About THE GRILL FATHER Restaurant Românesc
THE GRILL FATHER Restaurant Românesc is a Romanian restaurant in Coventry, set in an old pub at 13 Lockhurst Ln. The kitchen cooks traditional Romanian dishes, including mici and a grill platter for 3 that suits a table sharing a meal. Papanasi, fried donuts, serve as the Romanian dessert. The bar offers Romanian beer and Romanian wine, and live football matches are shown, so it works for an evening of food and a game together. The restaurant runs on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Pork leads the praise, with diners singling out pork stew, pork belly, smoked ribs and pork ribs, alongside a grill platter for three, lamb chops and "mici". Papanasi and bean soup come up close behind as well-made traditional dishes, and a few mention fresh natural lemonade and tasty fried potatoes. Reviewers describe big plates, good portions and fresh food, and call the staff friendly and welcoming. One reviewer calls it an old pub in a tough area rather than a romantic date spot, but still felt welcome. The complaints are sharper. One group celebrating a birthday found no tablecloth, had to go to the bar to order, and left after no one came to the table. A delivery customer received pieces of chicken thigh instead of shawarma chicken, and iceberg lettuce instead of the cabbage requested. Among the family visits, one reviewer recalls a staff member bringing their young son a book to play with.

“I ordered a large shawarma, but instead of the special chicken meat for shawarma, I received a wrap with pieces of chicken thighs. Instead of cabbage, as I requested, they added iceberg lettuce. The delivery driver didn’t even say hello or anything — he just handed it to me and left. On the other hand, the pancakes were okay. Overall, I’m disappointed. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement. I gave it a try, but I won’t be coming back.”
