Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Food was great but the service was absolutely horrendous. My husband and I had purchase a voucher through KGB deals for 3 courses for £15, and called to book on a Saturday evening. We were told we could bring our own wine or purchase drinks at their bar. Upon arriving, we were met by a member of the team who welcomed us warmly, only to then be confronted with the Manager of D Spice who accusingly said to us we had to book if using the deal. When both I and the waiter explained that we had booked he stormed off. After checking with the waiter that we were ok to bring our own wine, the manager came over and told us that as we were using the KGB deal we could not have our own wine (glasses full at this point). His manner was rude and aggressive and even after explaining that we had checked twice with various members of staff he reluctantly left us to it. The table next to us were also KGB voucher clients and we both sat there in disarray at the rudeness of the manager. Having ordered their starters, the manager brought them over to the adjacent table and gave one lady her food, however the delivery chap turned up and her food was then left on a side table while he spoke to him. Needless to say, her food was only warm when she received it. Another thing that seemed unusual was that the food deliveries were actually carried out by a taxi firm, with the manager explaining to the clients on the phone not to pay the taxi man. Seeing as there were 4 front of house staff on that night, none of which were apparently trusted to do anything (the manager answered the phone, dealt with deliveries, took orders and served food), it seemed strange that none of these could be delegated with this task. We didn't want to stay for dessert so left and will most definitely not be returning. As a new business, I would expect the staff to be attentive, helpful and pleasant. However, with the exception of the waiter that saw us into the building, we were treated terribly and as though because we had a voucher we were not worthy of decent customer service. The restaurant was empty on a Saturday night, with no music or atmosphere. Really disappointed and would not recommend to anyone.

Food good, sweet portion a bit on the small side, Very restricted car parking. Had to get the OK to park the car at the pub opposite. I suggested that this should be on their website, but I was told there had been no problems before. I had pranged my car getting out of a tight situation looking for a their car park

I have used this pub since it opened in 1973. It is a great local pub with good "pub grub" a variety of entertainment, a good selection of real ales and value for money wines.

Staff very helpful! Great choice of food, will be going again!

My wife @ I visited your pub last night the meal was not up to the standard when we visited last time the scampi was dry and the salad was lettuce with a bit of cucumber peppers which was very poor the barman didn't no what wines he had and never asked if we wanted a glass or a bottle I thought the service was poor he never asked if the meal was ok when we got home the wife was sick which is not good for you

Just great absolutely fantastic from service to food well recommended

Fabulous meal, great service, would recommend and return.

We recently visited Sabai Sabai with friends after looking for an alternative to Choapraya and Choababy in Manchester. Following a 2 1/2 hour journey in the snow from Manchester I have to say it was worth every minute. We recently married in Thailand and had the pleasure of eating amazing Thai food in Bangkok, Phuket and Krabi. Myself and 3 other guests had an authentic Thai experience (apart from the snow outside) and will be visiting the restaurant again in the not too distant future. FOOD We ordered a selection of dishes so that we could all taste the different spices associated with different dishes. A dish I tried and loved in Thailand (Som Tam) was not on the menu, but after asking the waiter if it was possible to order, the dish arrived at our table and brought back some great memories. The Toong Tong (Golden Bags) and Pad Gra Prao (Holy Basil Classic) were great dishes along with the more traditional Pad Thai and Red Curry. We tried numerous other dishes and enjoyed every mouthful which left us wanting more even though we were stuffed. SERVICE The service matched the quality of the food. As I mentioned above, they went out of their way to provide a dish that was not on the menu. Their knowledge of the dishes on the menu was excellent and recommended some great dishes for us. They were always on hand for our every need and even entertained the restaurant by singing happy birthday with traditional Thai instruments on a couple of occasions to parties. VENUE The feeling in the restaurant is not only enhanced by the contemporary decor but it also brought to life the authentic Thai atmosphere. I can't wait to go back (open one in Manchester), so enjoy your visit just as we did. Amazing first class Thai experience! Well Done guys!

1st time eating there and was very impressed with the AMAZING food and staff!!! will visit again :)

Best halal buffet in Bham. Some of their mains dishes surpass the quality of service restaurants in Bham. The variety is huge and the quality is fantastic. I'm serious- i'm hooked to this place.

Great food that didn't disappoint but the service was bad. Some people got given the wrong order and 5 of our party members ended up away from the rest of us because they didn't set the tables up for the correct amount of people. Also if you are group of 5 or more people you will be made to pay 10% service which considering they never apologised for making us wait in the cold way past when they booked us in for and still got orders and tables wrong is crazy.

The Food is very nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. These is plenty on offer and anything to suite your taste. you get free re-fills with pepsi and the reason is very reasonable

Pete and Jenny have been visiting the jade for over 30 years and the food and service have been first class

A group of 12 of us visited and none of us were greatly impressed. The tagines appear to be meat ( either chicken or lamb) over which a sauce has been thrown and then the subsequent mix poured into a crock pot. No evidence whatsoever of meat being cooked in the sauce or the sauce in the tagine. Similarly the Cous cous Maison was a dollop of plain Cous cous with some merguez and grilled chicken thrown on top and an asparagus or two slung to the side. I thought cooking was all about letting flavours flow and contrast and all those other things. This was Moroccan fast food and pretty unimpressive it was too. There must be better places that serve better Moroccan food.

I visited on the evening of Friday, February 17. After checking out several other restaurants in the nearby Chinese area, I decided to choose the Ken Ho - from the outside it looked nice and there were a few other diners.I went fairly early, around 8.30pm, and many other restaurants were pretty dead, maybe it was weather.The food, I had satay duck, was average - the rice was sticky and not fluffy. Although there were only three other tables occupied when I went in, the customer service was abysmal.The young girl who served me was fine but after the food arrived I was just left.I needed a knife, but unable to catch the eye of the staff who were chatting at the bar and doing some cleaning, I had to walk up and ask for one.I finished my drink and would have ordered another if I had had the chance but no one noticed my glass was empty and I couldn't be bothered to walk over to the bar again.After my plates were cleared I had to catch the eye of a waitress to get my bill.I paid and as I got up to leave none of the staff even bothered to say goodbye or thank you - one sour faced waitresses just stared at me as I walked out - she probably noticed I had not left a tip.I would not recommend this restaurant.

I bought a Groupon deal for this restaurant which was supposed to be worth up to £59.60. Only to find out they have a separate Groupon menu which serves less than half the portions compared to dishes of the same price from the regular menu! A starter worth £4.95 was literally 80-90 sauce and had 2 cubes of lamb each 1 square inch in size. One King prawn main dish which was supposed to be worth £9.95 had 3 small prawns in it! When I complained to the owner he told me that Groupon portions were indeed smaller but did not admit this to be misleading. If not, than what is the 66 discount based on? Not to mention the fact we had to wait one full hour for our food. Absolutely horrible experience!

Seven of us went there for Mother's Day last year, made to feel really welcome, food was amazing. that was about third visit there, will book up again this year.My Mother who is 87 loved it there.. Just one comment I think they should give all Mother's a rose, makes for just a sweet touch.

This is a really beautiful place to eat
