About Tabu Bar & Restaurant

The dim lighting and eclectic decor set a comfortable yet slightly mysterious mood upon entry, inviting diners to settle into an experience that feels casual but carefully curated. Conversations hum gently around the room, blending with the soft clinks of glassware. Observations seen in various Tabu Bar & Restaurant reviews often praise the staff’s attention, which generally ensures that plates arrive promptly, though occasional moments of delay hint at the challenges of busier service hours. The balance between ambience and practical dining needs is handled with care, even if the space sometimes feels a touch cramped when fully occupied.

Highlighting culinary choices, the Tabu Bar & Restaurant menu diverges from the overly familiar, presenting inventive takes on classic dishes that cater well to varied palates. The smoky flavors of grilled meats stand out alongside vibrantly spiced vegetable sides, demonstrating a thoughtful layering of taste and texture. Photos shared by patrons tend to capture these dishes vividly, showing generous portions with appealing presentation, balancing rustic flair with subtle refinement. While some may find that certain dishes lean heavily on bold seasoning, the overall offering remains accessible without sacrificing character, contributing positively to the dining outcome.

Without focusing solely on its address in Newhall Hill, the broader impression of Tabu Bar & Restaurant is shaped by its lively, unpretentious spirit combined with a consistent food quality that appeals to both spontaneous visitors and those consulting detailed reviews online. Though the environment could benefit from improved acoustics or more intimate seating arrangements, the experience does not feel compromised. For those researching the venue, glimpsing Tabu Bar & Restaurant photos or user reviews can provide added context, but the atmosphere and flavor profiles ultimately speak louder than any portrayal might suggest.

Honestly one of the best meals out I've had I. Birmingham. Service great, food amazing, and cocktails fab! No criticisms at all but would of liked a slightly bigger wine list.

Nice vibe , lovely food the portions are not massive but enough if you want to have fun , get some food and enjoying the music. We went there for a birthday party, the staff was really friendly and helpful. It's a bit pricey but the atmosphere around makes the place special.

Recently, my wife and I chose Tabu for our wedding anniversary celebration, and the experience was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Manos in a warm an inviting manner. The soft lighting and soothing ambiance set the stage for a romantic evening. ;) What made Tabu even more special was its dedication to halal cuisine, a rarity in our upscale dining scene. As a Muslim couple, this was greatly appreciated. The menu offered a delightful range of dishes, each expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. From perfectly grilled meats to delicate seafood options, every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. One standout dish was the Beef Kushiyaki, a flavorful delight that left us craving more. Paired with excellent non alcoholic drink selections recommended by Manos. The service was impeccable, with Manos attending to our every need with a smile. His knowledge of the menu made our dining experience even more enjoyable. As we savored our dessert, a heavenly salted caramel cheesecake, we couldn't help but appreciate the wonderful evening we had shared. Tabu not only provided us with a memorable anniversary celebration but also filled a much-needed niche in our city's dining scene. In summary, Tabu offers more than just a meal; it provides a culinary adventure where halal dining meets upscale elegance. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual night out, I highly recommend Tabu for an unforgettable dining experience.

Look no further! It is a very lovely place to visit and enjoy a memorable time with your loved ones. The ambience is amazing, and there are a few open cubicles/ rooms that can be used for events like birthdays with friends or a nice get-together.

Very nice atmosphere and the food was lovely, I am not a big fan of sushi but they have a variety of meat too. The portions are not massive but the beef teriyaki and the chicken was quite filling. We went there for a birthday party with a group of 9 people, there was a very good vibe. We spent around £43 each for food and drinks. Some of the drinks at the bar are quite expensive but I guess it always depends what you order. Overall it was a really nice place for a Saturday night

Second visit, and it didn't disappoint! The staff and their customer service are great. The food is excellent, tasty, and well presented. Decor is slick, clean, and well maintained. A shout out to their Manager Manos, who takes their customer service to another level

I so love the cozy atmosphere here. I joined a group and sadly came in late so I only ordered spring rolls and a nice Tabutini (Tabu’s special) fruity cocktail. Everyone in the group loved their meal ! I’m definitely returning here for a proper three course and would write a detailed review. Is it wheelchair friendly? I will check again when next I visit Are Staff good? They were great Would answer more soon but it’s best you visit because I know you’d love it!
