The Best Restaurants in Great Barr, West Midlands, United Kingdom (2025)

Went on fancy date night with the other half. Over all was great end to end experience for fine dining. Bill was little over £400, so there really needs superb all around experience, which fell a bit short. (Bit of noise in the restaurant and had different servers for the night and couldn’t hear some of them as they were describing the dish) 4.5/5 for me, purely due to cost vs. Experience ratio. Would go back under the right circumstances.

We attended at lunchtime, booking for my partner’s 40th. We were greeted warmly, and the service was exemplar from start to finish. The cocktails were delicious, as were the mocktails. The starting snacks were next level, especially the Parmesan crisp with mushroom mousse! The tasting 7 menu really wowed, the quail with smoked cashew, the halibut, and the venison were real standout dishes, but the blackberry dessert was next level - the word for that dessert is “exquisite”! We felt honoured to be the first to try the new dessert too! An extra nod of gratuity for being so careful about my shellfish allergy too, it is so appreciated. Thank you for an incredible afternoon - we have left full up and not stopped revelling in the experience since getting home.

We came to Adams for my birthday with my husband and four year old daughter. We last came here for our 2nd wedding anniversary many years ago. The food and service was just incredible! I am so so pleased that Adams is so family friendly. The staff made a fuss of our daughter and she absolutely loved her experience there. It can be hard to find fine dining places that are so welcoming to children. We will come again!

We really loved it here. The food was excellent. Some of the chefs that came to explain their dishes could have spoken a bit slower and taken a bit more time to explain. They go so fast spmetimes you hardly get to actually understand what they are saying. We had a nice tour in the kitchen. Again, it was a bit rushed. Would have liked more insight. However all in all we had an amazing night. One more comment; I would say its a little bit too expensive for what you get. If i was comparing it with Opheem for example.

Super juicy and tasty Sea bass with rice. It’s deliciously cooked in a sauce. It’s under new management and excellent customer service. 💯 ⭐️

Always happy to come in here and get service from friendly people. I have tried many foods here all are delicious. I Highly recommend to visit this place.

Friday 1pm visit Guy behind the counter first class Chicken lovely and crispy and equal to kfc at half the price

My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat. We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size. My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant. The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋

We came here for an anniversary meal and had the five courses for £55 menu. It was all absolutely delicious. The ‘chips’ served with the roe were so good no other chip will ever be the same again. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed with a great eclectic playlist. The staff was delightful and we loved watching the chefs hard at work in the open plan kitchen. We spent £170 including two drinks each, cheese board and tip. Very reasonable for a fine dining experience that in my opinion was as good as some of the Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to. Well worth it for a special occasion. Thanks HK team!

A lovely place to have a Valentines meal. Such attentive but relaxed service. The food was exceptional tonight and the wine pairings spot on.

Amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible - all the staff were very attention and knowledgeable, Sim in particular was incredibly lovely! We did the 5 for £55 menu which was 100% worth it, each course was absolutely delicious. A few of my friends are vegan and so had the vegan menu and also really enjoyed those courses - although they did comment that they thought some of the courses could have done with a sauce of some kind. But overall an excellent experience, we will definitely be back!

Food is really good I ordered, sheesh kebabs, with egg fried rice with spicy wing I definitely recommend to go here.

Seriously the best Indian restaurant in the area. Amo and his team always deliver 1st class food and 1st class customer service. Always made to feel welcome and pair with fantastic fresh and flavoursome food. Thanks again for another lovely meal guys !

First time ordering here, Curry was very tasty, only thing that let it down was both the naan breads were significantly burnt in parts which meant we had to rip half of it off as wasn't edible.

I was not stopped by some not very pleasant reviews that I read about your restaurant.. and of course I came to try your food myself, and I came out very satisfied. Together with my husband, we ate a very delicious lunch, the steak was cooked the way we asked, the wine we chose was great, and what to say for the dessert at the end just Super satisfied. Our compliments to the chef and thanks to the staff who were very kind and smiling at every moment.. Highly recommended 👍

5 stars 🌟 all around. One of the best restaurant meals I'd had this year. The food is very good quality and worth the price. I can't remember the names of everything we had, but the steak cut like butter and the garlic mushrooms, freshly baked cocoa bread and deep fried anchovies were delicious. The cocktails were also 🔥 we had x3 Buenos Aeries cocktails, which were divine. The toilets were clean and the atmosphere was good. I recommend and will be back. Free parking is onsite. Bonus ✅️

The food was superb 👌🏾, the meat was so succulent it just melts of the bone. Can't recommend enough. Great portion sizes. The service was great everyone was so friendly and attentive! Will definitely be going back.

Third visit for us while here for work. The food is excellent, slightly off piste menu, which is great...we'll be back again next time we visit 😀

My favourite restaurant, hands down! I tend to prefer Bangladeshi cuisines for my curries. The food is incredible, and on a Sunday, they do a buffet, which is lovely. I have a chicken tikka Masala. My mum tends to have the lamb chops. The spices are not overly hot, just right if you're not used to extreme heat. There's parking, but not a lot of spaces. The waiters are present and are at hand if you need them. The atmosphere is cute, I go to this restaurant alone at times, and I'm very comfortable.

My family and I dined for my 65th birthday and it was a lovely experience. Could not fault anything at all. There were 12 of us everything was perfect. Thankyou. But my son and I order takeaway every week and it's always perfect. If you've not tasted their food you are missing out.

This is my regular restaurant whenever I go out for a curry with friends, it's the halfway spot for us all but even if it wasn't I would go out of my way to go here time and again. Food, staff, drinks, atmosphere are all superb! Thanks for hosting us again!

It’s always a pleasure to dine at this restaurant. It’s been my favourite for a number of years now and not just for good food but for excellent ambience and service as well. The live music was great and service was impeccable. Thank you!

I visited here for an engagement party recently and its such a beautiful venue. There was a pianist playing which added to the vibe. There was a wide variety of food served to suit all, and the drinks were also very tasty!

Went here for dinner for the first time, was sceptical as the menu doesn’t have ‘the classics’ and I am a fussy eater. The food was beautiful, cocktails came with a bit of added drama, which we loved and the service was impeccable. Definitely recommend to try, we’ll be going back for some point in the future. 10/10.

Food well presented and quality was very good. Waiter was friendly although a bit too attentive. Atmosphere was average although didn’t appreciate the conversation from the next table,but this was of no fault of five rivers

We had a great waitress called Gretel who was very helpful and welcoming. We loved the ambience and fantastic service. Expensive place but definitely worth it for the quality experience. The kind of place you can take your time and really enjoy the moment. Great for a date!

Amazing decor and atmosphere. Becky our waitress was so kind and helpful. I wish all waiters could be like her. Thank for an amazing evening with my family. We celebrated my sisters 18th and couldn’t have been happier. The food was 10/10 no complaints and the cocktails were delicious. I would definitely recommend this please. I recommend the duck fried rice, full of flavour. Thank you Becky!

Great cocktails and food! Can’t go wrong with Tattu. I love the espresso martini here and my fave food is the duck pancakes. So many options on the menu and I’ve always enjoyed trying new dishes here. The venue is beautiful with pink blossom trees everywhere. Service is good and I would go back again.

Visited Tattu Birmingham for my birthday as a group of 2 and our waiter; Christina was amazing. She helped us navigate what to order and recommended us cocktails which we ended up really enjoying. Also super friendly. After getting the bill I mentioned it was my birthday and received a plate from our waiter saying happy birthday with a fortune cookie. Felt it was really thoughtful and a cute touch. Definitely made my day. Beautiful place. 100% would recommend to family and friends.

Really accommodating friendly staff, even though they were busy. Didn't feel rushed, really pleasant place to have a family birthday get together. Would definitely go again.

Tom was very friendly and helpful! All staff at The Queslett are very friendly and professional every visit. Our food was delicious (lunch). I'd of given 5 stars for atmosphere if a bit warmer, was slightly nippy. Small thing. Had a really pleasant afternoon at The Queslett.

There was a group of 10 of us who had booked a table for a birthday. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Abby made sure we were all served together. We all enjoyed our food and the portions were well cooked and very generous. The Manager (Sally) checked in with us and made sure we all had a great time. Thank you Sally for making our meal enjoyable. We will certainly be back bringing our dog next time. Jan and Joan.

Excellent pub. Good service. Great food.

Amazing food as usual and a good atmosphere inside. The fish tikka and pakora were top notch.

Firstly, the value for money is certainly there. Really good prices for food, fantastic and warm service, and a lovely atmosphere. The food itself was very nice, I wouldn't say the mixed grill is in my top 3 (mainly because of the size of the regular grill) , but for price, you can't argue with it. I think trying the large grill next time would be best for a greedy man like me, as the price of that is absolutely fantastic as well. I'll definitely love to go again to try some more of the menu!

First time here. Food was good. Large pub with lots of seating and is clean and well kept. Service was excellent and the Guinness was very good. Overall a great pub for food & drinks
