Dads Lane Fish Bar and Restaurant

Probably the best fish and chips in Brum. The chips were perfect and the curry sauce was delicious. Friendly staff and nice seating area. Recommended!

I have visited the establishment a few times now and still have a few more item's to try from the menu and have yet to experience dinning in the resteraunt side rather than the take out side but i have to say that the mini fish , chips and peas and also the donner meat and chips in a tray and also the chicken meat and chip's are on the money and fairly priced. The shop on appearance looks clean and tidy and the service and staff are very welcoming and friendly all in all well worth you paying it a visit when in the area..👏👏👏..⭐⭐⭐⭐'s for now

Best chippy in Birmingham. There are lots of staff so even with long queues due to the popularity of this fish and chip restaurant you always get served hot and fresh food in minutes. Batter is a secret recipe, golden and crispy. The family vibe is something that makes the place 5*. Greek Cypriot owners so they understand their produce more than all the pop up here today gone tomorrows. They've been running this place since the 1980s....

Dined in for a Haddock fish n chips meal accompanied by a coke zero. You get an option of a side either mushy peas or curry sauce. Heinz tartar sauce is on offer and not charged for. All in spent about £15, but I wouldn't say it was all totally worth it. Onto the review now, I got the haddock based on multiple reviews by food critics. The fish was 10/10. The portion size is huge. The taste of the fish with skin on coated with the crispy and airy batter that was less greasy, it was just about perfect. I honestly would've loved some authentic gherkin bits tartar sauce than the cheap heinz version that did no justice to the fillet. The staff was really sweet but somehow don't understand how chips are made. The first time they were cold and soft, second time they were warm but again soft and felt microwaved. Third time they claimed it was fresh but severely undercooked, neither crispy nor cooked, ridiculous. Chips are meant to be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside which can either be achieved by a 25min oven bake at 180 or a double deep frying at low and then high temp. I was ashamed to send my order back the third time so I just took it out and bought it home where I'm gonna cook it well and have. Honestly this place gets 3 stars because my meal was ruined due to just the chips experience. The curry sauce wasn't of any use either. Curry and chips are meant to be a match made in heaven and this place doesn't do justice to it at all. I don't know how this is #1 based on TripAdvisor, I'd definitely not recommend them. Even If I would, I'd suggest go get the fillet and get a takeout on them chips instead of sending them back.

Very nice food and excellent service. Cod and scampi are very fresh and the chips are chunky and fluffy. Mediterranean chicken is a bit too minty but the doner is on point. Very nice seating area next to the main kitchen but also upstairs if you want more of a restaurant feel. Once you are seated a server comes to take your order and food is with you in good time. Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.
