Amazing tapas in the heart of Kings Heath. We will be back for more! Great veggie options.

Food was as excellent as ever, good size tapas portions, great choice and flavours, reasonably priced. Service was friendly but slow on this occasion - have had much better service here in the past. But it would not stop me going back to this lovely little independent restaurant.
Parking: Kings Heath in general can be tricky to park. You can usually find something in the streets around Byzantium, but can be tricky. Parking in the pay and display car park then 5 minute walk is probably easiest, but make sure you input your number plate accurately or they will fine you.

Just had the pork belly and prawns was very good I'd recommend it for good quality food

Good selection of small plates, with dishes from across the Mediterranean. I would say the quality of the food was consistently good but not mind blowing. Aubergine parmigiana was particularly good though and good selection of veggie options.

The food, a mix of Greek and Spanish, is excellent. The best halloumi Saganaki I've ever had! Very vegetarian friendly.Not much atmosphere, but it was 7pm on a Tuesday in April (there for a gig at the Hare & Hounds)

We dined early so hard to judge the atmosphere as we and another couple where the only diners in there.

The food was delicious, but the waiter was not friendly.he barely acknowledged or spoke to us.maybe he had had a bad day but we did feel unwelcome.

Good little find just around the corner from the Hare & Hounds. We arrived without a booking so took a chance and luckily there was a table available. Really friendly service and tasty food. We had the pork belly, steak, kebab and croquettes. Aside form the pork belly being a little dry on one piece (good crackling though) the food was really good and we cleaned our plates. Would definitely return again if in the area.

Came here on recommendation, will not come again , paella was awful bland no colour and no crust on bottom of pan , probably the worst paella I have ever had , service was ok and staff friendly, wine was nice and a reasonable price , seats were hard and uncomfortable and the place was cold and to brightly

Many, many thanks for the staff in Byzantium to make our dinner a great experience. Food was amazing!

In theory full of promise in practice disappointing experience. Being Greek the name Byzantium brings a sense of nostalgia and as its local we thought we give it a try. Firstly we made an online boking and they couldnt find it. The seating uncomfortable, the paintings on the wall tilted, the door hanging from the weight and you need to man handle it to open it. The food, at best average and I mean at best and we tried amost the entire menu. Tiny portions lacking flavour and seasoning.The chicken and lamb skewers were so thin almost identical with the skewer stick in width, never seen that before and because they were so thin they arrived cold. I mean I understand they need to make money but... The fish bites didnt have any fish, calamari and prawns are not fish. Can't recommend a single dish maybe the patatas bravas but even those were full of sugar. Half hearted effort by the cook cause it definetly wasnt a chef, in conclusion not for foodies. Won't be going again and its a shame cause we want to support the locals. I am a big spender when it comes to food but 2 adults and a 6 year old £100 with the tip, felt like day-light robbery for their food.
