The Vine
Latest Reviews
The Vine excels in serving excellent Indian cuisine at a reasonable price. The food is always served quickly and presented very well. It is ideal for a pub lunch, or on a match day if you fancy something good to eat before the game.
The menu is varied with a selection of chicken from the grill and curries with excellent home made nans.

I visited The Vine after some 4 or 5 years. My Colleague was visiting West Bromwich and we needed somewhere local place to have a business lunch. I knew he liked to try different cuisines. He had visited the offices on the main road but had never saw this venue previously even though it is only 5 minutes walk from the offices.
From the outside he thought the place was not open and certainly run down in appearance. I told him to keep an open mind as it was deceptive both in terms of decor and the size once inside. The Vine certainly did not disappoint. The place was clean, warm and had a homely atmosphere to it. It was not quite as busy as it had been on my previous visits but there were enough clientele' to give you the impression that people were happy with what they were experiencing. We found the staff warm and friendly and the food to be of very good quality, tasty and value. I could have handled it a bit more spicy but I dare say the staff would have provided a chill or two if I had asked!
I feel the place caters for all types of people and backgrounds - young, older people, family etc... however, I just think people with mobility issues (particularly wheel chair users) may find access a challenge. I think the original building started life as a quaint little back street local pub where people have to negotiate quite steep 3/4 steps at the front entrance and narrow corridors. I am sure there must be an alternative entrance (and staff would be happy to help) but I did not see where this was.

It's a pretty standard pub that does curry. The decor isn't up to much, the drinks are pretty standard and the place doesn't have much character. That said, for football away days it's really good. It's really large inside and the food is surprisingly good. Really good. My dad had a veg chick pea curry which was lovely. They also have a massive BBQ grill set up from which I had a tikka chicken. Very yummy. Staff are very friendly. All in all a mixed bag, I wouldn't go for any reason other than football but for away days it is recommend.

Used to use this place regularly over 20 years ago but had stopped going when they no longer served Premier lager and other new restaurants opened. The first thing i noticed was the fact they still have people shouting out the food order numbers surely this could be improved with either numbers on tables or pagers like they use at the Grove pub.The chicken tikka from the bbq was superb as was the spicy brown dip which still tastes the same. The currys, had a good amount of quality chicken and the nan breads looked and tasted superb. All our group enjoyed a really pleasant evening at The Vine and will definitely be returning but would like to see a couple of choices of quality bitters on offer not just one, Bathams, Enville or Three Tuns would be good.

I was here yesterday to watch my spurs play the baggies. Overwhelmed to find how big the place was. I found on tap cobra which I love. We tried the chicken tikka which was just amazing. All the food looked and smelt amazing in fact and very fast. This is a little gold mine with a fabulous atmosphere with away and home fans enjoying each others company. We managed to park right outside the pub as well. It's so easy to get to straight off the motorway. This away match is a must every season now thanks to the hospitality of The Vine
Thanks guys see you next season.

This is one of the first places that started Indian bbq food.
It has therefore one of the best around but has been pretty average for a number of years as more pubs have taken the mantle. It now seems to be back on track and food picking up again.Nice family atmosphere and great if you want to avoid noisey lager louts.

As you can tell I don't like curry but from my experience, a very clean place and the food was coming out 5mins after order was placed. My friends all love curry and go here regularly!
Very friendly and polite staff

The vine has been going for a very long time the land lord gets happyer every time you visit the curry is good but allthe comments about the staff is because the landlord will not let the staff talk to the customers . What makes a good bar good staff if you treat staff good you get good results.

Thought I'd try here after not going for a few years. As soon as we walked in and went to get a drink the girl at the bar had an attitude, right face on her like it was an effort to serve us!!! Really bad customer service from her and made sure I spoke to another staff member when I went to order my food. The food was good and at a reasonable price but didn't like the shouting out of order numbers every time someone's food was brought out, how about just have table numbers which would be much easier and quieter for the people already eating. The rest of the staff were polite and friendly.

Went here with some friends after hearing alot about it. The service is ok, the staff seem disorganised. The food is ok... Not great, but not bad. The dishes we had from the bbq were well cooked but lacked flavour. The currie's are more like a home cooked jar curry than a proper balti. Not a bad experience but won't be rushing back.

We had been out go karting from work and 16 of us turned up hungry and wanting food. The system for ordering is a pretty straightforward ' go to the bar ', ' go to the grill ' affair depending on which side of the menu you order from.
In about the time it took to walk back from ordering, the food was coming out. And oh, my, goodness was it good. We all ordered separately ( brilliant system for a large group) and within 10 minutes we were all tucking in to wonderful food.
I had the 'Month Special ', garlic chicken curry and it was sumptuous - the sauce hot and flavourful, the chicken so tender, accompanied by a keema naan, I was in hogs heaven - and so reasonably priced too.
Well, well, well worth a visit and can't wait for my next visit - there I'd still a lot of menu to work through :)

One of the first BarBQ pubs in West Bromwich, opened 20-25 years ago. The food is the normal standard and served in a bit of an out of date Bar area.

I come here every week on a Friday lunch with work. The food is tasty, and comes out really quick, (abit too quick to be freshly made). Nonetheless it's tasty. I normally go for the biryani which is about £8 and a huge portion size. It is very tasty. Nice pub would recommend.

it was mine and my partners first time at the vine, the food was brilliant couldn't fault it but unfortunately it was let down by the staff who were so rude.
We went to the bar to order our food and drinks while waiting noone was serving because they were to busy chatting and drinking the beer while there was a bar full of people waiting. She then slammed her drink down when someone commented "are you serving" then started taking the orders but her attitude was really sharp and sarcastic then slammed the drinks on the bar that went on the matts.Like I said I could not fault the food but the staff were so rude and it's a shame for it to be let down like this.

Food was good. But the old asian guy on the bbq is incredibly rude. Needs some customer service lessons.

Please don't miss this place with great tikka in the back and first class, big portion, curries ordered from the bar. Top beers too!
It's not a posh joint so don't expect flock or table linen!:)

It is a real treat coming here, we know we are in for lovely food, well cooked served by a good team. The indoor bbq is amazing, the methi chicken is our favourite and the king prawn claypot has some of the best prawns I have ever had in a curry. My son loves the curry coat, it is all delicious and we have recommended to many of our friends. A real gem, don't miss it !!

By far the BEST food ever! God i love this place, I always have the haryali curry, bullet naan and chicken biryani, the flavours dance in your mouth! Great on martinis too!

Saturday night not the best. The food has huge caloric value which needs to be considered. Beer is really good but food offer really needs thinking about.
