Ladana Cafe in Birmingham

It's really unfortunate they don't offer any free tap water in this place. Made it hard to wash down their food which was very basic and nothing special. Calamari was too salty, was expecting rings not bites and I couldn't finish it. The breakfast had too many hash browns (cheap ingredient to fill customers), the scrambled eggs was also cold. The decor is very overdone too, but might be appealing to some people. Won't be coming here again, id recommend Early Bird Bakery in Kings Heath instead.

We always visit during our holiday break to Birmingham. We love it, the food is delicious and the service is first class. On our last visit with the kids we had an accident with our daughter’s drink and the staff were so quick to move us to another table seamlessly bringing our food and drinks over. Well done to you guys.

We came on new years day it was absolutely busy we thought of going back home but mini reassured us that we will get a table in ten mins then we was worried that the food will be cold as it was so busy but the food was amazing and fresh and hot, if we needed something mini was there and she took real care of us as always we come to ladana alwayz because of the food and the amazing service mini provides thank you always we need more people like mini in restaurants full of energy and smiles! Also the orange juice and the shakshouka was amazing

Came down from Scotland to try this and it was great! Excellent food and the service was amazing by Mini! Loved it, 10/10 recommend!

An amazing brunch place with delicious food and very friendly staff. Went there for my 21st birthday. Thank you to Megan for making my 21st birthday so special with a sparkler on ice cream 😊 and for singing happy birthday with the rest of the staff 💖

Lovely food, love drinks, met a lovely lady called mini who served and took care of us will deffo be coming again especially after her amazing care and making sure everything was okay. Thank you mini and lovely food

Absolutely love coming here, the place is not Ladanas without Miny, She’s always providing great service with a smile. Absolutely love coming here not only is the food up to standard with the chef waiter but Miny always makes sure the service is 100. Thank you !!!!!

First time coming to ladana as my daughter always goes on about it. Amazing service from minny. Thank you so much. Amazing food

The restaurant was very busy had a great atmosphere. We went at 12pm then came back at 3pm as the que was quite long but definitely worth the wait. The food was delicious, don't know what bread they used but it was so soft at fluffy. The Nutella hot chocolate was the best we've ever had. Sausages were delicious and values for money. The staff were very friendly and checked on us regularly to make sure everything was OK, they also gave us a prayer space. We'll definitely come back on our next visit to Birmingham. Thank you

Went for breakfast with my nephew. First time going here. Great atmosphere. Friendly and smiley staff! Really quick and great service. Everything was clean and tidy. The food was delicious! We had the club sandwich, Full English breakfast, Nutella hot chocolate, omelette with mince meat. We ordered some yummy pasta for take out too and it was all made very quickly and fresh. Everything was delicious.

French toast and coffee is great - love the decor and atmosphere. nice for a catchup with friends too :)

Good food reasonably priced. Nice decor. Parking is very difficult however. Service reasonable.

Staff are amazing food incredible

I’ve been to Ladana Cafe three times in just two weeks, and it’s safe to say I’m hooked! The prices are unbeatable, making it an affordable yet luxurious dining experience. The ambience is clean, boujee, and super cosy—especially with their heaters during winter. The staff? Absolutely wonderful. They’re warm, attentive, and always make you feel welcome. A special shoutout to Ilyas, who’s not only friendly and funny but also goes the extra mile to make sure your dining experience is perfect (his drink recommendations were spot on!). As for the food, I’ve tried quite a variety—French toast, shakshuka, tuna toastie, and my absolute favorite: the fish finger burger paired with crispy fries. Their Karak chai is a must-try, and even their mocktails impressed me. Despite ordering multiple dishes and drinks, my bill has never exceeded £30, which is incredible for the quality and portions. The restaurant is spotless, including the female restrooms, and though they offer shisha, I’ve never had any issues as a non-smoker. Whether you’re in for breakfast, lunch, or just a chill spot, Ladana Cafe will have you coming back for more. Don’t wait—treat yourself to this gem!

Rumel , good man very helpful..

10/10 honestly, the customer service and food was superb. I don’t even write reviews but this place deserves its accolades. I went for brunch with my partner and will certainly be back for more brunches and dinner here at some point. Only downside was parking but due to the nature of the location it is totally understandable and worth the walk lol

I would recomend the french toast. The staff were very friendly and it was chill. I give it a five star.

Wasn’t sure as it looks like a restaurant but I was happily surprised as they do takeouts ☺️ very nice milkshakes

Came here with my sister in law for brunch. It was my first time but I will definitely be coming back. The food was so delicious, I ordered the club sandwich first 10/10 and then had the french toast with fresh fruits and syrup. My sil got the same thing. The atmosphere was lovely, they played some great music and I liked how efficient the service was. Also I want to shout out the staff member who helped us take some photos before we left, I can’t remember his name but he was lovely.

Fantastic place to eat food was 10/10

I was served by a lovely guy called Ylias I think, He is Italian he was lovely funny enough I was dinning solo and he definitely made me feel like I had company. Food was delicious , perfect temperature, the avocado 10/10 a must try overall such a good experience and the vibes are great in there will definitely be coming back again.

Really beautiful environment and food, accompanied by excellent customer service by saf! Definitely would recommend!!

Iliyas and Saf did a very good job serving us, excellent service! The best of the best these 2!

French toast were excellent but shockingly they refuse tap water to customers!! It is basic courtesy for a food place that cares about their customers to provide tap water with food. I won't be returning to a place that prioritize profit over basic customer service!

I ordered afternoon tea and must say everything was 10/10 especially the service was exceptional! Mini was amazing she went above and beyond and made everything perfect! The attention to detail was on point. I only ordered the afternoon tea again due to Mini’s service and will definitely be ordering again! The food, packaging and amount was so worth it. Mini made the whole experience so smooth and exceeded my expectations she absolutely smashed it. Definitely recommend!!

Food is really good but the menu is ridiculous… am I reading a script? Why is it a bunch of paper stapled together? In general using paper for a restaurant is unhygienic and musty. I thought I was the only one that thought this until I spoke to people about how good ladana is until we all shared our disgust for the menu in union !! Oh by the way service is really good too.

7/10 *Great, but not AMAZING* - Visited on a Sunday 10am. I had visited around a year prior, this was my second visit. Cleanliness, quality of food & price all were fantastic. We ordered 2x Avocado Breakfasts. 1x Orange Juice & 1x Karak Tea. Our bill total was ~£30, very reasonable. **KARAK Tea is a MUST** best tea i’ve had in a while. Feedback - House omelette was far too ‘cheesy’ had more of a stringy consistency than what you’d expect from an omelette. Service - Could have been a bit more attentive and asked how the meal was. Although the waiter tried to replace my omelette, he was unable to offer me this. No issues - I still left happy & willing to return. I recommend this establishment.

Came down to ladana café. amazing service and food. best shisha. best drinks . best people was amar and udai they deserve it i will defiantly come back soon Inshallah.

UDAY makes the best shisha Always look for him

Not happy at all with this cafe we ordered on uber eats club sandwiches with Arabic bread but they sent the order with normal white bread. I have rung them up and asked why you sent my order with normal white bread, first she said I don't know second she said we can't make club sandwich with Arabic bread. My question is if you don't bother what the customers want then why you give customers all the fake options Lastly If you don't have what the customer asked for or can't make with Arabic bread, then you should give a call to the customer and ask them what they want to do.

Decent food but the staff are in too much of a rush to remain attentive to the tables. Good selection of foods especially breakfast.

Great food, great portion size, great price , outstanding customer service, the only letdown is that they don't give tap water.

Great food and great service, Ladana never disappoints. Always a pleasure to see the manager Megan who is so welcoming and goes above and beyond! They cater for gluten free too which is fantastic.

Amazing experience and customer service especially from Uday. The man deserves a pay rise!!!

Great service from Uday, quality food and atmosphere

Great place. Uday was great, very helpful, very attentive and made sure we felt comfortable. He was also very polite and had a laugh with the boys as well, great guy.

Have been a regular customer at Ladana for yearand every time I come in it never fails to amaze me. No matter how busy it is the service is always 100% on point. Good food, good sheesha and mini is the most attentive and welcoming member of staff. Never fails to amaze me by going above and beyond. Would 100% recommend this place.

Came this morning was greeted so well by a gentlemen at the front and the service just got better we was a group of 5 with 2 babies, waiter was so good was recommending dishes for us. food came out piping hot drinks were amazing full of flavour the lady manager never got her name was so lovely kept asking if we needed anything else and having a conversation with the little ones at the same time she even cleared our table took all the plates once we were finished, which was a bit of a surprise as there were staff around but no Job seems to be Small or Big to this lady she was wiping down tables ! Hats off to the owner to have managers that are hands on. Will surely be coming back great service.

Not a bad choice but no real spicy or desi options.

Frensh toast with Nutella and Karak tea is the best

Good customer service from Troy, enjoyed the shisha and food. Friendly service although I was on my own. Was very picky on my shisha flavours but uday accommodated to the way I like it done. Would definitely recommend and come back

Great breakfast and impeccable service

Had a lovely time and the food was really nice. I'll recommend friends and family.

Konafa with cheese was amazing. It was just the right proportions. The place was warm and cosy.

It's so beautiful and clean, the service is great,

Really nice staff! Helped me with Jummah times, theres a masjid literally 4 mins walk away! Food was good portions too and the place has a really nice atmosphere #brunchdates

Good food, friendly staff and reasonably priced

Though there was a wait to be seated and served owing to it's popularity and the venue was quite cold at times due to various door openings, the experience was a good first one and I would return and recommend. There is a diverse range of staff and customers which was lovely to see and dividers in each part of the seating area, assumingly since COVID which was also nice and enabled some level of privacy.

Comida sabrosa, las salchichas de cordero y los rashers de pavo son divinos y no sabe a carne barata procesada como la mayoría de ellos suele hacer. Eliminaron artículos y agregaron artículos sin problemas con facilidad, algunos con cargo incurrido. Lo único decepcionante es que el servicio para sentar a las familias grandes les llevó mucho tiempo ya que llegamos a las 10 am con un café bastante vacío, y tuvimos que esperar 10 minutos para sentarnos. La llegada de la comida no es larga e incluso sus bebidas calientes saben muy bien, especialmente el latte de pistacho español. Volverá cuando quieras un giro desi en la comida tradicional

Amazing!! Amazing!! Amazing!! I’ll start there lol myself + mother had our breakfast date at Ladana Cafe and honestly all service, food & atmosphere was top tier. Staff Professionalism 10/10. Our boss lady Maggie you’ll be remembered as the one that cannot be forgotten such an amazing soul. Mashallah 💙 #highlyrecommend!!!

Ladana never fails to host its customers with full care and attention, all staff are respectful and professional , each staff take care of their customers with mannerism and care . I was hosting a private dinner for my girls and Mini was ever so helpful along with the gentleman who helped me set up and kept me company while I waited for my girls to arrive . Their hospitality is always on point and everyone is lovely to talk to .

This place gets super busy - we arrived around 2 on a Sunday and had to queue outside for a bit. It was surely worth it though as the service and food was amazing. I had the shakshuka and it was amazing, a bit spicy but not over the top. The bread that came with it was very tasty and fresh! Make sure to try their desi tea as it's next level!! After 4pm they also do shisha, with different flavours to choose from.

We came into Ladana for breakfast, and I can tell you both the customer service and food has been amazing. I would like to thank Asha for her great hospitality and service she provided to me and my mother. She was beyond happy with the service and said there needs to be more caring, compassionate employees like Asha in this day and age. Was really happy Alhamdulilah, thank you Asha and the Ladana team ones again!

Food was delicious and came quick, atmosphere was good as music was not too loud and tables were spaced out.

Overall the experience was lovely. Food was good but cafe became very busy once we were seated and it was cold (although they did turn the heating on). The French toast was good but the Arabian breakfast was mid. Service was excellent.

Went there for a Saturday morning brunch with a friend. The food was good and presentation was excellent. The French toast was just right and not too overwhelming with the seasoning. The croissant and egg was also fab .. no complaint. The atmosphere was nice with low music in the background. It was a bit chilly so they turned on the heating which made us more comfortable. The service was nice and the staff were smiley and friendly. Reading the previous comments I can see they have improved on some of the things previous mentioned. Would deffo come again.

Exellent service. Exellent food

Coffee is extremely poor quality no taste of coffee just a bit of milk in water.

Amazing breakfast, outstanding customer service, value for money

Joined some friends for brunch around 11am on a Friday morning and it was so busy! However the service was still very good and not compromised by the number of people in the restaurant. We ordered 2 English breakfasts and a Ladana Benedict. Everything was tasty except the turkey rashers - if they're not cooked well/crispy they just taste meaty. The Pistachio Iced Spanish latte was amazing! The best iced drink I've ever tasted. Totally recommend.

Staff so kind! we love Shukri! she’s the sweetest and really brings good vibes to this place! what a darling. I am coming back just for Shukri x

I visit this café regularly for breakfast, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The customer service is exceptional – the staff are always friendly. The manager (I’ve unfortunately forgotten her name) is absolutely lovely and goes out of her way to ensure every customer has a great experience. It’s one of those places you can always count on for quality food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend.

The best breakfast spot in town! The service is outstanding, and a special thanks to Mini for always taking such great care of us. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect and that we have an amazing experience every time. Thank you, Mini!

Can’t recommend this place enough !!!!! It’s not just the food that makes it but also the staff especially Mini. SHES THE REAL MVP!!! she’s so bubbly and welcoming and always makes sure customers are happy and greets with a smile . Shes the reason ladana is how it is mashallah .

only got the french toast but it was very good! would’ve gotten more but it was so filling but presentation was amazing. i went on a quiet day so it was much better than the usual rush. the mock tails are always my fave. i’d recommend the pomegranate one 🙂‍↔️

Group of 3. Lovely breakfasts. Had karak chai which was delicious too! Good customer service, lovely vibes. Nice restaurant. Will definitely be back. Good value for money too.

Had a great time! Lovely food, brilliant service, food came really quickly. Staff were amazing, Staff member Saf made our experience really good and enjoyable. A*******!! Will be coming again

Food and ambience was amazing. Love the interior and the staff were absolutely amazing. Went for the breakfast and was not disappointed. The French toast was delicious and food was yummy. Would definitely try the desi tea as it is really nice. Will be visiting again soon and make this a regular food spot.

Mashallah best breakfast place in brum so far.

Amazing service, the food came soo quickly within 5mins. It was nice and hot and delicious, quality ingredients! Thank you We ordered the English breakfast & Mousakka, both very tasty, the sausages were really flavourful and juicy!

Visited after years due to bad experiences. We were pleasantly surprised! There was a group of 14 of us, despite it being busy we were seated within 5/10 mins. Our food arrived really quick considering there was so many of us it came out within 15minutes. The waiter was attentive. The food was absolutely amazing, as where the drinks, could not fault a thing! Deffo will be back again

No professional staff, customer service very poor, no bother to ask customer anything, they are serving dessert first before main food.

Very special place when coming to Birmingham! Aesthetically great! Food amazing! Staff great! Must visit

Yesterday i had the pleasure of visiting Ladana Cafe, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the outstanding hospitality provided by Sharif. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere immediately felt inviting and cozy. Sharif’s dedication to providing top-tier service is evident in every aspect of the cafe. His warm and friendly demeanor, combined with a genuine passion for hospitality, made me feel not just like a customer but like a valued guest. He went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, offering personalized recommendations and ensuring that my experience was perfect in every way. The attention to detail at Ladana Cafe is truly impressive. The ambiance is charming and thoughtfully designed, creating a space where you can relax and enjoy your time. The menu offered a delightful array of choices, and each dish was prepared with care and quality ingredients. Sharif’s knowledge of the menu and his enthusiasm for the offerings added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit.

Tried the full English breakfast and it was amazing! Only thing I didn’t like was the mushrooms but if you think you won’t like them definitely ask for them not to put any on your plate but other than that, it was nice overall.

First time here today absolutely amazing 🤩 We we're greated upon arrival and sat in a waiting area for a table. Minutes later we we're greated by a lady that I think was a manager. She was absolutely brilliant from the get go we mentioned it was my daughter's birthday and they were willing to go above and beyond to make it special for her. Our waiter was Saf, he was absolutely flawless with his service and looked after us the entire time. Alot more to say but I wouldn't stop. Please try this little hidden gem. Absolutely well worth it great value for money and food is spectacular! Thanks team Ladana ! Youade our visit very memorable and we'll be coming back to see you soon 😁

Saf is a credit to Ladana! Served us for Ezmae’s Birthday, and made it extra special! Food is beautiful and atmosphere is great! Will be back soon!

Food was okay, but very cramped. 3 people on one tiny table. Felt like a pack of sardines. Focus on customer experience not just turnover.

My number1 go to shisha lounge in the UK hands down. The shisha’s amazing very high tech and doesn’t burn. Staff are amazing knowledgeable of the menu and very friendly. The food’s great and the presentation’s on point. Management’s amazing too I noticed on one of my visits that the manager (female with a blazer on I really hope she reads this) called her team the dream team and wished members of staff a good evening as her shift ended and made her way out waving at them, what a positive work environment. Keep up the good work I should end this review with saying I love you guys you rock! A final big shoutout to the shisha guys (wish I knew their names will probably ask next time I’m here) one burns his lungs to start my shisha and when I get picky with the drag he fixes the shisha for me promptly and the other one who is very talented and hands down makes the best shishas and checks in regularly.

Great food and drinks, i was treated with respect and care. I will definitely return here

Very good spot for a not too heavy brunch. Taste was good.

Visiting birmingham and was recommended this place by a friend. After a quick google search, from pictures we thought to try it out. Unfortunately was a disappointment from the first minute. The cafe has no parking and when you ask the waiters where's safe from the traffic warden to park, they have no idea. We ordered the Full English Breakfast, Eggs royale and a fresh orange juice. English breakfast was poor with overdone eggs, undercooked (or even uncooked) turkey bacon and lack of any flavour or quality ingredients to make it stand out at all from the much cheaper places on the same road. Eggs royale had uncooked egg whites, some strange potato chip/crisps and untoasted english muffins and the orange juice had been watered down to a point where it pretty much just tasted like water. But the bad experience didn't end there. Halfway through our meal a waiter approaches and confiscates our water bottles. When questioned why? he couldn't give me us a reason and all he would say is your not allowed to bring your own drinks! Firstly, it was water, not a drink, and secondly i have never been to any establishment ever in my life, where im not allowed to drink from my own water bottle!! This was shocking and at this point we decided to leave. I could tell this was done on the instruction of the manager sat behind the bar twiddling his thumbs doing nothing to ensure his customers are happy and satisfied with their visit. Even as he took payment for the meal with a miserable face, he couldn't even be bothered to ask if we were happy with the food and service.

Shaz was very welcoming and kind! Lovely staff.

I’ve come here a few times for brunch and they never disappoint!

I gave 4 stars only because everything was superb except the real dirty and tatty menus. What a shame everything is perfect but the menus were in a horrible state. Come on guys pull it together. Those paper placemat type menus are fantastic maybe consider those.

Good food for the price, the juices are very good. The pistachio latte was too much sugar but it was ok. Could be more kids friendly (providing highchair and drawing as activities for kids).

Small details deserve more careful attention. It doesn't matter how nice a place looks if there are 6 employees chatting downstairs and the bathroom is in poor condition.

Foods always good, would recommend the milkshakes. Iced latte was very disappointing as it had no taste.

Restaurant was pristine and bright. Service was quick and friendly. The Arabic Breakfast was spectacular and would fully recommend! Would come again.

Beautiful interior and atmosphere. Service was great. Friendly staff and always ready, the Spanish pistachio iced latte was delicious. Will be back for that definitely recommend. Found the breakfast very boring and basic. No spice or flavour to it really quite bland.

Friday staff and quick to bring food . We went for breakfast and we were enjoyed, Although we waited 20-30 minutes to get table. Difficult to find parking.

Great place to check out with family and friends, great food and atmosphere and the staff is amazing! So helpful and kind!! Wesam was serving us and he was very helpful!

The breakfast was delicious 10/10.

Food was great and came within a reasonable time. Issues on the day due the recent IT outage made the wait a little longer. Would recommend.

Great food great service best French toast in Birmingham

Astonishingly horrible staff. Have come multiple times and experienced the same disgusting treatment multiple times. The staff member with the braids in his hair particularly disrespectful. Would highly avoid this place simply due to staffing issues.

Overpriced outdated decor beans was cold

Las colas fuera de este lugar cuando llegamos un domingo por la tarde establecieron mis expectativas (altas! ). La cola se movió relativamente rápido, y nos sentamos más pronto que la mayoría, ya que dijimos que no nos importaba estar en la zona del patio. En retrospectiva, me alegro de que nos conformáramos con la zona del patio, ya que la cafetería en sí es un poco aburrida y fría por dentro. Me sorprendieron los menús (trozos de papel grapados juntos, parecía que habían sido escritos en Microsoft Word) ; y tuvimos que pedir más de un menú para una mesa de cinco. Pedimos tés, cafés y zumos, y una variedad de opciones de desayuno y brunch. La comida en realidad llegó antes de lo que esperaba, y mi Huevos Benedict era muy sabroso. La salsa holandesa era buena, y el tocino de pavo era simplemente divino! También un café encantador. La única razón por la que he marcado este lugar es por el ambiente y el servicio. Puedo ver por qué son populares, particularmente entre la comunidad del sur de Asia, ya que sus opciones de desayuno halal realmente saben bien. Pero falta hospitalidad. Es solo un servicio descuidado, camareros confundidos, y pequeñas cosas como menús horribles y un ambiente aburrido en el interior derriba este lugar. No creo que volvería a ir simplemente porque no disfruté del servicio.

Unfortunately due to a glitch in the system we waited 40 minutes for our food which had not arrived. However once we informed staff, Megan, I think she is the manager, delt with it swiftly ensuring our food was made, apologised genuinely and offered us free drinks or dessert for the inconvenience. She also checked up on us to make sure we were happy. Her service was impeccable. We left happy and enjoyed the food.

Had such a good time this afternoon. Food was incredible the breakfasts were so good and great portion sizing. Staff were incredible friendly, especially Megan who gave us her recommendations for drinks (Spanish latte was so good!!) Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be back again!
