Semedos in Birmingham

Food is reasonably tasty but portion sizes for the price are a tad disproportional.In addition, I can’t see the portrayed Portuguese authenticity that they publicise. Put another way, they should ask themselves, what flavours SPECIFICALLY are they using, different to elsewhere, to imply that they are remotely similar to Portuguese cuisine? Because if you ask me, the food tastes the same as many other decent places.As is normally the case, in food outlets, there is always one member of staff that is dense. You see, I often wonder if some “people” are masquerading as human beings, but in reality they are bots, zombies or automations.Twice at this place, on different visits, I asked for chilli sauce and I got sweet chilli instead. A zombie is programmed to respond to a stimulus in a set way. So presumably, in this case, when I say chilli, the zombie is programmed to deliver sweet chilli. The scariest thing about it all is these people go on to have children. Or may be, I am totally wrong about the whole zombie thing and the she in question needs to visit an audiologist.On a separate note, the sink in the gents is so small you can only wash your hands in one of two ways: one finger at a time, or ignore there is a sink there and use the floor as the drainage system, i.e. treat the entire cubicle as a sink.

Cold place. Air freshener kept going off so we could taste it in our mouth. Food took for ever to be served. Nothing special. Not very tasty. Completey overpriced.

They used to have good food but not anymore. Recently when I order I get burnt food. Ordered this meal and when it arrived I couldn't even eat it. The chicken was completely burnt !!! 😞👎🏾

I came to the restaurant yesterday 11/01/22 with my mother,on the menu it says Sizzling steaks.... When we got our steaks they wasent sizzling?? They tasted bland and the fat wasent cooked properly,the corn on the cobs was black and burnt, the only thing that had flavour was garlic mushroom sauce.When I spoke to the waitress about this, she said she would speak to the chef.The customer service was terrible and when coming to pay for the bill there was no apology or not even any money off the bill.I would not recommend this place at all for the steaks.This cost my mom £50 and it wasn't worth it at all.We both felt let down by the service and the cooking of the food dissatisfied and disappointed.

Ordered steaks from them years ago and really liked it, so thought I'd try something new so I ordered a dish called Bacalhau Com Natas (fish potato pie). Fish pie wasn't exactly tasty, it was kinda bland for my liking, it's safe to say fish pie from your local supermarket (Asda, Tesco) is better and much tastier and I'm not just saying that. What's worst is that on my second/third bite I thought I had bitten into a fish bone, until I spat it out and saw that it was in fact, plastic!! (No plastic cutlery was provided so I had to use my own cutlery which of course wasn't plastic)... I was just horrified and speechless, I could've injured my mouth, and imagine if I swolled the plastic or even worse if I fed that bite to my young nephew or niece?? Where do you cook your food?! Not good, not acceptable. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again - AVOID.

Lovely outdoor seating area and wide variety of dessert and drinks. Beautiful place for a catch up and a bit of sun.

went for first time, food was nice and price was pretty decent. waiting could be improved a little bit.

1st time visiting this restaurant with family. Nice decor and busy when we arrived. Location is near a high street and close to the city centre. Please note you will have to pay for parking during busy daytime. Single yellow lines.Feedback on the food. The food was overall a disappointment hence 2 stars. It needed flavouring and sauces on the Burgers and Steak to enhance the food, it was very bland and dry. Mocktail could be better flavoured and presented better than in a beer glass fill with so many ice cubes than the Mocktail drink itself...Service was very slow with lack of communication of when the order is ready.... approx over 1 hour it took food to be served..My suggestion to the restaurant is to offer drinks early with some light snacks on the house..and communicate with the diner on update of their order... than to feel very hungry...and be frustrated....

Wow.. really impressed with the quality of food, the service and the decor of this nice little restaurant which is hidden in a corner in Jewellery Quarter.Staff are really polite and friendly, the restaurant area is nicely decorated and very clean. Food actually tastes really nice.. a word of advice their hot option is really hot.Theres is a nice area outside too where they have tables set too.The only downside is they take cash but theres a cash point across the road.

Lovely portuguese good. It was my 2nd time there and it was just as good as I remembered it. Although it would have been better with a bigger selection of "Portuguese desserts and better seating, it was overall very good.
