BAKRY’s (was Leyan) in Birmingham

I recently visited this Eritrean restaurant with a group of seven, including three kids, and we had an amazing time. The food was a delightful adventure as we explored Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine for the first time. The person in charge was incredibly patient, explaining the dishes, making adjustments to suit our preferences/queries, and offering helpful recommendations. We also ended our meal with a traditional coffee experience that was rich and flavorful—highly recommended for coffee lovers. The entire meal was reasonably priced, leaving us full and satisfied. The atmosphere was welcoming, with clean facilities and convenient parking just a short walk away. We also appreciated how the host took some extra time to chat about their culture and language, also asking us about our own background and in overall making it a truly warm and inviting experience. He also gave us to try a bit of the Eritrean Zibib liqueur so next time we know what else we can order. Service/food was a bit on the slow side but we were not in a rush anyways, Maybe some sort of starters could be recommended to fill that gap? Not a big problem anyways we truly enjoyed the experience. I think we were lucky the place was not busy but I hope they are prepared for when it gets crowded and can cope with higher demand. I'll definitely be happy to repeat the experience.

This gem is hidden away in an industrial area, but don't let that put you off. The inside decor is funky and the sun terrace at the front is a great spot to sit and soak up rays with a coffee and full breakfast roll! Emma and Leanne are friendly and really good at what they do.

lovely service, lovely coffee. 10/10. just wish there was more seating :'(

If I’m being honest this was THE BEST takeaway I have ever ordered! Thank You so much! The food was delicious. We’ve ordered 3 different bowls on fries and sweet chilli and mayo chicken wings. Everything was amazing!!! Highly recommended! I’m looking for to see you again in Rugby. 🎉😎🤩

Very nice to place and food was amazing and the price is also amazing for the amount of food, the music was a jam and felt very comfortable there.
