I don't know Birmingham, but booked this small homely restaurant after reading Tripadvisor. Local friends did not believe that there could be a good restaurant - worth the 10 min taxi from the city centre - in a boring shopping parade in Selly Oak. Thankfully they were wrong. It's unprentious, fairly basic bistro style, but with a warm welcome and... More

Although we live locally have never eaten here before but have meant to for a long time. This first visit, and there will be many others, was fantastic. The restaurant is quite small which, I think helps the atmosphere. The food is well presented and good value, a meal of similar high quality would cost a great deal more in... More

I booked this restaurant on the strength of the reviews in TripAdvisor for a meal with friends in March 2013 and was sorely dissapointed with the food and service. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, the starters took a long time to arrive (more than half an hour) for two salads and a soup. The salads should have been a... More

Dear Soggypicnic, Thank you for taking the time to write a review; at Bohemia we work hard to keep a high standard, as you can see from most of the other reviews. In your case it sounds like this standard slipped and we are keen to put this right. Obviously, if problems are flagged during the meal we can rectify... More

I so wanted to give this restaurant a higher rating but unfortunately my meal and experience just didn't live up to the high expectations other diners on tripadvisor experienced. On arrival, the restaurant is on a quiet corner in an area that is fairly grotty looking. Firstly, I was the first person to arrive at the restaurant and the first... More

From the booking with Andrew to the eating of the food, it was a brilliant experience. Really well cooked food and fantastic wine. Great but unobtrusive staff, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely eat there again.

My husband and I loved this place, the food was exceptional, the staff were lovely and the restaurant is pleasant. We would suggest some salt and pepper on the table though.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, which is usually a recipe for disaster as our expectations were already quite high,but we certainly weren't disappointed. We had three courses and every course was cooked to perfection, together with a bottle of wine we paid £63.50 which we thought was excellent value for money.The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed...

This restaurant is probably one you would not notice from the outside, but its rustic charm and superb food make a visit a must. We have been with friends a number of times and the unusual choices on the menu, which change often, mean we have always had something different. If they have leeks with peas as a vegetable option...
