Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

SERVICE, FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE ALL EXCELLENT, MADE TO FEEL VERY WELCOME ALTHOUGH WE HAD NOT BOOKED IN ADVANCE AND THE RESTAURANT WAS ALMOST FULL OF HAPPY DINERS.

Great food, great atmosphere, pleasant and very clean. A typical local with exceptional food

It was so refreshing to find this place, unlike so many other city centre restaurants, the dining is casual and relaxed, creating a perfect atmosphere for our group. The quality and presentation of the dishes, combined with efficient and attentive service, is by far and away the best we'd encountered for a very long time. Well worth a visit and for us plenty of choice for our return visit soon!

Good old traditional theatre pub. Very friendly environment & staff. Always feels safe to visit. Even get the odd star popping in from the Alexandra theatre next door. Enjoyable food at decent prices. Have a fab karaoke night Tuesdays & Fridays, (Fridays the best night!) Oh & the beers good too, especially the Guinness, best in town!

Handmade Burger company offers the best range of burgers I have known and the quality is second to none. the food is thoroughly satisfying and the warm atmosphere really allows you to enjoy any kind of occasion whether it be a party or a romantic meal.

rude barman, cold food,rotten jacket potato and awful customer service.6th May2008

we went to akrams on saturday night, as frequent visitors soon as we entered we had noticed none of the usual staff, we were quickly seated, but after being seated everything seemed to take ages. we finally got our meal after over an hour even though we never had starters and the main meals were nothing 'wow'. wont be returning here anymore bye bye

Superb hot spicy Baltis in an informal cafe setting...don't expect great starters, spotless surroundings and attentive staff, just expect food bursting with spice, sizzling with flavour, a friendly owner and a great price. Can't recommend highly enough, is up there with the Royal Naim in Sparkhill and the Lasan Eatery in Hall green for me. Good vegetarian choice too!

It's not a bad Balti House, the service is good and the food is pretty reasonable plus it's still good to see a massive onion bhaji for a starter. It's just that yellow dip...well, custard to be exact. Chutney and custard as dips, no raita, and unforgivably, no red dip. Custard instead of red dip suggests a not too spicy bland balti and I'm afraid this is what you get. I think it used to be better but has pandered to the Stirchley saturday night family crowd. I'd still rather have a Yasser 'Salty Balti' over the road or go down the Pershore road to Balti Cottage.

Brilliant we go week in week out once you go to this place you cant turn your back

Food first class, service excellent and prices are reasonable. Will be returning very soon. Food very individual and not the common "standard packages".

Very good value, I use it regularly for lunch. Choice is good and buffet is kept moving so not just warm.

EXCELLENT FANTASTIC.. FOOD DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stonkingly good Balti with stupendous Nan bread capable of putting out a large fire! The staff are unfailingly friendly and the food is, like they say, cooked to order and well worth the short wait. I can't imagine that you'll find better Indian cuisine in the area.

I love eating at San Carlo - the staff always make you feel so welcome, and the food is delicious. Their special board always has different dishes on it - which is nice, as I seem to eat there often - and they never fail to disappoint. I recommend their fish dishes - they're always fresh and taste really great.

i was pleasantly amazed by the newly refurbished kingshead, we had planned to go out for a Sunday lunch with family and friends but our first choice of restaurant was shut due to maintenance being carried out, so we had a look around and came across this lovely revamped pub, we went to enquire about booking a table and was greeted immediately by a warm inviting smile, a party of 20 was just leaving the restaurant so our party of 18 was able to seat within 5 minutes. the food was tasty, well presented and served by friendly staff who were attentive throughout. i will say though that we were unaware of the new kingshead we just came across it by mistake, i just hope that more people make the same mistake as it was a really enjoyable experience and we are sure to return!!!!!!!!
