Visited on recommendation and it was well worth the 25mile journey! The food was all absolutely delicious with superb flavours and generous servings, the Somali tea was divine and I had my first taste of dream cake! Food is freshly prepared on the premises from family recipes, cakes and desserts choices change regularly. Family run - very friendly and welcoming, clean and comfortable.

Absolutley amazing, had a private event and was catered for. The food we got was to die for... Real somali flavours!!!. The design and decor of this somali cafe is top notch probably best in Birmingham.

Come down for a Somali breakfast and to work away from home for a bit. Food was 10/10, the liver was tender and full of flavour. Great Somali tea and excellent customer service. Overall, a very clean, comfortable and affordable cafe. Will be retuning

“First time visiting this cafe, despite walking past it a million times since it opened! And what a delight it is. A great selection of drinks and cakes on offer, and the service was wonderful. I ordered the milk cake which was suggested by the lady serving, as it is refrigerated and not on display. It was delicious, along with the hot chocolate. There’s attention to detail in the presentation of food and I will be back to taste the other dishes for sure.”

“There is something special about this British Caribbean fusion brunch spot. Take a look at the menu, especially the island brunch. The care that’s put into the food and drink preparation has to be commended. No 393 server me the best soy flat white I’ve ever had. Taking a look at the food pic’s expect the same treatment. The cafe feels swanky, there is a cocktail lounge vibe to the interior. The reggae music will chill your soul and allow you to appreciate life island style.”

“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.”

“We were looking for somewhere to have breakfast and this place had really good reviews. I can honestly say that this is the best veggie breakfast and the Mrs said the best meat breakfast we have had in a very long time. It was cooked to perfection and the herbed beans were absolutely stunning. We had polish honey mustard that really added to the experience. The owner is the perfect host and was so attentive and funny. Next time we are in Birmingham this is definitely being visited again.”

“Not much to look at from the outside but the friendly welcome and amazing food definitely make up for that! Very generous portions of very decent food! We'd only popped in for a light lunch and could have shared one dish to be honest. In addition to the food we also had brown sugar bubble milk tea which also hit the spot - actually not too sweet! We also received complementary green tea which was very refreshing. Will definitely return again!”

“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.”

“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 🥘 🙏”

“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!”
