It may be a converted pub, with a small frontage but a big behind, that specialises in Indian food but do not let this stop you going. If you enjoy Indian food then give it a go and I do not think you will be disappointed. It is a 'well kept secret' by many in the area and by those who travel 40 +miles to eat there.

Probably the best pub/restaurant for any away football fans in the Country. The quality of the food is second to none and the price is very good. Despite its deceptive entrance of a small back street pub its like the TARDIS inside but even so when we arrived at 12.30 for a 3pm KO the place was packed and finding a table was imposable but for the grill menu you can eat standing up so no problem. For real ale drinkers get them in early they always sell out.

Amazing Indian in West Bromwich. They have an open barbeque where they cook kebabs and such like. They also had a huge list of curries and are very reasonably priced. I had a tikka kebab at £3.75 and a chicken claypot with massala fries

I have just come back from a two week business trip to Birmingham and with this being the nearest restaurant to our hotel we ate hear a few times. The first thing to note about The Vine is that the place is like the tardis, from the outside it looks like a small pub but once you're inside it is huge! I came here with colleagues and with so much choice on the menu there was no need to have the same thing twice.
The first time we went I had the Chilli Chicken Stir-fry from the Fusion menu as with it saying it was a stir-fry I figured it was probably a nice healthy dish. However when it arrived the chicken was coated in breadcrumbs and I would say the dish was more like a spicy sweet and sour rather than a stir-fry. That being said it was delicious and I would definitely have it again. On our second visit I ordered the Chicken Dhansak with boiled rice, I honestly could not fault it, the chicken was moist and the sauce was full of flavour.For our third trip I thought I would try something from the grill (there is an indoor barbecue area right at the back of the restaurant). I ordered the Piri Piri Chicken which the menu said was pieces of chicken and pepper in a Piri Piri sauce. I went back to collect my meal (as the grill is not waiter service) only to find that the chicken was not in pieces is was a chicken leg and there was no pepper with it. Once back at the table I realised that the chicken leg also had the skin on so pretty much all the marinade and flavour was lost when I removed the skin. Ordinarily I don't eat meat on the bone, especially with the skin on but I decided to give it a try. The chicken itself was cooked well, it was just a shame that most of the flavour had been lost with the skin and that it wasn't as described on the menu as I was really looking forward to it and had I known I would have ordered something else.
That being said if I am ever down that way on business again I will definitely go back. The staff were very attentive, the place was very clean and it was always busy, no matter which night we went. The best bit about this restaurant is it is excellent value for money! I have never found anywhere else where you could get a curry, rice and a glass of wine for around £10! Fantastic!!

Love it here we always have the BBQ I've heard there will be a carpark soon which will be better, staff friendly & if you catch the man that cooks the BBQ on a good day he might even smile but don't expect one off the owner! the food & atmosphere is always good!

My husband had mention The Vine quite a lot as he had been here several times with from work with work colleagues. We came here from our trip to Birmingham Bull Ring Shopping as we had ridden on the Metro and stopped off and restaurant was near to one of the stops.
We had ordered chicken tikka, methi chicken tikka, sheesh kebabs and their fish. Waited 10-15 for order to arrive, drinks ordered separately. When order came they had forgotten the fish the young chap was telling the older chap off maybe because he had forgotten to put the fish on?? So had to wait for another 10 minutes.My son started to eat his chicken and said it was too hot had to get water with ice!. ..... This was a first as my son never had a problem with chicken tikka??? I enjoyed my sheesh kebabs.... thumb up to the chef!! My husband loved his fish once arrived and his methi chicken tikka. Anything we didn't finished was packed in a little takeaway. But must say the taramind sauce was fantastic.... Any chance for the recipe please???
As we went to pay the bill we had noticed that instead of chicken tikka it had masala tikka which is why my son said his was hot!!Overall the cost prices for meal was adequate, we sat were they had the open grill kitchen.

We pop in when we've had to work late, we usually sit in one of the front rooms as I love the history of old West Brom pubs,
lots of choice and you can choose meat or veggie options and choose 'the curry' ... Fabulous idea! if you can't find anything you fancy you're obviously too fussy!!!!
Meals are very quick, hot, fresh and the bread is always superb,
There is a bbq at the back which looks great,
Spent our 'works do' here at Christmas, as I'm local I suggested The Vine, colleagues are still talking about!!!!!!!!! They loved it.

This is now a favourite with me and my work colleagues for a visit after work. The food and the atmosphere are excellent. From the outside it looks like an old fashioned boozer up a West Bromwich side street but when you step inside it is like a tardis. Cosy small drinking areas at the front (original part of the pub) and two large dining areas at the back one with an open grill kitchen so you can see the food being cooked. Extensive curry and grill menus and Indian beer on draft. Cost of a meal including a drink under £10. Main courses are large so think twice about starters. Quick service and everything served fresh, hot and full of flavour. No frills system order curries at the bar and grills directly at the open kitchen area and you get an order number - collect when your order is called. Definitely the best eating place in the area.

Never fails to hit the spot. Been going over 20 yrs. Cheap night and always tastes amazing. Not tried all the curries from sukhis but the barbecue food is great.

Food is always good and delivered quickly, so no rushing your food at lunch time!
Great value too.

Great variety of beers and currys. Indoor BBQ is great too with food cooked in front of you. Very popular locally with families, workers and office people. Great service too.

First time I had been to the vine in West Brom, it was to meet a few work colleagues after work. I was first in, grabbed a drink at the bar and wandered around until I came accross an Indoor grill section at the back of the place. The smell was incredible.
It's a little odd how you order, the grill is grill only and you can only order the grill menu, for everything else you go to the bar in the front, then return to your seat and someone will call your number out and bring it to you.I only ordered some masala chicken and methi chicken from the grill. Within ten minutes it was cooked, I got called over and I picked up the chicken.
It was amazing, incredible, tasty, succulent... Hungry yet? I took the rest to work with me the next day.The guys on the grill are a little odd, but had a good laugh non the less.
So, just to clarify: grill menu, you order at grill. If you want a naan bread, rice etc, you order at the front. I started a tab, it became easier
If I lived closer to the vine, I would be coming here for that chicken multiple times per week.

We popped into The Vine on Saturday evening for a family get together / birthday celebration! There was over twenty of us in total.
We were looked after very well! The food came out together and was fresh and tasty!
Some of my family members were amazed by how fast the food was delivered and the quality of the food!
We all shared the barbeque meats – then had curries to top it up. The vegetarians in the family commented how nice the vegetarian options where. Bar was very well stocked with some nice whiskeys!
Love The Vine! Great to see a family business doing so well in the area! Friendly, clean and a safe/friendly place to bring the family out. Parking can be a little bit of a problem – but talking to the owner he mentioned a Car Park being built soon. Keep up the good work!

What a fabulous place, just like an Aladdin's cave. From the outside looks like an ordinary pub with no frills. Lovely and relaxing atmosphere with good tasty food. Ordered a chicken tikka masala and freshly cooked keema nan, that didn't disappoint.

Having been coming to the Vine for years and there is nowhere quite like it. Indoor barbecue is their specialty, and when we first came many years ago, that was about it. The curry dishes were not that special. Then the main dishes improved dramatically, and the only thing that let them down was the naan bread and chapatis., Guess what, the bread is now first class. Rightly popular, so pick your time to go. They also serve good beer.

Visited for lunch, 2 adults 2 kids. Naively didn't realise it was the 4th round of the FA CUP and WBA were playing at home so parking was a nightmare and the pub was rammed. This didn't effect the experience, the Indian food was delicious, try the shish kebabs fresh off the indoor bbq they're amazing. Just check the football fixtures first and avoid match day, as I don't follow football I had no idea and the pub was so packed by the time we came to leave we couldn't get out with the kids!

Visited the Vine prior to Swansea's match against The Baggies (1-1 draw). Firstly, the place is a Tardis. Looks very small from outside and then it gets bigger and bigger. Some small rooms and also some very large dining areas.
The menu is mostly Indian and the food was gorgeous. I had vegetable curry with pilau rice and my friend had saag chicken. Both were around £7 - excellent value.Plenty of staff at the bar, so even though the pub was very busy, there was little delay in getting served.
The atmosphere was good, both Swans and Baggies mixing and chatting, as it should be. The staff were very friendly.Two real ales on which were kept well but not particularly special on the day (a golden ale and a very pale ale). Probably just down to the fact that I like a darker stronger bitter but I knocked a mark off for that!
An excellent place for pre-match chat, drink and food. Thanks to all at the Vine and I will definitely return next time we play WBA.

We went here prior to away game at The Hawthorns. Friendly, good beer and tikka with naan bread to die for. 5 points given for the occasion and its suitability for pre match eats and beer. No rivalry or bad feeling. I would return tomorrow if it was closer to home!

First ever visit and well worth the wait. There was a lot of choice on the menu and also various lunch time specials. 3 pints, 2 chicken tiķka and salad, 1 masalla fries and a Garlic Naan for £21.85 seems good value to me. Special mention goes to Nikki for her help and we enjoyed the food that much we ordered a takeaway for tea.
Cheers

Stayed at a hotel near by for 2 nights. First night with friends next night as a couple. The 4 of us went to the Vine on Saturday night after reading good reviews. Donot be put off by the outside appearance. The place was bouncing as a home football match had been played. We found a table and 10 minutes after we ordered our food arrived and it was excellent. We all had starters which we shared and all had a different curry dish. It was all really tasty, fresh and hot. It was so good we went as a couple the next night and had the bbq. Beautiful we chose 3 different dishes and shared them. Will deffinately return next time we travel in that area.

Food is beautiful. Have been there a few times with friends, family and partner. I must say that food and drinks are a bit pricey. There git quite a few areas inside where you can sit eat and drink. Can get extremely crowded at times especially when the football is on.
