Attentive service, excellent food, beautiful presentation. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back.

A Culinary Masterpiece at Opheem Dining at Opheem was an unforgettable experience that left us in awe of both the artistry and passion behind its exceptional cuisine. Opting for the 5-course tasting menu during our visit on Wednesday evening, we were treated to a journey of flavours that were as refined as they were inventive. Each dish was a testament to the creative genius of Chef Aktar Islam and his team, blending traditional Indian influences with modern techniques in ways that delighted the senses. From the very first bite, it was clear that each plate had been crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The balance of flavours, the textures, and the presentation were flawless—elevating every course into a work of art. It was impossible to pick a favourite dish as every course brought something unique to the table, showcasing a remarkable depth of culinary skill. The service was equally impeccable. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, their knowledge of the dishes and wine pairings enhancing the entire experience. Every interaction felt warm and genuine, creating an atmosphere of relaxed elegance that perfectly complemented the meal. The highlight of the evening, however, was our post-dinner conversation with Chef Aktar Islam. His dedication to his craft and his customers was evident in every word, and it was truly inspiring to hear firsthand about his culinary philosophy. It is rare to encounter a chef so committed to pushing boundaries while maintaining such a profound respect for the origins of his cuisine. Opheem is not just a restaurant; it is an experience—one that transcends dining and enters the realm of art. We left feeling not only satisfied but deeply inspired. This is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates extraordinary food and exceptional hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning to see what new creations await us.

Wonderful Dining Experience at Piccolino We had an amazing meal at Piccolino. Two of us ordered the tagliatelle with salmon, which was absolutely delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his risotto with smoked haddock, and our friend had a gluten-free pasta dish (though I can’t recall which one) that she also loved. Every main course was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For starters, we shared garlic bread, olives, bruschetta, and arancini — all of which were delightful. To finish, we had the gelato and the panettone bread and butter pudding. The pudding was especially impressive, being both light and flavorful. The service was outstanding, thanks to our lovely server with long hair and glasses. Her warm and friendly personality really made our evening special. Apologies, we can’t remember her name, but she truly enhanced our experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect, making it an all-around excellent experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

I've never been disappointed each time I've visited.

Such a shame that Laghis is closing tonight, Hopefully the fantastic skills of the chefs and the front of house staff will be recognised and an opportunity arise for them to work together in another restaurant in Birmingham.
