Reviews of Opheem

I had the pleasure of dining here for my birthday and what an extraordinary culinary experience it was. I cannot fault one dish I was served, the attention to detail and the presentation/taste was out of this world. The staff are extremely attentive and helpful when explaining the menu; however I genuinely have no words for the food as it’s truly indescribable… the combination of flavours, textures and taste was just phenomenal. Left here feeling truly content and satisfied, I highly recommend visiting on an empty stomach… what an amazing 2* Michelin dining experience!

Wow, what an amazing experience. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable. We had the 10 course tasting menu and 4 “snacks” in the bar, which was all included. To say we were full to bursting at the end is an understatement. No wonder this restaurant has 2 Michelin stars. It’s a must try if you’re in Birmingham. Thank you Aktar Islam and all your amazing staff.

What an amazing experience. Every little detail was thought through. Food looked and tasted amazing!! One of my favorites was the potato 5 ways and the lamb rib. Def go hungry as towards the end I was struggling. They look tiny but they add so many lovely little extras. Will 100% recommend. Service was amazing and staff lovely and knowledgeable.

I booked the table a while ago when it was still a one-star restaurant but now they have two stars. Food was amazing with several snacks, and the dining area was beautiful. Before and after the meal, we were taken to a lounge where we were expected to order more drinks, which I found a bit uncomfortable. While the service was alright, I didn’t opt for the wine pairing and felt the staff weren’t as attentive compared to those who did. Overall it was a great experience and the 10-course menu cost £135pp.

Another amazing visit to Opheem today. Outstanding from start to end. Incredible service from the moment we stepped foot in the front door until the moment we left. The food was just superb, every course was a masterclass in flavor and textures and the service. was impossible to fault. Congratulations on the 2nd Star, a lot of hard work & dedication to have achieved that accolade. Thank you made my birthday truly memorable 👏👏👏👏👏

I've never really fancied trying a fine dining restaurant for a number of reasons. 1 the cost of these places, 2 always worried that I wouldn't be full at the end. 3. Actually getting a reservation. It was £125 for a 10 course tasting menu and it was worth every penny. The food was outstanding in every aspect. The look, flavours and textures were unbelievable. This is my first experience with fine dining and I don't think it will be my last. I'm normally the type of guy that orders the biggest items on the menu to make sure I'm full. I had concerns I would still be hungry after seeing images of the small plates that are associated with fine dinning. This was not the case at all just the right amount of food for even a large eater like my self. I would return to this place in a heart beat. 11 out of 10

Four of us had a lunchtime Birthday celebration. Ten course tasting menu £125 was an experience rather than just a meal. Allow at least three hours! Food as you might expect was very innovative with an Asian twist. Portions a decent size. You will not leave hungry. Dishes included scallops, sea bass, cod, lamb, venison plus the vegetable dishes which were equally as good. Staff are great, you feel relaxed and Aktar came to our table twice to discuss the dish being served. A great touch, as was the hand written Birthday card. Some courses at the beginning & end are served in the lounge. Aktar comes over as a thoroughly decent person. It must be hard maintaining this standard. The place was pretty much full, which creates a great ambience There is some parking outside including disabled spaces

A wonderful three course lunch at Opheem, with additional unexpected snacks and treats, where service was very attentive but by no means intrusive. Vegetarian dietary requirements were catered for with each course being carefully explained. The food and drink served was incredible, just a couple of things weren't to our taste. My first fine dining experience which I'll always remember.
