Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Visited here recently after reading about refurbishment and I was not disappointed, what a great job that’s been done, especially the front window, the food was fantastic almost fine dining like, and the staff looked after myself and my guests perfectly not to aloof and not too much. Thanks guys

Visited here recently after reading about it, and I was not disappointed, the food was great very tastefully done, and the staff looked after myself and my guests perfectly not to aloof and not too much, but love the outside area just a shame it was too cold to go out there, but i guess i cant hold that against you, ha ha

The food is the real taste of India what you really get in India one of the best of its kind outside London.keep up the very good work.

We had read a glowing report in the local paper and had not visited this - our "local" since a poor meal 2 years ago. It will be many more than two years before we return. Table booked for 11 as it was a special evening. We were in a conservatory part of the restaurant and it was late November and far from warm. Towards the end of the meal were were wearing our coats. A very big selection of meals - large menus and specials - all to be produced from a small kitchen. We were prepared for slow service as we had visited before, but it was an hour before the starters arrived and then a long wait for the plates to be cleared and more waiting for the main course to arrive. When they did arrive, only 9 from the eleven turned up. Of these 2 were immediately returned to the kitchen as one was cold and the other not at all what was described on the menu. One of the remaining main courses turned up after 10 minutes. The final course that, I think had been completely forgotten arrived as the rest of us were finishing our meal. We will not return. If you are planning a meal to remember, you may well achieve this if you visit the Four Oaks, but not in the way you wanted. Lesson to be learnt - Don’t believe restaurant guides in paper that rely in restaurant advertisements. Lessons for the Four Oaks. Please try and concentrate on a smaller menu and try and get that right before expanding the choices so much. Don’t book for more covers than your kitchen and/or staff can handle. Dec 2008.

rubbish service ! says they have a partnership with pizza pronto but don't say that you have to order 11 pounds worth of food from sophies and 11 pounds worth of food from pizza pronto,when i rang sophies was great but pizza place was rude !! go it on your own sophies we love your food !!!

We had our xmas party last night and the food was awful. The pasta was not cooked and had just come out of the microwave with no veg in it. Others were served cold food, leftovers cheesecake. Swordfish with no sauce when asked they were given a saucer of tomato soup, disgusting. Would not recommend. Expensive wine, waiters are too busy to serve you at the table. No water in the ladies toilets to wash your hands disgusting. Dont bother !!!!!!! you have been warned !!!!!

superb evening, nice atmosphere. Very nice to see staff with a smile on their face. Thanks for a memorable evening

the worst sushi i've ever eaten. i couldn't even be bothered to complain. nothing but endless cheap crabstick variants. avoid.

excellent place to eat. Myself and my husband go to The Oddfellows Hall at least once a week and have never had a bad meal yet (we have been going for at least 18 months). I am usually a big eater but I normally have to have the light bite meals as there is usually to much on the normal meals, the specials board is very good for selection as well, and so are the puddings (yummy). The staff are very friendly and very polite, usually it is table service but if they are busy I do not mind ordering at the bar.

I have been to this delightful restaurant many many times and I absolutely love it. The staff are very friendly, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is fantastic. The hostess Karmel is one of the most delightful and charming hostesses I have ever met and she always tries her upmost to make your evening very very special.

Brilliant - lovely grub, fresh and tasty, good prices, and cheerful service too! 10/10

Nice place, veggie selection was impressive as my wife is a vegetarian it was a relief as usually we struggle to find something decent. Would you 'veggies' out there to try this place.

Food:- Absolutely amazing, I would give this 5 out of 5, if you are not keen on a lot of spice etc, they will alter all meals for your taste. Their meals are full of flavour, with plenty of everything e.g meat and sauce. There is just the right amount of choice on the menu. We did not have to await ages for our meals, though they actually ask if you are ready for your next course, we ordered our starters and if you like they will come after that to order your main. The staff are always friendly and make you feel at home. I would definitely advise anyone looking for a decent Indian meal to try out this restaurant.

Really good restaurant to go to. Very friendly staff, food gorgeous. Very relaxed atmosphere so if you want to go for a meal getting dressed up, this is the place to go.

Umm very nice
