A great pub once you are inside it is amazing the curry goat is to die for one of the only places to serve Indian curry goat it is a little pricey but it is worth the price... The BBQ is amazing freshly cooked and food not too spicy... Drinks are good value and the cobra is amazing on tap

Love this place.
Looks like a no frills boozer from the outside but once you step through the doors you are welcomed by the friendly staff and the smell of the gorgeous food this place has to offer.
The refurb in the back room has been money well spent and the place is always kept clean and tidy.
Great quality, Very reasonably priced food and drink, great staff, Indian BBQ at its best.
Have been here many times over the years and introduced family / friends will continue to do so.
Keep up the good work :)

A firm favourite of ours lunch times and evenings. Fantastic food every time. Great value for money. Staff are very friendly. Cannot fault.

Tucked away in West Bromwich and sitting on the corner of a quiet back street sits a small pub. It looks nothing from the front, its small and old, but step inside and you will be rewarded for your endeavor. At first glance the pub looks to be a typical old back street boozer, but as you step inside it just goes on and on, till eventually you reach a fully equipped barbecue area.
To reach the barbecue you will need to pass a fully stocked bar where friendly staff are able to offer first class ales - very nice too. By then you will also have noticed a range of blackboards listing an mouthwatering range of Indian dishes.
I had the goat curry with rice. Generous portions and a taste than will definitely need to be experienced again in the very near future.
Well worth a visit and not too hard on the pocket, but please leave some for me...

We've eaten here alot over the years most of the staff are friendly but it wouldn't hurt the owner to smile or say hello to customers:) we've tried curries & BBQ both are very good! it gets very busy weekends so if there's a party going I'd recommend booking, I can see how people that haven't been before get confused what you can order at bar or BBQ but once you've been u'l keep wanting to go & it isn't rocket science to order BBQ, chips or nan at the BBQ everything else at the bar.

I've been meaning to eat here for ages. A friend of mine has recommended it many times, & he's not the easiest to please.
Finally made it tonight, & what a treat. It's a cross between a cafeteria, a pub, & an Indian.
The food is super tasty, the service is quick, & the prices are very fair. I will be back.

been a long standing favourite - especially when the kids were littel. Anyway, we hadn't been for a good while so thought we'd drive over (about 40 mins away by car).
Wow! It's been done out at the BBQ end - very nice, same old favourites available plus the usual curries from the kitchen. A good evening, reminiscent of the good ol' days when we were up here a couple of times a month for any occasion with all our mates - in those days there was always an average of about 10 of us though often up to double that! We probably drank too much and made a tad of a nuiscance of ourselves... now we are all much (much) older with grown up kids of our own...
Still, brought back great memories and food just as we remembered.

This has to be one of the best places to eat in the West Midlands. Visitors are always surprised at what they find here. One of the most amusing aspects of eating at the Vine is watching peoples faces as they see what appears to be a fairly normal looking British Pub and what they find after stepping into the tardis.
This really is an experience. With a very comprehensive menu and friendly staff it is always a pleasure to eat out here. The food is without doubt very well presented and a real culinary delight. The chefs here definately know their food.
Now the Vine is not your branded posh high street restaurant. Far from it. If anything it is a bit rustic but then that only adds to the pleasure and the atmosphere of the establishment. When it comes to value for money The Vine excels again. It really is very good value for money.
I would definately recommend this restaurant. If you live in the West Midlands or are visiting the area you have to visit the Vine. This is as good as it gets!

One of my favourite places to visit a good meal with a pint...
A pub with a twist.
The food is cheap but really good quality - beats a lot of those fancy expensive restaurants out there. The menu has a lot of choice to offer, the service is quick and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

After being recommended to eat here by many of my family and friends I decided to try it out. I have got to say I was not disappointed! The indoor bbq was beautiful, the kebabs were full of flavour and spicy which is what I love. We ordered two curries between us with naans, rice and chips, perhaps we went a little overboard... wish I had enough room to eat it all it was so delicious. My boyfriend is a massive fan of indian food and he was so impressed by the place, saying it was one of the very best. I can't wait to come and dine here again, it's so cheap for the quality of the food I haven't really got an excuse!

Went as a party of 16 on Thursday evening, hadn't been in years. Not sure why as food was excellent and very good value for money. I do agree with another reviewer, that the plates could be a bit larger but not a major problem, and doesn't detract from the food! The BBQ was fab and the curry was really tasty[ had chicken taka tak]. Had 2 children with us and this wasn't a problem. Would defo recommend and will be going back very soon.

This pub is by far one of the best I have ever been in. The food is just out of this world with very generous portions. Best atmosphere is on a match day when Albion fans and opposing fans gather her for a pre-match beer, meal/BBQ. It's an added bonus that I only work around the corner so Friday lunchtimes are a must.
The only downfall, if you could call it that, is that this place is so popular that you sometimes struggle to find somewhere to sit. Being situated a stones throw from junction 1 of the M5 means that it's not hard to find so when you are next in West Brom or passing through on the M5 call in you won't regret it!

I first visited here in the mid-80s when it consisted of a pub with a few dry dishes being cooked over charcoal. Now, it's a proper pub restaurant with an indoor BBQ room.
The British-based North Indian style food is nice and inexpensive.
They usually have a couple of quaffable guest ales on tap from micro breweries.
Avoid when the local Wendyball team is playing at home because it gets extremely busy and you won't get a seat.

Went for an after work meal with colleagues. Nice ambiance, good food, good company and good service. Curry was superb! Highly recommended.

We didn't realise how long it had been since we had last visited the Vine. It was so nice to find the same landlord and some of the same staff. We were made to feel very welcome, and it was good to see that the barbecue room had been improved and extended without changing the wonderful atmosphere.The food was excellent, the best curry we have both had for a long time.The staff were lovely, and the food such great value and so much choice. I don't think it will be long before we return but with the rest of the family and friends next time.

What a place!.. great food at very reasonable prices.
The staff are so friendly and helpful, it's just a great place to eat. Good beer too! The service was very quick too - even on a Saturday night :-)

The vine is one of the most underrated curry houses/pubs in Birmingham, hands down. Lovely curry always very consistent and not greasy in any way shape or form, unlike many imitations... Get yourself down to the vine and trust me you will be back....

The Vine is a bit outside my usual naan dipping territory but our curry club decided to give this much vaunted venue a whirl so I made the trip across the City full of anticipation. From the outside a typical Black Country watering hole but inside it's the size of the Taj Mahal. There's even a barbecue room with a giant screen for sporting events. As the saying goes,'if Carlsberg did curries.......'
There's a great choice of both starters and mains and ,instead of going for their barbecue,in fairness probably their speciality, I decide to go for a curry. I fancied the goat but wimped out when I was told it was on the bone or should that be hoof?. Instead I went for the Lamb Methi with Roti and a starter of Onion Bhaji....with a Banks Mild Shandy to wash it down as I was driving. The good news is that the portions were very substantial with the curry served up in a crock 'lasagne style' pot and prices at around £6 for a main were competitive. My starter was freshly made but,in honesty the copious patties of bhaji were on the stodgy side. However the main curry more than made up for it with tender lamb in a thick sauce with a veritable explosion of fenugreek. Rotis were up to scratch with one of our other party,incidentally, having a memorable chilli paneer.....turning the normally innocuous and bland paneer cheese into a mature cheddar category,,,definitely a real hit to the palate.
Overall a very good meal although the very friendly and quick service was bizarrely provided by staff who obviously didn't know their curry from cottage pie. Some in house training from the kitchen wouldn't go amiss but maybe with its popularity , the curry 'knowledge' isn't a priority.
