Canalside Grill and Bar in Wolverhampton

Was good, a bit dearer than desi pubs. Nice decor and great service. Food was good, a bit mild for my liking. Would defo revisit.

Not bad but there are better options locally. Service is slow but that's not due the staff (there's just not enough).

We dined at Canalside our first time on 16th November. We were pleasantly met at the entrance by a gentleman callled Ruben who then became our service waiter all evening. Ruben was very polite, dressed smartly and delivered our drinks and food very professionally indeed. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi, while my wife had the Balti dish. Both meals were plentiful and tasted delicious. It was my birthday the next day and so a complementary cake was delivered to our table complete with a candle too. Canalside is a lovely place to eat with extremely well presented staff who make you feel extremely welcome. We can recommend this venue 100% get yourselves down there!

Had an excellent dining experience on Friday evening. We have not been here for over three years. From a lovely refurb to excellent food and great service ,we can highly recommend. We both had the Desi Chicken curry ,madras hot,garlic nan and chunky chips . We eat at many Desi pubs and restaurants and found the standard of food excellent. Great that it's on the door step too. Shout out to Reuben our server and the rest of the hardworking staff. We will definitely return to try the fantastic looking mixed grill.

Fantastic bar & grill. Food and drink are both 5*, atmosphere is also great :)

Consistently Great Food and Friendly Atmosphere I’ve visited this establishment many times, and they never disappoint. The mixed grills are always fresh and flavorful—definitely a highlight My wife ordered the steak and was equally impressed with the quality and taste. The place has a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable, and the staff are always polite and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food.

A good place to have some food.

We came this evening for the new menu for my brothers brothers' meal. The good was great, and the service was great too

great venue went there a few days ago with friends. decor looks amazing and Reuben looked after us will be coming in again

Stay away from the korma there is no taste other then plastic, the worst iv ever had, microwave korma are by far 10x better then here few months ago we had korma and it didn't taste anything like it does now why change things that don't beec changing 🤔

I recently visited Canalside Bar and Grill, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The food was absolutely fantastic—each dish was bursting with flavor, and the menu had a great variety to choose from. I highly recommend the signature burgers and the fresh seafood; both were cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was equally impressive, with a vibrant yet relaxed vibe that made it the perfect spot for a meal with friends or a casual date night. The outdoor seating by the water added an extra layer of charm. What truly made our visit special was the service. Reuben was an outstanding staff member—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed. Overall, Canalside Bar and Grill exceeded my expectations in every way. I can't wait to return!

Went this evening with my family and I can honestly say we were not disappointed. Aryan was our waiter and was very attentive and friendly- nothing was too much for him Lovely food, atmosphere and the service was impeccable Would definitely recommend

THE NEW LOOK ‘CANALSIDE LOUNGE’ This place is just FAB. From the moment you come in to the moment you sit, eat, relax, chill, you are looked after by Rav. You feel pampered with how attentive the staff are. Reuben was our waiter we had delicious Lamb chops to start, he recommended one of their chicken Karai dishes and it was delicious. Never had such fluffy nans!! They have steak options too and wine can be ordered by the bottle There is seating outside for the warmer weather. Definetly recommend canalside lounge 💯

Great food And more important service with a smile Emma you made my day with staff like you restaurant will do well . Thank you .

My friend and I went for Saturday night food and catchup and had a fantastic evening. The food was really tasty. We had a mixture of curries and a mixed grill. The bar had a good choice, and the drinks flowed all night! Atmosphere was great. Service amazing. I want to thank Reuben. Thank you to the owner for coming over and saying hi. See you soon

We’ve been back to the newly refurbished Canalside and enjoyed great service from Emma, fantastic food from the kitchen and can definitely recommend this for a beautiful meal and a friendly welcome.

First visit and it didn't disappoint. The shared mixed grill was excellent and plenty of it. Great choice of sides. Food 100%. We were served by the lovely Emma who was very friendly, chatty and so polite, an absolute credit to the place. 5 star 🌟 all round, great food great service. Highly recommended.

Excellent all round performance. Food and service 5 star . Highly recommend this place. New menu (not the one online) but well worth the visit.

Recently re-furbished, good venue in quite location friendly helpful staff, food is good quality and price + portion is a good match. Will return.

Thought I'd try the Canalside grill after the refurbishment and the new menu. Went with the wife and its very cosy and gives a restaurant vibe rather than a sports bar. Tried the large mix grill and a few cocktails both were amazing. Will definitely come again to try the new dishes!!

Very noisy place, food was not the best either. Chicken tikka masala was like a corner shop ready meal, looked like a tin of tomato soup had been poured over the chicken. Also ordered a chicken tikka starter, which was more like chicken tikka charcoal. It was so burnt it was inedible. The drinks glasses were dirty and had lipstick marks on the rims. Not recommended at all.

I went here yesterday after the England Euro Game as it was recommended to me by a friend for the 'best grill'. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. We were greeted by a young lady who was friendly and welcoming and promptly took our order. We decided to have a sharing dish and the variety and food was amazing. I will be sure to be recommending here in future too and will definitely be returning! Thank you 😊

Absolutely 💯 beautiful food. The service was 💯 amazing. I'm definitely going back. I'm taking more of my family next time just to show them how a restaurant should be run... 5 star (really) 🌟

Family birthday meal. Staff were really pleasant and very helpful nothing was too much trouble. Food delicious and plenty. Will certainly visit again

By a country the best Indian restaurant in the area, fantastic 5 stars

We had a lovely Indian meal here as a family. However, the food took over an hour to come out. As an apology, they gave all tables poppadoms, which would have been a nice gesture if some of us hadn't already ordered and paid for that from the menu already. Food is good, but spicy! Being someone who prefers a milder option I found even the Korma and Tikka Massala uncomfortably hot to eat. The curries were also on the runny side, resembling a soup rather than a curry. It was tasty however, and its a nice venue, but not a traditional Indian place

We were looking forward to having food whilst watching the game as a family. The restaurant cancelled our order 10 minutes before the food was due to arrive. No apology at all. Very poor servive and will not use again or recommend.

Tasty food and very friendly staff.

Wow just wow! The service is fantastic,the food even better....Absolutely outstanding 100% recommended

Great food Great location Great staff

The kitchen service was pathetic.. Yes there was a crowd of us 24 ...we were asked to pre order over a week ago which we all did..table was booked for 7pm ..they were asked to prioritise a couple in they 90 with dementia and the younger children but at 8/30pm, 3 adult meals came out not any to do with the prioritise people..it came out in drips and drabs 2 hours and 40 minutes later the last meals came out ... other tables were served and gone and some of our guest were just left there waiting we were constantly asking where the food was and were told it was coming 🤔 .. why i ask my self if you can't deal with a 20 plus people why say you can surly this says you need more kitchen staff

We went after a friend recommended it, and I can say we were not disappointed. Lovey atmosphere, nice interior and vibe. The staff were really fantastic and helpful and the service was top quality. The food menu was good, plenty to choose from, and a good variety for vegetarians too (well priced). The food was lovely, we ordered a variety of foods and was not disappointed. I would definitely recommend it 👌

Loved this place - last meal here was terrible! I complained and got a free drink lol

Firstly, it smelled like a toilet with poor plumbing in the entire restaurant. Service was poor with staff clearly discussing the party of people I attended with while I was at the bar waiting for a drink. Table booked for half 5 with pre ordered meals and it still took 2 hours for food to be sent out. I had the Indian kebab wrap and it was okay. Wouldn't order it again or return.

Great place to eat.. beautiful food but don't pre order got in at 5:30 not served till 7:30 just go in always room you'll get served quicker 👍

Gorgeous food, lovely location. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We had a family meal here this weekend and had a wonderful time. The service was brilliant and our waitress was so helpful and nice. Lovely food and nice atmosphere.

Disgusting experience ever. We did visit this place as a family. Ordered starters. Food came a bit late thought it's Friday but starters were lovely. When it came to main meal after waiting for an hour asked for food and has been asked for wait 10 mins then after half an hour asked for more wait. We were starving. Waiting staff were not paying attention. I don't recommend this place at all. Good luck to you guys. Awful, horrible experience. Staff didn't bother to tell what's actually wrong in kitchen. We left the place without eating.

Disgusting experience. We did wait for our main course for 2 hours. But never been served. Horrible experience.

Really enjoyed my recent visit here, shared a mix grill, curry and bread with a friend and we both loved it. Reasonably priced too. Only downside to the place is the men's toilet, it was rather dirty when I went and the hand dryer seemed to have mould or dirt in it.

Very small portion sizes for the price curry barley shared with two, literally just half a bag of chips again didn’t share far, no salad or onions and food was lukewarm on arrival. Overall very disappointing with what you get for your money.

One of the best curries I’ve had! Deffo recommended! Highly rated and enjoyed. The food has been spot on & staff very polite.

Food was ok, but had much better in the past here. No heating on asked why and they said it was on so sat in coat's eating our meals

food was cold and they was like kids meals

Food was nice I've had better but I ate it all so I guess that counts for something..lol.. service was ok the young boy behind the bar was excellent.. great bar skills and served the food as quick as he could get it from the kitchen.. well done to him for dealing with a party of 20... Kitchen was slow possibly due to the staff was missing.. Atmosphere was great we made it our own .. we was the only ones in the building.. they had music in the back ground which was great.. In the end we had a lovely time....

Placed my food order over the phone, very friendly and helpful staff, food was picked up 15 minutes later. Last twice I've ordered slight errors with the picked up food, not enough to complain but makes me think that standards are slipping while prices are on the rise. Also I appreciate looks aren't as important for take away food but the halloumi burgers look very unappetising when received as a take away order. I'd hope they'd look better if I ordered and was served them in the restaurant. Hopefully just a blip and will pick up.

Had a meeting here. Great venue.

Food was ok maybe not enough to feed a family of four however the main problem was the lack of salad and sauces which should have been included.

Best place to eat Punjabi food. Must try the saag, tastes like home made saag, recommend to all. Service is excellent too

popped in for a quick snack found it very cosy and friendly food was great...i say try it...

We eat here on a regular basis and the food is always exceptional. I always have the mixed grill and its probably the best in town. My oldest son says the tikka masala is the best he's had, my youngest son loves the kids menu and my wife and daughter are both vegetarians and always really enjoy their meals. There is also a good selection for veggies too. Good size portions of food and Rav and all of the staff are always friendly, helpful and make us feel welcome. You will not regret eating here.

Amazing food good value and service

This was our first time here and it was amazing. The mix grill is amazing and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming here again.

Food was perfect and service was bang on!

100% recommend to anyone for mixed-grills and curries at Canalside All the staff at Canalside are polite and friendly. Atmosphere, warm and welcoming there. The price is really good for the quality and portion too. Great place for Events 100% recommend Canalside to book Event.

Went in last week fantastic service excellent foodd with healthy sized portions will definetly recomend and be going back

Rav & Ruths would recomend business to business www.nttreeswolverhampton.co.uk

Don't think the currys me and my partner had last was worth the money at all £11 just for curry and it was just s small portion well disappointed with rice and bread £37 won't be doing it again

It is busy and loud on a Saturday night as expected. It’s a small space so hard to get a quiet space. The staff were working hard and were friendly as always! I was disappointed that the tandoori chicken wrap hadn’t been in the tandoor oven. The fragrant flavours were there but the charcoal Smokey flavour wasn’t so it tasted sweet bland. Not sure what happened there. Chicken was white as it it had been in a normal uk oven. The rest of the food was all good.

Fantastic food, great service, and reasonable prices.

They forgot 2 orders of chips and the burgers looked depressing and below par.

What a waste of time uncooked food service is rubbish will never ever go again and I advise you not to either 1 star is to good to give the place .

We went here as a family for Valentine’s Day as it was an important anniversary for a loved one we had recently lost. To say the experience ruined it is an understatement! We were told went we got there that they weren’t serving mixed grills only to see about 2 and half hours later, the owners were being serving mixed grills. I mean telling the customers it’s not available and then bringing out platters in front of everyone to see they’re bare faced lied is just rude on another level! The serving staff were friendly but just clueless and ignore you when walking past trying to get their attention! We finally got our food at 9 after being there from 7! Our kids were so hungry we had to ask them to bring the chips out asap just so we could give them something to eat! We should have just gone to Maccies than this place, id rather great service and okay food but this grill disappointed on every level! The price paid for the food was just extortionate, not worth it! Never returning!!!

We went here as a family with children and have left so gobsmaked at this place. You can’t even call it a “Bar & Grill” as they don’t look up at you when you’re standing at the bar waiting to be served and as soon as we sat down, they told us they were not serving mix grills - WHAT? We pre-booked our table, so surely if something was wrong, like staffing etc, they should have called and told us ahead of our visit as this is the main thing you would order at a place like this. Nevertheless, we arrive at 7:15 waiting to be served, didnt get any service which was surprising as they didn’t seem busy. After being ignored at the bar, staff telling us they would come in 5 minutes and didn’t, we seen one of the managers and asked him to get served if possible. He was so snobby, just said yeh yeh okay and carried on chatting with his friends. It was baffling. Even after this; we kept asking for someone to take our order and finally did. We got our food at 9:10! Disgraceful! The food wasn’t even nice, naans were about the best thing as they were soft, but the butter chicken was flavourless and the keema was just awful! I don’t even think it was meat, looked and tasted like quorn. We were so dissapointed at wasting £90, we actually wished we had gone to a drive through and took our food home!

Went for a valentines meal, got a complimentary glass of champagne 🍾! The food was amazing, it was our first time there and certainly not the last. The cocktails were also really good and would highly recommend 😇. The chicken tikka wrap in naan bread was brilliant and so was the chicken balti

Came across this place on insta and thought we would give it a go as the posts looked really good. We ordered a Veg Thaali and some tandoori prawns. The waiter asked if we would like our prawns as a starter or main, to which I replied, with our mains. After an hour of waiting for food (it was not busy at all, around 15 guests max) we received burnt thick naan breads, watery tasteless curry with uncooked paneer chunks and unseasoned chips and no prawns in sight! Part of our thaali included halloumi, samosas and springs rolls (which is what my wife was dying to eat) little did we know they were all going to be served soggy and covered in a sticky sauce, this was not written anywhere on the menu. We ate about under half of our food and left the remaining and also asked if our order of prawns could be cancelled as they still hadn’t been served! We also overheard another customer say they had been waiting for an hour for their takeaway! A pint of coke of draft was priced £4.50 which is a little steep for a local bar and grill. To give it some credit, the two waiting staff were very friendly and were trying their hardest to ensure customers were kept happy. This place has great potential, it’s set in a lovely location with quirky decor…it just requires a talented chef to join their kitchen.

Very disappointed with our valentines meal……Was not told there would be no mixed grills being served until we sat down and decided we wanted a mixed grill. There was no warning when booking or even on the reminder email. A real shame. The service wasn’t brilliant. Waiters were clueless on what drinks they had. There was no drinks menu just a board with about five cocktails on. When I did pick a cocktail off this board they didn’t have it. The waiters didn’t know what drinks they even served. Just very disappointed with our experience as we visited about a year ago and the standards were a lot higher and we had a great experience and really enjoyed our mixed grill. The curry we did decide to have was nice however cost a lot more than we planned on spending. We couldn’t wait to get out of the restaurant. Really did ruin our valentines experience.

Went to the Canalside Bar and Grill. 10/10 for facilities. 10/10 for friendly staff. 10/10 for setting. The food was a little more on the pricey side. Yet i suppose the surrounding area suits. You get what you pay for. A little bit cold when we turned up. A little bit empty too. Its not my usual but i would go again. Ps super clean Edit 2nd time there. So how does a place go from a 3 star place to a 1 star. Well for a start... Had to go to the bar only to be told wait at the table for service which took 25 minutes for a drink. A full glass would be appreciated. When trying to order the mix grills, they were off the menu even though someone else came in after us and had one?! Even the staff who said no we can't said oh we must be serving them now? Ordered mains and food took 2 hours plus to come to the table. They were just about average for quality and taste. Other points were. Service was terrible. The bar man couldn't care. Manager had a blasè attitude. He sat chilling with his friends knowing we asked for service numerous amounts of times. Good points were... It was warmer inside this time. Cleanliness was still good. Atmosphere was good. It was Valentines day. Sadly a poor one. We don't want a discount we want better service. Good luck

What a fantastic Valentine’s Day meal. Vicci was presented with a complimentary glass of Prosecco upon entrance, staff were great, always on hand but not intrusive. We opted for the thali to share, very well put together, the curries were tender, full of flavour and well balanced. Flame grilled chicken wings, shish, tikka chicken, salad… all wonderful. Lovely bottle of Prosecco, good lager and relaxed atmosphere. Great value too, looking forward to coming back already.

Night out with friends and had a great meal...we had a take out at the end of the night for a partner that had to babysit so had missed out. Apparently this was not so good ...I'm hoping this was a one off as all our meals in restaurant were good

By far the worst “Indian” food I had ever had. Recommend by friend. Came with parents. Disgusting lamb chops and mains. Smelt of a sickly pub. Just don’t.

We’ve been here a few times for food, came again on Saturday for drinks. Love this place, staff are friendly, love the atmosphere, so cosy.

First visit and food was spot on we really enjoyed it best weve had in a while However it was cold inside the pub heating needed to be turned up Otherwise highly recommended

Food is very nice we went twice😋😋 the view was beautiful to look at too my brothers also enjoyed it to the food was here quick and yummy definitely recommend you coming here.

Attended a networking event here last night. The food and ambience was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

All you can eat buffet put on for a business networking event! Endless Indian classics offered and the portions just kept coming! Great selection of beers on the line up and left both stuffed and merry :)

The food was amazing, there was a great atmosphere and the venue is beautiful. It was easy to find and had plenty of parking.

Unfriendly welcome, the place was virtually empty. Food was disgusting, greasy, flavourless, chips were cold, poppadoms swimming in oil and so was the fish pakora. When my daughter complained she was just told sorry!! Avoid, avoid, avoid

Wont be back: Main Meals were nice enough, maybe a bit hotter than expected... side dishes not so good, i'm sure it was Uncle Bens rice, guy behind bar not as friendly or helpful as you would want: Asked for cocktails and got mumbled response so bought coke...

Had a 18th party there. Music, atmosphere was banging. One of wolves finest dj’s was there playing sets ‘Stuart ojelay. Brilliant night

Outstanding. Mixed grill is fantastic with everything you could ask for. Chicken and lamb really tender. Curries are fantastic. The atmosphere is brilliant. Been here a few times and excellent every time. Well worth the visit.

bar staff not serving drinks correctly, way too much ice. poor choice of cocktails. ordered Indian food , came all together with poppadoms and main meal. Two bottles of sauce, no chutneys as advertised. They did seem busy though. maybe we're just unlucky Lady who served . gave the ladies a free drink. like water again as too much ice. 😒

I have now eaten a few times now at Canalside. Each time, the food has been fantastic, the atmosphere very welcoming and the team were very attentive. I would like to thank Rav and the rest of his team at Canalside for a great experience. Highly recommended.

Ordered 3 lots of burgers and the restaurant hadn't got any burger buns. Swapped for wraps, this caused a delay of about 20 mins. Driver's sat nav took him to wrong end of the road and had to meet him outside. Delay and swapped food took shine off a otherwise good meal.

Decent enough, greeted by a friendly waitress. A long wait for food, 45 minutes. Pakora was missing from veggie mix grill when it did turn up. Indian wrap was nice, spicy chips good too. We wouldn’t rush back, but ok as a one off.

Extremely tasty food which we all enjoyed, and you get plenty of it , but service was very slow. Will definitely return again though as it was a Saturday night and the place was packed 👍🏻

Only been a few times but never disappointed. A very nice room too, airy and bright

A lovely warm atmosphere with very friendly staff. We went to try the new menu out and it did not disappoint. I tried the chilli halloumi fries which were amazing along with the desi chicken curry. I will defo be coming back to try the pizzas

Went for a meal with my mom and sister this evening, and it did not disappoint l, the cocktails were the best I’ve had in ages, and they were 2 for £12 which I think is really good, and the food was next level I had the mini mixed grill and there was loads On there couldn’t eat all of it, full of flavour the others had a wrap and a curry which again were both delicious Definitely recommended, Also staff were very friendly

All of the meals were stone cold.. chicken tikka and the wrap also both chips all had to be put in the microwave before we could eat them. Don’t expect to pay over £40 for cold meals

Rav is best host ever, food is excellent , service is accomodating and the ambience is on point Best mixed grill and high end pub Wolverhampton has to offer 11/10

I've been to the canalside bar and grill numerous times but not since the launch of the new menu. I ordered the large mixed grill with naan for £20. I have to say it was probably the best mixed grill I have ever eaten. The lamb chops and fish pakora were delicious in particular, but couldn't fault anything. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting authentic, delicious Indian food.

The food was excellent, and the cocktails were amazing.

The food was superb. The spices and texture was outstanding. Truly authentic cuisine. Loved it. Definitely be back can’t fault it. Perfect. Compliments to the chef.

Food is excellent, especially the mixed grills. Nice setting inside and out.

Food was good, service was poor

Lovely food, service was brilliant and overall enjoyed my experience

I live outside the area and was visiting some family members, so one of them chose the venue. From the outside it was not very impressive but inside it was interesting. Much more importantly, we were greeted immediately and politely and throughout the evening the service was very friendly and helpful from everyone we met. The menu was informative with plenty of choice and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. What really made our experience unique was that when I went to pay the bill and told the owner how much I wanted to add as a service charge he replied 'I can't take that amount just pay the bill amount.' Despite further discussions that's all he would take and he ended up with 'Just come back again and recommend us to your friends'. A truly unique experience in my whole lifetime!
