New Birmingham Restaurants Opening In 2025
Soofi - Opened January 2025
197A Hagley Road, B16 9RD
Having opened at the very beginning of the year, Soofi is the brand new Persian restaurant that has taken over the former Italian Fogo Bar and Kitchen. This was a pretty popular place, so they've got some big shoes to fill, but they've already wowed locals with their grand opening.
The halal eatery specialises in Persian and Iranian cuisine, also serving Middle Eastern desserts and afternoon tea. Head chef Ali Zabihi is at the helm, serving both lunch and dinner, promising authentic and delicious dishes.
This former Italian restaurant is promising big things.
Regina's - Opening January 2025
55 Cornwall Street, B3 2DH
Set to open at the end of January, Regina's is a stunning new Mediterranean restaurant that's going to be on the former site of Purnell’s Bistro and Ginger’s Bar. It's brought to you by the team behind Noel’s Bar & Restaurant, so it's clear that they know what they're doing when it comes to delectable Mediterranean cuisine.
They've renovated the space to feature elegant skylights on a hand-painted ceiling, plush velvet furniture and marble-topped tables, as well as a bespoke metal rose sculpture, designed by an artist who has previously worked with Dior. They're promising fresh ingredients and handmade pasta, among many other premium dishes.
This promises to be one of the best new restaurants in Birmingham city centre.
Kynd - Opening February 2025
Hampton Manor, Shadowbrook Lane, Hampton-in-Arden, Solihull B92 0EN
Slightly outside of the city, but well worth a visit, Hampton Manor's on-site restaurant is changing up this year. Kynd is opening on 27th February 2025, following the news that their previous residents Smoke are leaving the beautiful venue. MasterChef: The Professionals winner Stu Deeley ran the kitchen here, having earned the restaurant three AA rosettes and a recommendation in the Michelin Guide over the last few years, so new eatery Kynd is likely to be pretty special too.
The greenhouse-style space is filled with pretty plants and boasts a huge outdoor dining area, making it particularly perfect for the summer months. It will be headed by Michelin-starred chef David Taylor, with a focus on top quality produce in dishes that are rooted in comfort, heritage and flavour.
Dine in stunning surrounds at Hampton Manor.
Willow - Opening February 2025
Mulberry Walk, 10 Mere Green Road, Sutton Coldfield, B75 5BP
After the success of their two existing locations in Trentham and Telford, Willow are setting up shop in Mere Green for their third project. The venue has been empty since the closure of Prezzo in 2023, and it's being redesigned to reflect the aesthetic of the Mediterranean, in line with their menu.
You can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner here, in a cosy room filled with natural light. Whether you're in the mood for Turkish eggs on toasted sourdough, garlic and herb-glazed sea bass or penne pasta arrabbiata, there's guaranteed to be something for everyone.
Enjoy all-day dining at this Mediterranean spot.
Society - Opening May 2025
One Colmore Square, B4 6AA
Looking for new restaurants near Birmingham's Colmore Row? Well Society is bringing us a whole lot of them when it opens in May. This independent, food hall-style space spans a whopping 9,000 square feet, with room for up to 350 people across the open-plan dining area and outdoor terrace.
There'll be five different kitchens selling different cuisines, all from local businesses, alongside a craft beer bar, cocktail bar and coffee shop. Plus, you can expect artwork from small artists as decoration, and a lineup of great DJs from Thursday to Saturday each week.
The Manchester version gives us an idea of what Society Birmingham might look like.
Cylla - Opening March 2025
Newhall Street
Cylla, a unique fine dining restaurant, is set to replace the old All Bar One in Birmingham’s Newhall Street, opening this spring. With a focus on contemporary Greek cuisine, Cylla offers a sophisticated twist on Mediterranean flavours, blending the elegance of fine dining with the warmth and hospitality Greece is known for.
Located in Bruntwood SciTech's Cornwall Buildings in the Colmore Business District, the restaurant is headed by Adonis Maniadakis, whose Greek heritage has deeply influenced the vision for Cylla. The menu promises a harmonious balance of sea and land, while the expertly crafted Mediterranean-inspired cocktails combine traditional Greek spirits with fresh, local ingredients. Cylla’s design subtly nods to Greek architecture, creating a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, perfect for intimate dinners and special occasions.
Set to open in mid-March, Cylla will offer lunch and dinner seven days a week.
Indian Cafe Racer - Opening February 2025
Bristol Street
Indian Cafe Racer, the celebrated Indian restaurant that’s been wowing critics and locals alike since its debut in 2022, is expanding with a brand-new location just a few doors down from its current home at the Duke of Wellington Pub on Bristol Street. Now, the team is bringing their vibrant culinary experience to a larger space in the former Quarter Horse Coffee shop.
The design will pay homage to the Duke of Wellington with Victorian pub touches like wood panelling, tiling, and a feature bar serving up delicious cocktails and wine. The familiar elements that made the original Indian Cafe Racer so special will remain - think an open kitchen, rich bottle green hues, and a Royal Enfield motorbike at the heart of the dining experience. The menu will continue to highlight crowd-pleasers like spice lamb chops, red mullet moilee, and the famous broccoli GT 65, alongside exciting new Indo-Chinese dishes and rotating specials.
This new branch promises to be quieter and more spacious (but totally still delicious).
Maneki Ramen - Opening Spring 2025
Jewellery Quarter
Maneki Ramen is a popular destination in Worcester that won Japanese Restaurant of the Year in 2023. They're currently crowdfunding to open their Birmingham outpost in the spring of 2025 - and though the location is not yet confirmed, it's looking like it'll be in the Jewellery Quarter.
Expect the same sleek interiors of their original venue, with a mouthwatering menu to match. We're talking tofu yaki soba, kimchi chicken, tonkotsu pork ramen and so much more.
