Reviews of Ziryab Executive Buffet
H. Z.
I visited Ziryab Buffet Last weekend. First impressions was very good warm welcoming atmosphere. They take Cash & Card payment both. I am giving them 4 Star just because of their hospitality, Good Variety of Dishes, Good Starters & main Courses. Most of people’s like their food because it too mild. If you spicy then do tell the chef to put some green chillies for You. Overall Good Food, Family Environment & welcoming staff.
s. o. t. s.
I came here for breakfast and loved the experience. It's worth the price of £10 with a good variety of South Asian and British breakfast dishes. The hosts/welcoming staff were so sweet and went out of their way to make us feel welcome in the space. The desi food was authentic and the chai was the cherry on top. Family friendly, and if you like South Asian food, come this way!
A. A.
They have recently started breakfast buffet on the weekends for £10 per adult, which I found to be fairly reasonable. There is not a lot of variety like their dinner but everything is well made and the spice is perfect where it’s flavorful and not too hot.
The halwa poori and the nihari was my favorite. I also tried lassi saag which I throughly enjoyed. I would recommend them to include kulchas with the nihari.
The people were very friendly on my visit and we liked the ambiance since the hall was not fully packed. Will definitely visit again.
S. B.
The desserts were not upto the mark.Rest Chicken biryani and Pilau rice was quite good .The noodles ,main course was fine but taste and quality could be improved.Overall it was ok.

Visited this buffet in Birmingham tonight with my family.
First impression very nice. They only take cash payment, so make sure you bring your cash with you, if not... don't worry, they have a free withdrawal cash machine on site. Just don't forget your card.
Prices are £18 for adults and £12 for kids aged 4 to 12.
Place was not very busy, which is great as less noise, you can enjoy your food. I have to say, food was fabulous. I have eaten from here before, but wasn't so great back then, but allot has changed since then.
Hygiene is 4☆, as you can see from pictures very well maintained and clean.
Unfortunately it closes at 11pm, because they were not so busy, they started closing at 10.30 which was not good as we had recently just started our main course.
All in all, fantastic night out, family enjoyed there time which is more then you can ask for. Will definitely recommend to everyone who haven't been yet.
A. K.
Good selection of food and most were kept warm. Some food areas were messy and I felt the flow of people wasn't managed well despite social distancing rules. Price is fair but tables were quite closely packed together and there were several young children left wild to run all around the place, which is probably more of a reflection of the parents. However, if you're looking for a relaxed dining experience, you won't find it here.
F. &. t. l. R.
Typical Pakistani buffet with lots of starters and main dishes(mainly Indian and Pakistani cuisines ). The varieties were huge.
The price of 20£ seems ok for the 150 varieties of dishes and unlimited soft drinks
It was more like marriage feast rather than a hotel in the way things are arranged.
Although it tasted good I had reduce a star for the below reasons
1. Too much oil in all dishes
2. The dessert like gulab jamun n kajur alwa were extreme sweet and ice creams has too much colours in it
3. Vegetarian options were very less
And finally
4. The refilling were not quick enough and even if they refilled it was only for non-veg varieties
I. M.
This is the second time I have been here. The food is amazing - so much variety and so much taste. Mouth-wateringly good, I would definitely recommend and visit again. Took my partner, Graham, as it was his birthday. Wasn’t sure how he’d feel about it. Suffice to say, he loved it and ate till he could eat no more. Great prices and something to please even the fussiest of eaters. Two very happy customers 🤗

Went to Ziryab's with my family this evening. We had a spectacular time as always. From the moment you step in, you are greeted so pleasantly. The mannerism, food and atmosphere is always at a high standard. You can't go wrong. The starter to dessert - everything was so delicious. I highly recommend you visit - whether it's for a special occasion or simply an enjoyable meal. Best buffet in Birmingham.
T. R.
Was recommended to go there by my Father in law who is a big foodie. At first was a bit hesitant travelling from Bradford to there. I have to say it was worth it all the way the selection of food is amazing. The quality of food was out of this world. The customer service level for a buffet was unbelievable never felt pressured into hurrying up. The price was excellent which included drinks that was a shock. I have to say Ziryab is a Executive Buffet.
I will be returning in Sha Allah with the rest of the family very soon!!!!!
A. M.
Been visiting here for a number of years now with family. The environment is friendly, food is good value for money, having been in the food business myself in the past, I must say they definitely are doing well with the large volumes of people they have to cater for and the tonnes of food they prepare on a weekly basis. Keep the good work up guys, well done
T. K.
Nice venue, good ambience, vast variety of dishes. However could improve on taste a bit for few menu items, like kebabs. Could do more on sweets, especially mithai should be covered. Chinese items were good. Staff was cooperative. Recommend with family.
I. K.
Amazing experience, at Ziryab, travelled all the way from west London as I’ve heard raving reviews! Food was very good in terms of quality and quantity, will certainly bring my family again, oh and not to forget that drinks are included in the price which is normally where you get caught out… highly recommended.
A. Z.
The Best buffet I have ever been to in UK. The best chops and live Chinese is the best part... 1000 times better than Royal nawab.
Visited Ziryab with family from Southampton just to enjoy the perfect variety of food in very reasonable price. Definitely worth trying it. 100% recommended..

Yesterday, my family and I (around 40 people in total) arranged a surprise birthday party for my wife.
I had booked a table online a month earlier and were happy that the table had indeed been booked and prepared in advance which is great to see.
My Mum, sisters and friend arrived earlier to set up the table with balloons and decorations. However, when they got to Ziryab's - they were told than they would not be allowed in until at least 30 out of the 40 people had turned up. This, of course, was not helpful at all and very unrealistic.
Because of this, my friend complained (rather vigorously) to the staff and in the end, they were allowed in - thank God - but Ziryab should not have this rule about waiting for most of the party to attend as it can ruin the element of surprise in some cases.
Once the initial drama was dealt with, the table was indeed set up with balloons and decorations. They were also kind enough to hide my wife's fabulous birthday cake too - which my nieces had made.
The service after this early incident was good.
Once my wife arrived, she got the shock of her life seeing her whole family there - and the Ziryab staff did help to create this surprise by NOT mentioning the other guests when my wife, sons and I actually arrived.
From this point, the food was good especially the chicken drumsticks, keema, noodles, salads and much more.
The desserts were plentiful too with my favourites being: Chocolate Barfi, Patheesa, Rasmalai, Gulaab Jaamun with Ice Cream and the elegant fluffy mousses.
Towards the end of the evening, the massive cake was brought out and my wife had her second surprise of the evening - it was a great evening, maasha Allah.
I would ask Ziryab to reconsider one or two of their entrance and seating policies. I also think that the car park is unbelievably small considering the size of the restaurant.
Apart from that issue at the beginning, we thank Ziryab for a great night and great food as we created some great memories x
A. E.
I loved every aspect. We were welcomed really nicely and it took no more than 5 minutes to be seated. There was a wide variety of food and trust me when I say this you will not leave with an empty stomach. The employees were very sweet and helped out with any questions. I would defs recommend this to people out there who don’t know what they want to eat or even those who know what they want because who says no to buffet :)
R. J.
Large variety of Pakistani and Indian Kitchen very large space staff was really nice, it is buffet so you can teast a lot of different foods soft drink are also included in the price .. only we missed is Tea or coffee ... when we visited they wasn't accepting any card payments Only Cash so we have to withdraw first
H. K. S.
Great food and service. A lot of variety of Indian starters and mains but some of the curries had a little bit too much oil so leaving 4 stars. Italian and Chinese food is also available at the buffet and a nice choice of Indian and English desserts.
The floor manager was very friendly.
J. S.
Lovely food, they take care of their customers, even customers with allergies, they know exactly what foods contain what allergens to make sure customers are safe. The customer service is amazing, and in particularly one lovely lady, ‘the floor manager’ who makes sure we’re comfortable and looked after, everytime we come. Favourite restaurant in Birmingham.
They have gluten free options.
M. A.
Great place, re fill drinks very syrupy but overall great place for food
O. A.
Very impressed with this place.
Definitely recommend to others.
Just like any restuarant rush hours can be difficult but all in all what a great venue.
We ate till we couldn't eat no more.
Easy parking,we went as a group of 30,wheelchair access,kids high chairs,excellent seating,great lamb chops,cash only but they have a cash machine right next to the counter on your way in.havent got round to trying the breakfast buffet but it's definitely on the do list.
H. K.
Been coming to Ziriyabs for a good couple of years now. By far our favourite buffet restaurant, never fails to satisfy our bellies! Lovely food, lovely staffs! Can’t wait to try out the breakfast menu soon.
s. s.
We dined there tonight and the food was excellent as was the service. A great place to take the family too and thank you to the young man who greeted us when we arrived and took a family photo when we left. Would highly recommend this establishment.
M. K.
Outstanding restaurant for family & friends. Faultless service. The management truly cares about your experience & takes your feedback really seriously. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in our mouths. Absolutely the best buffet we have been too. Drinks are unlimited & parking is free can get busy at times but the parking attendant is so helpful & accommodating.
s. n.
Floor Management is amazing and friendly & her customer service and the customer service as a whole from staff are bang on .5 stars to all x Poppy was another lovely member of staff who reassured a family member who was reluctant to ask if the deserts contained nuts due to their allergy. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was OK and really cared and I really appreciated it xfood is delicious ,different variety to choose from and cooked with passion x
Overall I would definitely recommend 👌
M. M.
Brilliant place for selection of Pakistani food
S. S.
This place is your average get to go grub, meeting friends or family typical curries and Indian/Pakistani food. They only provide paper glasses for refilling drinks.
Hygiene standards need to be improved and more staff required at the serving stations as too much waiting around otherwise. Get there early to get a parking space and avoid the total chaos after 7pm especially if you have young kids I wouldn't recommend this please.
S. P. K. (.
Great service by a young lady called Shorty. She made me and my friends feel welcome. Seated us where we felt comfortable also asked us if we needed anything. If your reading this keep up the good work. About the food it was average.
A. F.
Lovely fresh food approx 150 items, all taste of indian, Pakistanis, Chinese, Italian dishes. Varieties of items from started to main course, salads bar b que, curry's and side dishes. Fill as many times from starter, drink, main course till the desserts. Staff is also very helpful. We went without booking but also got accommodated by helpful staff.
A. Z.
Went here for a works party. It was food heaven, the buffet was so clean considering the volume of customers going in & out, the food was topped up and any shortages were addressed so quickly by the management who were so considerate and really helpful with special requests for those who are wheel chair users, they made us feel so comfortable. All the dishes were piping hot and really delicious, desserts were also yummy & the staff were so hands on replacing the trays constantly. The restaurant is also really generous in space so it didn’t feel cramped whatsoever. Perfect for parties I’d go again for sure.
J. e.
Good food
Buffet including soft drinks and desserts.
Good selection of eats.
Staff were nice and helpful
They have parking
It can get busy at peak times.
A family restaurant lots of kids. Food for thought for some perhaps
Food was lovely at a reasonable price per head.
I would go again so well worth a visit
M. 1.
Food was average, chicken was too salty and peri peri chicken brought back to table looked undercooked so didn't eat. Otherwise starters were average, kids enjoyed the pizza's, we could have gone to a pizza place for fraction of the price
Was in a group of 9 plus baby. Travelling nearly 2 hours for average food is no no for me
R. X.
Good hot food that you can tell is fresh, but the environment and the vibes are terrible. Wish it was nicer inside with proper glasses on nice looking tables and chairs and better dress code which would make it more comfortable and relaxing to sit in. Furniture and vibes made the dining area seem as it was like a take away we was sitting at. But other than the environment, as I said, food was really good 👌👌👌
n. b.
An absolute amazing experience. Breakfast had a fantastic variety of both English and desi food for both adults and children. Service was spot on, place was nice and clean too! The icing on the cake was when I requested brown sauce and even though they had non in the restaurant, a bottle of hp brown sauce was specially bought from the shop.
100/100. Thank you Ziryabs.
u. i.
Excellent service. Very polite and making sure we were ok. Was their first day doing breakfast so a little limited but looks promising as they are looking to add things. A pleasant experience and the kids enjoyed it!
A. S.
This place has a good environment for a family or individual, whether it’s a get together or a special occasion. Brilliant food and awesome service.

B. A.
Came especially for the buffet breakfast and was not disappointed with the variety and quality of both English and desi food that was available. We came as a family with young children and felt very welcomed and the customer service was outstanding. Would highly recommend coming back here again.

Lovely food lovely staff deserts to die for

We travelled from Leicester last Friday to eat here and weren't disappointed. Favourite starters were the Chapli and Sheekh kebab. For the mains, I enjoyed the fish handi and pulao. Big selection of dal, tasty chops, nice fresh dips gorgeous cucumber raita. I haven't been to a buffet that do gol gappa before so that was great. Staff were very accommodating and down to earth, food was being replenished regularly. One of the senior managers, could have even been the owner bent down to pick up a chip from the floor, they care about their business. Love the coriander, lime and crispy onions in front of the nihari/haleem stand. Nice touch. As for those criticising the ambience, what can you expect from a buffet restaurant and its clientele... but its all part of the experience. We loved it and will be back. Thank you very much to the team at Ziryab, keep doing what you're doing and keep smiling, you are greatly appreciated. However... please note the gulab jamun are way too small, even though that too made me laugh.

This place is gone dead compared to when it first opened. Used to love the lamb chops they just ain't the same anymore. Also sheesh kebabs were hard as a rock. The chicken tikka curry was nice best thing on the menu on Monday night.
A. H.
Had a wonderful time, well worth the trek to Birmingham!! Amazing food and amazing staff!!
All dishes tasted different and to be honest your taste buds will take a beating! Well worth it!
A. C.
Newly discovered place for our mid journey stop over from South to North.. must say did not disappoint.
Many vierty everything I tasted was delicious..
N. S.
The entry to the restaurant was Good, fast welcoming. Staff seated us quickly and happy to help to take our picture.
Attentive staff cleared table and offered napkins. Staff checked in regularly and was very friendly and welcoming.
T. M.
Samreen, the floor manager’s service was excellent. She went the extra mile with the dessert, made us feel really welcome and very friendly. God bless her.
M. U.
Awsome paye in addition to regular buffet items
S. K. T.
Food is good especially the non veg items are tasty , however I feel that some of the menu was missing and not being refilled when they ran out... Else it would have been very good
S.
The food served here is fresh. The lamb chops were amazing and the variety of dishes available is perfect.
My 3rd visit here and doesn't disappoint each time.
A. R.
Extensive variety of dishes to choose from, including a small selection of live cooking stations.
Staff were generally friendly and attentive.
Food was of a good standard, both in choice and quality with stations being topped up frequently.
Sufficient parking available, and the restaurant gets very busy throughout the evening!
My only criticism would be that no other drinks than the self serve soft drinks were available.
Overall, an excellent place to dine, both in quality and quantity.
M. A.
I visited here for dinner with family, 28 of us we were seated within 20 mins!! We were delighted by the authentic variety of dishes English, Indian, Italian and Chinese!! The spices and flavors were extremely impressive there was plenty of choice for those of us that are vegetarian as well. Considering we turned up unannounced and there was loads of us the service was well above average. I would call this a hidden gem, would go again anytime.
S. K.
First time visiting here, parking is available and there's a steward to help you out. You pay at the front and are seated. There are lots of different food options but I found the starters to be very salty. The mains were ok and the desserts were also ok. You get unlimited soft drinks included in the price. I probably wouldn't visit again but it's worth a try.
J. C. S. W.
Went in Thursday night. Found the food good quality. Loved the wedges. Cod fish pakora. Fried chicken was tasty too.
Freshness was there.

This place set the standard for buffet restaurants. The food was fantastic and no matter what I had I was impressed by the quality! Staff was also great, efficient, happy and polite. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat to their fill.
M. A.
Great, really ❣ 💕 💖 ❤️ it! Mostly I don’t like buffet but it’s truly good not only food prices are very reasonable. I don’t think they required any feedback but for your satisfaction I would recommend this place because you’re reading this.
Me with few friends traveled long way to check this place/their food and we found very good starters, 🥗 salad, sauces, Pakistani/Indian food (curry)+ some Chinese and obviously 🍨dessert 🧁 and drinks.
PARKING=there’s big car parking but mostly full
Entrance= Disable -yes
Waiting area= nice and big
Table= staff will show you also guides you
Service = wonderful
Clearing tables= very fast
Food = fresh and tasty 😋
One thing before you start go for big round as i miss plenty things to try specially soup and noodle 🤣
Thank you please click on 👍 for others
M. K.
Always lovely eating from here top service and staff. Definitely recommend all food is good quality
A. J.
Heaven for meat lovers...so many food counters that you need whole day and stomach size of Mark Weins ;)..
Most of the BBQ is prepared infront of you, as fresh as you can get.
Variety of food is huge from BBQ (seekh kababs, ribs, tikka boti etc) to gravies to different kind of rice, roti (naan).
Some respite for vegetarians as there are dishes for them but I saw few people going to far end of the food counter.
Huge seating capacity with 2 big halls, We didn't have to wait very long for us to be seated ( 5 to 7 minutes).
Once seated you can eat at your own pace. I personally like buffets as with young family you don't need to worry about what to order!
Tables were cleared quickly of used cutlery.
Toilets were clean but with huge seating capacity should have more toilets to accomadate busy times (specially at weekend).
Parking space is huge as well plus there is an overflow car park which is at a walking distance.
All in all a good buffet restaurant for south asian food with good service, great ambiance and brilliant food.
F. K.
Visited from Bradford today. Superb fresh and delicious food - lamb chops & Paya in particular were amazing. Excellent service by all staff and a great atmosphere. Will be going back soon. Thank you.
U. F.
This is my absolute favourite buffet restaurant in the West Midlands, hands down would recommend it. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I go for I am always delighted with the quality! Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite as are the waiters. Can’t wait to return!!
P. E.
Came on 23rd December with party of 12 at 6.30pm and given seating within 5 minutes. Lots of variety of Pakistani traditional dishes, fresh Chinese station, and abundance of salads and dips. Dessert station also had a wide variety of choice. Also pizza and lasagne/pasta. Everything wa delicious and service from all staff was excellent. Deffo 5 stars
I. G. S.
This place is awesome.. atmosphere and customer service is exceptional... The manager Sam was so welcoming and helpful.
This place is recommended highly
A. A.
Taste was too good but sitting area was not good it was so hot from inside no fans or any exhaust system, we could not enjoy because my son was feeling hot and he didnt eat any thing... it was too black inside, but taste was amazing only prefer to visit in winter, i will never go in hot season again 😊😊 that is only my opinion may be any other will like that hot and suffocated environment .😎😎
R.
Had dinner here for the 1st time.
The young boy at the sweet stall took to my heart, he had cochlear implants which my 2 nieces also have.
He served us beautifully and made my neice feel very happy who just stared at him. Lol
My family loved it very much. Food was great and highly recommend this place
J. J.
I must say best food in any other restaurants. Love the curry lamb everything. Well done.
I. R.
Have been to Ziryab a few times and food is always good. Food tastes fresh and is hot. There are vast options to choose from and we are usually happy when we visit.
N. M.
Delicious. I had no complaint of any of the food or drinks there. Absolutely delicious.. i went 3 times in a week!!
Staff and service is the best! Lovely people and very helpful
H. S.
Nice Halal Buffet. Very organised and also very cheap. Not too fancy though so if you might be going for a nice fancy experience then it might not be the place.
R. T.
Fabulous food and so well presented & hygienic, thank you to all the lovely staff who looked after us. So many different cuisines!! Quality was top notch with food was hot and so flavoursome, the children loved it and the dessert counter is not to be missed!!!
M. G.
Lovely food.... As always. The hall was extremely cold. You could see the staff who direct you to the table were shivering. Otherwise it would be 5 star review
S. A.
These guys are the godfathers of buffets. Everything was well beyond my expectations the customer service, the hosts, the starters, mains, desserts even the salad and condiments counter. Everything is so fresh. The service was fast and friendly and there was no compromise on quality.
F. T.
Good parking space next to the restaurant butv you have to go early because it can get very busy and full.
Lots of variety of food, a bit too much!! You want to eat everything but can't! From starters to mains, curries, italian and Chinese. It's very expensive hence you want to try everything to make your money's worth!
Lovely desserts too. Nice evening out
M. K.
Delicious food.
Great service from the floor manager.
It's the 30th or 40th time me coming.
Would recommend 100%
F. d.
Went for my son's 18th birthday, it wasn't too busy and staff were helpful and friendly, especially sambreen.
Thank you Sambreen for making it a memorable day.
Some of the food is really nice and fresh, currys ...not so good, the chicken has dried up in some of them.
Overall good for a big group and there is something everyone will like.
b. m.
Came with family and children and absolutely loved the atmosphere friendly staff plenty of places to sit comfortably and a variety of different foods.

Great hot fresh food, lots of varieties. Really impressed by one staff member Sam who helped us and made us feel welcome. Thanks for everything.
U. Z.
Very nice food, atmosphere is great. Highly recommend
J. A.
Food was good for a buffet but nothing special stood out. Seating is too cramped and feels like your dining with other customers and staff are miserable and are not afraid to show it. Parking is terrible.
O. S.
Been to Ziryab Buffer few times in the past and have been amazing, however went yesterday with a friend and the main course was hit and miss, chicken jalfrezi was under cooked and the rice was cold sadly 😥. The starters and dessert was ace! So next time I go I'll have more starter instead 🙂 For Birmingham this is good as it gets 👌 Is it worth £18..? Nah..! I don't care what people say but food in London is generally better . Don't know why, but it is.
H. M.
Brilliant service, Couldnt ask for more, Made sure we had everything we needed, Very polite and even brought out a Cake for the birthday!! Will be going again
M. K.
After my eldest son and niece were born we had our big family meal at Tipu Sultan and this time for my second son Zavian Yusuf, my dad wanted to try Ziryab.
We tried to boom beforehand as there was 11 of us but were told they don’t take bookings, only to arrive and request for a nice corner table but apparently it was reserved to which I questioned them as they said they don’t take reservations, the reason I’m giving them 4 stars.
We started queuing for our food and there was quite a long queue which was expected as the restaurant was quite big and full. The buffet selection was vast - from the starters to the mains - indian , Chinese Italian and desserts were good too.
The food itself was 8/10 for taste and quality for a buffet place but too much food to try in one day. The soft drinks were also part of the price which is better than other buffet places and at £15 per adult it wasn’t too bad, although I thought £8 for a 4 year old was a bit steep.
At the end of the night, it was an enjoyable family outing and very stuffing too.
R. J.
We visited Ziryab Buffet yesterday evening with all my family members. We loved it, especially the kids. Amazing food and staff. Thank you.
M. V.
Visited this place yesterday, lots of dishes, great food variety, with tasty dishes the reason I have given three star, as, there was lack of cleanliness,we have to search the clean plates and spoons The staff was nice and polite.
I. S.
Beautiful breakfast. What made it extraordinary was the service provided - fresh food prepared and brought to our table. Went above & beyond for our immobile mother
z. k.
Booked it for my daughters first birthday, everything was top notch, only 1 disappointment was the way they have there grilled lamb chops hidden out of sight and when you do finally see them and ask the guy to give you some, he acts like he is giving a part of his own body away. Other then that everything else is top notch as I said.
A. Y.
We have been here many many times and we always have excellent experience coming here.
Brilliant quality and quantity of food
Very well managed and mannered staff.
B. M.
Excilent brilliant service very good food excellent and Sam was very very helpful gn her always this the birthday party for my fathers 80th 👍👍👍👍definitely recommend it
S. M.
Nice place for a buffet and with lovely food and atmosphere. The place has so much selections.
D. W. A.
A good place to get a Buffet. Main course is good enough. Apart from gajar halwa, other sweet dishes need improvement.
Z. M.
Lovely place to go and the food is banging and not that expensive. Definitely one of my favourite places to go.. Definitely would recommend everyone to try it out..
M. p.
Lovely food, was abit underwhelmed with the variety of food they had. Good choice of indian cuisine, but not much Italian or Chinese as it states they have. But i would return for the Indian food and the salad/pasta bar.
u. T.
Kids friendly
Staff is really good
Really beutiful decorations.
Food was perfect but only i didn’t like the dessert,
Dessert was too deshi.
Loved that place
S. T.
The food was freshly made, staff were friendly and a nice family environment 😊

Good selection of starters and mains. Excellent chops and nihari. Nice venue but you do feel packed in with very little space between tables.
R. A.
Samreeen has been very helpful and polite with fabulous customer service along with the nice delicious food. So many varieties to chose from spoilt for choice. 2nd visit will definitely be back again. Raz

visited with family today for breakfast. customer service was brilliant - and there was a fair variety of breakfast available for the whole family, including the little children.
thank you for your hospitality!

Lovely food. Sam was lovely. Very friendly. My kids absolutely loved her! Definitely recommend. I will be coming back on Sunday for the breakfast 😊

Okay food, not sure why its called ‘Executive’ buffet. Apart from couple of items most food tasted average. Seating area is nice, price is good. Service was ok. Do try their namkeen gosht and kheer from deserts menu.
s. h.
Great food. Excellent selection. Perfect for a family day out.

A little too pricy for the neighborhood. Offers variety and good choice. If you only eat a dish or two, then not worth for the money.
Parking can be a nightmare. Eating hall is a bit tight with space and give a stuffy feel.
R. N.
Always a pleasure , the staff are amazing they always look after everyone and go out their way for us everytime, not to mention the food is so good we are here every other day MashAllah , highly recommend esp for groups.
X. H.
Really nice service and enjoyed the food, the nice lady who was clearing our table was MashAllah really helpful. Definitely coming back.

First time Coming here and would definitely come again very friendly and welcoming staff and the food is excellent ☺️

I live 100s of miles from this place, but happily drove down many times pre-Covid. Absolutely the greatest buffet ever. Tons of dishes including things like burgers and beans, tons of desserts (the tiramisu is the best ever) and free unlimited drink refills. What more can I say? If I could give it 100 stars I would.
Parking is limited but there is a manned free car park literally 1-minute walk away. Prices were £15 a head when we first went, but I think they were £17 last time - still worth it in my opinion. Oh, and there's also a cash machine inside. Friendly staff, great food, clean and a great ambience.
Highly, highly recommended and a must-visit.
M. A.
Reasonable buffet if you want decent South Asian food. Drinks and desert are included. Only downside is that they didn't have fish pakoras.
A. B.
We have trully enjoyed our time at Ziryab...the food was lovely and as you can see pictured/screenshot from videos,plenty of options for every single one of us ,big and small,muslim and non muslim,spice lover and none spice lover.
The staff were amazing....they literally gave the start to my son's happy birthday song, with the lively "hip hip hooray "and all ...My son was over the moon 🥰...Thank you.....
P.s.If you find a small "Hafsa TuQ spoon,save it please,we are coming back 😬🥰
D. A.
~ £20 price but includes drinks, so it's like £18 really. Very big buffet, lots of choice. However quality-wise I'd recommend skipping the Rasmalai (watery), Paya, Teramisu and sticking to what you know. Karahi gosht - nice, starters - excellent (except chicken wings). Use your tummy wisely and get the good bits. Weekend prices on bank holidays.
R. J.
Very tasty and fresh food. Alas it was nearly empty when we visited because of virus Pandemic situation however still some people bravely came to dinner. The staff was really attentive and appreciative and made sure we enjoyed dinner and made freshly items for us to enjoy. I sure will be coming soon to this great place and enjoy the usual hustle and bustle.
k. r.
Perfect for large family gatherings, I wouldn't not say food is wow, but it's good, depending on what u fancy
Veg options like salads are good. Meat is medium, sometimes u get good flavours but sometimes its 50/50
Chinies / pasta is not made as Chinies dish but a desi style so if u are looking for Chinese style food then it might not be right. But good if u after desi twist
S. I.
Brilliant service, great food, will definitely be returning! Highly recommended. Breakfast available too!

I went on weekend the most busiest time, we had to wait nearly half an hr to be seated; was the two of us.
The variety of the food is huge, very asian Pakistani, from Haleem, halwa purri to bog standard curries. Also a condiment bar, and a salad bar with unlimited drinks. I have to say the food does taste authentic and with huge turnover it's always fresh. There were multiple chefs there attending to own stations. There were some noodle offerings and a place for children, including burgers, fries, and nuggets.Massive array of desserts, and very asian which was impressive; but also individual desserts, ice cream as well some other western looking things. The food was slightly saltier than I would have (supposedly I eat salty) and curries weren't too hot, quite tolerable. They had a large number of staff always making sure the venue was clean and tables being cleared, it was always clean. They had one guy with a head set constant communication with rest of the place, he seemed to he doing a very good job.
The whole time I was there, (nearly 2hrs,) it didn't get any less busy. It was heaving and far from fine dining experience. I don't think it's a classy place to eat or the décor is anything attractive, if anything I found it rather strange. However, if you know what you came for, you won't be disappointed at all. The venue is HUGE.
Who is this place for, food lovers, people who are high, huge group of people with multiple palettes. People who have no mobility issues, you need to be mobile or have someone get you food or you will struggle as the venue is huge. Anyone who was released from incarceration,or has been experiencing institutional food may enjoy this place. This is definitely a place for larger group of males to go, they'd really get their monies worth.
Who ISN'T this for, couples looking for romantic time, light eaters, anorexics, the curry hater, racist, edl, Donald Trump. Maybe if you have young children or babies; be warned you're waiting for a while and not sure about table bookings in advance. Anyone who ate last few hrs, (you really need your appetite to make it through the night.) Anyone with food allergies should avoid like plague and anyone with crowd anxiety. You won't be able to discuss business here should you go with that intention.
The experience was great, would I go again, probably not. It was overwhelming, can't help but over eat and then swear never to eat again!!! Something unsavoury about witnessing high levels of gluttony (including my self),but experiencing once was nice. I have recommended it to people who would really enjoy this place. I'd probably stick to the smaller established buffet eatery I normally attend to avoid the problems one can get with huge numbers and less overwhelming. Also make sure you eat with someone same pace as you, to avoid the situation do I wait or "each man for himself".
If you choose to go, I would say bon appetite, you won't be disappointed if all you want is food. You'll go in starving but leave feeling like you'll never eat again! 😊
G.
Superb all the way… no complaints whatsoever.the mutton chops lamb and the fish pakoras are out of this world
s. Z.
A good addition in quality restaurant in Birmingham delicious food and great service prices are bit high for £20 per person . It could be much better if they provide proper glasses for drinks and after food a hot cup of tea or coffee would be great gesture of hospitality after all a good experience with family and friends.
a. q.
Decent food. Very good service. Friendly staff. Payment method needs to be looked at as four if wanted to pay by card individually but this was not possible.
E. H.
Good variety of desi dishes. Drinks are included. Most dishes and desserts were average in taste. Nihari, Lamb kebabs and Lamb chops were good.
A. A.
It was a amazing experience
Food is at point
The best thing about this place is the staff they are really friendly and fulfil all your needs
M. A. R. K.
We had a great time last week.
First time visiting and the food was exceptional.
Price is higher than other places, but personally I prefer it here, and the staff are so lovely expect the lady who showed us our table, she was a total bully either greeted us with smile now was friendly while taking us to the table.
The management needs to take care of this people need some customer care lessons.
We used to go elsewhere when in Birmingham but this will certainly be our go-to from now on!
Ziryab, if you ever open a restaurant in Coventry we will be there all the time 😇
H. A.
amazing service owners are very kind, and we got seated as soon as possible, food is delicious and different variance, highly recommended!
A. C.
A big improvement on the food from last time I visited. Food taste lovely also a wide range of selection on the food!

Great place to eat with plenty of cuisines to choose from, unlimited soft drinks and a good variety of deserts. The staff are helpful.
M. M.
Nice concept tasty food but didn't have any covid measures in place could do with more vegan/vegetarian dishes.
a. m.
Been going to this place for some time now and they are amazing. Food, service and staff are all amazing. Worth the visit
S. S.
Excellent experience. Every item was delicious unlike usual buffets in which most dishes are bland. Great variety too. Could not try everything in one go so will have to visit again to taste them all. Atmosphere was amazing too. Felt like a high end buffet restaurant in Pakistan. Very good table service. Staff kept coming back, collecting empty dishes, asking if we needed anything. Free cold drinks as well. Will return soon!
L.
I went 5 years ago it was very nice food was spot on and everything was clean but i went yesterday with my family and food is still spot on but the toilets were nasty there was no hot water the taps barely worked you would think they would invest in doing up the toilets after a wave of covid..... hand wash was the basic its like they where more concerned about your plate if you finshed so they can take the plates almost felt like your rushed
h. s.
A very spacious restaurant/venue with plenty of seating. Workers were very attentive with clearing away dishes and were doing a fantastic job despite it being very busy. There are around 150 dishes consisting of traditional Pakistani food, English and Chinese. The starters were amazing and the food was generally really nice and of good standard. We paid £20 each on a weekend, this includes unlimited drinks. The drinks selection were decent too, with a nice range to choose from. The dessert selection was also relatively good and had a nice variety. There is a prayer room too, a car park on site and they also take card payments.
N. R.
I visited the place on 31st night and the place was quite crowded mostly with Asian folks which is expected.
Coming to the food spread and quality, the menu was heavily build on Indo Pak traditional dishes (e.g. Chicken Tikka, saag Lamb,Kadaai dishes,some traditional veg starter's and main dishes for vegan also available).Few Chinese dishes are also available which was not up to the mark.
I found the main dishes as repetative in taste and lacks authenticity.Most of the non veg dishes tastes very similar. Even the traditional Haleem with roti tasted bland!!
In desert section ,there are quite a no of Indian Pakistani sweets available. I tried Rasmalai and Sahi Tukda and disappointing again..The Jalebi felt stale and prepared long back!!
So if someone is looking for a large variety of Indo Pak spread with pocket friendly pricetag(15 £ for Adults, free for kids up to 3 yes) it may worth a try but it's not a place where you would visit again and again!!!

The ambience and decor is inline with a lot of nice Asian restaurants. We went there on a Saturday evening and it was absolutely jam packed. Luckily we had booked a table as there were literally over 50 people waiting before us as we arrived. The buffet is good, a very wide selection of dishes (all on point).. amazing food. What let's this place down is the lack of space! It's too congested and you cant hear your own conversations as you're next literally a foot away from the other table. Advice, make sure you book before and go with a big appetite.
s. y.
I came to Ziryab with family after 2 years for my ٪ 13th birthday nothing changed except the price atmosphere brilliant, service excellent, food ok not worth paying £20 for adults and £10 children parking g manic especially Weekend
k. G.
Isn't a cost worthy place. Value for money. Food is not Soo good. But they provide too many recipes in their menu.

We got in by 5.30pm.
W. Y.
Been visiting since they opened. Love it. Great food and all.
U. P.
4/5 no questions asked. Prices were decently cheap and well worth every penny. We were seated about 1 minute after entering the buffet and the scenery was excellent. The food was amazing especially the masala fish. Staff were very kind and one staff member even took a photo for me. I would say desserts are the weak point in this buffet. They have a decent amount of dessert but I feel like they could have chose a better variety, but they still tasted pretty nice. I would highly recommend you visit this place.

MUST TRY
food- 9/10 hands down best reasonably priced buffet food there in in Birmingham so far. The taste is good sometimes a little spicy but the kick is nice furthermore, the quality is up to scratch ( must try lamb chops)
drinks- Very good system of self service apart from glasses being a little small its good.
Wide range of drinks from coke to fanta
staff- staff are kind, welcoming and funny making sarcastic jokes
staff look professional and well looked after. ( they let me charge my DSLR)
venue- The venue is very large in size there is chance u may get lost
good decor family friendly and nice.
There is a stage which looks like a wedding stage which is nice to sit in make sure u book in advance.
In conclusion it is a must try in Birmingham, it gets the Birmingham cars approval..
H. K.

M. S. B.
Food standards and presentation has improved massively, seating area is still the same which may need attention, stir fry is one of the best dishes, very authentic and 100% geniune chineese recipe by a chinnese chef, all rounded buffet you may find Zariyab better than the others in Birmingham
T. A.
Went to Ziryab for the first time this weekend- was pleasantly surprised at the selection available for the buffet! Great variety of starters and mains- I tried most of the food and some was tasty and others okay and the Chinese selection was poor.
I have to mention however, some of the staff were very unprofessional. A couple of the male waiters were very good as they took plates immediately and were working. A couple of the female waitresses were linking arms, giggling and hardly doing anything- infact one of the waitresses kept walking up and down and did not clear any customers plates the whole time we were at the restaurant. I feel that staff need to be more professional.
A. A.
Excellent service but focus in fresh food plz specially on chops otherwise very good visit will come again n again 👍
S. S.
Always an enjoyable meal and experience when visiting Ziryab. Great variety of food and at great value for money

All I can say is I wish I had 2 stomachs. Firstly, the parking there is easy, even at peak times there's always space and a steward to help you. The service is excellent and organised. You can pay card or cash. £20 for adults. There's always someone around to ask for anything you need and the servers are always clearing plates, so your table is never messy. There's another server going around the buffet always checking that the chafing dishes are full. The buffet itself is very rich and fresh with lots of variety. Truthfully, the food is super tasty and has that umami flavour that it makes you want to eat more and more. The chefs are authentic home cooks and that's reflected in how good the food is. Curries, rice, and lamb chops all A grade. On the oriental station is an authentic Asian cook, with the best noodles. The desserts range from traditional to modern and the drinks are self serve with the most refreshing mango drink you'll ever try. I really love going here and always have an awesome time whenever I go. Recommend 100%.
S. F.
Chops are over cooked, food is average, fizzy drinks taste some cheap brand service is reasonable, downsized on many food items, less variety for price.

Awesome service amazing food .my kids loved it definitely recommended.

First time we tried this place and I must say it did exceed our expectations. Spoke to the lass in reception whom I mentioned that it was our first time here she explained how the payment is done first and where to head. We was greeted by a lovely lass called Shorty, mentioned to her it’s our first time here and if someone would take us to our seats and how does the process work here. Even though it was very busy she took the time to show us around ie where the bathrooms, plates, food are etc. She made us feel very welcomed and that alone makes you want to come back to this place so thank you. The waiters/waitresses were all lovely as they did come up to check on you. The food selection was more then enough for us. Overall we were really happy with the service, the food and will definitely be coming back again :)
I. A.
Good quality and freshly cooked food.
Overall Ziryab is probably the best halal Asian buffet in Birmingham, not that it is particularly difficult to be so.
I have been 5 times, the first 4 occasions I enjoyed a good quality meal up until the desserts. The 4th occasion was disappointing as I witnessed a slip in the standards of the food quality. But one mediocre experience out of 5 isn't enough to define the restaurant as bad.
The selection of desserts leaves a lot to be desired. It's missing the large variety and diversity of a truly executive buffet. However I would recommend the bread pudding to anyone with a distinctly sweet tooth.
Parking can be an issue although they do have on site parking and an overflow car park which is a 3 minute walk away.
Customer service on site is always above satisfactory.
I. C.

We have been there a few times before but this time the food was not very good, some items were undercooked, the place was dirty especially the washrooms and also just because it was the 2 days of eid they had put their prices up from £15 per head to £20, which was not right. Overall their service was rubbish, very disappointed. Today 27th March 2022 we came to Ziryab and their service and food was much better. I hope they will keep improving. Thank you

Best Pakistani & Indian food buffet one can ever get in whole of Europe!! <3 Massive spread of lamb and chicken food. My favorites were: namkeen gosht, nalli nihari, bhindi masala, dal tadka, gajar ka halwa and lahori halwa. Here you will also get Chinese, other Indian starters (golgappe etc) and western food. Make sure you make a round before you fill yourself.

Very nice breakfast, desi and English food available and really nice tea👌

We LOVE coming here, we always drive from Nottingham to Birmingham. For my kids' birthdays and any other reason will do. Atmosphere and staff are always nice. Would so recommend if you're looking for a halal buffet with free refill as much as you can eat. Can't wait to go again.

Alot of choices lots on the menu to choose from .food is just good , But I guess it would be for a buffet as food is mass produced and just sitting there for a while .very big place but found it to be abit cold even when the place was 80% full.good service for a buffet .

Amazing buffet at £20 (the latest price- visited 26th june 2021). Numerous items with proper pakistani and indian taste. Food is not very spicy so even if you like european cuisine, it is a must try. Service level is amazing with smiling faces. Nobody would bother you to get up until you are full. Recommended!!
Z. B.
Nice clean place, decent food. Could do with a bigger seating area
K. A.
Nice place to visit, loads of options to choose from in terms of food. The issue I have is the drinks selection could have been way more better. Apart from that it's okay, family orientated.

This place felt like you are attending a wedding dinner, with people dressed for a wedding and people eating on stage.
Rasmalai was just cold milk with sugar and dumplings. Otherwise the fish pakora, potato scallops, fried chicken, barfi, halwa were beautifully made.
R. H.
Very happy customers well done to all the staff and very nice food and service

Really enjoyed my visit here. Very friendly staff and accommodating as they provided us with some privacy screens as my wife wears the niqaab. It's the largest selection of food I've come across and the taste was great. I would recommend this place to others
