Al-uruba Cafe Birmingham

This restaurant is one of many on the coventry road. a decent 4/5 attempt to bring the Lebanese to the uk. the decor is warming and soothing the atmosphere. the staff are attentive and friendly and sometimes offer minze tee on the house while they wait. The proportions are a decent size, not too large and not small. eating came hot with a series of seasonings. private stands for families/carpents are available, but must be fast as they prove to be popular. a great place to socialize with family and friends. there is a tw and free wlan. this can also be done. After I have been some paints here, I was disappointed over the years how not everything is available on the menu. the menu is also very limited for families with small children.

Yesterday we were here when we wanted a quick light lunch and it was convenient to our location. never again! we ordered a few simple olive starters, small fries and a chicken warmer. it took about 5 minuites to arrive, which was exceptionally fast. for sacredness, but I didn't think much of it until we actually started to put the food in our mouth. I never had olives that were so bitter and tasteless! even my son refused to eat them, which normally cannot keep away from olives of any kind. friends were ok. nothing special, but then again not expected to be. As for the shima it was gummy, tasted only from cardamoms and not much more. absolutely terrible! After he drew this to the manager and asked if the shima was freshly cooked, he sent us the cook to explain that it was! we were then accused for everything except one of the olive-creepers and we had eaten about 10% of what was on our tellers. absolutely disgusts with the height of customer service and satisfaction value given at this location. will not go back in.

We ordered mixed starter and grill plate with 6 spits. it was good. I wasn't blown away. worth a visit.

Although there are many restaurants in birmingham, the choice for halal cuisine is unfortunately limited. we researched this restaurant and went to the evening dinner last night. she was laughing and I had barely, but were dry and bland, but well cooked. clean environment and friendly staff. visit again until we find a popular halal restaurant in birmingham.

As much as we enjoyed the food here, I didn't think it was value for money. I've been here both with family and friends, a number of times. The food is good (not great) and the presentation is really pretty. The staff are quite average...and on 2 or 3 occasions I've had difficulty trying to get the waiter to write fries' because he kept on hearing me say rice'. Eventually I found myself saying chips' which did the job. I don't blame him. A generous 3/5 from me. Could've been 2/5 but the food being well presented was a bonus.
