👍👍 Amazing little cafe. The food was great, the atmosphere was nice and quiet. A good place if you want to get away the busy center of Birmingham. The decoration were also amazing. I really recommend it! People often mention coffee, Karibu,

    Finding out that the interior of Karibu Coffee House was updated only 3 years ago. Given the pace at which change has on interior design. Karibu looks fresh, I would argue cool. I love the mix of modern lighting elements mixed with Tanzanian art works. If you do visit, please speak with the owner. His family lived in Tanzania for 3 generations. He is a book of knowledge wrt African and what Brunmies term “Indian Food”. I opted for 2 dishes: the rolex (Chapati Roll) and the Mbaazi Mandazi, an African style stew. The former was a taste sensation, very much like a wrap. A side note. Their coffee is Tanzanian. Karibu Coffee House is a comfortable, relaxed environment. The staff are warm and helpful. It’s their African dishes and coffee that set them apart.

    My favourite cafe!!! This little gem in Digbeth serves amazing food and drinks in an inviting setting. The owners are lovely and welcoming - I've NEVER been disappointed with my food. They also sell handmade items from Africa :-)

    The interior is nice. Came here for a cappuccino but it wasn't made properly. There wasn't any coffee taste and it was nearly boiling temperature. Quite pricey as well. Waste of money sadly.

    Such a brilliant cafe just a short walk from the bullring. The Samosa Chaat is insta famous but also really really tasty! Make sure you learn a new language from the wall art too!

    Absolutely loved it here! The atmosphere and décor was lovely and chilled, perfect stop for my lunch break. And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. And the fooood!!! I was recommended one of the specials Mbaazi Mandazi if I wanted something a bit different, and it was next level amazing, I’ve never had anything like it, and I can’t wait to go back for more! Also bought some Vitumbua to take home to treat the family, and they couldn’t get enough of them! They were so beautiful and moreish! Can’t recommend this place enough.

    Great place to have coffee. Cake, chocolate and coffee were amazing. Ambient is quite charming and colorful

    Excellent place for a quite, clean, and halal breakfast. Unlike other breakfast places, Karibu Coffee House has the great experience in terms of nicely decorated (African theme), halal food (for those who only eat delicious halal food), and cleanliness (cooking is done in an isolated kitchen, so no bad smell). Also, the floor, tables, and cutlery are clean.

    I can't believe I'd never stopped for a coffee here before. Acoustics are perfect and there is a really relaxing atmosphere. The young gentleman that served me was super nice and welcoming. Cheese toastie and coffee were perfect and I definitely have my eye on the prawns for the next time I pop in. Nothing but good things to say - highly recommend you stop by.

    I have been meaning to go to Karibu for some time and now that I have been, I will definitely return! Having spent a portion of my childhood in Tanzania, I wanted to try some food that would remind me of that time and Karibu certainly delivered. My husband and I decided to split the Swahili kebabs, Karibu masala chips, and bongo wings. We got a couple of mandazi to take away, as well as some baobab sweets. All the food was delicious and reminded me of my childhood. The only downside was that the chicken wings weren't ready until we had finished the kebabs and chips (and had taken our time to do so), even though we had been told they would only be a couple of minutes. Still, the food was lovely and the staff were friendly as well.

    We have been ordering from KCH for a couple of years now. Never have we been disappointed with the quality & service from this family business. The taste and presentation of their food makes us reminisce the holidays our family has spent in my fathers home country of Tanzania. If you are looking for something exquisite and a change of culture, head over to KCH!! Superb location and beautiful family environment based in central B'ham. Keep it up!!!

    Amazing food, lovely staff and a relaxing environment! I definitely recommend going, the chicken tikka chips are one of the best meals ever!

    Lush food, wonderful staff, interesting decor, if a tad pricey. Definitely one to check out if you're in the area of the bus station!

    Perfect place to go to for a hot drink before going to O2 for a concert

    We visited yesterday on our way back into the city centre from visiting an event, although mid morning on a Saturday there appeared a good flow of customers. Situated outside the city centre and close to the coach station makes this an ideal stop off between the two Outside seating area for those patrons who are smokers, deceptively spacious interior. The youngman serving was doing a relatively good job of keeping up with dine-in and take away orders as well as clearing tables. He took our order and told us to grab a seat and he brought our order over when ready. The coffee and hot chocolate were a standard affair, the biscoff cheesecake delicious. Three prong plug and usb charging ports under all the bench seats make this an idea place to sit and study or catch-up with some out of office work.
