Saphari in Sandwell

The food was cold and not tasty at all. I will personally never recommend this place.

Great service and the food will be back very soon and thank you G rana for amazing time.

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.

went here dinner time today with my wife no much at all choice from there and my wife had chicken curry how as stomach pains and is being sick this was the first and last think she as eaten today i didn't have chicken curry so was ok £15 each is way over the top for the choice that was there i will be avoiding in future

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.

Fantastic service from Grana very pleasant and welcoming food was fantastic to

Safari’s is brilliant the food is amazing and staff are always welcoming and pleasant especially Grana

Outstanding customer service and great food especially from Grana

The food is great, unfortunately the service is absolutely awful. Most the staff are rude, but worst of all, they come round with card machines taking payment while you're chewing food. Who does that???

excellent food and excellent service from the man with the long hair and tattooes - we are looking forwards to returning - BIG thanks!!

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!

We were the last ones to leave today at 10:45, and the experience was absolutely lovely! The service was amazing – the staff were so sweet, professional, and attentive throughout. We had a great interaction with Ashish and Gaurav, who really made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxed evening. So pleased we chose Saphari, and we’ll definitely be visiting again!!

Everything was delicious. I couldn't get my feet off the ground after. So much food. Grana was a great person as well, managing all financial affairs and making things as easy as possible

Diya was very good with her service and food was ok

Food taste not expected for the price.

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!

Wow!! This place is amazing. They have all variety of for all. Please try this place m, you will love it. Special thanks to G Rana for his service

The food and atmosphere is 10/10 been here so many times always worth it. Will be back soon and thank you G rana for the service.

great experience, great food, really recommend this place, really helpful staff aswell such as one named grania.

I recently visited Saphari and had an absolutely delightful experience! Special shoutout to Diya who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor truly made our visit stand out. Thank you, Diya, for your outstanding service! The variety of cuisines offered was impressive, and every dish I tried was bursting with flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal.

Came back a second time as food/service/ambience was great. Great service from Diya today who made us feel comfortable and relaxed.

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.

Arjun was a fantastic host Very good guy and very helpful He made the experience here 100% better Food was great value for money Will be back again

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.

Diya served us here food was nice and everything was great

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

Food was amazing.will definitely be calling in again

Food so ahhhhhh... service so ahhh... atmosphere so ahhhhhhhhhhhh💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀 ts pmo

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..

Thank you for the lovely food and service. A special thank you to Diya for the bday suprise ☺️

Diya was very professional, has good customer service skills

Diya was good server food was tasty come back soon ❤️

G rana . He was hospitable and nice

Fantastic atmosphere...lovely service and Grana was exceptional with his attentiveness to service..Grana asked a few times if everything was to our liking..you could see he was overlooking the staff and deliverance of good customer care..I would be happy to recommend this restaurant..the food although brilliant needs a little care..the ribs were hard to chew..and custard was too watery....which put us off the pudding..but overall happy we came..

Grana...is brilliant l have come to this restaurant on many occasions seen and had splended service from this gentleman.. I am so proud to see how he has progressed and still keeps smiling and disciplined in ensuring that we are comfortable while we are dinning. He is an asset to your Team.

G rana best manager so far.I love this guy

We booked as a family of 25, Welcomed by G Rana, Thank you for the good service, we were pleased throughout with your engagement. The place was very clean, food taste was 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you Saphari for hosting us, you are the best Buffet🔥.

G Rana was very nice and accommodative to our group! We can without a booking but he was able to give us a good spot for our group of 25! Very lovely atmosphere and very good food

Grana was really nice and helpful will be back very soon .

We’ve been coming to Saphari Buffet in Birmingham for almost 10 years, and it’s consistently excellent. The food is always fresh with a great variety, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Special thanks to Manish and Arjun — their service is outstanding every time. Highly recommend!

The food it beautiful and tastes amazing service is ok but you sometimes have to ask more that ones for something but I understand they might be busy and the atmosphere is always nice there's always lots of people and it makes it loud which can't be helped but I wish the tables weren't so close together and I also think we should be able to take our left over home if we want them

Great food, very busy. Would go again!

Absolutely delightful A special shoutout to the lovely girl who served us—she was so attentive, friendly. Her bright smile and excellent service really elevated our dining experience. Thanks diya 😃

G Rana is so friendly and helpful, me and my partner have been coming here for years even when it was called Flavourz and he’s always made such an effort with us !!

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.

First time here. Atmosphere was really great and service was very professional. Very good value for money and definitely recommend bringing your family along. Grania was great in helping and accommodating.

We had the most incredible birthday dinner at Saphari restaurant in Birmingham, and we can't stop raving about it! From the moment we arrived, Arjun and his colleague Monty made us feel truly special with their exceptional care and attention to detail. They turned what was already a celebratory evening into something extraordinary with a surprise mini birthday celebration that left us all smiling. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, they prepared the nicest mocktail 🍸, which truly felt like the cherry on top of the cake! A huge thank you to Arjun, Monty, and the entire team at Saphari for creating such a memorable evening. We can’t wait to come back and relive this amazing experience!
