A truly wonderful meal. highly recommended.

Visited Taj Mahal on Monday 16th December, the service was great, the sheesh kebabs we very tasty, and the chicken jalfazi is one of the best I have ever eaten. The price is great too, for city centre. Highly recommended.

My best friend and myself have a saturday lunch every week with a bottle always been enjoyed. Would like to know what the monday special is?

Great night out - thank you.

The Best independent food outlet in Birmingham city centre! Value for money is outstanding. Service impeccable.! I advise people who haven't visited to do so before the secret evolves.??

love it hopefully this place will never go out of business....but anyway thank you for the wonderful meal. have a wonderful day!

Introduced to your restaurant Yesterday Friday 6th april because I have had during my life some wonderful associations with Italy, in fact since 1954 when English people didn't know what a pizza was.I was pleased with your selection of Italian food of different regions which last night i thoroughly enjoyed because the food was beautifully presented, very tasty and the ambience was excellent.Thank you.

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.

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.

I have never been there but all my family specially my wife have been to Ming Moon.....no more words it's tooooooo goood..like it..am going tonight...can't wait..

I visited China Town noodle bar restaurant located at unit 2 Bath passage, Ladywell Walk, Chinatown building, Birmingham B5 4SZ, I was totally appalled by the food they served: the food was not properly cooked and tasteless, it seemed the food was cooked by unqualified chefs. Some of the food was pre-cooked. In addition, the service was poor and the waitresses are not properly trained.Most of the chefs working in Chinese restaurants/takeaways in the UK are not properly trained; they were not classically trained as a Chef before working in the UK. Worse still, some of them from Mainland China working in the restaurants/takeaways are claiming asylum, and some of them hidden in the kitchen working illegally, so they do not have much experience working in the kitchen environment. Nevertheless, they are lack of traditional Chinese cooking skills, poor food hygiene standards, and poor food safety management. They cooked Chinese food with bad quality of meats and ingredients. These bogus practices cannot reflect the true value of Chinese food and its culture; their behaviours are actually destroying the Chinese culture and its reputation. Shame on you!!!

My party of 14 booked in october,ive been there many times and had fab nights but we were so disappointed on our last visit,1st of all it was freezing in there so we all sat in our coats all night so was a waste of time dressing up!,2 of our meals had 2 be sent back! also we all paid for a 4 course meal...only got 3 course,wasnt even offered coffee!!....we expected the belly dancer which our kids were excited to watch,we were told she was defo on that night,waited till 11.30 then was told she wasnt there!!!.....the entertainment and decor is dated now n there wasnt no atmosphere like before,therefore we left early and will not be going again!

I don’t usually have the time of the patience to leave feedback but in this instance I forced myself to do so. It is so rare that after dining at a restaurant I come home thinking about what excuse I can make to go back to eat there again.Last week an old university pal spontaneously came to stay with me - it was out of the blue and on a week night and I wasn’t sure where to take her at such short notice! We ended up walking around Birmingham’s City Centre and came across the buzzing atmosphere of Fumo – an Italian restaurant which is part of the San Carlo restaurant chain.Full of beautiful inviting people the night got better and better with yummy cocktails and a platter of delicious Venetian tapas which was reasonably priced and the perfect amount of food to share between two hungry girls! Under the helpful waiter’s recommendation the selection of food suitably tantalised our taste buds and left us with a full and satisfying feeling.Unknowingly we ended up spending three hours in there revelling in the friendly atmosphere and inviting fire .I thoroughly recommend Fumo to anyone, and my friend has gone back to Manchester to seek out Cicchetti, the Manchester restaurant from the San Carlo chain.A must go for anyone who wants and night out with delicious food, beautiful people and a buzzing atmosphere!
