About Bobby's Variety Bites Takeaway

Bobby's Variety Bites Takeaway, a takeaway in Birmingham, serves baguettes, jacket potatoes and kebabs for collection or delivery from Alum Rock Road. The Cajun Chicken and Spicy Baguettes anchor the menu, alongside a Cheeseburger, and meals typically come with a side salad. Two tables seat groups of four for those eating in. Orders are cash only, and the shop opens daily on a walk-in basis. This location sits opposite the mosque, on the site of the former Capitol Cinema, with the original branch on Ladypool Road.

Customer Review Summary

The Cajun baguette anchors most praise, repeatedly called fresh and well made, with several diners returning specifically for it and one calling the cheese salad baguette a worthy pairing. Close behind, the jacket potato with cajun chicken and fresh salad draws mentions for its quality and fast service, and a tuna baguette gets singled out by one reviewer as excellent. Several note the fresh salad accompanying meals and quick preparation, and the owner is repeatedly described as welcoming and engaged with customers. A few raise complaints: one reviewer says baguettes have shrunk in size compared to before, and one notes the chicken marinade could use more spice. More seriously, two separate reviewers report stomach upset after eating, one mentioning a branch where staff weren't seen wearing gloves and the shop felt disorganized, and another missing cheese on an order. Despite this, most describe consistent quality over many years, with one noting the place has stayed reliable for well over a decade.

    “Great Cajun baguette, still going strong for well over a decade. The cheese salad baguette was nice too”

    “This is a tiny place opposite the mosque that used to be the capitol cinema. It’s pretty similar to variety bites on alum rock road but not sure if there is a connection. I ordered the potato with chilli con carne which is £5. I asked for cheese and jalapeños and total bill came to £6. However, much to my chagrin, no cheese was put on it. The mince was nice but the potato seems low quality, the next morning I also had an upset stomach. I plan on trying the Mexican pasta and pasta bolognese next.”
