of beers. Would come again!

I am here on a Friday at 13 hours, not noisy, not busy, just the right atmosphere for a quick bite and the chance to chat with your friends and/or family. I ordered the cheese and steak sandwich. It was fine, nothing fancy, nothing extravagant, a very simple sandwich, I'd say. I was surprised by the fact that it seems to have cream instead of mayo, not sure if this is the way they do things here, I'm not from the UK. Service was great. The waiter was fast, friendly, attentive. The food also took a very short time to arrive. Overall, I spent 22£ for a sandwich with fries and a beer, not bad.

Sampled the veg mixed grill platter and was very impressed. Very tasty indeed. *** Went to sample the food. The Saag was lovely and flavourful and the meat grill platter was also good. All in all, a nice mid week treat. *** Used to be Jungle Bird before it closed permanently and saw that it’s now a new place so got curious and popped in for a drink. Didn’t eat so can’t comment on the food. People are super friendly though and love seeing a selection of beer on draft that you don’t tend to see elsewhere. A chilled place to hangout and watch a bit of sport. Will 100% come back to try the food.

Fabulous wraps and masala chips - had a peel at the next tables curries -they also looked brilliant, lovely friendly staff. Hopefully this place will get as popular as their old premises - it was a bit lacking in atmosphere due to lack of customers - well worth trying and I’m sure it will soon be a must go to place.

Quite a simple pub, serving excellent Indian food, with good service. The menu is board and each item I had was good in it's own right. They were happy to customise the grill to my taste, and enquired if it was fine. Good job. Its a busy place booking a table would be smart.

This is my favourite place to Dine, the food is exceptional 👌 and the staff go above and beyond to make your visit as pleasant as possible.The staff have great interaction with there customers and there's always a happy vibe to walk into.

The Keg & Grill serves curry within the setting of a traditional English pub set up. The atmosphere here is always great, whether busy or quiet and I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. There offer a limited menu but there doesn't need to be a lot of choice because what they do provide is enough regardless of whether you want a snack or a proper meal you are sure to find something to your liking here. Come here if you want to spend an evening chilling with mates at the pub but want the option of good food without having to leave to source it.

A great place, excellent food , one of the best mixed grills I’ve eaten. The staff are very attentive, definitely worth a visit if you like your desi pub food .

Formerly The Gough Arms this is now what is known as a desi pub. Combining the best parts of a British pub and Indian cuisine with the Tandoori mixed grill as it's signature dish. Small but well lit single room with comfy seating. The menu is not as extensive as a normal curry house but still has plenty of variety. Focusing on chicken and lamb dishes ranging from Madras to Korma. There's also a good selection of vegetarian starters and mains. Staff are friendly and approachable. You order at the bar and it's brought to your table. Quick service yet still keeping a high quality in the food. The chicken was excellent,cooked to perfection. Plenty of chicken in the curry, always a good sign. The aroma of the pilau rice was a smell that will have you craving more. Ordered, served and eaten in about an hour. Yet you never feel rushed and time flies by. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

We went to Sushi Passion for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was almost full, which shows how popular it is, yet the service was still excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive throughout. We tried a variety of sushi, and each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The ambience is elegant and adds to the overall dining experience. A great spot for authentic sushi and a lovely evening out. Highly recommend!

Sushi Passion is one of the best sushi places in Birmingham, presenting traditional Japanese style and ambience and serving quality food especially sushi. One of my favourite sushi from them is salmon panko futomaki it makes me feel in heaven ( I really love sushi especially after a long exhausting day). Their staff are so welcoming, well presented, and organised. Kudos to them, especially to head chef Kamal, chef Ram, and Hanna! Great Job! Happy to spend my time at sushi passion🫡💕

We had a lovely experience from start to finish!!! The atmosphere is great and very warm, and the service is very lovely! We ordered a fusion boat which included many different pieces of sushi and nigiri, variety was great. All the food was amazing and the drinks were too. I would recommend highly it’s a beautiful place with lovely food and a very calm and soothing atmosphere!!

Absolutely loved my experience at Sushi Passion in Birmingham! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive. The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented — every bite was bursting with flavor. I especially enjoyed the variety of rolls and the quality of the fish; it’s clear they take pride in their ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy yet modern, perfect for both casual lunches and special nights out. Definitely a top-notch sushi spot in Birmingham — I’ll be coming back again and again!

A very charming restaurant with a diverse and high-quality Japanese menu. My friend and I ordered sushi, and we were absolutely satisfied — both with the amazing taste of the food and the professional, friendly staff and management. Without a doubt, we’ll be coming back — we’re true sushi lovers, and this was one of our best experiences! 🍣✨

First time here and I really liked it. I love the feel of the arcade anyway, so great location. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a selection of items, including sashimi, prawns, seaweed and California rolls. I thought it was all excellent. I’ll be back 👍

Not our first visit, we always had a good experience. But today was so wonderful that I had to leave a review for Sofia and the chefs working with her this evening. Service was friendly and relaxed and the food was outstanding. As we were the only guests left, the chefs made us a cute board and we really appreciated it. Thank you to Sofia and the whole team for a great dinner experience :)

We came here via the First Table app, not knowing what it'd be like. Wow! Delicious flavours in a beautifully varied array of dishes. The street food is great for sharing, do you get a variety. Highly recommend

We had a lovely meal & experience at Indico this evening. The food was delicious & plentiful (we ordered a mixture of curries & chaat). We were superbly looked after by Iqbal, who was absolutely lovely. Thanks for a wonderful meal, all! <3

Really great food and lovely, attentive servers. Highly recommend the thali options as a way to sample multiple dishes. Was even given some takeout containers to take my leftovers home, because the portions were very generous. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant experience for my second time here and my mom's first time. We came around 12:30 and left around 2pm. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. Food was amazing, and very flavoursome. Would definitely recommend!

Indico is a colourful Indian restaurant that seamlessly combines street cuisine charm with a contemporary dining experience. Upon walking into the restaurant, I noticed the atmosphere and how bright and lively it is, with Bollywood-inspired décor making it feel exciting and welcome. The food was flavourful – the Gol Gappa Bombs especially! and the Butter Chicken which are the main standouts. The Thaali provided a diverse selection of curries and sides and the servings are big. The staff is friendly, accommodating and attentive! They checked in on us through out the night. Iqbal made sure he took care of us and made the experience overall so much better. Indico is an excellent choice for anyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine with a modern touch. Perfect for social dinners or special events.

Amazing chef special thali. Cocktails always amazing! Staff on point. Highly recommend. See you again very soon!

What a fantastic restaurant. Authentic experience and very unique. If you are looking for Indian food with a different experience you should come here. Great idea before a theatre visit or a night out with friends and family. Iqbal was brilliant, advised on food choice and gave exceptional customer service. We will most definitely be going again soon!

i came here with my boyfriend for a celebratory meal. the gin selection is fantastic, never seen so many options! we enjoyed all of the drinks that we tried which was a fair few! the food was okay, we got a starter each and then shared a pizza. we both agreed we should have just got a pizza each as it was a little smaller than we were expecting, but still fresh and delicious. we finished it off with a (very generous) portion of tiramisu to share, which was very good! i would definitely come back to sit in the beer garden in the sun, and get a whole pizza for myself!

Me and my friends attended on a Saturday for a bottomless brunch. I anticipated we may be slightly late so emailed to ask if we could move the brunch forward 30 minutes however no one responded. We managed to arrive at our original time and drink and food orders were taken promptly. The food was nice and the variety of drinks kept everyone happy. Service was prompt. Our brunch was due to finish at 3.30pm so the waitress came over at 3pm and said the brunch is finishing soon so can I get you some more drinks then I'll take your final order after that. Throughout the brunch we had been finishing our drinks in around 5-7 minutes. The waitress arrived at 3.15pm with our last drinks then promptly took payment for the brunch. We still had 15 minutes left of our 90 minutes, which we believed we could have easily had one more order. I have been to most of the bottomless brunches in Birmingham and also other places in the UK and usually the last order is taken at the end of the brunch. When we questioned this, we were advised that our time started from when we started drinking, so my friend stated that we placed our drinks order at 2pm and didn't start drinking til after 2pm if that was the policy and the waitress said "well I took your order at 2pm." The argument we had was that we still had 15 minutes left of our brunch and they were taking our payment trying to get us off the table before the 90 minutes was up. I feel we had a completely valid point and something that I have never come across at any other bottomless and that we asked politely, yet we were met with attitude from the waitress. Everything up until this point was great. My recommendation would be that if you want to go to a bottomless brunch where you are actually given the whole 90 minutes as promised on the t&c's then to attend elsewhere!

Lovely building and you can make your own gin has to be a good thing 😀 we had dinner before watching ELO over and out tour in his home town. Great drinks and cocktails 🍸 dinner was delicious the menu had not been updated from the wab site so no Sunday dinners only ice for dessert!! should be better

We had our engagement party at The Distillery Birmingham, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! From the start, the events manager Chelsea was incredible – she answered every question quickly and clearly, making the whole planning process stress-free. On the day, everything ran so smoothly. The room was emptied promptly when we needed, and being able to decorate beforehand and collect everything the next day made life so much easier. The bar staff were brilliant too – service was fast, drinks were flowing, and they kept the space spotless all night. We also booked the DJ they recommended, Jordan, and he was outstanding! His music choices catered perfectly for such a wide age range, and the dance floor was full from start to finish. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to help us celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you to everyone at The Distillery for making our engagement party unforgettable!

A fantastic space to host private events, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful - even if they did run out of Intuition, I can forgive them for how accommodating they were throughout! Chelsea fielded numerous queries in advance, answering them all with clarity & in good time. We also made great use of the outside space, which was fantastic in the later-afternoon sun. We had numerous compliments from guests about the quality of the food - which was plentiful & managed superbly by the team on the day.

Great bar for a sunny afternoon, plenty of outdoor seats and a great drinks selection. Keeps the sun late in the afternoon and they have a large outdoor screen for sports. Haven’t eaten here so can’t comment on the food but looked like pub style and pizzas

I loved the gluten free pizza I had, the base is so soft. Literally tastes like I’m in Italy

Wasted 12£ on reheated scraps that were served lukewarm to us. Putting store-bought salsa on some Indian food doesn't make it Mexican. The tortilla wrap was also probably bought from Tesco and not even warm. The chicken was barely reheated, without flavour and honestly left us both with a "vomity" taste. Did not receive a receipt either from the employee. It's a shame since the manager seems like a lovely person and works hard, so only go in if she is in. Otherwise avoid it at all cost.

Good morning We went to Wrapchick restaurant in National exhibition centre , Birmingham and we found hair on our food and we all felt unwell and vomitted for all night. Actions Taken a) Reported about the hair Results a) They changed our food Later problems a) Vomiting all night who had naan seekh kebab and diarrhoea all night with other members. b) After a day still feeling sick I am attaching all the proof which I have got like bills and photos

Dont wanna comment much since they are okay. Just doesnt fulfill me and wasnt cheap and no student discount. Better than maui poke for sure. Cheers!

Lovely little place overlooking Grand Central. Good value fast food snacks. Very friendly staff.

I visited the bullring Wrapchic for lunch whilst at work and I definitely wont be coming here again. I ordered a chicken wrap and my husband ordered a lamb wrap and they both tasted off. It might have been the sauce that they used or something. It just left the taste of vomit in our throats. It's a shame because I've visited a different branch before and it was actually quite nice. Probably just a bad batch of sauce.

Had lunch here today and i was very impressed by the service, very friendly, polite and helpful staff. The staff helped us make our minds up about what filling we would like by giving us a few samples to taste. The mutton madrasi in a naan tastes very good as well the chicken rajasthan in a wrap with spinich sauce, mint sauce and cheese. Only negative i would say is that if you wnat extra peppers, onions, cheese etc they charge from 75p upwardsand this can result in a slightly expensive lunch for a family of 4. Overall, worth a try and definitely good tasting food so we will be returning soon.

Poor quality and less quantity for the price they are charging.. ordered Hyderabadi biriyani which was not enough warm and fresh at all. I feel like vomiting after having it. Don’t prefer to go again

It's a great new cafe in Stephenson Street, overlooking the council house. The cafe was busy when we walked in, but they did manage to find a table for the two of us. The interior has the current trend of unfinished ceilings, where the air conditioning and electrical ductwork are exposed. We had a friendly & helpful waitress who engaged with us. The meals were lovely and tasty. My only criticism is that my meal wasn't that hot, but it didn't spoil the experience

Came for brunch on a Sunday. As a walk-in, our group of 3 only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. This place has a nice atmosphere and we weren’t rushed at all throughout our meal or after. The menu is interesting with interesting spins on some breakfast foods. There was some flexibility with some of the dishes, for example picking the type of egg for the house breakfast. Recommend this place for brunch, especially if you are looking for a place centrally located, near New Street station.

Due to being a frequent travel through Birmingham, i have always been wanting to see what Yorks Cafe was offering (I only wanted something to drink since i had a huge breakfast). I was greeted with a wonderful server who asked if i had any special requests or allergies, before coming around to take my order. The atmosphere was a nice vintage look inside. Personally I do love that style of environment. Moving on, they have a large variety of food and drinks and i tried one of their special lattes which had turmeric, cinnamon and ginger. The taste was unique and i had nothing like it before. It definitely refreshed my pallet. Overall, i am very pleased with the coffee and the staff and will definitely have to revisit within the near future. Thank you so much for your service.

I was in Birmingham for a City break with a friend and we discover York’s on google when we arrived at the Train station. Last Sunday we were starving after our journey coming from London so we decided to have a brunch. The cafe was very busy but we didn’t have to wait long to get a table, we ordered a Yorks House Breakfast which was so delicious, Fried chicken & French Toast with a beautiful sauce on the side and the Masala fries which were very tasty. Staff was really lovely and friendly. Also great coffee selection and perfect atmosphere for a Café. We went back again for more coffee and Avocado smashed and Feta cheeses on Toast, so yummy! Probably one of my favourite cafes ever!

Great venue, but get there early to avoid queues. Service was good, and I like that they take payment when you order so you can just get up and go when done. Food was good, but would not say as amazing as it looked, but that could just be my taste. The presentation was fantastic how ever! The only reason to drop one star was the coffee was not hot enough, again just my taste, but I could have finished it before my food arrived, ask for it extra hot. Well worth a visit.

Great food! Coffee was a bit cold to my liking - lesson for next time to ask for extra hot 😊 we ordered Turkish eggs & Arabian eggs, the dishes were flawless and the Greek yogurt was very well seasoned . Poached eggs were perfect as well as the bread was amazingly soft. Decor was quite rustic, could be improved especially with just one toilet. Although a good place in the city centre.

Popped in for brunch, after getting off the train at New Street Station. Great atmosphere of people working and just meeting up. A wide range of ages in there which I think says a lot about the quality of a place. That everyone is welcome and feels comfortable, whether young or more mature. The food was very good and the staff were welcoming and friendly .

Food was decent, not a great selection available but when we asked for something it was made quickly. The biggest down side was the service, the chef had to greet us because no-one else was available, after we were sat down no-one came to take our drinks order and when I went to ask I was surprised when the guy sat at the bar picked up a tablet and offered to take my order, he looked like a customer! All in all it was ok but not sure I’d repeat the experience. Dessert was amazing though.

I went for the Bottomless Belt today, and it was my first time visiting. No complaints about the quality of the food, which was made to a high standard. However, a member of staff clearly told me that I could order select items like gyoza, katsu curry etc off the menu as part of the bottomless belt. Unfortunately, when I came to order these items, another member of staff apologised and said the policy had changed, and I would only have the cold options on the belt. This left me disappointed, as I wouldn’t have the same experience I could’ve had months earlier. In addition the belt options were basically variations of the same thing. Salmon on rice (nigiri), salmon in rice (futomaki) or salmon on its own (sashimi). I saw Edamame once (I managed to nab it), and waited almost an hour for desserts to roll out. When it came to settling my bill, I was almost overcharged by £10 on the service fee, something I was not made aware of beforehand either online or in person. When I politely contested the charge, it was edited before my eyes to £2.25. Even this amount was too much, as I only wished to pay £29.95. Considering the mistakes made, I did not believe a service charge was warranted. All in all, this experience has dissuaded me from bringing my family here in the future, and I hope you can look into some of these issues as it may hinder return visits.
