OT Culinary delights of Birmingham

I shall be in Birmingham this Friday evening. Can any of our West
Midlands residents recommend a decent noshery?

http://www.henrysrestaurant.co.uk/index.htm looks jolly fine - anyone
tried it?

Other suggestions welcome.

Paul Corfield proposed

A friend of mine runs a japanese restaurant there at 129 High St,
Harborne. As far as I know it's pretty good, although I haven't
actually been there myself. It's a good friend so yuo can mention me.

passenger window yet

 

If it's Cantonese you're after, the Ruby chain has a good reputation

If it's a ruby you're after, Adil's Number 1 in Sparkbrook *used* to
have a great reputation, but has gone downhill, so avoid it.

Jessica's is always nice.

Generally, get out of the centre, and head towards Edgbaston, where
the cricket ground is.
