I can't say enough wonderful things about the service I've received from Zoe over the years! She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, paying attention to every detail and always anticipating what I might need. Her professionalism and genuine care for her guests make her stand out in every interaction. Thank you for your truly exceptional service over the years!

I used to love Desco. Food was always out promptly (we usually go either Monday or Tuesdays at about 6pm) and was always delicious and worth the money. Lately, we've three times received wrong orders and one of us (my turn last night) has to sit waiting while everyone else eats. The food portions seem to have shrunk and we've all been left feeling disappointed. What's happened?! Please get your act together as the 5/6 of us really have enjoyed meeting there up to recently.

Been here a few times and to a couple of the other chains they have too. Food is good and hot drinks are great. Went there a few weeks ago and I took my dog in who was very elderly. Had a lovely lady approach me and ask me all sorts of questions about my dog and was so friendly. I even bumped into her soon after, as she must of finished her shift. Even then she was still wholesome and polite to me - I'm so sorry that I didn't catch her name but if you're reading this, thank you for being such a kind employee and person!

Just OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been asked by the owner to say why I gave the above comment. The service was very good and positive - no issues. However, the coffee was not great - guess I am spoilt by going to a couple of excellent coffee houese in B'ham and Solihull. It a a shame as they all seem to have the same machines?? Then the harissa chicken flatbread: it arrived cool, or at least not-hot. Had it been left to cool whicle my wife's meal was prepared? And it had little taste or harissa ("hot chili pepper paste" according to Wikipedia) punch. Presentation was v good but the product lacked flavour or fire . It was "just ok". I would have preferred to have given these comments privately and am happy to take down the post in due course. I confess that I am impresssed that Desco Lounge reached out to ask for an explanation.

(Updated review) Visited on Christmas Eve 2022 with my family for lunch. It was very busy and staff were clearly under a lot of pressure but unfortunately one of our groups food arrived cold, not a big deal and they quickly replaced this and apologised. Midway through eating my breaded chicken breast I noticed that it was completely raw in the middle, not just undercooked slightly but completely raw, this was seen and acknowledged by my whole family and our waitress. I was pregnant at this point so understandably very concerned! The front of house staff who handled it were fantastic and lovely, I couldn’t fault that, they were so apologetic and dealt with it really well but it’s concerning and disappointing that the kitchen sent out that out. I was called by the a male member of staff from the lounge a 3 days after the experience who was ‘checking on’ me (27th December) and was asked by the member of staff quite aggressively why I had not been to a doctor as I had been experiencing some not so nice symptoms following this… funnily enough, my GP was not open on Christmas Day or Boxing Day! I made head office aware of my experience and was informed I would be sent a goodwill gesture… this never came. I’ve been put off this place for life!

This review is based of a number of visits to Decso Lounge. Today being our most recent. I'm not one for normally writing reviews but all staff who work here deserve recognition. The customer service i can't fault staff are always friendly, welcoming and they take pride in looking after you whilst your there. The staff at Desco Lounge work well together a real team effort and that adds something lovely to the atmosphere of the place there a cheerful and caring bunch with a warm energy. Having a family member who is ceoliac dining out can difficult and risky but the staff here have a clear knowledge and understanding of allergens/intolerances. She's always been ok after eating here and the selection and choices on the GF menu is amazing You can tell the chef's take pride in the food they are serving to every customer the quality is always consistent. We've visited on a number of occasions at different times in the day at times when it's quiet and when it's been extremely busy but the experience has always been a good one, never disappointed and we always recommend desco lounge to family and friends definitely one of our favourite places Thanks to Zoe, Mark & everyone else working today for looking after us.

Great food as always! Slightly frustrating interactions with the server this time though. I ordered a flat white with cold milk using the online menu (so that it was safe to drink next to my toddler) and the server came to check whether I wanted it iced. No thank you, I'd just like the milk to be cold please. She then explained that a flat white is a hot coffee and again ask if I meant an iced coffee. Eventually I thought I had explained it properly by asking for it to be room temperature, but then the coffee I got was scalding hot anyway! I appreciate checking once but it made me feel like I was going a bit bonkers. Similar with my food order, I got a selection of the 'extras' and some were veggie (vegan sausage, vegan bacon) but I also got chicken for my daughter. When the server brought them over she made it sound like my order was weird and even said 'the kitchen was confused'! Everything I ordered was on the menu so I don't see what was confusing. It can't be that unusual that someone orders for multiple people at once, and that they might have different diets. Also this isn't the case for me but some people just don't eat pork. Unnecessarily judgmental overall!

My recent dining experience at Desco Lounge was regrettably overshadowed by two significant issues that significantly impacted the overall enjoyment of the meal. Unfortunately, the presence of hair in the food and the subpar temperature of the dishes left me with an unappetizing impression. Upon receiving my plate, it became immediately apparent that attention to hygiene was lacking. To my dismay, a long strand of hair was unmistakably woven into the dish. This was not only unappetizing but also raised serious concerns about the overall cleanliness of the kitchen and food preparation areas. In addition to the hygiene concern, the temperature of the food was far from satisfactory. The dishes (which was two breakfasts), which should have been served hot, arrived disappointingly cold. The contrast between the lukewarm temperature and the expectations of a freshly prepared meal was stark, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction. When i bought these issues to the attention of the staff on service, they were apologetic and responsive, and we were told that we would be contacted by the management team, at the time of writing still have had not been contacted.

Desco lounge has always been a favourite place to dine. So I was dismayed to have a bad experience whilst dining there with my husband. My two issues were… My HOT CHOCOLATE drink that tasted of oats! It was very unpleasant and I returned it.. the lady in charge said she had made it herself and used normal milk! and the taste difference was because it was Vegan! I didn’t realise there was a choice of milk until I checked the menu afterwards; apparently you can pay extra for oat milk as you may have a dairy allergies. I think they may be using the same jug for all there milks which isn’t great & could cause serious health complications for those with allergies. The lady did change my drink at no extra charge. I also ordered a side portion of fries for £3.10p. I received less than a small handful of fries. I asked if the portion was correct and was told the chef weighs the amount so it was correct. Honestly I thought it was daylight robber as there could only have been one small potato used. I have included pics.. felt totally ripped off!

We had a 50th Birthday for 29 people and - Bobby and team were excellent as we were asked to pre-inform the kitchen of our order. They had organised the upstairs to our preference and we were asked when we wanted the food to come out (the staff were excellent and very efficient) which was lovely (and hot!). We have also been for breakfast / dinner as a couple on several occassions and the place is great with a really good atmosphere.

I would NOT recommend going to the Desco Lounge in Shirley unless you like to pay to be sworn at and be treated with aggression by the serving staff which is condoned by management. Terrible evening - went to meet our friend who is back in the UK after moving to Spain. Employee/server, Jack pictured above, swore at my husband calling him a p***k because he asked if he could sit at the sofa area as you come in. The incident was reported to the General Manager (GM) Rob, who agreed that the behaviour was unacceptable and inappropriate. Rob refused to provide surnames claiming it is not company policy. However, Jack came to our table following our discussion with Rob and was verbally was aggressive towards me and my husband following the initial report to the GM. When this additional incident was reported to Rob the GM he said he would talk to Jack after his shift indicating that he condones Jack’s behaviour and was happy to treat the remaining customers in this manner. This behaviour is appalling, inappropriate and unacceptable! Jack and Rob need to be made aware that paying customers pay their salary too. Jack needs to find a job that is not customer facing or undergo comprehensive training and Rob also needs to undergo people management training and customer service training. I have never been so insulted! We are Shirley residents have been patrons of the Desco Lounge since it opened. In all the years we have visited the Desco Lounge we have never been spoken to in this disgusting manner or been subject to aggressive and threatening behaviour by the staff. The standard of service has deteriorated drastically since the new team have been working in situ. As Rob, the GM, was totally ineffective at dealing with the situation and ensuring our safety, our party of 6 chose to leave the restaurant with our daughter leaving in tears. This incident will be reported to Rob’s manager, Vesele - again no surname provided.

Came here first thing on a Sunday morning. It was quiet but there was a good atmosphere. I ordered the Lounge eggs with chorizo, peppers and guac and added some crumbed feta and halloumi. It was so delicious! Honestly just what I needed to start the day. My friend had the shakshuka which she hasn't had before, she really enjoyed it and was impressed by the portion size. I've visted several Lounge restaurants and I've never been disappointed which is unusual for a large chain restaurant. Do love the quirkiness of the Lounge chain and the hodge podge of decor and you always know what you're getting
