GENNAS KITCHEN, BIRMINGHAM 📍

PR/INVITE 

We were kindly invited down to @gennaskitchen to try some food and drinks from their menu! Based in Erdington they are a dark kitchen serving Caribbean food with their own twist to it. 

We opted for the Half Lobster and Fries, Lamb Combo W/ Mac + Cheese (Ribs and Fries), Prawn and Wings Combo (Rice and Chilli Jam flavour), a Genna Juice Grape and a Genna Juice Original. 

The Lobster and Fries combo was delicious 😍. Not heard of a lot of places offering lobster so when we saw this we had to choose it. It was was well seasoned, packed full of flavour and prepared perfectly. Served with loaded Fries this is a must try when visiting here. (Please note that the Lobster must be pre ordered prior to your visit). 

Both the Lamb Combo and the Prawn and Wings Combo were also incredible. Again they both were packed full of flavour. Everything was very well seasoned and cooked from fresh!🤩. The Lamb Ribs was soft and tender and melted in your mouth and the Mac and Cheese is up there with some of the best we’ve tasted! Love the sweet chilli jam which is used to flavour the wings and fries as it complements everything nicely. Washed down with their own brand of sky juice topped the meal off perfectly as it was ice cold and refreshing 🔥

Thank you once again @gennaskitchen for inviting us down for some lovely food and drinks. Be sure to check these guys out if you haven’t already 🙌

‼️10/10‼️

WOLOF, BIRMINGHAM📍

PR/INVITE

Kindly invited to @wolofflavours to try some food from the menu. 

Opted for the; 

Chicken Yassa 
Lamb Yassa 

First time trying authentic Gambian cuisine and it won’t be the last! Everything was cooked fresh to order and was delicious. It’s not hard to see why these guys are extremely popular. 

Both the Chicken and Lamb were cooked to perfection with the Lamb being our favourite as it was soft and tender 🔥. 

The Jollof Rice (Benachin) was again cooked perfectly with a rich savory and smoky taste which worked well with both meats! 

The plantain was golden brown and caramelized on the outside with a soft and tender inside, giving you a sweet and slightly crisp delicious taste. 

If you haven’t already be sure to check these guys out as it’s not one to be missed!

Also really enjoyed the Korean Mac & Cheese as it was decent with the Korean Chicken Chunks elevating the overall flavour. The onion straws were something different and after trying them for the first time would highly recommend these🤤. 

The tenders were juicy and even though they were coated in a sweet and spicy Mango and Habanero glaze they still remained crispy 🥭🌶️.

RAGIN BIRD, LEICESTER 📍

PR/INVITE

Kindly invited down to @raginbirduk to check out their incredible menu! 

Opted for the; 

- Ragin Box
- Prawn Roll 
- Banana Pudding 
- Ragin Tenders 

Everything was made fresh to order and tasted as good as it looked! The Ragin Box is a great option as it included their O.G Bird, Ragin Fries and a Ragin Taco. We added a few extras which were Flippin Bird, Tenders in each flavour and Wings 🐓🔥. 

Both Burgers were very tasty, containing a thick juicy Nashville Chicken fillet accompanied by sauce and salad. The Chicken Tenders were also cooked to perfection, each in a different flavour with a lovely crisp coating with our favourite being the Hot Honey Buffalo 🔥🍯. 

The Prawn Roll was also really nice and something we’ve not tried anywhere else. The Nashville seasoned prawns with sauces worked perfectly together in the soft brioche bun 🍤🔥. 

The Banana Pudding is a great way to finish the meal as it’s sweet and very moorish! A must try when visiting here 🍌. 

‼️9/10‼️

We were recommended to try the;

- Sweet And Sour Chicken 
- Crispy Duck
- Pork Belly
- Egg Fried Rice 
- Pineapple Bun With Butter
- French Toast
- Mango Pomelo Sago 
- Iced Lemon Tea

Everything arrived to the table freshly cooked to order and was delicious. Both the Duck and Pork Belly were cooked beautifully! Both remaining crispy and succulent. 

The Sweet and Sour Chicken had a delicious authentic flavour, with the chicken remaining tender and crisp. The sauce itself was a perfect consistency and wasn’t too sweet, pairing well with the fluffy Egg Fried Rice 🍛🔥. 

For desert it was a first trying a Pineapple Bun with Butter, however we were pleasantly surprised. The bun itself was soft and fluffy with a sweet crunchy topping, which tasted delicious with the salted butter. The French Toast was also very tasty, with a light syrupy texture, would highly recommend this 🔥 

The Iced Tea was a delight as it was made perfectly with the freshness and tanginess of the Lemons really combining well with the Tea. A great drink to go alongside the food 🍋.

GYO CURRY, BIRMINGHAM📍

PR/INVITE

Kindly invited down to @gyocurry.birmingham to try some food and drinks from their menu. Based in Chinatown they offer a range of delicious and unique items! 

We opted for the; 

- Katsu Chicken With Steamed Rice
- Teriyaki Chicken With Fried Rice
- Chicken Gyoza
- Calamari 
- Curry Fish Ball 
- Hata Strawberry Ramune 
- Coca Cola

The Katsu Chicken was really nice as the curry sauce had a rich and bold flavour and the chicken was cooked perfectly, nice and crispy! The rice was also steamed to perfection 🍚. 

The Teriyaki Chicken was delicious. It was sweet, savory, and salty with a deep umami flavor from soy sauce and a caramel-like sweetness from honey. A perfect combination with the fried rice 🔥. 

The sides of the Chicken Gyoza’s, Calamari and Curry Fish Balls were all also very nice. Everything was cooked to order and served fresh with the Calamari being a personal favourite 🦑. 

Would recommend you give this place a try!

HAPPY LAMB, BIRMINGHAM📍

PR/INVITE

Kindly invited down to @happylambbirmingham for a unique experience of the famous hotpot. Located in Chinatown and open till late they offer a range of tasty broths to choose from with a wide selection of fresh meats, fish and vegetables to add to them!🔥. 

They also offer a classic buffet with your usual favourites 😍. 

We opted for the; 

- Spicy Marrow Chicken Broth 
- Rich Tomato Broth

First time trying a hotpot and was really impressed! Really enjoyed both broth bases as they were rich, flavourful and hearty. The Spicy Marrow Chicken packed a lovely but not unbearable spice kick 🌶️. This one was our favourite and worked with all the meats. 

Also enjoyed the Rich Tomato as it had a slight sweetness to it and deep umami flavour which provided both richness and depth. Again really nice with the meats but also the fish aswell 🔥. 

The Chicken, Lamb and Beef are halal. They do serve Pork however this is labelled and kept separately from everything else! 

This is a great experience as it gives you the chance to cook to your own liking. It’s also ideal for friends and family as you there’s something for everyone.

Would recommend you give this place a try! 

Thank you again @happylambbirmingham
