Excellent service, food at my table in less than 10 minutes & it was piping hot. Had a breakfast/brunch & they happily swapped out 2 items & gave me a choice of replacement. Food was excellent too

I never fail to be pleasantly surprised when I find a good meal in airports. It can be hit or miss finding something for every palate, and even more than that, something that won't cost you an arm and a leg that you could have prepared at home for dirt cheap (see: airport pub grub). With that said, when my coworkers and I arrived at the airport after a long day in Birmingham, only to find that our flight was MEGA delayed, we began looking for food in hopes of killing time and lifting our spirits. Giraffe, happily enough, was just the ticket.
The menu is surprisingly extensive, and for me the kicker was having more than the "FINE, here you go" one token veggie meal that some restaurants seem to provide so begrudgingly. In fact, all the veggie offerings sounded quite tempting, and were more than just your boring ol' risotto. The food arrived promptly and sure, it's still airport food, so don't expect Michelin Star presentation here. But it's colorful and hot and seems like it didn't come from a bag in the freezer, so there you go! My coworkers and I all agreed in the end that the offerings were pretty solid all around. (3/3 botanical gurus agree!)
Service was prompt and friendly. Food was quick and tasty. Atmosphere was about as good as it gets (re: airport). Cost was about what you'd expect: higher than you would normally pay out in your neck of the woods, but low enough that you don't feel positively robbed by the end. So there you have it, folks. If you're finding yourself with a grumbly tummy in the Birmingham airport, I reckon the Giraffe is worth a visit!
Very very pleasantly surprised. I know it's a massive chain owned by an even bigger chain in the form of Tescos, but they served me up a tasty meal. I had always wondered about what giraffe would be like. Brightly coloured and with a massive bistro style menu and I finally got to check it out this week whilst I waited for my flight home.
The service was super quick and friendly. Food wise I had a chicken Schnitzel with mash and it was lovely. The schnitzel was big and tasty, the mash was buttery and well seasoned. It really was a great plate of food. Pricing was ok to, not overly expensive as many menus usually are in airports as they have a captive audience.
All in a good experience and worth a visit if you have time to kill and are hungry while at the airport.
Great food, amazing ambiance, fast service, not very buzzy however that is the only downside.
Big bold n bright, that's the food and the decor. Giraffe is a most welcome addition to the departure gate at Birmingham a International. I had the Tunisian Roasted Veg & Feta Salad, £9.95, no complaints, fresh, hearty, flavourful n fast. Lovely service, not to fussy and they turn orders around fast. I sat at to bar, great if you're flying solo or if you need charging point, you can plug in both USB cables or standard plugs. A refreshing change from pub food n burgers, I'll be back.
The manager was so lovely, chatty & welcoming, really loved how she communicated with her staff as well.
Food, drinks and service excellent.
Would highly recommend ❤️
Fantastic service, the waitress was polite, friendly, also had a chance to charge up my phone. Food and drink was tasty. Happy customer.
The service industry is very friendly and the environment is also very good. I recommend this restaurant when waiting for your flight!
Main/only problem is with the prices but that's to be expected given the location is at an airport.
Good service, food and portion sizes.
The Birmingham Airport Giraffe was very pleasant. I was greeted promptly and with a smile, service was on point, food and drink delicious. I had the chicken tacos with fries and the pomegranate iced tea. Yum!
Stopped here for breakfast before our flight to Amsterdam. Service was quick. Staff were friendly and asked if we had any allergies. The breakfast was fantastic. Although the scrambled eggs looked a bit runny they tasted fantastic. Really enjoyed the food. Will definitely eat there again.
Giraffe at Birmingham International.
Friendly and attentive staff who were welcoming as well as knowledge about their GF food options.
Kitchen has a separated prep areas and a clear menu of what was available.
Clean restaurant and tables.
Would recommend and will be back.
Loveliest staff in an airport ever! It’s quite spacious and good range of food. Besides the burgers & pub food, I want something a bit more healthy so this is the only choice. I opted for the chicken katsu curry. The ambiance is nice. This is how the restaurant looks like half empty. The waiting time was about 20min for the food. The staff helped filling my water bottle for me. She even a few ice cubs in there which is such a nice touch.
Amazing Korean chicken and ribs. Great service and vibe. We’re we’re served by Iolanda.
This is the start of my holiday. Once I get through all the baggage stuff, checking in and security it’s lovely to sit down here and get a coffee and a breakfast. The staff are very helpful and efficient. The food is very good and always served with a smile. It’s a really nice place to unwind ready for our holiday.
1st time eating here. Excellent service and ambience. Ordered a burger, sweet potato fries and a side salad
Really lovely breakfast, second time here visited last year, very attentive service from Antonio our server, thank you! Will be back again in the future!
Fantastic experience. Thank you to all the staff and management especially Pauline who were amazing. Great food and atmosphere with amazing customer service. THANK YOU
Brilliantly friendly staff, and great coffee.
The perfect start to the day, and my holiday.
Keep up the great work guys 😀
We ordered the big English breakfast and the giraffe brekkie hash. Food was hot. The hash brown and mushrooms was a little over cooked . So 1 star lost for that but it Came super quick. Only down side is the breakfast doesn’t come with toast so you have to pay £3 extra for it. Service was good left us to it really. Would recommend as eaten here before with no problems :)
Lovely way to start our holiday. Very spacious, friendly atmosphere. Very quick service. Lovely hot food, served quickly - meaning there was no rush before our flight. Very friendly staff, to both us and our children. Would always go here pre-flight now - top service. Thank you.
