Featured Bromsgrove Restaurants
1. Sabai Sabai
Thai restaurant in Birmingham
268 High Street - B17
Husband and wife team, Torquil and Juree Chidwick, first opened Sabai Sabai as a small, cosy, family-run Thai restaurant in Moseley 10 years ago. Proving a real hit with the locals they opened the Harborne restaurant, oozing a subtle eastern sophistication with carved wooden b...
2. Black & Green
British, Modern restaurant in Barnt Green
49 Hewell Road - B45
“A very small restaurant in the small, attractive, well-heeled north Worcestershire village of Barnt Green with tables and a counter at which some diners are sat in very close proximity of the culinary action”. With just 18 seats, it’s owned by chef Andrew Sheridan, and although he recently left Brum for his native Liverpool, he continues to show an interest locally with the August 2023 acquisition of nearby coffee and brunch venue, The Garrity. At Black & Green, his team “delivers a well-balanced six-course tasting menu, often with original ingredients. Many of the dishes are brought to table by the chefs themselves”.
3. Itaewon Korean Restaurant
Korean restaurant in Birmingham
43 - 45 Station Street - B5
Welcome to Itaewon Korean restaurant in Birmingham city centre, a celebration of all things Korean. Our menu features traditional Korean dishes and Korean BBQ, paired perfectly with hand-made cocktails. Inspired by the vibrant Itaewon district in Seoul, we invite you to experienc...

5. Raja Monkey
Indian restaurant in Hall Green
1355 Stratford Road - B28
This modern Indian street food restaurant (run by the Lasan Group) inspires only a limited amount of feedback, but such as we have suggests it’s a very good bet in this leafy burb. It must be doing something right, as in 2023 they announced the opening of a spin-off in Harborne.
6. Sabai Sabai
Thai restaurant in Birmingham
25 Woodbridge Road - B13
Torquil and Juree Chidwick’s Moseley Village fixture is celebrating its twentieth year (est. 2003) and continues to inspire solid feedback for its ‘true taste of Thailand’. Over the last twelve months, they expanded further with a new Solihull outpost, complete with outside seating.
7. Brockencote Hall
French restaurant in Chaddesley Corbett
2023 Review: This grand Victorian manor house hotel on a 70-acre estate offers both tasting menus and a conventional 3-course format in its elegant Chaddesley Restaurant – “have eaten there several times in the past few months and the food never disappoints”.
8. The Venture In
Fish & seafood restaurant in Ombersley
Main Road - WR9
2022 Review: This solid all-rounder in a lovely timber-framed Grade-II listed sixteenth-century house serves some “wonderful” meals – with standout “market-fresh fish”, a legacy of chef-patron Toby Fletcher’s stint working in Australia.
9. Harborne Kitchen
British, Modern restaurant in Birmingham
175-179 High St - B17
This “absolute jewel of a place” in Harborne, two miles from Birmingham city centre, is hailed by fans for its “outstanding food and divine tasting menus”, while “the unusual wine pairings work really well” – “how it doesn’t have a Michelin star is beyond us all!”. Midlands-born chef-patron Jamie Desogus (formerly of Gordon Ramsay’s Pétrus) opened the venue in 2016, and has not faltered since. Top Tip – the reduced five-course weeknight menu offers “exceptionally good value”.
10. Plough
British, Modern restaurant in Birmingham
21 High Street - B17
2021 Review: Yummy brunches, fine coffee and stone-baked pizza are the top attractions at this funkily decorated pub, on the high street (which has a good garden for the summer months).
11. Damascena
Greek restaurant in Birmingham
133 Alcester Road - B13
2022 Review: One of a quartet of Syrian cafés, serving up “authentic” Middle Eastern titbits and more – including ‘fuul’ fava beans, pastries and flatbreads – from breakfast until late. This is the first branch, opened in Moseley.
12. Chakana
Peruvian restaurant in Birmingham
140 Alcester Road - B13
Chef Robert Ortiz has introduced his “delicious and extraordinarily colourful Peruvian cuisine” to the West Midlands at the converted bank in Moseley he opened five years ago – a “relaxing place for a meal, with a spacious dining area and good service”. Only authentic ingredients are used, and the bar stocks an impressive range of pisco, the national spirit.
13. Simpsons
British, Modern restaurant in Edgbaston
20 Highfield Road - B15
Some would say “the doyen of Birmingham fine-dining restaurants” – fans feel that “owner Andreas Antona and chef Luke Tipping still deliver the best fine-dining experience in Birmingham, even after so many years” at this gracious-looking Edwardian villa “in leafy Edgbaston”. And even those who feel it’s “not the market leader it once was” say it’s “very good all-round”: “service is very good and delivers the high-quality dishes the Birmingham diner expects in a setting that’s excellent and very relaxing”.
14. Jyoti's Vegetarian
Indian restaurant in Birmingham
1045 Stratford Road - B28
2022 Review: With its “good home-style Indian vegetarian cuisine”, the Joshi family’s canteen and sweet centre has developed into a Hall Green institution over almost five decades. Specialising in Gujarati and south Indian cooking, it lists no fewer than 72 main dishes… none of them is priced at over £5.95.
15. Rosa's Thai Cafe
Thai restaurant in Birmingham
2b Chamberlain Square - B3
2021 Review: The “lovely Thai food” at these reliable cafés is “impressively authentic given that they are a chain” – “excellent value” and “fast”, if occasionally let down by “iffy service”. Founded in 2008 by Saiphin and Alex Moore, who inherited the name of their first East End site, the group has 18 branches in London and expanded to Liverpool, Manchester, Reading (delivery only) and Leeds following the sale of a majority stake to US investors. The couple also have two spin-offs, Lao Café in Covent Garden and the new Chinese noodle bar Hoh Sek in St Katharine Docks.
16. Dishoom
Indian restaurant in Birmingham
1 Chamberlain Square - B3
“Excellent Indian food that’s amongst the very best in an area where such restaurants are plentiful” – this outpost of London’s smash-hit chain wins strong ratings, despite the local tradition of brilliant subcontinental cuisine, for its innovative – often “exceptional” – dishes and winning retro style (influenced by the Parsi cafés of 1940s Mumbai). It’s in a big, 330-cover site, overlooking Birmingham Town Hall from the city’s Paradise development.
17. @pizza
Pizza restaurant in Birmingham
Unit 33 Grand Central - B2
2023 Review: Rectangular pizza cooked in 90 seconds is the draw at this top local pizza pit-stop, which is consistently well-rated: choose a base sauce and cheese and then zhoosh it up with various toppings.
18. Opheem
Indian restaurant in Birmingham
65 Summer Row - B3
“Just wow!” – Aktar Islam’s city-centre HQ reliably “lives up to expectations… and more!”; and remains Brum’s most commented on and highest-rated destination in our annual diners’ poll. “His unique twist on his family’s ancestral dishes with superb matching wine flight provided by sommelier Stefan” (Liperowski) “magnificently takes Indian food to the highest possible level” – “flavours are off the scale” – and “the range and variety of each distinctly different meal is glorious”.
19. Adam's
British, Modern restaurant in Birmingham
16 Waterloo St - B2
“Smart, chic, highly professional” – Adam & Natasha Stokes’s “commendably consistent” operation is “outstanding in every respect” and “one of the leading lights in Brum’s high-quality restaurant scene”: in fact the No. 1 in the city in our annual diners’ poll this year where European cuisine is concerned. “Not cheap but worth every penny”, its central location and “unfailingly impressive combination of brilliant cooking and presentation with excellent service” makes it “just the setting for a business meal” (the top option is to be “royally looked after at the chef’s table”). Top Tip – “the set menu at lunch is brilliant value”.
20. Asha’s Indian Bar and Restaurant
Indian restaurant in Birmingham
12-22 Newhall Street - B3
A rooftop fire in July 2023 briefly shuttered this hugely popular hangout of stars, and offering northwest Indian food that’s packed with taste; it’s now back in business and while “not cheap”, you can expect “a stand-out meal every time with a proper cocktail bar and Bollywood ambience” befitting its owner – nonagenarian singer Asha Bhosle, who was namechecked in Cornershop’s hit ‘Brimful of Asha’.
