French restaurant in Birmingham

“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.”

“Very intimate venue with a classic decor. Generous portion sizes and great flavours, absolutely wholesome food. Starters - goat cheese parcel and king scallops were fantastic. The thermidor sauce on the scallops was a highlight. Mains - steak dolceletta and lamb ragu raviolini. Both fantastic and loved the homemade pasta. Steak had some very complimentary blue cheese. Desserts - were both not really dessert people due to poor quality in restaurants but these were lovely, I had the pavlova and it was massive but still light. If we had to critique, the service felt a little rushed and the ambience was affected by the music that was dicey/dated Would go again 4 alcoholic drinks 2 starters 2 mains 2 desserts 1 side £115”

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

“Sareena and Zarah were honestly amazing! They were both super friendly and made sure my order was perfect. Even though it was really busy, they stayed upbeat and handled everything so efficiently.”

“We had our Christmas party here last night at the Christmas party night - and that it was. The whole night was fantastic - from being greeted on the car park to the amazing meal to the bar, the staff, the disco - it was all fabulous. The team were so professional and attentive, a real credit to The School House . The meal - wow, everyone commented on how beautiful the meal was. The disco - great music, great dj- really got the party going. We all had such a lovely night. On behalf of us all thank you for the best Christmas party we’ve had, we will definitely see you next year”

“Came here in April as a celebration meal and Paparazzi delivered. Their atmosphere, service and food was amazing. Really enjoyed my meal and the service from the staff was professional and friendly.”

“I doubted family run Traditional Italian Restaurants after experiencing so so quality food and samey options delivered by overly passionate staff. Portobello Restaurant has put my faith back in the Italian culinary experience. On entering I was met by grounded, accommodating staff that ensured I was happy with the choice of table. Staff were smiley, chatty and assisted joyfully with the menu options. I opted for some nibbles and their excellently priced 2 courses for £19.95. The atmosphere in Portobello Restaurant is relaxed, sociable and family oriented. The minimalist artistic interior beams with natural light. Dishes were superbly presented, quality was evidently high. The jelly babies and hand written “thank you” on the bill echoed the care they provide to their customers. A wonderful experience.”

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This Romanian restaurant looks great after the refurb. The food is delicious, authentic, and the portions are big for a good price. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Definitely worth a visit!”

“i’m a regular here and they have never failed me, food is 10/10. Always go for the smash burger meal with chicken loaded fries and never failed me. Service is always good and love that they always open till late. I’m not one to usually leave reviews, but these guys deserve all 5 stars.”

“Went there 1st time it was first class food excellent staff very welcoming. Looking forward for another visit soon. You won't be disappointed.”

“I dine out a lot when away with work and this is one of the best meals I’ve had. An unassuming little gastropub / restaurant which is tastefully decorated and offers a superbly warm and friendly welcome and seriously delicious food. Can whole heartedly recommend the delicate cauliflower Pakora starter with equally delicious dips elegantly placed on the plate. The Bay Tree Rossini (fillet steak on a pate croute with rich mushroom sauce), was amazing. For £26 I was expecting it to be good but this - for a little eatery in an off-the-beaten-track Midlands village - was superb. The service was genuine but unobtrusive and even the chef came out to see if the dinner was enjoyable. Highly recommended.”

“I don't bother to review unless the experience is extremely unsatisfactory or highly pleasing. Happy to say this fell into the latter. Been craving for some burger, decided to go on a Thursday night to find the place totally empty. Still sceptical, was looking at the menu, when a friendly chap greeted us. There are good options for non-veg(beef/chicken) and veg burgers and wraps. We decided on a avo-chicken and a farm house veg burger for my partner. With little expectations we waited for our food, but pleasantly surprised when it arrived in huge portions. The chicken was perfectly grilled with good flavours of parsley and herbs which I enjoyed, seemed to be a Turkish/mid eastern take on chicken patty. The veg burger was also delectable with fried cheese. The chips were super crispy and batter fried with proper seasonings. While waiting, there were quite a few takeaways, so wasn't that empy after all. In all we had a very satisfied meal, very much recommended.”

“I ordered oxtail with rice and veggies from this Jamaican/Caribbean takeaway, and honestly, it hit the spot. The oxtail was the star of the plate — juicy, rich, and full of flavour. I couldn’t help myself! Big shoutout to Mel, because I’m sure she was the one behind the pot. She really did her thing with the cooking. After a long and tiring day at work, that food brought me back to life. It lifted my mood, gave me energy, and turned my Sunday into a proper good one. I genuinely appreciate the beautiful food they make here. Definitely worth it.”

“Great customer service, I don't go in that often but they always remember I don't like vinegar! Great value for money and portion sizes, and their chips aren't as oily and are so much better than other chip places around. Their balti and chips is amazing. Packaging is a box and is so much better than paper, even if you just buy chips. 5/5”

“I placed a telephone order to take away. The customer service was outstanding and the staff were very friendly and polite. The service was very professional. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be ordering again. Thank you very much. Husna”

“I went to Mughal e Azam for brunch and it was amazing. The place is really clean with a nice aesthetic and the staff were so polite and friendly. The lady at front of house was warm and welcoming which set a good vibe straight away. Our waiter Bilaal was really great too, really professional and friendly, he took our order with ease and made sure everything was perfect throughout. The food tasted fresh, full of flavour and was presented really well. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and I’d definitely recommend it.”

“Lovely sizzling sheesh kebab starter, lamb madras main, succulent. Keema naan and keema rice very tasty. Lovely round tables. Very attentive staff. Will be going back”

“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.”

“I honestly can’t understand the negative reviews for this restaurant — they must be thinking of somewhere else! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with friendly smiles and a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The staff are always lovely and attentive, often recommending fresh specials or dishes that aren’t even on the menu. The food isn’t complicated — it’s simply prepared with care and skill, which makes all the difference. And the chicken… oh, the chicken! It’s cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavour, the kind that makes your mouth water the moment it arrives at the table. I’ve been eating here for as long as I can remember, and I have never had a bad meal. Consistently excellent food, warm service, and a homely atmosphere — it’s one of those rare places that you want to return to regularly, even after 20 years”

“First time I came here to celebrate my friend’s 60th birthday. Very easy to find, right opposite pigeon park, where St Philip’s Cathedral is. Name of restaurant is big and clear, and can’t be missed. I arrived early and was greeted by Astrida, who was lovely! I was holding a big bunch of flowers, which she kindly put away for me and she instantly made me feel very welcome. Tamarah was also very friendly. As I sat and waited for my friends to arrive, I was approached by every member of staff, who asked me if I wanted a drink whilst I was waiting. The customer service was just brilliant! The interior of the restaurant is very stylish and the toilets are posh! The only negative comment I have is that I ordered a main meal (I can’t remember what it was called, but it was newly added to the menu - pasta, white sauce). The proportion of this meal was not enough for it to be served as a main meal. It was something you would expect if you ordered a starter. Proportions of other meals might be ok, but not for this meal. I will still give this restaurant 5 stars as we had a great time, but please take my comments on board, as customers want good value for money.”

“I come to the Restaurant Hub in Selly Oak all the time as a student, both to eat and to get some work done, and it’s consistently one of my favourite spots in the area. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is relaxed enough to study in while still feeling lively. The staff are amazing and always make the place feel welcoming. A special shoutout to Pedro who is always incredibly friendly, warm, and helpful every time I visit. His energy genuinely makes the experience even better. Highly recommended for good food, good vibes, and a great place to work or hang out.”

“Went for Sunday lunch yesterday for my husbands birthday . The food was cooked perfectly & piping hot , it was delicious , a lovely atmosphere , decorated lovely for Christmas . The staff were very friendly & attentive .”

“I've gone past this place many times but I finally booked a table with a few friends. Great food. The seafood platter was very tasty. Portions were not huge but more than adequate and it's good value as well. The service was relaxed so you didn't feel rushed. Lovely views as well.”

“We’ve been a few times over the last few weeks after a work colleague recommended it. For a staff meal & a family meal. Staff are very helpful & efficient. We enjoyed the early bird special it was very good value and lots of variety. The kitchen is open plan and looked very clean tidy & efficient. I love open plan kitchens when eating out. Highly recommend for a large or small table booking you will be well looked after”

“We have recently tried the Sunday carry-away from Christopher Tamworth, and they are an absolute delight! The food is worth every penny, and the taste was amazing. The gravy was so good that you could practically drink it straight from the pot. And I can’t forget to mention that their sticky toffee pudding is the best I’ve ever had. The quality and flavours exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend giving their Sunday dinners and puddings a try; you won’t be disappointed!”

“Love it here my girlfriend took me once and now its my favourite the food is beautiful and cooked fresh .. nice chef special also and if you look up the do deals on certain days too”

“Lamb chop is a must have, delicious food and amazing Nan. The soup was also very nice. Will definitely try again. Would recommend to anyone.”

“Enjoyed a great breakfast with friends the food was very well cooked and presented. A good place for coffee etc when visiting the garden centre and associated specialist shop. Well presented outdoor seating area with goldfish pond and gardens. We will be going back again and again I feel.”

“A good vibe on Thursday for those who are lovers of old skool music. Arrive early as the venue is popular!”
