Asian Grill in Birmingham

Extremely bad customer service. And poor hygiene. Spoiling the name of Asians by putting the name asian grills.

Excellent service and beautiful food..thank you to the team

A lovely, friendly local takeaway, the food is good, great flavours and overall one of Suttons best

We have used the asian grill since it opened in the 70s on and off and read a few of the negative reviews, so we gave it ago again like the title we were both surprised there were already 5 covers good sighn Wife being a veggie the menu was very appealing So Food could not fault it Chkn naga stunning Panner tikka masala creamy tangy stunning Rice fluffy Plates hot on arrival Nan cheese&garlic fluffy just right drinks 2 cobras 1 coke poppadoms x4 1 floater coffee all for £45 special mention to the waiters very polite and assertive not over powering if a business has been trading since the 70s it's doing somthing right this restaurant is a traditional Indian restaurant not many left manzils digbeth again trading since the 70s both credit to the owners

The best curry place in Birmingham BY FAR😍 nothing compares to Asian grill.

I order every week and the food is always high quality.

Extensive menu of which I’ve tried three different things on three visits, a chicken, mushroom and spinach Balti, a Chicken Pathia and a Lamb Byriani all of which have been good and got accompanied by a lovely fresh naan.

Second time at this restaurant and last, the quality of the food was dire. Prawn balti was awash with oil and the some of the prawns still had shell on.

A really good curry house serving great food. Did well with our massive 20 booking.

Had a take away meal to collect. First time using Asian Grill and wasn't disappointed. Good size and value and the Persian Biriyani and Peshwari naan were yummy

Cant believe this was my first time visiting this beautiful restaurant, lovely staff and amazing food will be visiting again.

Not the best takeaway tbh. Samosas were dripped in cold cooking oil. Meat was microwaved, chefs special dish with lamb, prawns and chicken was tasteless. Didn't enjoy the meal at all

Very disappointed with the food! very blend and the food was the too sweet ! Ordered garlic nan they send me a normal bread even the bread was sweet Over all I wouldn’t recommend this place

We ordered a takeaway online took ages to arrive chips were cold my bhuna had no flavour very disappointed today we ate in last weekend food was lovely so thought we would have a takeaway tonight wish I hadn’t bothered

In all the very many reviews I've left on TripAdvisor (most in glowing praise) I've never written anything remotely like this! As an ex-Suttonian, I enjoy renewing my acquaintance with the Asian Grill when visiting friends in the area. So this is what we did on my latest visit back. It seemed strange to us when we arrived that there was absolutely no-one in the restaurant when we arrived - particularly as it was a Friday evening. Maybe our experience provided us with a clue why... I'd eaten a meal in Birmingham with a client that same lunchtime, so only needed a snack, my friend needing a little more. So having explained this to the waiter, we ordered a cheese paneer, sag aloo, pilau rice, 3 popadums (all to share) and of course a Kingfisher each. So far, so good... A little while later a different person (the manager?) arrived and instructed us to order a main course. Having explained that we'd already explained to his colleague that I'd already eaten that day, hence the order of a few small dishes only, he became surprisingly aggressive, snatched our drinks from us and ordered us to leave. In NO undertain terms! Now if the policy is that spending £30 isn't sufficient, then there's ways of saying so. Even unfriendly would be almost understandable. But downright rude and aggressive? Totally uncalled for. Not surprisingly, we left, the restaurant returned to being devoid of customers, and insted enjoyed an excellent Chinese (meal!) at the other end of the HighStreet. Not surprisingly, we won't be returning. At all. Not really an issue in terms of them earning income from me as I only eat there four or five times a year. To have alienated a complete local family who previously utilised the restaurant for both take-a-ways and sit in meals though does seem to be less than sensible? As I say, never in all the years I've been supporting TripAdvisor have I left a review remotely like this. There again, I can't recall ever having had an experience like this either!

It was great!! The food was amazing, and the service was super kind.

19/12/23. Went to the Asian Grill. Not a particularly great experience. They wouldn't bring out the pickles and some popedom’s so we could enjoy them while we looked at the menu, we had to order first, then they'd bring them out. The moment we'd eaten them the starter arrived. We ordered the Asian Grill Platter for 2. Don't bother, it was £10 for 1 chicken drumstick, a small piece of chicken breast, a tiny piece of sheek kebab, a dice sized piece of something else, garnished with a little Lettice. You're better off ordering 3 starters between 2, you would get far more. So that was a complete rip off. We were given one wrong main which was replaced. The mains were tasty but the whole experience was rushed by staff who didn't go out of there way to make you feel welcome. We felt as if they wanted us out as quick as possible so they could get the next customer in. Very disappointed as this was once a very nice place. Sutton Coldfield is well served by Indian Restaurants so you'd think they'd make an effort to keep their clientele. Overall; the food was good, but way too expensive based on what you'd get elsewhere for your money. That was our last visit to The Asian Grill.

Had a couple of takeaways and the first one was stone cold and waited over a hour and a half for it but rang the restaurant and manager said he would refund and was apologetic he said just call next time and we will sort it out phone to place an order to be told it’s too busy to sort out so again I just place order no problems on this one phone again and said just put it through and we will sort the food arrived again like warm looked like it had just been microwaved as paneer was all burnt inside tandoori mixed grill was as tough as old boots so was the balti chicken reheated and salad all brown looked like it had been saved from day before popadoms very greasy and burnt chips grey and crusty said they would get the manager to ring didn’t this time won’t be using again

Asian grill has a Facebook page,with lots of tasty looking dishes. Unfortunately, none of these pictures belong to them or have never been cooked by any staff member ...........................

Uncooked aubergine . We usaually rate the food here but this meal was bad . Very poor flavours and hard uncooked aubergine .

Myself and my husband dined at the Asian grill the 23/7/23 and were very impressed with the food and the service. It came piping hot and there was no long waits either. Would recommend to others.

Walked in and asked if we'd booked a table ,we hadn't so asked to wait in the bar area, then led to a table to my surprise we we're the only persons in the place,as for the food I had a balti god knows what it was, they ask you if you want poppadoms which are cold when they arrive and drop the little sauces on the table and charge 1,50 without telling you,, above all it's not the place I used regularly over the years,,, I've decided to use the Indian restaurants in boldmere,they are much better,,, above all wasn't made welcome and the food wasn't good,,,

It was great experience last night in Asian grill. Good food, well served and friendly staff. I would recommend 5 of 5.starter was nice and the meal was absolutely gorgeous.

Fabulous, as always. Squeezed a large group of 22 of us in at short notice, and looked after us well. I can never fault this place.

Great service and great food and staff always friendly use this place all the time and the delivery is just as good highly recommend 👍

Always top quality food service brilliant friendly and fast.

Always has been a great curry house nobody does a chicken curry slightly hot like they do 😋 😋

Very nice local but upmarket venue.

Best balti iv had for a long time chicken very tender service very attentive will be back

Amazing food as always. Service is excellent.

Good food good service 🙂 good price

Best curry house in Sutton Coldfield friendly staff good takeaway as well

Service was excellent, the dish I had was just ok, others liked their dish's more

Very worst foot quality and customer service.

Poor customer service..very rude to customers.

Bad customer service..will not recommend

Worst experience you can get in the UK.. very bad customer service . Serving spoiled food …definitely going to complain to food and safety..

Very bad experince .. pathetic service.. totally disppointed..

Should be 3.5 star if brutally honest. Food as expected, nice inside. Alittle annoyed that it closes 23:55 and we came in 22:30, and was then rushed with mains brought out whilst still midway through poppadoms. 23:18 and we have finished awaiting bill (I was finished well before my girlfriend). Just not nice to be rushed when we had ample time.

Unbelievable bad customer service. We wait an age. I want a curry and my girlfriend had already eaten. I order a main and a naan and my girlfriend orders a starter more or less out of courtesy. He points out it’s £15 minimum on the back of the menu that no one told us about. I even didn’t hit £15 with my meal. He wants her to order more. He comes back and says he will “allow it”… jog on. Why be rude? This place is utterly horrendous. The staff are rude and I would never come back. The irony is they are over half empty and then turn away service. If the owner reads this. You should be ashamed. You are not a good place.

Fabulous food,excellent service and polite staff,the best curry house in Sutton Coldfield. Nowhere does it better!!

Shocking service and false advertising . Website say Michelen starred . When you ask they say no we are not . 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Waited over 90 mins, food arrived stone cd & order wrong. Rang restaurant who said manager would call back but still waiting

Great curry and staff were superb, excellent service and a good laugh

This place is a gem . Great food , good service . Definitely worth making time to visit. Food is a cut above other restaurants in the area , not the cheapest but great value .

Great place.. great food .. great staff

Had a great time celebrating my dad birthday. The waiters where fantastic , funny and really welcoming. Food beautiful. Recommend to anyone looking for a lovely curry and staff.

Would highly recommend the Asian Grill, We had a meal last night with my son, daughter in law and 18month old grandson. The staff were brilliant polite, cheerful and also interacted with my grandson, nothing was to much trouble even changing ingredients in a main to suit my daughter in law. All in all great evening with great service and food. Thank you Asian Grill we will be returning.

I booked this restaurant using a Gourmet Society ( Discount Card) that gives discounts on main course. The atmosphere was frosty from the start. We only wanted pappudoms ( which cost £5.10 really dear) main course and rice and drinks but clearly they wanted us to order more. The food was good but they made us feel really uncomfortable because when we asked for a doggy bag we were told this was not available for gourmet society customers but he would make an exception in our case but when we got the container Back home he had thrown away the chapati and put half the portion in the box and gave us the remainder in one small container and thrown the rest away( so we never had it) . We asked for the WiFi password and were told that no one knew it so we could not have it. We were checking out this restaurant and would love to have it as our local because we live in walking distance but would not return.

Went to this charming restaurant as a three generation family and everyone had a lovely time. Food was lovely and the heat of each dish was made according to how we wanted it- spicier for some and very mild for others ! Even more charming, was the proprietor who was exceptionally friendly and had many wonderful stories to share of his travels - it’s not just the food but also the people which make restaurants such as these exceptional.

Excellent food. Our waiter Anhar was very attentive. Couldn't ask for more.

Visited last week, first time since lockdown Excellent food and service Nothing too much trouble for the servers

Very welcoming and polite staff. We were well looked after with very good service and delicious food. What more could you ask for?

Wonderful food and great service from staff. Consistently good quality food, flavoursome and on time. Been visiting for over 15 years. Never fails to satisfy the taste buds or the wallet.

My husband had a curry from here about a month ago and it was decent, so we thought why not try our loved classics. We cook Indian food at home and I thought about having a day off from cooking. Well... we don't like leaving negative reviews, but sadly we will not be returning. Chicken tikka (red) tasted like eating chicken in a caramel sauce. Why oh why was there so much sugar or any sugar at all? Some pieces of chicken were also under. Chicken jeera was very bland and the saag bhaji was the worst we ever tasted. Tasted burnt and was very dry! The pilau rice was the only decent tasting. We don't like throwing food away, it's a crime really as some people starve, but sadly, most of it ended up being thrown away. Such a shame. We'll be back to our trusted Panache. They never disappoint.

Food was tasty but staff were extremely eager for us to eat and leave, bringing the bill before we asked for it and even asking if we wanted a taxi. Very disappointed, won’t be returning.

Very good service. Excellent presentation and gorgeous taste. Lovely staff.

Went today. Good food and great service. The tawas are highly recommended!

Rang in advanced to see if the were open and they said they were. We told them we would be 10 minutes and they said come on down. Got there and the first thing that was said to us was" we are closing in 20 minutes so you will have to be quick". Said thanks for the hospitality and left. Just a waste of time. There's dozens of curry houses in the area that we can try

Been using them for about 20 years. Ive never had a bad curry from them.

This is my favourite curry house. Food is always great

Love it here, the food is always great and the staff friendly

I have to give my honest opinion, this is the optimal restaurant. for me at least, nothing else compares.

The food was so good it made me moist.

Staff very friendly and helpful and food outstanding as usual

Was visiting locally, we booked ahead and glad we did as they seemed quite busy even on a Wednesday. The staff were very attentive and very friendly. Food was delicious, didn’t take long and they asked if we were ready for our mains which was a nice touch following our starters, also reasonably priced too.

Really nice experience not a local but thought why not. Dont let the maps view trick you, restaurant is really big on the inside well decorated friendly staff. Over all great experience food was amazing aswell puts my local to shame.

Friendly, great food cool vibe and atmosphere good prices

Loved it, staff were friendly, food was delicious. Went here on "eat out too help out" and was happy with what we found

Fresh grill cooked food on the go. 😁

Well organised during these current restrictions, great service and brilliant food. Thank you

Very pleased with tandoori salmon bhuna main and gobi sag aloo side. Onion bhaji was a bit firm and chewy (take away). Will definitely go again

I usually go to Sutton park to exercise/walk and I have always been attracted by the good smell coming from the Asian Grill. Eventually I tried it and I can guarantee that the smell accurately reflects food's quality. I was particularly impressed not only by the quality of the ingredients but also from how this is cooked. The meat literally melts in your mouth. My partner, who normally hates spicy food, has eaten all the samosa (despite these being too spicy for her). Definitely recommended! Great quality and affordable prices!!!

I am a regular here and have posted before my thoughts on the food before but in the current times of lock down........ Any end of a long week GCSE exam canned but no real understanding of how they will be awarded and trying to understand how the teaching community could deliver education and support to their pupil it was so nice to have some semblance of normality. The staff at the Asian Grill still preparing quality takeaway food with a smile. Thank you

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant. My girlfriend had chicken Rogan josh which was delicious and I had chicken dhansak also tasty. Starters and sides also really good. Definitely recommend the Asian Grill if you're in the Birmingham area.

Always a pleasure to visit the Asian Grill. Great food and service as usual. Order taken quickly and food arrived promptly.

This was the second Indian Restaurant in SC. Been visiting for over 45 years. Think it has my custom assured! Had my stag do and 35th wedding celebration here! Great owner and staff! Most important of all Great Food!

I've never been here but I like the name and got a notification about it

Booked here for a meal with a colleague over from N. Ireland as it was a short taxi ride from the hotel. Wednesday night so not too busy. Nice, bright place, friendly staff, good menu. Middle of road prices but food was excellent. Wine was a bit dearer than usual. Around £70 for us both inc' two bottles of wine. Will go again when down there next.

Amazing food...lovely staff...no parking tho...

Staff couldn't be friendlier, food consistently good!

Good food and friendly staff. Second best curry house in Sutton Coldfield.

My local. I don't recommend the tamarind dish though - a bit rich for me.

Food could be of better quality for the money

Love it here, attentive service, delicious food, great choice on the very varied menu and good location right by Sutton Park

I noticed Paolo's (Sutton's very own Ronnie Pickering) engaging summary of his apparent distress in finding curry on his jacket. I witnessed and heard the encounter, indeed the whole restaurant did. He forgot to mention the bit when he slammed his fist on the counter, effing and blinding at the staff and threatening violence on the so called manager, I think the phrase was "I best not see you out in the street mate or I will sort you out" or words to that effect. Then he proceeded to slam the door on the way out like a petulant child. I think we all found this aggressive, angry, sweary behaviour a bit much. No matter what happened it didn't warrant such an outburst ruining the pleasure of fellow diners. We continued our meal and it was absolutely fantastic, it always is. I felt sorry for the staff, they didn't deserve such an onslaught. It won't put me off from going again, just hope Ronnie Pickering doesn't rock up.

Party of 9, started reasonably well but went downhill rapidly. I asked for iced water and was was told no, it was too early... obviously focusing on selling alcohol. Food took an absolute age. I noticed curry had been spilled on my jacket and when I complained I was rebuffed and ignored, then it would be addressed after the meal.I approached the waiter who referred me to someone masquerading as the manager who asked whether I had seen anyone doing It and could I prove it? I said they were the only people serving me and asked were they going offer something in the way of cleaning cost..... you guessed it... No!Staff are the most rude, unprofessional bunch of tossers I have ever encountered in the food industry.PLEASE DO NOT EAT THERE, Save your money for somewhere worthy!

Poor quality food (Had an english dish) & expensive.

Myself and My partner visited last night for My Birthday and We had a lovely time. The service was excellent and the vegetable vindaloo was really nice, the potatoes in it were cooked to perfection and I loved how the place was decorated. I used to visit as a teenager with My family and I have always received a warm welcome. My partner was new to the restaurant and He loved it too. It's a big hit with My family and We will definitely be returning.

Came here last night for our monthly catch up.. staff friendly and very welcoming . Food was lovely and severed hot..finished off our meal with a coffee and a JD and Coke. All in all a lovely evening and a nice restaurant . Will defiantly be back

Without doubt the finest Indian in Sutton Coldfield town centre.Never had a bad meal in 20 years and service excellent.

We returned here after a couple of regrettable visits to other establishments. I forgot how flavoursome the dishes were. Service faultless and cleanliness second to none. Will remain our first choice for our Indian Cuisine in Sutton Coldfield 😊

Good food. Reasonable price. Very friendly staff.

Extremely friendly, great local place. Been there 52 years and there is a good reason for that!!

Food always good here, staff always helpful especially with nut allergy sufferers

Food is delicious and the staff are fab, nothing is too much trouble for them. Would certainly recommend it

Ten of our family visited on a monday evening. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble them. We will be back!

Excellent service attentive staff highly recommended clean and bright

We went for a meal at the Asian Grill recently , decided to go early evening as it gets pretty busy later on. We ordered starters and mains. No pud this time as we were sufficiently full. I have to say the meal was fabulous, genuinely one of the nicest meals we have had in a while. Definitely returning soon. Would recommend.
