Lisa & Pann's Kitchen in Birmingham

Coming from a part Malaysian background it has been good to find a restaurant nearby which serves authentic Malaysian food.

Fantastic good. Great customer service. Definitely my go-to for good Malaysian food! Lisa and Pann are the best at what they do. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Firstly, we could have happily eaten everything on the menu and there’s plenty left we really want to try. This local restaurant is immaculately clean, bright and airy, and has a menu that’s easy to understand, and covers some really popular dishes. We ordered curry puffs, chicken wings (dipping sauce was really fantastic), karaage, wonton soup (crystal clear broth and delightful slurpy wonton), Tom tum rice with chicken&prawn, green veg and a bone in chicken curry & rice. Nothing was heavy or greasy, everything was fresh and delicious. It’s so lovely to have food like this available outside the city centre. They also do a lunch special for £15 which is is definitely worth checking out.

Went for our first visit on a Saturday evening and so pleased we were brave and tried something a bit different. The food is excellent and wonderfully presented. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere was just right. The crispy puffs are a tasty starter and the curry with my Nasi Lemak, was to die for.

Once again (our third trip), excellent food in conducive surroundings. Lisa and Pann is a recent gem in the locality providing a menu of selected dishes influenced by cuisine across South East Asia from Malaysia to Japan. Delicious food is served quickly and is well presented. Portions are generous though not daunting. Lisa is an ever-friendly host. We have been there both for a meal with friends and this week as a couple for a Friday treat. Both were pretty much perfect!

This fabulous restaurant just moments away from the hustle and bustle of Moseley Village on Billesley Lane is nothing less than fabulous. Lovely atmosphere, pleasant lounge music in the background, and excellent service from start to finish by friendly staff. We have just returned from the private dining experience where the food was sublime, the mix of flavours and textures made this a truly wonderful gastromic experience. Many thanks Lisa and Pann. David and Mark Lewis from Hagley, Worcestershire We will definitely be returning soon.

Freshly prepared food which tastes like home. We had two starters. The vegetable fritters came with a spiced peanut dip and a sweet chillie sauce. We also had the curry puff. For mains we had a deconstructed nasi lemak which allowed the individual ingredients to be cooked to their best. I had the ayam curry... One of the better ones I've had. We shared the pandam cheesecake which was topped with freshly roasted coconut and caramel sauce. Good, crisp flavours and the best of it was that nothing was super sweet or super salty. We will visit it again and I would have no issues taking my Malay parents here. They wouldn't even complain much!

Went out for a birthday meal this evening on the recommendation of a friend. Very disappointed. No one took any notice when we came in, I had to wait at the bar for a while to ask where our booked table was. When seated we had to go find our own menus. When server arrived, we were told it would be easier for her if we ordered online. I refused as this was a birthday meal and we could have had takeout by ordering online! We couldn't order drinks at the table but had to wait at the bar. When the food arrived, the noodle dishes were very spicy and the teriyaki chicken which I had was obviously sauce from a bottle chucked over bits of chicken and onion. I could have whipped it up myself in 10 minutes. Hardly the authentic cuisine we were expecting. We paid up and left quickly. Not impressed with either the food or the service.

Lisa and Pann were so accommodating in catering for a family event. The food was fantastic and authentic!! I cannot thank them enough for helping me with the delivery!

The food there is fresh and fab, waitress with blond hair is smiley and service is excellent. In love with the fried rice and sambal, very delicious! Will be back again, high rated guys.

Fabulous Penang hokkein mee that was very flavourful. You can tell the broth is richly cooked with prawns. Lisa and Pann were as usual both very friendly. Will definitely go back again!

Wonderful food, great variety of ingredients and an amazing green dipping sauce that was similar to a salsa verde. Chicken wings were crispy and the pork bun was fantastic too. Quick service too, we ate it all in 15mins!

I tried Lisa and Pann’s kitchen click & collect from the Pig & Tail, loved the food and really friendly staff! The portion was really generous and really tasty! I’ll definitely be ordering again

As a Malaysian I can say the South East Asian food is genuinely authentic and satisfies my cravings. I have visited them from their cafe days to their current set up in Pig and Tail and the food remains just as good and generous. I am counting down the days I can eat in with a pint of the tavern's best.

Back to serve top quality food, takeaway only at the moment..check them out on Facebook. Welcome back. Another great local independent business. Deserves your custom. Highly recommended.

I knew Lisa a Pann´s Kitchen from when they were in Caroline Street and since they moved to the Pig and Tails I had not gone yet. I went again yesterday and I can say I will go many more times, the food is amazing, the portions are quite big (which is always a bonus) and the people there are very nice and friendly! So, it is a place you must visit when you are around the Jewellery Quarter.

Gone forever from the old venue but hopefully a new Lisa And Panns will emerge somewhere in the Jewellery Quarter. Happy memories of brilliant food. Good luck.

Went for a late lunch at this cafe. What a warm welcome. Took Lisa's advice and had a sambal curry and a kampung fried rice. Both were authentic, tasty and plentiful. The open kitchen is a bonus, the anticipation of smelling and seeing your food...

We had such an amazing time last week that we went again today. Food was delicious and owners really friendly. Very tiny place but you feel at home, watching them cook. The kitchen is also very clean. Already looking forward to my next chicken katsu!...

I normally opt for either Katsu curry meal or a noodle dish (chow mein or Mamak being my 2 faves), but I fancied something different. They were preparing someone else's meal and I asked what it was and I was told it was 'Nasi Lamak'...

Visited this cute little gem during a lunch break after hearing great things and was not disappointed!! Super friendly, reasonably priced and delicious food was all cooked fresh

First time visit nice welcome when we walked in. Owners explained the dishes and what’s spicey and what’s not. We went for the Katsu curry and a Thai dish. Both dishes where perfect and as explained. Main thing the value for money is amazing £6...

Still producing amazing food in such a tiny kitchen. Busy for a reason...the food’s really really good!

Awesome food, big portions and really good value for money. Very friendly place and quick service. Becoming my Friday lunchtime treat!

One of the best authentic Malaysian restaurant in Brum even from the tastebuds of a fellow Malaysian. Specials are especially tasty. Restaurant owners are especially friendly and helpful

After a few weeks break in Malaysia the kitchen is open again yay! Katsu Chicken spot on as ever, yum.

Went today for the Katsu Curry and was not disappointed, great authentic food. Nice friendly service and a quick turn around. This place is a hidden gem

Chicken,potatoes, green beans, curry sauce and fried noodles today. Tasty as ever and highly recommend.

Absolutely love coming here. Every thing is cooked fresh and is delicious. From a full English breakfast in the morning to an authentic Chinese come lunch time. Lisa and Pann are both lovely and alway happy please. 😋

Lovely light lunches to more fulfilling noodles or rice dishes you won’t struggle to find something delicious from one of he smallest, friendliest kitchens in Birmingham. Haven’t been to their Sushi nights, but all good things...!

Staff very friendly, the food is very reasonable priced but very tasty and a great variation,highly recommended.

Getting hold of authentic south-east asian food in Birmingham is as hard as getting genuine fish and chips in Kuala Lumpur. But Lisa and Pann's kitchen has genuine authentic Malaysian and Singaporean dishes. They also do a western breakfast, which you can sit outside and...

Delicious and appetizing lemak laksa! One of my favorite! Satisfyingly authentic and it feels like I am on holiday in Malaysia! Thank you Lisa & Pann’s Kitchen.

It’s a great place to come and fix your cravings for authentic Asian food, and at a low price too! The Malaysian cuisine served here is on point. Lisa and Pann are nice to all their customers too. Do follow their Facebook page to find...

Whatever I try it's spot on. From breakfasts to Katsu to lunchtime specials altered to my taste. Highly recommended and worth seeking out. Note closes Saturday but opens Sunday.

They serve really nice Asian food at affordable price. Lisa and Pann are very friendly and caring. I would usually recommend my friends to try their Chicken Katsu, Seabass Fried Rice and Hokkien Mee. I would use ‘great’ to describe the cleanliness of the cafe....

Have been coming to Lisa & Pann's Kitchen regularly for a few months now as I'm studying nearby. Their specialties - chicken katsu and seabass in particular are really good. In fact, I've tried almost everything on their menu now and I've enjoyed all of...

Since I discovered this hidden gem recently, it has instantly become my favourite place for lunch. The cafe, run by two super friendly Malaysian ladies, is compact with minimal decor. However, this is compensated for by their amazing food. Thank you so much for giving...

Just what I needed on a cold day! Freshly cooked chicken katsu hit the mark yet again. Highly recommended.

What a great find...a really wonderful place to eat. Authentic Asian dishes and great service. I'm working my way through the menu and change my new favourite every day. Great takeaway service with advance orders by text or Whatsapp etc. A best kept secret place....

Too early for lunch so tried the traditional cafe route of an egg and bacon sandwich. Really nicely done, as many cafes can't do such a staple that well, no problems here.

Another cracking lunch, katsu curry is cracking but everything you can smell being cooked is tempting. Recommended.

A must visit place. ice and fresh food served at affordable rate. Both Lisa and Pann are nice. I wish both all the best...Cheers

As usual with places local to me, I let them settle down before going in. Great place and lovely first meal served by friendly and welcoming owners. Great value and I will be back.......probably many times!
