Al-Qamar Restaurant — Restaurant in Birmingham

Arrived at 1:30 to be told i have to wait until 3:30 for a table which i did not mind as we did not make a booking to be honest we wasn't aware of this in the first place however we didnt mine because it was Christmas its bound to be busy etc. Set menu came with no pricing no drinks options to choose from just a foreign waiter telling you the options could not understand her. Was seated at table which beyond sticky and was told its the table itself thats like that because of the varnish which is a load of rubbish as i am a carpenter for over 10 years that was nothing but a build up of grease and dirt sinking into the pores of the wooden top table i was given extra napkins to place over it and also i Had asked for cake three times in 15mins to 2 different waiters to finally get something and made my wife wait a further 5mins for hers defeats the purpose of eating together above all that a waiter picked up a spoon from our table looking me in the face with out asking to only go give it to another guest on another table which i found very disgusting and unhygienic. I will never step foot into this place again. Rather donate the money to a shelter than ever return nothing but money greedy if you ask me. Worst ever service. Go at...

Came here on recommendation of a friend. And oh boy! This definitely didn't disappoint.

On first glance the location has an at home vibe with a cosy interior (a breath of fresh from the more flashy in your face stuff you get elsewhere) and head chef Idris makes that ever more apparent with a wide smile to greet you.

The menu is simple and in keeping it this way, I'm sure you can guarantee freshness, fast service and amazing taste (other customers appeared to be enjoying their food too). Nothing complicated or pretentious, just good simple food.

I ordered soup of the day to start which was a hot, well seasoned, noodle soup, served with some amazing bread (crunch on the crust and a soft middle). The mains arrived very swfity after the starters. I ordered a mixed grill with rice. I can honestly say one of the best mix grill plates in Birmingham, there were some juicy and tender lamb chops, well seasoned and mouth-watering shish tawuk with some basmati rice and a seasoned salad (refreshing change) with a delectable dressing. A must try if you're in Birmingham and after a quieter spot away from the...

Iv been here once before and loved it. Food was amazing and service was very good. Me and my family decided to go on Father’s Day. We thought it would be really busy but luckily it wasn’t. There were quite a few tables empty. This time, unfortunately the service was much slower, had to ask the waitresses for a menu after waiting 15mins, once ordered the food came and not the drinks. Again had to ask for our drinks which we had ordered first. Then 5 of us could not finish our food as the meat was extremely salty. We tried to mix it in with the potatoes and veg and it was still very salty. We didn’t want to waste and we don’t like to throw food away but we really struggled. We Really didn’t want to make a fuss to spoil it for the family, but infact it did spoil our meal. I explained to the girl who served us whilst trying to eat it, it was really salty, then again to the other lady when I went to pay. She just said she will let the chef know for next time!!! No discount or refund was offered!!! We paid almost £100 for a meal we couldn’t eat and really...
