The best restaurants in Birmingham West Midlands

Visited with my partner and sad to say it was very poor quality. The potatoes were very small with floppy skins not baked at all. I had cheese and beans which I left most of it and my partner had bolognese. Both were small servings and not very warm. My partner had a really upset somach within about half an hour and felt really ill. We had to go home. Whilst we were in there at least another 3 customers remarked at the poor quality and left their food uneaten. Sorry but will not be visiting again.

Wow, ¿qué puedo decir, qué servicio increíble, comida y ambiente, y todo fresco. Visitamos hoy 5 adultos, 1 niño y 1 bebé. El personal no podía haber hecho más para que nos sintiéramos cómodos y bienvenidos y hicieron tanto alboroto de mi nieta pequeña. No vamos a Birmingham muy a menudo, pero ahora sentimos que lo estaremos, solo para visitar aquí. Incluso los baños son una experiencia🤣🤣🤣 muy limpio con todas las comodidades mod. Si estás en Birmingham tienes que visitar.

Super happy with our personalised order of cupcakes for our business event! Massive thanks to Maz for putting together the tasty cupcakes at short notice, even with personalised branding, they really help make the event. Thank you!

Recientemente descubrimos Neo Café cuando nuestro lugar de desayuno regular estaba cerrado, y que agradable sorpresa fue! Esta acogedora cafetería, con solo un puñado de mesas, ofrece un ambiente cálido e íntimo. Ambos optamos por el desayuno inglés completo, y fue absolutamente lugar en. El tocino era particularmente increíble, y los precios eran increíblemente razonables. El personal era encantador y acogedor, haciéndonos sentir como en casa. Sin duda volveremos!

Un restaurante pequeño y encantador con un personal muy agradable. La comida fue entregada en tiempo y forma y fue bonito, pero nada espectacular. El menú de bebidas también era bastante limitado. Volvería en su nuevo disfraz como la naturaleza, pero no en su actual precio ya no creo que lo merezca. Fuimos a este restaurante justo antes se cambió el nombre de la siguiente recomendación.

Elio is a fantastic coffee spot with a cozy vibe, amazing coffee/food and a friendly atmosphere. Anis is always a pleasure to speak with and goes above and beyond with creative drink suggestions. Great service and delicious drinks :)

Great coffee , quite ambience , open space , quite , nice service , very reflective space - big open windows let the sun through - and especially it’s Indonesian - what a rare gem

Decided to visit this establishment as an overdue Valentine’s Day meal with my girlfriend following some great reviews on trip advisor. Unfortunately, it did not live up to its expectations. There were only two members of staff on (who you could see were really rushed off their feet so we did feel somewhat sorry for - they were evidently trying their best). However, an hour and a half wait for nice but cold food was a bit far. During that time nobody came to offer further drinks or to check on us. We were served the meal without cutlery (by the chef?!), which again we had to wait further for. Nobody checked that we were enjoying our meal (or even returned upstairs), if they had, we would have informed them it was cold. Our second round of drinks 2 hours after the first arrived with the wrong drinks order. The decor is lovely however upstairs was cold and there was no music. The establishment certainly has the potential to be great but our experience was very much the opposite to that otherwise described on here.

Absolutely fabulous staff, nothing is too much trouble. Even offered to go to the shop for us to get drinks. We were presented with a lovely cake at the end for our party to share. Each of us received a hug on entering as though we were old friends - fantastic. The food is very good and very reasonable.

Gran auténtica comida malaya, ambiente encantador, una verdadera joya de un restaurante, muy recomendable con un menú siempre cambiante de entrantes, platos principales y postres.

Very friendly staff. The breakfasts were very tasty even the veggie one which was the sausage was really nice and flavoured. Will deffo visit again when up in cotteridge at brekkie time

My first ever cooking class (a birthday gift) and what a delightful experience it was! Monica send you an email prior the class to detail how to find the premises. Monica was extremely personable and quickly picked up on everyone’s name without asking twice. The class was seamless in delivery (massive shout out to Andy!) Monica was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable and I definitely came away with tips that I can use at home when cooking. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking onto another class.

Unbelievable food so good. Worth travelling to Birmingham for. Even if you live in Scotland lol.

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!
