About Cafe Mint

On Stratford Rd in Birmingham, Cafe Mint is a brunch restaurant open daily for daytime service. The menu runs to 111 dishes, with the Mint House Special and Classic Tomato Shakshuka alongside the Desi Dawn and Mughal Morning plates. A stone-fired oven turns out flatbreads and naan to go with the cooked dishes, and karak chai is poured as the drink alongside the food. Spanish latte is also available for those who prefer coffee. Seating is spacious, with booths set toward the back of the room, and high chairs are available for families with young children. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than bookings, so guests seat themselves as tables come free. Those wanting the food off site can order takeaway. It opens every day for daytime hours only, with no evening service.

Customer Review Summary

Karak chai draws the most attention, with several diners calling it among the best they've had, though one reviewer found it basic and lacking depth compared to specialist chai spots. The Desi Dawn breakfast comes up repeatedly too, praised by one for its portion and quality on a birthday visit, while another felt the poori to chana and halwa ratio was off and the food wasn't served hot enough. Close behind, the Shaam special, Royal Benedict, and Mughal breakfast (with its keema and halwa) earn individual praise for flavor and presentation, and several mention generous portions and a stone fired oven for fresh flatbreads. Service is consistently called friendly and attentive, with staff going out of their way, though one visitor disliked having to order at the till rather than at the table. A lone critical review also described a Lotus Biscoff cheesecake as bland with a soft, crumbly base that didn't match its appearance. One diner recalls a chef packing up a complimentary house special they hadn't ordered after they'd already eaten.

    “We had a lovely breakfast at this Turkish cafe. The portions were generous, the food was great, and everything was fresh and satisfying. A really enjoyable start to the day, and I’d happily come back again.”

    “We drove past and decided to pop in for some breakfast and im so glad we did. My husband had the mugal breakfast and I had the mint breakfast. The keema in the mugal was delicious as was the halwa. Will definitely be bringing the kids next time.”

    “My wife went with a friend when it first opened and they weren’t that impressed. …”
  • Saida Janjua
    “A brilliant gem of a place. My niece recommended it to me so I wanted to check it out. I'm so glad I did. It was busy when we went around 1.30pm always a good sign. The cafe had a pleasant relaxing vibe. Everyone was enjoying themselves and the food. The service was brilliant from start to finish, very customer orientated. We had the Shaam special, it was beautiful presented and tasted delicious. A big mention to the chef, Sami who made time for a friendly chat and insisted we try his house special on the house, but we had already eaten , so he packed it for us. I thought that was very sweet of him. I shall definitely be going back to try their velvet spinach shashuska and explore their other menu items. The prices are reasonable. I would say its one of my favourite brunch places.”
