nice food but the staff and service let it down . in the bbq area ordered our food and was told they are closing that area as we were half way through our meal and was expected to move tables mid meal which we then said no . staff took our drinks away when we went to get cutelry and wouldn't given us another one despite only having one sip

Heard about the vine and how it had a good reviews,so we decided to go the family.
The staff were friendly and polite ,but a little on the slow side cleaning the seating areas,I'm going to be honest here,the one waiter used a dirty bar towel to wipe the table,and no cleaning sanitizer spray was not used,there was food debris on the seats and flooring,you had to get your own eating utensils were every customer touched the utensils,we ordered our meal which took around 10 minutes,the balti dish was tasty and freshly cooked.in over all the food was good,but the utensils service needs to be addressed a bit better

Had been recommended this place, we hadn't booked one of our local restaurants & it was Saturday evening. What a pleasant surprise - once we had sat in the conservatory & read the menu on the walls & ordered at the bar. Onion bhaji was big enough to share, chicken curry & a lamb madras with pilau rice & nan in generous tasty portions served very quickly. We will be back to try the indoor barbeque soon.
Highly recommended.

When you approach The Vine from the outside, you wonder whether you've found the right place. But whilst it looks like a dive of a pub in industrial wasteland on the outside, it's wonderful on the inside and the food and prices are superb. We came on a family visit and agreed that the curries were among the best we've had. Very decent service too!

Came here whilst on a business trip with a large group. We all agreed that the food was fantastic. Not only did it taste good, it was very reasonably priced and the portion sizes were generous to say the least. The bar also offered a lot of different ales, beers etc. However, the only let down was the service. Everything felt rushed and not once did any member of staff help with how we were to go about ordering food. The whole group felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff.

The food here is very good and excellent cask ales make the perfect accompaniment. However it does feel rather like you're eating in a canteen. The staff don't help - special mention here of the barbecue staff, who seems to reluctantly serve you and seek every opportunity to talk down to you and to make it worse then get your order wrong!

Visited 2 nights in a row while in the area on business (staying at Park Inn - it's only 5 mins walk)
Don't be put off by the location or the external appearance.Inside the place is clean, has plenty of space (it's like the Tardis inside) and has a good range of drinks an food on offer at reasonable prices.
The indoor BBQ is a novel idea and the food is cooked fresh in front of you.I ate from the grill one night and had kebab, and the next night I had a curry. Both meals were tasty and good value.
Overall a great find tucked away off the main street.

Visited on a Saturday early evening. Easily found a table in the Conservatory bit rather than the Barbeque room, which struck me as a little enclosed and dark. Started at the Barbeque (where else?) Had the famous Chikken Tikka which was cooked to perfection and some Sheek Kebab. I dont know what it is about the Vines Barbeque, but these two dishes are super spicy, perhaps that is part of the attraction. Thouroughly enjoyed them though with the addition of a couple of the green chillis provided at the sauce table. Then moved on to Lamb Rogan Josh with Pillau rice and some massalla chips, together with Chicken Tikka Sag and a nan. Lamb was very tender, and the Chicjen Tikka Sag had a good flavour, however I felt they were both overshadowed by the spice of the starters, so lost some of their flavour I guess. The nan was excellent. Didnt think that the Pillai rice was very good, but the Massalla chips were novel. Hadnt got room for any more, the whole thing came to under GBP30. Still good value although prices do seem to have crept up of late. I would urge anyone who likes curry to give this place a visit, if onlt for that Barbeque experience

Very good, hot and tasty food, with a good selection of beers and ales, staff can be a bit moody but if you had to work Saturday night with everybody else having a good time we may be a bit moody lol.

Cobra on tap and the Chicken Tikka is amazing, worth West Brom being in the PL for alone.

Usual pre match trip to The Vine before playing the Baggies. Great food, good beer and atmosphere, possibly the best away day experience in the Prem. Bittersweet as we won 4-1, but ended up relegated, so no more trips to The Vine for a while :-(

The food here is beautiful, with a good atmosphere! Only problem I came across was unhelpful staff... Not all the staff were unhelpful tho thank goodness. I do recommend eating here, the food dissolves the annoyance of a few bad staff.

As a curry lover, I think if this pub was my local I would be eating curry every night!! I have been to The Hawthorns many times and only found this pub the other night. I would definitely recommend it to any away fan who fancies a pre match meal and/or drink. They have a great selection of curries and BBQ at reasonable prices and I will definitely be back next season. Despite being busy getting served at the bar was not a problem as the staff were friendly and efficient.

staff are really helpful! And very polite :) ... We have a 1 year old son and everyone takes there time to say hello to him and interract with him, the BBQ is amazing... And the main meals are a good portion, seen people complain about the price? You get what you pay for! And if you like a good meal and don't mind paying for it! Then it's perfect :) .. You can always take the rest of your uneaten food home :)

Food was nice, every time I visit here I try to convince myself to go back but never ever do? I found the food to be okay but the ordering system is complicated and rare, curries at the bar as you go in and grill at the bottom of the place?? Overpriced but ok

The vine is a great place for a comfortable night out but also busy and full of atmosphere with quick service good prices and brilliant food. Curry's are varied and plentiful but you can't beat the BBQ food especially the chicken tikka and the fish. A great place to be a rehular

Been coming here for years, but is over priced for average food and beer priced at Birmingham Central. There are now much better places within a 2 mile radius for better food at reasonable prices and beer priced much cheaper. Vines has had it's best days.

Ate at the Vine on Saturday 25 April having previously eaten there 2 weeks previously. Thoroughly enjoyed it on both occasions. First time as s a Sunday lunchtime and I had the chicken clay pot and my husband had chicken tikka rogan josh, shared a pilau rice and garlic naan. We both had a cobra beer to accompany it and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I returned on Saturday with a girl friend. It was 4.30 in the afternoon, we shared a chicken tikka from the BBQ and then ordered a chicken saag and a chicken vindaloo with pilar rice aNd garlic naan. I had a carling cider and my driver friend had a coke. The meal was once again delicious. The pub filled at 5.10 as west brom were playing at home, but there was plenty of staff behind the bar and a great atmosphere in the pub, can't wait to return

Have been coming here for years and the quality never disappoints. Fantastic meat from the Indian barbecue and generous portions of every order. Have had the curries previously as well, which are full of flavour and have lots of meat in them.
Highly recommended whatever the occasion!

having visited twice now I felt I should leave a review,.
I visited with a friend of mine who is Indian and he recommended we eat here, the lamb saag and chicken tikka were perfect, giant naan bread to go with it, just a shame I'm always driving as the local hand pulled beer looks as good as the grub, I've tried most of the curry houses on broad street and none come close.
After reading the comments regarding rude staff I think this is due to the amount of people served, that the ladies just don't have time to be kissing everyone's backside, get in enjoy the drink enjoy the food, love the atmosphere....come back for more
Good job The Vine
