Yes it's a little unusual to have a space like this in serviced offices but once you're in the Bespoke Health room, you're in Lorraine's capable hands. The room is small but adequately equipped and Lorraine makes you feel right at home, treating you like an old friend that she is so pleased to see. The prices are extremely competitive, especially for the city centre. I've had the wax so far but will go back for more. Call her up and see what she what she can do for you! Enter through the Regus building door and let reception know you're there.

I'll be honest and say that at first I was a little sceptical about having a massage in a room in a…read moreRegis building, knowing that just down the corridor there would be people wondering around in suits and talking business. I don't have a lot of massages (though wish I did!) and when I do, well, I tend to go to Spa's so that a massage is part of a relaxing day of pampering. However, my scepticism soon wore off. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, and able to wait in the business lounge where I made good use of my time and realised how perfect this set up is for busy professionals. Lorraine has turned her room into a little haven of tranquillity, full of warm, bright and welcoming colours, candles and cushions. As soon as you walk in, you start to feel the relaxation vibe working its magic. If I worked in that building, I'd be there every day! What a way to de-stress. My Monday treat was a back massage, and the only suitable word to describe it really is "WOW". I've not had one for, well, so long that I can't actually remember when it was, and so I really needed it. Now, over the years, I've had massages so painful that I've spent my entire time in a tense state, begging for it to end and suppressing screams whilst chanting "wimp" in my head. I've also had massages that feel like someone is ticking you with a feather, and a rather limp one, at that, the sort that feels like a total waste of money. Personally, I prefer the middle ground, where I can feel it doing something without submitting me to immense pain. Thankfully, this was exactly what I got; a great, firm and highly professional massage, working on my tense areas and using an oil that was still tingling and working into my muscles deliciously an hour later. Situated just off Victoria Square, opposite the Town Hall, Bespoke Health Studio is in a prime location for city workers to nip out and enjoy a de-stressing pamper during their busy working days. If you come into that category, then I cannot recommend Lorraine and Bespoke Health Studio enough! Get on the phone, and book yourself in before this rising star is booked months ahead!

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!

Whilst it's been awhile since I've been here, and if I'm honest every time I've been there it's…read morebeen exceptionally quiet. Like we are the only ones in there quiet. 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.
