I'm a picky eater and like spicy food. The menu wasn’t very intercontinental, but there were good options—I left full and satisfied. I liked the jerk chicken, chicken tikka, barbecue chicken and lamb chops, and the Saphari Punch mocktail. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was quite busy, so I can’t say much about the atmosphere, but I felt comfortable. It’s their policy, so it’s not a negative, but it felt a bit unusual having to pay for the buffet before eating and the drinks separately. I’m just more used to settling the bill at the end.

First time visiting and definitely would never come again.! Food quality very poor, Crispy duck had a strange taste, Salt & pepper prawns, had a slight batter, but all of them still had their shells on. Desserts awful. Ambiance noisy and rough. Staff were all friendly, polite and cleared the table quickly.

I do regular rounds of buffet restuarants in the midlands. Today i thought i would try saphari, i was not impressed, the set up and the decoration are good , as for the outside its a let downlooks delapidated and needs redecorating. Going in 1st at opening time to get the freshest food was a must. I made my rounds through the starters anti-pasti was good but limited but then again its out of a packet. The indian starters were edible and presented well. The asian starters were good apart from the yuk sung which was just like mush. Then onto the mains:1st i had the jamaican jerk chicken which needed more jerk and more fire, the oxtail was like a soup with little flavour, then rice and peas which needed coconut milk and thyme and hotting up a bit. The curry goat was the best of the lot but not spicy and a little greasy. The indian selection looks great but again a lack of flavour and runny like water no body to it, the lamb in the rogan josh was fatty and greasy not nice at all. I did not try the sunday roast but the beef did look nice. The thing that i did like the look of was the live cooking station , steak lamb chops and chicken then red snapper and hake fish and a noodle section cooked to your liking fresh. The deserts were plentyful but not to my liking carrot cake i tried didnt taste like carrot cake and the cheesecake were more like just cream. I am glad i tried it but wont return £53.00 for 2 of us was not worth the money. I have had better for cheaper at umami telford and cosmos wolverhampton.

I was so disappointed to find a much less menu for in excess of £15. No fish , no Caribbean, no grill choice and plenty of left overs from the previous business. Plenty of empty tureen dishes. Everything we asked for was not available in the day , I managed to get a small plate of Coleslaw. Nowhere does it talk of a reduction in menu choice because of time of the day and cost. I appreciate this could apply to one or 2 more expensive dishes. There was over 20 of us and it became embarrassing and a complete waste of money. I would have preferred to understand the reduced menu beforehand.

We had a wonderful experience at Saphari Restaurant! The service was absolutely flawless from start to finish. Even though we were the last ones to leave, the staff remained warm and attentive throughout. A special shoutout to Aashish and Gaurav for going above and beyond to make our evening memorable – their hospitality truly stood out. Highly recommended!

I’ve been coming to Saphari Restaurant in Birmingham for a while now, and I have to give a special shoutout to Manish. Every single time, he goes above and beyond to accommodate my needs — nothing is ever too much trouble. He’s incredibly polite, genuine, and professional, always making sure guests feel welcome and well taken care of. Manish truly stands out and is a big reason why I keep coming back. He has the qualities of a great leader, and in my opinion, he absolutely deserves a promotion to manager. His dedication and customer-first attitude are exactly what every restaurant needs. Highly recommend asking for Manish when you visit!

At £24.99 per person, I was at least expecting some nice food. I'm afraid this place is totally not worth the value at all - £24.99 is the same price as some higher end buffet-style restaurants. The food is very basic tasting, most of the curries and meat dishes taste the same (bland) and there is a huge amount of beige carb heavy foods. I ordered some food to be cooked and the 'chef' took my cooked food off with the same cooking utensils he used to put the raw chicken on with - be very careful. The glasses were filthy dirty and the bar staff tried to hide this by adding ice to them to stop me from seeing the grime and ketchup that was on the glass. I would not recommend this place, especially for the price, absence of flavour and cleanliness.

Bit cloudy the food was okay but it is a bit expensive per person around £26 and it’s bit cloudy as well. You need to find space to sit around and the drawings are separate so seems like expensive some food or seems like made two days ago.

I don't think I can happily eat here again. The food isn't that good, live BBQ was a letdown (steak tasted burnt, most of the food here was flavourless and bland. The only thing that was okay was the drinks to be honest. I wouldn't eat here again. I would recommend miller & carter or something

1 is too much for this place honestly!!! I'm not going to lie,but this used to be one of me and my husband's favourites when we were looking for various foods with affordable prices. We always thought the quality wasn't great but we always said that works for that money. On my birthday we all went there: me, my husband, my husband's mum and our 2 daughters.3.5 and 1 year old!!! That night we all started to be sick and have bad diarrhoea!!! Only the 1 year old was fine, as she didn't touch the food. We were unwell for few days in a raw, my older one wasn't getting better. I had to stay with her at home and take unpaid leave. I called the manager to complain and ask for a refund (at least I could have that!) but the answer was that i need to send an email. I sent them the email and they reassured me that their food was fine, as no one else complained. We all 4 had the same symptoms exactly after that meal!! What could be more obvious than that! He told me that we certainly ate something else. That would've been impossible as I was away for the last days with my older one, so we all had different foods before that meal. 2 days later i took our stools go GP as we weren't getting better. The samples tested positive to Campylobacter!! This is a bad bacteria that lives in uncooked chicken. The GP asked for the restaurant details as they need to report these kind of incidents so for the gp my story made sens and actually confirmed that we were all poisoned in this cheap restaurant. I emailed back by asking for a refund again and telling them me and my family were diagnosed with this bacteria but they never replied back! Scammers!!! Putting the public healty at risk and not taking the blame after..

After dining here with my family, we found the food to be either bland, over spiced or nothing like it was meant to be. The food change around was slow, pudding was better then the food. Over all we spend nearly £100 pound and only 2 of us out of a family of 5 ate. The pizza was one of the family's favourite the chicken curry was plain there was no option to add mushrooms /ect. The refillable drinks are good. There seems a good choice of foods but not alot the same time no chicken fried rice. The chips were not fully cooked. The room where we sat was cold. After being asked if food was OK I said I couldn't eat I was offered a free drink that Cost around £6 from one of the staff that I found was kind but not worth the money we spent. The staff, Lucky and Monty was helpful and made the experience better. Overall the quality of the food is not great, and overall not satisfied with the level of support or our experience.

One of the most blandest curries i have ever eaten and gloopy.When the prawn crackers taste better than the curry you have to ask yourself some serious questions!
