“We recently hosted a private function at Divine Restaurant in Shirley, Solihull on Saturday 30th May 2025, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re a team from EH Smith, and we had exclusive use of the restaurant for the evening – and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, professional, and attentive. The team at Divine went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The ambiance was lovely, and the restaurant felt welcoming and vibrant, perfectly suited for our group event. The food? Outstanding. Every single dish was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and authentically Indian. From the starters to the desserts, everything was top-notch – our whole team was raving about it! There was something for everyone, and all dietary needs were catered for without any fuss. A huge thank you to the entire team at Divine Restaurant for making our evening so memorable. We will absolutely be returning – whether for another private event or just a delicious dinner. Highly recommended! — The EH Smith Team”

“I recently visited ME YOU / Desserts & Burgers and was blown away by the quality of the food and drinks. The burger was juicy and full of flavor, the karak chai was perfectly spiced and soothing, the Oreo milkshake was creamy and indulgent, and the pistachio milk cake was incredibly moist and delicious. Each item was crafted with care, and the combination of flavors made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving great food and desserts!”

“Regularly eat here and always been great food, friendly staff! Desi cinnamon special is a highlight that can't easily be found elsewhere.”

“Found this by chance when walked near the Victoria Town Hall. I saw good review on Google map and never regret with my decision to give a try and the influence of the good reviews. The lamb is super yummy, when I start eating I was doubting was I ordering a beef steak but it wasn’t, is lamb. I’m very impressed with the texture and the taste of the gravy. Excellent! The appetisers and snacks are all yummy and served in style. This is a place where you see the restaurant manager guiding the trainee students and they execute their role up to standard. I’m not sure who is the lady that guiding the trainees but I just very certain she is a great person to take care of the restaurant and the trainees. She oversees the overall services and the training. Impressive! And Appreciate!”

“Genuinely the best meal I have ever eaten. Every bite was delicious and extremely well thought out. The wine paring was spot on too. The service was lovely and personal. We were in a 2 Michelin star restaurant last week and this place tops its. Come on Michelin Man pull your finger out and get at least one star hanging up in here.”

“I been to the one in tyseley and enjoyed the food their, then they moved their branch to ladypool road. I had the lambo which was chicken steak my meal cost £17.90 as I got the large size and a mocktail. as a nice gesture they give you a dipping tray and nachos to try out the unique sauces to pick for your dishes, I picked the Naga mustard flavour for my steak. The food was really nice, only issue I had was the place was kind of stuffy during the hot days and surprisingly the place seems quiet compared to how it use to be in tyseley so highly recommended to try. The lighting is kind of dark so not sure if that puts people off when walking past. And the large portion doesn't seem large.”

“Food was so delicious I had the platter for 2-3. Everything on it tasted amazing. Excellent value for money. loved the atmosphere. I felt like I was in turkey. Very clean and tidy. I would be definitely returning again.”

“Vaz and team were lovely providing authentic Portuguese food and drinks at a reasonable price of high quality. Would definitely recommend.”

“A proper lovely Italian and the food is superb. Great atmosphere and lovely ambience.”

“Really happy with our evening meal. Great atmosphere and lovely staff”

“We came here with a big group of family - meeting from different parts of the country - in the gap between Christmas and New Year and had a lovely welcome. They had no trouble accommodating our big group and brought a selection of delicious dishes, tej (honey wine) and beautiful traditional Ethiopian coffee and spiced tea. They really made our occasion special.”

“An unforgettable taste of home right here in England! My recent visit to Classic Restaurant and Lounge was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at ease. The highlight of my visit was the incredible jollof rice – a dish that transported me straight back to the flavors of home. The rich blend of spices and the perfect texture of the rice truly made it a remarkable culinary experience. To my surprise, they even had EWA Igoyin on the menu, a beloved classic I thought I could only find in Nigeria. The attention to detail in every dish was evident, reflecting both authenticity and creativity. The ambience was cozy and relaxing, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The staff were not only attentive but also passionate about sharing the essence of Nigerian cuisine. Classic Restaurant and Lounge has masterfully captured the essence of home-cooked flavors, making it a true gem for those seeking a taste of nostalgia. Whether you're craving a bit of comfort or a culinary adventure, this place has it all. A heartfelt thanks to the entire team for creating such an amazing experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu”

“Amazing food and excellent service with great atmosphere. Will definitely come back.”

“fantastic dumplings & ackee salt fish. not my favourite festivals but still very tasty. the sorrel & ginger was fantastic. lovely service!! super quick too. shame the patties i wanted and sky juice were sold out already but the afternoon. goes to show how good it is though”

“I’ll be totally honest, I gave 5 stars because the price reflected what I got. It was not a good quality breakfast by a mile, but if you don’t mind cheaper produced foods then it is fine for the price. Service very good”

“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!”

“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!”

“A true gem in the dining world! A place I have had the privilege of experiencing multiple times and each time improving on perfection! Talking on my last visit I must say this is a epicentre in not only the midlands but also the UK that all food and wine lovers must attend. We enjoyed the Chefs Table along with Wine pairings and it truly was an amazing experience. Every piece of food so thoughtfully made within eyesight and explained by the accompanying chef. Wonderfully enjoyed beyond words, needs to be eaten to believe. Each course served with a perfectly matched wine from the truly knowledgeable Sommelier with a knowledge base far reaching every question asked! The kitchen staff themselves being an amazing team working together in a fluid atmosphere with the real life day to day, and the amazing teamwork to create the most amazing food all under the eye of Chef Adam. A true great.”

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

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Delicious, flavourful Turkish cuisine — especially grilled meats, kebabs, mixed platters and classic sides.  ✅ Generous portions and good value for money — often mentioned in reviews.  ✅ Friendly, attentive staff — many comments about polite and helpful service.  ✅ Fresh, hot food served well — many diners enjoy the authentic taste and good presentation. Highly recommended to everyone”

“5* absolutely earned on our visit. Having never eaten Nepalese food previously but able to cook authentic Indian food we wanted advice. Our waiter not only offered advice to suit our pallet but explained even what spices were used. Wow what a fantastic meal. I really hope you’re not disappointed WE WEREN’T Thank you to all the helpful staff.”

“Never had a bad experience there, but last night's Chinese menu was the best one ever, well done all! X”

“Went for a birthday meal on Tuesday 25th June. We were seated upstairs. The staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming. The tapas dishes we had were all delicious especially the pork belly each dish were flavoursome had 6 dishes in total between the 2 of us. We also ordered pratas bravas, chorizo, harissa chicken, casa med salad and bread with balsamic and oil. It was very filling so had no room for desert. With the 15% it was well worth it. I was pleasantly surprised how much it was so I recommend going on a Tuesday. This is the place to go for a special occasion.”

“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.”
