De La Vies in Sandwell

Really good. Ever since I have tried them, I wouldn't go anywhere else

Best Steak in Birmingham area I would say..We visited this restaurant for the 7th time..For us,It is a bit unusual..There was a live music tonight..We loved it. For Steak lovers ..Strongly Recommended

First time. Great food. Will be back

Lovely venue and great service with parking on site.

We had such a lovely night…😊 Staff were friendly annd helping, food was good!

Food was average. No sauce was provided even when asked, as there were no options. Service was poor as we had to keep calling for them for drinks and dessert. Didn't provide us with dessert menu, until we asked. Ambience and decor was great. Live sax player created nice atmosphere.

Hemos estado allí y pedimos kabab mixto a la parrilla para tres personas, desafortunadamente el pollo kabab era insípido probamos Joojeh Mast y Azafrán Joojeh y desafortunadamente ambos fue decepcionante y estoy bastante seguro de que utilizan pollo brasilero congelado, también tienen cargo de servicio, así que no estábamos contentos en absoluto del personal y el servicio. No vuelvas nunca más.

Had heard good things about here and it didn't disappoint. It's tucked away in a side street and doesn't look like much from the outside but it's lovely inside. Really nice atmosphere. The food was very good. Everything beautifully cooked and tasty. The service was really friendly and relaxed. You wouldn't want to go here if you were short of time but it wasn't slow service either. We felt looked after. We had some hummus and Iranian breads to start which was really tasty. Then ribeye with some vegetable sides. Everything was great. I'd come back.

We've been here quite a few times ,food is great,staff are all caring and professional.thr place is well designed and clean . Thanks guys

We've been to the steak a few times now and every time it taste even better! Very well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The decor of the place is very nice and pleasant. What surprises me the most? The service there is really at a high level, I've never been served so professionally as in DeLaVies!

Great Food, lovely people, Lovely Place.

El kebab estaba demasiado cocido y duro. Ni siquiera pude terminarlo. El arroz estaba mal cocido y tenía un sabor suave. Limpieza: La mesa estaba pegajosa, y el baño estaba sucio. No es una agradable experiencia gastronómica. Me di cuenta de una mosca zumbando alrededor de nuestra comida, que era realmente apagado - poner , Largos tiempos de espera y el personal muy grosero que ni siquiera estaban para limpiar la mesa y darnos algunas servilletas.

Worst customer service, impolite staff, never again, it was supposed to be a buffet dinner but they just served you tiny food , no water no drink, poor service, void this place 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The quality of the food was very low, the staff was inattentive and rude, the service was poor, the tables and dishes were dirty, and I didn't like eating food in such a dirty place at all. The poor quality food, including the rice, was not fully cooked, and the kebab was like rubber, and the buffet food was very bad, there was a long queue to get food, and when it was Amon's turn, only kashm and eggplant were left, and the rest of the food was finished, and the staff did not pay attention. He said that the food is over, as if we were waiting in line for the offering, when the food is over, it was a really bad experience. I will never go to this restaurant again.

The kebab was overcooked and tough. I couldn't even finish it. The rice was undercooked and tasted bland. Cleanliness: The table was sticky, and the toilet was dirty. Not a pleasant dining experience. I noticed a fly buzzing around our food, which was really off-putting, long wait times and the very rude staff who were not even to clean the table and give us some napkins. In my opinion, it was the worst restaurant I've ever been to, both in terms of the quality of the food, which was really awful, and in terms of the service and the very rude staff, and the food dishes were full of stains, the tables were dirty and sticky, and the bathroom was also very dirty and dirty. She was also a woman, I will never go again

Very unprofessional, we could have spend better time with our friends if they didn’t disappoint us 👎👎

No issues at all the food was lovely and really nice and plentiful. Had no issues with waiting time or service lovely staff. Amazing service experience

Este lugar es una joya escondida. El ambiente y el servicio era impecable, con camareros muy atentos y un cantante de salón en vivo fresco. La comida fue cocinada fresca y fue increíble, honestamente uno de los mejores filetes que he tomado en mucho tiempo. Quítate el sombrero ante estos chicos y sin duda volverás de nuevo.

amazing food, 12 oz ribeye, chips and glass of wine for £23. very friendly people and staff!

Service was very slow and at point couldn’t find any members of staff on the floor. Food was lovely hot and well cooked and presented but our sides were forgotten, by the time we were able to flag staff down the sides came when we were finished. The live music was a nice touch but couldn’t hear him from where we were sitting. I really feel if this place dimmed the lights a little added some mood lighting it would really change the atmosphere of the room as it sounded like a pub. I would go again.

Lovely ribeye steaks through a Groupon offer, nicely cooked. Good service. Live music

I’ve been waiting to come to this restaurant for so long. My best friend and my sister have recommended it to me on so many occasions. However. After arriving at 830 and having one beer it is 2 hours later and no sign of food. I’ve never experienced a delay like this and I’ve left hungry and bewildered. This is completely unacceptable and has completely ruined my birthday weekend. I don’t write reviews often. But as I walk away from this restaurant I have been compelled to write a negative review so that others can avoid a similar experience. If this is an isolated occurrence I would be happy to return and see if it lives uo to the billing it’s received. For now I am compelled to suggest this is the worst restaurant I’ve visited in 10 years.

Beautiful meal food amazing. Service fantastic. Entertainment excellent. Would recommend.

Biggest regret !! Never ever go back there even if they pay me to try they food again !! The most disgusting food i have ever taste in my life !! Dont know how they call them self resturant!! Only the nice place nothing good about the food here nothing!! Spent like £350 and all family was still hungry !! And went straight to take away shop after there !!!!! Belive it or not the takeaway food was way better !!!

Came all the way from Leicester as heard so much abt this place…. but shame they don’t really cater much for vegetarians Apart from that the staff are so friendly and helpful and the service was good Definitely recommend more vegetarian options please

Firstly, be aware there isn't that much parking. We got there and the carparl was full, so we had to find somewhere else and then walk. The food was good but expensive, the chicken wings were red in the middle though, so that did concern us, but we didn't get ill, so they must have been alright. The service was good but just a bit slow, it took us over almost an hour to start getting our starters, but once we had those, the rest was fine.

The food is good but the service wasn't satisfying. Our food came late. Staff was unorganized.

Just went in to look around as have not been since before pandemic. Mainly Persian food which looks nice. A lot more expensive than when we used to go. Lovely room upstairs with stage and sound system for entertainment. Friendly knowledgeable staff.

So, i've been to De La Vies twice, and i'm just sharing my own experience. 1st time: Despite having a reservation, we were left upstairs, with no one working front of house. I had to ask a bartender if our table was ready. He said it would be ready soon. 30 mins elapsed. When we got to the table, the food came out promptly, and the staff were friendly. No more issues. 2nd time: again left upstairs, no one working front of house again, so I asked said bartender if our table was ready. He said yes, so we walked downstairs and stood there, just watching the staff walk by, ignoring us. The restaurant was quiet, and we stood there like fools, just watching people eat. I had to approach one of the staff, who then (with a face like thunder) showed us to our table. We then sat at the table for 15 mins with no menu, no one asking if we wanted drinks, until again i had to get up and ask for a menu. A much nicer and helpful member of staff took our order, and again the food came out promptly and was delicious. It's a real shame that the service is way below the standard it should be, and I was told by another customer who eats there often, that when the owner/managers are in, the standard is way higher, but on both occassions i have been to this restaurant, I have been left so disappointed with the poor level of service, especially when the chef is sending out amazing food. I think it's clear where De La Vies needs to improve, because i'm torn on whether I will ever return. I don't want to chase staff down for the bare basics, such as a drink, finding my table or a menu, and i certainly don't want to seee the staff walking round looking angry and uninterested.

A wonderful evening with delicious food

I really appreciate their hospitality. the service and food were perfect. we enjoyed. they had dedicated parking which was awesome. you don't need to worry about your car park. it was my children's birthday, at the end the waitress brought them birthday cake which was very kind. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Second visit already, best steak in town.

Without a doubt this is currently my favourite steak house in Birmingham. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. The staff are very professional, friendly and attentive. The food is all delicious but when it comes to the steaks, all different cuts are out of this world!!! always cooked to perfection and with a delicious grill flavour. All food and drinks are also reasonably priced which makes De las Vies a “must go” restaurant for all meat lovers.

Great food and cocktails. Nice environment. Would go again :).

This is a fantastc place with delicius food.

I had a great experience at Delaviz Restaurant! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. Special thanks to Ms. Nasim for her amazing service—she was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I'll definitely be coming back!

Massively over rated and over priced for a place with only a 3 star food hygiene rating (which i found out after going unfortunately ) steak was probably the worst I've ever had in my life and the attitude of the staff was diabolical when I told them this, not a nice experience at at all.

If you like meat and/or Persian food, there’s no chance you’ll be disappointed. Quality meat cooked consistently well.

Having traveled over 4 hours to get to Birmingham to eat at De La Vies I was met with huge disappointment. I had heard so much hype regarding the steak but as you can see from my pictures, there needs to be less tambourine playing and more tomahawk cooking, well I ordered a medium rare but was given overcooked steak. We waited over 2 hours to get my food, I entered the restaurant at 7:30 and am currently still sitting here waiting for my dessert and it is now 10:30

Amazing service and persian food, had a incredible night , and would definitely recommend it, the best iranian kebabs in westmidlands10/10

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding!** I recently had the pleasure of dining at De La Vie’s, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. **Food:** The food was simply divine. I started with the Kashk-e Bademjan, which was creamy and flavorful, perfectly setting the stage for what was to come. For the main course, I had the Chelo Kabab, and it was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with fragrant saffron rice and grilled tomatoes. The portions were generous, and each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors. **Service:** The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the cuisine they were serving.

Absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was outstanding, with each dish presenting a blend of exquisite flavors that truly delighted the palate. The service was excellent, the staff are also incredibly gracious and friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in a beautiful, love-filled setting.

Best steak , best staff, best service. Do not miss it!

Mi pareja y yo rara vez salimos juntos pero nos encanta cocinar y comer bien. Hemos sido recomendados repetidamente por amigos para tratar y se le dijo que utilizar un vale groupon una y otra vez. Absolutamente sorprendido por todo esta noche y no puedo esperar a volver. La comida, el servicio, las bebidas y el edificio es increíble, pero particularmente Gabriel nos hizo sentir tan relajados y la comida es tan buena como hemos tenido en mucho tiempo. No puedo esperar a volver, gracias a todo el equipo P. s. tiramisu fue increíble

Booked a birthday meal for our 14 y/o son. The food and wine were exceptional. The 16 oz rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and the lamb (Barg) again, perfect. The sides and starters were all top quality. All helped by our attentive waitress, Sinead who looked after us perfectly and took time to help with recommending food and items from the sweet menu. The candle in the tiramisu for his birthday was really thoughtful. Thank you De La Vies for a perfect evening, particularly Sinead. We will definitely be back soon.

The price is 1000% different from their advertisement. According to their advertisement, I went to buy it and it was good, he told me It was an advertisement that we also have Maflan food, so if it was for advertisement, why are you paying the price?

We did our baby shower at De La Vies. Perfect food, service, recommended DJ and photographer/videographer. Our guests loved our party, there were options for our vegetarian, gluten free guests and other dietary requirements were carefully considered. A beautiful evening to remember. Thank you!

DJed a wedding there last night (22nd June 2024). The food was amazing, so as service and decoration. Fully recommended

Very stylish restaurant, beautiful food, nice staff. I recommend it 👌

Very bad service, takes long to get ur drink without any glasses , delay for everything.

I went to this hotel with my step-son. I got a voucher from a groupon and it was a very nice food. I would think this is the second best steak that I've had in years. The only thing about service is that I had to prompt them for a drink that I had ordered, and when and when I did my dessert you had to prompt. But the tiramisu was big... It was yeah I liked the tiramisu It was really really nice and it was moist so I really did like that.

Recommended by friends, we were delighted with the discovery. Delicious from start to finish, perfect seasoning! A delight, we can't wait to go back and try the menu, which is renewed often. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable and the service is very friendly and attentive. The decor is elegant and well maintained. I really recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience!

Amazing Persian restaurant in Smethwick, Birmingham with great atmosphere and approachable staff. The staff were happy to only give us a menu, but to let us create our own items add/remove things we didn't want in our meal. It was so nice to order our own customised meal.

Our 2nd visit here, service, food and drinks all fabulous, initial greeting vey polite and friendly. Seated straightaway, menus brought over and given time to choose from menu. Drinks brought over in good time, food order taken in good time. Food brought out, cooked perfectly and as we ordered. Checked twice to see if everything was ok, which it most definitely was. Ordered steaks, 3 sides, 2 sauces and an extra drink. All perfect. Left feeling happy and not so full we felt ill. No room for dessert, but I don’t order anyway, as I don’t have a sweet tooth. Fabulous from start to finish, Great value

What an absolutely amazing meal my family and I had. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, and the steaks - were to die for . . The staff members were attentive, and 'on the money' . . We will most definitely be returning to this jewel on the outskirts of Birmingham.

Great food and great service. Staff really friendly.

Lovely food, definitely a hidden gem. Had the lamb shank and it was so soft and delicious.Would 100% recommend. Make sure to book a table.

I went to this amazing restaurant for my birthday, and it was great the food, the ambience, the staff overall will recommend going there.

Firstly...the food here is excellent, no complaints there, however when paying our bill using contactless we were told by our waiter that the transaction had failed and to put the card in the machine and enter the pin which worked fine. We then discovered the payment had actually gone through twice, we went back to the restaurant and was told the manager was out but a staff member took all our details and a picture of the statement and advised the manager would call us later to confirm the payment had been returned....Needless to say no call. We rang the restaurant several times but phone was never answered and could only get voicemail so we left a message. The upshot is that eventually the bank refunded the payment to us and still not a word from De la Vies. Please check your bank statements as I am sure we are not the only people this has been done to. Will not return as an apology is the least we would expect.

Had a very nice meal last night, the steak was cooked perfectly. Sinead who served us was lovely and looked after us really well.

My trip to this restaurant was awful. When I received my food, the waitress never asked how I wanted the shishlik/ shishlig to be made, when i received it, it was cooked nicely on the outside but on the inside there was visibly blood in the middle and the shishlik was pink inside too. I have tried many dishes of shishlik and this is by far no where close to the approximation of what it is supposed to taste like and look like. Usually, the waitress comes half way through to ask how the food is and they didn’t do this at all, I don’t understand how you can train your staff to present food but not to ask how the food is. The salad which was underneath the shishlik was stale and mouldy, I can come to this conclusion because you could see a fungus growing around the salad. The rice felt very stale and it seemed like the rice was placed into the microwave, it honestly didn’t taste right. Due to this, I have ended up in A&E with severe food poisoning. I have seen a previous review of someone saying the same complaints as I have and your response to them is very arrogant. If you are a professional business owner, you should take criticism about the food and service and improve your restaurant as an whole instead of arguing with them. In conclusion, I do not recommend this restaurant at all and by the way I have been to many successful restaurants such as novikov. Also, next time if you want to give a service charge don’t just add it on the receipt as the customer first as some aren’t aware.

- the presentation of the food was rubbish - all of the food was ready made - starting from the starters all the way to the dessert - the shishlik literally had no meat on it, all I was eating on was the bone, it is quite literally a scam - the veg and salad they put under the shishlik was all stale - the rice they made and served into a different bowl was again ready made and stale - ALSO they included a service charge that they didn’t even tell you on the menu or anywhere on their website about - again another scam - they didn’t even cook the shishlik properly, when I cut through it there was BLOOD inside of it and it was very pink - it was undercooked I don’t recommend coming here at all unless you want to waster your money or get food poisoning. Another thing, all the images they are putting on their social media’s and websites are just for show and they edited it from other websites so that they can promote themselves - another scam. Therefore, the entire restaurant is an absolute scam and waste of money! When looking on the image, I thought oh this is a high class restaurant- turns out it is the complete opposite - it is RUBBISH

Atmosphere was great. Staff very nice. Shishlik was fantastic. Barg was OK. Koobide requires improvements.

First time here but won't be the last

"I have been to many restaurants before, but this one stands out as one of the most exceptional in both food quality and staff hospitality. The fresh kebabs and succulent steaks, paired with refreshing drinks, made a memorable night for me. I will definitely return and highly recommend it. 😌☺️"

Absolutely stunning 12oz ribeye steaks infact the best we have had. Even the salad dressing is to die for. Service is impeccable with very little waiting from drinks to mains. The venue is amazing too with lovely touches like the fire we were sat next to and the stained glass windows. If you’re thinking of going we highly recommend

Beautiful food and very luxurious interior. The perfect place for a special occasion. Steak is particularly good - probably better than Fiesta Del Asado and definitely better service.

Been there a few times, nice atmosphere, lovely staff, and very delicious and delightful meals. The music is fantastic and they have belly dancing on the weekends. 10/10

Not good choice for Persian food Zero rate for kobedeh

Best place to get Shisha Everything is great, great hookah

Amazing experience!! We had the Steak sharer, with x4 starters and sides. The steaks were cooked to perfection, absolutely stunning peices of meat. The steak sharer was 3 different cuts, T-Bone, Ribeye and Cheatau Briand, whilst they were ALL really tasty, it was the Cheatau Briand that was the star of the show. I'm coming back but next time I think I'm going to try Cote de Beof... Finally the value is something that you wouldn't get in a city centre steak house. I was really imprressed. Keep up the good work guys! And thank you for such a memorable meal

Best restaurant I have ever seen

Great place, a lovely cozy atmosphere with warm and welcoming staff. You will remember your time there.

I love the time & effort that has gone into such detail in the Decor & the ambiance, the staff are friendly & the food is deletions so I totally recommend a visit I particularly love the fillet steak medium rare “just perfect” 👌🥰

I had great time at Delavis and food was so delicious I definitely recommend this restaurant

The best restaurant in Birmingham😍

It was a great experience. The kebab was so soft and delicious and the salad sauce was amazing. The staff were very friendly and respectful. Definitely value for money!

Wonderful Dining Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining at De La Vies restaurant , and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly by the friendly staff. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with tasteful decor and a cozy atmosphere. Now, let's talk about the food. Wow! Each dish we ordered was a culinary delight. The flavors were exquisite, and the presentation was top-notch. Whether you're a fan of traditional dishes or looking to try something new, the menu offers a wide variety to satisfy every palate. I highly recommend trying their Chenjeh and Mahicheh – it was simply divine! Moreover, I must commend the servers for their professionalism and attentiveness throughout our meal. They were courteous, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. It's always a pleasure to be served by individuals who genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

Went on recommendation I wasn’t disappointed. Food was amazing, service amazing will be going again 100%

very stylish place with very tasty food

We were there a last night night , we have kebab with saffron rice the foods were absolutely delicious and the staff were excellent and friendly I would definitely recommend it

Absolutely incredible! We had the Lamb chops and Kebab and it tasted delicious and gorgeous, all staff were amiable and kind. Would highly recommend it!

The food is so delicious and the staff are lovely I definitely would choose this restaurant over other Persian restaurants.

I thought the environment was fantastic. The food is the best I've ever eaten. I 10000% recommend Tomahawk.

Wow, I was at this restaurant last night. From the flavorful kebabs bursting with taste to the perfectly cooked steak, every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was cozy, the service impeccable, and the overall dining experience was memorable. If you're in the mood for delicious kebabs and steak, this restaurant should be at the top of your list!

It was a very good experience, the quality of the food was excellent, and I liked the decoration very much

We ordered Pesian different kebab including joojeh, koobideh, chenjeh. Unfortunately, the quality was not what we expected. Meats were not tender and marinated well. Actually, kebab were tasteless. We will not try it again!

Best steak in Birmingham and the service is always fantastic

14 February , we came to this place by chance and we really liked the atmosphere and the live music , the manager and the girl on the bar were very friendly , there was one table for us , the whole room is full of people and very cool atmosphere . But the food , I've been waiting for my steak for an hour and can't taste it , the waiters are not interested . I don't think I will come here again, it took me an hour to get my steak and after they brought it to me I have absolutely no desire to eat it.

What can I say.... went with my husband. The food was great, the staff were pleasant, attentive and very friendly. A special shout out to Sinead who helped me find the groupon voucher on my phone tonight.....thanks Sinead:)

I visited De La Vies on a Saturday evening. We ordered mixed grill for two. Koobideh was salty; the rest were juicy and fine for me (my wife did not like them). The place is nicely decorated, but it was too crowded and noisy not suiting a proper conversation. Some acoustic works may be needed Parking is large but not large enough. The prices r fairly high.

The worst restaurant we have ever been, the kebab had a really bad smell to it, the waiter seemed like hating his job, and they added 10 percent service charge to our bill, even though their service was awful, we wouldn’t be going back there again.

Absolutely love the place eat here often and never disappoints

Absolutely delicious food , nice and polite staff

Fantastic food, highly recommend.

Me and my wife came to the restaurant after making reservations for our 2 year anniversary we were disappointed with the restaurant being fully closed at 8:30 with the closing time being 10:30 without any notice given we were extremely disappointed as this ruined our night let alone the fact they took our money and they haven’t picked up any calls at all or replied to emails, we went to McDonald’s instead :( in all seriousness I would like compensation

I came to this restaurant with bunch of friends last week, everything was great and staff were so helpful. Especially the Iranian girl called Nasim she was so nice and helpful. We ordered 3 kinds of cakes all of them were so delicious and special. Also, the environment was so cozy and beautiful. If I wanna gather together again with my friends definitely will come back to this restaurant.

Beautiful place and excellent food. The lady with the short shoulder length hair was really accomodating. Mains and desserts were particularly great.The only thing I would say the starters are a bit expensive for what it is (3 king prawns for almost £10! And the caprese salad which is vegetarian for £9!) Couldn't fault the service! What a great place in Bearwood!
