I am glad that middle eastern community is realising that this city needs some authentic middle…read moreeastern restaurants. This restaurant has exceeded my expectations in the authenticity of arabic and lebanese cuisine in Birmingham. I am glad to say that I don't have to plan to go to edgware road in london to have good arabic food. It is all here now. Inside the restaurant they have ample seating space including curtained family rooms. The service is very good, the waiters are well mannered compared to some other arabic restaurants near by where they have no bloody manners. Not to mention any names. When eating out I carefully choose which restaurant to eat, especially if I am dressed up nice I don't want my clothes to stink of the food when I come out of the restaurant and this restaurant is on my top list now. You can't smell any food when you enter. Its clean and well equipped with ventilation system. Even if you are going to sit right next to the Shawarma counter, you won't smell any thing and you will come out of the restaurant still smelling nice with your aftershave of perfumes. When I ordered my food I specifically asked the waiter if the food will be as it is meant to be in middle eastern countries as I told him that I have not had any good arabic food in this city, the waiter smiled at me and said they are all fake. I kind of agree with him. Shwarma is the main dish I ordered to see if the waiter's claims were right about they having the authentic food and yes when the food arrived I was totally blown away. Nice and tender meat of lamb and chicken shawarma as it meant to be.. Lamb Tagine, Humous, Laban, Mixed Kafta they all tasted so tender and juicy with that authentic taste of middle eastern food. This restaurant has got lots of options on menu to choose from starters, side dishes, main courses, desserts, juices, ice creams, cakes, all tasting yummy. Fully recommend this place to all to try. If you are meat eater and like good food, then this is the place to be. Price is right as well, I would say mid range prices as with all the restaurants usually are. Most of the staff is arabic speaking but they do understand english, maybe won't be able to speak much english but they know what we are talking about in english. If you speak arabic then they will give you the best service ever, a bonus I guess. Parking is a problem at day time but in the evening there is plenty of parking spaces available around the restaurant on main coventry road.

Bader specialise in Lebanese and Arabic cuisine, although they have pasta dishes to cater for…read morevegetarian customers. The place looks like a fast-food joint with an open-front kitchen where customers can see their food being prepared. We dined in the private family room at the back that is designed for Muslim women, which is a cultural norm. However, the room was dingy, outdated and sticky with filth. The staff were happy to clean the table when this was brought to their attention. The food was tasty but cold and we were all served at different times, which defeated the object of dining out with friends. Sadly, we left mid-meal when we saw a disturbingly large termite crawling along the wall. When this was brought to the attention of the manager, he offered to seat us elsewhere with a complimentary meal. We declined and left without paying.

I had a chance to go to this place today. Was expecting something special but it was just ok. The…read moreseatings are ok. seperate area for families and non smokers. Not too much choice of food. The food tasted more like asian than lebanese or turkish. The price is high for what they are offering. Did'nt enjoy the food at all or the environment. Maybe they need to get some training from proper middle eastern cooks.

Has anyone tried Lebanese cuisine in Birmingham before? I…read moredon't think so... but now you can... this place has some great food, a pure taste of lebanese food. All the authentic middle eastern food you can get is here.. pure The price is average but you will get plates full of meat and rice or chunky chips, which I dare if you can finish all of it. I had been there three time, once with my company colleagues, once on my own and once with my friend, and on all occasions i could'nt finish my ordered dish. it is full of meaty ricy yummy plates, its so delicious that you don't want to stop eating. Good range of most of the famous lebanese cuisine choice. Upstairs place for families and couples. Downstairs is always busy with people eating those big plates full of yummy food. But one thing i was very disappointed, was the staff. There is one person in the staff, he is very rude with customers and most of the time he won't listen to you. and if you ask him to bring some water, you will get the water at the end of your meal after reminding him again and again for water. I wish they get rid of him or concentrate more on their staff manners. Its a typical arab style dealing with customers, rude style as its known in UK... otherwise if you want some good food and desserts, this is the place. The one and only middle eastern food with pure middle eastern taste.

My review is based on the T-bone steak me and my wife both ordered…read more Mines had about 20% bone, 30% inedible fat, 40% fat riddled meat and 10% clean meat. My wifes was about 10% better than mine. The flavour was decent where there was flavour , most of it tasted plain. The service was fast and decent. The tables and chairs were as CLEAN as ive ever seen which was good. Will eat there again but will steer well clear of the fat n bone, oops I mean T-Bone steak.

Had a belly dancer and they got us up to join in....great fun! Now I'll be honest, I'm not really in to the food. Nothing bad but I'm just not into Lebanese/Syrian food so I really can't complain or comment. So I would definitely recommend it (if you like that style of food) cos it's got charming character and fun for groups. Very accommodating to my friend who has a specific diet and just all round good night.

The staff are nice, the food is similar to the other arab restaurants in the area and yes its very tasty. Only minus is that its located in the end of Coventry Rd far from the crowded area which can be a good thing as well if you prefer privacy. Also this restaurant has its own parking and thats even better. Its good for families and going out on special occasions, only thing is that you need to reserve sometimes, it can be busy in weekends and Islamic celebrations.
