Cozy atmosphere dining in Birmingham

“I ordered afternoon tea to be delivered for Mother’s Day. (2 adults 1 child’s) I was so impressed, it arrived in plenty of time on the day and the quality of the food was 10/10. You can tell everything in the box was 100% homemade, quality produce. My sons kids box was ace too lots of sweets and fun bits in there for him so he was a happy boy! If I could give 6 * I would and I will definitely be ordering again. Maybe a Father’s Day picnic in the summer! Thank you Westwoods Kitchen it was a wonderful treat on Mother’s Day. Sascha.”

“I booked Chef Akudo for my wife’s 30th birthday and we were very pleased with the whole experience. It was a 3 course dinner and everything from the taste to presentation was very nice. He is also very friendly and taught us a few things about food science :)”

“My wife and I visited for a Sunday lunch and it was exceptional. The food was incredible and the staff were attentive and extremely friendly! Can’t wait to visit again!”

“Amazing accidental find and been twice in two days so well impressed with this place. It’s a small cosy family run Italian pizzeria with lots of atmosphere, great food and an amazing chef with his team. So for an 8pm booking, we had cocktails at the bar, starters, pizza (one of which was Vegan and Gluten free), followed by Tiramisu and Limoncello to end the evening - lovely night for first time visit. Big thanks for Chef Toni, Luke and Christian for their hospitality.”

“Had a full English breakfast here very nice will come again. Excellent service”

“Family dinner (4 adults and one 16month who loved the food, as we all did). Fabulous one man band on the night, welcoming, cooking, and serving great authentic food. Super tasty and fresh. Limited choice ensures the freshness and ingredient availability. We definately would come back and reccomend this sociable gem. Thank you.”

“Don't be underestimated by the size of this shop. The food is delicious. Menu is limited but what do you expected from a small business. The owner/worker of the shop is a very friendly and welcoming man who also let me try the meat before I bought a meal. 9.5/10 will be coming back!”

“We visited this Caribbean shop while traveling, and the experience was wonderful from the moment we walked in. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, treating us like family. While we waited for our food, he kindly offered my child a free drink, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The atmosphere felt inviting and genuine—like being welcomed into someone’s home. It’s rare to find this level of hospitality, especially where we live in Germany. We truly appreciated the kindness and wish we lived closer so we could come back more often!”

“Great little tea room. Been in twice now and must say that the food and service is top class.”

“Came across this hidden gem quite unexpectedly whilst house hunting in Bearwood accompanied with my aunt and brother. Not strictly speaking a restaurant but more a cafe/eatery. Weather was nice so we sat out front and it felt like al fresco dining in your favourite uncle's garden. Our lunches were yummy and freshly prepared. The service and meals were homely. Would definitely recommend and return.”

“I'm a regular customer, and the food is absolutely delicious! Always comes steaming hot, generous portions, and I can't even describe the taste! The flavours are beautiful and the meat just melts in your mouth. I will continue my custom absolutely!! See you soon!”

“I go here occasionally , I went here for scrambled egg on toast, my meal was perfect. I asked for plenty of butter , I got exactly what I asked for. I would recommend going here for a take away or an eat in meal. I've had take aways before. Fridah makes great sandwiches and the prices are great too , it's inexpensive. Fridayh will accommodate what ever you ask her for , I asked for a toasted club sandwich in the past which Fridah hadn't made before , she did it perfectly for me .Its a clean cafe , You can park outside . They are always welcoming.”

“Staff are always welcoming, today was busier than usual but I still received my usual service and food. Turkish toast and fried eggs with a flat white are always my go to! Never disappointed.”

“Popped in for a drink as it looked nice from the outside and ended up staying for three or four. The guys who own it were phenomenally friendly and the vibe was brilliant. Even brought us some tasters. Would recommend for sure, and we will be back.”

“We came for dinner on a Friday evening at 2030. It was out first time here and the small restaurant is lovely. Great atmosphere, modern decor and very clean and tidy. We were welcomed and seated quickly and had our drinks order taken by a young lady with brown hair who was very helpful and smiley! She informed us that the restaurant was very busy and there may be a small wait on food, which we didn't mind. Our drinks came quickly and she took our food order. We had the sharer platter for two. The food came out quickly, I certainly didn't think there was any kind of wait on food which is a credit to how hard the staff were working, especially the lady looking after us that did not stop the whole time we were in the restaurant and always happy to help and smiling. The food was absolutely delicious, our highlights were the ribs and the pork burger and there was plenty of it! We couldn't finish the platter. A brilliant experience for us with delicious food and 10/10 service. Would highly recommend and look forward to coming again.”

“Spotlessly clean and lovely friendly staff. We loved the menu, but as they were closing soon, we opted for sandwiches and a pot of tea. I had jerk chicken and rocket sandwich. It was really nice and spicy, with a generous filling. My partner had a cheese and ham toastie, which he said was excellent. Quality ingredients at decent prices. We'll be back over the weekend.”

“we came in at around 4pm and didn’t realise that they stopped serving food at 3pm on Tuesdays…a lovely lady that came and told us that decided to make us our food anyway even though she was already working overtime. a full 5 stars for this place!!! thank you so much :)”

“A unique restaurant with excellent service and outstanding food. We each has a three course meal for set price of £35. I had the baked camembert, then duck followed by raspberry cheesecake. Every course was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. The waiting staff were very attentive. We definitely will be back. Highly recommend.”

“Nipped in for a drink just before closing on a Sunday. 3 keg taps and a decent selection of beers in the fridge. Used to sell cask, but not any more. Lovely welcome and great little garden out the back. Will definitely be back, best place for a drink in the area”

“Lovely authentic Jamaican food, I ordered curry mutton, white rice with steam veg. Absolutely delicious. Will come again.”

“We had a wonderful time at Verbena. We arrived at 7pm and a couple of things had sold out/we ordered the last one, so I would just comment on that. Otherwise everything was great - the waitress was incredibly accommodating, the atmosphere was lovely and not too loud, and the final bill was reasonable.”

“The menu board had a small sign saying vegan and vegetarian available so I asked for a vegetarian breakfast, expecting a standard breakfast minus bacon and sausage which is fine to be honest but what I actually got was a freshly cooked breakfast with vegetarian sausage and veggie burger instead of meat. It was lovely too. I was starving and couldn't eat it all. Absolutely bang on.”

“I only had a coffee but it was a very good coffee. The service was great but the atmosphere a bit lacking due to me being the only customer.”

“Came here with my mom, atmosphere is 10/10. The decorations are lovely, nice homely feel. The staff were lovely and very accommodating, always checking up on us. The chips were tasty and the cocktails were lovely too. Everything about this place was great. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.”

“Lovely place to have breakfast. Always clean and friendly. Breakfast really tasty. Sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, hash browns, all really tasty. Looking forward to going there again.”

“Delicious food, amazing service, and beautiful atmosphere. I came here with my Family and we are so glad we chose lanonna restaurant Everything we ordered was outstanding and the service was incredible. The staff were so kind,”
