Unique restaurants in Birmingham

“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”

“What an amazing place. It looks lovely and cosy. The staff is very welcoming, happy and efficient. And the food is amazing, we had steak, was really really good. The starters were nice. And plus they had my favourite wine!”

“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.”

“Enjoyed the carvery Good service and friendly staff Definitely would visit again and recommend”

“Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! This is without doubt the best Kurdish food in Birmingham. I’ve eaten in so many restaurants over the years, but this place truly stands out. The flavours were incredible and everything tasted so fresh and authentic. We started with the sale soup, which was rich, comforting and full of depth — a perfect way to begin the meal. The mixed grill that followed was just on another level: beautifully seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. Every bite showed real quality and care in the cooking. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. You can tell they really take pride in what they do. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great food. I’ll definitely be coming back — this is now one of my favourite spots in Birmingham!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My favourite breakfast spot in Bham. It has a really nice decor. I always come back for the saffron tea because I just can’t find it anywhere! We had the breakfast meze and it was such a feast! We chose the baba ghanoush, Shakshouka, damascena fuul and falafels. Had a party in my mouth dipping flatbreads in the different dips. The falafels were beautifully crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. And it’s also not heavy on the pocket.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The owners are so friendly and the food is very high quality. Its such a peaceful cosy atmosphere in the restaurant. I have eaten-in and had take out from here and both have been delicious. I'll definitely be coming again when I visit Birmingham next!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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”

“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”

“The array of bread and pastries are great, with huge variety of both sweet and savoury options to have in or take away. Following suit, the menu is HUGE, especially for brunch, with lots of creative and unique options that you wouldn’t find elsewhere, mostly spins on brunch classics. We had the brisket benny, which was pretty nice. Pulled brisket and hollandaise sauce, with poached eggs and an English muffin. It was good, but didn’t quite live up to our excitement when we read it on the menu, falling a little flat. That being said, it was tasty and we will sure be back to try some other stuff as it all looked fab. I had a plain Crossiant, which unfortunately was verging on stale. Good flavour, but it was very hard and really wasn’t even close to my dreams of a flakey and light pastry. Oh well. The teas we had were very tasty, and the vibes in the place are pretty cool. There’s many rooms to choose from, so it does feel cosy and atmospheric. The staff were also nice, being pretty attentive and got the job done.”

“I came here last week with a few friends and I have to say this place is a hidden gem. 1st time here and I was blown away by the food, service and dining experience. The food was bursting with so much flavour, being from a Bangladeshi background I am very particular about my curries and have high standards and can say they delivered. The waiter knew the menu and recommended some dishes for us. We ordered a king prawn garlic Jhinga, lamb bengal naga (absolutely delicious) and chicken sag special. Make sure yiu have the signature rice that was something different and went really well with the curries. Overall excellent service and food at a very high standard. Will definitely be coming here again.”

“The food in here is delicious! Cooked to order as I’ve ordered different curries on different occasions milder than on the menu and they’ve done this for me no problem. The service in terms of bringing food out is a bit slower but it’s to be expected to be when cooking such delicious food. Our 2 year old daughter enjoys the food in here too.”

“We had dinner at this lovely restaurant tonight. The most amazing seafood risotto and seafood linguine. Best Italian food we have ever tasted, delicious! Wonderful service. Highly recommend this restaurant! Wish we lived nearby to go again. Heather and Jim Waterston Visiting from Australia”

“Excellent food again. Never had a complaint over many years. Authentic food, excellent value”

“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!”

“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.”

“This was my 1st visit to Titash and I can definitely say it will not be my last! We went to celebrate my father in law's birthday and it could not have been a better place to go! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the most welcoming, friendly and happy people! The food was exceptional, so so tasty! Unfortunately I didn't take any photos as we all just tucked in as soon as we were served! The staff were very attentive and made sure we had what we needed at all times! They also bought out a slice of cake at the end with a candle and a sparkler for my father in law's birthday, which was such a lovely gesture! We can definitely see why they have won the West Midlands Curry Champion of the year! 100% recommend!”
