Called in for the first time on Saturday. It was near to closing time so just had a coffee and a blonde. Louie was an absolute delight. So friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to try the meals.

We were staying at the B&B opposite without the second B, so we came here for breakfast. It's a really nice little cafe tucked away on the main road; far nicer than you'd guess from the outside. The food was good and service was excellent, so I'd definitely recommend it.

I had cheesecakes made especially for my party, they were all delicious, including the vegan ones and Louis was so helpful throughout and even delivered them for free. Have also eaten in before and my dad said it was the best soup he'd ever had. Highly recommend!

Really nice cosy Cafe with really nice food, the staff are helpful and was able to cater for my daughter, with the chef even cutting her food into little chunks to make it easier for her. Highly recommend this place.

Sol Bistro is like the Tardis. Looks small but it opens out to two rooms, the back room can seat up to 6 people around one table. It is a very friendly and welcoming Bistro and their breakfast is really delicious. There are sandwiches of bacon, sausage. Small and large set breakfasts etc. We have tried their sandwiches, which comes with a nice salad and very filling. The 2 guys who run the Bistro are doing a brilliant job, so next Time you are in Cotteridge, pop in and enjoy fresh sandwiches and hot meals.

First time visit. Great addition to Cotteridge. Thoughtfully decorated interior with two cozy rooms for seated meals. The food is freshly prepared and made to a high standard. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Keep an eye out on their Facebook page for extra events that they might be running in the evenings. Well worth a visit!

After dropping the dog off for a haircut and finding the cafe that we originally intended to go to was closed, me and the hubby stumbled across Sol, purely by chance, hidden in plain sight. Lovely owners, lovely cafe, lovely food. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back! 😘

Absolutely lovely breakfast. We had the vegetarian and the Belfast. Both were cooked perfectly and were perfect sized portions. The young man running the cafe was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely visit again and again.

What a gem this place is. Had a beautiful sourdough egg Benedict breakfast and delicious cappuccino. Was spoilt for choice what to have. Other brunch’s being served looked equally scrumptious. Management / staff are so friendly and welcoming. Deceptively spacious with loads more tables in second dining area behind serving counter. Thoroughly recommmend

I visited today and was welcomed into a warm and cosy bistro! What a hidden gem this place is. We ordered coffee to start which was one of the best coffees around. We then decided to look at the menu and order some breakfast, I had the Belfast breakfast and my friend had the sol breakfast. Both of these were faultless and delicious! We sat relaxed and enjoyed our time here . We needed to head off as we were meeting family friends on the other side of Birmingham but we would easily sit there all day! 100% recommend and really encourage people to go and support them! Can't wait to visit again very soon 😊

Great reviews. Interesting menu. Make a booking online. Turned up. Restaurant closed. Looked as though it had been closed a while. Went to Aluna instead. Had a great meal. Advice - call to make a booking, don't rely on online.

I'd been out with a group of chums to see "Dune: Part 2" (oh, and I have opinions about THAT!) and fancied something appropriately spicy afterwards: The spice must flow! We chose Rumana's on a recommendation from a friend's sister, and I'm glad we did. Their website says they "pride ourselves in treating our customers like members of our family", and it really felt like we were old friends visiting someone's home (especially with the well-behaved kids scooting around and being generally delightful - and I don't even like kids!) I think we were served by Rumana herself, and she was welcoming and helpful - a real pleasure to meet someone so engaged and enthusiastic about their restaurant, and being a great host. The other staff were also very polite and helpful, and knowledgable about the menu. Speaking of which: The menu has a selection of dishes which seem unusual and possibly unique to this restaurant. I won't go into too much detail about my friends' dishes, but all were given the thumbs up. The poppadoms came out first, of course, but the accompanying sauces need some props: Their chili-sauce-gravy thing was incredible (I almost asked if I could take some home). Most curry / balti restaurants in Brum seem to have their own 'red sauce' and it's not often one stands out as being extra-special and worthy of a paragraph of review: This was one of those special sauces. Spicy, tangy (tamarind?), thick, and with a huge amount of flavour. Well done, chef! For a starter, I had Shunamoti: I've never had a cheesy chicken tikka omelette before, but I will certainly have it again (and probably learn to make it at home). Very unusual, and very tasty. for my main, I decided to opt for something at the spicy end of the scale, and had to ask about the story behind "What the Bloody?!" (yes, that is what it is called) - no spoilers! You'll have to find out yourself. It warranted three chilis on the menu (not the hottest thing they serve), but this was a home-cooking 3 chilis and was at the top end of my spice tolerance (which is quite high), so be warned! I can recommend the mango lassi as a wonderful 'control rod' for the naga reaction. However: The dish was not just hot for the sake of being hot, but had a real depth of flavour, too. The accompanying roti was fluffy, fresh and hot. I am also reliably informed that their Peshawari Naan is one of the best my friend had ever had (and they lived in India for a while), drizzled with honey and with juicy sultanas embedded within. The restaurant is unlicensed, but there is a small shop over the road where you can buy booze if you need to. It's also next door to a 'Spoons if you want pre- or post-curry cask ales. Overall, a great experience. Northfield seems to be THE place for getting something authentic, unusual, and very tasty these days (I reviewed the equally excellent Omar Khayam a few weeks ago). I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu at some point: I definitely need to try the Atomic Chips!
