"Booked for three people for a family meal. Two other tables already served, so our order was taken promptly and first of the 'not available ' messages. No draft beer. Ordered starters and main courses and waited the customary times then waiter came to announce that selected starter of calamari was not available. After starter but before main courses were served waiter announced 'cash only ' as card machine was not working, which meant one of our party had to go to the cash machine. One main course chosen was subsequently announced as not available. Offered the dessert menu but waiter told us only one item was available or ice cream, but only vanilla. Asked for coffee and told it was not available. Would have been very simple to point out 'cash only ' before ordering, and to present menu with a mention of what was not available. More like hard work than enjoyable."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sabai Sabai in Harborne, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a lovely, welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. But of course, the real star of the show was the food. I tried several different dishes, but the one that really stood out to me was the Seabass in Garlic and Pepper. This dish was an absolute masterpiece the fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and tender, juicy flesh inside, and the garlic and pepper seasoning was absolutely divine. It was one of the most delicious dishes I have ever had the pleasure of eating, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sabai Sabai. But the Seabass in Garlic and Pepper was just one of many highlights on the menu at Sabai Sabai. Every dish I tried was full of bold, vibrant flavors and fresh, high quality ingredients. The chefs clearly take great pride in their work, and it shows in every bite. Overall, I would give Sabai Sabai a five star rating without hesitation. From the friendly staff to the cozy atmosphere to the absolutely amazing food, everything about this restaurant was truly outstanding. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Harborne, be sure to pay Sabai Sabai a visit you won't be disappointed."

"I have been to the Beeston Lobster Pot, so I was expecting great quality but this still exceeded expectations. We ordered a few starters to share which we unfortunately forgot to photograph. They were all very good, especially the Haddock Chowder. For main course we ordered the Ultimate Seafood Platter which had delights of lobster, clams, crabs, prawns and oysters. The lobster had a choice of sauces and we had the cheese option this time. We enjoyed the evening tremendously, not only because of the marvellous food but also because of the magnificent service, which was friendly and informal, making things very comfortable. The overall cost is a little more than other restaurants but I feel that the quality of the food and the excellent service easily justify the extra cost. I have spoken to my dining partner and we will be returning to try other options."

"First and last visit. I took my family for a celebration meal last night. The food was not even as good as average, the chicken tika was more plane char grilled chicken that was pale in colour, none of the food was piping hot, more warm, the only thing with a half decent flavour was a vegetable korma, iv been to dozens of Indian restaurants and never been charged for the dips that go with the poppadoms. I made a comment about the tika and they offered to replace it but my daughter declined as we were all eating together, most of it was left on the dish yet I was still charged 12:99 for 3 pieces of awful chicken, had my daughter asked me not to I'd have refused to pay for it and deducted the automatic service charge that really wasn't justified. so, even with no alcohol at the table I was still stung nearly £170 for four adultsand onechild. Very over priced, not good service and bellow average food. Unfortunately I won't be returning."

"Been going to Kishmish for 15 years (the same time as their outstanding chef has been there ! . The food is consistently excellent the tandoori chicken and lamb chops are the best I've had anywhere! Some great dishes both traditional and new. Staff and manager really friendly and attentive. We love Kishmish !"

"The food was average , the waiters in general didn’t care and the service was poor. One of the waiters spilt water whilst pouring into the glass onto one of our friends arm and just ignored and went on his way no apology no tissues to wipe etc. we had to ask around to get tissues to wipe the mess the waiter made. I have to say though the main waiter for our table was ok. Will never return and would not recommend it to anyone either."

"We went for afternoon tea on Christmas Eve and were very disappointed. The meal consisted of processed ham, processed cheese slices, puree, and egg mayonnaise. We were only offered a selection of frozen cakes, and had to ask for tea, which was not offered. The tea selection was also lacking. The atmosphere was not pleasant, with open crackers on the window bar and a pipe with a large hole in the curtain from previous guests. The carpet under our table was covered in debris from a previous party. We paid £15 per person for a meal that we could have bought for £3 from a supermarket. We have been meeting this family for seven years but will not be returning after this experience. The staff was unfriendly and the excuses from management were unacceptable. I will be reaching out personally via email to express my dissatisfaction. This was a major disappointment and we will not be recommending this restaurant."

"I have tried this place twice so far and the food is exceptional. We have vowed never to go anywhere else for Caribbean food. However first experience was great, and I had left a note for the restaurant to deliver to front door (when you print in my postcode it brings you around the back entrance) as I am disabled and the back way has steps leading down to it I find it very difficult to get down there. So the delivery man delivered to the front door. Second experience... food was great once again but the man rang me to say he was out the back and when I got down the steps he was few doors down the road. I waited at my gate and he wouldn’t drive up to me so I had to walk to the car and even then he just undone his window and passed me the food! I found it very difficult to get to the driver and I found this very rude. But as for the food it is lovely. Maybe it’s best to collect next time."

"I recommend this place very much! the two brothers waiting for us were absolutely fantastic. they were so friendly and we had so much sharpened with them it was funny. the atmosphere is very relaxed and cooled, definitiw felt comfortable there and eating was not so good. I couldn't owe it. they have all curries tailored to our own individual flavoring preferences, fresh, authentic and tasteful. yes, there was a light wait for the main thing, but fair to be, not so much longer than other places in the great scheme of the dinge, and I am more than happy to wait a little longer for food when it tastes good. if it is cooked to order what do they expect? Moreover, it meant that we go the appetizers and enjoy a drink and a chat while we waited. can't wait to go back."

"Ordered a chicken passanda and it was possibly the worst I’ve ever had, like eating sand it was so salty. Called them up to take it back and apparently there was a bit up with the salt in the kitchen. They gave us a korma instead but when asking for a partial refund back they just gave me 2 free popadoms and a sorry. We have just spent £50 there for a takeaway for 3 people and a partial refund I think is what is more than deserved. we are local too and have been a few times but most definitely this time was our last. For the sake of other people reading this review please do not go to the restaurant and go elsewhere."

"This place would not be for everyone but to me has to be one of Birmingham's best kept secrets. The outside of this place is a traditional boozer but as soon as you walk in you are hot with the smell of amazing Indian cooking! We were shown to our table and had our drink orders taken quickly....but don't be expecting restaurant table service this was a full on lean behind and order across the bar near where we were sat. Possibly one of the most relaxed services I have ever seen but the staff could not have done more for us. We ordered a large mixed grill to share and some masala seasoned fries....no I am not joking the food was insanely good. The platter was packed full of chicken, fish and lamb and everything was perfectly cooked and spiced. We had two cokes each while eating and the bill only came to 25! Amazing value and my friend said it was as good as the good she had while visiting India....I have not been but judging from the quality meal we had I want to go ASAP. Now I need to re-illiterate an earlier point this place is not a restaurant....it's a pub serving amazing food that is very much a traditional Brum Boozer. While we were in the place we watched the footy, chatted to some guys crowded round the bar and listened to some people singing football chants (it was some sort of football final) To me this adds to the charm but I know it wouldn't be for everyone. My advice....go here....eat all the meat...."

"my man and I saw the afternoon tea in savoy on google and when we arrived, we found that we wore casual clothes so that we didn't feel comfortable going in. we found the melba in the small load of the savoyen, which makes us very happy that we can taste some of their deserts. we had the celestial and creambule, both are perfect sweet, refreshing, and it was delicious. we took a star down because the first staff when we first came was not very friendly and treated us as invisible. but the second employees at least try to ask what we are looking for."

"I sought out Gem Fish Chips specifically because of the online fantastic reviews. I was so gutted when I rocked up on Tuesday night and they were closed. But, I rocked up again Wednesday evening and was so glad I did. Riva and Sean are so warm and welcoming. We had a lovely chat while Sean cooked the Cod and Chips to order. He even gave us a free tub of his new signature gluten free curry sauce to try! DIVINE. Everything was cooked to perfection. The batter was crispy but not too fatty. The fish was flaky and so tasty. The chips were amazing. We ordered medium portions and they were huge. We even had leftovers for the next day. Even the price was fantastic! £8 for a medium cod and chips! My advice is go try The Gem Fish and Chips in Falmouth but check when they are open!!"

"After booking this on the 18/8/2022 for 4 people you asked for special requests , I specifically asked for the table at the window as it was a special birthday , when I arrived we got put so from the window I was in shock ! I never mentioned anything on our arrival due to a couple already been seated after us ,I checked my emails as to look if I have been previously told that this request was not available but I did not , it completely ruined the expectations of our experience , this is only positive feedback as if you can’t make requests don’t ask"

"I had to wait until my second visit before writing a review just to make sure that my first visit wasn 't a fluke. I 'm pleased to say that my second visit was as good as the first and in some respects even better. This time I selected different Tapas dishes and I have to say that they were as delicious as on my previous visit. The portions are generous and the presentation is appealing, I love the wooden paddles and individual frying pans that they are served in. The staff are extremely accommodating and focused on making your dining experience a memorable one. I ordered a bottle of wine; nothing wrong with it other than the it was a little too bright for my taste. This is no reason to return a wine but the staff offered to replace the bottle with a different one; I declined as there was nothing wrong with the wine, after 15 minutes the brightness faded or perhaps after the first glass I stopped caring. I have never encountered such attention to customer satisfaction in all my years of dining out, at the time of writing this review I 'm making another reservation for this weekend."

"We were sightseeing in the area all day, and were tired and hungry. We found this lovely Indian restaurant. The proprietor was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. We had Lamb Rogan Josh and a lovely prawn dish in coconut milk and spices with garlic naan. A lovely calm oasis close to the Borough Market."

"I booked on the line, which was simple, but could be easier. Maybe the use of my phone was not a good idea. the day and the time were available. we were met by a beautiful maitre de who sat on a beautiful table. he was polite, friendly and helped to choose our drinks and meals. eating was extraordinary. I had the whispers and the juice was very garlic. delicious. partner had fish and chips. they offered garden beans because he doesn't like muddy heels. we have not been rushing. the restaurant was busy, but it felt not tormented. a beautiful meal in a beautiful environment"

"Yeah, the food here is reasonable, delivery was fast but holy hell the customer service is absolutely appalling. I had an item missing off of my order from Deliveroo so called up to ask if it was an accident could they re deliver it. First I got told, they couldn 't find my order and to call back in 5 minutes. I called back 5 minutes later and got told they don 't deliver the item, then that I didn 't order the item that was missing (it was part of a meal deal) and then that he needs to call his manager. When I started asking why it was necessary to call a manager over 2 pieces of cake I got so much verbal abuse it was unbelievable. I then got promptly hung up on! I waited to cool down and then called back to ask when they were going to deliver the item, the verbal abuse and ranting continued. Shouting over my voice with la, la, la shut up and being told to go to Deliveroo to get my order fixed. Fine, I 'll do that. Some time later the manager Alex called me back and was quite kind and offered to send me the item. I sincerely hope the guy who hung up on me twice and verbally abused me loses his job."
