About Aura Lounge Birmingham

Aura Lounge Birmingham is a restaurant in Birmingham, on Bishop St, serving burgers, nachos and noodles with shisha alongside the food. Each table has a lamp that changes colour when guests are ready to order, and the staff then come over to the table. Dry ice shows are also staged at the table with the food. The kitchen is halal, and the menu includes dynamite shrimp and beef wok noodles. The venue is non-alcohol, so drinks centre on mocktails, including the Unicorn Mocktail. A DJ plays music, and seating is split between a downstairs area and an upstairs area. A jet ski, a moped and a pair of wings by the door make up part of the decor. Payment is cash only, with an ATM inside.

Customer Review Summary

Shisha draws the most mentions, described as smooth and excellent, usually paired with a meal or a birthday night out. Close behind is the food, with dynamite shrimp, beef wok noodles, beef teriyaki noodles, lamb chops and a lotus French toast singled out, along with the Unicorn and Flamingo mocktails. One diner found the dynamite shrimp soft rather than crunchy, and another found the peppercorn sauce lacking in flavour and notes that steak is cooked only medium or well done. The DJ earns repeated praise for taking requests and keeping the energy high. Service splits. Several describe friendly staff and prompt attention, while one reviewer called it extremely slow on a quiet day, with unfinished plates left on the table while they smoked shisha. Another describes being sent to an upstairs room with dusty tables, mismatched chairs and clutter, and leaving before ordering. Many enjoy the lamp on each table that changes colour when a party is ready to order.

    “A fantastic experience at Aura. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour, the shisha was excellent, and the atmosphere was stylish, relaxed and welcoming. The service was attentive and professional without being intrusive Dee was amazing. A great place for a sophisticated evening with friends — highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

    “We came in as a group of friends for a birthday meal. We came through the door with our booked reservation and was sent upstairs at this moment we was not fussed as we thought it was as good as the decor downstairs: the waiter who greeted us did not have a smile on his face and was treating us poorly with a poor attitude which we didn’t pay too much attention to.We went upstairs we could hear the fan it was not a restaurant upstairs it was a storage room with all the brown furniture the table were full of dust and the chairs were mismatched. The lighting was absolutely terrible and the waiter said come downstairs call me for your order. As a customer in all my experiences of going restaurant the waiter always comes and says are you ready to order which was abit strange at this restaurant. There was a lot of junk upstairs making our experience very unpleasant making us leave before we could order food also the restaurant menu online is not the same at all to the one instore. Honestly disappointing we had to move”

    “What a really great experience the five of us had. The food was incredibe as where the mocktails. A good selection of teas, coffees, and soft drinks too. This is a non-alcohol establishment so free table water is not available. When, seated you're given a small lamp. When you need service, you change the colour of the lamp and somone arrives promtly. The decor is fantastic and good fun with a jet ski, a moped and a pair of wings by the door. We don't go to Birmingham as a rule, normally just driving through. Now we have a reason to stop. Well done to the Aura Lounge team and Thank you again.”

    “Went here during the weekend for food and shisha. Food was very tasty, note that they do not cook steak medium rare and only cook it medium or well done. Peppercorn sauce had lacked flavour and did not add to the steak. However, the beef teriyaki noodles and other bits of food we got were so good, would highly recommend. Service here was extremely slow. Our plates of food were not cleaned even after we had left the table and ordered shisha. We were smoking shisha with the smell of our unfinished food for a while which wasn’t pleasant. The staff here were friendly otherwise just very slow at attending to customers. It was very quiet at the time so there was no reason for service to be as slow as it was. The food and shisha definitely made up for it and it’s a good visit if you’re in the area :) 7/10”
