This place seemed ideal but with one inside table (occupied) and a bar with stools (occupied) at 12.15 p.m. we didn't get the opportunity to try the food.

I usually order this takeout during the week during work because the prices are fair and I really like their greek salad, plus its just so easy. I've eating in the restaurant once or twice, but what I really do is order and pickup. Their pita bread is really fluffy and soft, and their gyros are pretty good as well.

El sitio es pequeño, pero tiene un par de mesitas por si quieres sentarte a comer mientras ves pasar el tranvía a través del cristal de su ventana/escaparate. La atención es muy profesional y la comida es sabrosa y de calidad. Está a un paso de la estación de tren.

Lo que ha sucedido a este lugar? Comencé la visita hace más de dos años, y utilizada para encantar (buena comida a un precio razonable, personal agradable). Durante el último año ha ido mucho peor. La comida es grasienta y calidad ha disminuido notablemente, al mismo tiempo que los precios han subido y el personal se ha convertido en un grosero.

Me encanta este lugar utilizado. La última vez que estuve aquí (verano 2016) La comida era excelente. Volvimos la semana pasada y nos pareció que el menú ha cambiado. El souvlaki pollo ordenados y decepcionó profundamente. El pan de pita era dura y el pollo muy insípido. Los souvlakis solía venir con patatas crujientes delgadas, pero han sido reemplazados con patatas fritas macizos que también eran insípidas. Ensalada era inexistente. Al menos la gente era muy amable. Trae los ingredientes viejos/receta, por favor!

Lo que pasó 40 a 23? He revisado este lugar en febrero y nos dio una reseña de cinco estrellas. Por desgracia la calidad de la comida ha bajado a rock bottom desde entonces.Yo le aconsejo que no para pedir comida para llevar de este lugar hasta que solucionen cualquier ha ido tan mal mal.Pedí tomar via Deliveroo lejos de ellos, algo que anteriormente llevaron a la deliciosa comida griega enviada directamente a mi puerta, esta vez sin embargo:el pollo estaba dura y sin sabor, lo mismo para el cerdo.Ido era el pan ligeramente cocidos suaves, pita con aceite de oliva, en panes eran duras de lo esperado barato pita.Anteriormente la comida llegó con patatas finas lonchas en vez de patatas fritas, llenos de sabor y un agradable cambio de patatas fritas. Estas han desaparecido, para ser reemplazados por las rústicas papas fritas al estilo que no tienen sabor, salvo que de decepción.La ensalada de acompañamiento se ha convertido en el estándar para llevar comida de lonchas de lechuga y salsa de misterio.La única cosa que todavía probado fueron las verduras asadas.Mirando otros comentarios, personas que en persona todavía parece tener una buena experiencia, pero ¿qué pasa con la comida para llevar?

Este pequeño lugar de comida griega es escondido en la calle Stephenson que el tranvía sólo espera. Está situado entre el pelo y un Griego Hush delicatessen. Disfruté el pollo souvalki que también venía con patatas fritas, ensalada y yogur de vestidor. La comida estaba recién cocinados a la orden y perfectamente sazonada y muy muy sabrosa. Este lugar es un verdadero hallazgo y lo único malo es que el lugar es muy pequeño.

Great tasty food and pleasant, if rather laid back, staff. Very small, so another great for eating in but no complaints regarding food. Delicious. We had Cretan salad covered in grated feta and thyme?, then found we were too full for the souvlaki we had ordered. Asked for a doggy bag and staff offered to cancel our order. Appreciated this.

Today we ordered two meals, large Diced Pork and large Diced Chicken, with deliveroo. Unfortunately, we had to throw away nearly the whole meal because it was of extremely poor quality. The whole box was drenched in oil. The salad consisted mostly of onions and the actual salad seemed quite old. The pork just consisted of fat and the size of the meal was definitely not large. Furthermore, the yoghurt sauce was missing in both meals. The pita bread was squashy and oily. We had the impression that both meals were not freshly made before the delivery.Unfortunately, this was a very disappoiting experience and we are stilly hungry. I really cannot recommend the food, at least not when having it delivered.

So disappointed! We ordered 2 x regular grill halloumi and vegs, 1 spinach pastry and 1 dessert.When I opened the bag my first impression was only greasy paper bags inside, no a proper take away boxes.Our meal was called: Grilled halloumi and vegs...There were only 1 small slice of halloumi per person, grilled pepper, onions and chips and no yogurt sauce (something they made me angry).They sent us a cheese pastry instead of the spinach one and small dessert portion.I called and they told me that if I wanted more halloumi I should have ordered the larger option, something that made me laugh when the main is called Halloumi with vegs, but wow, only one slice of halloumi per person? Really?I paid £20 and we were still hungry after dinner.Also the packing was a paper bag. If someone is going to eat there then fair enough but for a deliveroo service I expected better quality, it was all messy in the bag.Really bad experience sorry.

This is takeaway food with a difference, which was recommended to me by Greek friends who go there when they want a taste of home.It is fresh cooked Greek comfort food. The food does take a bit of time to cook but it is worth it. I am a big fan of the souvlaki, and the pita bread and sliced potato fries are incredible.The portions are good, and really reasonable-not expensive at all for a city centre place considering the quality of the food. All food is served in takeaway plastic trays.You can eat in, however there are only three tables (the place is tiny) so takeaway is a better option (they also do delivery via Deliveroo).

The cooking area is fine but the small area with seats and stools hasn't seen a cleaning cloth for a long time. It isn't just grubby, it's dirty.

Little place just next to New Street station where the tram pulls up. A Greek takeaway would be the best way to describe it. There are only about 10 seats there and the food is served in takeaway containers. This food is fantastic! Was better then any Greek food I had on holiday. I picked the chicken souvlaki which came on a flatbread with lettuce, tomato, sliced fried potatoes the chicken and a sauce. It was very filling and very tasty. Lots of options for vegetarians. There is also a deli next door selling imported foods. Highly recommended, the desserts looked great as well! £4.90 23/11/16.

Have walked past many times and never considered visiting but as times are hard this month we looked on TA for a cheap eat in the city centre and 40 23 came up. My souvlaki was huge, and succulent, and the hand cut chips were delicious. My wife had a spinach pie which she also adored. With drinks this came to £7. Amazing. And the staff seem so happy and the customers also. Definitely worth popping in, it seems they also do delivery.

Visited because of a good review in 'The Guardian'. Once inside this very small café you see how dirty it is! We decided to go for a vegetarian option, but nothing we asked for was available (explanation was it is Sunday and they had run out of stuff - easy solution - buy some more!!). After much confusion we got our food. Mass produced salad, a few grilled veg and some very, very thin Halloumi cheese smothered in yoghurt. The 'platter' option we chose was just an open polystyrene box!

We were there for the first time, menu is appealing with options for vegetarians and meat lovers, include main dishes, few sides and deserts. We ordered grilled Diced Chicken and grilled Lamb and Beef Kebab. Foods was prepared in 5-10 minutes and both tasted fantastic, very fresh and full of different flavors. A nice mixture of fried pita bread and hand cut chips plus yogurt sauce make the foods more delicious. The atmosphere was very nice and cozy, and 40 23’s people are really nice and helpful. Honestly it was the best food I had in Birmingham, especially when you consider the price. Strongly recommended.

So I've heard many great things on TripAdvisor and decided to pay these guys a visit on my lunch break.Inside was a small dining area with a couple of tables and stools with an open kitchen and billboards scribbled with the different choices on the menu.Customer Service scored well as I was greeted as well as being helped on my choice, as I'm not an experienced taster in greek dining. I was recommended the traditional Greek sausage, which sounded great as it's good to try something different. The grill menu comes in a wrap with a flat potato, lettuce, tomato and yoghurt, as well as your meat of choice. I must say it certainly didn't disappoint as it was quite a lot for £3, and that was the regular size too! (They do large, which is double the toppings) Overall, I'd recommend a strong 4/5 rating for this restaurant if you'd like some traditional greek food! Would visit again,

I was introduced to 40 23 by a colleague and have been back a few times for lunch. ---------------------------Getting lunch from here is great as I always get my food within 10/15 minutes even when it is busy. This has to be down to the efficiency of the staff. I have to say, they all work well together and the girl who serves always has a smile on her face!Service is fabulous. The first time I went I ordered the large portion as I didn't know how big/small the portions were and the waitress promised me the regular would be large enough - it was! Very glad that she did that otherwise the excess would have been wasted which I hate doing. Recommend the veg platter with halloumi. Delicious! --------------------------------The one 'downside' to 40 23 is that as it is a small place, you don't always feel comfortable eating in, as you are likely to have someone queuing right next to your elbow..I have always taken my food back to work with me to avoid this.

I popped in with a friend a few weeks ago, looking for something for her to eat on the train to london. A large group leapt up to order as we made our decisions & the kind man behind the counter made ours first so that my friend could catch her train.

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is incredible! Authentic Greek food at reasonable prices. I had a chicken wrap and it was so tasty and fresh. I would definitely go back and recommend to friends looking for something a bit different for lunch in Birmingham.

Visited here for a quick lunch not having tried much Mediterranean food before. Prices seemed very reasonable for warm food in the city centre. Food arrived very promptly and was easily one of the nicest things I have eaten.

Exactly as it says, 40 23 is a small take away shop/cafe offering traditional food from the north-eastern Mediterranean region and Greece; it is stunning. Located just a hop and a skip (not even a jump) from New Street Station, this place deserves all the success that comes its way.Yes, if you want to eat in, it’s only small with seating for about ten people but it’s worth every bit of the effort; the place oozes atmosphere and the staff are a delight. On my first visit, I queried whether I had been correctly charged for the food seemed so cheap. The girl replied that food can, indeed, be cheap and “need not be the price of gold”; she had given us a complimentary side tzatziki because she “wanted us to be happy” !!!The drinks range is limited to cold drinks but we were told it was no problem for us to fetch a tea or coffee from the Greek delicatessen located immediately next door.Exceptional and well worth a visit; full of flavour, full of charm, superb value with a smile and welcome from all who work there. If I worked nearby, I would be a lunchtime regular. Thank you, 40 23; we will be back.

Was recommended by the Guardian earlier in the year and didn't disappoint. It's mainly set up for takeout, and can only accommodate a handful of diners, but the food is fresh, authentic and superb. Service was exceptional. Asked for a side of tsatsiki and the girl refused to charge for it. If I worked in the centre of Birmingham it would be my go to lunch venue

We stopped off here for a quick bite before heading off to a concert. The food is good and I'd eat here again but it's a tiny space and I think you've got to be prepared to switch to using it as a takeaway at busy times. When working in London I've eaten at many similar places and I think competition down there keeps standards high and prices low. For the moment 4023 doesn't have a lot of competition.

Posto abbastanza piccolo, ma si mangia molto bene. Molto cordiale il personale e veloci nel preparare l'ordine. Abbastanza pulito anche se la mancanza di toilette mi sembra una cosa molto strana. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Con 5 Sterline riesci a mangiare abbondante compreso di bevanda. Consigliato per un pranzo veloce dato che posti a sedere sono solo una decina dentro il locale. Viva la Grecia e il cibo Mediterraneo.

Today was the first time I have visited 40 23 and I was not disappointed. From the moment we stepped in to the small but well organised place the atmosphere and smells we're fantastic.The staff behind the counter were very helpful and friendly and guided me in choosing what to eat.The food was very reasonable priced and of excellent quality and I would have no problem recommending 40 23 to other dinners.Thankyou for a great lunch I will be back...

The place was really well run, great customer care, staff are really friendly and down to earth to make sure you have a good dining experience. Food is unique and tasty, price is just right to get people coming back! Overall an a1 place in the heart of birmingham city centre. The only downside would be the quality of the meat could be a lot better, some bits were very rubbery and chewy. Apart from that a great independent business to stop into.

I visited 40 23 with my partner on a Saturday afternoon. The location is good as its situated not far from New Street Station. We ordered a lamb/beef wrap and chicken wrap, grilled mushrooms and chips. The food didnt take long to cook. It was very tasty when it came out and was handed over to us straight from the chef which was great. My one and only critisism which for me is a biggie... I have a thing about not wanted to smell of food and I left here smelling like it hence the 4 stars. Would I visit again? Yes most definately on the premise that I didnt have anywhere important to go straight after due to the clothes attracting the smell of the cooking. Overall a good experience.

Sono stato in questo piccolo locale ( ma solo per le dimensioni ...) dalle parti della stazione ferroviaria di New Street , ed ho mangiato una squisitissima cucina greca. Ottimo il personale presente nel locale, che cerca di accontentarti in tutto. Il cibo è veramente ottimo , ed i prezzi anche di più. Con 5 sterline mangi un piatto completo di carne, insalata, salse e del buonissimo pane. Unico problema è che potreste non trovare il posto a sedere, dato che ci sono solo tre piccoli tavolini ed un bancone . Comunque vala la pena di visitarlo.

Was really not impressed when i visited here with my colleague i visited on the basis of the reviews but very disappointed! the portions are tiny! I like greek food ,but the souvlaki i had was the most chewiest ,cheapest, tasteless ,pierce of pork i have had! It was awful! It was just coated in herbs,which you can buy from Asda! ,i probably could have made a better one myself!I would recommend going elsewhere ,better value for money and plenty of small cafes nearby.

Localizado bem próximo da New Street station, este restaurante serve comidas gregas típicas. Seus donos são dois irmãos gregos muito simpáticos e atenciosos. O restaurante é pequeno, mas com uma boa comida e um preço bem acessível. Minha esposa e eu jantamos uma noite no 4023.

One of my favourite places to go for lunch. When it first opened I must have had lunch here 6 times in 2 weeks. A fantastic array of food of which I always try the specials. Extremely well flavoured and seasoned with spices like oregano and cinnamon as you would expect from greek food. I like having a feta and spinach pasty snack while I wait which always taste fantastic. Would also recommend for vegetarians. One element that would add to this place is a charcoal grill. Keeping my fingers crossed this happens.

My Greek friend showed me this place and since then it's my favorite place to go if I want some Greek food. The quality of the food is amazing and it's a good value for money.Love the atmosphere, especially the people working there, who create the most of the atmosphere - so smiley, cheerful and friendly. I always feel welcomed.

Found this place after some rave reviews by others. It does not disappoint!!It just a great lunch venue. Superb food, great location next to the new train entrance at New St. And a cracking atmosphere. It's busy, and getting a table to eat will be difficult, but the food is just great, and very reasonable Brum doesn't have many places like this, so seek it out

Great little hidden gem in Birmingham, situated near New Street station. Very limited selection of food, however this is all cooked to a high standard & the staff are very helpful in making recommendations. Frequent specials of the day on offer. Great little joint to have a quick snack to take away. & they're independent! Would recommend to others!

Came here for a quick lunch on a weekday and thought the food was absolutely amazing! Very cheap and cheerful with the food served on paper plates but the meat is cooked perfectly and the plate is piled high with delicious accompaniments. Definitely makes it acceptable to eat a kebab during the day. Want to come back and try more from the menu!

I discovered this cafe last year and I tend to visit them whenever I go to town. It's very busy lately so you may need to queue and wait for your order a bit.The food is very nice. Kind of like homemade Greek-Turkish food. Had chance to talk to the owner, apparently they bring their"key" ingredients from Greece, like spices and such I think. You should totally visit if you are around New Street and want to grab a quick tasty bite.
