Farina Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar in Birmingham

Service was fantastic, highly recommend the place .

Fantastic food as always. Personal attention from chef and great service as always

This spot is amazing for great food and drinks! Wine was a perfect selection for my food and my partners steak was to absolutely die for!!!!! Starters came in perfect time! Staff were only friendly and chef came to check that everything was ok! Perfect meal out for the family!

Fantastic food and hospitality really good place meeting family/friends. Definitely worth a visit if you have never been before

Went on valentine's day, we got such nice food but the service was slow as there was only one person working. Would go again if service was quicker. The valentine's decorations were beautiful though!!!

Came here for valentines day, decorations were so beautiful, food was okay and the service was slow because of less staff but the waitress who served us was so helpful and friendly!!

Absolutely lovely restaurant hidden away in Sutton Coldfield. We booked a table for 10 on a Sunday and I think they ended up opening early for us which was really nice of them. The food was excellent - I had the scallops as a starter which were cooked perfectly. We all had different mains which were all cooked fresh to order and were all delicious The service was great and our server was really attentive and friendly. I’d definitely some back here again and would highly recommend it! ☺️

This was my first visit and I can't praise this restaurant too highly. Great menu, great service and superb food. If you've not eaten here before give it a try.

Have dined near this restaurant many times but didn't realise this place was here. What a gem of a place. They managed to accommodate us at short notice on a Friday evening. We shared a cheesy garlic bread for starter which was tasty. My husband had the steak which he said was perfectly cooked. I had the pollo a la crema which was very good, both came with a decent sized side. Great restaurant, good service and great value for money. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended

Wonderful place with delicious food and great service. I had the swordfish, which was delicious, and it felt like I was on holiday again in the Mediterranean. Would definitely go again

Fabulous food and service at Farina tonight. There were 6 of us and we all had something different. Freshly cooked food and piping hot. Will visit again soon.

Lovely evening , lovely food , decent prices. Would come again

So this restaurant is decent. I ordered a garlic bread that was very tasty indeed and enough for starter and ordered the lamb kebab skewer for main which was also delicious. It was served on the skewer with a tasty variety of vegetables. The menu has a wide variety of Mediterranean options that I certainly will return to try.

The menu seems massive which always worries me (maybe I’ve been watching too much Gordon Ramsay!)… but every time we’ve been we can’t fault the freshness. The ingredients are actually very versatile and everything is cooked fresh. The food is delicious and overall the value for money is excellent! The waiter that used to be there could be a little overbearing but I believe he’s no longer working there which personally I think will be a real plus point. This is a little gem and I hope to see the restaurant continue to go from strength to strength.

Great food and charming service. Portions are generous and meals are well presented and taste delicious!

Went Saturday night Food was beautiful Service excellent Great choice on menu Good value Highly recommend this restaurant

Great food and superb personal service. Expansive menu with a varied choice of options. All food freshly cooked and very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

Best food I've ever had. You should definitely come and try

Poor service, lamb was so fatty and tough, when I told the waiter ,all he said was do you want a sharper knife. 🙄Won’t return

Ive visited this place on several occasions and the food has always been top quality aswell as the atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant as a whole i would definitely recommend

i came here with my 3 children and the family friendly atmosphere is perfect for a family night out w the friendly waiters and amazing food. such a surprise that such an amazing restaurant isnt as busy as it should be

from the brilliant waiter's to the warm family like atmosphere as the head waiter greets you as you walk in. whats not to like about this restaurant? their pizza, spaghetti and scallops tasted amazing were fresh aswell, will definitely be returning

Positives: Nice clean restaurant, waiting staff attentive and friendly Negatives: Billed £27.99 for a bottle of wine we never ordered. We weren't drinking wine, one of us was on water, the restaurant was quiet - 3 tables, I dont see how this "mistake" was made.. Kitchen smells wafting through restaurant Average food quality for high end prices

Delicious food!! Fantastic service and will definitely be returning! Lovely flexible staff with having children there too, they'll accommodate your needs. Good value for money. The Linguine Al Diablo (spicy seafood pasta) was absolutely amazing! Good recommendation of wine given by the waiter. We went for my birthday and it was a real treat. Get yourselves down to the hidden Napoli restaurant Farina, you won't be disappointed.

Exceptional food, great service. Had a fantastic evening. Thank you for you to all the staff at Farina’s Restaurant. Come here once a week. Adore the scallops! X

A spontaneous visit after a school open evening. We had rushed to get to school so all 3 of us were very hungry. The owner was really friendly, kind and welcoming. Husband had a margarita pizza, fussy eater daughter had carbonara for the first time and loved it. I had pasta verde, which was delicious. Thank you - will return x

Great service and excellent dishes. Would recommend 100%.

Well looked after by staff, 2 young children who both enjoyed their visit! Food and wine very good!!

I really enjoyed my meal there. The beef souvlaki was fresh with loads of meat. I then had the freshly home made tiramisu for dessert. Excellent service. I was very impressed.

best garlic break and pizza i’ve ever tried! the food was all freshly cooked too which can be seen through an open kitchen, highly recommended

Went Farina with a friend, we were asked three time to take starters away, apparently our fish were cooked.Our swordfish were so dry and we told the waiter but he didn't do anything. It was a bad experience that the waiter timed wrong for our main course and the fish tased like chicken. Never go back or recommend to friends

Delicious food, great service from the staff. Definitely recommend the place. I’d definitely try again. Great for family gatherings

We had a lovely birthday,and food was delicious.

Amazing. Having read some of the reviews I was a bit reticent to go. Glad we did. Service was excellent, food hot and very tasty and service was quick, staff very helpful. MY wife and I, on my birthday meal, were delighted with everything. Well nearly. My Guinness was brewed in Nigeria!!!!

Excellent food and service. A few of us ordered from the Specials menu (I had a delicious chicken with tarragon and asparagus) which are served with either fries or vegetables. I opted for vegetables and they were the probably one of the best side dishes I’ve ever had. Good portion and variety of veg. Everyone I was with loved their meal including a calzone, Greek style salad and pizza. There’s a great variety on the menu.

Oily food not really what I call freshly prepared or tasty. All I could taste was oil. I have made better at home

Amelia was a great waitress. Food was also very tasty. Highly recommend the garlic bread!

Starter and Main course presented with Garnish that definitely didn't smell fresh. Both starter and main were over cooked. Kofte certainly was robust! Dessert was mushy, more like warm cream than Brulee. Liked the fruit garnish though. The House Red was really nice though. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Given time it will find its place but a tough gig competing with the Pub next door.

I've been here a couple of times, this time with my mum, and I can tell you each time the food, presentation ambience and friendlyness of the staff gets better. I would recommend this restaurant every time..

Went here for the first time after being recommended by my daughter. We had starters and mains and they were delicious. We were warmly greeted by the waiter/owner who was very attentive throughout our meal. I was so impressed I have booked the restaurant for...

Cozy, select, delicious food, superb atmosphere

Clean inside and delicious food

Delicious quality food with excellent service. All four of us enjoyed the meals. The desserts were homemade and delicious. Will visit again

Wow! Incredible choice. The four of us enjoyed quality delicious tasting meals. The waiter was engaging, funny and paid attention to detail. Amazing homemade desserts were mouthwatering. Highly recommended

I have been to this restaurant several times with both family and friends, and every time, everyone has said how amazing the food is. Staff are very welcoming and remember you if you have visited before. Would highly recommend.

Had a menu through our door and decided to give this place a try. Visited at 6pm on a Friday, it was really quiet , we received a lovely welcome from Gio. Food was excellent, plenty of choices on the extensive menu. We will definitely...

Our second visit to this gem of a restaurant and our experience was as impressive as the first. A very pleasant and contemporary environment is matched by a highly professional and well organised service. The head man has clearly perfected the art of "front of...

A hidden gem in Sutton Coldfield! Never been before but would definitely go back.Food was flavoursome & piping hot.Staff were attentive and friendly and decor is classy.Reasonably priced meals freshly cooked which is a bonus.

Decided to try Farina after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and can honestly say it was not a disappointment. Food was delicious and tasty and very reasonably priced. The espresso martini was also made to a perfect standard

Amazing food , Amazing atmosphere ,lots of great choices, Giovanni Amazing houst, look after us in the best way possible , will be coming back very soon .

We have been several times before and always enjoy the food here so it was an obvious choice for us to book for Mother's day. The menu is excellent but our food was definitely average tonight. One dish, the carbonara was watery and lacked flavour,...

On the whole, lovely food and ok service but slow. However as a vegetarian I struggled with the menu, apart from pizza, there was only one veggie main listed. In the starters one of the labelled veg options had parmesan cheese in it despite the...

Lovely friendly restaurant, three different meals, seabass, risotto and linguine, all very tasty meals nicely presented, definitely returning.

Popped in for a well deserved Friday night meal with my partner. We ordered only mains. They were delicious. I had a hanging mixed kebab and my partner had the prawn main. We were both impressed by the food and the service. We will be back. To work our way through the menu. Highly recommend. Great value for 2 mains and alcoholic drinks. You will love it

Can’t believe I hadn’t been before: Farina is very good. Delicious risotto and homemade tiramisu, welcoming staff and nice decor. Recommended!

I viited Farina this evening for the first time and would highly recommend The food was top class. The staff were very friendly and e were served quickly Will be returning in the future

This place is lovely the waitress who said she was called Natalia is absolutely lovely and a great waitress

Really lovely atmosphere great food

Started really well. It’s a nice place, small and friendly. Starter was good, we had olives and bruschetta. Offered water for the table which we didn’t realise was not complimentary and cost us £4.50 when other tables just had a jug of water. Staff tended to us for a few minutes at the start but plates were left for ages in front of us once finished starter & main. They had bigger groups in which were demanding more attention but we were looked at by some staff and ignored a few times. Main was underwhelming, I had the pollo royal and the saffron was massively overpowering for the amount of sauce. Veg was nice though. Spag bol was tasteless. Won’t be returning unfortunately.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Authentic Mediterranean food in a lovely restaurant and the service is very friendly.

We arrived to an empty restaurant on a Friday evening which should've rang alarm bells. We were greeted by a waiter who was in all fairness was polite and welcoming. However, the menu was overwelming and the food was very disappointing. Our waiter approached us an uncomfortable amount of times to make conversation. The greeting was enough, we didnt want to be entertained we came out for eachothers company. He broke a glass by my girlfriends foot and failed to clean it up properly. My girlfriend and I both ordered chicken dishes. The chicken was tough.The bowls in which the side orders were in were roasting hot suggesting they've been reheated in the microwave. We complained. The waiter and chef then began arguing in the open kitchen. Overall the quality of food and service was very poor. Avoid at all costs!!

This is one fine Italian restaurant. The food here is delicious. Definitely recommended this place. .

Best lamb kebab On the town Food was phenomenal, worth every penny and the decor inside was wonderful. All the waiting staff were fantastic Definitely recommended

Amazing and very clean italian restaurant absolutely fresh fish, highly recommend farina restaurants

This is one fine Italian restaurant. The food here is delicious. Definitely recommended this place

the Food was lovely chicken on mine was a little dry but otherwise great tasty meals, nice venue and tentative friendly staff

What can I say. There was a group of 11 of us,and 5 sat with coats on all night. Like the temperature outside, the restaurant was freezing. Despite asking for the heating to be turned up on more than one occassion, nothing happened... A real...

Lovely ambience and attentive service, food lovely and great menu. Glad we found this place as it is close by. Shame it wasn't more central so it had more customer as it is a hidden gem. Definitely be going again!

over priced, poor service, to much choice and some dishes lacked meat

Tried Farina for the first time - nice menu, nice place, everything seemed high quality…but it wasn’t long before we noticed how slow the service was…long wait for order to be taken, long wait for plates to be cleared, nobody came to ask if we...

Most of the food was very tasty. Unfortunately our side dishes had been forgotten and arrived to the table about 10 minutes after our main course. The service was very friendly but for a Saturday evening they need more staff, particularly someone dedicated to the bar and bills. We were seated near the bar/kitchen as we booked last minute but this made it very busy and not as relaxing as we'd hoped. A lot of potential if staffing was improved. The tiramisu was the best we've ever tasted!

Never been to this restaurant before excellent fresh food had muscles and pizza all very tasty wine was very good as well which is unusual by the glass, the staff could not do enough for us. So I strongly recommend this Resturant as it’s definitely...

Manager's attitude needs improvement

Very polite and sweet service, about food it’s incredible I hope you’ll enjoy your food in that beautiful restaurant.

Waheed makes thee most amazing scallops! All the good is great here however, the scallops are divine. Lovely people, friendly and personable.

Was looking forward to what others had said was good food. Lovely starter but 4/5 prawns in my dish was a lite underwhelming. Main course very disappointing. Chicken and kamb marinated meat fairly dry and tasteless on a sprinkling of some sad lettuce leaves. Both myself and friend had this but wouldn't order that again. Overall, a bit disappointed

You must try Farina, what a find it is, you wont be disappointed. The food is amazing, service is impeccable, they couldn't do enough for us. Its a million times better than the restuarant down the road with the same kind of menu. Very good...

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent choice of food which is full of favour. The calzone and Greek salad are amazing! Great choice of drinks. Had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!

We have been coming to Farina for the last two or three years and will keep coming back. You are always sure of a very warm welcome from the waiting staff and the owner. The food is consistently exceptional and cooked to perfection. A great...

Great food at Great price, thanks for a lovely meal

My friend dragged me out to eat here. We had a lovely warm welcome and everyone seemed genuinely happy to meet you. Our host was Mahsa. She was so helpful and took time to explain things and check up on us, it was amazing service. Then the food arrived! That's seriously were this place shine! Freshly cooked food and you taste it! It really was amazing! Parking isn't the best if you can't get a spot outside, but it's worth the walk for the food! Highly recommend. ENJOY!

what a diiefrence ! went in august and very happy the cheese cake was the best i have ever had went last weekend and my stroganoff was awfull the meat was tough and the sause was like overdone bisto my mothers greek chickin salad was...

Great evening. Excellent food with great choice. Excellent friendly service. Staff looked after us really well and everyone enjoyed.

Had a night out in sutton and past Farina, looked a beautiful little smart restaurant and decide to eat there. Seated down, decors really nice and suttle. We had been at work all week , long hours, fancied a night out and Unfortunately the evening didnt start well. Seated down , given menus and then was left to ponder whether or not we had turned invisible, plenty times we were passed, seemed to me that the regulars and upper clientel were of more importance..30 minutes had passed until I had to go up and say its been 30 minutes and we havent even been offered a drink. Offered some olives as a way of an apology , unfortunately we dont like olives. And no other means were offered after blatantly being disregarded for a third of our evening. Compliments to the chef The food we ordered , chorizo starter, lamb espetada and parmesan chicken, was very nice. And the waiter we had when one came over was very good. However we all know the negatives stand out a hell of a lot more than the positives and thats generally what you tell people. The food made the evening ok, even though it was very good, Something so simple as a drink which is normal to ask in restaurants immediately or within 5 minutes was totally forgotten, honest mistake perhaps or unprofessional, but based on that we wont be returning. Again the food was lovely, but overall the evening was marred by sitting there for half an hour seemingly disappearing into the background....

Food was hit and miss (more miss though - very plain, no flavour). Service was absolutely crazy bad. Waiter very unprofessional - argued that we were late for booking even if proved we haven't, made some ridicules comment and not appropriate jokes, was very rude!

Extensive menu with a Mediterranean twist. The food was tasty and portions generous. Good selection of wines served in pleasant surroundings. Service was great so we shall return.

Second time I've been to Farina and each time the food has been fab. Service is great and prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed my birthday here on Sunday lunch time .amazing but was surprised me on tables .service was great and food was excellent 🤌🏽.

we've had 2-course meal for £16.99 !!!!! the food was superb and so was the service, already booked for our next visit best local restaurant in Sutton Coldfield, definitely recommend it

Great experience this evening. Great food, excellent services and ambience surrounding. Lady who served was super polite. Well done guys and will defo visit again.

Very little interaction between staff and guests apart from pointing to our table and taking our order. Menus were like takeout menus on paper, not something I would ever have picked up as an issue but it sets the scene and the theme. Things not...

Our four turned up without a booking but it wasn't a problem. An excellent £16.99 menu was available and the nicely paced service gave us a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Finished off with a candle and a song for my wifes birthday. Thank you Farina and...
