Byzantium Tapas

Excellent food and atmosphere. BUT we arrived at 7.45 on a Tuesday evening and had to wait till 8.30 for our food, although the drinks arrived a little (but not a lot) earlier. There was only one waiter and he was very busy. He was very apologetic when he came over to us. He certainly wasnt slacking but could have done with a colleague to help him. I don't know if its always like this as this was our first visit and despite the wait, we would go back again as the food was excellent and very good value.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was friendly and helpful. We were a party of three and stayed chatting for ages, past closing time but were not hurried at all. Would definitely recommend Byzantium.

As ever Byzantium has tasty food, attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere - a wonderful place for dinner. Would recommend for both dinner two or larger groups.

A very pleasant independently run restaurant in Kings Heath. We went on Friday, and our group of six was well catered for. All enjoyed the food, wine and ambience. Even though the restaurant was full by the time we received our food, the service was good.

Food was excellent. We have really enjoyed our visit. The only downside was that there is no parking and off-road parking on Saturday evening in this area was difficult.

Such brilliant food! Great atmosphere too. I highly recommend this, especially for social gatherings, through there are several quiet books and crannies for quieter diners.

Lovely food which was very tasty, awesome tapas and helpful and friendly staff. And very competitively priced. The £25 meal deal is amazing value. I will be returning!!

Good food and good service - the hummus was a bit heavy on the garlic but otherwise overall it is was a very enjoyable evening

Lovely restaurant, excellent food and atmosphere. In the centre of Kings Heath, parking can be difficult, but lots of places for an early drink before going to Byzantium.

A pleasant atmosphere and very friendly service. We were given good advice about the number of dishes to order rather than encouraged to buy too many. The food was good, particularly the flatbread which I could have eaten all night!

Excellent food and lovely staff- service can be a little slow when busy but that's to be excpected, especially given the fact that all food is prepared fresh.

Great food and atmosphere. Byzantium never disappoints! Staff could have been more attentive at the start of our meal, took about 10 minutes before we were offered a drink but minor details as had a good evening.

A little gem of a place. Great choices of dishes especially the king prawns and chorizo plates. No hesitation about booking again very soon.Staff a credit to their craft.Sue/Kev

Nice wine, quick and friendly service. The food is very nice, we had three starters, 6 mains and a pudding to share between two which was enough for us. With the wine I think it came to around £60 The restaurant was quite busy but had a nice atmosphere. We will visit again soon.

Great staff at this restaurant tucked away on York Road. Pub over the road is good for a drink. The menu is short but covers everything you would want fish, meat, veggie. All the dishes are good value, well presented and tasty.

We have visited Byzantium several times over the years and sometimes it's wonderful and other times it's not as good. This time it was excellent and I feel that this is because it wasn't as busy. The food was delicious except for the chicken livers in a sherry sauce which used to be our favourite dish. We feel that they must have changed the recipe as the sauce is no longer as rich as it used to be and the livers themselves were over cooked. On the up side, the broad beans and artichoke were very good, as was everything we had. The wait staff were fairly good, although inexperienced. We will visit again.

Had a great evening with friends at Byzantium Tapas. Food was delicious and the ambience was lovely. Fab time all round and would definitely recommend for a great, relaxed evening.

Food was okay but didn't have several of the dishes on the menu (how can you run out of basic ingredients by 8:00pm on a Saturday?). Service was slow and it was nearly impossible to catch the waiter's eye to order a drink. Four out of six is on the generous side.

Our party chose 15 dishes from the great selection of dishes, all of which were delicious! The atmosphere was really warm and cosy. Can't wait for another excuse to visit Byzantium!

Excellent food, very reasonably priced. Only downside was that we had to wait 45 minutes after arriving to give our order. That said the food then arrived quickly and it was Saturday evening.

We struggled to find the restaurant initially but managed to park in the street. Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere, very good service. We would certainly go back.

Lovely food and atmosphere. The only negative was that we bought a birthday cake and asked staff to bring it out numerous times but they kept on forgetting! Once they'd served us I think the staff forgot about us completely which was a bit disappointing. The meal was delicious though.

Excellent food served quickly to the table. Good value, spent under £50 for five dishes and a bottle of wine. The only gripe would be that for two people the tables are a little small for all the dishes. Very enjoyable experience would recommend.

Great restaurant with excellent service to match and of course lovely tapas dishes cooked superbly. Second visit and will definitely book again and also recommend to others.

fantastic tapas in a small but cute restaurant. service was slow even when people were leaving we still had to ask for more drinks and ask for the bill. it wouldn't out me off going back though as the food was lovely

Enjoyable evening, food was nice, although some of it was not that warm and you could tell was preheated, however still tasty. Still happy to recommend this place

The decor is ok and ambience good at front of restaurant. Service very good. Food choice also varied. Portions I think a little small for price.

Great food, with plenty of choice and a frequently chafed specials board. The staff are ery helpful and friendly and will give opinions about wined

This is a lovely small restaurant on a side street from the main road, but the whole area has a great independent, slightly bohemian vibe. We were the first diners in at 6.45 which worried me. But it was only because of the time - it soon started filling up. The staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was pretty good. It was Spanish meets Greek meets Moroccan, and a sensible sized menu for food, and a much larger one for drinks. The flat bread to start was one of our favourite dishes, as it was made to perfection. The mains were all good. If being critical the courgette fritters were too big because that made them a lot soggier in the middle, and the croquettas were made with potato which I think is wrong. But we both absolutely loved the pork belly - well cooked, fat perfectly rendered and sat in a delicious balsamic sauce. We left feeling full, having enjoyed the atmosphere, savoured a nice independent experience and being well looked after.

We had the vegetarian options. Excellent variety, and all delicious. The house wine was also a really good choice. Very good vague too. We will be back.

Amazing food and superb service. I would reccomend this to anyone who loves Spanish Tapas. Excellent evening and I would go back anytime as the staff were very friendly.

Lovely little restaurant! Fantastic food and great service. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning and would recommend this place to all our friends 😊👍

Food here is beautiful, atmosphere is great. It can get a little busy and the tables are a bit close together but they are a small restaurant and this often just adds to the atmosphere! Definitely recommend.

An excellent range of freshly cooked tapas in the intimate surrounds of this cosy small scale restaurant. The friendly staff are very helpful and welcoming.

Great Food and ambience..Excellent Service . As always great place to eat .I would recommend eating at this restauraunt if you are in Kings Heath .

Great food. Lovely menu. Good atmosphere. Parking a nightmare and staff friendly but slow. Haloumi skewers delish! Good for a week night spot. I'd recommend it.

Great dinner as always. A firm favourite for tapas. The food and wine is always good quality and at a reasonable price. Try to sit downstairs if you can.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Despite it being busy and short staffed, the service was good. Reasonably priced for tapas as well. A great place to go in Kings Heath!

Service is always excellent and food very tasty. Menu is varied and includes lighter meals such as Ligurian fish soup. The flatbread is delicious. There are cushions provided for the hard chairs.

Fab place, lovely food. Don't go there hungry though. The portions are not on the large side. Service and place is fab, Not sure if would return again, due to the portion sizes.
