apart from the starred restaurants mentioned above, "opus at cornwall street", "andy waters", "two cats" and the two asian-style restaurants "lasan" and "asha's" in newhall street were mentioned in the 2017 edition of the michelin guide great britain and ireland. in the 2018 edition, these restaurants were all awarded the newly introduced "michelin plate" ("good cooking. fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: simply a good meal") apart from "two cats" which had closed. "turner's at 69" which had lost its michelin star and "the wilderness" also received the new award. in 2019 the 'michelin plate' was awarded again to all of those which received the 2018 award apart from 'lasan' after aktar islam had moved from the restaurant and 'turner's at 69' which had closed while ben tesh's 'folium', 'harborne kitchen' and aktar islam's new restaurant 'opheem' all received the award, therefore increasing the number of michelin plate restaurants in birmingham to seven.
