I've been visiting Magic Cafe for years and always loved it, telling everyone I know about it. Home cooked foods, great selection of salads etc but, sadly, portion sizes have reduced so much that the last two times I've been my partner and me both left hungry and at around £12 for a plate of food this should not be happening. I even heard the girl who was dishing up being told that she was putting too much food on someone's plate! We went to the covered market and paid £7.95 for a large plate of hearty Greek vegetarian food that was delicious and satisfying. It really saddens me to say this, but I won't be returning as I really don't think it's value for money any more.

Came in for a coffee got served by a nice young gentleman so decided to leave a tip, only to find out that all of the tips earned go straight into the managers pocket.

Really cute cafe with great food. I always come with my friends for the Breakfast Burrito (only available on weekdays), which is a winner- one of the best vegan breakfast-style wraps I've had. I've also had the cakes and they're great too.

Unfortunately, Bacaro got it all wrong for our visit. The place was quiet when we entered with only 2-3 tables occupied by couples. An initial comment was made by one of our party, I am paraphrasing here, "It can't be very good if it's this quiet on a Saturday night!", which was subsequently proven correct. We were seated and a drinks order taken, with some ambiguity surrounding whether or not we could order certain drinks. Nevertheless, the waitress returned with our ordered drinks and took our food order. One member of our party chose to have 2 starters for her main, which we requested be brought with the rest of the meals, they were not. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we waited for the rest of the mains to arrive, all pizzas, which seem to take an inordinate amount of time to prepare and cook, given that there were not many people in the restaurant at the time. As a side note at this point, two further couples had come and gone, before we had received our mains! With all of this set aside, a good meal can make up for the poor service, however, that was not to be the case. The food quality was very poor, making it seem like this was the first time the chef had attempted to make pizzas. Tasteless and doughy! It really was a poor effort all round. The whole experience was compounded by the negative, dismissive and quite frankly rude, response to our complaints, by the owner/head chef. It was amateur at very best and not a experience that I will partake in again. Many better restaurants down the Cowley Road to visit.

If you like ice cream, waffles, milkshakes this is the place to come. Large shop on cowley road with friendly staff and a good menu with lots of options if you want to supersize a milkshake for instance.

We have been to Q tea in Pershore St. Birmingham twice now and it’s without doubt the best bubble tea we’ve found anywhere in the West Midlands by far. My family and I are bubble tea afficianados, having had great ones in Malaysia since 2019.

Passby this restaurant at night and it was buzzing. So we decided to come back for breakfast. Glaaaaad we did so! Food was really good, chai was great. Staffs were super nice and friendly. This is definitely my to-go place for breakfast and snacks. Love the deco, and of course being halal is the deal breaker (:

The sushi was disappointing, lacking any real freshness or flavour, and the noodles were equally underwhelming—overcooked and far too bland. Overall, not an enjoyable experience, and I wouldn’t recommend it if you're after quality Japanese cuisine.
