The Vine
Latest Reviews
Real ale meets stellar curry in a one-of-a-kind establishment, which has evidently carved out a very popular niche for itself, thank you very much. Anyone staying at the nearby Park Inn hotel would do themselves a great favour by skipping an overpriced, uninspiring meal in the hotel restaurant and taking a ten minute walk to this most unlikeliest of venues. The friendly, welcoming staff, welcoming atmosphere and delicious food, at very reasonable prices, are a winning combination. The goat curry, served on the bone, is not something you will find in your average curry house but is well worth a shout. The naans are the best I have ever had, including some very expensive Indian restaurants in London.

Hadn't been here for some time. A bit up market from 20+ years ago. The starters sheekh kebab & chicken tikka were excellent. Also had a chicken curry which was the best I have had for ages.

Have visited here a few lunch times and always walked out full and pleased with the experience.
The Lunchtime Mixed platter is always a good pick, but I would recommend a sauce with it as I can be dry being mainly meat, good though and always served quickly and piping hot.

Theres always a debate between me & my friends about where has the best grills in Birmingham..The Vine is always a top contender with the open grill cooking in the back! The meat is always cooked to oerfection, while you cant order a pre set mix grill, you can order them seperately & make your own! Cheap drinks too & a great beer garden for the summer days! Would definitely recommend!

good service.Yummy food. Def go back again. Easy to find on a map although at the end of a trading estate doesn't enhance the visit

I went here Saturday with family for a birthday and all I can say Is wow. Do not be deceived by the exterior of this place it is absolutely huge inside. Decor is nicely done and has a big beer garden. What makes this place is the food. It's amazing aromatic lots of variety and the portions are huge! I can definitely recommend anything of the grill or a claypot curry. If your thinking about visiting this place you've got to!

This is my favourite place to eat, and well worth making the 500 mile round trip twice a year to do just that !! The food is second to none, when I lived in the area we ate here at least once a week, prices are fair and the portions are good, and a the BBQ is healthy. Looking forward to my next visit in October

Visited for lunch with a friend as it was his birthday. Again had trouble parking, looks like they are clearing a space for a car park which will help though. Ordered the lunchtime platter for me and a curry with fried rice for my friend, along with a pint and a large coke, total cost £20. Also ordered a chicken tikka to takeaway and they were good enough to get this ready for when we left. Food arrived really quickly which was good as it was our lunch hour, the platter was huge, 6 different types of meat along with chips and sauce, all of them different and tasty. No problems with the curry either and all was lapped up. Really great meal again and I can see why it is always winning curry pub of the year.

I'm very fussy when it comes to curry. I am often , left disappointed. Spicy is often mistaken for flavour. The vine blends both to perfection, at a reasonable price. The best part though is the barbecue, with the traditional cry of the chef of "10 minutes", when you have selected the skewers you want barbecued.
The beers although not real ales, are verygood and well kept.This TARDIS like pub/restaurant is not to be missed. Family friendly.
One word of caution when West Brom are playing at home, you wont be able to park and it is packed to the rafters. I personally avoid it on these days.Do your taste buds a favour eat here.

Busy local pub worth going to before going to the hawthorns. Quite busy but a very friendly crowd in the pub. Solid selection of beers but could do with a few more local

We have been visiting this restaurent for quite sometime now and since few months they have increased the price drastically which has now reflected in less clientele as seen during Friday's and Saturdays. Previously it was very difficult to even get a seat during Friday's and Saturdays but now it is empty. The food is of good quality but not worth the price though. BBQ food has also increased which is ridiculously high. Many similar restaurents are there in and around with same or better quality food now and unless the owners take notice of this and change the price this restaurent will soon close down inspire of serving good food.

I've been going there for years, I first went with friends from work and now I take my whole family there. We don't eat curry anywhere else, I live 20 minutes drive away and I drive there for takeaways. It's a family friendly place where you can enjoy a great meal and a pint aswell. It has its traditional pub area and a be area at the back. We eat there at least once a month. If I had the money I would buy the place.

This truly is an unassuming pub from the outside! You would never believe the food that comes out from the kitchen! It's always piping hot, tastes fantastic and costs very little.. What more could you want from a curry house mascaraing as a pub! It's a nice atmosphere with a locals vibe.. In a lunch time it can be three deep at the bar but your curry still only takes 15 min to come out, they are prepared and very equipped to deal with big parties who only have an hour for lunch.. You can also take your time and have a few beers if you want. I go when ever the opportunity presents its self.. They cater for vegetarians too, kids meals or British classics for Indian non eating people with in the party too.

The food is very good but there are now a number of similar pubs with the same quality of food locally where the customer service is far better.There seems to be a " can't be bothered attitude" by some staff.This was never the case in the past and I believe it is going to reflect in the number of people using the Vine.
I hope this is taken as useful feedback and not just a moan.

The food in the restaurant was of good quality however I didn't like how you had to order off a board by the till. I also felt that it was too busy and noisy for me to return again.

Simple Indian food Cooked well at decent prices.
The Vine is located in a corner of west Bromwich from outside looks abit rough but inside it is ok, there are plenty of tables and chairs.
Tried a few different dishes and must say the flavour's are well done. A great place for some nice traditional Indian food.

Went with a friend from work for a quick lunch and chat. The staff were friendly and the choice of food on offer excellent. Not overblown with the layout as it feels a bit like a café. All in all though a very good way to spend an hour.

Was really looking forward to this place as it was recommended. The first appeal was that it doesn't serve halal meat, as most asian eateries are halal only, so we are limited to fish dishes. To start with the entrance to the place is a bit off putting as it looks like someones home! But this didn't deter us as we're interested in the food. We went for lunch and ordered two mixed platters and a lamb jalfrezi. Now the worry thing was that the food came out really fast, i mean in 5 mins or less. Now this would be ok if the bbq was on but for lunch that section of the place was closed. So this made us concerned that the food was part pre-cooked and not fresh. Thats exactly what it was, you could tell the meat on the starters was cooked/reheated as the meat was really tuff on the outside dry on the inside. The lamb curry again was poor as it tasted like a western curry from a non authentic place. The chips also were bad! good points staff were OK, the nans where great as they were fresh, the sheek kababs nice. overall great let down on massive scale.....save your money and go some where else. poor poor food.

I love curry and have been to a fair few Indian restaurants in my time, but this place has to be top of my list! The BBQ offers something different to any other curry house I know and the curries are always delicious. My favourites are the Tikka Massala - which has a bit of extra kick and is simply the tastiest I've tried anywhere - and the Biryani. And you can't beat it for value - huge portions without the huge prices. Being a curry pub - it always has a buzzing atmosphere too which is quite unique. Overall, much better than your average Indian restaurant!

Honestly can say this place is flawless!!
The Indian BBQ at the back is unbelievable and the meals cooked to order. Taste is just fantastic!
The set meals are fantastic as well and the value of the place is literally unbelievable I had to ask the bar lady if she had forgot to put on the beer!
Starter, Main, bread and rice and 4 pints under £25

Very busy restaurant/pub - we were looking for somewhere within easy access to the motorway without having to pay motorway services prices. It was definitely inexpensive and the food was OK (we had korma, rogan josh and tikka massala) but the environment was horrible. Very busy, very noisy, not somewhere to eat and relax - but ok just to make sure that the kids had food as a reasonable price. Not likely to go again though - will find somewhere else next time or just get sandwiches from the service station.

We arrived after a gruelling journey and read about The Vine on tripadvisor and thought we would give it a try just as we needed to eat and it was within walking distance. On entering it looks like a corner street old pub but to our amazement it is like the tardis from a small pub at the front to a massive eating establishment which seems to go on forever. The staff were very polite and extremely helpful and accommodating . The menu was varied catering from curry lovers to more conservative tastes. The barbecue skewers were excellent and the curries to die for. The service was quick and friendly.
We would definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

I came in this weekend with my family for an afternoon lunch and I must say I was actually amazed, the pub just goes on and on. The food was cooked beautiful and left our taste buds wanting to try more! The young girl behind the bar was so polite and helpful and interacted with our children which for a busy pub is excellent service. I was told about this place by numerous friends and family and shall definitely be returning again , I got told the pub is usually rammed and was a bit nervous bringing young children in but for a Saturday afternoon it was perfect for us. Only downside is the menus on the boards, it would be nice to sit at the table and look through one
