The best restaurants in Ladywood Birmingham West Midlands

Lovely server Ady, great beard and french. Would come again!

The food is always very impressive, topped off with excellent friendly service. A real credit to Birmingham town

The service was fast and friendly!!

Some of the food was lovely and some was not, but very disappointed with the service. Perhaps they look down on customers that have bought groupons but we felt we were treated dismissively and many waiting staff didnt seem bothered with us. This is disappointing because we were looking forward to the 7 course tasting menu which I bought for my wife as a mothers day treat and this was our first return to Adams since we came when they first opened. Our meal started off well with snacks and a first course of langoustine and asparagus mousse which was probably the best course. The next 3 courses were pleasant and I was looking forward to course 5 which was longhorn beef. I wanted to get a glass of red to go with this so asked the waiter for the wine list but after 5 minutes I realised he wasn't coming back. I asked another waiter and explained what happened and was hopeful as he walked off. He then seemed to pour water for people on every table whilst in the meantime the beef course had arrived. He then appeared with the wine list somewhat pleased with himself. I was a bit annoyed but politely said not to bother since I didn't want my food to go cold. He then returned a minute later with a glass of argentinian cabernet franc i had not asked for (not what i would have picked to go with beef i had wanted bordeaux but it was fine) but I thought a lovely gesture to comp this to sort things out and the beef was good. The next dish was a predesert of grapefruit prosecco granola which had a horrid bitter metallic lingering aftertaste so we both left this and had barely any of it. The staff did not ask why we hadnt eaten it when they collected it. Didnt seem to care. The rhubarb desert was ok but still seemed to have a slight metallic aftertaste perhaps lingering from the dish before I can't be sure. So we had enjoyed 5 of the 7 courses and one was most unpleasant. I should have known better but thought why not try the cheese for £25. I had expected a cheese board so perhaps should have read the description closer but it did say one was semi-hard. What we got was three ramekins of nondescript blended cheesy goo with crackers that fall apart as you try to eat them so a bit disappointing. When I got the bill I checked it and we had been charged an extra £30 for 2 glasses of cabernet franc. So not only had they charged us for the wine that seemed to be comped - they had tried to overcharge us. I called the waiter over and explained that I had only had 1 glass, had thought this had been complimentary and outlined the problems from earlier of the 2 waiters going AWOL (neither had apologised) when I asked for the wine list. He went off and returned some time later saying that he had removed the cabernet franc from the bill but no apology for trying to overcharge me or the problems we had. By now I was livid and ought to have refused to pay the £37 service charge but was polite and paid up since one of the girls who served us was very good. I can't see myself ever going back to Adams based on this experience.

Always a great night at the Restaurant with high-quality food, very attentive service from the students who are learning, and amazing value for money for AA Rosette food from the city’s future chefs. The 3-course meal also includes a free snack and a pre-dessert, making it 5 courses plus warm sourdough from their in-house bakery. Highly recommended.

Shawarma and Falafel are arguably the best in the city center and highly recommended.

The food was amazing and our server Hisan was even more amazing. Attentive , friendly and gave us great recommendations according to our taste. Would 100% come again.

Probably the best meal I've had in Birmingham. Interesting, inventive and most importantly delicious food and lively attentive and knowledgeable service.

I recently visited this Eritrean restaurant with a group of seven, including three kids, and we had an amazing time. The food was a delightful adventure as we explored Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine for the first time. The person in charge was incredibly patient, explaining the dishes, making adjustments to suit our preferences/queries, and offering helpful recommendations. We also ended our meal with a traditional coffee experience that was rich and flavorful—highly recommended for coffee lovers. The entire meal was reasonably priced, leaving us full and satisfied. The atmosphere was welcoming, with clean facilities and convenient parking just a short walk away. We also appreciated how the host took some extra time to chat about their culture and language, also asking us about our own background and in overall making it a truly warm and inviting experience. He also gave us to try a bit of the Eritrean Zibib liqueur so next time we know what else we can order. Service/food was a bit on the slow side but we were not in a rush anyways, Maybe some sort of starters could be recommended to fill that gap? Not a big problem anyways we truly enjoyed the experience. I think we were lucky the place was not busy but I hope they are prepared for when it gets crowded and can cope with higher demand. I'll definitely be happy to repeat the experience.

Lovely space to go with great coffee and a fun soft play for kids. Perfect for my two year old. Very cheap too relative to other places so fantastic value for money

Called in for a pizza last night just as it was closing the gent working there was really pl was want and there was no issue even thought it was later . The pizza was fantastic I even asked for an extra topping after the initial order again no issue with my request he didn’t even charge me for it . The pizza was absolutely amazing highly recommend this place .

So I prefer this branch to the Bennett’s Hill one 😅! The service was so friendly, food arrived really quick, and we were told about the extra free additions you could add onto the pizza like fresh garlic. We got the two specials - the leek and friarielli one was my favourite, the flavours were so complex and perfectly matched. Only small complaint was the Capocollo and Leek pizza was very salty after a few slices, I wouldn’t be able to eat even half a pizza myself. Definitely need something to counter that saltiness! As for the drinks, would highly recommend the Morello Cherry spritz!

I loooove Impression. The variety is amazing—you can do ramen, stir fry, dumplings, and any other thing you could be craving. They’re always so sweet, as far as service goes. I visit Birmingham once in a while and I go to Impression every time. Highly recommend the pork belly steamed buns. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!

Great service this morning by Vini and Sophie.

Friendly service and the drinks are exceptional and inexpensive and compares better than competitors!
