About Al Fursan Restaurant
On Stratford Rd in Birmingham, Al Fursan Restaurant serves Yemeni dishes including Mandi with lamb and chicken, fahsa and Foul Madammus, alongside meat platters with rice, grilled chicken, lamb kofta and chicken kofta kebab. Every order arrives with a complimentary lentil soup. Meal-for-two platters come in portions large enough to stretch beyond two diners, and Adeni tea is available to round out the meal. Separate family rooms and booths are set aside for private or family groups. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations, and it fills up at busier times. Some menu items are not always available, and communication in English is limited when the kitchen is at its busiest.

Customer Review Summary
Mandi is the dish reviewers return to most, with the lamb described as extremely tender and one first-timer calling it delicious. Close behind is the meal for two with fahsa, which several say easily feeds four, along with platters of grilled chicken, lamb kofta kebab and chicken kofta. The complimentary lentil soup and the Adeni tea draw praise, and reviewers repeatedly mention generous portions, low prices and friendly staff. Several also note the separate family rooms and booths.

“Inappropriate comments and unwarranted flirt attempts made from the Yemeni waiter with blue eyes towards me with my mum present. You have one job and it’s to serve customers - with utmost respect. Shame as regular customers, we will no longer attend.”

“We visited Al Fursan and ordered a small meat platter, Foul Madammus, omelette, Fet-Teh-Moaz & Tamr, two teas and some drinks for the kids. The food was delicious and fresh, and the prices were very reasonable, which we appreciated. However, half of the menu wasn’t available at the time, which was disappointing. Hygiene needs improvement, especially in the dining area. Also, the person who came to take our order couldn’t speak a word of English, which made it quite difficult to communicate. There’s potential here, but a few important areas need attention.”

“Visited with family. We were given a separate room. Mandi was delicious and I loved the complimentary soup. The taste was good and the presentation. It gets very busy, service was not that bad. I had a look around the kitchen area, hygiene could be improved. Overall good food and good prices l.”

“Authentic Flavours, Great Prices, Warm Welcome Al Fursan is the kind of place you remember long after the meal is over. No fancy décor, no pretension – just incredible Middle Eastern food bursting with flavour, served in a relaxed, friendly setting. Every dish is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned – the kind that makes you want to come back the next day. Prices are surprisingly low for the quality you get, making it a perfect spot for anyone who loves great food without the big bill. The staff are warm and welcoming, adding to that easy-going, local, street-food vibe. If you want authentic taste, great value, and genuine hospitality, skip the fancy restaurants and head straight to Al Fursan – you won’t regret it.”
