The 20 best spots for soup in Birmingham

Had booked this restaurant for a birthday and it didn’t let me down. Definitely will go back again, such good service from every member of staff, they even played songs on special request! 10/10

Wow! We did the larger 12 course tasting menu and every dish held the incredibly high standards. It’s rare that every single dish holds the same high standard, but this did. Relaxed and simple atmosphere which when juxtaposed with the elegant dishes creates a truly enjoyable experience.

First time trying this restaurant after reading some very good reviews. Celebrating a wedding anniversary, we thought to try something different and it didn't disappoint. The food was delightful and varied with an abundance of different flavours. Can't fault the service at all with every dish explained by the servers. The atmosphere was very relaxed as well which also made it enjoyable.

The Rough Cut menu While sitting there, the aroma coming from the kitchen made you feel like you were on holiday next to someone BBQing. The first dish was good. I was expecting it to be salty. It was creamy, with four flavours all taking their turns to excite your taste buds. The second dish was so fresh and seasonal. The cod was different. I like it more as a winter dish. The BBQ mussels dish had lots going on. If you could just hook it straight to my veins. The showstopper, the duck. This was mind-blowing. I could have this as a Sunday dinner. Almost as a chef teasing you with a trailer, then bam, you get the start of the show. I hope this becomes a regular dish. Last, we have the banana dish. This left you refreshed.

A truly special evening. Phenomenal food (really unexpected combinations that JUST WORK!) an amazing playlist and really personable staff. The evening was more than we expected and we will not hesitate to return and go the WHOLE HOG! An amazing experience. Would recommend. Sonal was particularly suave (you’ll know when you meet him!)

Booked for my Husband’s birthday, The Wilderness team were really lovely and helpful upon booking. We both had the signature Control menu as on a tight schedule. Service was flawless and the food was beautiful. Thank you.

We were totally wowed by the quality of the food, every single dish was incredible. We have done a lot of tasting menus over the years and have been lucky enough to visit several with one and two Michelin stars, and honestly this was the best we have experienced. The sommelier was also a real highlight, she was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. Her wine selections were impeccable - different and interesting choices, that paired perfectly with the food. Can’t wait to have the opportunity to come back.

We eat quite early so when we came in at 18:20, the restaurant was quiet but it soon filled up and by the time we finished dining, it was buzzing with activity and was super cozy. The staff were super lovely and kind. A young lady was being trained and was super sweet, the lady training her was polite and patient - great to see. It was also great to see the young gentlemen who were still teens when we came here for the first time 7 years ago. Food is otherworldly! I always go back to lasawalla gosht and it never fails to satisfy. What a joy to dine here!!!

I celebrated my 20th birthday at Royal Watan, and it was nothing short of incredible.. We started with an amazing mixed grill, packed with tender, flavorful meats, perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection, the fish being my personal favourite part. It was the ideal way to kick off the meal. For my main, I had a Kashmiri pizza with chips, which was a unique and delicious choice. Having being on crutches, the staff were amazing. Providing seats with plenty of space and alot of space to manouvre with easy access to the toilet The service was excellent, and the food was unforgettable. Royal Watan truly made my birthday special, and I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality food and a great dining experience.

We came in after reading the great reviews. They are all spot on. I had a mutton shashlick hanging kebab starter which was lovely. We had a butter chicken chooza which had a decent kick to it. We also had a keema muttar which was excellent. 5 of us ate here and we all thought the curries were full of flavour made with lots of fresh ingredients. All the staff were very friendly. Bring your own alcohol. My daughters enjoyed their mocktails too. Don't hesitate to eat here!

Came with a friend for a work event and travelled 30 minutes and was really worth it Poppadoms, mango chutney is great We had chicken Karahi with naans and good portion sizes Don’t forget to have their mocktails as they tasted amazing Not only that staff was really friendly and attentive Price wise very reasonable and affordable For two people cost no more than £35 for what we ordered. Atmosphere is great with great music in the background Lastly when do you use warm hand wipe with a gentle scent of oud.

I have come here with my family a few times, the food has never missed! so authentic, fresh and delicious! would definitely recommend!!

Great balti restaurant. Busy! So either book ahead or expect a bit of a wait but it's worth it for classic old school balti and naans as big as your torso that will block out any unwanted dinner guests. Makes you proud to be from Birmingham.

Thanks so much to Kiki and Usman for serving me and my friends today x I had the lamb chops - seasoned so nice and the masala chips They gave me a free mocktail both are so good: sunrise and strawberry daq xx Lovely place I would come again xx 🥰

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.

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.

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 :)

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"

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!

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.

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.

Great dining experience here, and I loved how many Birmingham elements they wove into the meal. The pre-course snacks were a real highlight – you could tell there was a lot of effort and some fun ideas packed into those little bites. However, while the starters and snacks were fantastic, I did find the main course to be a little less impressive in comparison. The portion size also felt a tad on the smaller side. Dessert are also hit and miss. Despite that, it's still a great restaurant overall. The service was excellent – really attentive without being intrusive. We also dined with a discount, which made it fantastic value for money. If you're looking for a dining experience that's fun, tasty, and definitely has a Brummie flavour, then this place is absolutely worth giving a try.

This was the perfect treat for my birthday. From the moment I booked it, I was impressed. I opted for the Signature Tasting Menu, starting downstairs with three dishes representing the Balti Triangle. As we moved upstairs, it felt like we were in their own home, with only a few tables and just three members of staff. The food was exceptional. I have experienced several tasting menus, but this one truly stood out. Not a single dish felt out of place; each one was as good as the last. Considering there are only two chefs in the kitchen, this impressed me even more. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

As it is my 50th birthday tomorrow I decided to treat myself to a meal at the restaurant. I went for the tasting menu and wine flight. I was not disappointed, the food was outstanding and the service was excellent. The whole team were amazing. I thought it was a nice touch that the owner/chef Kray came to the table to deliver the food and explain the dishes. The music was eclectic and had something for everyone. Was my best fine dining experience to date. Looking forward to trying the menu and in the summer.

Visited yesterday celebrating our wedding anniversary. I was really impressed with the food - it exceeded my expectations. Some really, clever and playful twists on the Birmingham theme. We enjoyed the non traditional, urban feel of tbe restaurant and I loved the playlist which was alternative and played louder than in most fine dining places I've been to. We started with a drink and snacks in the bar. Nothing massively grabbed me from the cocktail menu but I enjoyed the gin cocktail I chose. The crab custard snack and the scallop tart were really excellent. We had the tasting menu - everything was beautiful, lots of great umami flavours which I love. We weren't shown a menu for the wine flight or offered it which made us think we may find it disappointing so opted to sharw a bottle od wine instead. We were recommended a chilled red which is bottled locally and again this was really good. We had a glass of a lovely dessert wine with our sweet courses which we both loved and paired well. Standouts for me were the pickle tray (popadom pickle tray flavours served with a sorbet in a lime), fruit and nut 1926 (chocolate lovers heaven) and the cheese course which was stunning. Service was good and attentive, we didn't have to think about a thing. We had relaxed and chatty service from two of our waiting staff, others seemed to be newer/less confident and less chatty/able to talk about the food. This didn't put us off but just didn't quite match the quality of the food. Overall we had a really special and memorable experience, would recommend for a special occasion. We would love to return.

Must visit! Take your time and enjoy every course, the atmosphere and attention to detail. The service was brilliant, without being over bearing. A wonderful experience, if you haven’t eaten here you are genuinely missing out

I've loved the ambience, the service, the food and also the music selection. Very original. Me and my partner have been there for lunch and had the signature menu plus cheese course. The cheese is Highly recommended

I can't rave about it enough. Every dish was packed with well balanced flavor, the small venue was comfortable, but not stuffy (you can watch the chef work if you sit upstairs.) The drink pairs were well chosen. The chef brought out most dishes, described them, and spent some time chatting and making us feel at home. I would go back in a heartbeat and expect this place to have Michelin stars soon. It is also in a very cool neighborhood. Edited after returning for another visit recently. They have expanded the space to include a reception lounge area downstairs where you can enjoy a cocktail and a few small bites before going upstairs to enjoy your meal. The food is still amazing and the service still great.

This is a place you will need to book in advance. They used to charge a £20 deposit but they don't take this payment upfront anymore. They will charge if you don't turn up I guess. The food is delicious and we particularly enjoyed the crispy pork belly and courgette dish. The mains were ok (chicken noodles) but I'd say the food from the specials board stole the show. I have been here a few times now over the last few years and feel that it's somewhat different. Can't quite place my finger on it though mind. Overall however tasty food and friendly staff.

So... regardless of the pushback, the experience here was terrible! We came because of the 5-star Google Maps reviews and because Stirchley is becoming an amazing place to visit. The first problem is the £20 booking fee if you are absent. I understand the concept, but £20? That's the most I've seen from a small establishment. Second, the food! Wow! My partner and I were on the toilet for 2 days after. The chicken wasn't cooked properly at all! Lastly, my clothes stank of 2-week-old, stale deep-frying oil. It was embarrassing to go anywhere else after. The toilet is outside—I mean, seriously, 5 stars? Won't be coming here again unless we need a detox

Such a great foodie experience, massive "small" plates designed for sharing. Flavours were amazing.

Recommended by friends. Not sure why it says “Maggies munchies” outside but don’t let it put you off. If you’re tempted to walk past please don’t. Scruffy looking place but I’m sure it’s deliberate😁 Smallish menu. Very busy but great energy from within. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Absolutely amazing food. Great pork belly, great veggie dishes but my personal favourite were the peanut butter and marmite chicken wings 😁👏👏👏 A great table for four with reservations a must. Do not expect chic but do expect really really good food. Would love to go back. Thoroughly recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇻🇳

Amazing food and a great atmosphere! The food is fresh and packed full of flavour. I cannot fault this place. Fish sausage and pork belly are out of this world! 10/10

Just wanted to say this is a lovely place to eat. Miranda was a very lovely host (cool accent) and she very chatty. James was a nice young lad too. Thank you for the nice dining experience.

First time visitors- won’t be the last! Small, but perfectly formed restaurant offering numerous specials on top of the main menu items. The marmite peanut butter wings were absolutely beautiful, as was the pork belly and noodle dish. Great service and local beers too!

I had the Turkish Eggs from the Early Birds Menu and they were absolutely delicious! A perfect balance of flavours – creamy poached eggs, rich and tangy yoghurt, crispy toast, warm spices, and fresh herbs. Every bite was a little explosion of taste. The service was lovely too – friendly, attentive, and relaxed. Such a great start to the day in a place with great atmosphere. Highly recommended if you're in Birmingham and looking for something special for breakfast!

I’ve come here over the years for takeaways, with friends and family and to just get admin work done. I really liked this bakery and the staff are so so nice. However, since they expanded the bakery, it’s just become chaotic. They’ve lost some nice staff due to not accommodating for the expansion. For example, they should have made a separate coffee bar so that there is space for a bigger coffee machine for at least 2x staff to focus on hot drinks. 1 poor staff member sweating over trying to make the whole bakery’s coffees and all the takeaway drinks. Freeing up space by having a separate drinks making space would allow for more space in the front for 2x tills as there are cues now. Only 1x till also means that another staff member is stuck by themselves dealing with orders, takeaways and all the online orders. The staff honestly look quite stressed, I really feel for them. Especially as they are so nice to me, and a few of the female staff I get on well with. Once this is addressed it would be back to 5 stars as a rating! Other than that, the bakery items are good quality, food is really nice, creative flavours although quite pricey these days. I would not want to pay more if the prices went up further. The coffee is also quite nice and I really like the in house creations such as the miso caramel which you can also buy in store!

After hearing so many people rave about this place, I popped in today to pick up a couple of sweet treats. I chose the cherry and almond brioche and honestly, they were absolutely amazing! The lady at the counter couldn’t have been nicer or more personable either. What a lovely little gem of a place! I’ll definitely be back soon!

Aubergines cooked to PERFECTION!! Perfection I say, eggs too in this splendid Turkish breakfast. Good coffee- ☑️ Range of tasty croissants ☑️ Much more besides..

I’m rarely amazed by brunch food but wow this was amazing….delicious food ! Portions were huge so 100% worth its price ! It’s definitely my favourite place right and will for sure come back. Ps. I recommend coming quite early or booking a table as bakery got full pretty quickly.

Cute little bakery I recommend grabbing some baked goods! The brunch was ok, a bit pricey for what it was. It is a nice place to try some interesting pastries. The iced matcha latte was nice, along with the caramel latte. Not halal, but they did have veg options.

This is paradise for pastry and coffee lovers. And great brunch menu with a twist from the traditional ones. Can’t wait for my next visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Haidilao Hot Pot Birmingham! I came with my wife and son, and everything was perfect - fresh ngredients, tasty broths and excellent service. It was my son's birthday and the staff went above and beyond: they surprised him with а fruit salad and candle, sang а birthday song and even gave him а gift. Не was so happy! А special thanks to our waiter, Miracle - truly outstanding: kind, attentive and full of positive energy. Не made our evening unforgettable. We left with big smiles - highly recommend this place and we'll definitely Ье back!

went for a birthday and had the most amazing service! unfortunately i didn’t get our servers name but he was so helpful and lovely throughout as were all the staff. we put it was for a birthday on the reservation not thinking much but it was so cute. at the door they gave me a badge and the table was decorated, then they sung happy birthday and brought out a fruit plate and a present! honestly couldn’t rate this service enough they obviously go above and beyond. also the food is brilliant too and very reasonably priced. thankyou so much!

Went there recently to celebrate my son's graduation. I have been to China many times and have to say, the Hot pot was pretty authentic. Tasty and a good heat. A few options like duck blood was missing... But a great evening location. A very chilled night. Great service and no one in a rush to move us on even though it was a Friday evening.

Didn’t know they have halal options! The lamb and chicken were halal when I went there. Service is amazing as always and food is super high quality! Really enjoyed it and will definitely come back for more :) We got the buffet for dinner and it was around £38.99

We visited this restaurant randomly for hotpot for the very first time, and it was a fantastic experience. The ingredients were fresh, the broth was rich and tasty, and there was a wide variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. A big thank you to Leo, who helped me a lot with the menu and guided me through the whole process since it was my first time. He was patient, friendly, and made everything so much easier to enjoy. The service and atmosphere were excellent, and I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try authentic hotpot

Super easy to navigat, staff were friendly and helpful. Really good value for everything you can get!! Would definitely go again and reccomend to others ❤️❤️❤️

One of chinas best hotpot’s has come to Birmingham, and it’s excellent. Great service, great atmosphere, great food. Slightly expensive, and if you are sat near the door not ideal. Have been twice now, and on the second visit we did wait what felt slightly too long for our table considering we had a reservation. However the food was so good it was immediately forgotten.

The food is fantastic with great value for money! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portion sizes were generous. The environment is clean, spacious, and comfortable — perfect for gathering with friends or family. Highly recommended for hot pot lovers!

Had the buffet at Happy Lamb and really enjoyed it! The food was fresh, the variety was great, and the soup bases were full of flavour. The meat and vegetables were constantly replenished, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great value for money and perfect for hotpot lovers. Will definitely come back!

when we arrived we were seated immediately at a nice table, the service was great and staff were all very friendly and after we explained that this is our first time at a hotpot restaurant, they clearly explained how to do everything. the food was delicious and there were so many vegetable, seafood, and carbohydrate options to add into the hotpot. this was by far one of my most favourite restaurant experiences!

Our second time and had a lovely meal with the family. Lovely service, the waiter was so helpful and friendly. Food was fresh and lots of choice. We love how it caters for everybody's taste as there is cooked and fried food that the younger kids enjoy (older ones and adults do too!). Fresh fish and seafood, lots of veg and carb options and the ice-cream machine was great! We also love how the soup is halal and they specifically tell you what has pork in.

Visited Happy Lamb Hot Pot for lunch today, located right in Birmingham Chinatown – very convenient! Currently there’s a lunch deal: reduced from £20.99 to £19.99 per person. Plus, you can enjoy unlimited soft drinks (worth £2.99) for free by simply posting at least 3 photos and short review on selected social media platforms. The only minor downside is that venison (deer meat), one of the usual three meat options, wasn’t available today – only lamb and beef were offered. Still, overall it was a decent hot pot experience and good value for a casual lunch.

Would have dropped a star because the ice cream machine wasn’t working and they no longer have crispy beancurd rolls but service was absolutely top notch today. Dropped my chopsticks twice and on both occasions someone replaced them right away!

A good variety of food choices. Tried the chicken broth and tomato based soup, both taste pretty good! Do recommend it if you are living around Birmingham and craving for Chinese hotpot!

I shop at the Asda Small Heath store quite often, and my experience has been mixed. On the positive side, the store is well-stocked with a good selection of groceries, fresh produce, and household items. The prices are reasonable, and they often have special offers that help save money. However, the store can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, making it a bit chaotic. The self-checkout machines sometimes have issues, and it can take time to get staff assistance. Some staff members are helpful and friendly, but at times, it feels like there aren’t enough of them on the shop floor. One downside is the outside area, where there are often people asking for money near the entrance, which can be uncomfortable. The parking is decent, but it can get crowded.

Asda is a great place for everyday shopping. The store is clean, well-organised, and easy to navigate. The staff are always friendly and willing to help, which makes shopping here a pleasant experience. love going and doing my weekly shop there. x

This is the busiest Asda that I know of and they've stupidly removed almost all of the tills. They only have 2 open at a time (3 if you're lucky). They've replaced the tills with self-checkouts. This has caused an already busy store to become like a farm, even during what were previously quieter times. There are staff members walking up and down the tills, trying to get people to use the self-checkouts. They were telling us it's faster, which is only true if you're buying a few items. I bought 10 items today and I had to call a staff member over 4 times because the self-checkout was playing up. The poor woman was looking after a dozen self-checkouts, she was running around trying to sort out all the flashing red lights. It's illogical to expect customers to scan a trolley full of shopping. Not everyone is good with technology and it slows the queues down. I understand if it was for basket shops, but they're pushing everyone to use the self-checkouts and some of the shops people do are big. This is another example of rich people at the top pushing to save money by reducing their staff. There are so many staff members I've seen working there for years who I don't see there anymore. I'm pretty sure they've been sacked/made redundant.

I shop at Asda Small Heath quite often. The store is well-stocked with a good range of groceries and fresh produce, and the prices are reasonable with plenty of offers. It does get busy at times, and the self-checkouts can be a bit slow, but overall it’s a convenient place to shop.

I had a very disappointing experience at Asda Small Heath. The middle-aged woman at the kiosk near the entrance was extremely rude and unprofessional. She spent around five minutes chatting with the English lady in front of me in the queue before even acknowledging me. When she finally did, there was no greeting or basic customer service. Despite me thanking her as I was leaving, she gave no response, which I found quite shocking. This behaviour felt like outright discrimination, and I hope the management addresses this issue. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have had a negative experience with this particular staff member.

walked into asda today walked into the george section and met a guy called armaan he went above and beyond to help me purchase all the shopping i needed because i have a bit of difficulties he’s a great asset to asda without him i would’ve been struggling i think he deserves a promotion or employee of the month asda needs more hero’s like him.regards mr shah.

A relatively small supermarket and unless you live in close proximity I can’t see why you wouldn’t go to Morrisons instead. I collect my parcels from here and the system in place is terrible. They have the parcels in a drawer behind them with no organisation and can spend ages locating your parcel. Another time I needed to buy 3 boxes of cat food and the worker really started harassing me to buy 4.

Smelled of smoke when u enter the building. It's bigger but not for me or my parents staff are rude at the basket area cause you can't take small trolley through cause they think we are gonna shop lift!! So they must have alot of shoplifters so that's why we don't go to bearwood alot now it's all gone down hill!! Rather stick to Oldbury to do our shopping.

This store seems to have been modernised and updated as it has changed inside. All for the better. The place seems busy all day long although probably eases off the later it gets. A limited selection of just about everything one might require all at a very good price. Staff seem busy but helpful.

Disgusting service here. Staff accusing of shoplifting after walking in with half used items from there. And suprise surprise the alarms didn't go off because guess what.. I'd paid for the items. After finding out I was in the right let me go with no apology. Not the first time. Train your staff better. Focus on your shoplifters not your reliable customers paying your wages.

I had a very unpleasant experience at this store. The security staff acted unprofessionally by stopping me for a search without any evidence of theft. When I asked for an explanation, they simply justified their actions by claiming it was part of their duties. This made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I don’t understand how such low standards are acceptable for this job, especially when they hire individuals with such poor intelligence and a complete lack of professionalism. I hope the management addresses this issue.

How does this store consistently manage to produce such good quality food? Everything is excellent from the price, variety and taste, it beats other supermarkets hands down

Massive refurb and expansion took about a year must have cost a fortune but in all honesty they needn't have bothered! The old store was much better laid out and didn't really feel much smaller 🙄

The security at this store is very rude. I was there today, 3.05.25, bought 80 pond. My basket was full and I took it with me to the car. The security guard cursed me with obscenities, snatched the basket out of my hands, and told me not to come again (there was only obscenities)

All sunscreen on offer 3 for 2 at £7.70 each but was charged £30!!!! (2 at £7.70 and 1 at 14.50) because the barcode was wrong! Customer service couldn’t change it or do much so just had to get a refund as all barcodes were same! Pathetic service! But it don’t surprise me with this Tesco had issues with a rude worker on self check out previously - literally the handful of staff there who are good at there job and helpful and know what there doing are wasted there!

My friend was buying his whiskey and One of the employees ( dark and chubby with glasses on) asked me for an photo ID card. Does it make any sense. I was buying my veggies and he was buying his stuff. He referred that it was company policy. If it is sorry to say you should change it. If not, sack this guy immediately. You can ask gitesh about his name.

Tesco superstore is good for buying groceries. You will get lot of indian and global food here. You will have regular promotions going on. ALSO F&F clothing gives 25% discount regularly.

Absolutely disgusting service from team support Rajesh ..... escalators and lifts not working which led to customers being unable to shop without trolleys ... rajesh was nonetheless bothered and walked off despite me informing him I have a disability and required support to access a trolley. I even informed him a fellow tesco member supported a lady wjth accessing a trolley ... Rajesh just pulled a face and walked off. Another staff member black female with dreadlocks also refused to provide support. This tesco is very unprofessional and unhelpful

Revolting place! There was food all over the floor, there's a pungent smell of damp. To top it off, the staff's behaviour matched the shop's condition-crap! every little helps my foot. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Visited at 07.00 expecting to get coffee. Costa machine filthy and no cups. Toilets disgusting. No toilet paper. Disabled toilet had paper but seat broken. Management need to get in early and sort this.

I don’t even want to give one star they need to train some of the staff there so rude, all they know is speaking rude to customer. I look for the staff but I couldn’t find any of the staff but I saw 2 staff were helping one customer and I went to them and said excuse me they ignored me then I said again excuse me one of the staff Instantly said I’m helping the customer without when listening To me I said let me say something but he was not listening then I said does it take 2 people to help one 1 person then the other guy approached me with sick attitude and rudely said what you want, I asked where can I find printer ink he said we don’t sell printer ink, I work in customer service and i would never speak rude and ignore even if im helping someone else. So please teach them how to speak to customer and not lie about something if they don’t know help.

Nice clean local shop with good range of groceries and other seasonal items. Good range of flowers too. The staff are generally very friendly. The car park is excellent and given the lack of parking on the High Street or any nearby roads very much needed.

I've been at this Waitrose store for almost 4 years now. The quality of their fruits and veggies can be a bit hit or miss. Sometimes they're great, other times they're rotten. I think the quality has gone down a bit lately. When I go, the berry shelves are usually empty. But they do have a really cool selection of exotic fruits like dragon fruit, papaya, and persimmon, which I appreciate. I like Waitrose for all the healthy, quality products they have. On the plus side, the staff are always friendly, and I usually get in and out pretty quickly because there aren't usually long lines at the self-checkout. Oh, and if anyone from Waitrose happens to read this review, please continue to sell seeded grapes. You don't know how much I appreciate this. 😁

Its a really good sized branch and very well maintained. Always spick and span. The shelves are always well stocked and the prices are Waiyrose prices so you know what to expect. Its not Asda afterall. There is so much free parking in their huge car park that you will have no issue driving - but you also have the street parking. The staff are always well turned out, knowledgable and eager to assist. If you want a quality shop that wont disappoint and dont mind the prices, then you wont go wrong here.

Good variety of products. The place to come when you’re looking for something obscure. Clean, wide aisles with lots of stock. Prices aren’t as awful as reputed to be. Waitrose Essential is on par with premium elsewhere, and cheaper. However. Some of the staff are almost openly racist. I hate to say it, as I have been shopping here for years, but I will call it like I see it. But hey, it makes for an interesting shop. Everyone loves being treated like they’re inferior.. don’t they? It’s a “them and us” mentality toward customers, like many other inferior supermarkets. They used to help by taking you to where items are that you’re looking for (and in fairness, a few still do), but the rest just vaguely wave off in a direction. I hear how some staff talk to others, especially to those from an ethnic background, and I want to step in sometimes because it is awful. And those poor people just tolerate it.

Used to be great but have stopped stocking a lot of things. Have also been informed they no longer stock certain items only to see them back on the shelves - and online info says they stock certain items which I have been told they actually don't stock...this can be confusing. Have found staff to be rude a couple of times lately too, which is unusual for this store, so I wonder what's happening in the background. A staff member told me last year that the air conditioning is always broken and its cold so the staff are always sick. Perhaps that's why! Its a shame to see this store go downhill the last few years.

Ordered home delivery a bunch and the service has always been good - the items are packed with care and double bagged. Thank you so so much! Such a relief to have a reliable shopping service ☺️

Absolutely awesome lovely fresh delicious Sushi Harbourne Waitrose Birmingham store new In store sushi Barr.Staff serving was so helpful he assisted me with purchasing lunch different concept for me the choice of salmon sushi crunch so lovely tasty Thank you so much for being at store.

Possibly the worst Sainsbury's in the UK. Horrible layout that seems to have no logic as to where anything is, aisles far too close to each other, cages of food everywhere making an already claustrophobic space even smaller, staff that only talk to each other over the headsets and ignore customers. It is my local and I will go literally anywhere else than here

Horrible service in this store on two occasions I have been approached by employee Paul who I have told I don’t want to be served by as he makes me feel uncomfortable. I’m a local and have a disability and every time I come into this store I feel unwelcome by the lady manager who will completely ignore me and laugh and joke with Paul at the counter when I’m using the self service. Despite me always being polite and a regular customer.

Poor selection of goods - mainly snacks for students and those staying in cheap hotels. Untidy, busy, noisy and dirty shop. Unlike any other Sainsbury’s I’ve been to. Needs a good overhaul!

Decent selection of sandwiches and snacks if you are stocking up for the day and is easily accessible from lots of the major hotels. Open until 11pm if you need something late too. Loads of self service checkouts, which is lucky as the staff clearly don't want to engage with the public ... No eye contact, chatting on headsets, no interaction at all

Come on!!! Baskets are so dirty, almost mouldy and sticky!!! Should I put my food inside of that and afterwards on my fridge?!?! Mad?! Also, webs and dust on top of bakery products! And the shop stinks too! Come on guys!

Been going here a while because I work locally, if I want to buy anything with age verification I can't use the self check out as no one is available, security won't do it and the checkout staff even if free will ignore you. I go to the check out each time for energy drinks and get the rudest service from the same guy, Paul, absolutely blanks anything you have to say. Even just said hello when I went to the checkout, completely ignored, asked him to keep something separate the other day and again completely ignored. Just sick of it

Customer service doesn't exist... attitude lady behind tilt was shocking, looks like they doing favor by doing their jobs....im local customer and quality of service is just below minimum. Its funny this store receiving only 1 start since long time, everyone is aware is indoor market had way higher quality but still same people there...Shame!!

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.
