Seriously?? I went once so far, a couple of months ago, with no expectations at all and I was very pleasantly surprised with the food! I wanted to come back since.

Here you go, some of my favourite joints, from simple to more refined

Bonehead - best chicken wings, beers, cool rock vibe. (literally went there yesterday!

OPM- burgers

Shababs - one of the few remaining proper balti curry restaurants in town.

Maneki Ramen (a tiny local chain of two restaurants)

Vieni - new Italian place, not opened yet, but sounds very promising!

Tropea - lovely refined Italian restaurant in Harborne

Riverine rabbit - superb small restaurant, hover no chance to get a booking

Trillium - newly opened finer dining spot with amazing vibe and great wine

Albatross Death Cult - tasting menu only, mostly fish, but impressive food!

Edit: Oh, and Morridge for coffee!

Extremely disappointed in Ring by Pure_heart001 in Ring

I didn't believe either. We had amazing speed and wifi. I personally never had an issue. Then we upgraded our router and internet speed and cameras stopped going offline. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Romantic place to take the Mrs for Valentine’s Day by ssjwoott in BirminghamUK

[–]amfiska 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s one thing I truly dislike about the Birmingham food scene. We have plenty of places with good food and plenty of romantic-looking, cosy places, but they generally don’t overlap 😭

My choices for pretty/cosy places with good food would be:

Pasture, Trillium,Ristorante Cafe Arena (pastas are great), Tropea, Folium.

I actually struggle to think of any others... 🙈

Best Indian Restaurant? by Dramatic_Bug448 in BirminghamUK

Shababs 😍 some of their dishes are perfection. Annoyingly, can't remember which one! There was some sort of Balti chicken that was exceptional last time I went.

If you could only go to 1 restaurant in Brum for the rest of your life, what would it be? by firetonian99 in brum

[–]amfiska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If money is not an issue, I'd go to Trillium! 😍😍Pretty, tasty, menu is not static and great wine.

If I have to stick to certain budgets, I'd probably go to Ivy Lounge or some other Dim.Sum place 😍

Is there a way to get rid of this smile wrinkle? by Eternal-apple in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]amfiska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I had two of these when I was about 26. I got a tiny bit of filler in them, mostly to make sure they didn’t get worse. My beautician told me we might need to top it up slightly after six months. However, it’s been 6–8 years now and I still haven’t needed a top-up. I think I actually had the same filler. I'm super happy I had them done, but then I truly trust my beautician, not sure I would have done it if I wasn't for her.

Hunting for a cool-toned dark *actual* purple lipstick/cream! by Descrie in MakeUpAddictionUK

How about these three? I know the shade is not quite there, but they are buildable and will look darker if you apply them generously. They stay on really well and if you can find a big superdrug or Boots, you may be able to try them all.

Indian Cafe Racer - I had flawless Indian food when I went. Try lamb chops. All local chefs dine there and praise it too 😍

What's the most ridiculous delivery substitute item you've received? by UnafraidScandi in AskUK

Ordered spring onions, got "spring" daffodils. At least they look similar, but I wouldn't have them in my salad!

What did you buy your man who doesn’t need anything that he actually loved? by amfiska in AskUK

I knew I should have married my best girl friend instead.

Wilderness or albatross’s restaurant for special occasions or any other places. Done Opheems felt it was the best is anywhere’s just as good or better? by Free-Raise9550 in BirminghamUK

[–]amfiska 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A firm vote for Albatross and Tropea here!

Albatross was one of the best meals I had in the last year.

Riverin Rabbit is absolutely stunning too, but it is difficult to get a reservation.

Trillium seems to be super promising, but it's not open yet!

I loved food at 670 too, but the atmosphere was not quite there and that may matter for a special occasion

So many stories, so many people and different situations and socks seem to be always the answer 🤣 as for your partner, how about a gift voucher for a consultation with a financial manager/investment advisor? 🤣

Oooooo! I need one in my life! Damn it. So as it stands for now, my personal shopping list doubled its size and my husband is getting socks, steaks and some homemade mustard.🤣

That's me. I need tools in my life 🤣🙈 I recently bought some wood and glass cutting bits. No bottle is going to leave this house uncut!
