I am glad that middle eastern community is realising that this city needs some authentic middle eastern 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. read more
