When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

    Probably one of the best eating out experiences we’ve had in our lives, and we’re now in our fifties. Just an amazing experience, and a lot of food over 10 courses (plus at least 5 mini courses!) on the taster menu. What a triumph, so proud of what Aktar Islam has created in Brum. We are so lucky to have you and Opheem.

    I've wanted to go to Opheem for a while and managed to get a table for lunch. We had the 5 course tasting menu and wine pairing. The food was mostly excellent. The snacks and surprises were thoughtful and interesting, the carrot dish and the main were great. I felt the desert was less inventive but presented well. The wine flight was disappointing. 4 small glasses of average wine for close to £100 was expensive. The inclusion of a mid-priced champagne that can be brought from Waitrose didn't seem appropriate for me. The others were ok but not too memorable. I think I was expecting something more special in a 2 Michelin starred restaurant. The pre-dinner cocktails also came out very quickly and I expect these are just made in batches ahead of time. They were ok but seemed like a misstep. Overall with a bill of £550 for 2 I can't say I'd recommend this experience to others. I came out a bit disappointed but didn't want to upset my dining partner by making a fuss.
