Description
TenTen Café & Restaurant sits on the corner of Moseley high street in Birmingham, serving a blend of proper English brunch and genuine Persian cuisine. This is a family-run halal café where a full English meets a Persian sofre — two culinary worlds on one menu. Whether you're after breakfast, brunch, or coffee, the business brings together traditional British comfort food with authentic Persian lunch trays and speciality lattes in every colour of the spice rack. The signatures here are built on real ingredients and real skill. The halal full English comes with chicken sausages, turkey rashers, hash browns and the works. American pancakes, breakfast croissants, and a full Persian table of dishes like Bandari, Kotlet, and Aubergine & Walnut Dip sit alongside vegan and vegetarian options. Come hungry. The neighbours say ten out of ten.
What makes this café different is the commitment to authenticity across both sides of the menu. The Persian sofre concept means lunch trays are built with care and genuine technique, drawing on family recipes passed down and refined over time. Each dish carries the weight of proper cooking — no shortcuts, no mass production. The speciality lattes are a signature touch that sets the business apart, available in every colour of the spice rack, each one crafted with attention to flavour and presentation. Vegan and vegetarian options ensure there is something for every table, whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time. The team understands that breakfast and brunch are about more than fuel — they're about starting the day right, and they've built their menu to reflect that approach.
The halal full English is a standout on the breakfast menu. Chicken sausages and turkey rashers replace the traditional pork, but the quality and generosity remain unchanged. Hash browns, eggs cooked to order, beans, tomatoes, and toast complete the plate. This is proper breakfast, built to real standards and served without compromise. American pancakes offer a lighter alternative, stacked and ready to eat, while breakfast croissants provide a quick option for those in a hurry. The business takes pride in getting the fundamentals right — good bread, good meat, good technique.
The Persian table represents the other half of the menu and reflects the family's heritage and culinary knowledge. Bandari brings seafood and rice together in a traditional way. Kotlet offers a meat-based comfort that works for lunch or dinner. Aubergine & Walnut Dip is a vegetable-forward dish with depth and character. These are not fusion experiments or modern reinterpretations — they are genuine Persian dishes prepared with respect for their origins. The sofre concept means dishes arrive as part of a complete lunch tray, encouraging sharing and conversation. This approach to food service reflects a different pace and a different approach from the standard café model.
The business opens Monday to Thursday from 09:00 to 18:00, Friday and Saturday from 09:00 to 21:00, and Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00. This schedule makes the café accessible for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and early dinner across the week. Walk-in customers are welcomed throughout the day, and the team can accommodate both quick visits and longer stays. The corner location on Moseley high street makes the business easy to find, and the address is 143 Alcester Road. The full menu is available on their website, allowing you to browse options before visiting or to place an order and message the team directly.
As a family-run independent, the business operates without the constraints of a chain or franchise model. This shapes every decision, from ingredient sourcing to how the team interacts with customers. The independence means the menu can stay true to its roots, the quality can remain consistent, and the service can reflect the values of the people running the place. The neighbours have spoken — ten out of ten — and that reputation is built on showing up every day and doing the work properly. TenTen Café & Restaurant is the kind of place that exists because someone decided to do something real, and that decision shows in every plate that leaves the kitchen.
