Birmingham’s culinary scene is about to undergo a transformation with the launch of Cylla, a fine dining restaurant offering a unique blend of authentic Greek cuisine and contemporary gastronomy. Situated in the Colmore Business District, Cylla occupies the former All Bar One space within Bruntwood SciTech’s Cornwall Buildings on Newhall Street. Drawing inspiration from the mythical Greek sea monster Scylla, the restaurant promises a dining experience that celebrates the harmonious combination of land and sea.
A Unique Dining Experience Guided by Greek Heritage
Under the leadership of General Manager Adonis Maniadakis, Cylla introduces a sophisticated approach to Mediterranean dining that goes beyond traditional Greek cuisine. “As someone with Greek roots, it has always been my passion to bring Greek culture and fine food to Birmingham,” says Maniadakis. “Cylla will be a one-of-a-kind experience—combining fine dining elegance with the warm hospitality of Greece.”
Cylla’s menu features creative interpretations of Mediterranean classics, with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The restaurant aims to provide a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that allows guests to explore the rich flavors of Greek cuisine while enjoying an elevated dining experience.
Mediterranean-Inspired Mixology Program
Cylla also boasts an innovative mixology program, featuring Mediterranean-inspired cocktails that complement the restaurant’s menu. Expert mixologists craft drinks using traditional Greek spirits and fresh ingredients sourced from the Mediterranean, ensuring that each cocktail enhances the dining experience.
An Elegant and Immersive Interior Design
The interior of Cylla blends modern elegance with subtle nods to Greek architecture, creating a sophisticated environment perfect for intimate dinners or special occasions. Thoughtfully designed to engage all the senses, the space reflects the restaurant’s commitment to offering more than just a meal—Cylla promises an immersive dining experience.
“Cylla represents boldness, courage, and adventure in Greek and Mediterranean fine dining,” explains Maniadakis. “Our goal is to transport our guests to the shores of the Greek islands while pushing the boundaries of culinary creativity.”
A Welcoming Addition to Birmingham’s Fine Dining Scene
Matt Pazos, Retail Commercial Manager for Bruntwood SciTech, expressed excitement about the new addition to Birmingham’s vibrant culinary landscape. “We are thrilled to introduce Cylla to the Cornwall Buildings,” says Pazos. “This innovative concept will bring a fresh and authentic taste of Greek cuisine to Birmingham’s thriving fine dining scene. The Colmore Business District is the ideal location for this unique offering.”
Cylla is set to open in mid-March 2025 and will serve lunch and dinner seven days a week. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence extends beyond its menu, with a carefully curated wine list and impeccable service standards that reflect the legendary warmth of Greek hospitality.
A Stunning Location in the Heart of Birmingham
The Cornwall Buildings, with their blend of historic charm and modern design, offer a perfect setting for Cylla. The space is part of Bruntwood SciTech’s growing tech and digital cluster in Birmingham, which includes major properties like Cornerblock, Centre City, McLaren, and Innovation Birmingham, all of which have recently undergone significant refurbishments.
With its stunning location, exceptional cuisine, and unique concept, Cylla is set to become a must-visit destination for food lovers in Birmingham.
