Farina Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar in Birmingham

Lovely meal at an amazing restaurant! We will definitely be back xx

Came here for a lovely meal with my family for my dad’s birthday. The food was lovely and the staff were so attentive, couldn’t fault the service. Would definitely recommend!

beautiful food, menu just right in size. Kids loved the pizza and dipping breads/oils and olives. I had the tagliatelle arribiata, side of the vegetables/mushrooms, others had lasagna and the salmon. All very happy. Tirimasui was absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely return, highly recommend

Fantastic little gem. Amazing food and service. Definitely be back

Birthday meal for me & my friend fabulous food friendly staff can’t recommend enough

Fabulous food, the fish is so fresh. We had monkfish and it was to die for!!! Really worth a visit

This place has just reopened as an Italian restaurant. I had the pollo parmigiana and my husband had the steak, food was excellent. The service was great, we will definitely be back to try the pizzas! My only feedback is when I paid the bill the server put the amount into the machine, he kept hold of the card machine and bent over next to me to ask me select gratuity. This made me very uncomfortable. The expected etiquette is to hand the card machine to the customer and step away so they have the freedom to select the gratuity they think is most appropriate.

What a gem! Excellent quality food & service. Also highly recommend the fabulous cocktails.

Delicious food and great service! I highly recommend it! 🙏🏻🤤

Recommend Dizzy Restaurant to all people

We often pass by this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Since we live in Sutton, it’s local to us, and we were thrilled with the experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were fantastic. Plus, the prices were very reasonable. We’ll definitely be returning!

Fantastic restaurant, loved the food

Generous portions and a relaxing atmosphere. Authentic Iranian food. Definitely value for money.

We visited on Friday 27th December needing to get out after the 2 days of Xmas. Booked a table thinking it was Farina, turned up and it’s Dizi now, a Persian restaurant. Now we loved Farina, and after the initial disappointment of it being no more, we settled in to see what was on offer from the new hosts. We ordered 3x starters between the 4 of us, and a main each. Starters - hummus, mashed aubergine and prawns, served with beautiful crisp flatbread - delicious. Mains 2x kebabs, a shishlik and a mousakka, everyone commented how good they were, how beautiful the rice was and how generous the portion sizes; maybe a little too big after the starters, so next time we may mix it up and share mains as well as starters. Finished with a sharing plate of small desserts between all. We had a couple of bottles of a delicious vinho verde for the table and a couple of beers for the guys. In summary: excellent, friendly and knowledgeable service. The restaurant is light and bright. Food quality superb, good self drinks and really good value. We ended up not disappointed that we were not at Farina, and we will definitely visit early in the New Year.

Banging food, good customer service

Excellent food, professional and friendly staff, amazing decor! Make sure you will try Moussaka - this is something special! ♡ We will definitely come back to feel this Persian taste again 😍

First ever time in a Persian restaurant and I was very impressed by the quality and flavour of the food. The restaurant was beautifully decorated too. Will definitely return

Lovely and friendly staff. Amazing food very good service. Lots of different varieties of food to choose. Great quality, affordable. Great place for parties and family gatherings.

Great Persian restaurant, nice food, warm environment, very friendly stuff Highly recommended.

Asked if it's Farina Sutton Coldfield and got the phone put down on me 🤷🏼‍♂️ apparently it's Dizi now but they inherited all the feedback so this is wrong

Yum yum yumm! Great service! Great food and portions! So comfortable! Very good service. We have had dinner here downstairs and upstairs and both menus are fab!! Thank you

Best Persian dizi in Birmingham

“An unforgettable dining experience! This Persian restaurant offers a perfect blend of authentic flavors and warm hospitality. From the tender, perfectly seasoned kebabs to the rich and aromatic stews, every dish is a delight. The saffron rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the fresh herbs added a vibrant touch to the meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with beautiful Persian decor that enhances the overall experience. If you’re looking for a true taste of Persian cuisine, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

It was our second time. This time with full family. Food is freshly prepared. Mr Vahid was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Persian cuisine!!

Great restaurant! Would definitely recommend it

Beautiful food. So tasty. The lamb was so succulent. Fantastic little hidden gem.

Newly refurbished persian restaurant, great food freshly made, fantastic service,

A welcoming vibe with delicious dishes and excellent service highly recommended

Not sure what has happened but the windows at Farina's are covered and the place is being ripped out and i mean stripped out totally. Was in there Sunday 23rd June 24 and we go a lot! 2 weeks later it is closed? 🤔 Anyone knows what's happening please post. One of of the best local restaurants and definitely my favourite, for both food and staff. I'm hoping it's a refurbishment, but think it would say that. So hoping for the best😀, expecting the worst🥺 if best see you soon if worst all the best to Chef and Tab. hope we see you around.

Went for lunch with family few times. The place look very nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful (always smiling). The food is delicious and for the size of portions the price is quite cheap. I consider this restaurant one of the best in Sutton/Boldmere area!!!

I have been here a few times and the food is always excellent. Lots of variety on the menu. Staff are lovely. Food is freshly cooked and high quality. I had the penne with vodka and salmon which was very tasty.

Great meal last night with 6 friends. Food was beautifully cooked and presented and staff very attentive

Ideal place for meeting up with friends/family. Food excellent good choice. Special dietary needs meet without any problems

This place is amazing! Lovely atmosphere, nicely decorated and beautiful music in the background. Fresh food and service is great. Highly recommend

Best restaurant in Sutton Coldfield. More than one visit and never a problem. We both love the food here and keep going back.

Service was fantastic, highly recommend the place .

Went here on 5/4/24 for a pre show meal. After looking at reviews online we decided to try this restaurant. It did not disappoint. The service was great , the food was amazing . Having been to quite a few restaurants this has got to be one of my favourites. Can definitely recommend the minestrone soup and the sea bass. We will definitely be going again very soon !

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

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!!

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!!!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

We had a lovely birthday,and food was delicious.

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

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..

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 .

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
