The quality of service is outstanding. The price is very very reasonable as well considering the range of food choices they have. I am well impressed with this place. I have never experienced such a great food experience in Birmingham before. Very Very good place to take friends and family for a dinner night and impress them. Very decent staff who will make you feel special. I will definitely recommend this place to all and everyone.

Service: We arrived first, placed our order, and while we waited several others placed orders.

We'll try another cafe next time we're in the Bullring.

I've really enjoyed Druckers every time I've been in a shopping frenzy and needed refreshment…read morebefore I passed out in my Kurt Geigers. The pastries and little parcels of delightful decadence gracing the bakery cases in Druckers can never be denied, so DONOTIREAPEATDONOT, go into Druckers if you're on a diet. How in the WORLD can you deny the yummy yummy soft goodness that is melt-in-your-mouth pastry and a thousand calories in every bite? You can't, so don't try to deny it. Druckers is on the expensive side, but that's because it's a posh little cafe. There are never squalling children in here, because parents don't usually want to buy their child a £5 chocolate mousse whilst on their way to The Entertainer. It's just quiet, couth adults reading or having a quiet chat over their delicious Viennese treats. Druckers also do very nice sandwiches, toasted or non, and some nice savoury salads and a few other sides. Their coffee and selection of teas are broad and all very tasty. The service is nice and polite without being cloying. It really is a nice quiet atmosphere in which to get away from the hoi polloi whilst at The Bullring.

I really, really wanted to love Dolce Lounge. After being recommended I visit by a business…read morecontact, I had a quick look online to get some information. I discovered that the Cafe is a Independent venue set up by two Aston University Graduates to try and encourage more of a "Cafe Culture" in Birmingham. They have obviously put in a lot of work and hard graft to get it started, but it's just not there... yet. The little venue is based at the top of Corporation Street (passed the Law courts). It looks reasonably appealing from the outside (although the neon words listing it's wares does seem to cheapen the exterior), but I don't think it would drag you in unless you knew what was being offered. The first thing that caught me was the selection of Gelato. So many different flavors are on offer here, from Bubble Gum to Cheesecake your more traditional Chocolate flavored treat. The cakes also looked amazing! Beautiful, delicate and definitely sinful! As I am trying to eat healthy at the moment, I managed to avoid these temptations and just ordered a Red Berry tea (I tried for Peppermint, but they were out). I asked if I could sit around for a bit and do some work and was told I could sit downstairs (there are small tables designed for two) or upstairs where there is more room. I plumped for upstairs. The cafe has a lovely print of venice as wallpaper on the upstairs (obviously, again to put you in mind of the cafe culture). When I went up there, there were three other groups of people. Two of them were studying and one group was just... hanging out and having a chat. It all seemed quite nice... until someone decided that everyone needed to listen to rap... quite loudly. Now, I am not a fan of rap music at the best of times, but listening to a man shout at me whilst I'm trying to enjoy a nice cup of tea and get on with some work is not ideal. It was eventually turned down a touch, but the music seemed at odds with the relaxed, classy vibe the cafe was trying to create. That all being considered, I would pop back and give it another go. The cake and gelato are too much of a draw not to try this venue again. I only paid around £1.75/£1.85 for my cup of tea, so the prices seem about right. I didn't ask the prices of the desserts, but I will update next time...

Ordered from this place over the weekend and although the portion sizes are not huge the shakes and…read moredesserts are pretty good! I decided I would go for the peanut brownie milkshake and the Dolce Royale Sundae. Both came in a standard size glass you would get a large take away milkshake in and were well made and super sweet and exactly as advertised. The only downside to this place is the wait time for the order to arrive...... it took around 1h15 to get to my door. If you have a sweet craving you better order from here as soon as you realize.....otherwise by the time this place delivers you may have already manned up and made the trip to the shop to stock up on five family bags of m&ms!

A very regular and favourite restaurant with many Asian communities, it's a very well trusted establishment with high quality food. I've been going here for years with family and genuinely LOVE their food. They have a huge plethora of great Indian food, including; mixed thalis, take away Indian sweets, samosas, pakoras, curries, Vegetable wraps, snacks, rasmali.... etc. My recommendation would be try the mixed thali at £4.95, which includes 2 curries of your choice, dahl, rice, yogurt, and 2 roti's or 2 naan breads. Great value, not too spicy and the taste is brilliant. For take away, try the paneer samosas ( if they have any left! ), and ask the attendant to make up a mixed box of sweets for you, you'll be hooked. And finally, the ice-cold Mango lassi to wash it all down with. If you have any money left, ask for the chickpea curry, a medium sized box is enough for 3 people to share. They also cater for special occasions, and on several visits I have seen customers pre-order up to 50 samosas to takeaway. There are always queues, lunchtimes are busy, and on special Hindu festivals, such as Diwali, you can't get into the shop, as it's packed out, and they queue goes onto the street. It's extremely popular, and the food uses traditional authentic and fresh ingredients. The flavours are as you would expect, but they know good Indian cooking. Milan's has a name for itself, and you'll always find families, business men and even youngsters eating out in here on a date! You will not be disappointed with the food, service and quality. Maybe 1 day I can buy some shares in this business....

I love everything about this place but also the general area. We usually have a Masala Dhosa and sample a few sweets before buying about £30 worth of their amazing samosas, bhajis, etc. to last until our next trip to Brum! Another thing, when you've tasted their samosas, you'll never be able to taste Tesco's/Sainsbury's ones again! As mentioned in a previous review, this place can get very busy, in fact just last weekend after we finished eating, it started to fill up. There were 7 people sitting at the tables and about 10 in a queue waiting for orders. It's no surprise this place is popular and I'd recommend it to all, even if (like me) you're not really into Indian food.

Based on the atmosphere and quality of wine, I love this little spot. It is so cosy. We were the only customers in the store and received superb service. The owner runs this location and a few other shops, plus hosts food tents at festivals during Christmas. She came over to our table and made some wine recommendations and gave us a bowl of crisps on the house. My partner, Seth S., and I both ordered the Pinot Noir from Romania. It was delightfully full-bodied and smooth. The lighting is dimmed just enough to encourage good conversation and a comfortable atmosphere. There are two main rooms for seating, each with groupings of chairs or booths around bistro style tables. The art and decor feel like a brasserie. I would highly recommend The Deli for a delicious glass of wine (or 3) and great conversation with friends.

Breakfast Review:…read more One of the best Full English breakfasts in the Midlands! Its a wonderful deli, on the High Street in Boldmere, with outdoor seating - which is superb when the sun comes out! The breakfasts are awesome. Superb sausages, great bacon, exceptional bread, (the deli sells some of the best bread in Birmingham). 2 succulent sausage, 2 bacon, fried egg, 2 half tomatoes, mushrooms. toast, quality butter. Its one of the best in Birmingham, (I rate it joint 2nd). The staff are great, headed by Pip the owner and her team of assistants, (including sons). The only real problem with this place is that I always spend a fortune on their amazing cheeses, breads, cakes and pate's. Try it. You will thank me!

This is where I usually mildly dread things, and politely keep my mouth shut about my aversion to Italian food. We were a large party so ordered ahead on the set menu which was actually a really good choice. Over fifty percent of the people on our table ordered the beef stroganoff, which was apparently amazing (and it did smell good). Nearly all of us had three courses, I had the whitebait to start, which smelt quite fishy, but didn't taste it. I think they were probably slightly overdone, but they still tasted good. Salmon for main, and it was a huge portion, with some of the best seasoned potatoes i've had on the little side of veggies that came with it. The chocolate cake was chocolate cake, and the semifreddo was gorgeous. The service was lovely, and attentive, with the little things like replacing a knife without having to ask. All for £25 with coffee or tea I'd say it's pretty good value. Expect to pay upwards of £18 for a bottle of wine. It wasn't perfect, but it was a lovely setting- and everyone left happy and full.
