Super impressed with Verdo Lounge when we visited last weekend. Excellent service & amazing food! One of the best gluten free menus I have seen & staff were so attentive and helpful. Loved it, can't wait to visit again soon!
Had a lovely experience here for my birthday. Food was amazing and great portion sizes. Staff super friendly and attentive. Speedy service. Great gluten free and nut free options. Will definitely visit again!
I have celiac, and I cannot overstate how incredible the staff here was. I told them I have celiac, they have a gluten free menu and everything on it is celiac safe. They brought out my coke and my dad’s beer seperately to make sure there was no cross contamination, which was just incredibly kind. The food was spectacular, one of the best meals I’ve had since I ate out. The directions on maps are kinda weird though, it’s on the second floor of the mall, not the first. Kinda tripped us up there. Solid price too, cannot recommend this place enough

Had such a good time!! Staff were lovely, really friendly and welcoming, food was delicious, wide selection and very inclusive with a vegan and gluten free menu. The cocktail menu had lots of options and the drinks were equally as delicious as the food.
It's a really nice size venue and the toilets are accessible and well maintained.
We see served by Dylan who was amazing. The gluten free lady in our group was very well catered for and looked after. We’ve had a wonderful time for siennas 18th brunch! Thank you so much Dylan!

Great service .Food was divine, right proportions. Flavour of food was really good and very tasty .Limited vegan and gluten food .Definitely worth going. See you soon .
A Truly Wonderful Dining Experience
From the moment we walked in, on the Friday evening before our Peter Kay gig, everything about our visit to Cosy Club Brindleyplace was spot on. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the restaurant itself was spotless, spacious, and full of charm.
The service was absolutely fantastic — friendly, attentive, and nothing felt like too much trouble. The food? Genuinely outstanding. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented, far beyond what we expected.
What really stood out, though, was how well they catered for my partner, who’s a refractory coeliac. The staff took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. That kind of care and attention means the world.
Booking was quick and easy, and we left feeling genuinely looked after. We’ll definitely be back — it’s rare to find somewhere that gets it all so right.
Great service here with particular attention to dietary restrictions- gluten free. Kids menu was good value and we enjoyed the new honey chicken. It was a little fatty in places and the gyoza could have been cooked a little more. Really attentive staff who looked after us throughout and made sure we had a nice table and were happy with everything.
Fast turnaround on freshly cooked food and lots of options. Would recommend for families needing gluten and non-gluten containing options.
Lovely birthday meal. Staff made us very welcome and we luckily got a table overlooking the lake as we’d requested. Jess, our waitress, was friendly and helpful and made sure my husband’s meal was gluten free. Delicious meal.
Early Bird Bakery is hands down one of the best spots in Kings Heath!
As someone who’s always on the hunt for great gluten-free options, I was blown away by their selection. It’s not just a token “one or two GF items” kind of place; they genuinely go the extra mile to make sure there are plenty of delicious choices.
I ordered some special cakes for Christmas, and they were beyond incredible—beautifully decorated, moist, and full of flavor.
But it’s not just the food that makes this place special—it’s the people. The staff are genuinely lovely, always happy to help, and clearly passionate about what they do. It’s one of those rare places where you feel like more than just a customer—you feel like part of a little bakery-loving family.
Excellent friendly service, when I advised one of our party was gluten free they knew exactly what do to do and which menus and allergen info we needed, food was very nice, gluten free pizza base was pretty good, not the best we’ve had but far from the worse. Our server OliviaG was on it, attentive and friendly, we would eat here again.
I was served by Karhys who was very kind and handled my need to eat gluten-free with great professionalism.
There is a separate, entirely gluten-free menu with an interesting choice of starters, main courses and desserts. Unfortunately, for now, there is only one vegan option in the gluten-free main courses; the raisukaree with tofu is really very good!
Celebrated mine and my husbands birthday here last night. Honestly cannot fault the place, it really is as good as the reviews say. I’m gluten free and have never been catered for so well. Thank you!
Please be careful if you are a coeliac. I ordered a gluten free takeaway sandwich which I clocked it had crispy onions in, took it back to ask if it was a gluten free and was told that it wasn’t and was offered a refund (hence 2 stars instead of 1). Really gutted as gluten free options seemed exciting, but can’t risk coming here again.
Great gluten free experience. Staff really looked after me. My daughter brought me here for Mothers Day having found their gluten free menu. Will definitely come back. Theresa and Callum our servers were great!
Visited Coffee Tales in the Jewellery Quarter yesterday while visiting Birmingham. We had the gluten free hazelnut cake and a jacket potato with cheese and beans. We have been in the UK for 3 weeks now and this was the best jacket potato I have had since visiting! SOO good! The gluten free hazelnut cake was amazing, I really liked the Nutella frosting! Plus the portions are huge, definitely good value for your money!
Food and service is always excellent - thanks to Ananya today). Our dog loves the outdoor space and we appreciate the heaters that keep it toasty. Tried the gluten free chocolate brownie which was delicious.
Dee served us at the Birmingham Bullring branch and really made our night. She was attentive, professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We dined with a coeliac at the table and she was extremely averse with the menu and all of the dietary requirements for our friend. She helped us and literally was the reason we would love to come back :)
The restaurant was very busy, therefore loud, and as a result the atmosphere score is down. The service was really friendly, but when we first arrived (17:00) it didn't seem like there was many staff. This improved by the time we left, and the service did also.
Irrespective of that, the food was actually really good. Both of us are gluten-free and both our meals were delicious.
More gluten free and vegan dishes please!
Jowell is such a customer orientated manager, very kind and cares so much about people you can tell. He made our meal so much better and works so hard running around everywhere helping people.
Thanks a bunch
The workers were very polite and professional. We booked in advance and on arrival we were asked if our preference was table or booth, even offering us an extra chair if the booth was too tight. They were attentive throughout, clearing plates and checking if we were okay etc.
Overall excellent customer service which created a genuine welcoming atmosphere. They accommodated us with a gluten free pizza inclusive, despite gluten free pizza not being a buffet dish. We were also given the allergen book. Our party included 3 children who all enjoyed the food and buffet experience. The child with allergies had no complaints.
I was very appreciative of the kids eat free (when you spend…) deal! The flow of food and range was very good! Delicious pizzas, salad and ice cream. Next time I will also try the pasta!
Absolutely amazing service and hospitality from Hend and team at the Damascena Coffee House in Edgbaston; atmosphere warm, welcoming, pleasant music, clean and comfortable; Chef 👨🍳 welcomes with a smile... delicious and healthy cinnamon chai; free private parking off Hagley Rd available. What a delight to dine-in with family and friends OR take-away with gluten-free and vegan food available 😋 🙏 👏 ❤️
What a lovely restaurant. Met friends in town for lunch. Had a great meal and they catered well for our coeliac gluten free friend. Good selection of wines to accompany our 3 course lunch. Would highly recommend the specials.
Disclaimer I didn't eat here, I'm coeliac and the restaurant were completely transparent and said although items were marked GF they use the same utensils and wouldn't be suitable for those with coeliac. It's a shame as the food looked amazing. Just be sure to ask about cross contamination etc, if you're intolerant and not that sensitive or can have trace amounts of gluten it's prob fine though
Super cute cafe we visited whilst on holiday and they have gf and vegan options. As coeliac it was lovely to have some options that were coeliac safe. The biggest thing that inclined me to to leave this review though is the amount of thought they put into cross contamination when preparing my drink. They cleaned the milk frother spout, the milk jug and prepared it before my friends order containing gluten. I even heard them say 'this is for the coeliac' when passing the drink to each other to give it to me. I really appreciated the amount of forethought they'd put into preparing my drink as that has never happened in my 6 years of being diagnosed coeliac so MASSIVE THANK YOU! It really meant a lot to me and made me feel safer to enjoy my order. Lovely setup and decor inside the coffee shop, lovely looking cakes and just the vibe was chill. Highly recommend! P.S. the latte was perfect!

We went for Mother’s Day & the food was beautiful, Sunday dinners were lovely and great portion sizes. We had a gluten free member of the party and our waitress Danielle was very helpful in finding out the options, and was very attentive asking if we wanted anything throughout the whole time we were here! Thanks so much we’ll be back!
Great food, full of flavour. Attentive service. Clearly labelled gluten-free options. Gluten-free bread has milk. There are many vegetarian options. Usually you need to wait for a table as it is busy.
Lovely food in a relaxing environment.
The team were able to cater for my gluten intolerance changing the bread for a gf alternative.
Many thanks to Kim, and Eliza for the wonderful coffee.
Thank you to all the team.
Came across this delightful cafe while visiting Birmingham Jewellry Quarter. We had the Harira soup, flatbread and a drink. Both were delicious. They catered for ny dairy free and my husbands gluten free diet. Will definitely recommend this cafe.
Decided to have a birthday treat with lunch at Inji. Food and service were very good with reasonable prices. The food was delicious and refreshingly different. There was something there for everyone. Really recommend this lovely family restaurant that were very helpful with vegan and gluten-free options 🙂
I had a Delicious Gluten Sensitive Waffle with all my favourites toppings. Beautiful Aesthetic for anyone wanting pics, and service was Great. We will definitely return
I went to this restaurant today with my daughter, I have been a few times and have always loved the food as they are able to cater for my gluten free dietary requirements however today I have had a shockingly poor service. It was just myself and my daughter and we sat at the round table nearest to the kitchen, my daughter got asked to move due to the restrictions in space created between the kitchen and main space by where she sat. We did move but 30 minutes later whilst we were sat at the 4 seater table next to the round table 4 young people came in, sat at the round table and not once did they get told that where they were sitting was creating restrictions. I am Asian and my daughter has dual heritage. The 4 people that came and sat at the round table were all white. Personally I do feel that the restriction to the availability of the gap, which creates a health and safety issue is down to the restaurant placing the tables where they have. Not the customers! I approached the staff to ask why myself and my daughter - especially my 14 year old daughter was spoken to as if she had created the issue but the 4 white people who created the same restriction did not get spoken to. In fact once we were sat at the 4 seater square table and they were at the 4 seater round table there was more of a restriction - but nothing got said to the white customers at all. I have made a complaint to the company in regards to their singling out of my daughter based on colour but nothing being said to the white people who were in the same seats as us when we first went in. This highlights the ongoing prejudice and unconscious bias by the staff at this location. I have always enjoyed the food in the restaurant but the staff tried to justify the reason they spoke to 1 person at that table over others in regards to the restrictions sitting at the table was creating - if that is the case then they should be saying something to every customer sitting their regardless of their colour. Not just picking and choosing who they wish to say this to based on colour or age of their patrons. When this was pointed out to them they still tried to justify what was said. This restaurant needs to rethink which tables are closest to the serving area and the kitchen and I will be reporting them to Bham City Council Food Standards and Health and Safety for creating hazards and restrictions through their seating plans. I asked the restaurant to be aware of their own unconscious bias in regards to how they are treating different customers and they still could not see what they had done wrong.

Great place visited with friends I loved the food as a gluten free vegan the chef personally tailored the food to my needs and gave me great options on top of what they had. I recommend the place to all.
Superb restaurant. Tried chai tea for the first time and was surprisingly pleasant. Curry, rice and masala fries were amazing. Staff were all extremely attentive and helped with gluten free options. Was even offered the opportunity to move seats as we were near a large party that were dining in and they considered that we might have been disturbed by the noise - although we were happy where we were.
