Cozy atmosphere dining in Birmingham

“First time visiting China city tonight. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Staff were wonderful, food arrived quickly and tasted great. Lovely atmosphere and nothing too much trouble.”

“Love this place! Moved into the area, a little over a year ago. Started drinking in the Bellmans, and was welcomed by the staff almost instantly. The locals are friendly and welcoming, Dom the owner, fantastic man, great chef, always makes the effort to say hello and shake your hand, all the staff make the effort, every time you pop in. very much feel like a local myself now! Thank you!”

“The service was very good and the food came really quickly even though it was busy. Lastly, the dishes tasted amazing, would recommend. Will be returning as always.”

“Ali was incredibly helpful to sort out an outfit for family gatherings - especially with recommending the best material, colour and fit after we’ve tried a few shalwar kameez’s. Thank you so much for your amazing service and kind smile!”

“Great selection of sweet and savoury crêpes! The crêpes are really thin and delicious! The coffee is strong and the prices are low! There is outdoor seating if you like! The go to place to energise your morning!”

“The ladies were soso nice and gave us great suggestion on what to try out! I got the scrambled eggs with smoke salmon and it was delishhh My friend got the breakfast egg benedict, also really good! Super recommended!”

“Layali Lounge truly lives up to its name! I visited tonight and had a perfect experience. The shish was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this lounge to anyone looking for a great night out.”

“Best home made food in Birmingham, very good prices.”

“The food and service at Hollywood Fish Bar is always excellent. The staff have always been very friendly and patient. You can observe how efficient and knowledgeable the staff are as they go about preparing your order. It's always a joy to step into this new refurbished shop and order some of the most comforting and fresh food.”

“Visited this place with my friend before and it was so good I came back again with my wife today. The service was fantastic and the food tasted amazing from starters to mains to the Moroccan tea. I loved the visuals of the place and although I've not been to Morroco I felt like I was there. The friendly and attentive guy there made me enjoy my food even more. I would definitely recommend a visit. The price was also good considering the current cost of everything. Easily spend within £20 per person which gets you starter, main and a drink. Me and my wife spent £44 for the 2 starters, 2 mojitos, 2 mains (served with bread) and Morrocan tea.”

“An important part of Birmingham's past and present. Just stunning, grand but cosy and an environment you can really sink into. The staff are top notch!”

“Really lovely cafe, relaxing environment. A great menu to choose from, the waffles are delicious! Definitely recommend going!”

“Been a few weeks since I visited this delightful little restaurant and only got round to writing a review. Sorry it took so long. What can I say... amazing authentic Japanese, Thai, Korean Chinese food made fresh to order with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavours.  Not many of these halal options around and for the ones I've tried its hands down one of the best I've been to in Birmingham. Now has seating and is beautifully done up in side. To top it off its complimented with a welcoming team and excellent friendly customer service. Wishing you and your team huge success and thanks for looking after me and my brothers”

“Korean Fried chicken deliciously flavored with perfect crunch! Prefer this KFC. Too bad inflation raised prices a bit on some items ..a few years ago used tobe dirt cheap too.”

“Royal Shinwari never disappoints. This was our third visit and the food is always amazing. No other Shinwari or Pakhtoon/Afghan restaurant comes close especially their Afghani Tikka skewers. Absolutely the best in Birmingham!”

“We ordered some cold platters for a celebration party and they were so good. Everyone commented at the party and there was not a scrap left! We've also had hot food for a party before now and that was just as amazing. A family run, local restaurant with wonderful, friendly owners. Will definitely use them again.”

“The food was amazing, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. Every course was perfect. However, if I could remove half a star I would, as we went for the wine pairing and felt that the glasses of wine were so tiny and felt more like a wine tasting. They definitely didn’t qualify as a glass of wine (pictures added). Overall we had a great experience though!”

“Food is super delicious . Pizza is the best I have ever had in town and the salmon dish tastes very fresh and balanced. Upstairs is stunning, suitable for big bookings and big gatherings. Big thank you to Soroush for his amazing service . Will definitely be back again.”

“What an absolutely stunning meal! We really rated that there was a great selection of veggie and vegan options with some dishes that we hadn't tried before. Everything we tried was so fresh and delicious, but our favourite dishes were the Croquetas, Salantourmasi, Mango & Feta Salad and Lamb Koftas... Although the Churros stole the show, and were the nicest Churros we think we've ever eaten!!! The Sangria was absolutely delicious. When the karafe arrived I thought it would be too much but I quite happily glugged it down with my meal - refreshing and boozy, the perfect combination! The restaurant has a welcoming and cosy vibes, which we loved. Alex and Peter were such pros, you can tell they have been in the restaurant industry for a long time with their effortless hospitality and attention to detail! We really enjoyed our meal here and would happily return to try more of the menu, which rotates as the seasons change. And also for the Churros... They are worth driving to another city for alone!!!”

“Had a wonderful experience today at the launching of Ellimart Appetiser. The food was enjoyable. Loved it very much.”

“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.”

“Yeah, I enjoyed it! Great spot and decent amount of seating. I had scrambled egg & mushrooms on toast. Good service overall.”

“Lovely real ale pub with wide selection of ales and ciders. Available to purchase ham salad or cheese and onion cobs also whole pork pies to share. Nice beer garden at rear.”

“Absolutely loved this restaurant atmosphere! The food was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served hot. The staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome throughout. Great value for money. Highly recommend!”

“Had the Bottomless Brunch here as a birthday treat, and we received great service from start to finish. It was my first time here so wasn’t sure what to expect but we really enjoyed it. A few more dishes could be added to the menu but what we had was delicious. We also had 2 cocktails each and a bottle of Prosecco on the table. I’m sure they would have bought us another bottle if we could have finished it but we were taking it slow due to a heavy one the night before! Definitely recommend and would come again!”

“Lovely staff, clean environment, generous portions and great value. Yum yum.”

“First time trying Sweet's Kitchen, honestly this place gets top marks from me. I love it when I go to a cuisine and it tastes like a beautiful home cooked meal. I had the large jerk chicken with rice and peas + a side of plantain. To drink I had sexy juice and a bottle water. The food was fresh and hot. Real great quality, rich and flavoursome dish Customer Service was 10/10. I will definitely be going back. Thanks guys ✌️”
