About Al ARABI GRILL HOUSE

On Martineau Way in Birmingham, Al Arabi Grill House is a Middle Eastern restaurant serving grills, kebabs, mixed grill, and rice dishes on large plates with generous portions. Meals begin with complimentary soup, often lentil, before the mains arrive. Sheesh tawok is among the recurring orders. Seating is set up for walk-ins rather than formal sit-down dining, with no reservations needed, and food is served daily. Outdoor seating gives diners the option to eat outside, and high chairs are available for families with young children. With multiple dishes ordered, plates can arrive at different times as they come off the grill.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often single out the complimentary lentil soup, served with sweet corn and bread before the meal, and several mention it as a favourite touch. Close behind are the grills, with the mixed grill, the sheesh tawook and the kebabs repeatedly described as tasty, along with big portions that some take home. A few also mention a lamb tangine and a salmon platter they enjoyed, and reviewers call the prices reasonable. The complaints are real though. One reviewer says the wings were uncooked, the soup arrived cold, mains took over 50 minutes and plates were chipped. Another reports a group's sixth meal arriving when the others had nearly finished, and one says the seafood tush tush was not well made. A diner also notes a piece of chicken that was slightly pink, which staff explained openly. One reviewer was surprised that pasta now comes on the plate.

    “This is my go-to spot. The food is super tasty, the prices are very reasonable, and the portion sizes are huge (I almost always have to take some home!). They also give you great sauces and a complimentary yellow lentil dahl that is just amazing. Highly recommend!”

    “Popped in for lunch. Food was delicious and the lentil soup a bit of sweet corn with bread was good while I waited for the food to arrive. The food portions are very generous on a very large plate. I had a Salmon platter which I really enjoyed”

    “I visited a restaurant and had a really great experience. The complimentary starters, soup and sweet corn, were very tasty. We also tried the mixed grill, which was absolutely delicious and well cooked. The staff member Asta was very friendly and her service was excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and I would definitely visit again.”
