Restaurants near Birmingham Orthodox Cathedral

What a very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic food.. Definitely will go again as the atmosphere was very warming.

Family meal to celebrate the end of Autumn school term - lovely welcome, excellent food and great service. Still Birmingham's finest classic Indian restaurant after nearly 60 years. Lovely decor - it's always reminded me of a set from a Bond film, probably Roger Moore's vintage! Thank you for a lovely evening.

From arriving, it was a fabulous set up, the lounge where we we had cocktails and canapés was lovely, then after half an hour we were taken to the restaurant upstairs. Course after delicious course arrived and were beautifully presented and explained. We thoroughly enjoyed them BUT as soon as we took the last bite and put the cutlery down, the plate was whisked away before we’d even chewed and swallowed. I did comment each time ‘ that’s too quick’ and it meant that we felt we were on a conveyor belt and rushed. We’d driven up from Kent ( booking an hotel for the night) and arrived at the hotel literally 40 minutes before our seating time and so we were wanting to relax but this meant we were rushed. And as soon as we finished our last course with wine still in our glasses, they wanted to move us back to the lounge for coffee and petit fours but I refused saying I wanted to finish my wine. As we commented to each other and compared it it to Aulis/Raby Hunt/ Frog/ L’enclume/ Roux at Landau/ Gavroche/ Fat Duck etc.. we decided this was far far too rushed and at that very moment I got my phone out and booked Aulis for our 5th time. Nice though Opheem was, I think we’ll stick to our Aktar at Home deliveries that we’ve had for the last 4/5 yrs and have them relaxing at home. The staff were excellent but the management have decided to maximise revenue by processing customers through - very sad.

Excellent service, the food was amazing especially the cauliflower cheese and the Lamb, will be back

Service was great! Really easy to order food via the App, our food arrived really quickly and was delicious! Food was reasonably priced, drinks were a tad on the expensive side! (£3.45 for a glass of Coke!) Staff were friendly and helpful- would definitely visit again!
