Luxor lounge | Shisha | Coffee | Mocktails | Grill food | Burger | Restaurant | Dessert | Birmingham

You're heading down Stratford Road in Sparkbrook and you want somewhere that does everything properly—shisha that doesn't taste like burnt rubber, coffee that's actually decent, and food that goes beyond the usual. Luxor Lounge is that place. It's a proper sit-down affair with the kind of relaxed atmosphere where you can spend three hours over a shisha and a burger without anyone giving you grief. The grill work is solid, burgers are meaty and unpretentious, and they take their mocktails seriously enough that you won't feel like you're drinking squash. Then come the desserts—these aren't afterthoughts, they're the reason people come back.
