Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Had a birthday bash for my Wife with 30 invites everything was as promised by mr watan (nick name for the lovely owner) we had a excellent time an the staff were very friendly an just a big thanks to the lads at the royal watan

Fun food, in nice surroundings. The children love cooking for themselves on the barbeque! Nice selection of pre-cooked Chinese dishes, kept topped up and fresh, and an interesting and tasty selection of raw ingredients for you to cook for yourself at your table, with plenty of excellent, available staff happy to help should you need it. Come hungry, have fun, and it wont break the bank. Well done Dragon BBQ for bringing some new ideas to the Birmingham food scene

The Malt Shovel offers two dining experiences. You can choose the Restaurant with its fabulous medieval atmosphere. Small, select but expensive. Alternatively the bar serves the same food in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Bar food is cheaper and equally excellent. The waiters and waitresses always seem to be from down under when I go! The Malt Shovel is a lovely village pub with a beautiful garden. Great in the summer for a drink although they do not serve food outside. Highly recommended wherever you live - it's worth travelling for. Enjoy!

Excellent food every time I go - the best Cantonese restaurant I have ever been to.

Buffet nights superb and staff almost willing you to eat more, which, reluctantly, we had to agree too....

Michellin star. The food and experience has been lovely every time. Its a great treat. Definately worth the price!

Small Italian restaurant with nice family atmosphere. Have eaten here several times and always had good food. Not easy to find if you do not know the area. Limited wine list but always has good Italian wines. Booking essential.

Impressively bustling with an almost production line efficiency of turnaround...made me tired just watching the waiters preparing tables as soon as they emptied. Faultless array of food - upto fifty dishes at lunchtime - and the quality is surprisingly high for the Chinese buffet style. Chinese beer by the bottle and a good selection of wines and spirits. Handy for New Street station to waddle back to for the train home!

Best chippy in Birmingham. Far better than Harry Ramsden. Used to travel from Heartlands Hospital to get lunch here especially if I could work in a local call afterwards.

Went to Wagamama for the first time last night. FAB!

friendly relaxed atmosphere. Food cooked to exceptional standards. Tasted like good home cooked food. Service good. Will go back again and again!!

We went to this place when it first opened and keep on going back - the food is always good and the service excellent and you couldn't ask for better ambience! The place feels comfortable and the staff always make you feel welcome. Never had a bad meal from there.

Hello, I had recently had the pleasure of visiting itihaas restaurant and i was very amazed and taken-back by my experience. the quality of service and the foods is absolutely breath-taking, might i add the beautiful deco added is excellent. My favourite dish was the makhani murgh and salmon ka tukrah. it is far the best Indian restaurant in the UK, and would urge people fond of Indian cuisine to try and 'taste the passion' itihaas has to offer.

The atmosphere at Athens is just incredible; it? the place to go if you want a good laugh! The staff are friendly.... very entertaining and join in on the party themselves! Being at Athens is literally like being at a party! The food was quite good but not as good as I? been told and it? quite pricey but nothing people couldn't afford.

I visited Zagora recently, early evening mid-week, on the recommendation of a friend. I wanted to see for myself before arranging a group booking with colleagues from work. Not many people seem to know about this superb restaurant yet - probably because it is hidden away in Fletcher's Walk. My husband and I were the first customers that night, a group of 4 arrived a little later, and a large group was due as we left. The interior is fantastic: comfortable couches and cushions arranged around the walls: typically Moroccan, as are the furnishings and decorative items - in the colours of the Moroccan flag. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. A plate of mixed olives was served while we chose from the menu: Harira soup (better than I have ever tasted) and Moroccan salad as starters - served with plenty of warm and crusty bread; lamb tagines for the main course - Zagora (tender and sweet with prunes) and Casablanca (equally tender, with mixed vegetables). We could not manage desserts, but ordered mint tea and were offered delicious pastries with this. Soft drinks are available with the meal - you need to take your own wine if required. I have rated ambience as Good rather than Outstanding simply because the restaurant was quite empty when I was there. I am certain that once more people know about it it will be so popular that booking in advance will be essential. I am very pleased to be arranging a party at Zagora in the near future and highly recommend this restaurant.

A traditional atmospheric IRANIAN restaurant, which was a nice change from the usual Balti or Tandoori, which Birmingham is famous for! We were able to enjoy our meal and leaving sober! (As the restaurant has a no alcohol policy) worth returning to in the future.

A brilliant place to go and eat. I have been there a few times and am planning to go back next week as I feel it is the best place to eat in Birmingham.

Always a great meal here at very good prices, my wife and I and our friends have been eating here for over 3 years and have never had a bad meal, very friendly staff and a good delivery service if your feeling too lazy to go out. You really must try it !!
