I’ve been ordering the lamb chops from here for a few years and It’s always been a bit hit and miss. When I actually get what I’ve ordered - peri peri LAMB chops, they are amazing, but for the past 12 months at least 50% of the time I end up with mutton chops which are tough and mostly bone. Tonight was the last straw. Again it was mutton but this time with absolutely no edible meat on them and no seasoning at all! Never again.

Semedos restaurant has become a regular visit for me when in the jewelry quarter. With good food at a competitive price, semedos offers the option to dine in and enjoy a comfortable meal. All the food we have had from the restaurant has been brilliantly flavored and well presented, I must recommend the lunch time menu for a bargain meal. The service is basic as they have a smaller number of staff working, but no more should be expected especially at the good price they are offering. The restaurant is often unfortunately quite, this should not deter and instead should be described as a hidden gem. Other than the lunch time menu I have not sampled any of the wider menu, however the deserts do look amazing, but the wider main menu can rise more to the expensive side. If I had to offer any improvements to the restaurant I would recommend attempting to raise the atmosphere by ensuring the staff are friendly and outgoing. Definitely try this one out for yourself.

i used to come all the time and the food and atmosphere was 10/10 now the servers do not know how to listen and take extremely long the pasta has less seasonings in it now and the tea has no sugar even after asking for more sugar also the custard took 10 min to make and they tried give the chocolate cake cold after paying more than a £5 for it and & £2 for custard also the tables were not clean and we also asked to eat in and he put the food in to go box’s then laughed after so to clear up they need new staff or do new training as it’s going downhill so disappointed

This restaurant uses tesco branded ingredients for there vegetables, potatoes and sauces possibly everything. As soon as I took my first bite, I can just taste tesco in my mouth. We also saw the chef coming in with a tesco bag full of potatoes. Very disappointed they clearly don't care about the customer and care about higher profit margins.

The food was nice the drinks given (pepsi and apple juice were luke warm) The lamb chops was on point The steakbox was tasty but the presentation was a disappointment, for 13 pounds i expected more beef... The burgers were standard, nothing to complain Waiting time however we waited 30 minutes for our food to arrive. When we asked for our mojitos we was told to wait another 5 minutes which ended up being 10 minutes instead... Food is halal so thats a good point, and the best part we were not given any cutlery....

We had a lovely dinner thanks to Stephan. We were a large group but he accommodated a table suitable for us. Most of us were fasting and he provided sliced watermelons and dates for us for iftar on the house. There was also a slight misunderstanding on the food order between us but he managed to solve it nicely. I had a steak box with rice, the portion was big and it was delicious. Definitely would go back if i'm in the area again

A really lovely place to sit and have a drink or something light to eat. The two members of staff were delightful. The salted caramel cake was delicious, and I'm someone who does not like cake. My only gripe would be the price of a meal I felt was a bit more than expected as a full burger or panini meal costs less in many other places. But don't let that put you off. It really is a lovely place to sit, relax & enjoy the food.

Its my birthday and we are hungry and roaming jewellery quarter. Across the road we see semedos and naked chicken and we decided to go semedos as they have seating plus it smelt nice. So we order 4 peri chicken burgers (2x medium, 1x hot and 1x xtra hot) and a portion of wings(hot). The chips were standard crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. The lady at the counter was really friendly. The medium burgers were average in spice but they were fresh and saucy. However, the xtra hot was so spicy it made my friends run a 1mile round the block in under 5mins 🤣🤣🤣. We felt bad for the lady working for the counter as she also felt bad because she gave 16yr olds xtra hot. The owner was also helpful as he offered us some milk but we declined as poo was literally about to come out of our arses. Anyways, if you want some fun and a pukka munch head on your way to semedos and you will not be disappointed. 10/10

(2023/10/05) Another visit this Thursday at 4pm, another inefficient service. While there were only 5 customers including myself at the time, I waited exactly 20 minutes for my Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff and Peri Peri Burger. I wouldn't say they were lack of staff, they were just used to a below par service speed. My Peri Peri Burger was again very dry this time, really hard to finish it without a drink. My Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff was not cooked in an Italian way, you could see from the photo that pasta, chicken and sauce were definitely cooked separately. Not looked very nice, but the actual taste was okay. The pasta was in a proper state, neither raw nor mush. The sauce was creamy with a Peri Peri mix, it went well with the pasta. However the chicken had a totally different taste, didn't have a harmony with the rest of the dish. At least, it reached my expectation for a £12.05 pasta dish. I'm gradually losing my love with Semedos, the food quality is maybe not that high. Semedos will still be one of my options in Jewellery Quarter, though the order has definitely changed. (2023/08/17) Another visit this Thursday at 5pm, still an off-peak period with only a few customers but the service was inefficient this time. It took me around 27 minutes to get everything I ordered (1/4 Peri Peri Chicken with Fries, 3pc Lamb Chops and 3pc Baklava). Disappointingly, the chicken I got this time was too dry. Bigger portion of dry chicken just imagine, pack of protein! Nutritious but not delicious. The Lamb Chops and Baklava were both fine. That’s it, nothing more nothing less. Some comments are saying that they waited more than an hour to get their dishes. If you order something big in a busy period, one hour is definitely possible and nothing is exaggerated. (2023/07/28) Found this restaurant online and it had some decent reviews. First visit this Friday at 5pm, definitely an off-peak period. Only 1 staff there, but the service was friendly and efficient. There was a huge menu with very competitive prices in Jewellery Quarter. The impression climaxed when I saw the 2 plates. Well, they looked so good with such prices. Maybe the expectation was too high, the actual tastes could not match in the end. The best item for me was the Peri Peri Chicken, really tender and juicy. The Peri Peri Burger was okay apart from the patty that was relatively dry. Fries and Chunky Chips were freshly fried and they tasted delicious with salt and all those condiments provided. The Gelato was a huge disappointment. Very icy, 1 of the scoops wasn't even compact! Maybe I should have checked the display counter more carefully before I placed the order. The Nata tasted a bit weird, not sure whether that was the authentic Portuguese taste. Overall, still a fairly positive experience. Will come back for sure, still want to check out some other items on their menu.

Im self employed and understand how damaging it can be to have bad reviews. This usually prevents me from being quick to type a bad one. But when the cost of living is so high and money is tight, people deserve to know where they should NOT spend their money. I don't understand why people open food establishments if they don't have a passion for food. I've noticed how this scam runs now...Make the exterior look good, but serve up oven food standards and charge the customer high prices. I stopped going to Samedos a while ago because my first experience was overpriced and subpar. But it was WAY Better back then than it is now. There are A LOT of businesses now that have slapdash menus with the typical dishes, and everyone seems to believe they can cook peri peri chicken. I bought wings and fries to take away. Bearing in mind I usually go to the chicken place next door (who's food is better) but I didn't fancy fried chicken so went to Samedos. I deliberated a lot at the till when I saw how uninterested the waaitress/cook was but I took the leap regardless. The wings were dry and burnt and the chips were overcooked and flavourless. And to top it all off, I woke up with an upset stomach and I KNOW exactly what caused it. Listen, not everyone that opens up a place can cook, this is one of a million places that are just below standard. Don't waste your money. Please dont even waste your time. Read the reviews, can this many people be wrong?

I think i had the stacking burger either way it had multiple patties on it and it just melts in your mouth with a delicious variety of toppings and salad and that’s not to mention the chips had the perfect crisp with 2 sauces on the side and all of this topped off with wonderful customer service and also amazing shakes. I don’t know how they can charge such good prices too, very big fan after today. I actually went back 15 minutes later and ordered another one!!

GREAT STAFF & ALLERGY FRIENDLY After having a terrible experience due to simple allergy requests in another Birmingham establishment, we came to Farro’s. The way in which the staff dealt with us was exceptional. The gentleman clearly ran us through the menu and what contained allergens and what didn’t and he made sure to inform the kitchen staff of the allergies too. Obviously cross contamination is something that is always a risk however making an active effort to reduce this is always highly appreciated. This waiter specifically is a credit to your team as he made sure to make us comfortable as eating out with allergies can always be a daunting experience. The way in which you communicate with customers can make a huge difference, thank you!

Just been tonight and for £60 it was awful. Cheapo rice. Halloumi might as well have not been cooked. Overated meat. Apparently didn’t have a chef on for the pride bread. Should make this aware to people before making the order. Don’t waste your money, just go to the near by chicken places for half the price and taste a lot better.
