  “Desi Pub, Birmingham – Worth a Visit If you find yourself in Birmingham, make time for this desi pub. The food is the real highlight. The mixed grill was fantastic – juicy meat and full of flavour. But the clear star of the show was the butter chicken. It was outstanding: the sauce was rich and delicious, and the chicken was incredibly moist. I couldn’t stop eating it. The roti on the side was excellent too – soft and perfect for mopping up the sauces. Staff were super friendly and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. A couple of downsides: the masala chips were genuinely awful – I’d skip them entirely. And despite being a pub, the drinks selection was surprisingly limited. Overall, a really enjoyable place. I’d happily recommend it for the food if you’re in Birmingham – just stick to the mains and avoid the chips.”

  “I was really disappointed with the service and lack of dining service etiquette. We had to go to the bar to ask each time for service for order, than drinks and twice to the clear the table. The male service staff had to be reminded 3 times! For desert we wee give servings spoons...lack of cutlery! Terrible service for and we paid for the service charge! We spent over £200 on meal bar tab was separate... So disappointed! differently will not recommend and there are other restaurants was better service I'm sure. Basic food too!”

  “So no offence but the food was a little over hyped for my liking. I’ve had better. The lamb chops were nice but ALOT of seasoning just on the lamb like a little too much for me, gave me a belly ache tbh. Also only got two lamb chops with a large mixed grill so I had to order more food smh. I’ve been to other places where you get 3 lamb chops for the same price not caked in seasoning. The food for me was just okay. Very mid. Wasn’t as amazing as people made out to me lol, but I guess everyone’s idea of amazing places to eat are different. Think I spent around £80+ including some soft drinks. Large mixed grill, chips, nann bread (x2 portions) extra lamb chops and rice. Don’t think I’d be going back if any one I know said they were going there. Definitely not. Very good service though from our waiter (she was lovely, funny & down to earth)”

  “My favourite place for a curry in all of Birmingham. The grills are good but the curry is even better. I normally have the Jalfrezi but last night I had the chicken and lamb rara with a pilau rice and garlic naan. My vegetarian wife loves it here. The butter paneer is her go to dish but she loves that there loads of soya options as well. The beers are great too. As it's a pub there are a wide range of options to have with your curry. Shout out to Bruce serving us. He great, attentive yet not overbearing.”

  “First time visiting the Covered Wagon and it didn't disappoint! The Covered Wagon in Birmingham is a fantastic place for any occasion or business meetings. Delicious food, excellent service, and great value too, I can see why this place is so highly rated. The sizzler was very good! 🔥 Just wanted to say how friendly and attentive the staff were. Excellent service. In particular I'd like to thank the wonderful Ilisha for looking after us so well. You're doing a fabulous job, keep up the great work. You make an enjoyable meal a little better for sure. Appreciate it. Thanks team covered Wagon. The journey from Leicester was worth it. Definitely will be returning. 😀👍🏼 The sizzler is very good as well as the keema curry and butter chicken. Can't go wrong! Delicious. 😀 One of the best desi pubs in Birmingham in my opinion.”

  “This restaurant has become somewhat of a tradition for my family. Great staff and amazing food, what more can you ask for? I highly recommend! The top two dishes for me was the lamb rogan josh, and the paneer curry. They also do meat platters that I would love to try, but they are huge so I would need a lot of help! They look amazing. Important to note - I have never in my life had a disappointing dish here. The chefs will cook the meals to your preference and they are always on point!”

  “I recently had the pleasure of trying authentic Indian cuisine after few months , and it was truly an exceptional experience. The dishes were prepared with original Indian curry and high-quality ingredients, offering a wonderful aroma and outstanding flavor. Compliments to the head chef for the excellent preparation, and to the service team for their attentive and professional service. This certainly will not be my last visit.”

  “Been a while since we last visited, but we definitely weren’t disappointed! We started off with our usual poppadoms – cooked just right. The mint sauce was a bit too minty for me, but the mango chutney had a nice little kick and made up for it! We went for the Wagon Special Sizzler (as we always do) – way too much for two people, but that’s half the fun, we just take the leftovers home. We also had our “wet” dish, chicken saag this time, full of flavour and spot on. Two naan breads to mop it all up and we had enough food for the next day too! Staff were lovely and polite as always. Great food, great portions, great service – can’t go wrong here!”
