  “Wow, wow, wow. I have eaten at many restaurants that serve curries etc but this one absolutely blew my mind. I don't normally order a butter chicken as I normally find them sweet, boring and no butter taste. Well here I ordered the Desi Buttered Chicken and opted for spicy. It was just the right spice to not deter from the actual taste of the curry. You could actually taste the butter and all the herbs. Phenomenal. The garlic and cheese naan, the cheese is not hidden and I could actually taste and smell the garlic!!!! We also ordered the battered masala chips and opted from them to be wet. Yet again, amazing. Crunchy outside, soft inside and soooooo tasty. The staff are so pleasant, welcoming and accommodating. Bonus was the aircon in this heat! I literally could go on. Please give this place a try, I bet you probably won't go back to your regular.”

  “🔥 The Fat Inspector Review 🔥 We checked out The Dilke in Aldridge, Walsall — now under new ownership and freshly refurbished… and it’s had a serious glow-up 👀 The place has been transformed into an Indian mixed grill spot, and it’s definitely one to have on your radar. We went in for the mixed grill and it did not disappoint — flavoursome, well-seasoned, and properly satisfying. You can tell they’ve put thought into getting those classic grill flavours just right. But the real standout? 🥵 Chilli battered chips — absolutely epic. Crispy, spicy, and dangerously addictive. Viren kept it classic and went for the butter chicken with tandoori roti, and he loved every bite. Creamy, rich, and full of flavour — definitely kid-approved ✔️ It’s always good to find a solid new spot nearby, and this is a welcome addition to the local food scene. If you’re into mixed grills, this one’s worth a visit”

  “Crew wanted to try something new so we headed here as we have not been since the new menus. Lots of parking in the rear. Lots of outdoor seating and even a pool table with a few gambling machines. Andy at the bar is a really nice guy and super helpful! Will check with the kitchen about anything you want. Food arrived quickly and didn't look like the portions were too large, but it's so filling, everyone had trouble finishing their plates! I would say to share. Food was good and ordering more naans was easy but I think we were lucky and had gone on a quiet day. All in all a nice place to visit. Good service with nice good. ENJOY!”

  “The place us very tucked away but big once u get in. It was nice and quiet and not too busy. The food there is great and big portions for the price. We ordered a lot more than we needed snd could have got half of it as they were like for us sharing portions. It is a little spicy so maybe check for your preferable spice level. Big car park.”

  “The Dilke is in a peaceful, tucked away location with a very large and spacious interior, perfect for drinks or social catch ups. The service is friendly and efficient. There’s plenty of parking on site. However, the car park and outdoor area could do with a proper clean and some maintenance to match the pub’s potential. Sadly, the food was a big letdown. The curries were completely off in flavour and tasted wrong, definitely not up to standard. Overall, the food quality was poor and disappointing. The only redeeming parts of the meal were the naan breads and the masala chips, which were average. I may return for a drink or to enjoy the space, but I definitely won’t be dining here again.”
