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.

It's a known fact......I love Curry, so do my in laws; and it was because of them today that we found the Vine in West Bromwich. Normally you go to an Indian Restaurant, order a ton of Lager, poppadoms and you sit down at a table with a crisp white table cloth waiting for your waiter.
How totally different this place is......
You get outside and you look at the front and you think to yourself "What a dump" but when you get inside it's like walking into the Tardis! It's all fresh and new and loads more room as you keep walking. It has more of a pub type atmosphere and you order your food from the bar and someone brings it to you. We ordered and our food was ready and out in about 5 minutes which was pretty good.
I'm a creature of comfort when I go for an Indian as I've learnt the hard way on many an occasion so I tend to stick to the same things
- Chicken Tikka Masala
- Mushroom Rice
- Keema Naan
This I ordered and I must say it was one of the cleanest looking things I've had, this I mean in the sense they've not used a whole ton of colouring in the food and it tastes really fresh. We had that and shared a starter of Chicken Tikka pieces off of the grill which was really fresh and proper tasting.
My Wife had a Chicken Keema Curry and Masala Chips which is an odd combo but tasted extremely good and together with drinks cost no more than £20!
Had no room for dessert but had a great time, look forward to going back again :)

Go for the food not comfort or ambience, waiting for a table is a pain however that is because this place is popular and always busy. Good prices, excellent food and good service

Good food and nice atmosphere. Very reasonable priced. Eight of us had drinks and food and the bill came around 140.

I was staying in a local hotel and fancied getting out for the evening. I looked on Apple Nearby and found this place. Was it a curry house was it a pub? Sid it give it a go I thought.
Bingo!!! It's everything real ale pub, curry house and indoor BBQ. Food is excellent I went for the special Goat Curry. Fantastic on the bone sweet succulent and spicy.
Great mix of people in gave it a great atmosphere as well. It's not just a pub, it's not a restaurant it's a bit of everything. Thank you Apple Nearby!!! Thank you The Vine!!!!!

The Vine is an amazing place. From the outside it looks like your typical real ale boozer but as soon as you step inside and get a waft of the food you know you've found somewhere a bit special. Head towards the back of the pub and you'll find an extension this houses a load of tables, a selection of menu boards (so much choice!) and the BBQ area where they do a selection of tandoori snacks - including massala fish and smoked trout.
It's hard to know where to start with the curries - you can create your own or opt for one of the chef's specials. There's also an extensive selection of veggie courses and a good choice of extras.
The only real complaint I have is the fact that I felt so stuffed afterwards it was quite a struggle to finish my beer.It's cheaply priced and the staff are nice, cant wait to try again.

We booked a table for four between Christmas and New Year, to include two wheelchair users, and the owners could not have been more helpful in ensuring that the visit went really smoothly. First of all, the staff are extremely helpful, recommending the specials. We opted for chicken biryani, curried lamb shank and the chicken curry prepared in a ceramic pot, all very authentic and delicious - the owners themselves are British-Indian. We had not been prepared for the size of the pub, which was frequented by a great mix of people and many families with young children. There was a pleasant family atmosphere, but small rooms off the main pub - you can eat anywhere you like, apparently - ensure that you can have privacy if you want. Toilets seem brand-new and are spotless.
Full marks for the food, and also for the flexibility of the staff for helping two wheelchair users into the pub without fuss. We'll be back!

Bournemouth played West Brom so we arranged to meet in the Vine for a pre-match drink. From the outside it looks tiny but it is huge inside. They have a good range of drinks, hand pulled beer which suited us. The best thing is the food. They have an amazing Indian menu with a BBQ and do homemade naan breads and it is superb! Plus a friendly atmosphere for a pre-match drink.

6 of us called in for a curry tonight, excellent as always, lamb madras with mushroom rice was superb, mushroom and spring onion in the rice is gorgeous.We call in a few times a year and usually have bbq but just fancied a curry tonight, bbq is probably the best around and very nice restaurant now Suki has renovated.
Busy on WBA match days but to be fair it's nearly always busy, parking on surrounding streets, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Met some friends, decided to go for curry. Excellent value and was delicious. We particularly liked the positive attitude toward wheelchairs.
Will definitely go again

Following recent closure of Morrisons restaurant we found Vine website & visited with wife at 12.45 on West Brom match day. We were seeking a sit down meal. But found The Vine does not take bookings. Rather it is first come first served. Place looks small from outside but is cavernous inside. After entry up steps passed side rooms with all seats taken. Went through to first bar at end of long room full of people including Bournemouth supporters. Again no seats. On through into larger room again bursting at seams with no available seats. Finally went through doors to partial outside area with most tables taken.
We bought a drink & sampled some BBQ food standing up. Left very disappointed.

TBH used to visit regular but nowadays seems that the prices for tikka are on the up. Never been into there currys as they tend to be a bit on the greasy side. Still it's a clean place tho I suppose!

Another good night out in the Vine, good food and drinks all you need from a pub these days. Went on a Sunday evening so wasn't too full and got a table easily.

I can't praise the vine enough I've been coming here since I was a little kid with my dad and the food has never changed. The food is amazing, and the mixed grill is the best I've ever tried! Great prices and nice atmosphere, perfect get together for friends!
