The best restaurants serving Arabian food in Birmingham West Midlands

Superb tasting dishes, spicing was perfect, lovely moist meat, perfect amount of sauce.The rice was perfect with each grain separate,was stunning. Lovey indulgent sweet to end and cleanse palate.Packaging was perfect size for contents. Promote yourself more please,was wonderful cooking. Thank you so much.

He estado usando este restaurante por más de 25 años. La comida nunca deja de deleitarme. Gran relación calidad-precio para porciones generosas de pescado. Puede ser ruidoso los viernes, pero eso solo aumenta el ambiente. Buen personal. Pruebe el té de menta y pasteles después de la cena delicioso.

Excellent value for money with very good portion size. Food is also decent.

First time here. Ime going to Morocco next month so tried this restaurant. Exerlant food and service could not fault it in anyway great value for money £20 each 2 courses. Definitely going to return

I recently dined at Shiraz Restaurant in Birmingham and had an outstanding experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with lovely Persian decor. The food is amazing, especially the fresh and tasty hummus. I also enjoyed the chenje (lamb skewers) and koobideh (kebab). Portions are generous and offer great value for money. The staff were courteous and helpful, making the dining experience even better with their excellent recommendations. To top it off, they offered us a complimentary ferni dessert, which was a delightful end to the meal. Overall, Shiraz Restaurant is a fantastic place for delicious Persian food in a friendly setting. Highly recommended!

Service was really top notch, the man on the door who served us was a real credit to the restaurant, I could not applaud him enough. As for the food? Meh. I had a chat puri for a starter and it was absolutely swimming in sauce, it virtually made the dish inedible. For main, i had a paneer masala and a peshwari naan. The masala was okay, but just not enough sauce or paneer, especially compared to offerings from rival restaurants. The peshwari naan was bland with the overwhelming taste being of charcoal throughout too. Not good at all. Overall? It was okay, 3/5, helped by the waiting staff, but the food is nothing that local restaurants like the Covered Wagon/Millennium Balti/Sweet Chillies don't do ten times better. To add, a starter, main, naan and bottle of coke cost me £25. Definitely not value for money.

Not as clean as other big johns unfortunately

Grabbed lamb shabk other day for takeaway despite asking for specialitues & which is most recommended as never been there, j was given salty, chewy lamb that threw majority away plus rice wasn't thatgrrat either Called to raise concerns the female assistant simply wad just a liar no 9ne bothered to call me back despite saying yes we have your contact 15 quid down drain AVOID AVOID AVOID this place simple as that

It was so good!! Second time I’ve been and I love the food. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They had good service

We were in Birmingham with the family for a small get away! I did some research on halal food places to try whilst there and Tru Burger came up. After reading all the good reviews on here, we were really looking forward to it. Got there the diner looked good and the staff were friendly. The starters were nice, we got lamb chops and Mac an cheese sticks and that’s where it stops! The mains were disappointing, the burger looked good but when trying to eat it was very sloppy, too much sauce and everything just fell out. The chips were soaking in oil! Tru Burger brand setup is good, they just need to improve the delivery and quality of food!

The overall experience was okay, but not great or something that i would recommend. The meats were average. Big variety of sides. What i didn’t like was the service… They need to work on that more. A lot of waiters running around just looking busy. They need to have 2 or 3 tables to look after constantly. We got seated but had no tableware ready ( i think that’s the first thing to have when seating someone right?) we waited for it 15 mins and ended up taking the plates, fork and knives ourselves from their cupboard…and at that time it wasn’t busy at all. Per total the waitress approached only once for the whole stay and it was at the beginning. I asked for assistance twice and no one approached. When paying the bill, the service fee was already included and they asked if we want to tip more…ummmm noo for this awful service.

Amazing food and very very excellent service by Safi

Food is second to none, pure old school Asian dishes, simple and nothing fancy. Meat and Chicken Shatkora highly recommended

Yes the food looks nice but hair was found in drink and immediately after eating the waffle me and my friend was unfortunately sick. Wouldn’t recommend going to the one in shirley

I recently had a disappointing experience at Big John's. The service was slow, and my order took much longer than expected. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and not very flavorful. The staff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in addressing any concerns. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied and unlikely to return. I hoped for a better experience, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations.
