Piatto by Al Faisal’s

We went to celebrate our wedding aniversary. Normally we go to Al Faisal’s the indian restaurant (which has fantastic food and value for money) thought we’d try the Italian this time round. Wasn’t the best food and was too pricey especially for its location. Wouldn’d go there again think we’ll stick to the Indian. Upside the staff were friendly and service was good.

Came to Brum for a trade show was looking for a decent halal meal — we were very pleasantly surprised by the excellent food we had the Bistecca al Fungio which was particularly fantastic unfortunately most halal eateries don’t have a clue about halal steak. However, the chefs know what they are doing. the décor fits — lots of Italian American actors, AC milan pictures of greats like Baggio, Gullit etc The open plan kitchen is eye-​opening and very clean. If there was one issue for me they need to revise their pricing structur.

This italian restaurant is owned by the same owners of the indian restaurant Al Faisal’s, so we were optimistic about the quality of food. We weren’t disappointed! Our starters and main courses were delicious, but the desserts were disappointing. They were obviously not made on-​site and did not match the quality of the rest of the food.
We arrived at the restaurant about 45mins before closing time, so we were the only customers there, hence the atmosphere was not as we had hoped. The staff were friendly though and patient, even though they were closing up soon.
Pricier than Al Faisal’s indian restaurant, but if you adhere to a halal diet, it’s a great place to spend a little extra for a halal authentic italian bolognese or lasagne.
