Amazing food could really do with a decent chippy in Birmingham city center there is only one and the food is awful please open up a dolphin fish bar in the city centre I'm sure you would do very well as the only choice is to go to pubs but they are not the same as a wonderful fish bar like yours.

Been going to the Dolphin for a long time, but what I experienced last night was horrific. Whilst you may have good chips, customer service is appalling. Arrogance at it’s finest. If it wasn’t for customers you wouldn’t have a business. I took my 3 yr old twins to get some chips at around 8.15 as we didn’t have time to cook and they were starving. One of the ladies that has a face on her like a wet weekend, loudly shouted, I can’t here with the noise, inadvertently referring to my twins that were just being kids. I asked to speak to the owner and frankly he was just as rude. He basically didn’t care and when I said I don’t need this as I have a funeral Tuesday when I just came to get some chips for my girls, his response was ‘do you know how many funerals I have been too’. Narcissistic and rude. Remember who pays your wages. I will from now on go to Dads’ Lane where they welcome children. If you have kids stay away

Came there today someone pushed infront in the que but staff seen that I had walked in but still chose to serve someone else, which I didn't make any point known, then I went to order there was someone who was on the phone when I got in there (customer) as I was asked what I would like ther customer raised his hand at me and said wait! Rude then I said to the person I was with let's go somewhere else as this is silly as the staff still choose to start shouting at me saying there is no need to be like this, but from someone pushing in the que when they knew we was there before them, to having someone put there hand in my face and get told to wait and the staff continue to serve that. Unprofessional. Rude, please check cameras today about quater past 12ish Thanks Food looked nice but I'm sorry I couldn't deal with how that was managed

This is truly the crown jewel of Selly Oak. I've eaten at a lot of fish bars, and I can honestly say that this one is the best I have been to. Their battered cod in particular is consistently top-quality—flaky textured, flavoursome, and perfectly crisp batter (they even gave me some scraps when I asked). There is almost never any food in the display; they appear to cook to order, which is great. The staff here are lovely and all seem to genuinely enjoy working together. They manage busy Friday evenings with ease & smiles. Prices are very good too, especially considering their generous portions (see photos of mini cod). I'm moving out, and I'll really miss this place— it's absolutely worth a visit if you're passing through Birmingham.

No real co-ordination. Can’t be relied upon to have everything you ordered. Waited 10mins over the 25mins they said my order would take. Then they realised they had no kebab! They were more than happy to accept my order and take payment, but when I politely asked how much longer would my order take, I was met with a barrage of abuse. They seem to think everyone else has an issue and they do nothing wrong. Unfortunately your recollection of events is inaccurate. It was the tone of which the server used. “I’m doing it Now!” Rather than, sorry for the delay, I’m preparing your order now. It is quite obvious your staff are in need of training and I mean this in the most constructive way possible. With regards to substitutes your staff offered, I can confirmed they did, however, when I declined, I did sense dissatisfaction from their response and when I asked for a refund, which was kind of what you had to do, they looked surprised Im not sure if you recall, but some time ago, I returned to your shop, after I realised your staff had under charged me and I called your shop and left a message informing you I would return so you could take the correct amount. I remember clearly it was you I spoke to when I returned. I hope this clears up any misrepresentation of my character when others read this review Furthermore, I note you and other members of your staff were complaining about other customers, so I’m not the only one who had issues on this day.

Great customer service, food is always tasty and fresh, clean establishment, portions decent and price point right. Thats the key to keep and retain custom- so rare now and many of the over hyped and often rubbish /surly service local food establishments locally could learn a lesson from a humble chippy thats doing it right!

Ate from here years ago whilst passing early evening and it was good. March 23 passed through the area at lunchtime on a week day and ordered small doner meat well done with chips, salt and vinegar on chips, just lemon juice on the meat. Ate outside and it was a blast from the past. The meat had no junk in it that we all have experienced in the last 20 odd years. Been twice since including two days ago and you can’t beat the quality anywhere in the midlands, the chips and meat are perfect . I will continue to make lunchtime detours as and when I get the craving, but may regret this review if it gets too popular 🤓

I came here as to treat my friend after I had came to visit her for the day and therefore had ordered us both a mini fish and chips and had to hold myself up to prevent myself from collapsing with the price of £6.40 each so a total of £12.80. Yes I understand cost of living has gone up but at that price I could have done a decent shop at my local supermarket. Mine had came with the curry sauce which was quite salty tasting and although the fish was tasty unfortunately I won't be in a rush to hurry back

Always my preferred chip shop for a long time,the fish is very tasty but found since the price hike the portions have got a lot smaller,scallops never available,maybe a tactic so you spend more,chips don’t taste as good as they did,fish was very nice but very small,not much bigger than a mini fish elsewhere,always have to wait for fish ,surely they could have a few ready on a busy night knowing they would sell quickly,phone orders always seem to take preference,no longer my place of choice,no value for money,long wait,but they will carry on doing well as only chip shop in area,nothing special,you can also taste the other foods on chips big no no for vegetarians and vegans,and even pescatarians

Was really disappointed with the service from older women working at lunch time on Thursday 30th march. I asked for chicken meat and chips and she did me donner meat. When I said I asked for chicken meat she was rude and said no I hadn’t and refused to change it saying she had already done it now. This was such a shame as the normal service from the other blonde haired lady when I go in on a Tuesday lunch time is exceptional.

We moved from Selly Oak 5 years ago and always used this chippy. We moved to great Barr and apparantly the chippy by the Beeches pub is supposed to be the best in Birmingham. Afraid not people, we visited a friend in selly oak today so popped in the Dolphin to get our dinner, even taken back to Great Barr and reheated in the microwave, the fish, pie and chips are as good as we remember, this chippy is the best we have ever eaten from. If they could move to Great Barr that would be brilliant 😂

However, when I opened it at home, it is small. Bit of frustrating. It is not a busy Friday night, but Tuesday.

We visited the Pershore road branch of this restaurant. After reading the good reviews we were so excited to try this place. We ordered the £50 mixed grill skewer - It was a huge platter, but mostly filled with salad but there's not even £10 worth of meat. The chicken wings in the platter was so undercooked, the blood was still dripping inside. The lamb fillet was hard as rock, we couldnt chew or cut. The purple cabbage in the salad smelled awful, it spoiled the whole experience. We were very disappointed, and finally had to fill us up with the chips and saffron rice which was bathed in oil. The dessert was just ok, nothing special as it described in the menu. The ambience was nice, and the host was friendly. But the food wasn't really worth the money. Will never visit again.

The delivery driver was polite and explained about why they were late and it was due to the order had been mixed up and they corrected it. There was a few things I picked out the salad that I don't like. But apart from that the vegan kebab was ok.
