Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

A very modern looking restaurant with a great atmosphere. Excellent quality food with variation of dishes. Restaurant is very appealing and clean. Staff helpful and food and drinks at reasonable prices.

The restaurant had a very good atmosphere. Food was of very good quality and staff was very helpful at all times. It was fun atmosphere, our waitress was really funny, even when it was really busy on the place, and she kept dancing and singing around with all her colleagues

the food is amazing the taste the smell its just out of this world

Visiting from Dublin.... atmosphere great. Very impressed with quality of service.... food great

The food is still the best compared to all other Buffet Restaurant I've been too. The new function room facility is a plus with Karaoke entertainment. (I've a party of 20 on a Friday night, and it was fantastic). My best advice is book early for the weekend.

The quality of the food here is exceptional, and despite being very busy, our service was swift. My only gripes really would be that we requested condiments (just some soy sauce actually) more than once, but the busy staff seem to have forgotten this request the second they moved away from our table! It was also difficult to get the combination of things we wanted on the set menus, so we ordered various separate dishes to share. In terms of cost, we ordered soups, mixed starters for 4 people, 5 different main courses, 2 portions of noodles and 2 egg fried rice, and a bottle of house white wine, and it came to £30 per head (4 people) including service charge. This is a little bit more than I would like to pay normally, but I have probably been spoiled by restaurants I know that charge £15 per person for an all-you-can-eat menu...freshly cooked food, not a buffet. Go with the set meal's for however many people if you can find one that suits, as it appeared to work out somewhat cheaper that way. NB - your bill comes with 10% service charge already added. Great for those that tip as the maths has already been done. Not great for those that prefer to tip based on whether or not they thought the service was good! I didn't mind at all, as my service was generally good all evening. I would highly recommend the seafood dishes to any fish fans, and also the sizzling dishes. The location is great, surrounded by several nice bars for a pre or post meal drink.

You might be mistaken for being in Madrid when you come here. The menu is affordable and our favourite is the seafood paella and mussels. The back drop is relaxed, intimate and refreshingly Spanish. La Plancha has innovation and flair. Look out for the specials on the board as these aren? always made apparent.

I went to this restaurant on a Thursday night, thinking that there would be plenty of tables available to my surprise the restaurant was very busy with limited space available - always a good sign! The service was very good and the food was the tastiest Chinese that I have had for a long time. I will certainly be going for another meal here very soon. The food was very good value for money - Three main courses, 2 desserts, 2 coffees and a bottle of wine for under £50.00.

I went to the restaurant having heard so many spectacular reviews about it, and am pleased to say that I am not disappointed. Upon entering the restaurant, the staff greeted me in an extremely friendly manner and continued to be helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The food was of an excellent quality and i was particularly impressed by the rate of turnover. Furthermore, my daughter is vegetarian and another member of my party only likes English food. Not a problem, immediately, the staff offered to get something prepared for us especially. Outstanding service and will definitely recommend this restaurant.

The Blake Barn provides two for one dining. We chose steak and scampi. The food was well cooked and tasty with an excellent salad garnish. The staff are all lovely, This is a very popular local pub which I would recommend but, get there early!

The old man and I visit Sabai Sabai probably, oooooh, once a month or so - we just can't help ourselves. The food's fresh, delicious and (apparently) authentic-tasting. It also won't break the bank by any means - £20-a-head for wine, starters, mains and side dishes so, fantastic value for money. The service is really friendly and the music (laid back hip-hop kind of stuff) gives the place a relaxed atmosphere. The tables, however, are quite squished together (I don't want it fully booked next time we go) ...

Lovely food at this Balti House and the staff are very friendly and efficient, the only downside is the fact that the premises is very small and tends to be a little cramped especially if there is a large group of you.

Had a nice starter of mix mezze including a nice hummus and aubergine dips. The Shiraz bread was very nice too the manager was very polite giving us free tasters such as pickles and baklava. Only downside no segregation for smokers and non-smokers.

I really enjoyed my night a buffet island. The food is amazing and there is so much choice. It can get crowded at times in the buffet area. The drinks are quite expensive, and when asking for a jug of water to accompany our drinks they only would serve bottled water at a quite expensive price. This however is the catch to such a wonderful price for an incredible amount of food. I suggest you go hungry and get your money's worth! Fri- Saturday nights are £12.90 pp the rest of the week is £10.90 pp. Lunchtimes are very reasonable !

I would highly recommend China Garden. Since moving to Birmingham nearly 4 years ago, we have tried a lot of different Chinese restaurants in the area - I can honestly say that none compare! It may cost you an extra £1 per dish than others, but definitely worth it! (And they now deliver)

Fantastic food, fantastic service, clean restaurant ... been there many, many times and never once had a problem. They're only too happy to help, and the food is excellently priced too. About to go back there tonight!

The first thing I noticed as I walked in was the vibrant and relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by the unexpected but excellent music (funk, reggae and soul). The service was polite, efficient and friendly. I had sizzling platter with beef Chinese whisky and sesame oil which was fantastic. My partner had a very authentic green curry which she finished to the last drop, delicious she said and very tasty. I will definitely be going back, a good recommendation from the Birmingham mail
