    Had the most amazing dinner at The Mayan with my friend. The food was extraordinary and all the staff were very attentive and the epitome of professionalism. I had the cod and my friend had the lamb shank and we both couldn’t stop raving about our meals. Our starters were exquisite as well.

    Loved everything about the place - please open one in London! And a special shot of tequila with Giannis at the end of the evening was just the thing to end the night!

    Had an amazing Christmas Eve night at The Mayan. The food was delicious and looked too good to eat! loved the taco presentation and the atmosphere was perfect. Special thanks to the manager Giannis, for being so welcoming and making sure everything was perfect for us. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality these days. 10/10, will definitely be back! If you're in Birmingham, you have to try this place.

    Came here in September, with family and friends. Thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch offer platter (see picture). Great value, amazing cocktails.
    Very grand bathrooms, very clean too. Loved the artwork on the walls and the decor in general.
    The food and drinks were of a very high quality, I look forward to returning and would easily recommend without hesitation. Amazing service - our host was a lovely friendly lady who was attentive and very patient. All staff were just as professional which you’d expect from a high end place.

    Had a corporate event which i Had to arrange, everyone at The Mayan made this an amazing experience for all my team (23 people ). They all made sure that I had what I needed and any changes were handled with no issue. food was exquisite, me and my team were very impressed at the presentation and the taste, and the excellent service. A special mention to Mario the floor manager who made sure everything went as it should. Alex who served us mostly was amazing and made sure to check in with me each time to make sure I was happy and all is ok. the others were also very attentive and helped. Definitely recommend highly if you’re looking for fine dining with excellent service. Will be back for Sure.

    Beautiful atmosphere, lively music and delicious food. I’d definitely return. I ordered the empanadas, octopus, lamb, green rice and churros. Everything was fresh and amazing. Staff was so friendly, professional and attentive. I am pained that I didn’t take a picture of the churros. They didn’t look like the pictures here on other reviews. They were only about 1 1/2 inch long and we were given 5 small pieces. The food was good but I would say something like that should have been larger like other customers photos for the amount of money paid. We also had to pay for bread and butter. Other restaurants of this caliber give us unlimited bread and garlic butter.

    Beautiful ambience. Music was a bit too loud, making it difficult to hear…

    Fantastic experience for a celebration meal. Both Erika and Giannis were brilliant on the day. A clean and immaculately presented establishment, you could see the decor was of excellent quality too. We went for a meal at 12:30 and the place was very quiet as we were the only guests there (I assume they are busier during the evenings and weekends). Food was delicious, from the starters to the mains and the drinks were great too.

    The Mayan is an absolutely beautiful restaurant. Our party of 6 (plus one baby) were all visiting for the first time and we all eat out regularly. Without exception, each of us were dazzled by the food quality. One declared his ribeye to be the best he’d had in his life so far. All the dishes taste every bit as good as they look, colourful, imaginative and flavoursome.

    Particular thanks to our server Prachi, who has the ideal combination of attentive professionalism and great people skills. She was brilliant, a credit to The Mayan.

    Being Latin myself the Latin cuisine here is fantastic. We ordered a chicken and one beef empanadas as starters followed by steaks with sides of fries for our main. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection, no faults and no improvements here at all. For our desserts we chose the churros and cheesecake, I believe they make their gelato at home which cannot be missed if you come here. The restaurant is also beautiful. It is a little on the pricier side (all of this came to £180 with service charge) but extremely worth it

    An unforgettable experience. Visited The Mayan for my fiancé’s birthday and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely top-tier – friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel special. Honestly some of the best food I’ve ever had. Every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully presented – you can really tell there’s passion behind the menu.

    The restaurant itself is stunning. The design and decor are unique and stylish, with just the right lighting to create a warm, intimate atmosphere without feeling too dark. It really adds to the overall vibe and made the evening feel that much more special.

    Highly recommend The Mayan for a memorable night out – we’ll definitely be back!

    With its gorgeous Mayan-inspired interiors, The Mayan delivers on aesthetics just as much as it does on flavour!

    The menu showcases the diverse flavours that define Mexican cuisine. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The Brochetas De Pollo (chicken skewers) is a must try!

    The menu offers plenty of variety including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and Halal options. The staff are friendly and attentive.

    While The Mayan is on the pricey side, It's definitely worth visiting for special occasions or date night ✨
