The Cantonese Kitchen is the kind of place I make an effort to drive to for a special treat…read more Perhaps a little bit more expensive than a standard Chinese takeaway but this family run place is well worth the visit now and again. All of the food is excellent and I can highly recommend the hot and sour soup (guaranteed to shift a cold), the wun tun soup, aromatic duck (the quintessential Cantonese dish but just as good here as a restaurant in town) and classics sweet and sour Cantonese style or king prawn kung po. Soups are around £2, duck is £7 and mains are around £5. They have some very reasonable set menus. The waiting are is lovely, much nicer than most takeaway places. However if you don't fancy the wait you can always call ahead or they deliver within 3 miles for £1. They also take credit cards. Closed Mondays except bank holidays when they are open 5:00pm - 10:30pm

I think I am going to say it…read more.. This is my favourite Indian restaurant in Birmingham City Centre! Manzil's is situated about a minutes walk from the Bull Ring and people in the know who know about curry know what I am talking about with this place. When you walk in, you are met with a homely and friendly atmosphere which makes it a delight to eat in. It's an old school curry house which I love. I really like the wallpaper! I have got to know the waiters as I have visited so many times, who are really chatty and are always happy to see you. If you see Hakeem, he loves his Football! The music they play is so random and unexpected. The last visit I made, they were playing Britpop hits of the 1990's haha On this visit, I was with 4 friends from down south who were visiting me for the day, who are tough critics I may add! I had the Chicken Pakora which was a great starter and just the right size to begin the meal. For the main course I had a lovely Dhansak which was really filling with Pilau rice. Manzil's speciality is their sizzling dishes which provides a good alternative if you are not in the mood for a hearty curry. The biggest surprise came when the bill arrived and we split it. One of my friends said "That price wouldn't even get you a starter which isn't half as good as that in London." Says it all really!

I'd put it down to them doing more sales via delivery. But judging by the reviews of this place it's not a well kept secret. I was brought her as a 'proper curry virgin' by experiences prior had been out of a jar and pub curries. According to a friend this was unacceptable, so off we went. I can't remember what I ordered. I know it was vegetarian and not spicy - I can't do spicy as much as I try. You get a lot for your money, going for an Indian can be an expensive affair but this was reasonable by the amount of food received. The service as well is excellent, always smiling and helpful. I really must go again, I whole heartedly suggest the rest of you do too.

Forget Dominos, forget Pizza Hut, the best pizza in Birmingham beyond any shadow of a doubt can be…read morefound in an unassuming takeaway on the Bristol Road. Prices for a 9' pizza range from £3 to £3.50 (with an added £1 for a stuffed crust), and every topping you could ever wish for is readily available, as well as a myriad of reasonably-priced delicious side dishes (try the mozzarella dippers). A word of caution - although their menu claims 'free' delivery, these prices are ramped up considerable - pick your food up and use your savings to buy another pizza or three - you will thank me later. Although the Bristol Road, being at the heart of the student area of Selly Oak, has more takeaways you can shake a stick at, I feel I have some authority as a takeaway connoisseur to tell you if you have to choose one, make it Pizza Land.

Students are a hungry bunch and in the Selly Oak area they are spoilt for choice in terms of…read moreeateries. One of the best food outlets in Selly Oak is Pizza Land, offering great pizzas at low prices and doing so with a high level of customer service. Toppings make a pizza and this place has an innumerable amount which means you can tailor your pizza to make it exactly how you like it. Places such as Dominos offer pizzas at extortionate prices and can often take an absolute age to be made and then delivered, there is no danger of that at Pizza Land and as such I believe it is a much better establishment than many main stream pizza chains. After a night at the pub then a pizza is a great late night treat to indulge in and this place is definitely the best parlour to pay a visit to.

Luckily, this shop is placed on the Walsall Road, in Great Barr and I have been taking advantage of its very good menu of Indian and noodle dishes. As a big fan of noodles, I am always pleased with the variety of Continental Chef's menu. The idea of "create" your own noodle is also something to highlight. The menu in this place is vast and even for a takeaway so popular, Continental Chef offers a very quality service which being fast doesn't mean lack of enthusiasm or care about what they are serving. There is a selection of Tandoori menu that is really spot on and they also delivery within 5 miles radius. Continental Chef is open 7 days of week from 12 pm to Midnight!

Individual starters are around £4-6 each, a mixed starter is £13 per head, crispy duck starts at around £10 and then mains are generally around £9. If you like someone else to pick which dishes go with which then gourmet dinners or banquets cost around £20 per head upwards for a minimum of 2 people. If you are seeking the best value then a buffet is available some of the time. The food is obviously not as good because it has been standing around, but it is very acceptable and great value at around £15 on Friday and Saturday evenings and less for the buffet Sunday lunch and dinner. The wine list isn't cheap, ranging from around £10-24, but the wines I have tried have all been good. All together great food, good service, great value and highly recommended.
