Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

On the back from town, taxi driver recommended us, surprised to find it open was around 1. Great atmosphere inside, food was excellent we couldn't finish it all the portions were very good. Definitely go again

Been going with family since a little boy, retained original decor, excellent service. One of the best Indian food ive tasted. highly Recommend one of the best Original restaurants in Birmingham, it's the only one that's open late after midnight

I have been to this restaurant 3 times now (in 3 weeks) and it is absolutely brilliant. Decor is definitely not tacky (it's all a question of taste). The food really is extremely good - the garlic chilli chicken is the best I've ever had. It is unbelievably good value and you can even take your own booze, which is very unusual for a licensed place. The restaurant does have a very good wine selection though and the draft lager is apparently better than most pubs - according to my husband (and only £2.50 a pint). The owner, Mr Shah, and staff are great and nothing is too much trouble for them. Lovely place all round. Their Christmas Day menu is too good to be true - I couldn't get my breath! It is still comparatively new but will soon be one of the most sought after restaurants in the area.

best indian restaurant in wolverhampton. good service.

best indian restaurant in wolverhampton. good service.

I went out to Fumo with a few friends for after work drinks last week. I liked the vibe of it – the plates are perfect sizes for sharing and the cocktails taste great as well! Helped me relax after a stressful day in the office! It’s only a few minutes away from New Street so was easy to get home after our drinks!

Been going since it opened. I have gone with friends and work mates on different days and times and the food and service has been impecable. The owner has made us feel very special. The menu is varied which is lovely , I would deffo recommend and evening their as you will not be dissapointed as the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Try it and have a lovey orthentic night out !! B Suzanne

Disappointed with this restaurant. the food was sugary and oily and all main dishes tasted the same. the tandoori chicken was touch and obviously had been reheated. To add insult to injury we were overcharged and the management refused to resolve this!

Good service no dressing on the salad garnish starter was nice but main meal was not good spaghetti de fruits de mer which sounded amazing but was basically spaghetti in tomato sauce with a shop brought seafood cocktail I could of created better it was stodgy thankfully it was a kgb voucher if I would of paid full price I'd av been very disappointed and had to ask for everything eg pepper parmesan won't be going back.

Since Eugenio Cozzi took over this restaurant a few years ago I have seen it improve from good to outstanding, probably because excellence in a restaurant stems from the top, and Signor Cozzi clearly knows how to get the best out of his staff, perhaps because he has been a waiter and cook himself in the past, and still retains his enthusiasm for every aspect of the job – and consequently knows how to appoint good staff. That must be one reason why the waiters are unfailingly friendly and helpful, not only to me, a ‘regular (and by this I mean four times a week for lunch, and a few times a month in the evenings!) but equally so to those around me, some of whom are clearly first-timers; and the cooks are not only highly competent, but show imagination in attractively varying their dishes so as to please their customers As a diabetic, I could have found my choice limited, at lunchtime even by a menu whose range of choice is very generous at the price, but the staff make vigorous efforts to come up with something both suitable and enjoyable – and again I hear this happening to nearby customers when appropriate. I enjoy the ‘ambience’ as well as the food – the place buzzing with the noise of happy eaters, and friends meeting for a good gossip and to exchange news! What are my qualifications, you may ask, to pontificate like this? Well, I drive regularly to France, largely for the sun, the food and the wine, and find myself regularly in Beaune, Burgundy, whose restaurants are legendary, one of which, proudly sporting its ‘Bib Gourmand’, I have been patronising for 19 years. That is my yardstick! As a diabetic, I eat a lot of fish. I have paid a lot of money for fish in some distinguished restaurants in Burgundy, and I have yet to find a restaurant that can challenge Gino’s in this respect. We ‘afishionados’ are lucky to live in Birmingham, whose fish-market is as good as any in the realm, but, to get it, a restaurateur has to go regularly at crack of dawn and know the best stalls to visit and what to look for, and one who does is called Gino Cozzi! I have enjoyed superb lobster, halibut and sea bass, a la carte at Gino’s. I have also eaten equally memorable sardines for a starter on the lunch menu. As befits an Italian restaurant, the pasta is equally memorable for its range and excellent quality. Whatever the dish, its presentation is always a pleasure to the eye, and the service almost always fast and efficient. I write ‘almost’ because the staff are human beings, and when many customers, as they do, all want to come at about the same time and when the restaurant is nearly full, do not be surprised if, very occasionally, you have to wait a little longer than usual, or under extreme pressure the staff even get something wrong!

Have visited this restaurant several times over the past 12 months and it has been excellent each time . I am coeliac and have to avoid wheat, they have no problem in adapting recipes for me, I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I visited this bar for the first time 2 weeks a go with a group of friends to catch up, it was the perfect setting for the occasion, the staff were great and the drinks were splendid, such a great vibe, I can't wait to visit again!

We were a family of ten people spanning three generations ,The welcome was wonderful the atmosphere was fantastic from the moment we arrived, the food was amazing, all the staff were very attentive.We went back to our hotel a very happy family. " Thank you all so much"

San Carlo is an excellent dining experience! There have been a few local celebrities as well at San Carlo’s, footballers especially like the place, which adds to the excitement. The menu has a lot of variety and is not overpriced, so you always get value for money with quality food. A very reliable, high quality restaurant.

Very clean establishment with warm and friendly staff. Food excellent and prices keen

I visited Sabai Sabai recently, after having rather disappointing experiences at other local Thai restaurants. The whole evening with extremely enjoyable. We were promptly greeted and shown to our table. The choice on the menu is extensive. My friend and I chose a set menu platter for two, costing just over £20 each. Everything was delicious and just as beautiful as the foods I have tried on my two visits to Thailand. The amount put in front of us was enough to feed more than two of us, and I certainly left feeling like I needed to undo the top button of my jeans! The drinks menu was also pleasing and had a mixture of Thai beers, cocktails as well as standard drinks you would find in any decent restaurant. A truly fantastic restaurant I am looking forwarding to returning to.

Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Great food - generous portions, very good value for money. Not busy.

Nice friendly club with live karaoke. Bartenders are all nice, friendly and cute. No smoking room inside, nor a mirror in the toilet, not many people during weekdays but that's expected. Music is good and a great place for a fun night out with friends. Definitely worth checking out.
