My husband and I came here for dinner to celebrate our first year anniversary and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend the grilled octopus for starters and the surf and turf for mains. The service was exceptional, particularly our server-Thiyesa who regularly ensured that we were happy with our food and that we had an amazing anniversary dinner. She was very enthusiastic, kept us very happy and made our night even more memorable. I asked the manager to take a picture of us so he took us to the photo wall and we were very pleased with the photos. Will come again!

Unethical and Immoral Practices – Avoid at All Costs We booked a table for 5pm and arrived in Birmingham at 3pm, leaving plenty of time on what we thought would be a normal day. Unfortunately, there was standstill traffic, and after an hour and a half of barely moving, we realised we wouldn’t make it. We called the restaurant to inform them, explaining the situation and that we wouldn’t need the table. The person on the phone informed us of a 30-minute grace period but was vague and non-committal when we reiterated that we still wouldn’t be able to make it within that time. Despite clearly stating we wouldn’t need the table, they refused to confirm the cancellation, which seemed odd at the time. The next day, we were charged a £20 “no-show” fee. When we called to question this, we were told we hadn’t cancelled the table. This is completely untrue—we had called to cancel, but their staff refused to acknowledge it or confirm our cancellation, seemingly to justify charging the fee later. We were never informed of any no-show charge when we called, and their lack of transparency and refusal to act ethically in this situation is appalling. This experience feels like a deliberate attempt to exploit customers. In my view, this is immoral, unethical, and a clear example of prioritising profit over basic customer service. Avoid this place if you value honest treatment and respect as a customer.

This is dining as it should be. The food was amazingly good, delightful to see served and tasted fantastic. The service was absolutely spot on and was the right blend of attentive and unoverbearing. Drinks were smashing and would recommend the Mayan King. The atmosphere in the place is great with a dedicated DJ creating all the right vibes without being too loud. Go.

Nice place, inventive and modern cuisine. Don't expect to find typical Mexican cuisine. We shared a guacamole, then some very small and tough lamb chops, a dish with lobster and crab, honestly we didn't like it, with a bottle of wine, £100 for two with a 30% off offer. The Fork. The place and the service are, however, very good.

Was taken here by two business colleagues and absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and the attentive personal service. Atmosphere is a lively pan-generational mixed demographic in a stylish and glamorous space, with perfect little details right down to the napkin rings. Great cocktails and genuinely exquisite food. ( sea bass ceviche to die for) What was going to be a routine working dinner turned into the best evening. Staff were wonderful and simply cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing decor, a nice warm welcome on arrival. Our main server was Patricia and she was absolutely lovely although everyone we spoke to were very nice. The attention to detail in everything was so good, even things like the plates were beautiful and even the bottle for ap water looked good! The presentation of everything was great. I am not really a big fan of mexican restarants but this one takes it to another level. Even the toilets looked amazing and stylish! The crafted cocktails were different and I really enjoyed mine plus a little treat for our anniversary was a nice little touch. If this restaurant was close to home I am sure we would become regulars, would absolutely recommend

Our server, who may be the manager (Aussie guy) was exceptional. He was passionate about the food and brand and making sure we had a good time. Not a typical Mexican in the uk, very authentic food. A large drinks menu, but be warned the usual cocktails available elsewhere are not available here. Food was great and filling. Will be back.

Okay so first of all we arrived late which is crappy for us and we apologise so we missed our Bottomless Brunch slot. It was absolutely freezing in there, wasn’t good that we were sat right under the AC which we asked to be turned off. The menus were somewhat hard to understand and comprehend and there wasn’t a variety on the menu in OUR opinion. We ordered chicken tacos, cod tacos, fries, truffle fries and honey glazed carrots because nothing really was catching our eyes. Carrots and fries were fantastic and would defo recommend but everything else was not giving what it was supposed to give especially after seeing the lovely reviews. Our expectations were high. The cocktail menu was like a mini catalogue which is really overwhelming and you don’t know where to start from. My friends got the El Tempo cocktail after being recommended that by our lovely waiter. We can’t explain the taste but it wouldn’t be our go to be bought again. They didn’t have ketchup, mayonnaise/regular sauce and when we asked, we were told it’s because they’re trying to keep with the authenticity of Mexico which is fair I guess. One of our taco meals was taken off our bill after the Manager came to check in on us whilst we were eating and we told him how we felt. Overall food experience was 4/10, customer service 8/10, aura 5/10, it was quiet for a Sunday. They Played Premier Gaou (Nitefreak Remix) by Francis Mercier & Magic System which is brownie points. All in all it was good. They even brought out a fancy something for my friends birthday. I would come again and possibly try one of the fish mains

I recently visited Mayan Restaurant for their Dia de Los muertos event. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere had a great vibe, but there seemed to be a shortage of waitstaff, which affected the service a bit. The entertainment was enjoyable, though I would have liked a more elaborate show. Overall, I’d recommend visiting on a Friday or Saturday for a lively evening experience. The dessert was decadent.

Only complaint was our fried was coeliac and it wasn't a great choice for her on some of the courses - we had sumptuous starters and amuse bouche and she had some peppers and then olives, hardly equitable!!! So for normal dietary requirements it is fantastic.

The quality of the food was outstanding, with every dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. Each plate was beautifully presented, the service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. The staff, especially Prachi, made sure we were comfortable and accomodated throughout our meal. Overall the Mayan was a beautifully decorated restuarant, intimate and a great place to book for celebrating any special moments! Must visit!

First time to eat here last Friday (4 Oct 2024), boy, we weren't disappointed. When we arrived, our table was in the front of the restaurant, we didn't realise this was a DJ experience and it was too loud for us, as my hearing isn't great. We asked our waiter if we could move to a quieter section, in seconds we were whisked to the back of the restaurant to a beautiful table in an alcove and we had the most incredible meal. This isn't your typical Mexican or Argentinian restaurant - it's a fusion of the very best flavours presented in an haute cuisine style. The ox cheek tacos were to die for, the empanadas were delicious and the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating to adapt my dishes to have no coriander. The food is beautifully prepared and delicately presented and so tasty. The staff were not just professional but warm, chatty and most important attentive. I am about to book this restaurant again for a family Christmas dinner. it's such a treat to have a restaurant of this calibre in Birmingham

The whole experience was brilliant, I had never been to a Mexican restaurant before so was abit skeptical because I'm a fussy eater, But everything was cooked to perfection and was steaming at the bone. We had chicken chipotle and nachos starter, then lamb chops and chicken skewer main with spicy rice and fries. We came as a couple and shared each other's food. The lamb is what my partner got and it as 20 out of 10 absolutely beautiful. The lady's who served us over by the windows where friendly and very helpful. The dancing and music fit perfectly. The seating arrangements perfect. We had an amazing time, Thank you Mayan

Experience The Mayan as part of a Restaurant Tour, it was stop number 2 and one of my favorites. The black and gold decor is beautiful, the gold tree/branches in the center was great. The artwork was amazing, but I would have loved a little more diversity with the pictures. For the tour we got to pick a tapas meal and a drink (alcohol or non). The Guardian cocktail with the spoon of kiwi sorbet was Chef's Kiss. I'm not a gin fan but I want several glasses of this drink. The chicken empanada was seasoned very well and the mole sauce was nice. The table side quacamole was good, I prefer a little more ingredients in my quac, but it was good. The chips that came with it were SO delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed them alone and with the dip. Will definitely return to try out the full menu.

!!!!!!!!!! Avoid at All Costs – Ruined a Special Occasion !!!!!!!!! We recently visited The Mayan restaurant for a very important celebration, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. After eating there, not only myself but everyone in our group got food poisoning, which completely ruined what was supposed to be a memorable evening. The service seemed fine initially, but that doesn't matter when the food quality is so poor that it makes you seriously ill. We had high hopes, but this experience was an absolute nightmare, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If you're planning a special event or even just a meal, I would suggest avoiding The Mayan at all costs. It's not worth the risk.

Today, I had the pleasure of dining at The Mayan restaurant, located in the Mailbox, Birmingham City Centre. The meal was exceptional, featuring a lamb shank that I ordered, while my friend opted for the T-bone steak. Both dishes were of the highest quality and incredibly flavorful. The service provided by our waitress, Prachi, was outstanding—her recommendation to try the lamb shank and T-bone steak was spot on. We also enjoyed delicious starters, including their guacamole with totopos and beef croquettes, which were equally impressive.

Everything was executed beautifully and I really appreciate that the tortillas for the tacos were corn based. The tacos are smaller but we were told that when ordering and the staff were happy to answer any questions we had. The service was great and the cocktails were impressive.

I selected this place as it was the closest Mexican restaurant to the Malmaison hotel. We arrived, no issues with the bar and the drinks, they were quality. We were then taken to a table, one seat was metal with no cushion. The food was poor, I had the pork and it was dry, could have done with a steak knife to cut it. Hefty bill at the end £134 for two which included two alcohol drinks and one soft drink!!! Felt like I was in a nightclub, could hardly hear my niece speak. I won’t be going back. Go to the Viceroy couldn’t fault it. Amazing food and customer service.

My recent dining experience at The Mayan was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the meal was a perfect blend of bold flavors and refined presentation. We began with the scallops and carnitas—both appetizers set the tone for the night. The scallops were tender and seared to perfection, with a delicate balance of freshness and richness, while the carnitas offered a deliciously soft exterior and a succulent, flavourful interior that melted in your mouth. For the main course, we each indulged in the T-bone steak, which was cooked exactly as ordered (medium) with a charred crust and juicy, tender meat. The accompanying sides were just as impressive. The honey-glazed carrots added a subtle sweetness that paired beautifully with the steak, while the truffle Parmesan fries were simply addictive—crispy, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned. The Mayan delivered an unforgettable dining experience with impeccable service, a warm atmosphere, and dishes that struck the perfect balance between creativity and comfort. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a standout meal!

Firstly, can I start by saying that the place is absolutely stunning 😍. The aesthetics are very appealing, and everywhere is a perfect opportunity for a photoshoot. It's impressive! However the food I have to sadly day wasn't for me . Portion sizes are ridiculously small, very pricey, and not amazing in taste at all. There is more detail paid to decor, including on the plate (see ornaments and the board where the minature fajitas are served). Service was good, lengthy waits, so for those reasons, I would return again, but for drinks only

As someone who doesn't regularly go to fine dining places when I first walked into The Mayan last night I was intimidated initially by the luxury- I was catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, and a concoction of feeling underdressed and taken aback by the gorgeous ornate gold and black decorations complimenting the overall theme made us feel overwhelmed for the first few moments of arrival. However, that unease quickly slipped away with the polite and friendly manner of the serving staff (special mention to Elina for her pleasant, gentle and welcoming nature!) and the dining experience as a whole. I tried the brochetas de pollo and the fire & thunder cocktail- the chicken was grilled to perfection and no aspect of the meal felt disconnected- the green chillis, the sweet potato compote and the salad on the side, everything blended together to create a sensory experience that I will not forget- the chefs very evidently care a lot about the food that they provide, and I confidently recommend this place to anyone looking for gorgeous food in a beautiful spot along the canals of Birmingham. The only other comment I can make is that if you're looking for *cheap* decent food in brum this is not the place to go- this is an 'expensive treat worth it to make the right occasion stand out' type of joint.

Came here for a few drinks at the end of an evening. The vibe was incredible, cocktails extremely well thought out, and experience I will definitely look forward to again. The hosts Violeta & Ben were so attentive, insane attention to detail and very observant. Already looking forward to returning and trying the food next time. Thanks for an incredible experience, highly recommend.

We came here for my birthday and I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to try an authentic Mexican cuisine this is the place.Food/ Decor was 11/10. Also we was severed by Ben who gave us the best experience we could have had . As well as making my birthday extra special. He went above and beyond with the service and made great selection from the menu. We will be back definitely.

Quite disappointed in this restaurant. Unnecessarily overpriced for what you receive in portion sizes. This is clearly style over substance. The food was luke warm as if it was left in the window a while, not the correct temperature, plates were not warmed either. We feel The Mayan is trying to be something they're not. If they're charging those prices they should ensure they are on point at all times for all customers with everything!

The food is really nice but the lamb chops were disappointing, barely any meat on them, especially for the price. I wish I had chosen something different. I would recommend going here but not choosing the lamb chops, as they did taste nice but it was tiny for a main. I should have chosen the lamb shank.

We had an absolute blast here last night for our Anniversary, we sampled quite a few of the cocktails which were really delicious and the food from starter to dessert all of the courses tasted amazing! It’s a very warm, friendly and welcoming restaurant and attention to detail is very good and the decor is beautifully done. The staff are wonderful. We even had a little plate at the end of the meal given to us with happy anniversary written in chocolate with a little chocolate biscuit to share. To top the night off we had a shot with the host of the restaurant. We would highly recommend this place it is absolutely stunning!

I didn't feel the food was authentic Mexican and the taco portions were really small. I also got severe food poisoning from this place. Avoid at all costs. Horrible place.

My husband and I have recently been and celebrated our wedding anniversary here, we really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was great, with entertainment put on whilst we enjoyed an amazing range of cocktails at the the bar, prepared by very attentive bar staff who are extremely helpful and happy to chat. The manager was also extremely lovely and more than happy to chat amongst the customers and ensuring they have an enjoyable evening. We would highly recommend the Mayan, an amazing Mexican restaurant. We will definitely be returning very soon.
