Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

The meal my wife & I had last Saturday lunchtime was very good. The staff were obliging - BUT! - The noise (under no circumstances could it be called 'music' ) coming from the speakers was more than any normal person could be expected to suffer.- Surely the person who was responsible for this cacophonous rubbish must know that the average age of customers on a lunchtime must be older rather than the youngsters who use the venue at nights, and who seem to appreciate this type of noise. If whoever is responsibe cannot see that the customers who frequent The Hobs Meadow for a lunchtime meal do not appreciate their choice of musical rubbish, then I suggest that they need to look for another job!

If you are one who has extravagant tastes then Saffron Birmingham will cater to your every need and occasion. In terms of dining experience, atmosphere, quality of food and customer service. If you haven’t been to a Saffron branch then you cannot really call yourself a “foodie.”

DO NOT EAT HERE! APPALLING FOOD!Where do I start on this sham of an establishment.....When we arrived at the restaurant we were very excited about the prospect of eating at this establishment. The place is decorated nicely and there is an open kitchen where the chefs are on view which is a nice touch. The menu looked expensive but I thought that must reflect the high quality of the food, how wrong I was! The first disappointment came when we ordered 2 glasses of coca cola. The coke was really warm (It must have been poured out of a big bottle that isn't kept in the fridge) and it was served in a tall milkshake glass which was random to say the least. The staff then brought over a bowl with ice in it for us to put in ourselves, but instead of bringing tongs so we could pick up the ice they brought a little tea spoon! The ice was impossible to pick up!We were very excited about our main meal of 8oz sirloin steak but when the meals came out we could not have been more disappointed. Instead of the steak being a big juicy steak it was 2 thin pieces of steak that I'm convinced was frying steak and not actual steak at all. The steak was bland, so bland that I only ate half of it, it was the most tasteless, disappointing steak I've ever had the displeasure of putting into my mouth. The pepper sauce was also tasteless. I ordered spicy wedges and for the price we were paying I expected home cooked ones. Instead we got greasy fried wedges that were cooked from frozen. I'm convinced they are the wedges that are 79p a bag from Aldi as they tasted exactly the same, no spice, just cheap frozen wedges. The side salad consisted of thinly chopped ice berg lettuce, a few slices of tomato and a few slices of cucumber. The customer service was okish. Some of the waiter smelt of B.O which was very off putting but that might have been because they were sweating under the cheesy white shirts and black waistcoats. The place is meant to be a steak house but is run in the same manner as an Indian restaurant which is very weird in a steak house setting. They even give you hot towels and a mint chocolate at the end!In conclusion please do not waste your hard earned money eating at this establishment.

First visit today - lunch was superb, service excellent - wonderful setting and nothing was too much trouble. Amazing food - will definately be returning soon! Thank you.

Friendly place, great service, lovely food and we even almost got serenaded before we left.

absolutely amazing

Table for two no problem. Drinks n poppadoms straight away. Our car park ticket expired at 9pm we asked to order starter n main straight away 6.45. We were then offered free baileys. A couple then sat at table next to us within ten minutes were tucking into starter. We reminded waiter who ten minutes later gave us our starter. At 8.30 our main finally arrived the couple next to us had dined n left. Hardly any meat in both our curries the waiter removed my meal i still was holding fork he reminded me of our parking ticket n apologised we were so annoyed we asked for the bill ice cream coffee n mints all arrived at the same time 8.50 would not recommend this place bad service

Dining here has always been a pleasant, no experience for me and my friend. Well done.

I am amazed by their Wing Wah Fine Dining Club, 110 outlook and atmosphere

visited here on 08/08/12. really really Excellent. food fantastic. service Exceptional. Staff very attentive and nothing was to much trouble. Wide variety of food to choose from. take your own wine or beer. 5*****

If you are bored with the Indian or Italian cuisine you should try this gem in Erdington. I went with my wife and we spent 22 pound. 3 courses, included drinks and excellent hospitality. Highly recommended who wants to try the magical Hungarian cuisine.

I am a daily customer at Masters, i think their food is absolutely delicious, i simply love Indian food!

Have visited twice and both times the service and food was exceptional. There are the usual balti dishes as well as an extensive range of other fusion style Indian food. My children particularly enjoyed their baltis too! The service was great, Mitch, the owner, was particularly helpful and recommended some really delicious but unusual fish dishes. My only advice would be to book as the restaurant is very intimate and each time I have been it has been very busy.

This is a fantastic curryhouse, the staff are friendly and attentive, and really welcoming of families. The menu is really varied but the aubergine side dish is one of the nicest things I have ever eaten! Decor a bit tacky but food fabulous.

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!
