We booked for lunch as The Cosy Club offers a good variety of gluten-free food and a couple of tasty vegan dishes. I have Coeliac disease and my friend eats a vegan diet. Very good understanding of cross contamination, and the food and service was excellent.
Super impressed with Verdo Lounge when we visited last weekend. Excellent service & amazing food! One of the best gluten free menus I have seen & staff were so attentive and helpful. Loved it, can't wait to visit again soon!

Although they say they can’t guarantee 100% free of cross contamination, most Indian curries are naturally gluten free, so as long as you stick to those, you shouldn’t have any problems. They have gluten free options on their menu and if you tell them you’re coeliac, they will let the chef know and make sure to take extra care with prep.
I have celiac, and I cannot overstate how incredible the staff here was. I told them I have celiac, they have a gluten free menu and everything on it is celiac safe. They brought out my coke and my dad’s beer seperately to make sure there was no cross contamination, which was just incredibly kind. The food was spectacular, one of the best meals I’ve had since I ate out. The directions on maps are kinda weird though, it’s on the second floor of the mall, not the first. Kinda tripped us up there. Solid price too, cannot recommend this place enough

Had such a good time!! Staff were lovely, really friendly and welcoming, food was delicious, wide selection and very inclusive with a vegan and gluten free menu. The cocktail menu had lots of options and the drinks were equally as delicious as the food.
It's a really nice size venue and the toilets are accessible and well maintained.
My partner is celiac and this is the only Chinese place that has done gluten free food making it able for her to enjoy a Chinese but for some strange reason they have suddenly stopped the gluten free menu which is extremely disappointing as eating Chinese food is no longer an option for a takeaway treat, we had birthday plans tonight with some family and was going to place a large order but suddenly found out they no longer do gluten free food which made things rather difficult. Such a shame as I always spoke highly of this restaurant but unfortunately this is a huge disappointment.
We see served by Dylan who was amazing. The gluten free lady in our group was very well catered for and looked after. We’ve had a wonderful time for siennas 18th brunch! Thank you so much Dylan!
What a great place .First time visit with 9 people. Easy to book on line .confirmed by restaurant plus reminders during the week .Arrived on time seated on time our waiter was Ryan who looked after us throughout. Great service .Food was divine, right proportions. Flavour of food was really good and very tasty .Limited vegan and gluten food .Definitely worth going. See you soon .
Best gluten free burger I've ever had, the staff were fantastic, and we were seated quickly. And the cost is pretty good too. Left full at just over £20 each including drinks.
A Truly Wonderful Dining Experience
From the moment we walked in, on the Friday evening before our Peter Kay gig, everything about our visit to Cosy Club Brindleyplace was spot on. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, the restaurant itself was spotless, spacious, and full of charm.
The service was absolutely fantastic — friendly, attentive, and nothing felt like too much trouble. The food? Genuinely outstanding. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented, far beyond what we expected.
What really stood out, though, was how well they catered for my partner, who’s a refractory coeliac. The staff took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. That kind of care and attention means the world.
Booking was quick and easy, and we left feeling genuinely looked after. We’ll definitely be back — it’s rare to find somewhere that gets it all so right.
Great service here with particular attention to dietary restrictions- gluten free. Kids menu was good value and we enjoyed the new honey chicken. It was a little fatty in places and the gyoza could have been cooked a little more. Really attentive staff who looked after us throughout and made sure we had a nice table and were happy with everything.
Fast turnaround on freshly cooked food and lots of options. Would recommend for families needing gluten and non-gluten containing options.
Excellent friendly service, when I advised one of our party was gluten free they knew exactly what do to do and which menus and allergen info we needed, food was very nice, gluten free pizza base was pretty good, not the best we’ve had but far from the worse. Our server OliviaG was on it, attentive and friendly, we would eat here again.
I was served by Karhys who was very kind and handled my need to eat gluten-free with great professionalism.
There is a separate, entirely gluten-free menu with an interesting choice of starters, main courses and desserts. Unfortunately, for now, there is only one vegan option in the gluten-free main courses; the raisukaree with tofu is really very good!
Celebrated mine and my husbands birthday here last night. Honestly cannot fault the place, it really is as good as the reviews say. I’m gluten free and have never been catered for so well. Thank you!
Amazing food, the hot crab starter was amazing, it was an explosion of flavour and the pork was cooked to perfection. It amazing to have to much gluten free choice too
**fantastic! **At last a UK restaurant that offers something close to my US favourite 'in n out burger
Freshly cooked, full of flavour, gluten free if you order protein wrap or bowl style. Great staff. I will not walk past Five Guys again!
Please be careful if you are a coeliac. I ordered a gluten free takeaway sandwich which I clocked it had crispy onions in, took it back to ask if it was a gluten free and was told that it wasn’t and was offered a refund (hence 2 stars instead of 1). Really gutted as gluten free options seemed exciting, but can’t risk coming here again.
Great gluten free experience. Staff really looked after me. My daughter brought me here for Mothers Day having found their gluten free menu. Will definitely come back. Theresa and Callum our servers were great!
Good food and lots of gluten free options. Starter was hotter than the supposedly fiery chicken curry but enjoyable.
Drinks could be more chilled but worth a visit, not too busy.
Dee served us at the Birmingham Bullring branch and really made our night. She was attentive, professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We dined with a coeliac at the table and she was extremely averse with the menu and all of the dietary requirements for our friend. She helped us and literally was the reason we would love to come back :)
First time trying Tamatanga honestly it did not disappoint the Thali was amazing so delicious the food was hot and very good quality. It was a bit chaotic as it was a Saturday but the service and standard of food was top quality! Very good if you are vegan/ gluten free lots of selection. A really great place and good value for your money would definitely be coming back here. The service and staff were friendly and helpful too.
More gluten free and vegan dishes please!
Jowell is such a customer orientated manager, very kind and cares so much about people you can tell. He made our meal so much better and works so hard running around everywhere helping people.
Thanks a bunch
We looked for somewhere to have lunch today whilst in the jewellery quarter and the reviews were good. Service was excellent from everyone we encountered especially Kelly,our server. I was a little emotional when I arrived and she was a sweetheart going above and beyond one her approach to me.
Good menu and good gluten free choices. I had the pork belly (small plate) which was so delicious and no fat with fries and my husband had the Schnitzel Bagel with fries. Excellent quality, taste and service. We had a cranberry juice and a beer and the bill came to around £46.
Toilets very clean and service excellent. The interior is also beautiful.Will definitely be back.
The workers were very polite and professional. We booked in advance and on arrival we were asked if our preference was table or booth, even offering us an extra chair if the booth was too tight. They were attentive throughout, clearing plates and checking if we were okay etc.
Overall excellent customer service which created a genuine welcoming atmosphere. They accommodated us with a gluten free pizza inclusive, despite gluten free pizza not being a buffet dish. We were also given the allergen book. Our party included 3 children who all enjoyed the food and buffet experience. The child with allergies had no complaints.
I was very appreciative of the kids eat free (when you spend…) deal! The flow of food and range was very good! Delicious pizzas, salad and ice cream. Next time I will also try the pasta!
We recently visited your restaurant after calling ahead to check if you had gluten-free options, as my boyfriend has celiac disease. We were told gluten-free options were available, and when we arrived, we clearly informed the staff again about his condition and the need for strict precautions.
Unfortunately, despite the reassurances, my boyfriend experienced severe gluten contamination. He’s been very unwell for three days now and which almost never happens to us, so we know it was from this meal. This has been really difficult for him, and honestly quite upsetting for both of us.
I do want to say the waiter who served us was genuinely kind and friendly we had a nice interaction. But it’s extremely important that staff are better trained and more careful with allergies and intolerances, especially when a guest has made it clear multiple times.
We’re sharing this feedback in hopes that you can take this seriously and ensure better allergy protocols in the future. It would also help if you clearly explain what items are truly safe for celiacs and what isn’t, to prevent others from going through the same.
Thank you.
What a lovely restaurant. Met friends in town for lunch. Had a great meal and they catered well for our coeliac gluten free friend. Good selection of wines to accompany our 3 course lunch. Would highly recommend the specials.
Disclaimer I didn't eat here, I'm coeliac and the restaurant were completely transparent and said although items were marked GF they use the same utensils and wouldn't be suitable for those with coeliac. It's a shame as the food looked amazing. Just be sure to ask about cross contamination etc, if you're intolerant and not that sensitive or can have trace amounts of gluten it's prob fine though
Great food, full of flavour. Attentive service. Clearly labelled gluten-free options. Gluten-free bread has milk. There are many vegetarian options. Usually you need to wait for a table as it is busy.
My partner and I attended on a Saturday evening to celebrate her upcoming birthday. My partner is Gluten Free, and Harborne Kitchen went out of their way to accommodate that dietary requirement.
We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in. We were greeted by all the staff and even the chefs all said allow as we walked by the pass to our seat.
We both went for the tasting menu. And I had the wine pairing. The food was exceptional. Beautifully presented, and each plate was introduced to us by one of the chefs. There are one or two reviews on here complaining about portion size. I think the problem here is common with a taster menu. Especially the Malloreddus. That dish was so good. I wanted to get a big big bowl of it, change into my fat pants, sit on my sofa, and scoff the lot. We were both waddling out of the restaurant after, so there are no complaints from us about portion size.
My only criticism is the tomato course, which is literally a slice of tomato with a couple of onions chucked on. Served with a little bit of stock. I can't understand why it is on a taster menu at a fine dining restaurant.
The decor was nice. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Good vibes all round. And we appreciated the birthday wishes with a chocolate treat. Thank you, Harborne Kitchen. We will definitely be back soon 😋
Lovely food in a relaxing environment.
The team were able to cater for my gluten intolerance changing the bread for a gf alternative.
Many thanks to Kim, and Eliza for the wonderful coffee.
Thank you to all the team.
Came in for an early meal before the theatre. Lovely welcome from Alex, (always a good start when staff acknowledge your presence and say they will be with you shortly). As I am gluten free, the choice here is very good. Attentive service and lovely food. Colourful restaurant with music adding to atmosphere. They have 2 for 1 on cocktails at the moment and Alex explained them to us and took the time to help us choose. I also had a voucher for 1 main get 1 main free, plus a gift card. They took every offer with no terms excluding using any together. It was 75p over my gift card value, but Beth manager removed this without telling me and I appreciated the kind gesture. All in all a lovely experience to enhance our day. Thank you.
Lily & Jodie were absolutely delightful and expertly advised us on allergens. The food was amazing and I definitely recommend the loaded fries. Also has gluten free options
Went to the restaurant thinking they would have gluten free options. They had to call manager to take my order which was fine. However the only option for me was plain chicken and this is what I got last time I went there was an option for a salad on side or no side one side or two it’s changed completely. Once our orders came the lady who served it made it publicly known it was an allergen chicken which made me feel alienated my partner was appalled by this and now has stated we won’t be going again. It’s not hard to get gluten free bread or pita and a place like that should have these options. Please consider this as it’s not a choice to be gluten free especially for me so my favourite place has now been ditched because the company is out of touch.

Having heard great things about Trentina, we were really excited to try it- unfortunately we can only judge on our own experience, and it was poor.
For starters we ordered the Cornish sardines, puntarelle, and salami. The sardines were the nicest part of the meal, the salami was good, and the puntarelle was disappointing- they’ve not really found an interesting way to serve it, and the dressing doesn’t match the bitterness enough.
For the mains, we ordered the Devon crab spaghetti, and a gluten free lamb matlagliati. The gluten free pasta was of a decent standard, however unfortunately the sauce was far too liquidy, and therefore seriously lacked taste. The crab spaghetti was cooked well, slightly al dente, however there was next to no flavour at all. As we were paying, we actually noticed the table next to us send the same dish back, claiming it normally doesn’t taste so bland. Having not been before, I wasn’t to know though.
Perhaps it was an off night for the chefs at Trentina, however we have no reference point as it was our first time, and we left disappointed.
