The best restaurants in West Midlands

The best Caribbean food in Brim!! Authentic, real food.

Had a sandwich here in the summer and I still think about it to this day. Probably the best sandwich of my life.

Very tasty wings, highly recommend, tried them for the first time, will definitely be going back

Lovely service and amazing pizza will be our new pizza place to order from, they will even accommodate to our personal needs ie extra sauce can’t say a bad word

Amazing food, Great prices and the guy who works there is very nice Ma Shaa Allah.

Beef was perfectly cooked and tender. Rice was just how I like it. Service was prompt and courteous & I'll be back again soon! Thank you for the meal.

Very nice food but some huge red flags the last couple of times we came here, it's certainly gone downhill! Tonight was a disaster - adding extra items into the bill, stale poppadoms, huge waiting times as they prioritise delivery orders and a hidden 10% tip service charge for 2 people. Given it's already the most expensive Indian restaurant in the area, it's hard to justify the price. Having been a regular for a while I won't be back anytime soon which is a shame as I like supporting places like this but at the end of the day there are many better value options in Kings Heath

Simpsons is a Birmingham institution. It's always been good but it's just got a lot better. Went for lunch for my wife's birthday. We have been before all be it not since lockdown. The food drinks and service were all outstanding it's definitely upped it's game. A must visit. This restaurant is outstanding 👏

Very disappointing experience. The salad was completely soaked, clearly having sat in a fridge for several days, and tasted off. The naan bread wasn’t fresh either, dry from being pre-cooked. As for the tikka sauce, it was the worst I’ve ever tasted—and I’ve had countless over the years. It’s frustrating to write this after paying good money for a meal, but I won’t be returning.

The food is fantastic, absolutely amazing. I’ve ordered from here twice & both times have been great. Probably the best Korean food I’ve ever had. HOWEVER, there was an issue with my order & I called to let cocobab know. Initially they said there was nothing they could do. Then I spoke to the chef who said they would bring the items missing from my meal which was very kind of him. I called a few minutes later to let them know they should leave it and it would be a waste to bring the item over. But I was informed the chef had already left. When the chef arrived he practically threw the food at me before rolling his eyes & stomping off. The food is fantastic but the chef’s behaviour was unacceptable for that they get 4stars. But once again the food is great.

Loved the food, especially lamb Mandi and lamb soup. Tasted so fresh with generous portions and good prices!

Friday 27th September 2024. My husband’s cousin Roger and his wife Janine came to visit us in Birmingham and go to lunch. We went to ‘McKee’s Brassiere’ at Haig’s Hotel in Balsall Common. We arrived for 1.00 pm and were shown to a nice table for four in the restaurant by Jeanette. The restaurant itself is light, bright and airy with a lovely dining area, where we were seated on this bright sunny afternoon. The place was lovely and the staff were bright and welcoming especially Coleby who waited on us and was very professional in everything she did for us. We had the three course set lunch menu, which was very good value. We had an amuse bouche of tomato soup served with home-made bread, which was really warming and nice, a good beginning for our lovely meal. We had starters; My husband had haddock and trout pate served with Melba toast and butter. Roger had the cheese tart served with chutney. Janine had the watermelon, feta, pomegranate and pecan nut salad, which she said was delicious. I had the chicken liver pate with cranberry apple chutney and served with Melba toast, which was really delicious. The starters were just the perfect size to get the palate started. For our main courses: Janine and My husband had the Chicken Ballotine, chicken breast filled with chives, leeks and pancetta. Served with coarse grain mustard sauce and a stuffed cabbage parcel filled with potato which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes), which he both said was delicious. The chicken just melted in the mouth. Roger and I had the Vegetable Wellington filled with camembert, beetroot and spinach with a sweet potato and mushroom sauce, which was served with a dish of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red cabbage and roast potatoes, which we both thought was delicious. The dishes arrived together and were very hot and very well presented. We washed all this lovely food down with sparkling spring water for Roger and Janine. A pint of ‘Doombar’ bitter for my husband and a nice large glass of rose wine for me. We all had desserts: My husband had the apple crumble with creamy custard. Roger had the lemon posset with berries, which he said was delicious. Janine and I had the Chocolate Marquise with cappuccino ice cream, which was really delicious and it was lovely and light and the perfect finish to our meals. We had tea and coffees afterwards; My husband had a pot of tea. Roger had black coffee. Janine and I had a de-caffeinated coffee with milk, these came with a selection of petite fours, which were a nice finish to our lovely meal. Afterwards we all felt well fed and content.

do not order the halwa puri. Tastes nothing like halwa puri. The halwa is gooey/watery and tasteless. The puri is almost like a roti it was that bad. really dissapointed as there karak chai is nice so thought i’d try the halwa puri. wrong decision to try it as it was abysmal

Pathetic service, the lady working in the morning didn’t seem interested and was rude. We came in as a large group of 12 people and the restaurant was empty but the way she spoke to us seemed like she was unhappy that she had to serve us instead of doing nothing. Anytime I asked her anything about the menu, she seemed upset and her response didn’t help us with the order. First ever visit and definitely the last only because of the lady. Owners should look into to her attitude.
