"The food is really enjoyable. Some of the meat can be a bit dry in parts but generally speaking it's quite good. Is it better than what you'd get at the average chippy? Not for what it costs. Ordering two box meals and a couple of sides got the cost up to £50 with charges. Considering a large mixed meat in naan at my local chip shop is £7, it's incredibly expensive.There's far too much waste which really needs to be addressed. Every food item is at least two layers of packaging deep. With a box meal you have the outer corrugated cardboard box, then all dividers inside, then the kebab sandwich is in a box of its own, then it's in a foil wrapper, then it's in a paper wrapper. It's all needless waste and when we're all trying to be more conscious of our carbon footprint this just isn't required.There are some nice things that just aren't replicated elsewhere, their kebab bread is fantastic and very similar to a traditional Turkish pide. Their sauces are really good too. Full of flavour and balanced well with the meat but I will say there's never enough of it. Three little poxy pots is all you get.The fries are average. Nothing remarkable about them. The spicy fries are a tasty addition but this option does bump up the price but again, perfectly average.Overall I'd recommend that it's worth trying at least once but the prices are way over valued and quantity in some areas lack. If they cut down on all the needless packaging they could even bring the prices down but £15-20 for a box meal (one can of pop, one kebab sandwich, one fries and two spring rolls) it's a bit of a joke."

"located in the cornwall street in the business district of the city, is opus, a restaurant known for its dedication to sustainability, social responsibility and community engagement. on Tuesday night we have selected three courses from the market menu, so called that the menu is joined after what is good and plentiful on the market. food with a basket of (cold and dry) brot we washed our appetite, we went directly into the pflasterhof pork terrine. presented on an elongated shape plate, similar to the terrine plate itself, the meat was surprisingly dense with little gel. with aromen remembering a Hog-Rost, the accompanying apfelpüre became artistic, but spearly around the plate dotted along with some fruity spicy vegetables including green flower cabbage. next we were treated with a turned-off menu plate from pan roasted scallops. a personal favorite of me, they were delicious, fresh, juicy and plump. my slow braided blade of bark was a very generous part of soft, fat meat, which was greatly improved by the accompanying jus. the star of this teller was the hearty horseradish monkey. meanwhile, my ess mate chose brixham market fish of the day, confit fenchel, steamed kartoffels and autumn green. the Béarnaise sauce has the juicy and as promised, market fresh fish that is considered cod. dessert was a citrus potset (creamy and intensively smooth,) with fruit salsa (tart) and short brot and icy blackberry parrot with poached brombeer; both were fresh, lively and delightful. the service was quiet so it was to curious diners like us to ask about the more unusual ingredients on the plate. price at £15.50 for three courses, the market menu offers exceptional value for money. on the menu a la carte are starter £7 £10, mostly are £10 £20, and most desserts are £7. overall a firm favorit with the smart deal that was eating conservative with few surprises. the quality of the raw components is clear and the aromene are left clean and uncomplicated according to the purpose to allow them to shine through. I would say, opus is a safe bet for diners, the qualitatiw high quality food with provenance at one of the smartest addresses of the city."

"The real ale pub x Indian grub combo is a tried and tested one, and Birmingham is has got a great selection of pubs that bring the two under one roof. It isn't located in the greatest part of town, being primarily industrial buildings and take-away's, but parking after 6 is free which is a bonus. The pub itself looks like a classic tiled boozer from the outside, and saying its a little run down on the inside is being kind. That said, give me a characterful old building over an overly polished one any day! The only real complaint was the temperature, it was pretty chilly inside, I wasn't the only person in there keeping my winter coat on! Now we didn't exactly work our way through the menu, choosing instead to order a single large mixed grill between the two of us. I'd read a lot about the mixed grill and its gargantuan size, and I wasn't disappointed! A cast iron sizzling platter piled high with, chicken wings, chicken tikka, kebab and fish served with a couple of dipping sauces on the side. The meat was all well cooked and served hot by the friendly staff, who go out of their way to accommodate you, without it ever seeming like a chore. It would have been nice to be served a bit of salad with what was a gargantuan platter of meat, I feel this would have added to the experience at very little cost to the pub. As I wasn't drinking at the time, I can't comment on how the beer is kept, but they have a good selection of lagers and a couple of hand pumps on the bar (that were in use importantly! so there is an excellent choice too. The bill came to £19 for the two of us, including 2 large soft drinks, brilliant value given the amount of food! I would recommend Hen and Chickens to anyone looking for a big tasty meal and a couple of pints, as long as you don't mind the rough and ready decor!"
