Al-Omda: Reviews & Ratings
Ordered platter for 2 on Uber Eats. Wallahi I was blown away with 1 bite of the shawarma. By far the best middle eastern restaurant in Birmingham. Cooked to perfection, moist, chunks of meat, succulent flavour. My new eatery. This is an authentic middle eastern cuisine Allahumma Barik.
Such an amazing gem of a restaurant. The best and most humblest owner and host, made us feel so welcome - he especially showed incredible care to my 1 year old. On to the food, everything looked and tasted AMAZING! The salad was TOP notch and the meat was SOOOO succulent and mouth watering. The sauces were SPECIALLY amazing, much much better than any we get elsewhere - owner makes it himself! If we were local to the restaurant we’d be there ALL the time.
Absolutely delicious food and the best service. The owner is incredibly kind and generous. He went above and beyond for us. You won’t be disappointed
This place is now Qassioun Shaworma. Such an amazing experience, food was delicious and the staff were lovely, really kind and generous. Highly recommend this place for authentic Syrian food, really can’t fault it! Will be coming here again many times in the future
Amazing food, so flavourful, not like anything I've tasted before in Birmingham, real authentic Egyptian food. Customer service is also top notch. We went as a family of 6 and we all loved it. My daughter branded it as her new favourite restaurant in Birmingham. We took the falafel as a starter and the family platter as a main. Generous portions and so filling.
