About Merrymaid Bar and Grill
Merrymaid Bar and Grill serves Indian food and draft beer from 263 Moseley Rd in Birmingham, with a log fire in the room. The menu runs from butter chicken and fish pakora to lamb chops, and it includes many vegetarian options. A kitchen hatch lets guests see food being prepared. The bar and grill is open daily and shows sports on TV, so it works for a meal or a drink on any day of the week. The bar next door has a pool table and a juke box, which gives groups of friends something to do once the plates are cleared.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back for the curry, with the fish curry, butter chicken, lamb chops and chicken chowmein named as favourites, and one describes the food as the best in Birmingham. Close behind are the generous portions, seen in a small mix grill and fish pakora, and in the chilli chips and vegetarian options another reviewer singles out. One notes leftovers can be taken home in a container. Staff and owners come up repeatedly as friendly and welcoming, and several describe feeling at home from the moment they walk in. Some mention reasonable prices, and the pub atmosphere, log fire and pool table also get praise. One reviewer says the food arrived quickly and could be seen being prepared through the kitchen hatch. The only criticism is that the decor is dated and plain, though the same reviewer says the food is good. Several are regulars of many years, and one family that came for Mother's Day booked a table for a father's birthday because they enjoyed it so much.

“Only been here on 3 occasions, 1 for a staff works do, and twice for family get togethers. All I have to say is the food is absolutely beautiful, and the staff are lovely. My parents came today for Mother’s Day for the first time and have booked a table for my dads Birthday because they enjoyed it so much. Thank you the merrymaid crew for the warm welcoming”

“Best bar and grill I’ve been too and I’ve tried a few. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. I Would recommend the Lamb chops, chicken chowmein, butter chicken and fish curry. (Not a great reaction from people when I order the fish Curry lol, but I’ll only eat this from here) Food size portions are big so any food left over just ask for a container and u can take it home 😀 If u fancy a couple more drinks before going home then you can go next door into the bar to have a game of pool or listen to some music on the juke box.”
