Harborne Kitchen

Went for the Birmingham festival menu. Great food and service, staff very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Wine flight was very well matched and well priced Would recomend.

I booked in for a solo tasting menu hoping it would be a relaxing evening with some delicious food and this place blew my expectations out of the water. It couldn't have been a better experience. The combination of care and low-key service is sensational. It should be studied. Special thanks to Patrick and Crystal (and everyone else tbh but my memory for names is awful). The duck was insanely good. The desserts were works of art. The wine pairings couldn't have worked better. If you want an absolutely perfect dining experience with a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere then immediately book a table. I really enjoyed being at the chef's counter. It's probably a matter of preference but everywhere else looked great too. I honestly left the restaurant feeling on cloud 9. I've eaten at Wilderness etc before and they are great but this is better. In my humble opinion.

We visited here for their monthly Sunday dinner. I have to say it was a fantastic experience. There wasn’t a single thing they served me that I didn’t like. The snack, starter, main and dessert were all superb. The roast chicken breast was so tasty. And the staff were fantastic. Every single staff member said hello/goodbye with a smile, our waiters asked us how every course was, topped up our water regularly. They were attentive, friendly but not over bearing. Bill was £126 for two of us (I had two beers, partner had a lemonade) so excellent value for 4 courses. Will definitely be returning

We came here for an anniversary meal and had the five courses for £55 menu. It was all absolutely delicious. The ‘chips’ served with the roe were so good no other chip will ever be the same again. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed with a great eclectic playlist. The staff was delightful and we loved watching the chefs hard at work in the open plan kitchen. We spent £170 including two drinks each, cheese board and tip. Very reasonable for a fine dining experience that in my opinion was as good as some of the Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to. Well worth it for a special occasion. Thanks HK team!

Very nice restaurant serving upscale British cuisine. We went there during the week so it was rather quiet, which we actually prefer. The restaurant has a nice bar in the front of the house, where you can enjoy a range of interesting and imaginative cocktails, but they serve classics too. The restaurant part is at the back and you pass an open plan kitchen with bar seats as well, where you can see all the master preparation, it's really interesting! There are normal tables as well obviously, further back. We had a tasting menu with wine pairing. I really enjoyed the finger food that comes before the main menu, but all dishes were great. Some interesting matches, but also some surprisingly simple dishes like a pasta with butter, truffle and cheese, were absolutely delicious, and nicely paired with the wine. You can taste the quality of ingredients, and masterful preparation just completes the dish. The service is impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable. The sommelier was particularly good, clearly knowing his trade, but also very approachable and nice to talk to. The whole menu comes to about 8 or 9 dishes, so it's a lot, and we struggled a bit to finish it all! The experience was very good and I can definitely recommend it.

Amazing staff and amazing food. Went to celebrate my graduation and they made it so special, I can’t thank them enough :)

My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat. We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size. My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant. The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋

Amazing! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was incredible - all the staff were very attention and knowledgeable, Sim in particular was incredibly lovely! We did the 5 for £55 menu which was 100% worth it, each course was absolutely delicious. A few of my friends are vegan and so had the vegan menu and also really enjoyed those courses - although they did comment that they thought some of the courses could have done with a sauce of some kind. But overall an excellent experience, we will definitely be back!

Food was very varied and experimental. 11 courses was a bit too much for us but we still loved everyone. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The chef came and explained some of the dishes. Staff were generally nice. The place looks and feels very understated. Probably too understand for the price. That's our only down side.

The food and drinks were amazing, we had the taster menu. The only thing that nearly spoiled it was the guidance to come slightly early and then being told to come back. The owner caught us on the way out and allowed us to stay but it was a sad start to an expensive lunch.

HK couldn't get any better. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are all fantastic. This is a Michelin quality restaurant that is more affordable and less pretentious than actual Michelin starred places. Choose HK for your special occasions and you won't be disappointed, especially if you choose the tasting menu and get to sit up at the open kitchen and chat to the chefs as they make your courses.
