Hawam Tawa & Grill in Birmingham

Renovation work going on whilst we were in the restaurant, not great for the atmosphere as kids were scared from the loud drilling noises. Kindly the lady who served us did ask the builders to stop. I ordered a T-bone steak but received half a steak. When I told the waiter he came back and assured me it was a full steak. Couldn’t be bothered to argue, but for £18 would expect more than half a t-bone. Rest of the food was below average, kids burgers tasted rubbery and watery and were undercooked. Chicken steak was far too salty. Staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Food was tasteless very very very oily and very salty.. Staff are incapable of listening to simple instructions. The restaurant is really cold. Plates are dirty. Decor is very bad too. Big let down this place.

I ordered a samosa chart from here. It was a collection. I have neven eaten a chart like this. Samosa was dark brown and too much oily, chart just had samosa and chana curry no salad, no yougart, no sauce. I took 3 4 spoons only. Worst food.

Never Ever Try this...👎👎👎 Me and my family got loose motion in the next morning. Had many hygienic issues even before but now this is final and we will never recommend this to anyone.

Love this place for Breakfast. They do really nice Halwa Puri and Chanay. Their other food is also very nice and flavourful Very joyful and king staff members. Always great to go here.

If you want proper desi food tawa , this is the spot . The service is 10/10 also

Definitely recommend. Delicious food and great service.

Booked table for 22 people, arrived and table was ready, order 2 family tawas and some extra chicken tikka, Great Service, food was really nice. Staff was very helpful. Definitely worth the money. I loved the chicken karahi.

Top Quality Food, the tawa for 2 will easily feed 4. Well marinated & cooked. definitely worth a visit...

Came here for a birthday party amazing service from the two ladies mashallah amazing place great workers

Lovely food, stop off whenever we are in Birmingham. Every time we go the staff are very welcoming and the food is by far some of the best about. The chicken tikka is the best i have ever had. The large Tawa is amazing if there is a few of you and you don’t mind sharing.

I had my birthday party at Hawam Tawa and Grill. I dealt with sister Naz who was amazing from the start. Her communication and professionalism are the best. She was very accommodating and went the extra mile to make my birthday perfect. I highly recommend this place, the food is amazing the staff are very good. The place is clean and tidy.

It was nice place service was very good highly recommended will definitely come again.👍

It's a decent place. We ordered the medium size tawa and shared amongst 4 people, the food was okay not bad at all.

visited a few days ago after hearing some very over hyped reviews. all i can say is SAVE. YOUR. MONEY. on arrival, we gave it the benefit of the doubt, that's just on the appearance of the restaurant. We ordered the medium tawa for two people alongside water. the water bottle looked yellow and dirty so it wasn't touched. the tawa consisted of a whole load of fries and rice. i don't know if they used curly fries to be 'different' but this was below the average. the tawa wasn't sizzling like the usually do in other restaurants. the meat karahi had bones in it, which was a big put off in itself. the chicken karahi was semi decent. the shish kebabs were meh. nothing special, nothing different. Oh, the lamb chops were so tough. I was having a battle with it so just ended up leaving it. it was so hard, i could've used it as a frisbee and concussed someone in the process. left us with bad stomachs, and food poisoning. highly do not recommend. save your money, yourself and most importantly your tastebuds!!! Overall, do not go. you have been warned. I have been too many places and this was just not it.

Decent place to eat. The tawa for 2 was huge!!! Nice selection of items included in the Tawa. Service was nice and quick, waiters asked us if we needed anything else and if all was OK. The music/nasheed playing in the background was a nice volume compared to other places where my eardrums are about to explode. So I appreciated the quiet nature of this place. Only thing to improve would be if they could have a way to keep the Tawa warm while we eat. Price was reasonable too. Thank you

Really nice food and good portions We trked tawa and karahi.. everything tastes great

Was absolutely in awe with the quality of food here! You can actually sense the recipe of love in each and every dish we ordered! We had to meet the chef and why not! From the starters to mains and finishing off with a tandoori chaii the food was 10/10! This was our first visit and certainly not the last!! Service from the staff was very hospitable very family friendly. There was four of us and we ordered: small tawa - very generous portion Fish pakoray - omg! Tooo good Chapali kebab- another too good Extra tandoori roti which were extremely tasty, with some butter on just like desi style! Some spring rolls Drinks Tandoori chaii which was served in a small mattaka A must visit!

Nice comfort food. Went out with a friend for a dinner, we took platter for 1 which was perfectly enough for two of us. Good fast service , lovely staff not pushy, giving honest advice about size of the portion, clean place. Unfortunately no parking and the off street was all taken so had to use Morrisons one which is free 2 hrs only. It was good enough tume for us but if you are planning on a lengthy dinner you might want to find different opinion. It is definitely a place to come back to. Edit: So I did. However this time it wasn't that positive experience. Ordered same things plus extra. Food was very average, things on the platter didn't taste too well, unseasoned and gave that leftover food taste. It was cold and felt it was prepared in advance, and you can tell that by the looks and taste of chicken wings if you ever had then next day so this was exactly the same, dry and woody in texture. Samosa chaat good taste but samosa itself had very hard pastry that you can't break with the fork. Children menu peri peri strips looked and tasted very bland. Don't know if that was the reason for my childs sickness the next day. It wasn't nice meal, when I think of it I would say even below average, not a restaurant quality. Not sure if the reason behind it was that they had some bigger bookings for a large group of people and maybe their chef was focusing on the bigger order leaving our food to be prepared by some else what unfortunately reflected on the quality. Unfortunately I won't get going back again there and this is the note for myself to remember this.

Brilliant service food kind poeple

Excellent service. Very well priced and delicious food.The chicken was a little undercooked and they replaced it even after they closed. Highly recommend!

We travelled from MK and took a family from Switzerland to this place! And it did not disappoint! Food was absolutely delicious ! We got the large tawa grill -which feeds 4-5 people and it definitely could have fed 2 more people. Staff were very friendly ! I would highly recommend if you are starving and in the Birmingham area!!

Great food, decent price, chai was amazing. Would recommend 100%, the staff were also very polite

10/10 went today for iftar with my friend delicious food and service highly recommend will be back with whole family next time.

This was the first visit here by an invitation. Restaurant looks ok. Not busy, rather I would say it was quite. We order 2 medium platers, back chops, mutton crrahi and chicken crrahi aditionaly. Chops were good but the rest of the items were average in taste, nothing special. May go again sometime.

A very cosy family friendly atmosphere with great service. A large variety meat/ veg menu available to cater for your taste buds. We ordered the large Tawa which is a novelty...enough variety to satisfy the hunger prangs. The only criticism is that the food could have been a little more warmer. We're from London and don't know of any restaurants that offer Tawa menu, this seems a first. On the whole very tasty food and brilliant atmosphere, very well worth a visit. 😁👌

10/10 so yummy food 😋 thanks so much

Nice spot in acocks green Easy to find Friendly staff Food was average nothing special we felt like it needed more salt and lacked flavour We ordered a tawa and it had the right amount of food for those who eat moderate portions

Best experience and food in birmingham

Amazing food. Ordered 5-6 person tawa. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

HMC Certified. Friendly staff. They accept card payments. There is free parking on the main road outside. The Tawa is overpriced for what you get. They were playing nasheeds instead of music which was nice.

Popped in during our journey back from London. Place looks rather run down, but food was excellent and tasted amazing! Lovely chai to top it all off. Good service.

Great food and service! We always come here when in Birmingham!!

Best Tawa in Birmingham, polite staff, clean environment. Will come again.

Absolutely Rubish... No staff No taste We went there for breakfast. Nobody came to take order for half and hour. I will not recommend for breakfast...

Ordered a home delivery with just eat. Cod fish pakore yummy spot on spices. Chicken biryani is a little hot for me but tastes good. Lamb chops,lamb kebab and wings. Great taste great food.

We ordered tawa for 2 people and it was delicious. Portion was great and we're looking forward to visiting again. We also ordered pink tea and karak chai which were also very nice. We were served by Munir Ahmad and Roopa, they were very friendly and hospitable. The chef also came out to greet us. She was humble and easy to have a chat with.

A birthday meal the food was amazing also hmc meat

Food was not cooked very well. The marinade was still raw on the starters. Service was rubbish had to keep asking for drinks and poppadoms or the lassi. Atmosphere was loud and workers running around all over the place. The tawa did not sit well on the table.

The food is awesome. The Tawa grill was enough to feed our family of 8. The price was perfect and the service was great although slow the brothers tried their best. They even have a prayer room upstairs may Allah bless them.

Masha Allah, the food is very testy and delicious and thank you very much to Munir for appreciating it

It was a 2nd time i visited the place. First time food was amazing. That's the reason I've got back. But today i wasn't happy at all. Seemed like a different chef. Food was way too salty and too spicy. And a taste on all mixed meet (tawa), was the same.

The food was very delicouse and the staff especially Munir wes the best person, I really like his personality. Thanks alot❤️❤️

Great tawa dish 👌 friendly staff quick service

Tasty food, polite stuff, quite atmosphere

Amazing is an understatement, heard about this restaurant from friends and after seeing their reviews we definitely had to visit, we visited the 10 of us, had a very warm welcome and we were seated, we ordered some starters And the mains, the reason for our visit was to try out the Tawa and I shall say it was the best tawa I have ever had in The UK, Staff was amazing nice small family business, and what blew my mind was it was mainly run by ladies majority of the staff are ladies and the head chef aswell is a lady, Hat’s off to all the ladies working very hard and good to see a change in our society definitely a role model for all the ladies out there. 👏👏👏I definitely recommend everyone to visit HAWAM TAWA & GRILL and trying them atlist once I promise u will never go anywhere else do definitely try the Special TANDOORI CHAII

We are locals in Acocks Green, and have gone to several difficult restaurants here. We can confidently say, in terms of overall taste, services, and value for money this restaurant is our number 1 so far. We ordered a tawa for one person because we weren’t that hungry, but oh boy the portion was so generous, such that we have to pack some home! Special mentioning to our waitress Rupa who’s so kind in her service to us—will definitely be returning back!

One of the best Tawa places in Birmingham, food was on point service was great very friendly people and portion sizes were very good thank you once again 😊

Had a very pleasant experience. Clean establishment with great service from staff. The ladies front of house were helpful and I got the feeling that it's a family run restaurant. I ordered a regular tawa and it was very nice.good portions for 2 people, the spice level was perfect as we chose medium. It was well cooked and the flavours were good. I think my only issue is that the lamb chops were a little charred and the lamb and chicken curry needed more masala to accompany the meat. Other than that, everything else was lovely. I would visit again, hopefully taking the family and would certainly recommend others to try. The chef and the majority of the staff were all women, which is a refreshing change in this industry, so many thanks to all of them for their efforts. The price was a little more that what is use to be, but this is generally the trend for many restaurants now. I would say it's competitive to others. I hope to visit again. We did visit again, and the food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. Especially the prawn Puri, but I do wish, there were more of the prawns. Always love coming here!

The staff were lovely. The food was nice. We got 2 medium tavas, and the portion was decent for 3-4 people. We got one spicy and the other medium. The spicy one was the perfect spice.. Medium was more like a mild with a little kick. So I would definitely go for the spicy again.

Food is nice and prices are abit above average but quality of food makes up for this but drinks prices and ridiculous

My first visit, & i feel confident for my next time I picked up Bhindi Masala & Tandori Roti for takeaway, and had tandoori tea while waiting, i was well pleased at this hidden gem with great cooks and friendly staff, Food with good portion and reasonable deals, and takeaway was well packed and pleasant add ons, The place has great indoor & sheltered outdoor lounges.

Food is amazing hear and so is the costumer service. I have been 2 times already and will definitely come again.

We had the large Tawa it was Delicious very fresh and made the whole dinning experience a delightful one...the Staff were genuinely approachable and friendly and made sure we enjoyed our experience....I do recommend to go and Dine its worth the money spent and very clean inside.. 😁

I had the experience of going to hawam for the first time last week. I ordered the tawa for 3 to 4 people and I still had leftover ls despite there being five of us! So portion wise you getting so much for what you're paying. Food was cooked to perfection. I always have a problem when restaurants give lamb chops but the meat is always chewy and hard however these guys at hawam cooked them perfectly the meat was literally falling off the bones! Only thing for next time is I'm going to ask for no spice as I asked for mild but it was still too spicy for me, but other than that the food was amazing. As for the service,it was top notch, I forgot to ask the name of the person who was at the front of the house but she was an absolutely kind and wonderful lady and created such a lovely atmosphere! Definitely going to visit again! Thanks you guys for the excellent service!

Had a group booking for a birthday party. The food was full of flavour, fresh, and had great portion sizes. I will definitely be returning to this establishment. Thank you!

Amazing food.we were 10 of us ordered one large and one medium tawa. It was absolutely amazing. Come for the first time today but a place to come again

Great food and very helpful and friendly service

Proper home cooked food, even after eating a mountain of food, did feel bloated in the slightest. Amazing. Well done

If I could give less stars I would, took 5 minutes for a staff member to get to the reception desk, the guy taking the order had an attitude kept sighing after a simple request while whispering under his breath like a little gangster after I replied to his question and he did not listen he began to start dropping snidely comments guy needs to watch himself seriously , place was empty only one staff member who once again thinks that god owes him a favour or something, ended up leaving after dealing with his attitude, would not recommend to anyone, place looked run down as well hardly any people. I don’t ever take time to do reviews but this one was definitely needed

I was recommend this restaurant by wife. You were few days here with her friends. Today I went with my Brother place need update where we sit. Otherwise no complaints. Food was good. Service was good.

Great service and food was delicious the platter for 3

THE GREATEST RESTAURANT EVER THE GREATEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER !!!! As a Tipu Sultan Lover this is one of those restaurants with the same freshness, great taste, great portions, great sauces. I ordered the £50 Deal and it was worth every penny. Thank you

Food was really good, had the family tawa. The lamb karahi was real tasty. I think maybe decor needs updating and bit of dusting and polishing would make it a comfortable dine in experience.

Recently, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Hawam Tawa & Grill, a restaurant that came highly recommended. We arrived an hour before closing and were pleasantly surprised to find the place nearly empty, with ample seating available. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Our main purpose for visiting was to sample their renowned Tawa Grill, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight. This sizzling creation had everything we could have dreamed of, all beautifully cooked on their tawa. From succulent chicken karahi and lamb karahi to tantalizing lamb chops, chicken tikka, lamb kebab, and even curly fries, this tawa had it all. It was like a culinary adventure on a single platter. The addition of a mix of naan and rotis, along with a touch of rice, completed this mouthwatering ensemble. The portion size was beyond generous and easily satisfied the appetites of our family of four. Although the Tawa Grill stole the show, we also indulged in some irresistible extras. The chicken pakoras were skillfully battered and bursting with flavor, providing a perfect start to our meal. The crispy pappadoms added a delightful crunch, and the jug of mango lassi, with its creamy and thick consistency, was the ultimate refreshing companion to our feast. What truly made our experience memorable, however, was the exceptional service provided by both the staff and the owner. Their warm and friendly demeanor made us feel like valued guests, and their attentiveness throughout the meal was commendable. It's not often that you come across such genuine hospitality. Would I visit Hawam Tawa & Grill again? Most definitely! This hidden gem has won me over with its scrumptious Tawa Grill and top-notch service. If you're in search of a fulfilling and satisfying meal for your family, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Hawam Tawa & Grill is a culinary haven that deserves all the praise it receives.

Ma sha allah brilliant service, talking to the staff! Very help, tea is the best!! Has a special swist!! I wil be returning again!

A very nice family run restaurant. Great service, great prices and the food was top notch mashallah. The tawa medium was huge mashallah. Easily feeds 6 people. Bindhi masala was cooked very well....sign of a good chef who can cook vegetables well. Mixed grill and particularly the wings and chips were very tasty. Great evening out. Tea was great.

Mainly pre cooked food on the tawa menu, would prefer more freshly cooked grilled items where it supposed to be grilled. Over priced Tea in a matca cup.

The food no doubt is very delicious and staff working here is very cooperative, it’s a restaurant with a standard level. Lots of options like special Tawas, desserts, kid’s meal and special drinks in which there’s included a special tea called the Tandoori Chai which cannot be missed after eating the delicious food of HAWAM. Just waiting for the morning breakfast which is no more far to be started on weekends.

Food was great, very tasty and flavoursome. Waitress was very polite and service was very quick. Definitely coming back

Rice was old and stale Chicken was dry

One of the best tawa places in Birmingham, went for my sisters birthday service was amazing served 20 people without any problems. Would definitely recommend

Great service really enjoyed the food Will definitely visit again

Food is on point Been here three times and the staff never fail to impress Highly recommended Thank you Hawam for yet another wonderful experience

After a second visit to Hawam the food was absolutely amazing, we ordered the Tawa which contained a variety of delicious curries, rice, lamb chops and chicken tikka. The staff couldn’t be more helpful, finally the tea served in a matka was delicious. High recommended

The food and service is brilliant. 10/10

Food was excellent staff owner very friendly Cooking is east African Asian type spices and very tasty. Recommend anyone who likes east African Asian food to try here.

A very good Asian restaurant, spicy and good value for money. You get more than what you paid for!

Came with family, seated straight away. However they weren't ready for customers even though we arrived an hour after opening. Food arrived fairly quickly. Steak was unique, small different taste but was well done. The tawa wasnt all that very basic curry and starters in there. Overall i expected more for my money, flavours werent there and definitely no spice.

First visit to hawam tawa & grill. Can't recommend it enough.. Service was fast and friendly. Food was very tasty and good sized portions... prices are fair too... overall excellent place to eat... Will definitely visit again...

One of our favourite places. Good food and good price. Recommend the medium tawa. Good enough for about 4 people. Perhaps 6 if you have small kids. Staff here always go out thier way. Love the atmosphere.

Not the best experience. We were the only ones there, but went ahead and tried the food. Was around 3pm. The food arrived, salad was old n soggy, food was not the best. Nothing special. Wouldn’t go again. Lacked flavour and spice. Poor customer service. And toilets were soo bad. Seems like only part of the restaurant was refurbished. Rest was old n dirty. Didn’t enjoy the experience. Had to get up twice to look for somebody.

Tasty food, large portion size (tawa special), delicious lamb chops, highly recommend, fast service, clean and v friendly staff!

well hygiene and friendly staff

Best tawa grill in birmingham and service is sooo friendly and welcoming and food is sooo delicious

Amazing food and customer service, the best tawas around with proper Pakistani tea to finish the meal. A really family friendly place which doesn’t disappoint time after time!

Beautiful food and staff was wonderful, nice family place will definitely be going back.

5 star very nice top quality food, between 7 of us it’s been voted best tea we’ve all had, but more then all was the service very nice people very family friendly place will definitely be coming back again thank you to all the staff

Food and service where both excellent staff went above and beyond. The staff where polite and took care of us and made everything was perfect for us.

Amazing food with amazing service... go out their way to make your exprencie amazing 👏 ✨️

Tasty quality food with economical prices and very polite staff. Went with a party of 10 and all of them loved the food. Definitely recommend this place .

Deeéelicious! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Had the tawa to share, really nice selection, the lamb curry was absolutely amazing. If you want to open your fast with family and friends, complimentary dates, oranges and water on the table are ready. They even have a prayer area, for when you open your fast in Ramadan you can offer magrib Salah. I will definitely visit again.

Love the food every time! We’ve recommended Hawam to family and friends and everyone has loved it!

we came all the way from stoke on trent. during ramadhan any food place is busy but this place food was spectacular. How very organised they were during iftaar. Also the ladies came around make sure everything was up to scratch or any drinks. highly reccomended many thanks.

Had my iftar twice at this amazing place and they didn’t disappoint. Great team. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

Excellent service! We went today for iftari. My mum hates going out usually as she wears the niqaab and doesn't feel comfortable. But she really liked this restaurant! Family friendly. Lovely waiters! Each one had a lovely smile and made sure we got everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious! I was worried it wouldn't taste desi but it had just the right spices! We ordered the Medium Tawa and it was more than enough for the 5 of us. We also ordered the gajar halwa, cookie dough and the tandoori chai. Everything was brilliant. We will be sure to come back! Thankyou so much guys. My mums really happy today :) x

The food was not of the best quality certainly the meat curry’s as it gave my whole family a bad stomach. The staff were rude and for £70 the tava was a rip off would not recommend at all.

Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend this especially In Ramadan. take my advice and save your money.

The starter was nice. The mains were really nice. The daal was not nice. The service was not good, really slow. They need more staff. For a busy day management should have planned and have more staff on. Ordered tea after food. No sign of it after half an hour. Decided to leave the tea. However the staff were polite and friendly.

Food was really nice and flavourfull,
