I visited here two weeks ago. Prior to coming, I messaged the cafe via instagram to find out if they catered for gluten free and diary intolerances (not the same person). To my delight they said they did and so decided to pay them a visit. When you step inside here, you cannot believe you are in bearwood. It has a lovely atmosphere. We were there for a friend’s catchup, but there was also a mother and child sat nearby and also couples. The cafe does not take bookings and so be prepared there may be a wait. We were fortunate enough to find a table. The cafe were very accommodating for me and my friend who is gluten free, and were great at suggesting substitutions. I ordered the sweetcorn fritters and asked for the cheese to be removed as I have a diary intolerance. They asked if I wanted more avocado instead and I declined, instead opted for more pomegranate. (I think there was already half an avocado on the dish anyway). I also ordered a side portion of turka beans. The food was generally yummy. The sweetcorn dish was really tasty. I was also looking forward to the turka beans, which didn’t go with my meal, but had them on the side and in fairness was a large sized portion. I didn’t really enjoy them though as they put hard crunchy chickpeas in throughout. I still ate them as the side dish was expensive, and just picked the chickpeas out and gave to my friend! The above lunch cost me over £20 hence the 4* rating. Food was nice, but feel the price was a bit steep for a small cafe in bearwood. Or has everything just gone mega expensive?!

A little Cousy gem! Wanted brunch like food on our way home, while looking for chai this little gem came up on my search 🔍 we went there and I got my chai but also got my vegan version of no bread burger, which is what exactly I wanted! Lovely presentation and flavourful food 🥘 🙏

LOVE this café! Myself and my partner moved to the area a year ago and have constantly come back to this café, we love it. We're both veggie and there's a fab range of veggie options which are all super tasty. Great savoury and sweet options, particularly love the pistachio pancakes and french toast. Staff are really lovely too and it's always a nice vibe.

Nice small cafe in Bearwood. Ordered the Egg Royale which consisted of smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce on sourdough bread. Bit on the pricey side but the presentation was excellent and food was 10/10. Eggs were cooked to perfection with a lovely runny yolk. Sauce complimented the salmon extremely well and sourdough bread was toasted just right. Loved the little extras like the radishes and greens on top. Also ordered a side of spicy beans which tastes great and goes with any dish.

An amazing establishment, highly recommend if you’re looking for a breakfast/brunch spot. High quality food with authentic homemade twists. Tomatoes were seasoned lovely, the homemade beans were so flavourful and not your typical out the can rubbish. Potato rosti perfectly seasoned, best breakfast Ive had in Birmingham! The hot drinks were top quality too!

I've been going to Paul's for a while now as the perfect spot to stop on a day browsing up and down Harborne high street. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming, and even when it gets busy the team will do their best to let you know when seating will be available and offer to get in touch to let you know so you can continue shopping while you wait. The food is always amazing, there's a range of items on offer, all day brunch, great lunch options, sweet dishes and cakes, all to suit a range of appetites and dietary requirements. There's so many good options I've often had difficulty deciding and the team have been helpful in helping advise and adapting where possible. Would recommend Paul's to anyone visiting the area!

The perfect neighbourhood place. I don't live locally and was only stopped by for breakfast but it was really lovely. The food was great, the service was so friendly and it was amazing to be in a place run by people who love it. I wish I could come by more often. If you have the chance to stop by, absolutely do it's worth your time and money.

I was here at 8am this morning. Clean, bright and airy. Friendly staff. Locals who knew the staff were constantly coming in while I was there, having a chat which made for a good atmosphere. The ingredients were all very good quality including the coffee; the home made beans and rosti were really nice and unique. I was very happy and very satisfied, thoroughly recommended.

I went here for a coffee after getting my hair done at MJ’s Hair Salon as part of my little pampering treat to myself and all I can say is… Wow. I am only really going off the incredible Persian Chai Latte & wedge of baklava, with occasional other drinks and cakes. It is the only place I know that has incredible baklava AND doesn’t give teeny tiny bites for big prices. Instead, your massive cake-sliced wedge will cost about £4.50. It’s all beautifully presented with little dried mini rose buds. Only issue is omg they can keep you waiting for ages if it’s busy - one new person forgot about me 😹 It’s also very popular as it is so nice so at times it’s a bit full. However, that is always a good sign. Lastly, the other good sign is that the cafe is often full of Persian clientele. They are happy to eat the British/Persian fusion food and I’m sure that if the food wasn’t up to scratch, they wouldn’t go - there are other popular venues at the other end of Hagley Road offering Persian food or cafe fusion options. Loving it. Added a couple of photos of the Persian Chai Latte and the Baklava wedge.

Amazing experience here again. First happened upon this Café by a chance Google search when looking for food nearby pending an event. Full English was excellent, service was exemplary and the coffee was incredible. Tried again today and had the Persian breakfast. The food was incredible again, even better than last time! Service again exemplary. Will definitely be revisiting on numerous occasions.

I'm hard to please but i felt over satisfied here. They're amazing,we ordered Persian breakfast which was absolutely phenomenal,the looks and the taste was extraordinary 🤩 cesar salad was the best I've had in the uk so far . We were complemented by both hot drinks and water on the house which makes your experience wonderful while waiting for your order. The Place was busy but the service wasn't affected by the busy-ness !!!! Which is very hard to handle all your customers to the fullest of your possible potential. In my experience It's very common that the service gets worse and worse while having too many customers,this wasn't the case here at westwood . I'm thrilled to say that i can't complaint about anything, everything was at it's best . Totally enjoyed ourselves. Staff were brilliant and careing, they must have a great leader .price was cheap aswell considering what we received definitely recommend them ,5 stars all the way .

I wish there was a 10 for service. This place has the best customer service ever. They are always smiling they always give you a little extra either a hot chocolate or a smoothie. Wonderful. The place is clean and inviting. It is Halal/ Vegetarian. You really must go and support them.

Wow! A lovely modern little cafe. Great food selection and combinations. They also do all day breakfasts. We had cakes to go which were of excellent quality. They have a good selection of teas, which you can purchase by the cup or a pot. There is parking outside on the street or in the layby.

My heating was broken on a really cold day and we waited for an engineer that could fix it. One engineer came and could not do it, we waited again. The engineer arrived and persevered for two hours to diagnose and fix our heating He left at around 9pm after working all day. He was brilliant and kind and I would definitely use the company again.

Our first visit to tropea and we will definitely be back! The food was incredible, the burrata and mussels were particularly amazing, as well as the tiramisu. The atmosphere is lovely in there and the servers are all so knowledgeable and attentive, the service from Asher was particularly great! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it isn’t cheap but definitely worth it for a treat or special occasion

Was extremely pleased with this restaurant and staff were very friendly from the moment you enter. I had some booking issues but was able to resolve them quickly through email and received a prompt call to follow my issue. The solution was clearly explained and made it easy to find an alternative. In terms of food, everything was delicious and well plated. Food came out in a timely manner and more surprisingly, menus also included a small message celebrating the occasion! Truly get a taste of every dish if you can but if not, get the Arancino and salt aged-beef fillet carpaccio for starters. For pasta, the linguine with red prawns was tangy and flavoursome but meat lovers would enjoy the Tagliatelle with venison shoulder ragu. The grilled octopus was delightful and meaty and balanced well with the roasted pumpkin with ricotta. Dessert is certainly difficult to choose but the tiramisu was wonderful, fluffy but also still maintained the coffee flavour well! The panna cotta was amazingly refreshing with rhubarb and wafer~ Only thing that isn’t really a negative but just funny was a slight change to my name but honestly made the experience more memorable. I really appreciate the effort and care in every detail to ensure comfort and ease whilst dining! Overall glad I came and shoutout to the team there for making this service amazing from beginning to end! You all deserve a lot of love 🫶🏼

Second time visiting this restaurant and 1st time after the refurb. The refurb is definitely made the whole experience much better as there is so much more room. You can see from the picture we were sat in a new booth which was nice. The food like the 1st time was very nice, the honest review is that it all tastes fresh. Waiters are very helpful to advise how many dishes to get and which dishes are popular. There was even a special dish that we ordered that was not on the menu. Trying to find parking can be an issue. There are vegetarian options however the menu does not state which are therefore you need to ask, it would be ideal if the menu had the (v) or (vg) next to the dish.

The quality of the food/ingredients is amazing. Even seemingly “simple” dishes are just bursting with flavour. The service is friendly and attentive, but relaxed and the new refurb is absolutely stunning. Ordered slightly too much and no regrets! Had the the burrata, arrancina, gnocchi and broccoli&pumpkin. Stunning all round.

Excellent service, a very reasonable price and friendly. I had electricity taken to my garden room via an armoured cable. They completed the work to a high standard and installed plug points, an LED strip light and an outdoor security light. They also installed a new plug socket in the house as well. Overall, I’m very happy with the service and I would highly recommend.

Upon entering this charming café, I was greeted with a warm and genuine welcome from the attentive staff, setting a positive tone for the visit. The interior’s design exudes a blend of modern elegance and cozy comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere that’s both visually appealing and relaxing. Perusing the menu, I opted for the slow-cooked beef stew, accompanied by steamed rice and a side of spring rolls. The stew was a triumph, its rich, hearty flavors melding seamlessly with tender chunks of beef, each bite offering a comforting depth that suggested careful preparation. The spring rolls, crisp and golden, delivered a satisfying crunch and a burst of fresh flavors that complemented the meal beautifully. Following the main course, I indulged in an iced coffee paired with a pistachio-flavored circular croissant. The croissant’s delicate layers were buttery and flaky, with the pistachio adding a subtle, nutty sweetness that elevated the pastry to something truly memorable. While the prices may not cater to the budget-conscious, the quality and presentation justify the occasional splurge, with the bill totaling just over £30. The café itself is impeccably maintained, with cleanliness evidently a priority. Though not an everyday stop, it serves as a delightful retreat for those moments when a touch of indulgence is in order.

This is a great addition to the high street and we were not disappointed. Upon arrival the place was not too busy and we were seated very quickly which is always a bonus. The menu was not over complicated and the choices were varied. We opted for the salt & pepper squid and spring rolls for starters. The squid was fresh and soft and the springs rolls were devoured with ease. For mains we had the chicken pho, beef pho, slow cooked beef stew and beef vietnamese coconut curry. The pho was very filling and the taste was on point. The slow cooked beef was amazing and so soft that I would try this again. The curry was also very tasty. All in all it was good experience and have no issues in coming back again. The staff are also very friendly. Keep up the good work guys!!

Ross and his team came round earlier this year to do some work on rewiring our en suite bathroom and upgrading our alarm system. The standard of the work was excellent, Ross and his employees were diligent and professional, and everything was left neat and tidy. After-sales treatment was similarly brilliant and Ross assured us that if there were any problems, then he would come round immediately to correct them. No concerns there though, since the work was done to such a high standard. Overall, can't recommend RSS Electrical enough and well worth the money.

Ross and the team were helpful, prompt, polite and on time. We had some outdoor lighting replaced/added to. From the quote visit to completion everything was done professionally and with a reasonable price. We are really pleased with the security lighting, and the two electricians who did the work were really polite and hard working. I would thoroughly recommend if you want a quality piece of work done by professional electricians. There may be “cheaper” quotes out there, but with electrics, I wouldn’t take chances personally. Thanks Ross & Team.
