Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Sutton Coldfield. A friend recommended this restaurant and it certainly lived up to the expectations. The atmosphere was very friendly and the decor is absolutely beautiful. I ordered the Tetul mix and was delicious and the main course, which was the Jingha shahi rogon with pilau rice, it was really nice. Also the prices are reasonable and the staff are very pleasant. I would highly recommend it. I went with my friends and we all loved it.

I went to Tessall lane cafe 2 weeks ago and I was very hungry. I tried the Tessall Belly Buster. WOW what a tasty plate full of food. 4 eggs, 4 sausages, 4 bacon, 4 hash browns, 4 black pudding, mushrooms, beans.

The star attraction at Fleet Street Kitchen is the UK’s only barbacoa grill. Housed in a neat alcove alongside the main kitchen, the lumpwood charcoal smell doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the dining area, just flavours the 28 day aged Herefordshire or 35 day dry aged Dexter beef.My partner and I went for Sunday lunch. For starters we had baby back ribs, with meat softly falling off the bone and a mini pot of the fruity house sauce, plus slivers of smoked salmon, dotted with capers and wafer thin lemon rice cakes. The sharing platters are a great idea as you choose meat and cheese options, which are served with olives, herb butter, red onion marmalade, chutney and homemade breads. My partner likes steak well done, so he was served his cooked 10 oz sirloin on a mini griddle. By turning the heat up or down for as long as he wanted, he added the finishing touch to his perfect steak. An unusual and effective personal touch.A sprig of vine roasted tomatoes, mushroom garnish and cone of chips accompanied his steak, to which he also added a pot of peppercorn sauce. My main dish reminded me of the chicken at Tramshed - half a corn fed rotisserie chicken, golden crunchy chips and house ‘slaw’ of red cabbage in a creamy dressing (£12.95). The range of seven different sauces, vegetables, chips, mash and salads side orders for £3 each, quickly make an expensive way of building your meal though.Fleet Street Kitchen is a bright white space, softened with splashes of dove grey. The social trestle tables, banquettes and marble topped tables for two make the restaurant bright and congenial.Perched on the edge of the business district and Jewellery Quarter, Fleet Street Kitchen is also handy for the ICC and Birmingham Rep (when it re-opens).

About 12 months ago, my husband and I visited Piccolinos in Manchester (my home town) for a lovely meal together after having our new baby . It was wonderful and we picked up a membership card from Individual Restaurants and made a pact to visit again soon. We returned to the Birmingham where we now live and fast forward to this weekend whereby my husband and I, together with our 17 month year old daughter visited Piccolinos Restaurant in Birmingham on Saturday17 March 2013, just before midday. As Im sure some will know, going out for a meal with your toddler can be a fairly stressful affair, even with a relatively well behaved child. However, needs must if you live away from your family and have no one to look after her but fancy going out ! I cannot praise the service we received enough !All the staff, especially our waiter and the manager, Danielli were wonderful ! We arrived slightly early for lunch service on Saturday but Danielli accommodated us graciously. He chatted and entertained our daughter and arranged for crayons and a colouring book to be brought to the table to keep her amused and to maximise our chances of having a good time ! As you are probably aware, 17month year old's are not the tidiest of eaters but this did not phase our waiter at all who discreetly and deftly picked up any debris that had escaped from the table top with good humour( well before i could clean up after her). Of course the food was delicious also, and out little girl really enjoyed a little of what we were having, especially the garlic bread with tomato and basil and the chicken stuffed with fontina cheese and parma ham with rosemary roasted potatoes, plus the chocolate fondant and salted caramel ice cream. We really hope to return soon.

The restaurant was light, modern and the food was fantastic. A little more care of the salad garish would give it 10 out of 10. Mushrooms to start, Duck for main course and cheese cake for desert was really good. Toilets were clean and wine was really good for the price. We will go back.

Lovely food and custom, best indian we have had for a long time. Thankyou.

Totally ruined my birthday! I was stuck on a seat in the middle of a walkway, although we booked over 2 weeks ago a table of 5 was squeezed onto 4 which meant I couldn`t reach over to get the sauces etc. Service took an age, even to get a glass for my wine. Starters (Nargis) and popadoms excellent. My curry a nightmare. It was so salty it was unedible, complained and guess what "we are sorry sometimes the chefs may of seasoned it twice by mistake" no offer of replacement or refund just "I`ll look after you next time" which I stated I wont be coming back... he just walked off.. My meal was included on the bill.

as soon as i got in there i went to the toilet which was absolutely filtyh and stank, on going back into the restaurant all you cpuld smell was the toilets, my husband ordered a drink and i had a latte, the glass was filthy, looked like it gad never been washed and it tasted like chemical sludge, when we were sat down i looked down and there was food over the floors which you could tell gad been there a while,as we went early it was not from footfall there was also food down the seats and the shelf at the back of me was caked in dirt, needless to say we left without eating, WHAT A STINKING FILTHY DUMP

We've been going to Balti Bazaar for 10 years - it is consistently excellent; the food quality and range of dishes is the best we've seen and portion sizes are generous. Service has always been very good too. The fact that you can take your own drinks is an added bonus. We have recommended to a lot of people over the years and will continue to do so!

It was my birthday Feb 21st, I chose to come to the Herons Nest with my husband and two friends, having been there once before I had praised the place up to our friends only to be very disappointed, Where we were seated was freezing cold, was told heating in this area broken, there was very strong very cold drafts coming through bottom of windows, we moved to another table to escape this as did others who sat in this area, we were not offered any other seating in a warmer area, it seems heating okay elsewhere apart from where we were. hence we all sat to eat meal in our coats. also the menu had run out of the items we had decided on, another disappointment. We were not the only people not happy, we left earlier than intended to go home to get warm. I'm embarrassed and disappointed after the build up I gave to my friends, not to mention my birthday ruined. I must say the food we had was very nice, but do we come back, Im not sure.

I visited Edwards for breakfast expecting it to be on the same lines as Brittons tea rooms which is within the same group. I prefer the cooking at Brittons tea rooms.

I must say, I've been all over the globe, and cafe lords is 1 of the best cafes I've been to. Its so modern, clean, and very resonable priced, the coffee and food is fab, you should pop in and try their coffees. Super, well done Lords, my rating is 10 out of 10.

This is a lovely cosy place in which to eat and drink. They have good ales and excellent food, the quality of the food is very good and so is the service.

Booked a table for at least 8 people, for a 50th Birthday party. At the last minute (on the day we were going) they insisted via phone that we pay a £70 deposit beforehand, so they know "how much to cook" and show that we are committed. The person who's birthday it was on that day told them to "stick it". If you're a restaurant who takes advance bookings like all others do and then turns around and insists on payment up-front before they are prepared to cook for you, you will not get my custom. After all you don't get that when a mass of people turn up at a curry house, they would welcome you with open arms and bend over backwards to accommodate you. Not ever going there out of principle.
