The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Solihull West Midlands

i like to help out a small business. very friendly staff that made me feel very welcome. high quality food that tasted very good.

We visited Black Orange on the strength of the reviews on Google and Trip Advisor when searching for the “best places for coffee in Solihull”, and I’m pleased to report that the reviews are accurate! It’s just off Mell Square, almost opposite where the street entrance to M&S used to be. The website looks like it’s under construction as it doesn’t have much information, which is a shame, as having a few photos on there would certainly encourage more people to find it, but don’t let that put you off. We were both impressed with how pleasant it is in there. There are a couple of tables outside on the pavement, where I sat and waited for my friend to arrive, and then we ordered and sat upstairs and the drinks were brought up to us. All staff members were smiley, very polite, friendly and helpful. There is a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, including some bottled drinks in the fridge, and they have a range of fruit teas including peach tea and even some more unusual Thai flavours. We had a latte and a decaf flat white, both were well presented in glass cups, served on cork mats. Both the caffeinated and the decaf coffees looked and tasted lovely with no bitterness and no need for sugar. We were so comfortable that we stayed for a second drink, and this time I had the frappe matcha latte and a traditional bun with butter, which was served warm. It was nice, like a sweet tasting bread and the butter had melted inside. There is a nice selection of savoury snacks and desserts and I have already decided that I will try the mango cheesecake next time. The reviews are right, it is immaculately clean, the atmosphere is busy but chilled, and it was a very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours. There was some tasteful background music, which added to the ambience without being obtrusive, being played on good quality speakers which sounded great. There was a steady stream of customers, of mostly young couples with one or two well behaved children. I could be mistaken, but there doesn’t appear to be a lift to access the upper level, and there are some bar stools in the window downstairs, and so it’s not particularly pushchair- or wheelchair- friendly, unless you sit at the tables outside. I like to support independent businesses and this one does a great job of looking after its customers. I definitely recommend it and will happily return. Thank you!

Had a great time here! The staff were hospitable, friendly and caring. I recommend and will be back

Love it here! The team are so friendly and can’t do enough to help. We regularly have Saturday breakfast here. They do from full cooked to sandwiches and tea cakes and all is beautifully cooked and great value. The new patio seating means you can enjoy the sun too.

Popped in out of rain whilst out cycling for a quick coffee (take away only). Very friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent coffee and snacks, highly recommended for cyclists drop in

We have been using Tastes of Britain for a while and it is in a lovely spot, where you can watch the world go by and serves a wide range of gins along with cheese and meat platters. Inside the shop there is a larger selection along with other spirits. Great for a light lunch and a take away gin.

It’s an amazing place to be with your friends. We truly enjoyed the food and top rated service in budget .

We had breakfast for my friends birthday today. The restaurant manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was perfect!

Burnt sausages every time I go. Unwelcoming owner. I only ever use here if buckleys is closed.

I love this place. The pastries are the best as is the coffee. Perfect for a quick visit before train or even when you're not catching a train! Dog friendly too.
