I tried the chefs special and it was amazing! Chicken was perfect and the good was out in minutes. The staff were lovely and so were the people around us. The garlic naan will definitely keep the vampires at bay. Overall a great place to eat!

I was really looking forward to having a curry in the vine before watching my team play at West Brom, having done the same two season ago. Sat down with some Baggies fans who had eaten and checked what the procedure was which was order at the bar and food brought to you. When I got to the bar I was told the only food that was being served was the barbecue due to difficulty getting food to tables on a matchday: as a non meat eater I ended up with chips and naan bread for my lunch. Nothing wrong with what we got (nice bread average chips and no ketchup in sight) but had really been looking forward to a proper curry like last time.
I later checked on the pub website to see if there was a mention of the menu not being served on matchday but could find no reference to this and on the way out at just gone 2 p.m noticed a plate that looked like non barbecue food had been served (I could have been wrong). I suggest the pub makes their policy on matchday menu clearer on the website, especially as there is an FAQ section that I had specifically checked the day before.
On the plus side atmosphere in the pub itself was good and home fans friendly, mixing well with visitors and it didn't take very long to get served for food or drink.

Great variety of food, choice of BBQ food or numerous choices of main Indian dishes,
Service is very good and even at the busiest times the wait for food is not long at all.
Plenty of seating available.

I've been going the Vine since 2011 and the indoor curry barbecue is out of this world. Better than anything you could ever get from Brick Lane and at affordable prices.

Third time here after baggies football game and always very good. Strongly disagree with comments regarding price _ almost half what is common in most restaurants (max £10 per head) and very tasty and fresh. Friendly with a wide range of locals and visitors - definite place to visit before or after a west brom game and free parking nearby....

The outside does not do justice to what you get once inside.
The food was amazing had the lunch platter food was delicious and service very good.
Would definitely recommend a lunch time visit and I will return with family/friends.

Food ordering is simple You go to the grill you order what you want off barbie and go back 10 mins later to collect
The chicken tikka is amazing Last night for my main I tried the chilli honey chicken stir fry
The chicken was tender and melted in the mouth My only criticism would be too many onions for my liking

Went to the vine after a while on a Sunday...I had a very nice relaxed drink(s) and meal in the side room "lounge". Chicken tikka masala with naan, sheekh kebab, chicken tikka and chicken claypot with naan was exceptionally flavoured.
Each pint of carling lager was freezing cold and was very enjoyable to drink...between 5 of us we all enjoyed a stress free few hours.Unfortunately no photos due to stress free period, however I'm sure the vines post have many pictures to make you want to go.

We have been visiting regularly for years and have even driven from a Saturday shopping trip to Birmingham to have lunch.
We tend to have 2/3 items from the BBQ and have never been disappointed, the food is consistently excellent and is definitely a favourite of ours, although we do avoid matchdays (WBA home games).We have just returned from a Sunday afternoon visit and have found everything to be as good as ever.
Regarding the BBQ staff which some reviews criticise - we have never had a problem. The older guy has been there for years and is a bit of a character. We have never found any of the staff at the Vine to be rude in all the years we have been using it. It's a unique place to go and others have copied the concept but not to the same standard. The Vine will continue to be one of our favourite places to eat.

Used the Vine frequently this year, curries are reliable, not as spicy as some would have you believe, but still great. Usually have a curry rice and Naan of some description, always good value, quick to be served, tasty and filling. Hotter the better, yet to try the grill as I'm working my way through the curries at the moment!
Good food at a reasonable price - what more do you need?
Oh and the beer is well kept with a reasonable choice too.
Will be eating there the next time I'm in West Bromwich

Called in on way back from hospital. Good menu reasonable value for money. Ordered 2 starters to share chicken pakora and veg samosa. Plenty to share. Ordered 2 curries chicken Rogan josh and garlic chicken. Good portion sizes ended up taking some home. 1 nan between 2 as large portion. Food looked lovely from bbq area although we didn't order any will try on next visit.

Found this place online - actually, it's probably the nearest place to eat to where I am staying - The Park Inn Hotel. The special was a Lababdar, which I tried the lamb version. Apparently, Lababdar means a strong desire for something and complete surrender to it. So I had it with some pilau rice. I know, it's a bit basic, but hey, when you are eating alone and don't want a takeaway, well it's the next best thing to eating at home. Well service was friendly, food arrived quickly and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed my sample of the west midlands. I think the place is quite popular with locals.

Great value Great food. Don't expect anymore than basic canteen style rooms. It's all about the FOOD and pub drinks. Chicken Tikka to die for and portions are very generous. NB children welcome and my youngest enjoyed sausage egg and chips. I'll be back.

I returned to this very popular restaurant last evening Sunday 9th July and I was pleased to see the standard had not dropped.
There is now a car park situated at the rear of the building which is a godsend. but it has increased the prices to pay for itI once again had Chicken tikka from the BBQ as a starter and a King Prawn Curry as a main course. they were both excellant

Where better to go than a place that serves the best chicken tikka and the best curry's.
Ordered chicken tikka. Methi chicken. Masala chicken from the bbq. And a lamb curry rice and keema naan and chicken tikka Masala and rice. Drinks for 3 of us from the bar. Total bill £48.Excellent service as usual. Fab food. Exceptional value for money.
We travel 45 minutes to get there. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

This place offers great tasting Indian food. In different ways.
There is an open grill where great tasting grilled food, marinated in traditional Indian flovours, can be ordered.Other more traditional dishes can also be ordered from the bar.
Drinks are also competitively priced.My colleague and I visited four evenings in a row whilst working away from home.
I would definitely go again if I was on the area.

Have seen this pub/restaurant many times as I pass it on the way to a friend but have always been put off by its appearance and apparent small size located on the corner of a street which consists of business units ( though there are houses across and up the road opposite ) but I had time to spare so went in .
It was far bigger than I expected , some secluded areas for those who had come for a drink but a big area for tables for diners . Already quite busy though it was still early evening . Also much to my surprise a very good menu with plenty of Indian dishes to chose from , as I knew I was going to be eating later I just had a pint and a starter . Will visit again when I have more time to spare.
Décor a bit tired , toilets clean .
No website so it is only word of mouth which can promote the Vine , as it is well off the beaten track . Even many locals won't know about it

The food in this place is amazing, Tikka lovely, Madrass lovely.
The special curry powder you can sprinkle over your food is amazing.But the staff are absolutely shocking, bar staff are ok, but the people who work on the grill are terrible, no manners or anything.
Service goes a long way!

We live in South Wales and regularly make the trip to Birmingham just to eat at The Vine. We have nowhere like this, as far as I'm aware, in Wales. We always eat from the grill, exceptional value for money and perfectly cooked in front of you on a really charcoal barbeque. There are several different types of chicken, pork chop etc. We always have the Masala Chicken, it's REALLY spicy and tender. We were a party of three so we had three portions of the chicken (1 Masala, 1 Methi and 1 Tikka) accompanied by a side salad, 2 bullet Naan (with chillies) and 1 Peshwari Nan. The bill was around £21 - unbelievable value for money. It is served on small paper plates, with a no-frills approach but I don't think I've ever tasted better. Gonna have to make an excuse to visit again soon I think!

Well worth visiting for a curry meal and drink. The parking on residential streets is busy but still within walking distance. Clear range of food and everything was on served our table within five minutes. The staff are all very helpful.

Work down the road and visit here during a lunchtime around once a month.
Great service and food. Always on your table within 5 mins. My usual was the dopiaza or claypot. Now I go for the delicious lunchtime special!
As it is a residential area, have often found it hard to get a parking space nearby, but noticed recently they now have a car park at the side.
