  “Love the idea and vibe of this place. Food was great and good beer as well. What more could you ask for. Does not say open late which in my opinion is good. Good place to watch all the World Cup matches due to the fact of them having an TV on every wall . Can’t wait to go back again”

  “Really bad experience. This was my second visit to The Hen and Chickens and it will be my last. My first visit we found a long hair on top of the keema curry. Absolutely disgusting and they didn’t even offer a discount. The prices are outrageous. Better Indian restaurants in Birmingham.”

  “Great Indian food in a informal restaurant. Ideal for all sizes of parties. Staff helpful and happy to answer any questions. Small mixed grill comes with plenty of food”

  “Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered pilau rice and a roghan josh via Uber Eats, and I found hair inside the food. This isn’t a small mistake — finding hair in a meal is a basic hygiene failure. It shows a complete lack of food safety and raises serious concerns about how this kitchen is run. If hair is ending up in customer food, what other health standards are being ignored? I lost my appetite completely and felt sick just looking at it. This is unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone one taking money for deliveries. I do not recommend ordering from here. Ordering takeaway should not come with health risks. I will never order again.”

  “Took my nieces here and the experience was bizarre from start to finish. The service was poor, and I’ll leave it at that. Although the restaurant was completely empty, we were seated in the bar area between a group of men watching sports. I usually don’t mind a more relaxed dining atmosphere, but we were placed right by the door and it was freezing. It felt odd given there were plenty of other available tables in the main restaurant. When I asked if we could move, I was told to ask someone else, which just added to the confusion. The curries themselves were also disappointing — very bland and lacking in flavour. For the price, I would recommend Indian Brewery just down the road instead. You’ll get a much nicer curry and a far better dining setting for your money.”

  “Chloe at the bar was so lovely. She made the trip worthwhile. We live in the south of Brum and have some great local food places there. The food was good and it’s worth a visit but we were a little underwhelmed. It’s just that we have had better food elsewhere for the price. Chloe is an asset to the business and was spot-on as a server throughout - genuine and caring about our experience. Lovely interior and good beer selection.”

  “Dinner with my nephew 😁♥️ First Desi Pub😁 Not what I was expecting. On the surface just another pub. Great beer choices plus all the usual shorts 😁 Sat in the front part of the pub. Not too busy and sport on the TV 😁📺 Drinks ordered and given a menu to tick off our choices before ordering and paying up front at the bar. Bit strange but that’s just the way it is. Food arrived quite quickly and piping hot. Popadoms to start with sauces. Chicken Biryani’s with roti breads all super tasty 😁🌶️ Bigger dining area at the rear of the pub. Toilets out back clean and tidy. Very good service by friendly and Indian staff😁👍🏼 Great idea rolling the pub and curry house all into one 😁👏👏👏🇮🇳🥘🫓 Really good meal and highly recommended 😁👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿”

  “Been to this pub a few times over the years for a mixed grill and never been disappointed with the food. It's a little on the pricey side because of the location, but always serves up a decent mixi. Beer selection is great too. Lady behind the bar this time was very helpful and recommended a beer I'd not tried before. Gave me a sample and she was right, it was lovely so I had that as my second pint. Fantastic service.”
