We used to be obsessed with their roasted broad beans and their chilli bites that we couln't find anywhere else. They do a large range of sarnies, ciabattas and rolls. It's a lovely place tahat is not over priced and makes a change from the likes of Greggs. Next time your on the way to Bradgate Park (don't think it's open on sunday), stop off and stock up with goodies. You won't be disappointed

The meats counter is great with a good selection, they sell so many different sauces, jams, herbs etc etc. I could spend hours just wondering around and looking at everything. Not exactly cheap but most things you would struggle to find in mainstream supermarkets so worth paying the price.

We walk past The Deli around once a week when grocery shopping and finally decided to pop in for a…read moreglass of wine over the weekend. 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!

As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

I'm usually in here for breadcrumbs, falafel mix, vegetarian burger mix, tahini, and my new favourite-Gits' ready meals. No giggling at the back! These are Indian-made authentic boil-in-the-bag vegetarian meals that are ready in 4 minutes and are as ideal for a lunchtime treat at home as they are for festivals and/or camping. The longer I stay in here the more things I'll see and buy, which I'm happy with, as I save loads by buying my basics at small supermarkets, so I can spend more on proper luxury! Like Belgian chocolate cups that you can use as the basis for bite-size desserts, or for liquors. And pavlova bases to pile Summer fruits on for a pudding to share. In the chilled cabinet are cooked meats and cheeses. At the counter you can buy Iranian sweets and a box of cigarettes. Nima is traditional, exotic and friendly. As it's one of Moseley's most long-standing independents, it also feels righteous to shop here. You'll appreciate the foods and they'll appreciate your custom.

The place has a wonderful atmosphere too which makes you unaware whether its 2014 or 1954. I really love this place but I am scared that unless people use it they will suffer at the hands of the 'big boys'. Support deli's like this, they are a rare and wonderful thing.

There are also things like preserves and biscuits etc. It also has its own little cosy cafe which is well worth a visit if you can get a seat as its so popular. This shop is a real treat for anyone who likes good quality fresh foods. It could be bigger size wise and would still be full but that doesnt take away from the quality hence the 5 stars.

Popped in to get some lunch to take to the Riverside Gardens. So much choice! I decided to go for a…read moresalad. While it was tasty, I think for £2.90 it wasn't value for money. It was 90% rocket which is hard to eat in that quantity and I didn't! It may be my fault, but I forgot to ask for a fork, assuming that one would be included along with a napkin, which wasn't either! Eating hummous, beans and beetroot outside with my fingers was an experience! But I don't want to do it again, so please give your takeaways a fork and napkin, or at the least ask if they are required. xx

Visited the deli today and expected better. We went in to coffee and also ordered two scones. The…read morecoffee was in cardboard cups, the scones put in paper bags with butter and a disposable knife. We sat outside with no plates for the scones, just putting them on the bags. Then we found the scones were dry and the coffee pretty average. We expected more from a deli. We felt like we were camping out rather than giving ourselves a treat and having morning coffee and cake. The place looks delightful but is let down by its style. We will not be going to the deli again, especially as the cafe opposite uses cups and plates. So, if you don't mind you coffee in cardboard, your cake in, and on, a paper bag then this place would be fine for you .

In addition there was also an interesting selection of pre-made spice packs for creating Indian dishes like jalfrezi, aloo gobi and biryani rice, to name but a few. A great local find, with an interesting range of products, we will definitely be returning.

This would be a wonderful place to sit in the summer because it is a bit a sun trap. The courtyard is fairly large and the walls are adorned with old food signs like Brooke Bond tea. Inside the spacious nature continues, with tables of varying sizes, both upstairs and downstairs; it never feels cramped like some cafes can feel. Menu wise, very comprehensive, from breakfasts to lunches and more formal dinners. Prices seem initially on the high side for the food, but when you see what you get for your money, you'll see why. We've only dined there for breakfast, and are yet to try the delightful cakes on offer or the tempting looking lunches. However, the breakfasts fare is very impressive, from a full English Breakfast, to generous sausage and egg cobs, to my personal favourite - the scrambled eggs on toast. Too often scrambled eggs can be tasteless, but at the Courtyard Cafe they are a real triumph, full of flavour and a portion to fit even the heartiest of appetites. Haven't hit on a decent hot drink to go with it yet though, the coffee is very weak and flavourless, still it will be fun trying when the food is this good!
