The best restaurants in West Midlands

It's a takeaway. I ordered a delivery, didn't take long, half an hour or so, not particularly expensive, not bad. Sadly I would have rated it five stars back in 2019 - they used to use high quality burgers like you'd get at the local butcher, now they're about the same as everyone else, not as bad as McD but decidedly average. They used to have bacon as an option on the burger but no more, maybe they've streamlined and have stuff pre-prepared - the chicken wrap certainly seems to be that way since 2020. Chicken wrap used to be irregular shaped chunks of high quality chicken breast beautifully grilled, hand rolled wraps, which admittedly didn't stay together as easily as these new compressed, pre-made things - with whatever salad you want on it. Now they're sad, perfectly uniform tubes of chicken, lettuce and mayo. The chicken's crispy though, which is kind of nice, but the stuff they used to grill in the good old days was just bare breast. So to speak. Don't get me wrong, it all tastes fine, but it feels a bit bait and switch, like the t-shirts and modern business practice in general i.e. have high quality hand made products and get five star reviews, then lessen the quality of materials and the preparation and uniqueness - speed up the output and maximise profit. It's fine, it's OK quality, it's just no longer five stars sadly. Perhaps it was a change in management in 2020, or it's just profit driven. Maybe they weren't making enough money. I don't know if they're no longer on the apps in general or if they go on and off the apps depending on if there's enough walk-in demand, but I couldn't order via app today so did a phone order. They didn't ask for my card details but fortunately I had cash on me. I'm sad to say all this, because they were so good pre 2020, but this practice of profit over quality (assuming it is a practice and not just a change in management) is just plain wrong. Having said all that, if you've previously enjoyed food from there since 2020 and you're wondering if it's still as nice as it was - it is.

the food at kebab ye was amazing and i rate it 10/10. the staff treat you with great customer service. i definitely recommend this to everyone.

We drove by Wilda’s today with no plan of stopping but I am soooo glad we did!! My husband had the giant Yorkshire filled with roast beef and the trimmings. He thought it was so good and really hit the spot on this chilly day. Everything in it was delicious!! I had the jacket potato with chilli and cheese and it was perfection. Thank you Wilda’s for such a delicious meal and you have definitely gained two new customers! I’ll tell everyone I know about this.

I love this Cafe , the food is amazing. The price is amazing. The quality of the food is above expectations. It has cozy environment and nice staff

Talk about services with a smile! The staff are lovely and the food is amazing no matter what you order...Couldn't recommend enough. I have also had Castle snax cater for an event my small business held and I couldn't fault them!! Thanks Girls

I had the pleasure of sampling Kodawari during a visit to Caffeine & Machine and it was absolutely sensational. I had the Teriyaki Beef loaded fries and the Katsu Chicken sando (sandwich). Everything was just perfect, absolutely no criticisms at all. The chicken was divine - not too moist but not dry either, right in the sweet spot with quality meat clearly used. The beef was also great - sometimes Teriyaki can be an overpowering flavour but it was again, spot on. I now actively look for when Kodawari is at C&M, cannot wait to eat there again!

Absolutely amazed. Beautiful pizza. I'm Italian and it tasted like home. Lovely delivery chap. So polite. I shall definitely be back! Gorgeous well done!

A delightful meal after a session with the guys at Brandon marsh, ate with my son, nephew and sister. Nothing was too much trouble. Attentive staff, fair prices for the lovely food on offer. Sausages particularly to die for. Plentiful portions for children especially. Will definitely be back for sure. Gorgeous view of the birds whilst dining added to the wonderful lunch. Thank you!

Love the bread here and great pastries. They are expensive but you get quality. Recommend the rhubarb danish and the cinnamon whirl.

Very nice breakfast at a good price very friendly and very clean so you want a great hot breakfast give it a go lots of room and very clean toilets

What a great bar, Good prices, nice selection of drinks and top quality service, what more could you need

Had intentions and eagerness to visit Kiki’s for the first time after finding it online. Drinks were lovely. Mocha was a perfect warming beverage for the rainy day. Partner enjoyed his tuna panini soo much he ordered another! Staff are incredible and comforting when speaking to. A friendly environment with the occasional doggies!

Excellent experiance overall this is my main lounge i use would well recommend this place well worth a visit. The food is amazing and the food is worth trying everything has changed dramtically compared to the old decor and the service is brilliant

Was very early for a business meeting and stumbled across this gem. Such a chilled atmosphere, quite possibly the best tea drinking experience i've ever had! So much so I've contacted them directly to find out exactly what I was drinking! Will definitely re-visit next time i'm in Birmingham! Thanks Guys!
