Don Diego Edgbaston in Birmingham

I eat at Don Diego in Birmingham. It is Spanish restaurant and food is very good. I feel like in Spain. I try tapas and they are delicious. My favorite is patatas bravas and calamari. The restaurant is small but nice. Decoration is like Spain and music is good. I feel comfortable. Staff is friendly and they help me choose food. I speak little English, they are patient and kind. I recommend Don Diego for people who like Spanish food. It is good place for eat and enjoy.

Had such a lovely evening, the atmosphere was warm, cosy and friendly. We were welcomed by the friendly staff and served in a timely manner. The food was quick to arrive, well presented and tasted great.

Second visit to Don Diego & we will be back. Hidden gem most definitely. Highly recommended. If you want "frou-frou, trendy, instagram, fine dining tasting menus" this is not the place for you. If you want excellent quality meat, fish & seafood, cooked by someone really who understands depth of flavour & how to cook these dishes amazingly well in an unfussy & delicious way, you will leave very happy.

Parked at Botanical gardens ahead of an event there and walked out to find something to eat. Wasn’t confident of finding anything but stumbled on this place and had an outstanding 3 course meal. It’s pretty understated on first impressions, but it’s the food that matters and all 6 dishes we had were high quality. Run by 2 brothers (one chef, one front of house) they deserve continued success. It’s not cheap but if you can, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed and we will definitely be back

Excellent experience in a warm and welcoming environment. Aubergine with goat cheese is highly recommended. I definitely come back

Last night was our third visit in two months. Food is flavoursome and very good. A bonus on Wednesday when you can bring your own bottle, although their wines are also very good. Highly recommeded.

This was our first visit and most definitely won't be the last! Food and service are absolutely fantastic from starters, main to dessert!!! Very welcoming with great service and valu for money. Will definitely go back.

Food was quite nice but very overpriced Menu super limited if you don’t pre order and quite unfriendly service. Won’t be returning

This was our first visit and it won’t be the last. We had a lovely evening. Delicious food and wine, we enjoyed every course. The brothers are so friendly and welcoming, would definitely recommend visiting. 😃

Another wonderful evening at Don Diego on Wednesday, bring your own wine night. Fabulous service and food in this warm, friendly and ambient restaurant. We chose prawns in lobster bisque and wild mushrooms to start, suckling lamb and monkfish with mash and mixed grilled veg for mains and chocolate and whisky semifredo and limoncello with a homemade shortbread biscuit for dessert. We finished off with a cappuccino and orange and cherry brandy each. Highly recommend this restaurant for fresh, imaginative, well cooked, well presented and piping hot food. Thank you Eddie and Alfonso

What a gem of a restaurant. Enjoyed fabulous dinner there. Very impressed with cooking and presentation of food. Great service and a real treat of a meal. Will definitely return and cannot recommend highly enough.

I booked a table on a whim, based on the trip advisor reviews. The food was excellent, tasted amazing and were realistic portion sizes. Service was great even met the chef at the end of service. We felt like we were in Spain. Already booking our next visit.

My husband and I visited this restaurant on Wednesday evening. A warm welcome from Eddie, we were seated, Eddie opened our wine which we brought with us and poured us a glass each, he then brought us some delicious Spanish olives. Our starters arrived shortly afterwards, we opted for black pudding piquillo peppers with bravo sauce and piquillo peppers filled with spring onion and goats cheese, served with warm ciabatta bread. For mains we chose beef cheeks, lamb meatballs, roasted vegetables and chips. The food was piping hot, fresh, well cooked and served and extremely tasty and filling. For dessert we chose chocolate brownie and lemon posset, again delicious. We finished off with a coffee each and my husband enjoyed a double Spanish brandy. This was our first social time out in 2 years, a wonderful experience in every way. Thoroughly recommend and we shall return again soon. Thank you Eddie and Alfonso. Regards Kate and Chris 😃😃

We went to Din Diego recently. It was 5 of us and all had really nice food an a very good experience. Eddie is very attentive and Alfonso and expert chef. We were delighted with the experience. We will definitely come back.

It’s was my second visit and I was delighted that their very high standards have been maintained despite the challenges created by Covid I had the squid followed by baby lamb with the lemon posset to finish. All 3 courses were excellent with the lamb being particularly memorable The only disappointment was that the restaurant was so quiet. They deserved to be absolutely buzzing given the quality but clearly we are still in far from normal times. Hopefully trade picks up quickly as they definitely deserve peoples support given the quality and value for money.

This unassuming gem in Edgbaston had my stomach splitting with happiness. The suckling lamb was outstanding, the perfect marriage between moisture and falling off the bone, a hard combo to get right, and a huge portion size to keep me smiling. The service was warm...

Had read the reviews before booking and Don Diego certainly did not disappoint. I could tell we were going to be in for a good evening from the moment the bread and olives arrived at the table, the accompanying olive oil was top quality as...

We had beef cheeks and piglet belly and OMG, the food was exceptional. When you couple that with amazing friendly, professional service, it adds up to a amazing evening! Highly recommended. Thank you guys; you make a great team.

The food and service we received from Eddie at Don Diego was nothing short of amazing. From the initial booking the contact we received was fast and efficient giving us the opportunity to select our choice of courses before arriving. Eddie was a delightful host...

Lovely restaurant in a quiet environment, food and was amazingly tasty and an excellent service. Thank you very much. We are looking forward to come back. Strongly recommend.

Booked this restaurant just the day before and was not disappointed. Eddie was attentive and made sure we were well looked after. We pre ordered our food and we were so happy with our choices. The portion sizes are generous to say the least and...

I recently visited Don Diego with a group of friends. The owners were very welcoming and ensured that we were very well looked after throughout the evening. The restaurant has a very personal touch, which is personified by the owner managing the serving alone, without...

Visited this fantastic restaurant on 6/11/21, great place and the food outstanding a hidden gem and will definitely be visiting again next time we are in Birmingham. Pardon Pepper starters cooked perfectly and the sucking lamb superb. Thanks for a great evening

Expensive, 4 pounds for an expresso Food wasn't that great either, rubbery octopus. Oh and did I mention the 25 pounds charge on top of the bill because we brought a cake????

What an amazing restaurant, food and service. We were made to feel so welcome and the food was fantastic. We were celebrating my birthday and the brothers who own/run it were great. Highly recommended.

Arranging a night out for 8 foodies is always daunting. This restuarant did not disappoint. The food was fabulous. We all ordered different dishes, giving us a chance to sample the full menu and eveyone was delighted. I enjoyed every single bite ..._ from the...

A quick search on the internet for fish restaurants in Birmingham and this little place popped up. Have not got a bad word to say about it. BothThe service and the food was magnificent. The portions were bigger than expected. Highly recommend.

We ate splendidly at Don Diego last night, with every single dish being extremely flavoursome. The house wines were good and the service was great. We were a bit put off by there only being three tables of guests on a Thursday night but alphonso...

Alfonso and Eddie prepared an epic feast for the celebration of our daughters wedding last week. It was such happy occasion, meeting up with a large group of friends and family after lockdown. The evening was a fantastic success, we would not have changed a...

Absolutely amazing food, cooked to perfection, generous portions and wonderful service. meat just fell apart, so delicious. Thank you so much!!

What you get with Don Diego is delicious food, attentive service and an warm atmosphere. Alfonso and Eddie care a lot about each of their guests and their experience. Would recommend to anyone.

What an amazing restaurant - the food was incredible with the slow roasted lamb being my absolute favourite. The salmon tartare was superb! Very attentive service with nothing being too much trouble. Will be back very soon!

An absolutely fantastic restaurant in Edgbaston! Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior, inside there’s a warm welcome and delicious food waiting. We had the scallops and langoustine to start, followed by the octopus and the pork meatballs, with grilled vegetables and chips to share....

What a secret gem....this establishment has been open for 5 years and I've only just discovered this. Run by 2 brothers who display passion in the food & service. Will be looking forward to my next visit. I booked wanting that wow factor and my...

Stunning food, favourite with the locals. Came across it after searching through restaurants when on a trip to Birmingham. Owned by two brothers… one chef and one front of house. Can’t fault service or food at all. If you enjoy excellent quality food with a...

Stunning little restaurant, with the owner being the waiter and brother being the chef. The food quality is brilliant, and you are assured of the recipe heritage and food quality by the fact that the people serving you the food are the ones who pick...

Lovely meal, freshly prepared with love and care, beautifully presented. Great service too, very attentive and personal.

First time visiting Don Diego’s tonight. Such a friendly atmosphere as soon as we stepped through the door. The food was tasty- the chicken breast was juicy and cooked to perfection. The ox cheeks pulled apart beautifully. The desserts of sticky toffee pudding and lemon...

Unassuming little place, tucked away in Edgebaston. Service is exactly how it should be, attentive without being intrusive, food is of a high standard and quality, the prices are extremely reasonable. We left feeling full, happy, relaxed and both agree it was pretty perfect in...

Visited with my boyfriend on the last night before November lockdown. I have lived in Birmingham for 3 years and was looking for somewhere new to try - I had no idea this was here despite driving past the road quite often. We had the...

Tucked away Spanish Restaurant . Very friendly and efficient service. Great food expertly cooked. Easy parking. I thoroughly recommend this place. Coping well with current Covid recommendations.

I took my husband to Don Diego for the first time. Everything was exceptional, from the pre-ordering to the arrival, starters of melt in your mouth scallops in pea puree and finger licking good fishcakes. Our mains of octopus and monkfish were absolutely delightful. Ed...

Food up to the usual very high standards. The starters were delicious. I had the peppers followed by a tasty monkfish. My brother had scallops and fishcakes and my sister in law two starters - artichokes and mushrooms. Everything cooked beautifully and very fresh. We...

We went there based on good reviews and we were not disappointed. We ordered octopus legs, beef cheeks and baby lamb legs. I had beef cheeks, which was super tender and delicious. It sort of melts in your mouth. I also had a bit of...

My partner and I finally made it to eat at Don Diego last night. It was a quiet Wed evening and we chose an early meal so arrived at 6pm. We were asked to confirm our starter and main the day before which worked well....

We've being trying to eat here for well over a year but always tried to book too late. It's run by two brothers and an assistant, so a small outfit, but they're clearly doing something right as every other party dining on the same night...

The quantity and quality are excellences on this restaurant. Great variety of dishes and desserts. The best Spanish wines. Bathrooms are immaculately clean, this is really important for me.

Don Diego is an excellent find of a restaurant situated, oddly, in the heart of a small shopping precinct. I must admit that my expectations were low but I was blown away once I got in. As we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed into...

Dined at Don Diego last Saturday, us three had a superb experience, great service by the front of house chap which I assume is one of the owners The food was of high quality, great ingredients especially my king prawns which its most celebrated lobster...

This was our first visit here and we were made to feel welcome and valued right from the moment we walked into this lovely restaurant. Our host was friendly, chatty and professional. Our food was delicious. I chose the cod which was cooked to perfection....

The outside of Don Diego's is functional and ok.....but wait until you get inside. Attentive, professional service, and such wonderful food. The price is amazingly good value and the dining atmosphere is relaxed - great spacing of tables and friendly. Back to the food -...

Beautifully cooked food, lovely relaxed atmosphere, attentive servers. King prawn starter with lobster bisque was perfectly prepared and the best I have had in a long time. Had a great evening and will be back!

Food here is very tasty. They use good ingredients. Service is friendly genuine nice people. Personally we would say they need a bit of an investment on the interior and perhaps the layout it's very dated. Could be really good

Looks can be deceiving and although the exterior is not much to look at, not is the interior decoration... the food and service cannot be faulted. The king prawns were delicious to start and the sauce mopped up with extra bread (all tasted fresh). For...

relaxed Spanish restaurant,serves good food and excellent wine in an intimate atmosphere.prices reasonable,run by two brothers who know how to serve up a real taste of Spain.....Will certainly return....

Visited this restaurant last night for the first time with my husband. A very warm welcome from Eddie, one of the two brothers who own the restaurant. We were seated and given the menus. On reading through the menus we were asked if we’d like...

While some of the dishes were quite tasty, presentation is very rustic. The interior is a bit dated and tables are quite close to make private conversation difficult.. On a positive note the service was very upbeat. If the kitchen could enhance the presentation of...

Visited a couple of weeks ago and will definitely be back. Scallops were absolutely beautiful and Ox Cheek gorgeous. Even the side dishes of grilled vegetables which are normally a bit meh in most places tasted fresh and the carrots were sweet and moreish. After...

Visited when here to take university daughter out for a meal. Really lovely . Family run , easy reach of the university by taxi but parking outside if driving. Warm welcome and excellent food . We had artichoke , fish cakes , goats cheese and...

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere. Staff are so lovely and welcoming. Really authentic food. Recommend the fish cake as a starter 😊

We came here at the end of January for my Dad's birthday and both the food and the service were fantastic! There is a great range of dishes all of which are executed to perfection! I would highly recommend a visit!

Took my boyfriend for his birthday. Fantastic food and service. Boyfriend had the ox cheeks and he said they were amazing and the portions were huge. I had fish and I am a very fussy fish eater, but it was cooked perfectly. Good wine, good...

Group Christmas meal for 10. Really good value compared to normal menu, £28 for 3 courses and there was a good choice of dishes. Food quality was excellent, fantastic flavours. Service and ambience good. 10% service charge added, I'm not a fan of that. I...

A group of ten of us went to Don Diego’s for a Christmas meal together. We had a really great evening thanks to the hosting/waiting by Eddie and the cooking of Alfonso. Of course the highlight was the food, Spanish-English fusion, delicious and so well...

We really enjoyed our first visit. The menu is very tempting, making it hard to choose! We shared fish cakes and scallops to start which were both delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken with mojo sauce and my boyfriend had the pork tenderloin which he...

Amazing food cooked to the highest standard; delicious with excellent service. We will definitely go back for more

Very warm welcome. Very good service and good food, which is simple but delicious. Menu isn't big but more tastier.

Visited on Friday during a weekend in Birmingham and so worth venturing a couple of mikes out of the city for a fabulous meal. Starters of black pudding, scallops with pea purée were delicious. Large mains of cod loin, fabulously cooked Ox cheeks - so...

Friday night visit which should have seen the place fully booked based on the quality of the service and food. The fish cakes and lamb cannelloni were delicious and the ox cheek main went down a treat. I am not a pudding person but the...

We had delicious food and excellent service. We would absolutely go back any time. Thanks for fantastic evening.

I’d seen the great reviews of Don Diego and wanted to try it for a while and it really did not disappoint. We eat out quite a bit and it was by far the best meal I’d had all year. The restaurant is owned by...

Went here last night for dinner, what a great local restaurant. Food was amazing, the best octopus I have eaten outside if spain... the food here is really authentic spanish and the wine was great too. The restaurant is ran by two brothers and the...

Such a delightful place , glorious food great service and reasonably priced food/drinks. If you haven’t been go because will will be going back

Very good food and friendly service. The bill for both of us for 3 courses and alcohol was £70. Would definitely return.

Wonderful choice of well presented delicious plates. Perfect for friends to share. Each the perfect size so if there is something you do not like you can leave that to your friends and you hog the plate you do like.

I loved our meal here - fantastic food (especially the fish cakes!), lovely wine and brilliant service. The atmosphere was great and I thought it was very well priced for such excellent food. We will definitely be back, I can’t wait to try some of...

Despite its unassuming location some inspired cooking and flavour combinations on offer here. Spanish canarian inspired fusion. I had pork shoulder cannelloni with some great paprika flavours coming through. Octopus leg for main (see pic) with a great mojo sauce. My only minor gripe is...

Great family run business Proper Spanish for and you can tell these guys have passion and make the freshest hottest tastiest food If you're in Harborne give these guys a try

A hidden surprise nestling in the square opposite the white swan! Hot plates, cold drinks. Delicious food of very high quality. Not particularly cheap but well worth trying. Wine also strong!

Good food in a pleasant setting. Chef continues to produce authentic Spanish food at reasonable prices.

Stayed at a hotel on Hagley Road and popped down for a quick meal on my own as it is just a short walk down the road Artichokes and Cod Loin this time, a superb glass of Rioja and for pudding an Almond Tart. Recommend...

A great family restaurant; good service; excellent fresh and authentic food - a lobster bisque to die for

Attended Sunday for a family birthday meal and was not disappointed. Ours was a set menu so not extensive but every course was beautifully cooked and presented and just tasted divine. The place was welcoming and Eddy and Al were the most welcoming of hosts....

You’ll be delighted and surprised when you step through the door into this cosy yet unpretentious restaurant in a mini shopping area near Edgbaston. The Spanish team give you a warm welcome and present you with an array of delicacies with starters such as lamb...

A Spanish restaurant with very good mostly authentic well cooked tasty food. Good portions. Excellent service. Interior was OK. Overall very good value for money

First visit to this restaurant. It was excellent service from one of the brothers and very welcoming they even knew our names which was a very personal touch. It beats the chain restaurants that you never get that personal attention. I can only say the...

From the moment we were welcomed into this cosy Spanish restaurant we knew it would match our expectations. Firstly the bread that was served was fresh and piping hot from the oven , our 2 starters salmon tartare and lamb cannelloni were delicious. The mains...

This was our first visit to Don Diego and was not sure what to expected. The menus was short but enough choices for us. Fish cakes and pardon peppers were really good to get started and ox cheek and chicken for mains yum

Had visited Don Diego last year and on a recent visit with my business partner two weeks ago I am obliged to say it has gone for better. Located in leafy Edgbaston tucked away from most of the buzzy places up the road in High...

I do not tend to write reviews but I just felt I ought to do one on this fantastic place. We dined last month a table of 3 friends and we received the warm and friendly welcome of a happy chap who led us to...

Nice welvome and good service. Food is tasty well most of the dishes.. Interior decor a bit basic that and the plastic menus makes it feel a little old fashioned. Probably should be rated as a 3.5/5 good but not very good.

We went here for a family birthday. The food was delicious and out of this world. We all wanted to try everything so we ordered one of each meals. The bread board was crusty bread fresh from the oven. The king prawns had a delicious...

Nice lively feel dining here. Good staff. Friendly service. Food is OK but too many dishes overcooked. Final bill also a liitle high for this standard.

We visited Don Diego on the eve of my daughter’s graduation from UoB, and were treated to a fabulous meal and hospitality. Though quiet, we felt at home and relaxed throughout, with warm + efficient service, and a friendly chat with the brothers after the...

Run by 2 brothers, not be put off by the "out of town" location, or the fact is often quiet. Authentic restaurant owned and run by 2 brothers. Great service, even better food

Four of us visited for the first time and all four of us agreed that the food was very good and bordering on excellent. The wine was also good. The service was very good. The decor is not great and we felt that at the...

The food was delicious. Simple Spanish food but well prepared. I suggest that the owners improve the presentation of the menu - no need for plastic holders these days - a simple printed page would be much better. Also please turn off the loud answer...

We recently visited this restaurant and were very pleased. The cuisine is excellent, the service is quick and polite, the atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant. I can safely recommend Don Diego Edgbaston.
