This restaurant has a very authentic feel with ample seating as you go upstairs…read more The menu has everything you could desire from duck, lamb, beef, pork, to a chef's special seafood menu, with good options if your vegetarian, like me. They have a decent lunch promotion between 12-5pm, on 3 courses for only £9.90, which isn't bad value. I tried the egg fried rice with fried mixed vegetables, whilst my friend had steamed scallops within a black bean type sauce. I liked the food, and didn't have to wait very long for it. In the afternoon, it wasn't too busy and we managed to get some nice seats by the windows overlooking the canals. They had some nice background music playing, which wasn't too overwhelming in the sense that it drowns out your conversation, but pleasing all the same. A take away option is also available if your having friends round! And they also add on an extra 10% service charge, which we didn't mind paying.... However, if you have a Brindley Place Loyalty card, you do get a 10% discount!!

Spinach green apple and ginger. It was really good. There were three of us and we shared the chicken teriyaki stick, pork noodle dumpling and the corn starters were all very good. For the main, I ordered the beef brisket udon. It was mildly spicy and added a bit of chili oil and it spiced it up a bit more to be just perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. The chefs looked like they were having g fun. Smiling. It showed in the food. Well done. Would return here for another meal.

The finest of Indian cuisine in its most modern form…read more Lasan has been a highly regarded part of the Birmingham restaurant scene for a long time now, after finally getting around to going I can see why. The place itself is nice and light with very simple, chunky decoration and furnishings throughout, it is all comfortable and doesn't distract from the eating experience although it probably is time for them to give the place a refresh, everything is getting a little tired in there. Food wise this place lives up to the hype. The ala carte menu (which unless you are in a big group you'll be eating from, this isn't a taster menu place), although not too long, was completely jam packed with food I wanted to eat making it was genuinely difficult to narrow down to just two dishes! I had a quail starter, complete with outrageously tasty quail scotch egg, which was beautifully cooked, gorgeously spiced, a real delight to eat. Main was venison, a loin and a small curry next to it which was an awesome meld of anglo-indian and again lit up my palette in all the right ways. They have a full bar here and the drinks are quite well priced for a high end fine dining restaurant, a bottle of wine starts at around £25. The staff were good, they answered my questions and gave recommendations and made sure that my glass was always full but didn't get in the way of the food, which is the perfect type of service for me. Prices are also very reasonable considering that this is one of the best places in the city, going ala carte gives the flexibility to suit most budgets, although it is by no means cheap. I absolutely can't wait to go again, I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to eat everything on the menu, I WANT TO EAT EVERYTHING ON THE MENU!

After visiting the two sister restaurants (Raja Monkey and Fiesta Del Asado) I was delighted to be…read moreinvited to a Christmas lunch at Lasan. Although I've lived in the Jewellery Quarter for a good 7 years but hadn't ever visited due to the whispers I had heard regarding the high prices. Well, on receiving an invite to the winter banquet (a three course meal for £19.95), I had my tastebuds primed and ready to give it a go. To give you a bit of background, Lasan has been around since 2002 but due to the steady increase in the number of awards it has received over the years (British curry awards, Gordon Ramsay's 'F Word - Best Local restaurant' and BBC's 'Great British Menu') it has gained a reputation to impress. The venue itself is just off St Paul's Square, so very easy to get to from the City. There is no parking available, but street parking is plentiful around the area. The restaurant itself is classy and intimate. On a Sunday lunchtime at 1:30, you would still struggle to get a table if you hadn't booked. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of Malbec (shared between 4) for £24 whilst our starters were bought out. Between succulent pieces of meat, fish and delicious vegetable sides; we got a chance to try everything. The Salmon was truly amazing. The mains were also impressive with a chicken dish, a mutton curry, a fish curry, aromatic rice and fresh naan. The meal was rounded off with 'Gulab Jamoon Aur Rabri' (Warm Khoya roundels with North Indian cardamom scented custard). I hadn't tried this before, but would love to have it again! The food, the wine, the company and the setting were perfect. £19.95 was a very reasonable price to pay, but I would recommend you give it a go now. The normal banquet price starts at £30.95!

The menu looks really good and want to go again with a few people to try the bigger platters that look amazing. I was really impressed with my salmon maki and how it was presented. The rice had a lot of flavour and wasn't cold and hard like premade sushi at supermarkets. Would really recommend.

The bento boxes are generous, and I am a huge fan of their katsu curry sauce. It seems like portion sizes vary though-- sometimes it seems like you're really getting a bang for your buck, other times it feels like you've paid way too much. They have such a varied menu with options that appeal to everyone (who wants to try Japanese food), methinks. Very good-- definitely not particularly refined cuisine, but it doesn't give off the vibe that it's trying to be. It's 'fun' food. My main qualm is that I find them to be just a *tad* overpriced. I also find the restaurant space and seating to be a bit jarring and uncomfortable. The plastic-bench-picnic table vibe doesn't really match the price or presentation of the food. The restaurant is very small but feels very hectic. I get claustrophobic in there when it's busy. That said, the management is incredibly friendly and helpful (had a really nice chat with the manager), and again, the food hasn't disappointed yet.

Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, Bar & Grill in Birmingham really is something special - it is one of…read moretwo MPW restaurant in Birmingham, interestingly both of which are located inside The Cube, with Bardolino on the 5th floor, and then all the way up to the 25th floor is Marco Pierre White Steakhouse which is only accessed through the elevators inside Hotel Indigo - I don't have a problem with this as that lift is designed to be fast as climbing 70 meters certainly is tricky and you don't want to be stopping on every floor along the way to getting something to eat. Being on the top and 25th floor of The Cube and Hotel Indigo building, the views are stunning - there is a terrace where you can grab something to eat or drink looking across the whole of the city, or if you prefer to sit inside, the full glass panoramic views give you still a brilliant view of the city which makes it such a great place to grab anything from an alcoholic beverage, meal or even an Afternoon Tea which is £19.95 per person, which is actually cheaper than many hotels - good value! Many of the reviews do mention this place is pricey - it might be in certain areas with some dishes costing £70 but you just have to know what to order - I find the set menu to be really well priced at £20 for 2 courses, and the Afternoon Tea is really reasonable too especially considering the views and quality. The staff here seemed really attentive, constantly checking up to make sure everything was okay to the point I couldn't refuse to pay the service charge as the staff certainly did deserve it - although my general feelings towards adding a service charge is well-known. They were generally happy to modify any dish for me to make it gluten-free which I liked, although I would have liked more of a what to expect and what they'd do rather than having to ask about each dish, in particular, I found this to also be similar with Bardolino downstairs. I've dined at numerous MPW restaurants across many chains - some of them I've found to be pretty hit and miss, most of them, however, was pretty good and this is arguably one of the best amongst them including great locations in the likes of Liverpool and Manchester (Sadly this also includes bad locations in the likes of Leeds and Newcastle), the latter also being a part of this Steakhouse brand meaning they serve the same menu. For my starter, I ordered the tomato soup - this was presented with fresh gluten-free bread, for a starter, it was a huge portion and it was a really well seasoned, good-quality soup - I would have preferred other soups from the menu however but still I don't regret ordering this one. For my main, I opted for the 6 oz steak with pomme frites, the chips again were fresh, tasty and well-seasoned and my steak was seasoned really well, I didn't like how I had to pick between the two extremes of either pink or well-done, as I'm more of a medium well person (slightly pink), but this was down to the size of the steak which still had a coating to ensure it wasn't dry and had great flavour - having to pay around £4 for an extra sauce to go with it was a little much though - I ended up opting for ketchup and honestly the steak didn't need a sauce, it was tasty on its' own in the steak juices. For dessert, I shared ice cream with my friend - the menu didn't state the flavours which would be delivered which I feel for the price they normally charge it should - Madagascan Vanilla with fresh pieces (my favourite) - Chocolate with little chocolate pieces inside (my friend's favour) - Salted caramel (I couldn't fully identify this one!) Regarding the main menu, I would have liked more choice for gluten-free as many of the fish dishes appeared to contain gluten for example. This place is certainly a special place to mark a special occasion or even make a special end to a trip to Birmingham, the latter was the reason I decided to come, and although this location might not have as many promotional offers as other MPW restaurants, including the Liverpool location of the same brand which offers 241 via Meerkat Meals or Tastecard, which is also inside a Hotel Indigo, it still is really worth it in most cases - a big improvement would be to explain the menu and what one should expect in full detail to avoid confusion, including how they'd adapt a dish to be gluten-free because I don't want to talk through every dish with my server etc. A great quality restauraunt by an awesome celebrity chef who even trained Gordon Ramsay and one of his better locations too - which is actually quite hard to achieve on its' own! Stunning views and some really reasonable prices in regards to Afternoon Tea + set menu, really do warrant a strong four-star rating in my books and I will certainly be returning next time I'm in the West Midlands City!
