The food is wonderful, the welcome warm and the bill reasonable - we had a lovely time at Byzantium. The only minor hitch was that I ordered peppermint tea and got normal tea, but it was so good I didn't mind and drank it anyway! I think it was just hard for the waiter to hear what I was saying. Overall though I would recommend this place to anyone for a great evening of food and drink.

A lovely Mediterranean Restaurant just off Kings Heath high street serving fresh Tapas, we had a delicious mix of Tapas that was very tasty. Would most definitely recommend Byzantium and will certainly go back.

Such a lovely place, great food, really friendly staff. Would definitely recommend. This was my second visit, it is about 30 mins from where I live but so worth the drive. We'll be back for sure.

Used to be a regular visitor and has always been my favourite tapas restaurant in Birmingham. This time the food was great as always, but it was the first time we have felt rushed to order, which was a bit off. Particularly as tapas is quite an involved ordering process.

As ever, there was a great variety on the menu. As there was six of us we ordered a wide range of dishes and enjoyed them all. Service was friendly and efficient and prices very reasonable. I would always recommend Byzantium to anyone.

Fabulous Food!!! And Excellent service- the only thing that detracted a little from our meal was the door was propped open to let air in due to warm weather and because the restaurant is quite small even though we were towards the back, there was the constant smell of smoking from outside. Despite this I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be returning!

Fantastic food as usual but they were soooo busy! The service was impacted sadly - I’d still go back though as they know how to cook!

Wonderful staff, wonderful food at good prices. Booked online, but left it a bit late. Was fully booked upon arrival but they managed to let us sit in the back room. Which was great anyway as we had more room.

Excellent food - have been many times and food is always superb. The restaurant was really busy when we arrived however service was still good - waited 10 minutes for drinks and starters in about 15 minutes. Will definitely return - menu is also varied with several new dishes which we tried which were excellent

Lovely food and nice wine plus a relaxed atmosphere meant we enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Larger water glasses would have been better but otherwise all enjoyable.

Fantastic food, really very good quality. Great service. We (though I was the one who ate it as the only non-vegetarian) were given some pork belly to try at no cost which was really delicious, tender with great crackling. The flat breads aubergine and patatas alioli were really good, I couldnt fault the food at all. Our waiter was attentive without bieng intrusive, we couldnt have been better looked after. Really recommended for a relaxed and very good quality lunch. Also very good value for money.

Delicious tapas in a really good atmosphere- we sat in the downstairs, main restaurant section so not sure what out back/ upstairs is like. Good service and price is fair for tapas places, which always work out a bit more expensive than so called regular restaurants.

We have been to the restaurant few times. The food & service has been excellent, but this time the food was cold & not to our taste. The taste was different as we think the menu has been changed and under new management. We did mention about the food before we left, but not sure if the message was passsed on or not.

Lovely food, great service. We felt bad as they didn’t have the facility to add a tip to the bill on the card machine, and the snow was too heavy to get to the cash machine

We have visited Byzantium before but were a little disappointed last time. However, our experience on this occasion was very good. Very prompt service. Excellent food, portions seemed slightly larger than before & the food was hot. Great to see Moroccan orange cake on the menu again, absolutely delicious.

Service very chaotic had to catch waiters attention repeatedly in order to be served. Extremely cold due to fact that door opened directly from street into restaurant - fine on a warm night but not when outside temp is -1. Overcharged on bill so do take care when paying. Food very good & value for money OK.

Catherine G.6 years ago · 1 review

The restaurant was crowded and very cold as the door opens straight into the dining area and there is no barrier or screen. We were seated promptly but the tables are very close together and small which for a tapas restaurant with multiple plates of food seemed a little strange. The service was slow and chaotic. We had to ask for everything many times. We had to ask to have our drinks order taken as well as taking our food order. We asked for the bill at the end and waited at least 20 minutes. We finally gave up and paid at the counter. The food was ok - I have had better tapas but the service was appalling. Other people gave up and walked out as they could not get their order taken. Would not return or recommend.

We have frequented Byzantium over the years and sometimes it was great and sometimes it was decidedly average. Happily, when My partner and I went to Byzantium on St Valentine’s Day we were both pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by very friendly staff upon arrival and were treated to a complimentary glass of prosecco. The food was excellent; I would highly recommend the pork belly and the bastilla. The flat bread and olives were wonderful. We will definitely be back.

The food has always been good here but the new menu is sublime. It is consistently superb . I took my wife here for valentine's Day and we were both making those embarrassing noises that you make when amazing flavours hit your taste buds. I can't recommend Byzantium highly enough.
