Save yourself a whole wodge of cash by going here instead next time. Just around the corner - the food is almost as good, the bill is a third of Gaucho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressed with it! Food was bang on and service was great. I had the goats cheese salad for starters and milanese chicken for main. A mate had the yellowfin tuna which he said was superb! Cocktails were very good - we did overdo it on the espresso martinis a tad. Bill was about £400 for the 3 of us but we did drink a lot! Lunch did last about 5 hours due to the cocktails that kept on flowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're called masala chips and I guess it's a sprinkling of spices and possibly a bit of coriander.....well worth trying....gives them bit of a kick.

peterms Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm entertaining (well, feeding) some Lithuanians at the moment. They don't do spices, it seems. I've done some very plain stuff like lasagne that goes down well, but it seems very conservative in food faste (and religion and politics, apparently).

A'Villan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Went to a cafe/restaurant last night for my little Brother's 24th. Located on the famous restaurant strip, Lygon St. Absolutely delicious. I had the calamari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never get anything done because the president constantly changes with new ideas. Their big problem is population decline; young people are leaving or young men are killing themselves It's all a bit depressing really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Haven’t had it for a few years as I moved away from Oldbury but the Railway Inn mixed grill takeaway was always hard to beat for me. Sublime. Trying to find something like that near to Kings Heath but failing. Unless you want trendy hipster crap on York Road then KH is a bit of an abyss for non pretentious food.
