Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

This is the first time I have visited Shahs restaurant in Acocks Green, I must say the waiters were very attentive and friendly as they never failed to impress me. I also ordered a Tandoori chicken Special with nan bread for my main course I must say it was packed with flavour and spice which again never failed to disappoint.

We have visited this restaurant on several occasions now and each time, we have not been disappointed. The cuisine favours healthy eating and all the ingredients are fresh and cooked in the minimum of oil. The chefs can be viewed busy cooking in the kitchen and the modern dining style, together with a friendly service completes a very enjoyable eating experience. A "little gem" in Acocks Green. Highly recommended. Oh, and you can take your own alcohol as well!

Went on a saturday night, thoroughly enjoyed the food but the evening was spoilt by rude bad mannered staff. They continually told us to leave by 9.30pm as there was another sitting. They were moving chairs and tables around us whilst we were eating. Spent £80.00 on our meal refused to leave a tip.

Sorry to go against other reviews but, food was tasteless, portions small, mezza was especially poor value. To round it off waiting staff just plain rude i.e moving tables around you while you are still eating. Won't be going back!

Why is everyone raving about Tin tins? Me and my friend went there the other day, and it was the worst Chinese meal we'd ever had. The menu is awful - boring descriptions. We ordered different mains and yet the sauce (I'm sure) was the same in each! gloopy and very disappointing. Meat very chewy. Could have made better at home sorry to say. Old fashioned decor and big screen playing youtube videos..?! No thanks.

excellant food and all round service

I visited your pub on Saturday the 19th Nov there were 4 of us and we all ordered food. I ordered chicken keiv when i took a bit out of the chicken it was hard and there was no butter on the inside as it had been cooked to a hard lump (i was given a money refund for this but totally spoilt our day. My son had the mixed grill and said it tasted as if it had all been cooked in dirty FAT. He was hungry so carried on eating. I have been in pain all weekend as the chicken that I bit into broke part of my tooth off and now I have the added expense of seeing a dentist!! I chose the H

I booked a table at 7.45 on 12/11/11. A table for 4 for a birthday celebration for people who don't live in Birmingham. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy. At 8.15 I eventually caught the eye of the waiter and ordered some drinks, (wasn't actually serving customers just floating around the place), he was very brusque and didn't listen to our order and we had to repeat is several times. At 8.35 no one had taken our order although people had arrived after us and had received theirs. We decided to leave, as we got up the waiter came over and laughed loudly in our faces!!! I approached the bar area, where 2 waitresses were enjoying a drink and a chat and offered to pay for the drinks we had had, they seemed unsurprised that we were leaving, the manager came over, he gave us free drinks but didn't offer apologies or to change the situation. We were upset and embarrassed by the rudeness of the staff. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone and certainly wont be back for more humiliation.

11 of us went to a family birthday at Duet Cosine. I have to say the staff were friendly and professional from the time we arrived even down to taking our coats which is a gesture which is rare to find now. The service was of a high standard and even though we didn't have to wait ages for our food it tasted beautiful and fresh. We all had starters and mains with drinks and the bill averaged £17 each which was very good. Everyone commented on how good the food was and we will definitely be visiting again. A lovely relaxed atmosphere.

The food was exquisite. The service was brilliant and the portions are very generous. I went for a birthday and the staff were very friendly and helped out with cakes and drinks. I am actually going back next week. Definitely recommended.

The food was absolutely rubbish i ordered some meat samosas and they tasted like vomit,

First time I have been to Annexe had a good time food was very good cant wait to go back again.

Went for the first time Saturday night with my partner and our friends four of us in total. From ringing up to book to the treatment when you arrive very professional and courteous. Lovely atmosphere and great surroundings. The food was fabulous would recommend to anyone had the sea bass, cooked perfectly and generous portions, the cannelloni went down well as did the scallops and the veal. Nice wine and the owner was great company. Must try restaurant. Frances

The BEST cafe in erdington...food always good and piping hot...good value for money and staff are quick and pleasant...the boss brendon is around most days doing everything he can to help. If there is a problem which trust me is rare then he sorts it straight away. I go a few days a week just wish i could go everyday x em x

they charge you for the poppadoms even when you don't ask for them

enjoyed a lovely Sunday afternoon meal just recently

As a lover of Chinese food and being Asian myself, i feel i have the knowledge to review such a brilliant restaurant. The atmosphere was buzzing in the centre of the multi cultural city. As i arrived at the breathtaking welcome from ken ho himself i felt privileged to shake such a well known business mans hand. As i sat down with my complimentary prawn crackers i was greeted by a young waitress called Kristy, she was very polite and advised us to have the hot pot, which in itself was a splendorous meal. The fusion of different flavours of the sea complimented each other well and i couldn't ask for much more... apart from whats on the desert menu. i ordered the banana fritters with ice cream. ORGASMIC!

love their 3 for 2 promotion, good value for money ! will enjoy the meal at a cheaper price
