Lunch dining in Birmingham

“Lovely little cafe, the is a large selection of games of multiple styles and genres so plenty to choose from! The food is a really good portion size and great value for money alongside being super tasty. And to top it all off the owner Adam is lovely and nothing is ever too much trouble for them - always look forward to my visits to the cafe!”

“We had a lovely experience from start to finish!!! The atmosphere is great and very warm, and the service is very lovely! We ordered a fusion boat which included many different pieces of sushi and nigiri, variety was great. All the food was amazing and the drinks were too. I would recommend highly it’s a beautiful place with lovely food and a very calm and soothing atmosphere!!”

“I had dinner here and the food was absolutely delicious! The lamb karahi was rich, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. The lamb chops were juicy, tender, and beautifully seasoned. The grilled fish was fresh, well done, and packed with taste. Everything was cooked with great care and attention. Truly a wonderful dining experience – highly recommended!”

“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”

“Previously visited Cheals when based in Henley-in-Arden. This was our first time at their new location in Knowle and we had a wonderful time. The restaurant is much more spacious now and the interior tastefully decorated. So, first impressions were great. Our waiter gave a warm welcome and expertly guided us through the menu and wine list. A very capable front of house team. My wife and I opted for the a la carte lunch menu and with each course our enthusiasm for the next grew. The hardest thing is deciding between all the tempting choices on offer, so if your budget stretches to it, I'd go for the tasting menu for a real treat. The highlight for us both was the dessert course. What a selection of moreish puddings skillfully prepared. Hats off to their patisserie chef. We chose Cheals for our second wedding anniversary and were delighted we did. We'll definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend it to others too.”

“Amazing food we had mac n cheese, loaded fries and 2 pizzas, so tasty. We highly recommend”

“I have been here three times now, having visited for a third time today with a friend. I was immediately impressed when I received a vegan burger during my first visit and knew it was not your regular vegan burger. Instead it was a bun containing a generous helping of well-cooked roasted vegetables. Aubergine has never been a favourite vegetable of mine but with the vegan burger I not only tolerated it but actually enjoyed it and the whole medley of vegetables. They clearly know how to cook their food and being a great fan of learning more about cultures and cuisines this restaurant always brings a smile. During my other two visits I tried the halloumi burger which again was so comforting to eat. The food is certainly tender and you can never stop coming back for another bite. The burger dressings are always enjoyable and I also always enjoy how fries are included with the burgers. Furthermore, these fries are good fries, with a nice, slightly crispy coating and actually feel satisfying to eat. For drinks, I have tried one or two of their fruit juices now. Today, to go with my halloumi burger, I had Amita peach, a refreshing drink which felt quite natural. The staff are always friendly, warm and efficient. Food never seems to take long to arrive and it never takes me long to eat it! This is most definitely one of the places to go to eat if you are in Northfield. And well done for getting me to like aubergines!”

“We had a lovely visit to Paul at No 41. I ordered a pineapple juice, and my wife had an iced matcha both refreshing and well-prepared. For food, she went with the simple sandwich with bacon and egg, which hit the spot, while I had the 4-egg omelette loaded with salmon, cheese, and avocado generous and delicious. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. A great spot for a relaxed meal with quality service. We'll definitely be back!”

“Warmly welcomed by staff at the entrance who lead us our dinner table. Food was exquisit and staff we polite and attentive. We highly recommend it and would go back again.”

“We come from Hong Kong. The staff are friendly, the food is fabulous, especially the French fries and the burger, the bubble waffle also delicious, the price also makes sense. There are 2 tables and 8 chairs so we can eat in very well. Will definitely come again, sorry for my poor English.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Awesome. Great cozy place with good food. The staff are on a different level of awesome. This is how you do business right, attentive and careful, great cooking. Adding a Smash Burger on the menu would be an amazing addition.”

“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.”

“Lovely place! I had a tapioca crepe, and it was delicious (even the dressing on the side salad!). My coffee was also excellent. I will be back to try the other menu items and desserts. The gentleman serving me was very welcoming and friendly.”

“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.”

“My partner and I absolutely love this coffee shop! The coffee is amazing and the best in Bromsgrove! Every time we take our dog for a walk in town, we stop by and see Nathan at Twelve! If you're looking for a friendly environment and to support a small business then this is your place!”

“This is not your traditional pizza place, it is truly unique with a fantastic menu and lovely staff! We had a half and half pizza with hot honey pepperoni (more places defo need to do this) and Flaming Florence! Both sides were delicious but the Flaming Florence definitely packed the spicy kick! We also tried a Smash Edition loaded box, and loved it! The burger wasn’t overly greasy (very rare compared to other burger places), the fries were loaded with sauce chicken and jalapeños! The highlight though was the freshly made chicken tenders, soft and succulent with a delicious batter on! We really enjoyed this place and would recommend to our friends and family! In addition, they have an amazing Gaza initiative until the end of the year. Where the owner will personally buy a hot meal for a person in Gaza by donating £1 from every £10 spent by the customer! Another amazing reason to support this local business”

“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!”

“Kieron’s service was outstanding – he made everything so simple for us with our baby. He truly deserves a pay rise! The food came out hot and quickly, and the pornstar martinis were amazing. A brilliant experience overall.”

“Atmosphere was amazing, Sanjoy prepared a great menu and shared tons of knowledge. Was surprisingly full afterwards despite the small taster portions. But there was a lot to try! Sushi was 10/10, tempura was 10/10 miso soup was 10000/10. Sea urchin is not nice though can't lie. Taste like soap. -7/10”

“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,”

“Initially I wanted to get a takeaway dinner from Rudy’s but they were too busy for a quick takeaway collection. Went here instead and tbh this was much tastier and obviously healthier than pizza. Place is clean, food was reasonably priced and service was quick and professional! I’d go back again!”

“A truly special evening. Phenomenal food (really unexpected combinations that JUST WORK!) an amazing playlist and really personable staff. The evening was more than we expected and we will not hesitate to return and go the WHOLE HOG! An amazing experience. Would recommend. Sonal was particularly suave (you’ll know when you meet him!)”

“This is by far the best Mexican I've ever had in the UK. Everything, down to the decorations is authentic. The food is out of this world, the right amount of spice and all the flavour. My partner is mexican and felt so at home here. I had the tacos, nachos and chocolate cake and would definitely be back for more. The staff are so friendly and sweet, not overbearing just normal. The decor feels like a real mexican restaurant. I wish I could give more stars. The owners even gave us some of their homemade ribs that were to die for. Just amazing!❤️ Do yourself a favour and come here !!!”

“Always enjoy eating here. The staff are lovely and the food is superb. The coffee is fantastic and it's the only place I consistently get a good matcha.”

“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 :)”

“This place sells authentic Indian food without the frills of the pricier restaurants in the area. Service was excellent and they made sure I was well-taken care of without being too imposing. Incredible how this shop isn’t more popular — a hidden gem! Props to the owner for a great experience.”
