Hengata - Birmingham

Amazing from start to finish. Food is excellently presented and tastes fantastic. A real gem worth walking those extra steps from the high street.

The food was superb! The pork cutlet 'nibbles ' and the scallops in corn puree were especially tasty. We had a wonderful meal, great service and good wine. We would definitely recommend this restaurant for amazing quality of food.

We went Tuesday afternoon and had the place pretty much to ourselves which we appreciated as a group of young new mums. Felt fitting for our Christmas lunch with our babies and will return with our partners in the evening for a different atmosphere and to try the dinner menu. Lunch menu has a lot of choice and the chef tweaks things upon request. Chatty service and friendly! Will return in a couple of weeks.

Absolutely loved it and will definitely return. The food was sooo tasty and beautifully presented. The service was super, wry friendly and chatty. Only one fault you could do with a door between bar and restaurant to stop that cold draught. It was a bit on the cool side.

Nice decor and feel to the place. Nice friendly staff and accommodating when we wanted to move our coats from next to the grill. Sri Lankan chef had residency for a couple of weeks and had lovely influence in the dishes. Lentil and carrot fritters were amazing, but the octopus was a let down, as was the bread. Sea Bass main was great, with a lovely chickpea base. The jackfruit croquette was amazing. The cardamon custard tart was more scrambled eggs unfortunately. Nice wine recommendations. I thought the whole experience and concept was great and will definitely go again.
