Quick info
About Desco Lounge
Desco Lounge is a restaurant on Unit 9 in Solihull, serving classic British dishes throughout the day in a room hung with eclectic wall art. Breakfast and brunch run alongside the wider menu, and it opens daily with no set booking, on a walk-in basis. The kitchen sets out full dedicated menus for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and nut allergy diners rather than adapting standard plates, covering the same range as the main offering. Seating is regularly busy, though some visits find it busy without feeling crowded. The setting keeps a casual, offbeat character rather than a formal dining room layout.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly praise the friendly, quick staff and hot, freshly cooked food, with the brisket birria toastie and Louisiana Chicken singled out as standouts, and one reviewer noting generous portions for the price. The quirky, 1970s-inspired decor and upbeat atmosphere draw regular return visits, including families and one disabled patron who describes staff accommodating a wheelchair and raising the table for easier access, plus help managing a nut allergy. A recurring complaint concerns rising prices against shrinking portions, with one reviewer citing two spoons of beans served with the vegan breakfast and a £64 bill for three without drinks that still left the table unsatisfied, and another flagging £20 for two Captain Morgan doubles. One reviewer also notes dogs are permitted inside beyond service animals. Several describe becoming regulars, with one family eating there two to three times a week and another visiting weekly with an elderly relative, often citing the same friendly reception each time.

“> My family and I found Desco Lounge recently and we’re already regulars. The food is always hot, fresh, and the portions are generous for the price. Staff are friendly, quick, and make you feel welcome every time. It’s clean, relaxed, and a great spot to eat out 2-3 times a week. We’ll definitely be back.”

“We booked for a celebratory family brunch. The food and service were as always excellent. Very helpful dealing with a nut allergy member of our party. Special thanks to Megan for her help and support.”
- Anand Singh
“Prices have gone up and portion sizes gone down. Ordered the big vegan breakfast and received two spoons of beans for two sourdough breads. Busy atmosphere and we did get out food quick at least. £64 for three, without drinks and still left not full.”

“I come here regularly on Mondays with my elderly mum. The staff are so nice and friendly, especially the young man that served us today. Lovely food and good atmosphere. Thank you very much”
- Helen Coles
“This is a great place to go if you are looking for really good food and excellent service. The decor is quirky, reminiscent of the 1970s, mix and match, but it really works. The staff are particularly friendly, especially Sydney, the duty manager there, who was extremely welcoming. The food was freshly cooked and well presented, served hot and in a timely manner. They have several little 'stations' dotted around where you can sit and quietly read, or the children and colour or play. A great place to eat. Would highly recommend.”
