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

Fantastic little find tucked away in West Brom, well worth a visit to sample the amazing food on offer.
Looks tiny from the frontage but the restaurant can seat a lot towards the rear of the building. Great choice of food & heat levels, fresh tandoori starters cooked to order at the rear. We keep returning again & again.

We visited this place as it was recommended to us by friends. We finally got round to trying this place out and boy what a lil gem to be found, from the outside it only looks small but once you step into the place you find out how big the place is.
The food is cooked beautifully and the chef at the grill is a wonderful man really helpful and has a pleasant personality.The staff are lovely and work really hard.

A great pub with wide choices at very reasonable prices. Take care on the entrance steps which are a bit uneven but wiorth getting to the top.

My son recently celebrated his 16th BIrthday and by his choice he wanted to go to the vine, therefore we went with our five year old daughter.First impression of exterior did not put us off, on entering we were greeted by the team and told us what we need to do regards ordering etc.After deciding on a safe choice of ChickenTikka all round, our little girl had a jacket potatoe children's menu I couldn't see however they do English dishes which is great for non adventurous little ones.Our chicken Tikka was lovely and very generous with portions.The naan and the extras we ordered were all lovely too, you certainly can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients.The surroundings were also tastefully done and not too fussy, the toilets were immaculate also.A great new find for our family thank you we will be back and try something different

Popped in for a pint whilst on a business trip. To be honest given the expansive menu selection i did not expect much. I thought it would just be standard pub grub. However, after ordering the food arrived in super quick time and the price was more than reasonable.
Great tasting food and well presented. A few Indians eating Indian meals in this pub has got to be a great sign. Worth a visit

The best place to go for either chicken biryani with lentil soup or a grill. Big screen TV to watch any big games, a beer garden, friendly atmosphere. However would not go there if I fancy a curry. The layout of the place is very cosy and we come here very often. Can be a struggle to park on a busy day.

I have reviewed the vine before giving it a 2 star review. They say hindsight is 20/20 and whilst I believe my initial review may have been somewhat candid, at that time it was true. Since my first review I have visited the vine on numerous occasions. I cant knock the taste of the food, service is quick and to an extent I can understand the paper plates and location of the menu board. This place has improved, even to the point my recommendation of "give it another go" is being expressed to friends or family who have previously been disappointed. Got to give the vine credit it must be tough to keep standards high in such a busy place.

Discovered this place recently and have been back a few times.
Everything we've tried there has been excellent - but the Chicken Tikka from the BBQ and the Naan Breads deserve a special mention.
The King Prawn Masala also hits the spot.
If you're in the area and feel like Indian Food - don't hesitate - just go!
The location is odd, in a street that is more 'industrial estate' than anything else, but don't let that put you off.

Looking at the entrance to The Vine you wonder if it's safe to enter - it strikes you as a really old fashioned, tiny, locals boozer. When you get over the threshold it opens up into an expansive, airy Indian restaurant with superb food. After working out the somewhat byzantine menu / ordering system you're very glad you made the effort as the food is quick and excellent. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!

First impressions when we turn up was oh dear !! but don't be fooled by the outside the food was awesome and the staff friendly the place is like a tardis its a huge venue and very good value for money.
I'd recommend the clay pot curry and the BBQ tikka chicken as a starter yum yum.
We'll be back.

The exterior looked tiny and very traditional old pub with a couple of rooms at the front but has a a large airy conservatory with the bar. This has a menu on boards down one wall for curries,rice, poppadoms which you order and pay for at the bar. There is a very large area further back where you order tikka,ribs seekh kebab and naans.-They say 10 mins to come back to collect and pay separately allow 15! I enjoyed this and didnt bother with a curry, had another tikka portion after an hour. Very spicy ,delicious and only 4.25. Staff were fine , perfectly polite , lovely chatty young man at the bar stood out. Husbands curry and rice was a really large portion which could have fed 2 easily and they also did chips for those that like them. Would have given 5 stars if the system of ordering from 2 different areas had been explained as it took some head scratching and feeling a bit stupid asking staff twice what to do

A large group of us went for food to which i must say was well organised and the food quickly and promptly served ...... but after our group left 3 of us decided to stay for drinks only to be met by a rude tired looking barman his attitude was disgusting and was rather rude to say the least so my handy hint would be dont ask for coffees ect as it obviously causes them great distress and stop of at mcdonalds instead x

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.
