The Syrian House Restaurant, located in the heart of Birmingham, serves as a culinary gateway to Syria. Reviewers consistently praise its mouth-watering dishes and authentic flavors, especially the highly acclaimed lamb mandi—grilled to perfection and extremely tender, indicated by Mubin Ahmed's perfect score on food quality. Patrons have commented on the luxurious taste of the restaurant's signature sauce, further enhancing the dining experience.

The platter for five is another highlight, allowing families to indulge in a variety of fresh, well-seasoned meats alongside complimentary sides like hummus and babaganoush. Ishtiaq Azad's recommendation speaks volumes about the generous portion sizes and the delightful taste that makes this restaurant a must-visit.

While some users noted that service could benefit from minor improvements, the personal touch from staff members—a friendly ambiance reminiscent of an Arabic home—more than compensates for this. Ismail J. beautifully described the warm atmosphere and friendly service, noting that it felt like dining at home, crafted by a mother’s loving hand.

For an enriching meal that embodies authenticity and flavor, the Syrian House Restaurant is undoubtedly a treasure trove worth exploring.

Reviews For Syrian House Restaurant

Mubin Ahmed

The Syrian House Restaurant Food: 5/5 The lamb mandi from the grill was a standout - prepared really well and incredibly tender although the grill was great too. The flavors were rich and satisfying. Their signature sauce was extremely tasty. Service: 4/5 Service could use improvement, as our request for tap water was overlooked several times. However, the personal touch from the owner or the manager, who checked in to ensure we were enjoying our meal, added a positive note to the overall experience. Atmosphere: 4/5 The ambiance is warm and inviting, providing an authentic experience reminiscent of being in an Arab country. While it may not have the upscale feel of a high-end establishment, it offers a cozy and charming atmosphere.

Came here with the family after visiting the Coventry Road Small Heath branch and both did not disappoint. We order the Platter for 5 and it is cooked fresh and served within roughly 15 minutes along with complimentary salad, and bread with humous and babaganoush. The meat is perfectly cooked, not dry and it's seasoned well. The rice is much better than most places and the portion size overall is really sufficient. Would definitely recommend either branch to go to. The service was really friendly and hospitable and we were given free tea at the end of our meal. Would definitely recommend!

What can I say. This place simply brought joy to my heart and stomach. The food was so delicious it felt like I was at home eating a meal made by my mother. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the decor really felt like I was in Syria, the chairs the lights. What made my day was the Staff, as you can see they are incredibly friendly and made sure I was happy and welcomed there. What more can you ask for, good food, good atmosphere and great service. All in all a wonderful place to watch with friends and family.

On a trip from Manchester to London, decided to stop in Birmingham to eat and found Syrian House. Ordered a mix platter with rice - enough for 5. Came with delicious rice, succulent lamb shank, chicken kebab - all well cooked and filling. Great service all round but keep in mind it is cash only, will definitely come back!

This place is always a win! Very friendly service (we've been coming here a while now, and one of the waiters recognises us)! Food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are generous! Prices are great too! We tend to spend around 10-15 a head and always leave with lunches for the next day! Thanks again, and see you again soon!

Tasty and fresh... nicely cooked food... really liked it. Definitely recommend. Decent sitting area... staff is helpful and courteous... parking is little tricky. Probably next time I am going to try multi person plater. I would appreciate more salad with food... usually similar restaurants are quite generous with sides.
