Karibunis Restaurant at Bournville College in Birmingham

Having been here a few times before I wasn’t expecting anything sensational but it was truly an excellent experience. Our waitress, Charlotte, was attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. She made the dining experience a pleasure. The starters were well received by everyone and mussels In filo were very tasty. The main courses of lamb or salmon were perfectly cooked and extremely well presented. The final course - trio of puddings were superb. Our thanks to all the student chefs and waiting staff - we congratulate you all. Highly recommended

What a fantastic evening we had the food was fabulous and the atmosphere was great. We were very much look after and I highly recommend a visit. Thank you all.

Fine dining to a surprisingly high standard with excellent service at a very attractive price. What’s not to like.

I have eaten in many top restaurants and this one is right up there with the best Outstanding service modern delicious food

I've tried several times to get information about opening times and tried to book a table but they never answer the phone and the online site simply doesn't work. Frustrating and annoying. Do they actually exist? I have tried to visit but I can't get ANY information or response.

A wonderful restaurant full of talented and enthusiastic students. The food and service is absolutely brilliant, and much better than many establishments you’ll find in the city centre. The variety and presentation of the dishes is fantastic - and there are always lovely little surprises in between courses to look forward to! Alongside the food the bar staff always have a “Cocktail of the Day” on offer. Both myself and my family cannot recommenced Karibunis enough!

My first visit of the new accademic year and a great start. Excellently presented food by young and enthusiastic staff at great value for money. Glad to say that I am already booked in for a December visit.

My second visit and if the first was good then the second was excellent. We went for the special Italian themed evening and a truly fantastic meal was served up by the students. From being welcomed with a glass of Prosecco at the door to leaving after a sumptuous taste of Italy nothing could have been better. The only thing that puzzles me is just how few people seem to have cottoned on to this restaurant. It may well be an early evening within a catering college but how much is being missed you will not know until you try it. I'm already looking forward to a planned February visit with relish.

Visited with a group of all male friends and everyone of us was impressed with the excellent quality of the food. This is the showcase for the training section of Bourneville College and being early in the season we made allowances for the service at the table by young people learning their trade but absolutely no need to make any allowances for the meal itself. It was excellent! Even so everything was served with a smile and a willingness to oblige. What more can one ask. A thoroughly good evening out started with a welcoming glass of wine and cloakroom service. An included appetizer of a Cauliflower Risotto preceded a small but varied selection of high quality dishes with four starters and four mains. I had the Smoked Salmon starter and Lamb Rump for main. We then all had a trio of deserts followed by Coffee and Petit Fours. Hard to class it as "Cheap Eats" because the quality of the meal just would not deserve such a lowly description, it was certainly top end dining, but at £17.50 all in excluding additional drinks it represented exceptional value for money so was not even "Mid Range" in my books and is well worthy of a visit. I will certainly be going again.
