My partner and I discovered this place and we love it. The sangria pitch is a must !
The food is quite decent, the portions might need an update but apart from that it’s a lovely place
Love the fact that every waitress speaks Spanish.

Grand Central is slowly becoming my favourite place in the city to have a good meal. With so many options, many of which are new-ish to Birmingham (at least the central parts), I’m spoilt for choice whenever out and about in the area.
Tapas Revolution was on my radar for a while. The day I finally decided to eat there, it was packed with the lunch hour crowd. So, I waited a good 45 minutes before approaching the place where I was escorted to the “bar” area for a seat.
The menu at Tapas Revolution is filled with Spanish classics with quite a few specialities that makes eating here for the experimental foodie a joyful experience.
My meal consisted of the following:
Arroz N. - Flavourful squid inked black rice with prawns and squid. Lovely distinct taste and definitely one of the specialities here.
Tortilla de Patatas - My least favourite, but still worth a bite. The classic Spanish omelette with potatoes and onions, could have been for me slightly softer.
Aceitunas Manzanilla - Good old Andalusian green olives that go well with whatever you’re drinking.
Pan de la Casa - Beautiful taste to what seemingly sounds simple.
Pazo de Mariñan Godello Treixadura Albariño - A lovely white that’s perfect with the black rice as recommended in the menu.
It’s not the cheapest meal you’ll have at a “train station” but when you consider the ingredients, the freshly prepared food, and overall pleasant aura of the place, I feel Tapas Revolution is definitely a wonderful Spanish culinary experience.
Incredibly, I had not been to Tapas Revolution prior to this visit. I don’t know why; I bloody love the food of Spain. In fact, thinking about it now, I haven’t been to any of the Spanish restaurants in Birmingham (bar the excellent El Borracho pop up at 1000 Trades). I am a disgrace. I hold my head in shame. Now this means that I can’t directly compare Tapas Revolution to its local competition, but what I can do is tell you that at times it transported me back to Valencia, where the food and wine are plentiful. Oh, and owner Omar is dishy. It’s little wonder they have his face everywhere.
