Restaurants in Birmingham

“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 was visiting Birmingham this week, and my mates and I decided to go out for a meal. This was the perfect spot. The food was delectable and plenty—I got a Balti butter chicken with pilau rice that filled me up and the regular naan was the size of my head!! All of it tasted fantastic! Really good time, big portions, fair prices and attentive service. It was a bit loud and the lighting was dim, but that wasn’t too much of a bother. 5 stars!”

“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.”

“Happy lamb is one of the best Halal Chinese hotpot locations there is in brum! I come here every couple of months and it never disappoints. The atmosphere & staff are very friendly. The food & variety of options is also amazing! It’s also very cost-friendly in comparison to other chinese hotpots in brum. Defo recommend!!!”

“Food is delicious and doesn’t make you feel groggy or slow after. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. I wish I remembered the name of my waitress - she was so friendly and helpful. Served with a smile and was really accommodating as my friend had come in post procedure and had to keep her leg elevated. The waitress didn’t hesitate to let us sit in the booth and offered to get a chair if my friend was more comfortable putting her leg on that instead.”

“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 .”

“We ordered food for collection. The service was good, the food even better.”

“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!”

“4 of us went for the 1st time here even though we've live round the corner! The service was great such nice servers The meals very enjoyable in fact we said best in town! We will definitely be going back. The seating excellent as not on top of the ithe diners Loved the fountain in the middle.”

“It sounds like paul Bhai and his team have put their heart and soul into creating an amazing spot for Bangladeshi and in indian food in Sutton coldfield! It’s fantastic to hear that they focus on making every visit memorable for customers, with paul Bhai’s dedication and the chef’s skills shining through. Their hard work and passion must make their restaurant a standout place, where people can not only enjoy authentic flavors but also feel the warmth of a welcoming environment. Hats off to paul Bhai, the chef, and the entire team—may their success continue to grow, and may they keep serving delicious food that brings a taste of Bangladesh to Birmingham! Keep it up, everyone! Love from♥️ Koyes ahmed India Red hendsford”

“Great food, great friendly service, would highly recommend.”

“We went to Birmingham for the weekend and thought it only right to have a curry whilst there. I'm very glad we picked this place in particular. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with a tranquil and calming ambience and the staff are all very warm and welcoming. The food was some of the best Indian cuisine I've ever tasted. The time taken into knowing a balance of spice never goes unnoticed. Altogether a fantastic experience at a reasonable price, well worth a visit.”

“A great hotel, supplemented by it's incredible staff, all of whom were so friendly, welcoming helpful, chatty and very competent. The studio room I stayed in was fantastic, incredibly clean, comfortable with every amenity required. A special mention of a the chap that helped with check in on Sunday 16th Nov around 8/9pm. He is a credit to your hotel, a great guy. Thankyou”

“Exceptional food. Clearly, the chef is a master of their art. Amazing food, which is tailored to our specific requirements. Best Indian food in Solihull. Thoroughly recommended.”

“We recently celebrated my partners graduation with a meal at the paprika lounge and the staff went above and beyond to serve our party of 20+. Considering there were so many of us they were fantastic at getting all of our food out at the same time, and the quality of the food was amazing. Thank you to all the staff for making this occasion memorable :)”

“Thanks to all the hard working staff at Tiffins for the fabulous Christmas Day lunch. We were a party of 25, but the quality of both the curries and Xmas dinners were absolutely spot on and nothing was too much trouble. Unbeatable value. We've eaten here many times over many years and never been disappointed. Everyone who came with us thought you were superb. Thank you all of you.”

“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”

“2nd takeaway order from here and the food was fantastic both times. We've tried a lot of local Indian restaurants and most of them were quite underwhelming. But this place is currently our firm favourite!”

“lovely café, nice atmosphere, rich sandwiched, quick and fresh. really nice café. the garden centre is very much for gardeners lots of beautiful plants, not so much variety in gift shop...”

“Wow wow wow!! Seriously impressed. I have some good Chinese food in my time. Staying in bromsgrove at the Hanbury turn pub/lodge. Not much going on around this area food wise. I call a couple Chinese takeaways (Monday evening) one was closed, one didn’t deliver that night they said. 3rd time lucky I guess., they said would be with me in 40-50 mins. It turned up between 10-15 minutes after I put the phone down. I Had special chow mein, peking ribs and Cantonese sweet and sour chicken. Came with prawn crackers and 3 fortune cookies. All of it was lovely and cost £24. Would highly recommend, I can’t even give one slight faults. Have to give this a 9.5 out of ten”

“Gorgeous restaurant, underground with a beautiful romantic atmosphere. Service was quick and friendly, and all food was generous portion sizes and tasted amazing fully recommend.”

“First time coming here. This restaurant’s customer service is 10/10 they are very hospitable and make you feel at home. The food matches the service as its a 9/10 only reason why it isn’t a 10/10 is because the spice wasn’t there, charge it though. Would recommend this if it’s your first time getting somali cuisine.”

“The food here is excellent, but the atmosphere could do with some work... There was almost nobody else there when my group showed up and they were playing a movie or something over the speakers instead of music while we were eating. Maybe we just caught them at a bad time because the curry itself was amazing so I'd love to go back”

“Local restaurant, decor a bit dated but food was excellent and tasty. Staff were accommodating and great hosts. We were greeted and welcomed and asked to stay as long as we wish. More than happy with the service and food was great value. Will be visiting again.”

“Made us feel really welcome and great help with menu and ordering. Food was full of flavour, well spiced and generous portions. Didn’t break the bank either. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, recommended.”

“Finally found the authenticated rare beef pho. It will be great if the rice noodle can be cooked a bit longer to get a softer texture. Hidden in a Vietnamese supermarket，not easy to find without google maps.”

“Today I have ordered the frutti de mare pizza, the carbonara, and the pollo crema. The vegetables for the pollo crema had been smoked a little and then added salt, which makes it crunchy. As well as that, the sauce was very creamy and rich, adding good flavour for the dish. The frutti de mare pizza had fresh seafood (such as: prawns, mussels, and squid) and the flavour was medium, which is very good. The crust was crunchy and it was made fresh, not from the stores. The spaghetti was very creamy and the staff offered extra Parmesan. The bacon in it was very delicious, because of the sauce that was added to the dish. To summarise, I would recommend this restaurant to you.”

“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.”
