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!

We got there about 17.45 and there was no waiting so good start to the evening as the front of house staff got us seated straight away. Few points to remember Payment is taken upfront cash or card, get there early to grab a parking as it can be packed. The ambiance is ok but being a buffet restaurant its busy when the service kicks off say after 7pm it can be manic in there. Food is average the specials like namak ghosh and haleem are good to try but its your typical desi food so don't expect wow factor. Their spicing is a bit bland for being a desi restaurant it should have a bit of a kick and more flavour rather than all tasting the same. Special mention for the lady serving desserts should have been more staff rather than just one person helping out definitely this place is understaffed lack of attention to detail needs a lot of improvement. Toilets need some cleaning so please get more staff. Hygiene standards are low and there are some covid guidelines being followed but still a long way to go. They need to improve alot of factors before i plan to visit this place again, total nightmare.

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.

Though the reviews are high, the taste and quality of the food is pathetic. We were hyped up to celebrate a momentous occasion, but the food served here totally dampened our moods. The ambience of the restaurant is below par. The starters were overflowing with oil. The main course were so bland. No comments for the desserts. Probably the best thing that I had was Pepsi

It's not a bad buffet, but it's not amazing either. Wide selection of Indo/Pak food (curries). They also do fried chicken, salads, sauces, some random "Chinese" and "Italian" food! Their curried are decent. Again, not mind blowing with flavours, but this is expected for a buffet. The other food is mediocre at best. Otherwise, it's poor in quality and lacks taste. Desserts were OK. Restaurant gets really busy and the seating is a bit cramped. Again, I was expecting this at a buffet. The "Executive" part of their name is eyebrow raising! Nothing executive here. £22 per head. Average price for buffet. You can only pay by card for one person per table. So if you come in a group of 6 and expect to pay individually, then only one person can pay by card. Very annoying, but they have an ATM to withdraw cash, so I guess the problem is resolved. Overall, not a bad place. I'd come back again if with a group of guys and they all suggest it, but it personally wouldn't be my first choice!

Get down to Ziryab whenever you can. There's a car park guy to keep things in check - but if you've ever driven in Alum Rock before you know it's like the Wild West so brace yourself. Great selection of food, lots of meat-free options, lovely breads, desserts... Even unlimited drinks are in the price unlike other buffet places. Loved it. Definitely going back.

Well, let's talk about my unforgettable adventure at the Ziryab Buffet Restaurant – because where else can you experience the thrill of a Pakistani wedding without having to RSVP? You know you're in for a treat when the ambiance makes you feel like you've stumbled into a kiddie birthday party. Kids on the loose, food flying around – it's like a culinary free-for-all. Who needs a menu when you can play food roulette, am I right? Now, onto the food, where the flavors are as diverse as the seating arrangements at a family gathering. The fried fish was good, And the palak chicken – Popeye would trade his spinach for a bucket of that any day! Let's not forget the gajar halwa – it was one and only sweet dish I like to eat at Ziryab. Paye was better option as compared to other dishes. But don’t expect them up to the mark. The fries and chicken wings were liked by my kids. Now, the rice dishes – it's like they were playing a game of "Guess the Flavor." The Chinese rice and chicken Manchurian won the flavor lottery, while the others… well, let's just say they were the shy participants. And speaking of mysteries, the taste seemed to change with each visit of ziryab like the food was auditioning for a new role. Parking availability felt like a game of chance. Weekends and holidays! If you are going weekend or public holiday it will take some time to get the parking. Buckle up for a parking adventure. But here's the kicker: despite the food rollercoaster, my kids and I still love going to Ziryab. It's like a time machine back to those shaadi vibes we miss from home. So, if you're feeling the shaadi nostalgia but not exactly the MasterChef vibes, Ziryab is your ticket to the party!

Amazing varieties in buffet, never seen so much food in offer, authentic Asian dish ( mainly Pakistan, Indian style) Italian counter...£20 per person..please take cash..they dont use card machine.. but they have their own cash machine in reception..will not charge you a fee..also don't eat anything at home from morning, go and smash it.. money well spent.. been there twice..enjoy😊

£20pp. Plenty of restaurant parking. Good buffet with 150 dishes. Taste of some dishes may not be up to the mark but generally okay. Would recommend for a buffet experience but not so much for quality or taste as there are some really good restaurants around.

Another very good buffet option in Birmingham with dozens of desi and?non desi diahes!! Parking available on site free of charge with sufficient spaces!! £20/ head with children under 5 free of charge!! Variety of traditional Pakistani and Indian cuisines as well as BBQ, pasta and pizzas!! During Ramadan samosa, spring rolls as well as pakory!! Biryani pulao white rice as well as chicken fried rice and almost a dozen of different curries as well as haleem, nihari and paaye etc. More than a dozen options in desserts!! Drinks including traditional tea is included in the price!! Sufficient sitting space and rest room facilities!!

It was nice experience to have dinner buffet at Zaryab. Seating arrangement, interior designing was magnificent. Food was superb. A lot of variety. Live grill or BBQ was not in option which can be added healthily.

Been here many a times. Price has gone up to 20 pounds per person over 11 and 10 pounds for kids. Lots of varieties to choose from Starters, Curries, Biryani, English, Italian and Chinese. A selection of Desserts from Jelly, Ice-Cream, Cakes, Ras-malai and others. Added Bonus fresh Lamb Chops and Stir Fry made while u wait. Unlimited drinks included in the price.

We went to Ziryab Buffet on a Sunday evening at around 6pm. It wasn’t that busy. We had to wait for 5 mins but got shown to a table. There was a quite variety of cuisines from Italian, to Chinese and Indian. There was different varieties of food. The Peri peri chicken, masala fish was quite dry but most of the curries tasted nice. Everything felt fresh. The stir fry was really nice. There wasn’t much service, as it’s mainly choose your own food. The tables were cleared fairly soon. Can’t comment on staff friendliness. The price was sort of expected for a buffet. Good variety of food and good taste to food. It’s a good place to try, if you never had a buffet. Just note on a busy period, parking can be a pain. I went at a fairly quiet period and struggled to find parking.

This review is from someone who has traveled from london. The food what can I say it hit or miss. Leta talk about the starter first and the one I had. Chicken pakora was fresh. When i say fresh means the meat was fresh and there was no smell coming of it. But same can’t be said about the fish which was chewy means it either frozen or old. For mains chicken biryani was spot on not spicy and not bland just right. In grilled its lamb chops was really good and i would highly recommend it. Same as paya as well freshly made. For haleem the dall ratio was not even and there was strong taste or barely that was in haleem. Gol gapy water was also delicious by far the best I had in Birmingham. Dessert I will highly recommend Gulab jaman the sweetness of it was just right and also other dessert I didn’t had chance to eat but my family gave it nice thumbs up. Drinks wise there wasn’t any 7up or Sprite in dite so that was kind of disappointing as well but I had diet pepsi and it was nice and chill.

Came today with my family. There was no wait. From entering to getting our food was done within 6 minutes. They have a huge range of Indian food, Italian etc. Overall we enjoyed the food and will come again soon. 10/ 10 recommended.

Sadly the worsed restaurant I’ve ever been. Tables were not cleaned properly with rubbish under the table. Food wasn’t authentic especially the starters were quite bland with marinate just to the surface of the meat. I tried to eat Jalebi which seemed to be out of date and drinks option was quite bad as seen in the image. Overall I think it’s a bad copy of ‘The Royal Nawaab’ restaurant. At £20 per head not worth it at all and for sure won’t be going back again.

Visited for the first time on recommendation of close friend ,and it was a Saturday, expect busy parking, waiting times before being seated. Need to pay in advance and then get seated by staff. Too many options, variety in salads and chutneys, types of pakodas, pizza, fries, tikka, tandoori items, grilled items, ample variety in Currys and veg options. Also not to forget chinese cuisines along with traditional Pakistani dishes and sweets, can be ended with unlimited coldrinks, included in the bill you pay. Staff is prompt, washrooms are ok'ish and prayer(namaz) room for namazis. My recommendation for must try is chicken pakoda, chilli chicken, kfc style fried chicken, seekh kebab in starters. Namkeen gosht in curry was my favorite , did try a few veg dishes alo g with meat pulao and showstopper was the gajar ka halwa, so yummy. Definitely will come back if looking for buffet in Birmingham. Note: don't go if you are on diet, go and have food tummy full 😋

One of the last good few buffet places left, prices for adult is £20, a massive variety of food , unlimited drinks plenty of desserts. If you want to try buffet places this should be at the top of your list. There is a car park for parking but it can get full very quick.

Parking was easily found, they have a parking lot in the back. The staff member working in the parking lot was helpful and polite. We went there during Ramadan so it was expected to be extremely busy. The staff were polite and accommodating expect for the rottweiler and an old Asian man. The fried food (Samosas & Pakoras etc) were extremely dry and cold. Not enjoyable at all but the curries and desserts were top notch. I've been here a few times and might return in the future.

It doesn't have as much variety as to be expected. Some of the dishes such as fish, chicken wings, sheekh kabab etc are bland and after this not much left to eat. £20pp is way expensive for the taste wise and would prefer to eat kabab near by.

Buffet price £20 in weekdays now (weekend £22). Quality of food: 7-8/10 Service: 9/10 Food freshness: 8-9/10 Taste (asian tongue): 8/10 Interior: 7-8/10 Recommendation: recommended if you love Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi cuisines.

Nice place for a meal with friends or family. Large seating area. Friendly staff. Food, as in variety and taste is average. No seafood available in the live cooking section. A variety of Asian and English desserts available. Car park is inadequate compared to the capacity of the venue. One may have to wait to get parking space. Not much emphasis on maintenance or cleanliness of toilets, bearing in mind the traffic. Recommend.

Parking is available but it's hard to find a slot during peak times. Fortunately they had a parking Vallett who guided cars in stop the car park over flowing. The seating area is very spacious but the tables are rather close, so you tend to hear other people's conversations. The food variety is fantastic and the items were regularly refilled.

Enough parking space. The nearby roads to Ziryab is very congested. For the price i.e., £20 pp, the food quality is not upto the mark. Very few dishes were good in taste. Kebabs were superb. Rasmalai and Dahi bhalle was below average. It's a okay kind of place if you just want an experience of different places but I have eaten at better buffets at the same price in Birmingham. After billing, the lady with walkie who showed us our space behaved pretty rude when we asked to change our seats as we were 10. The toilet was dirty too. Didn't like the overall ambience. Not going there again!!

Worst buffet dining experience ever. Apart from 2 or 3 dishes everything was of very poor quality. It was evident that the lamb chops were being used from previous days. Too dry and burnt. The haleem, nihari, biryani everything was of poor quality. At £22 per person feels like an absolute rip off with what's being offered
