Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Food & service were phenomenal. They were so accommodating of our dietary requirements. The food was so tasty and smelt incredible. I’m vegan & had a vegan moussaka & Foul Moudamas which was divine.

Were really pleased to find this gem of a restaurant, especially as I prefer to eat vegetarian where I can and this definitely fit the bill. I had the mousakka which wasn't quite what I had expected as I hadn't noticed it was vegan so...didn't have the usual bechamel sauce (and come to think of it potatoes), it came with rice. This turned out to be a very good option as it was delicious, as was the hummus starter. Service was extremely pleasant and they kindly provided doggy bags for what we were unable to eat at the table. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!More

We had been recommended to visit this restaurant before Covid but last night was the first time we got around to actually booking to go there. A pity because we have been missing out! We all had the set menu, but you get to select...your main courses. The meze mixed starters were plentiful, very tasty and would almost have been enough with nothing else. My wife is gluten and diary intolerant, and the restaurant went out of its way to ensure this was fully catered. All of the staff were very friendly and polite. You can take your own drinks and just pay a small corkage charge, unless you have the set menu in which case there is no charge. They even prepared a special dessert for my wife, which was very nice! Overall we thoroughly enjoyed all of our food and certainly will be going back .More

After reading the reviews and not familiar with eating out in Birmingham (the restaurant was close to our hotel) I was greatly looking forward to eating at Syriana. I was not disappointed - the food and service from our excellent waitress was sublime. We were...guided through the menu and happily took the advice, the food was absolutely delicious. I am just sorry I don't live in Birmingham! We felt welcomed and appreciated, the whole team gathered to say goodbye as we left, keen to know that we had enjoyed our meal. Thoroughly recommended.More
