Michelin-Starred Indian Flair Just Minutes from the Music

Opheem brings a bold, modern twist to traditional Indian cuisine in the heart of Birmingham. Located on Summer Row, this Michelin-starred gem is just a short stroll from many of the city’s top concert venues, making it a stylish and convenient choice before a show. The space feels sleek and contemporary, with open kitchen views and minimalist décor letting the food take centre stage.

Why Concert-goers love it

With its central location, Opheem is ideal for grabbing an exceptional meal before heading to a gig. Diners love the efficient service, which keeps things moving even when the restaurant is buzzing. The tasting menus and à la carte options offer flexibility depending on how much time you have. And while it's a high-end experience, the atmosphere is lively rather than stuffy — great for getting in the mood for a night out.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to elevate their pre-show plans

What People Say

Reviewers consistently praise Opheem as a “next-level Indian restaurant” with “innovative, beautifully plated dishes.” Many mention the standout tasting menu, which takes diners on a journey through Indian regions with a modern, European twist. The staff are often described as “attentive and knowledgeable,” helping to guide guests through the menu with confidence. The cocktails and wine pairings also get high marks for enhancing the overall experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that the prices are on the higher side — not surprising for a Michelin-starred spot — and that the bold flavours might not be to everyone’s taste. If you're in a rush, the tasting menu might be too leisurely, so opting for à la carte is a smarter move before a show.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting to start their night with refined Indian cuisine and a vibrant atmosphere, Opheem hits all the right notes.
