Restaurants in Birmingham

“Had an opportunity to go to this restaurant to eat last night. The food was delicious. Cooked to perfection, the service provided was exemplary, the prices were very economical. My daughter's ordered wraps and burgers and they were amazed at how delicious they were. I ordered a beef platter with a chips as a side. The beef was cooked to perfection with caramalised onions and a pepper sauce. The beef strips were lovely and succulent, not chewy at all, the spices were just right. The waiting time for the food was just right, it was well worth the wait. We needed to say our prayers and the management very easily accommodated us and we're very welcoming. I would highly recommend this lovely place to everyone.”

“Hands down the best at what they do. Fantastic food and service. The restaurant is clean and nothing is too much trouble.”

“Amazing food, brilliant service, highly recommended! Been so many times and cannot fault it one bit, they take care of you like you’re their own family”

“Noels Bar – Best Italian Restaurant in Birmingham! Noels is hands down the best Italian fine dining spot in Birmingham. It’s a shame the location isn’t more central because I truly believe more people need to discover this hidden gem. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was elegant, and the service from Wicktoria was outstanding – she made the whole experience for my mom even more special. Highly recommend!”

“Chikaros Restaurant – A Flavour Explosion Like No Other! Chikaros completely blew me and my family away. From the moment we walked in, we was hit with the most mouth-watering aromas. We knew we was in for a treat — but we wasn’t prepared for just how incredible it would be. Every dish was a masterpiece. The flavours? Bold. Rich. Perfectly balanced. You could taste the passion in every bite. I honestly caught myself doing a little happy dance in my seat — it was that good. The wings? Unreal. Juicy, crispy, full of kick. The smash burger? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. I don’t even know how they got the chips that crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Witchcraft, maybe. And don’t get me started on the sauces — they should be bottled and sold worldwide. I’d dip everything in them if I could. Service was top-tier. Friendly, fast, and full of smiles. They made us feel like royalty without being overbearing. The vibe in the restaurant was energetic but chilled — perfect for catching up with mates or treating the family. Honestly, if you haven’t been to Chikaros yet, you’re missing out on one of the best food spots in town. I’m already planning my next visit. 10/10. Would eat again. And again. And again.”

“Visited for dinner today with my fiancée for her birthday, and it was bloody amazing. The food was very tasty - I had the prawns for the starter and rump steak for the main course and it was very delicious, cooked to perfection. There was a big selection of drinks, which were also very tasty, and the service was amazing. Thank you Tia for being so welcoming, kind and friendly, you really made it special for us. Will definitely recommend, thank you!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visited Mellow’s Bar & Restaurant on Saturday and had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious – full of flavour, well portioned, and clearly freshly prepared. Drinks were spot on too. What really made the visit special was the service. Big shout-out to our waiter DeeJay – friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure we were looked after from start to finish and added such a positive vibe to the evening. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Mellow’s to anyone looking for good food and good energy.”

“A fantastic place with impressive traditional Persian interior design and great food! The waitresses are polite and reserved. We are also generously served complimentary (free) Persian rice pudding.”

“Another amazing meal and fantastic service”

“After such poor service from YARDBIRDS across the road Lolkata saved the night. We had traditionally starters and went for the kadha king prawn main OMG the taste and depth of the flavor is something else. Great service, friendly staff. Little pricy but worth the money! Stay away from YARDBIRDS across the road”

“The food is good. However, I have some bad experience. The service is average, very responsible price. I would recommend. I become a regular customer of this restaurant, it's amazing food, great value for money. The قوزي simply delicious, well done chef. This my update review, This restaurant getting better and better!!”

“First time visiting here for food with friends, and I was not disappointed! Food portions were generous, served hot and full of flavour. Atmosphere was chilled and laid back. Full of people from all walks of the community. I will definitely be back!”

“I was told of this place by a friend and thought I would check it out. The decor is nothing to shout about as it is a local pub and is a bit rough & ready but the food is on another level. Since my first visit, I have been a few times now and have always chosen the Lion Special Family Grill which has never let me down. The thing that amazes me is the speed at which the food comes out. I don’t think I have had to wait more than 10-15 minutes before the food is at our table. The naan breads are made fresh and are lovely and soft. The masala fries and momo’s are also very good. There is plenty of choice on the mixed grill with a choice of seekh kebabs, grilled chicken, fried fish, fried prawns and some lamb chops to top it off. We always have some left over to take home. The price is also very good as it will cost you no more than £40 for a family of four. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work guys!”

“Yummy food, great ambience and welcoming people. As of my knowledge, it's the only restaurant that serves the best South Indian Thali in and around Staffordshire. Excellent spread, amazed to have the authentic food on a banana leaf. Highly recommend to friends and everyone, surely going to visit again! Keep up the good work!”

“Amazing, unique food and really great atmosphere. The waiters and waitresses are really attentive and friendly. We had a lovely evening here and have booked to return soon!”

“Excellent takeaway pizza! The sourdough base is genuinely fantastic—light, airy, and full of flavour. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Held up perfectly for collection. Highly recommend for a proper pizza fix in Birmingham!”

“I was served by Hafsah and had such a wonderful experience! She was so friendly, lively and full of positivity energy which made the experience so much better. She clearly knows her job very well and went above and beyond to help. I really appreciate her kindness and professionalism- she truly made my day!”

“We booked a bottomless brunch and quite apprehensive after doing one else where before and getting hardly any drinks but here they just kept flowing! Excellent service and value for money too. Food was also delicious - highly recommend!”

“Food was great and high quality. Customer service was lovely too the staff were really friendly. Food was delicious too”

“9/10, 4.5/5. Authentic & delicious HK Chinese cuisine. The: beef satay dish (tender), Singapore fried rice, prawn toast was outstanding - I think that was the best prawn toast i ever had as of typing this. The spring roll was good. The HK milk tea (hot) was great & so was the peanut butter filled toast w/ condensed milk. Helpful & friendly staff. Quick service.”

“Visited whilst in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games. They have a lovely terrace which is a must on a sunny day. We sat just inside so had the best of both worlds. The food was delicious and well cooked. The service was impeccable and staff were fantastic. The chef's choice of cheeses were amazing. It was a lovely treat.”

“One of the best restaurants i have been to. Starting with the service, Anthony was lovely and very attentive and the food was by far 5stars. Delicious and fresh. Definitely will be returning”

“Fantastic Persian restaurant - a must-visit. The food is spot-on and good for vegetarians and vegans, service was excellent, and the interior is gorgeous. Thank you so much to Colbeh for providing a seamless staff dinner experience for our team, and many of us commented that we will be back again and will be recommending to friends and family.”

“As soon as you step through the doors you feel like you’re visiting restaurant owner Negar in her home. Beautiful interior, relaxing music, attention to details and very very tasty food… Looking at the menu feels inappropriate… You just want to ask “What’s for dinner?” :) More than highly recommended… IT’S A MUST!!! Shared starter platter with traditional Persian dishes, Grilled Halloumi with Saffron rice, Rose tea and Saffron/Pistachio ice cream for dessert… And some original artwork…”

“What a great pub with lots of atmosphere right next to the cathedral. Great interior decor. I dived in here during a heavy shower and was welcomed by friendly staff. Good selection of beer. I wasn't hungry but looked at the menus and was tempted.”

“My wife and I ate here before a gig as I'm a big fan of their beer. The food was really nice, the beer was great and the staff were fantastic. Every staff member we interacted with went above and beyond, even preparing and suggesting we move to a table away from the door so we wouldn't get the cold air everytime it opened. They were all incredibly friendly and helpful, a real credit to the bar and to BrewDog.”

“Food was amazing and the staff were great!! The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere too! I will highly recommend to family & friends. Haven't ate such good food in a long time. Thank you! :)”

“A wonderful place with delicious Turkish cuisine. The service is very fast. The portions are huge and everything was very tasty. I recommend it 100%.”

“It's been so many years since I've been here...and I was so impressed. I've discovered a new favourite dish..the Murghi Special, it was amazing, would recommend..and a reasonable price considering it includes mushroom pilau rice. Offered lime pickle (as well as the usual accompaniments) with the poppadoms, which I love..and the keema naan was also lovely. 5/5 from me....it'll be my new fave place now for home delivery. Check their website, 20% off. Shapla has been here in Shirley for so long that many people forget it's here! Remember it guys, worth a visit!”

“Almost 8 years on, great food every time - both eat in and take away.”
