Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

This is a very reasonably priced Asian restaurant. The food is very tasty and the portions are generous. The staff are very welcoming and the service is excellent. It's also suitable for families with children. The decor is a little dated but the ambience is great.

i have found the cyprus fishbar to be both cheap and exquisite food... it really harvests the taste of the traditional dish with an extra something which just adds to the experience and i would not eat from any other retailer

It's been a while since I visited the Rajdoot - in fact I hadn't visited the new premises at all; but upon stepping into the luxuriously appointed foyer it was like meeting up with an old friend. There were seven of us - a mixture of adults and children all hot and bothered after a busy day shopping; the children were hungry and the adults ravenous. We were soon settled into the waiting area to peruse the menu and nibble on some marvellous indian crispy things - very moorish! The air conditioning soon cooled us down and before we knew it we were seated and the poppadums and salad were served. Now I used to swear that the besat mint sauce in Birmingham was always to be found at The Maharaja in Hurst Street - it could be that The Doot has equalled it if not surpassed it. Starters are always a good indicator of whats to come; our starters were exquisitely prepared and presented. Top quality ingredients and just enough to leave you wanting more - always a good sign. We went overboard with our main course. There were 7 of us and we ordered 8 main courses plus 4 vegetable dishes plus 4 rice and 4 naan - I did say we were ravenous! - you know what? - every morsel was eaten and the juices mopped up with the breads! This was an experience - the decor the atmosphere and above all the quality of the food really does make for something outstanding. One of my guests was from Plymouth and hadn't been to a Birmingham Restauranbt before - he went away a happy man! Well done Rajdoot and keep up the great work

4 of us visited Simpson? for my wife's birthday on Saturday 15th July 2006.We were met by a French lady who was delightful and showed us through to the lounge area. We were offered drinks and then chose from the menu. For a Michelin star restaurant the menu is varied, not extensive but covers many different aspects of meats and fish. We were sat in the conservatory area as this was where the larger tables were. Service was professional, prompt and very informative explaining what each dish consisted of. I had the sweetbreads of veal followed by the venison and then chocolate croquettes with coconut tapioca. All very nice. I mentioned to the waiter following the main that the they could have been more generous on the venison. He said he would mention it to the chef. But I heard no more. The chocolate croquettes were dry and uninteresting. But I am really picking faults but surely we should be as it is supposed to be one of the best. Later we had petit fours in the lounge area with our coffee and not only that they had remembered my wife's birthday with it piped on the plate in chocolate. A lovely place, a lovely night. We shall return.

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Birmingham, and believe us we have probably tried them all! The service time is always excellent with very pleasant staff always! If you are visiting Birmingham I strongly recommend you use this restaurant.

The black peppered sirloin was outstanding. The restaurant doesn? look that appealing but the food is definitely worth a visit.

Took my 2 boys and baby daughter with me on the afternoon and it was fantastic, have been back 4 times since and my sons want their birthdays celebrated there with a few friends from school...they are aged 6 and 9!! so go...its gr8

As Robbie Williams favourite when he's in town, the Kebabish definitely lives up to expectations!

I go to Buffet Island every week, absolutely love it!!!! I love Chinese food, especially here - so much choice and variety with a great price. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

The meal my wife & I had was the second time we had been to this very nice eating place. It was on recommendation of a friend of mine. We looked at the web site and found the menu was extensive so had to go! We also submitted our celebration dates. This was our Birthdays as asked by the email sent to us by the owner of the restaurant and hey, we got an invite to celebrate my Birthday. We took this up and although we had been on holiday, Mike Sharman extended the week allowed for this celebration meal and drink for a further week! Well if that is not good I don't not what is. So we went along and they made us very welcome. A cocktail with a very nice meal was offered to me and we paid for the other meal. Well one free one is very good in my books. The food is excellent and we could not fault it. We will of course be going back and taking our friends also to show them good Tapas.

I love The Jade, it is one of my favourite restaurants and I have been going there for years! They are fast, very generous with portions and the meals are a really good price! The staff are very nice and I would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely jubbly

Stumble by this wonderful little restaurant and was lucky to get a table, early on a Saturday evening. (Would definitely recommend booking). Staff were welcoming, friendly (without being overpowering) and knowledgeable. The food was out of this world. Two each of beers, soft drinks, main course and a shared dessert came to a total of £30. Pretty good value!

The bar has had a recent refurbishment and looks great I would say its the best in the Arcadian. The meals coming from the kitchens are super and very inexpensive the seating area outside is a lovely place to eat and enjoy the sunshine. The bar is a very popular at weekends so go and enjoy the music with your friends have a great time.

What a fantastic little bar went in for something to eat early on Saturday evening loved it so much in there ended up staying till 3am!!

Been here a few times now and have always had a great meal. the menu has so much to choose from you are spoilt for choice and the staff are extremely helpful. The prices are such good value we had poppadom, 2 starters, 2 mains with rice and naan each, a dessert to share and 2 Litre bottles of wine(!) all for only £50!!!! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Wagamama does Japanese 'instant cuisine' very well. The seating plan is communal and the restaurant itself is rather noisy, but its all part of the experience. I? recommend the ramen noodles as being exceptional. Service is faultless too. A nice evening out, if you don't mind paying for parking at the Bullring, which is a bit pricey.

Ulysses does an excellent and reasonably priced MEZE; the atmosphere is very greek, with an authentic 2 man greek band playing most evenings. The seating area is simply ENORMOUS and the service is quick and attentive. Try and avoid friday evenings, however, as it can be very busy and boisterous.
