"Discovered this place by accident and was not disappointed. A wonderful gem hidden away in the heart of the shopping district in Coventry city, opp West Orchids shopping centre. It is a family business, hence the attention to detail in service, quality of food and shop decor. Enchanting and relaxing. The ambience was just great and I love the Oriental/Middle Eastern vibe inside. This is not a greasy spoons cafe nor is it a pompous high-end restaurant. However, it is a place for great food and provides a place to unwind and retreat from the world outside. I came for a late lunch (a halal lamb wrap with chips) which was absolutely delicious. Knowing I was staying one night in Coventry and having checked the menu, I decided was going to return for the vegetarian breakfast the next day. Again, I was not disappointed. The ambience was great, food was fantastic and staff polite and welcoming. I would give Bagel Brunch 6 stars if I could. Can't praise it enough. I returned to Bagel Brunch yesterday and again, was not disappointed. The place was buzzing as expected. This time I ordered a chicken bagel and it was the best bagel I’ve had in a long time! The yoghurt and mint dressing with chicken, in a lightly toasted sesame bagel, were just the perfect combination. Staff are always polite. I hope this family business bounces back in leaps and bounds after Covid. They deserve to continue to do well."

"Heading to the near Craufurd Arms for a gig and looking for something to eat beforehand we happened across Zouk Lounge quite by accident and as we all enjoy Lebanese food decided to give it a try after first checking that there was plenty of veggie options (which there was) as 2 of our 3 strong party are vegetarian. Gabriella (from Romania) was our charming waitress who seated us and was very informative when it came to enquiring about the various veggie options on offer. She recommended the ‘Lobia’ dish to me (Lebanese spiced whole green beans cooked with fresh tomato sauce) which I then ordered whilst my brother and our friend also choose veggie options and we then decided to share these amongst us all and also decided to add a couple of side dishes. Very impressed with all the food served to us; all freshly cooked, nicely presented, tasted delicious and served to us in a timely fashion. No complaints. After dinner Gabriella enquired if we’d like to relax in their Shisha lounge located at the rear of the restaurant whilst she prepared a shisha pipe and some aperitifs for us. We accepted her offer and retired to the shisha lounge. Once Gabriella had served our aperitifs she enquired as to whether I would like to take control of the music in the lounge over their Bluetooth connection which I gladly excepted and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to stay a little longer for another round of cognac and G T’s before we headed off to the nearby gig; only just arriving before the show started in the end as we’d spent nearly a full 2 hours in Zouk Lounge. All in all, a really enjoyable dinner; fantastic food, a charming and friendly waitress (Gabriella) and a real surprise and extra treat to learn of the shisha bar at the rear of the restaurant after our meal. We will definitely be back for a return visit the next time we are in the area."
