Gabriels Pizza, Fish & Chips Harborne Birmingham — Restaurant in Birmingham

A true Heavyweight within the highly contested B17 Takeaway Food division.

Fine selection of cuisines, made from high quality produce: Kebabs & Wraps, Pizza, Burgers and all the way to the old faithful, Fish & Chips or, for the smaller appetite, a Posh Salad....

For the 5 years I have been a customer always, always a good meal. As agreed by the lad and missus and my old mum. Happy faces one and all.

Yes, they deliver, as do many. Over the same time period as above. No problems encountered with any deliveries.

Should you care to visit (and, at least once, you should) you'll be treated to great service. 9 out of 10 visits it's big smiles from the staff. The boss is always grinning. Or he has wind.

Nothing seems to be too much trouble for these guys. With the boss often dishing out freebies later on in the night. The only caveat is ordering specials on entry. Easy.

Once there, in person, you will see why the 5* hygiene rating, as it is deserved. Spotless, almost on the brink of immaculately clean. I would have full confidence that 'Dodgy Belly Sunday' is not included in the price.

Price is a contested topic. I am happy, in fact enjoy, the roll of the dice with CHEAP street food, from hawkers, in far flung places. But maybe I should grow up or become more risk averse.

Gabriel's isn't 'cheap'. Not in the strictest sense of the word.

But, very importantly (and current cost of living crisis complicates things here) I believe it is good value. That is once these two points are noted: Portion Size & Gluttony.

To put it another way, the price of a bag of regular chips here is probably noticeably more than you would pay down the road. But it will be significantly larger from Gabriel's.

The portions here are like a plate of Gulliver's Saturday night fare, in Lilliput. Massive. However, for me, being gluttonous, when I am hungry. I want to Go F.Large.

Do Not fall into this trap, throttle back, don't get ambitious with the ordering and don't end up paying for food you...

Update: Gabriel's no longer have a sit in option but still seem to do Fish and Chips which is a shame as Brum doesn't have many good sit-in chip shops.

Had to ferry sometime food friend Bob to the hospital as they can’t find his brain and needed to search his legs for it, so we planned to visit Dad’s Lane afterwards. However as his brain is so small we were done by 4pm and Dad’s Lane was still closed, so! We hit up Gabriels instead. Overall it was a good experience. It was quiet as they hadn’t long opened. The small seating area is really nice and the shop is very clean and smart. Ordered a medium fish and chips and this was more than enough. The fish was excellent and is cooked to order. Fresh and not greasy. The batter was just a bit thick and tasteless but not stodgy by any means. Just would like it to be thinner and crisper. My chips were a bit cold but were otherwise ok. Had they been cooked fresh too this might have got another star. The staff were friendly and the service is excellent. I’d happily eat here again but would ask for fresh cooked chips. It’s also good value and they do...

BEST CHIPPY in the world? Could well be! I absolutely love the chips here at Gabriels. Why? Well it starts with the easy parking despite being at the top of the busy Harborne High Street. With some spaces on the road and additional spaces on the car park (just remember to enter your car reg on the tablet on the counter in the shop!). Then the actual shop is very smartly presented and clean. You can even see the food being prepared and your order being made out. The staff are so nice and polite that you feel you stepped in your own kitchen. And they dress clean and tidy which is so important for me. But the food is where it is actually at. The chips are without doubt the best I have ever had and I have eaten all over the world. They are the best potatoes for sure and they are cooked to perfection. Neither undercooked nor overly heated. And they are always fresh. Never reheated either. I just couldn't resist in putting my box of chips on the ground outside the shop to capture a photo of the delicious chips today. YUMMY YUMMY,...
