El almuerzo en Opheem fue un gran regalo de cumpleaños. La experiencia fue encantadora - desde los aperitivos en el salón hasta la cocina abierta y finalmente dulces en el salón. Cada plato fue más inventivo que el anterior con una gran mezcla de especias y sabores. La merienda de macarrones y la vieira fueron lo más destacado. El postre de menta fue un triunfo Hay una caseta de estacionamiento en la calle que recomendaría usar un estacionamiento y caminar sobre

Simply stunning. This is the second time we’ve been to Opheem and can certainly see how the team have got the second Michelin star. Each dish was wonderful, balanced and refined. Staff were great. Relaxing atmosphere and a pleasure to dine

There is nothing bad about this place, from the snacks (all of which were fantastic but the crumpet with crab was, we agreed, the best) in a very comfortable lounge to be then taken through to the restaurant which was nicely spaced out it was all great. Every course was truly fantastic and whilst we did like some more than others nothing was less than great. Nice pre dinner cocktails and the wine list was good too. We would go back but as we travelled from teesside for a a meal it feels a long way to go regularly !!!!!

Star two of our childrens generously gifted 'six stars for six decades' took us to Opheem, a much anticipated fine dining Indian restaurant. Hand written birthday cards at our table was a nice personal touch as we settled in the bar for pre dinner drinks and snacks. We started with a little potion of cucumber juice which almost served as as taste cleanser in readiness for what was to follow. Two maybe three amuse bouche is the norm but at Opheem they just kept coming, six in total with the cured sea bass in ginger, radish and mango sauce the stand out favourite. We were taken through to the main dining room, shared with its large open plan kitchen, bustling with busy chefs. Each of the menus ten courses were influenced from various regions of India starting with Tabak Mass which was a succulently tender tandoori hogget breast from Kashmir. Simple food such as carrot and potatoe were proudly presented in their own dishes elevated to star status with a combination of outstanding flavours, textures and sauces, layered with just enough spice which pleasantly lingered, and matched perfectly with the wine all served in piping hot bowls. The Badami Korma dish was exceptional, and not just the delightfully king size scallop but the whole combination of tasty morcels bathed in a rich sauce packing each mouthful with an abundance of flavour. Each dish creatively explored the depths of Indian cuisine avoiding heavy handed spiciness which often overpowers, although perhaps the monkfish ventured slightly too far in that direction. Desserts we're closer to home with Yorkshire rhubarb and a mint chocolate dish with its origins in Stratford road, Shirley. Both were exquisite and a fine ending to a wonderful meal. We were taken back to the bar to finish with a generous supply of petit fours, hot flavoursome coffee and a Balvenie 12 to finish, highly recommended.

We had an excellent meal here at the weekend. We went for the ten course tasting menu and it was absolutely stunning. Some of our favourite dishes were the mint chocolate dessert and the aloo tuk. Every dish was seasoned perfectly and we really enjoyed the attentive but laid back style of service. We particularly enjoyed our snacks in the lounge before the meal and enjoyed going back there at the end. An excellent restaurant. We travelled from Essex and weren't disappointed. Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Extremely slow service in bringing each dish, perhaps they want to make us enjoy the ambience and experience, but a little faster would have been better. We spent almost 4.5 hours for the 5 course tasting menu. This is not the place to fill your stomach, this is a place just for experience!

The menu is a delightful mix of Caribbean-inspired dishes, and every item we tried was bursting with flavor. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, while the curry goat was tender and rich in taste. The variety of small plates allowed us to sample a bit of everything, and each dish was a hit.

Arrived at this beautiful restaurant as a group of 5 for their 10 course vegetarian private dining experience. They walked us to the lounge which was absolutely stunning! Felt very cosy, were offered drinks whilst they served some starters. Staff were very polite and attentive, explained each dish very well too. Unfortunately did not manage to get photos of the starters but they were all very tasty! We then went upstairs to their private dining area, which was very well presented and away from busier areas. Each dish was very well presented and well explained, waiters made a lot of personal touches like addressing us by our names, topping up water, recommending wines etc. Was such a wonderful experience that we all throughly enjoyed. As the evening went on we were getting very full, but each course did not disappoint and all were consistent! Would definitely come again and recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Indian cuisine. Only issue we did have was finding parking, lots of double yellows around!

Spectacular food. Every course was amazing. There’s little else to say but it’s well worth a visit and should definitely be on your list. Also, they made great adjustments for my pregnant wife, thank you!! For drinks, we had the non-alcoholic pairing which was also very good and an interesting addition to our meal! If I have to nitpick it’s that the service occasionally had a small miss, they looked too busy like maybe they were a few hands down. Our drinks arrived late twice, and we waited a long time in the lounge before someone took our after dinner drinks order. There was a storm raging outside though, so maybe they were missing a couple of people.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the country. If you are expecting vindaloos and kormas , just go to Alum Rock or Ladypool Road areas. What Opheem does is take Indian spices and flavours and elevate them to the next level. Stunning use of spices and beautiful dishes. The seafood dishes are superb. On arrival you are taken to the bar and are served stunning canapés. We had the 10 course lunch menu and honestly each dosh was a work of art. The scallops were huge and a real highlight. I could not fault any dish. My wife popped in as she had been shopping and they gave her complimentary dessert and she was so happy. No fast turn around on tables so you can spend 3/4/5 hours chilling and enjoying good wine and food. If i lived nearby I would go every week and eat soup the rest of the week to cover the cost

A wet Thursday evening in Birmingham is a bit grim, that is until you walk through the doors of Opheem. A smiling member of staff gives you a very warm welcome and the scene is set for a most magical evening. You’re initially taken into the lounge when your culinary journey begins. Here you can watch chefs at the pass meticulously assemble the 6 “snacks” you have before the main restaurant. A particular highlight were the mango tuille, crab crumpets, and apple macaron. Small morsels but each a taste explosion. Layer upon layer of flavours, textures, and smells. Then you are escorted into the main restaurant for the 10 course tasting menu. You’re served by most members of staff, not just one. They’re all so friendly and welcoming as they explain each course as it arrives. I can safely say it’s simply the best food I’ve ever tasted. We were running out of superlatives very early into the evening. Highlights of this part of the menu were the mutton rib, scallop, potato dish, duck, and the desserts. But honestly, it was all perfection. We chose a bottle of Sake rather than wine and the wonderful Sommelier was very helpful with our choice. After the tasting menu, you go back into the lounge for a further 3 petit fours, coffee, and drinks. We were in the restaurant for 4 hours and it was simply perfect. The food, atmosphere, and staff, all of it. It made my 60th birthday one of the best ever. Thank you Opheem.

This was the famous Opheem in Birmingham. We managed to get a table for 4 with only a week to go. It was from 17:30 on a Thursday. Exactly, who goes out to eat at 17:30 on a Thursday. We were at the restaurant for over 5 hours. That wasn't because the service was bad, quite the contrary. It was the experience of a ten course tasting menu and the service and conversation which meant we were there that long. You will see from the pics that the presentation was amazing, you can't taste it but it was really good. The chefs preparing your courses actually come.out to serve in most cases which was a nice touch. The great man Akhtar himself came out to serve one of the courses, or at least pour the sauce. I have tried to put the pics in order with the menu first so you can match the pic to the dish. I have to say it is not cheap and we did have to convince ourselves for some time that we should go. Really glad we did and it was definitely worth it even if it was a big dent in our going out budget. Would I go again? For that price I think I would be keen to try a different experience but still very glad we went.

The service was exceptional and I think it was worth every penny for what you get - I don't want to spoil it for anyone who is looking to go but so much thought has gone into this restaurant. I have never tasted food like this before. Every dish was incredible and the flavours were divine, even when there was use of an ingredient I wasn't particularly fond of, it all tasted amazing.

We came here back in April, a friend and I. One waiter spoke to us like he was an Asian gangster so I’m not sure what that was all about considering I’m Asian. My friend white British friend couldn’t grasp what was going on with him. We had the full menu and not one dish tasted over 5 out of 10, we could’ve had them anywhere and nothing justified £155 per person. We even had one dish which was a ball with some flavour liquid inside on a spoon…my friend noticed we had different ones as my spoon had a cracked ball and the liquid had drained out…she queried this with the waiter and he just fobbed us off. Definitely not a Michelin star let alone two, I’d be asking who paid who because it was a rip off price for basic food. Shame that Akhtar has fallen so far after amazing food at lasan yet is given 2 stars and appears on masterchef…the world is fully upside down and the only way to get ahead is to cheat people

Overall, the food was superb. The two drawbacks for me were the four hours (!!) it took them to serve all of the courses, and the sheer quantity of food. I have a big appetite, but after four "snacks", ten courses plus petit fours to finish, I was uncomfortably full. Fewer courses and an experience more in the region of 2–3 hours would've made this a five-star experience.

Upon arrival we were led to the ante room where we waited around 10 mins to be offered a drink, this was the only blemish on an otherwise flawless service. The a la carte lunch came with many delicious surprises, but none could match the crab. Wine list was varied and very interesting and the sommelier was good enough to let us try one or two of the more unusual wines. Overall, truly excellent.

Had a superb meal here for a friend’s 60th birthday. We had the 10 course taster menu. The waiting staff explained every course as it came out, sometimes difficult to hear them though as they mumbled or had a strong accent. They were very attentive but not overly so. A lovely place with lovely food but quite expensive. 6 people, 10 course taster, 2 bottles of wine, 3 gin and tonics, 2 cognacs and around 20 beers, bill was nearly £1700.

Having read a review in a well known UK national Sunday paper, it had taken over 5 months to get a table on a Saturday, such is the popularity of this restaurant. From the phone call 2 days before to confirm the booking through to the snacks at the end of our 5 taster lunch the experience was exquisite. Food, staff, service, drinks, ambience and layout just superb. A first class dining treat with an Asian twist, we were even served one course by the owner and got the opportunity to talk to him about what remains one of our best go to restaurants in Birmingham.

A first class dining treat with an Asian twist, we were even served one course by the owner and got the opportunity to talk to him about what remains one of our best go to restaurants in Birmingham. Excellent!

Incredible experience from the minute ww walked in the door. The food was some of the finest I've ever had and the service was impeccable. We had the A la carte lunch and the restaurant added a few extras which was an extremely classy touch. The whole experience was just incredible.

Yeah... Starter and Dessert off the lunch menu (Aloo/Shrikhand) were the BEST starter and BEST dessert I've ever had, and I've been to many Michelin stars in Birmingham and abroad. PERIOD. The Guinea Fowl main? Great. One element was perhaps too salty but actually mixed in with everything else it just worked. The cooking of the Guinea Fowl was truly world class. So yeah, I'm nitpicking here but at the end of the day it was a beautiful beautiful journey from Lounge/Restaurant and then back to the lounge. Exquisite snacks and tasters beginning, middle and end. Just a stunning meal. Oh, and lovely staff who you can have a bit of a laugh with but equally you can ask them anything and they have an answer. Thanks for a great birthday Opheem. ❤️

We had a superb lunch yesterday for my husband’s birthday. The food was outstanding and truly original, carrot and passion fruit amuse-bouche, who would have thought, but completely delicious! The scallop dish was so wonderful that I had to close my eyes to concentrate on it! The staff are so warm and so dedicated to giving you the best time possible. Andrew the Maître d’hôte set the tone and couldn’t do enough. We had lovely chat with other staff but didn’t catch their names, but all very efficient and friendly. I’m not a huge chilli fan and they really helped advise me on dishes. So very recommended!

Absolutely amazing. Really special tasting menu, fantastic presentation, flavours, pacing, service. Beautiful decor and incredible staff. Well deserving of its stars, we had a phenomenal evening, the time just flew by. Loved how we started and ended in the lounge and we were all absolutely stuffed by the end. Perfection!

This was a long awaited return to opheem having previously visited twice during the period before it was refurbished. It has, obviously, gained a second star in that time. It was our fifth two star establishment within the last year and Michelin certainly have that decision perfectly correct. There is a distinct clarity that this is refined Indian cookery. The cookery was spot-on throughout the meal and what an experience it is. The staff are polite, courteous and helpful and at every point it works. It’s not cheap but it is excellent value-for-money. I can’t honestly see why this wouldn’t be classed as three star. Superb

We tried the 10 course tasting menu. From start to finish the experience was wonderful. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was exciting and varied. Such incredible flavours, packed into small plates. Each very different from the others. I would definitely visit again!

We went to Opheem for a 40th birthday celebration. Staff went above and beyond to make the evening special and they most certainly succeeded. The tasting menu included some of the best dishes I have tasted that were beautifully presented. It was absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend to others.

Walked into the restaurant today to order a voucher for a family member’s birthday. Was told we can only order online. A £2 charge for an emailed voucher (or £6.99 for an envelope?) I would expect something like this if I was booking a Ryanair flight, not a Michelin 2* restaurant. For context, I have visited Opheem several times before - both the food and service has been superb.

When you walk in and the person at the door remembers an email you know it’s going to be good. The staff, the food, the ambience were all beyond my expectations. It blew me away, We only had the lunch menu, no wine flight no taster menu. But did it make us want to go back for the full experience….absolutely! The food was immaculate, IMMACULATE. The service form every member of staff wasn’t stuffy or over bearing, but fun, a laugh. I’ve been put off going to Michelin starred restaurants because of this. It’s food. I shouldn’t be made to feel uncomfortable . You just don’t get this here. The price you pay directly reflects the level of service and the quality of food, exceptional. In every way. Thanks for making our anniversary so special.

I'll be honest if my experience at Opheem was anything short of amazing I would be upset. But I'm not, as my visit was exceptional. I went on a weekday which meant they weren't quite as busy as they could have been. But the service was lovely. The food was almost perfectly timed to our pace! The food was brilliant too! Honestly had a lovely time!

Went too ophem other night and it was simply exquisite. From the moment we sat down we were bombarded with little snacks that were so tasty and fresh. Then into the main restaurant the delights just kept coming .The chefs came out and explained a few dishes which was a nice touch .Very expensive but if you want lovely food and leave stuffed then this is a must visit

One of the best meals I have ever had. From the beginning to the end the attention to detail was exceptional. The initial snacks were given in the lounge and all tasted amazing, it was a lovely and relaxing start. Then we were taken to the main restaurant area where we had the main tasting menu. There wasn’t a single dish I didn’t absolutely love. The spices and textures have been very well balanced and completely lifted the dishes. At the end we went back to the lounge for some sweets. Service and atmosphere were brilliant. The whole experience took four hours. It is pricy as you are paying for a Michelin star tasting menu, but it very much deserves the 2 stars. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere as a nice treat.

Collected some takeaway from Viceroy. I live on a canal boat. So have been to a lot of different Indian takeaways. I sat in the restaurant as I got there a bit early, the atmosphere is great and the staff are lovely. The food is exceptional. I ordered enough for supper and had some leftover for the next day, it really is top tier on both days. I highly recommend, Thank you.
