The Coconut Tree Birmingham

Nice, cosy restaurant with great atmosphere. Good, quality food, the egg hopper was delicious, the goat curry was a little bit too spicy for me. Normal portions, reasonably priced. The service was a bit confusing, the waiter came to our table and asked if we were ready to order, we said yes and before we could tell him our order he left for another table... same confusion with the payment as well... Good experience overall, but there's space for improvements.

Honestly what a phenomenal restaurant! The staff were amazing particularly Adi and Jonathan! The food was perfect, every dish and plenty of options for gluten free persons like myself. The drinks were spectacular on their own too from the house wine to the cocktails! We went with a group of six and next time I'm taking at least twelve, this place deserves your custom no doubt about it.

The flavours where definitely all very different and new so worth a try but the Sri Lanken spiced chicken wings came without any spice (they should’ve been the spiciest) and the food in general got cold after only a couple of minutes. The portions where small but were filling! The lady who served us was lovely (JS). The cocktails were very interesting worth the try, and enjoyed the beach boy most with its sweet pineapple flavour.

Walked in without a reservation, and were lucky enough that they found a way to seat us, in spite of being very busy. It did take a while for us to be able to place our order, but once she was aware we hadn't been helped, the waitress was so helpful and kind. Dishes are served tapas style, in small portions, and that is exactly what you want from a place like this: an opportunity to try lots of things in one visit. Every morsel we tried was delicious. The hoppers and goat curry were especially great! I wish we were in town for longer; so we could go back and try every single dish on the menu.

We LOVED the Sri-Lankan Bottomless Beach Brunch at @thecoconuttreeuk - it's still on until September 30th, and then, let's hope for more seasonal BBs 😍👏🏼 You get to choose two plates from their menu: one main and on side or hopper or short eats, with an option to upgrade to bottomless food. Are you wondering what the heck a "hopper" is?! Yeah, so was I! Well, it's goodness in form of a coconut milk bowl-shaped pancake with coconut sambol, seeni sambol (caramelised onions with a hint of cinnamon) & lunu miris (Sri Lankan salsa) and a fried egg. You mash it all together and roll it up. So good 😍👏🏼 For our mains, we had Hot Butter Calamari Sri-Tato > roast potatoes slightly fried and spiced Sri-Lankan style Prawn Curry Rotti and Lamb Cutlets The bottomless drinks options are: Rio Rumble, Beach Boy, St. Colombo, Processo, and Beer Slots are 2hrs and the refills were quick and individually (I learned recently how important I find this as it adds too much pressure on others if the whole table has to have their drinks empty before any are being topped up, big no no..) Price pP: £35.00

I’m not just saying it. But mad ting. The food is by far the best food I’ve eaten in a long while. The flavours are ridiculously tasty. Every mouthful is a slice of heaven. You know it’s good food when it fills your belly and you don’t feel stodgy and tired afterwards. Would highly recommend. The service and the music was spot on. 11/10 ps food was too good to take a picture got stuck right in. The rest is coming home with us
