Ziryab Executive Buffet in Birmingham

Great food and service 👌 we would love to come again I recommend it to family and friends in Birmingham also West Midlands

World worst restaurant by far. They deliberately put a stone slap in one of the parking bays at there car.park which caused damage to my car. They did not care. Which shows how much they value customers paying £275 like me. Food sub standard too and cold buffet. Avoid if you want your car damaged and a complete bad experience!

El mejor lugar en Birmingham para cenar 100 / Halal Vino con la familia disfrutado de la cena comida china italiana asiática tan buena También hay dulces y helados que valen dinero

Parking is too small for size of restaurant Would prefer another buffet location because of this.

Malgasto de dinero. La comida se cocinó hace 3 días todos nos enfermamos. Nunca vuelvas aquí. Estuvimos ayer por la noche... todavía tenemos ganas de vomitar...

Este es un gran lugar para todo cumpleaños, fiesta, tarde en la noche, citas por la noche, solo por diversión , es un lugar maravilloso totalmente recomiendo Me encanta el lugar buena vista Servicio increíble. Coge comida cuando sea un poco caro 😉❤️❤️

Absolutely waste of money and time. It Looks like food cooked 3dyas ago And it does not deserve even rating under zero. We will never ever come back

Went Saturday at peak time, hence the busyness. Parking was a nightmare that started it off. Then we had to wait 30 minutes to get a seating. The seating area took me back to my school canteen days. Had to push so many chairs and people to go pass and being worried that i dont tip food over others. People queuing for food as they are slow cooking and providing. The things that I enjoyed was Chapli kebab and fish pakora from the starter but the mains were disappointing. The option of desert was great. The temperature of the main eating area was hot and my kids started to get very distressed. I am someone who believes in see it to believe it and was told that this place is nowhere near the other buffet eatery in Birmingham and they were right unfortunately.

Alhamdullilah tasty lamb chops good service

Best buffet in birmingham with good food quality good-friendly staffs, neat and clean environment.Everything is well managed. Everybody need to visit this place .

Loved the food; it was tastier than the other buffet in Birmingham we tried. There were more choices, including Chinese and Italian food sections.

BEST FOOD EVER Lots of variety BUT there are kids running around disturbing me when i go and once a child spat jelly on me whilst they were running

I love the Ziryab Buffet, the have nice food good service, this was my second time taking my family there, and is one off the cheapest place I would recommend. Thanks for the good service I'm a happy client.

i am currently eating here, received a warm welcome from the lady near the reception area who requested a female staff member show me around, she kindly checked in with me as it's my first visit and my not being pakistani i had been apprehensive as to whether or not i would be welcome; however she ensured i felt welcome and at ease; hugely appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻; plate size i found is on the small size and unsure if food is okay to be refilled or whether that's just drinks such as vimto and soda drinks, self service throughout; so far i have had two juice refills and intend to try some ice cream, tried choc mousse and it's good, now tempted to try the blue ice cream - light and airy assumed it would be bubblegum flavour but i can't quite get a distinct taste with which to describe it - just right after a meal - light airy ice cream is welcome

Lovely place as always,great variety ,chinese,Indian,etc. All tastes fresh. Friendly staff,and well organised through covid. Best safety measures I have seen in any food environment, provided us with masks and sanitizer

food good as always. need to bring in new menu. same old menu for nearl yeara

Delicious food, and atmosphere. Front cashier and manager not in the right position maybe they are good for cleaning!

Had an amazing experience and welcomed with a warm heart. Amazing friendly staff and utterly exquisite food. Highly recommend this place!!!

The management is absolutely rubbish. She doesn't know nothing about customer service.

The food was good with a large variety to choose from. The price was more than reasonable considering you get bottomless drinks as well. The seating and atmosphere were nice although it was a little lively. Definitely recommended.

Disappointed horrible food no taste. Restaurant needs upgrading. Drinks are very cheap & nasty. What a waste of time & money.

Food was good. Some items like sheekh kebabs and chapli kebabs were always on the low side. Masala fish was amazing as well as the lamb karahi. There were a lot of options to choose from but not all looked appealing. All in all can't go wrong with the price with drinks included.

Great service from the at Ziryab. We were a party of 37 mix of kids and adults. Samreen was able to accommodate for us and help us be seated (we didn’t all arrive at once). Thanks for the great service and evening!

Outstanding customer service from samreen very polite and very kind

Fabulous buffet and great customer service from samreen Best in birmingham Made us feel welcome

I consider it the best buffet in Birmingham

Food was delicious and fresh considering we came at 9pm. Good value and excellent customer service by Samreen. Thank you 🤩

Brilliant place with the biggest variety of food. I recommend this place to all family and friends. My favourites: Lamb Chops Shami kebabs Meat Bhuna Salads Chips Ice Cream Thanks, guys, for a special service.

chicken pakora was saltier than the dead sea

Excellent stuff very good tasting food I can recommend it.

The quality of the food was really good, authentic south Asian flavours. Would have preferred more options, but happy with what I had. Buffet can complain about service. However, plates took a while to be taken away. Atmosphere was a homely, great place to bring kids. However, if you don't have kids, be prepared for them running all over the place.

I recently had experience to visit this place TBH the temperature was boiling inside the taste was awful 😞 in desserts section The kheer especially was disgusting whole grill section was below avg First ever experience wouldn’t recommend to anyone Lamb paya Was full of hair 🤮

Worst ever buffet experience in my whole life. I will suggest to not waste your hard earned money by visiting this place. No taste No quality No value to money. I wish i could give a negative stars. Could have better experience in this cost somewhere else.

Food not fresh, place are very cold, staff are good .

Lots of choices of food however is limited to 2 countries Staff are kind+ friendly Food is regulary topped up when finished Prices are fair

Went for a visit last night with family absolutely fantastic experience food delicious wit a wide variety. Staff friendly brilliant family atmosphere will definitely visit again worth the drive from Coventry cannot recommend enough.

Ok place food could be better some items were a let down fruits looked out of date

Service was poor. Unattentive staff poorly trained and lacking moral. Would definitely give it a miss next time. Avoid at all costs.

Amazing experience, could rate it 4.2 because of the items, atmosphere and service. Ambience was not that great because of the cozy feel inside, feels like a dhaba hotel.

We are happy to eat with friends. Today was my son (Aqiqa). So I invited my all friends to celebrate my party. My friends are very happy.

Great choice of food and good quality. NEED TO KILL THE WEED IN THE GARDEN.

Atmosphere was warm and cosy and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also have a prayer room, which was useful. Although the Chinese options were nice the rest of the food was disappointing: the starters were too oily, and the Asian dishes were mediocre at best.

My favourite buffet restaurant in Birmingham

My favourite Birmingham Indian buffet. Staff are nice and food is always good!

Average Food. Ambience was average as well.

Went on a Friday evening and surprisingly it wasn't busy. Standards have dropped a lot since I went last time. Starters were mediocre and mains were very average. I've ended up with a stomach bug not sure what it was but definitely from Ziryab . Will I be returning? No chance!!! . If you want nasty food, come over to Ziryab and you'll get free food poisoning as well

It's OK price for the buffet is now £22

Nice cheap buffet however food isn’t all that great. Lacks flavour.

Best buffet in Birmingham all food tastes good and lovely dessert will be back

The food was OK but personally I think due to less foot fall place has dropped slightly it was some wot empty which is a shame place use to be vibrant

Very good food, what ever your looking for, good atmosphere very family friendly and staff are always smiling and happy to help. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

Ma sha Allah nice food best buffet in Birmingham thank to sister Samreen for making our day special

We came for Birmingham balaji temple and we visited this place for buffet and the staff were also friendly and the food was good and unlimited

Drove 90 miles. Worse atmosphere Staff moaning Infront of customers. Staff eating while serving customers, Drinks selections and the desert selection was not worth the price we paid. The drinks and ice cream from my local shop tasted better. Horrible smell Their was an awful stench in the place I Complained to the manager who was busy eating at first, Then after 30 mins was approached again, he was understanding but will never go back again. If you don’t want to disappointed then avoid it

Allahhamduliah i loved this place This is my first time in Ziryab Buffet I loved this food and so yummy Our Muslim Brother and Sister can eat here Everything is halal If you want to pray then you can because they have a separate room for praying The Atmosphere is so good MasaAllah

Disappointed. The focus is more on variety rather taste. Definitely not recommended. It used to be good and I personally been there few times before but now quality is gone done dramatically. On the top they don't accept cards anymore and deals only in cash(which I presume is not legal as well)

It's ok, all the hype just for a normal standard buffet, food is also ok could be better but worth a try.

Very disappointed, the buffet foods had no taste, will not be going there again

Been here few times amazing food, quality and the management is amazing never fail to impress very spacious and they are very friendly and respectful

The food was not good quality or taste. Cold drinks r fake brands specially sprite. And vegetable karelia is not good as well so food 4 out of 10.

Do not waste money and time horrible food only created environment but food taste is terrible. Recommend try zauq buffet which is alooooooooooot better.

Best buffet in Birmingham. A good variety of food Nice family place. We always visit when we go to Birmingham. We travel from Surrey and it's worth it. There is parking. Special thank you to the owner sister Samreen. We will visit again soon.

Nice. Tasty, variety of options

Very good food and less busy and crowded when compared to other buffets I’ve been to

Food was excellent..Taste and quality in high level….

Went on monday at around 6pm,food was so nasty,peri peri chicken was reheated from the day before it was awful,the lamb karahi was so dry meat was so grey from inside definately wasnt cooked fresh,the time before we went was same issue i dont know why i even went back…will never return there again,waste of money…my family didnt enjoy it either,its so downhill now…dont waste your money on food thats so nasty

AVOID THIS PLACE, it has gone so downhill since it opened many years ago. The food was awful, was so bland and not many dessert options at all. Cutlery and plates were dirty. Tables are so close together. Has had the same carpet since it opened which was in 2016. Place has a weird odour. Waste of money

Too much hype and disappointing quality of food. I try to sample a lot of different things in small amounts at a buffet and here's my thoughts: Rice dishes were very dry and tasteless. Spaghetti, pasta etc absolutely bland. Curries had so much oil that the US would invade them anytime soon. Positives: Chapli kebab was out of this world, the standout for me. Lamb chops decent, not too bad. Chicken tikka was nice too. If you focus only on the grill, it's good but overall not worth the money

Best food, best people. Nice staff. Also they have a cool Japanese samurai guy here. He is cool. Samreen is cool.

I visited Ziryab last week and had a great experience overall. The variety of dishes was impressive, and I particularly loved the Chapli Kebab, fish, and lamb chops—they were all flavorful and cooked just right. However, the Biryani was a bit of a letdown, as it was served a little cold and didn't quite match the taste of the other items. Despite that, everything else was excellent, and I would definitely consider going back!

Seated at a dirty table which we had to ask twice to be cleaned , tables are so close to each other hard to walk anywhere , all the popular food in one corner so had to wait ages to get anything, if I had paid cash I would of got refund and left

Atmosphere can be improved more. Plus some facilities for children too. Food was amazing

Good relaxing environment, lot of choice and food was fresh & good quality

Samreen was brilliant in her service .. this place is a must go to.. if there was an option for 7 stars it would have got it

Good place for people to try different foods, good variety of Asian and Chinese dishes

Food is average. Seating area looks like a marriage hall. Buffet charges 22 pounds per person. Shadi hall vibes

First off, the food was incredibly bland and lifeless, like it had been sitting around for days. There was no freshness to any of the dishes, and everything just tasted off. The cramped environment didn’t help either. The tables were packed so tightly together that people kept brushing past, making it hard to enjoy the meal. It felt more like being in a crowded hallway than a restaurant. On top of that, the hygiene was seriously lacking. The cutlery had stains on it, clearly not washed properly, which was really off-putting. The bathroom was in bad shape too—unclean and obviously not looked after. Parking was a nightmare as well. There were barely any spots available, which made getting there even more frustrating.

Possibke one of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Quality of food and flavours are always top notch. Really had great time.

Went as Family of 14 to celebrate exam results, food was excellent quality with huge choice of food for £22 for adults and £11.00 for children it is good value for money. Would highly recommend

Avoid at all cost. Soo many other buffet places in and around Birmingham that offer you more value for your money. My own particular experience was very bad and disappointing that I wont be going again. Was asked to pay our bill upfront 'cash only' without the option of paying by card. Decor was really poor and food was very disappointing. When you charge us £66 for a family of four at least give us half decent cutlery. I mean paper cups for the drinks is just a joke and the drinks variety was all cheap version of the original. Fine they went cheap on the drinks, food, sauces, salad and dessert but at least reflect it on the price. I mean Royal Shalimar is more cheaper than them and their food, service and decor was absolutely amazing.

Plates were dirty food was alright mostly poor hygiene 🤢 and not comfortable environment 🤧 may they get better like zok 🔥

Alot of options for eating but food quality is not the greatest. Taste is ok .

As always, Ziryab Buffet meets high standards with their food and service. There's always a smile on the staff faces, especially the manger Samreen 👍🏾

Great place to experience, nice ample parking, staff is very helpful....sadly like other buffet places 10yr old are considered adults and have to pay full price!

This was my third visit in the last few years and this will be my last. A group of 19 visited for a birthday. Service was fine but the food was average. he restaurant needs a refurbishment as is looking very tired. The food variety was good but main courses are mass produced and lack taste and flavour. There are better options available in the market so spend your cash somewhere else.

The food wasn’t appetising and I felt it mainly consists of the identical bland flavouring.There was no clear specialities either. I have been there before but now quality has gone down hill.

Amazing food was amazing I really like it my second time to come from 50miles Im sure much afghani like zaryab we request add green tea in menu please our afghanis like to have green tea after meal . And im planning to come 3th time

Standard overall more quality food MORE "HEALTHIER FOOD " VERY IMPORTANTLY DESSERTS VERY POOR VALUE AND VARIETY

Unfortunately, we feel a bit catfished by this place. It came up on a few TikTok videos, and we just briefly glanced at the website and decided to go. The large title of ‘fine dining’ stood out and we went for our anniversary dinner. It definitely is not worth it. Food is average to below average. Most things were cold - and almost all of it tasted the same. Positives: drinks are included in the price (local brands - this is a positive for us as we avoid coke due to ties with a certain country). The fish (Masala Cod) - amazing! We basically filled ourselves up on this. Could not fault it. Huge chucks of fish, steaming hot. Parking is available on site and free. There is an attendant who helps you. My husband is a huge meat eater - but he didn’t finish his chops, left the haleem and we couldn’t even attempt a second bite of the namuk gohst. The atmosphere gave me a bit of a two start hotel With all inclusive option. I do not know how to describe it.

If you are planning to go, then DONT. Just some uncle trying to cash out while he can. No quality, no cleanliness, smells, no respect for customers and not worth the money. Very poor quality of food. Just fake reviews on Google. There was a strong smell in the dinning hall. Kitchen doors open. Plates were not clean. Food all tasted the same. I would say that their fish was nice. If compared to other halal buffets in England very poor. No service. Don’t know who the staff are as all dressed casually. Women at reception, seem like she forced to be there. Some chap with a track suit showed us to the table. I was very disappointed. I would like to thank the parking attendant who was very nice and help us park. False advertising! On the website and on Google.

Nice food nice dessert family restaurant loved it we will be back soon Insha Allah

The food, atmosphere and staff are all great. I highly recommend it.

Really disappointing and very poor. Have been going there for years and it's progressively got worse. Food just tastes bland. For £22 per head I expect more than just variety which no doubt there is plenty. But food quality is poor, chicken tikka, chicken wings and peri peri all taste and look the same just different parts of the chicken. Main course I feel like the chefs don't know how to cook, it's so tasteless. Nihari doesn't taste like nihari, haleem doesn't taste like haleem, lamb karahi was awful. Will not be going back sadly.

waste of money. Don’t come by viewing the ratings only. Starter, main course is absolutely awful. On the chinese section its more tasteless. Some deserts are good only. Not enough staff to clean the table or look after the guests. Atmosphere is quite dark,which doesn’t suit the atmosphere. Flush doesn’t work on of the toilets. Most awful thing is prayer room is just opposite of mens toilet. Absolutely waste of money. Never coming back again. Not recommended.

Food was not fresh and not tasty.

Food was incredible, Samreen made us feel welcome and was a 10/10 experience, thank you :)

This place took me by surprise, I have been to many buffets and this is absolutely out standing. The service is great the people are soo welcoming and friendly and I have to say I was greeted by a lady called samreen which made me and my brother feel soo welcome and she made us feel very comfortable being white males which is a very special thing to me. Samreen went above and beyond showing us the wide variety of food explaining what foods recommended and what food was the most popular and explaining what all the names of the foods were. The best part samreen done for us was showed us gulab jaman with vanilla ice cream. I have to say I don’t personally normally eat desserts but samreen recommended me to try it and I have to say it was unreal and I have even came back and had this dessert again. The food was soo fresh and the chefs were all very welcoming and offered us some lamb chops that were out of the world the meat just melted in my mouth. The Chinese food is also amazing the fresh cooked chow mein is perfect and the chef that cooks it for you is very friendly. Me and my brother enjoyed this whole place that much we even came back 2 days later to have another meal and I will be bringing my family and friends to this out standing place. You will not find a better buffet restaurant around. Well worth every single penny. I just wanted to say a big thank you to samreen for making us feel so welcome and comfortable.

After looking at the recent reviews on this restaurant I still decided to go ahead and try the restaurant and I wish I didn’t. The food was absolutely awful, I started with the kebabs which were very dry and very bland, the chicken wings were ok, the shami kebabs again were awful after that I decided not eat anymore. I tried the desserts which were quite good and that’s all I can say. Won’t be going again definitely

I would not say this is somewhere where I would like to go or take my family or even recommend as I didn't really like the food I thought it was average as now we have royal shalimar I think that has taken over any buffet place in Birmingham.
