The 30 Best Arabic cuisine restaurant in Birmingham

“Scrupulously clean shop and very friendly customer service. Top marks. Freshly fried falafel was light and easy to eat. I prefer it with more herbs & spices in the mix and tahini sauce (which surprisingly they don't offer) but it was still pretty good and @£4 for a loaded and filling sandwich, excellent value. I'll be back with my own tahini and green chilli&coriander sauce! The baklava was also very fresh and quite tasty. I shall spread the word!”

“I've found a new Moroccan place to do with the family in the future. Six of us visited for the first time: friendly owners, wonderful food, and a peaceful atmosphere all contributed to an highly enjoyable evening out. Thank you!”

“Went with a group of 3, lovely friendly and helpful staff, food was top draw,from the soup and large nan, to the mixed grill, and finished of with a cup tea. At £15 a head,you can't go wrong.”

“I had a great experience at Quvali Birmingham. The service was excellent, and our server Sandesh was especially impressive—friendly, attentive, and great at serving the food. The dishes were delicious, and the overall atmosphere made the visit even better. Highly recommended!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Delicious Halal Sunday Roast – Great Value and Service If you’re looking for a halal restaurant in Birmingham that serves a proper Sunday roast, this is a must-visit! The restaurant offers a clean, bright, and welcoming environment, just a 30-minute walk from the Bull Ring shopping centre. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service from the moment I arrived. My meal started with a warm, flavourful meat broth soup served promptly after ordering. For the main course, I had the chicken roast — tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. The vegetables were fresh and full of flavour, and the Yorkshire pudding was light and fluffy. Other roast options included lamb, salmon, or a combination of chicken and lamb. To finish, I enjoyed their freshly baked sprinkle cake, which was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. At £27 per person, the whole experience offered excellent value for money. Fully halal, great food, and friendly service — highly recommended for anyone in Birmingham looking for a quality halal Sunday roast experience.”

“Had one of the best shawarmas here. The chicken was exceptionally seasoned and the wrap was toasted to perfection”

“Good portions and absolutely tasty food. Nice blend of spices which you can feel everytime you have a bite. There is also a small Shisha place around the back where we spend most of our time with mint tea and Baklava which is must try. Good customer service and definitely go back again.”

“The food was excellent. We shared the cold mixed mezzes, about 7 interesting tastes with a little green salad. I liked how they used cucumber slices between the different mezzes to keep them apart. The dips that they give you to start with flat bread were nice. We shared the sigara boregi and one chicken shish and it was plenty.”

“Our first visit to the Olive Garden. We visited on the recommendation of a relative and it was fairly good. We ordered the grill platter and Iskender Falafel. The grill was more than enough for two and had a good amount of variety. Did find it somewhat bland, but that's because we normally prefer spices. However, the Olive Garden does offer a good alternative to the standard Indian grills. So it's probably a great option if you prefer less spicy foods. We were served by Hannah and the level of service was excellent. Most likely will visit again to try other menu entries. The restaurant is very clean and is furnished to a good standard. The only small issue was the latch on the male washroom: it doesn't lock.”

“I recently dined at Mezze Restaurant and had an exceptional experience! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered a falafel wrap, chicken kebab, batata harra, and tea, and each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was incredible; the staff made sure we were very well looked after from start to finish. I felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated throughout my visit. I would definitely recommend Mezze Restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal and outstanding service. I'll certainly be coming back again. Thank you for everything!”

“Delicious mutton ever I had in England. Chicken seekh was yummy. Overall best experience at MyLahore. Thanks Fahad for wonderful service .”

“Delicious food, amazing and friendly staff. I would give this more than 5 stars, if there is!”

“Best restaurant experience I’ve had in Birmingham. Warm welcome into restaurant, helpful recommendations of food. The tea is beautiful, we ended up ordering two pots. Starters all so full of flavour, food came quickly. Mains really generous portions and meat cooked so well! You can see the team making all the food fresh. Service so friendly. And they made me feel so comfortable bringing my newborn in, even held him so I could eat. Made us feel right at home the whole time. Will be returning again and again.”

“My favourite breakfast spot in Bham. It has a really nice decor. I always come back for the saffron tea because I just can’t find it anywhere! We had the breakfast meze and it was such a feast! We chose the baba ghanoush, Shakshouka, damascena fuul and falafels. Had a party in my mouth dipping flatbreads in the different dips. The falafels were beautifully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. And it’s also not heavy on the pocket.”

“Beautiful food. Great service. Would definitely recommend!”

“Authentic Lebanese & Moroccan Flavours! This restaurant truly captures the essence of Lebanese and Moroccan cuisine. We ordered two platters—one chicken and one mixed meat—and both were full of rich, authentic flavour. The food was beautifully presented, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. Great service, warm atmosphere, and a genuine taste of tradition. Highly recommended!”

“I had a fantastic experience at Kemal Pasha Restaurant in Birmingham. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. The atmosphere is cosy yet vibrant, perfect for both family dinners and gatherings with friends. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, and you could really taste the authenticity in the Turkish and Mediterranean flavours. The portions were generous, and the quality was outstanding for the price. The service was excellent too – friendly, attentive, and professional. The staff made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Overall, Kemal Pasha is a real gem in Birmingham. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic cuisine, great service, and a warm dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
