Amritsari Kulcha was disappointing. It was more like naan. Every time I went to Birmingham I would eat at Golu da dhaba. But now receipe has changed no point going there.

Food is really authentic but too spicy ,I like the food but it’s spicy for my family ,so there should be limit of mild to med or med to hot spicy in the dish ,if it’s too hot then no one taste it .Just recommendation otherwise everything is good

I asked for Extra Channa while ordered Amritsari Kulcha. the staff member was rude and refused to give extra channa with it.. even i mentioned to pay for extra channa .. but really disappointed and disgusting place ever seen in my life.. i recommend stop going there... no card payment just cash, doing illegal work activities.. shameless.

Simple place with authentic and outstanding Punjabi food. The service is quick and the guys prefer to speak Punjabi. We had an amazing time with wonderful food and quick service.

All food is amazing, amritsari kulcha, baingan bharta, chole bhature. The lassi are good but can bit something too sweet or too thinned down for a lassi.

Visited this with family after seeing some online reviews. Parking is nightmare over here and you need to park on pavement. Ordered veg starters which were not worth the price and tasted bad. Next up Amristsari Kulcha, lassi and chole Bhatura. Didn’t like chole bhatura but lassi and kulcha was top notch. People who visit this place don’t bother ordering starters , just have kulcha, it’s their best selling dish and was the best I have had as well. They take only cash as payment but I did see a lady paying by card so unsure what the policy is.

If you are looking for an authentic punjabi food comparing to what we generally get everywhere in the UK, this is the place. We have been here couple of times and each time it has exceeded our expectations. The best is the Amritsari Kulcha - Crisp, freshly made, served hot. Second best is Chole bhature. Great place, ambience wise and hospitality wise too.

This place has been a new management recently and my first experience has been most terrible. I visited with a friend for an evening catch up after work. We had a nice meal but the lady at the desk (who is supposedly Miss Punjaban UK) kept on disturbing our chat repeatedly as she wanted us out the moment we finished our meal even though more than half of the restaurant seats were not occupied. She lacked basic manners and we felt like being thrown out of a restaurant by someone who didn't known ABC of British manners. Never visiting this place again and wont recommend to anyone who has self respect.

Arriving at this rather depressing corner of industrial Smethwick, expectations of good food were rather low. The rather shabby building on a street corner surrounded by old factory units and semi-derelict buildings isn’t the most inviting place to dine. Nevertheless, and keeping an open mind, we went in and found the place empty and in semi-darkness although it was quite early in the evening. Our host was rather indifferent to our presence making no effort to offer us menus. We eventually found one and ordered one of their signature dishes, Amritsar Kulcha, as one of our starters. This had been recommended to us and it was really was very tasty. I would have this again anytime. The Nan and the Rice were also very good. Sadly, that’s as good as it got. The Fish Pakora was very dry and tasted as though it had been cooked and re-heated, the Keema was virtually tasteless. The Chicken Curry was just about okay but really nothing special. The only draft beer on offer was one of the UK-made pseudo-Indian lagers but the barrel was empty so we were forced to buy bottled beers. They charged us £5 for a 300ml bottle of lager, the stuff you buy at the supermarket for little over a quid. This is disgraceful. All in all, a not very inviting meal in a not very inviting restaurant

Ate here after mooring on the local canal. This was the only place to eat. First the good points: food is great and they swept the floor under our table before we sat down after we asked them to. The negatives outweigh the positives. The place is filthy, food up the wallpaper, radiators black with dust and your feet stick to the floor. They charged 5 pounds for half a lager which was supposed to be bottled Stella. No bottle and no price list for drinks. Don't go here if you want a clean restaurant and a pint, do go if you want good food and don't care about hygiene and being ripped off for your alcohol.

We as a family had been here few times an we enjoy the food. best things to try are their Amristeri kulcha and lassi. unfortunately the people who serve were not that warm and didn't really want to engage in conversation, maybe this is because we want on a Sunday afternoon they were short of people. the place could do with a bit of more ambiance and appeal.

Went there last week with a friend and ate "sarsoon ka saag" there. That was freshly made and tasty. Today went there for the same dish but as a takeaway. Got the food came back home really axcited about my favourite dish however when i opened the box i was deeply disappointed to see that it is not the same dish as i ate in the resturant. I am 100% sure that they gave me tin saag which cost only £0.70 and theh charged me for same £6.00.Piece of advice if you got there to get take away food always open the food box and check before you leave because they will never agree if you call them later and complain about it.

We have been to golu da dhaba a few times now but we’ve noticed that recently there’s been a decline in the taste and quality of food and service. This is used be our regural go to place for a party at work but that doesn’t happen now. Hopefully it will come back to what it was soon. 3 stars for the nice food we’ve had from here in the past.

Waited 35 mins to get a waiter to pay attention. Menu had a lot of variety and appetizing choices which were all very reasonably priced. Ordered the Amritsari kulcha, fish, tandoori chicken, chicken biryani, lassis, butter chicken. The salty lassi was HORRIBLE! Amritsari Kulcha and fish was fine. The rest was barely tolerable but I was shocked how poor the service was. The only thing that makes it a Dhaba is the prices are low. Will never go back again!

Very good value for money food. Only downside is that this is a strictly no alcohol zone. Not even a BYOB! So no chance of enjoying a Kingfisher or Cobra with your meal :(. Highly recommend the Bhatura and Ameitsari Kulcha. Massive portions, just FYI.

Visitamos este lugar para la punjabi y esperé durante 60 minutos para ser servido. El personal ha dicho que es habitual en los fines de semana que es chocante. Ya que es un tiempo de espera después de que dio la orden. Relleno de patata en kulcha era sosa y sin cocer. Kulcha estaba sin cocer desde dentro y muy gruesas. Parece como que estoy comiendo la masa. El aparcamiento es limitado. Yo no volveré. Es una decepción total y pérdida de tiempo. Aunque el personal era acogedor y amable.

Otro 30 minutos llevó a mi preguntándoles cuánto tiempo tardará el pedido y me informaron de que iba a tomar una hora porque estaban muy ocupados. Yo tenía mi esposa y dos niños pequeños conmigo y sentido común podrían determinar que la información debería haber sido nos dijo cuando entramos en el restaurante - no 50 minutos más tarde. Sencillamente no se puede tratar a los clientes de esta manera! Hemos estado antes y cuando nos las arreglamos para conseguir el fin de la comida era buena.

What can I say except what a embarrassment it was to me......I arrange a business meal there with a very important Punjabi clients who like hot, spicy foods.... on reading the reviews it's look like a nice place in smethwick , Birmingham and used to came for meal so many time when I got time but just like chef golu.we ordered Amritsar Kulcha's and tested it so blend just boiled potatoes,chicken was raw & dahi balla was frozen just like came from Antarctica.before that we waited food at least one hours . During that time we asked about chef golu where is he? who is owner of the restaurant , the waiter told me all staff & owner is changed, be co-operate us ,we are new while my food was running late........ that not a way for excuses .but funny why all staff me was giving that stupid excuse. And in that last when I asked to the manager where is golu chef he just kill his & mine time. Chef is out of station. What a shame

Este lugar me recordó a un dhabba en real de la India. El lugar y la decoración era estilo india dhabba también. Tardaron sirve comida y tardó un poco en llegar. Las bebidas también tomó años. Pedimos té varias veces y finalmente llegamos al final de la comida. Sin embargo, la comida era muy, muy bueno! Kulcha Amritsari es imprescindible. Las porciones eran de un tamaño decente ya que al tener platos de comidas.

Golu da dhaba was highly recommended by friends and thus was the reason we visited. There is very little to say about the ambience, much lesser to say about a dhaba which doesn't serve 'parathas'! This led to an immediate disappointment and would have lingered on if not for their signature, Amritsari kukcha'. This was the only saviour.Hygeine is not particularly commendable and it's poorly staffed leading to delay in service and compromise with hygeine.I wouldn't revisit.

Very good punjabi food. One of the best i have had. Flavours are mild but able to adjust on request. Accepts only cash - which is a disappointment. We were a group of 7 adults and 4 kids and spent on average 9 pounds per person for a hearty meal inclusing lassi and starters to share. Food is less oily and home cooked kinds.

Basic decor. Small place. Ordinary service. But the excellent food more than compensates for all that. The food is so authentic and punjabi that you will actually feel like sitting in a dhaba in punjab. The servings are good sized that you get full before satisfaction. Ehich is good i guess. Going there again tomorrow until fully satisfied !!!

Went here with family on a Sunday morning, no parking but that was ok we just parked on the street outside. Inside is nothing fancy, just tables and chairs. When the food came it was fab, tasted just like home cooking, the Amritsari kulcha was served just like at home on a thali with chana, yogurt and achar, other members of the family had other options and all the portions were a good serving. I was full for the rest of the day. The only disappointment was the spicey tea which was not a fresh brew it was an Asda spice teabag so the rest had tea when we got back home. Going again with a friend today, looking forward to it

Went there with friends, We all had the Amirstari Kulcha at £5.99, great price for small portion of chana curry, yoghurt, pickle, and an average size kulcha nan.I didn't fancy the kulcha nan, which had, potato, onions, inside it, So I asked if I could change the nan for a normal plain nan.....i was told NO!! its how the complete dish is served. The K nan was tasty, but I found it too heavy full of a potato mix, which in my opinion didn't really go well with the channa curry, you lost the last of the curry with the K nan.Some items are very expensive...ie, gulab juman at £1.99 for 2 pieces, a small portion of gajar halwa at £2.99, mango lassi at £2.99 for an average size glass, 1 popadom at £1.99. Food was tasty, but pricy!!!!

1st experience - Dine in- Very noisy due to loud music. Very basic and below average decoration. Too overpriced. Even well known resrurants in the area are cheaper than it. Ordered Halwa which was full of oil hence had to return it. Most waiters are from Europe who don't have much clue about Indian food.2nd experience- Take away- Didn't do delivery. Had to go and collect it. Charged the same amount as they would for dine in which I have never seen anywhere else. Food was bland except goat curry which I would admit was really tasty.Overall horrible experience. Will never go there again or order from them. I wonder how some people have given 4-5 stars. Overpriced bakwaas.

We went for a meal as a family 9 of us. Walked in waited for assistance , for well over 5 minutes. While a manger 2 other staff just stood around chatting way laughing, they acknowledged us.... Finally manger came across to us told him we have a table booked.. He looked confused, couldn't speak very well English , we spoke in punjabi, he said ow I'll put a table together... Waited further 10 minutes after trying to get a waiters attention, placed a order for soft drinks as they don't serve alcohol.... Wait a further 20 plus minute may longer for asking the 2 waiters and the manger where's our drinks and we would like to place an order for our starter... Some customer just got up and cancelled orders and left, they weren't busy.. Tables with dishes food left on after people had left a little while ago. Finally asked a female waiter to place order she didn't understand English or much punjabi, asked what was in a mix grill she walked away as she couldn't what dishes etc had in them..... Manger come placed order , still no drinks kids were kids were getting agitated and the adults ... Staff were polite enough ... Serves very poor, consistence no organisation , no a relaxed environment very basic ... Metal cups and plates trays, old factory lights on ceiling , told the manager when placing order can you cook the fish separately to the meat and vegetarian food as my parents are pure amritaran and i am allergic to fish, mix grill came fish right all on top the other meats I said to the waitress I told manger I was allergic could end up in hospital she said ill take it back get some more, we said no as we had already been there over a hour plus we didn't trust them, now very annoyed. Stressed frustrated so tried pick a a few piece around and eat, as I was staving , because the food was contaminated... I ended up with a mild allergic reaction on my lips swallow up... My wife had shollay pattory... For main I had keema... Very hot and spicy as staff don't as customer how hot they Would like, there dish returning to the kitchen , proper cowboy indian freshes working running the place. Majority off the customers were freshes ... They just serve one style off food, must say food looked great and tasted. Nice... I want to the toilets not toilet paper great... Come the cubicle and women come out the next one were both shocked and very embarrassed As I waited for my turn to use the sink, great experience.. I notice josh sticks burning they tucked into the electric. Wires blood hell! How dangerous "NOW I. KNOW WHY ITS CALLED GOLU DA DHABA"Warned my family of the bad. Experience.. Lazy staff , they were he getting very busy it was a numbers game making fast money .Got the bill over charged. Manger said some of the menu prices were wrong now ripped off to ,,,, we were approx over 3 hours... On the. Night me and my wife ended up with food poisoning. Sick And throwing up all night . We were sick off work.. All they care is making loads of fast money.. Sad Try me and family's poor experience, look forward to your similar experience and comment same as ours .My mate rajju Mann said there. Other restaurant in oldbury Wolverhampton rd is not better poor serves lack of understanding. Language barrier ... He was over charged when ordered over the phone extra £7 was told the menu price different because the misprinted wrong lol Regards. Surjit S Puriwal & family

We went for dinner in a group of 12 very loud girls to the new restaurant on Wolverhampton road. Staff were attentive, food was great. We had the speciality dishes mostly being the amritsari kulcha, some aubergine, some bhindi and a few other dishes. The food is excellent, especially the kulcha. The Wolverhampton rd restaurant is much much nicer than the dhaba on Rolfe street though the food is great in both. The best thing is the price, fish starters, huge mains, desert, coffee and bottled water and soft drinks throughout and the bill was £15 pp including a good tip.Unbelievable value for money and great food in a lovely new restaurant. Couldn't have asked for more, the staff were very attentive and did whatever was asked of them, from taking photos to bringing extra chilly. Symi was fantastic! We will return!

Amazing quality and taste of the food on each occasion (visited) about 5 times. The prices are crazy cheap esp compared to food of any similar quality and taste. The place is no frills, not for those looking for a romantic evening, it's for the food and food alone. The service can be hit and miss esp at busy times as they can be understaffed at peak times, it's because they are soooo popular for the good food. The best dishes are the amritsari kulcha, baingan bartha, desai bakra and mango lassi.

Just visited the newly opened restaurant in oldbury. I was really impressed with there service and the quality of the food.Walked into the restaurant and was welcomed by the manager and individual staff members. Ordered the masala tea which arrived within minutes. Followed my a mixed grill for starters and the chilli chicken, desi bakra and dhal for mains with other sides. Every dish was full of taste and looked fresh. There is a small selection of desserts n lassis but i was shocked with the ice cream i received. It was ice cream in a penguin toy. The owner came over to ask if everything is okay with the food, brings a warm touch to the restaurant. The prices are affordable and the portions are good sizes. The restaurant is really posh and decorated well. Will definately be going back as its a place were you can go with family and friends. Definately give this place full stars as you dont get that at many restaurants. Great food, keep it up!!

Have visited here on several occasions. Place has been refurbished recently. It was definitely needed. Food is delicious. They make it proper punjabi style according to your taste. It does take time for food to come but that's because it's freshly made. Be prepared to wait up to 40 mins.Service - a bit hit and miss. You can be standing at the counter quite awhile to place an order. They need to have one person take the orders and another to pass the orders to the kitchen. More staff required on counter and serving waiters.On our last visit we had to remind the staff that we were still waiting for our drinks 4 times. Apart from that the food is tasty and hot.Their mixed grill is never burnt neither does it taste like that charcoal taste if you know what I mean.They serve both veg and meat dishes. They do not sell Alcohol. They were allowing it to be bought onto the premises but on our last visit there was a sign stating no Alcohol allowed. Which is good as it's a nice place where you can go with young kids and family. We have been before where the men would sit with their bottles and get rowdy!!They accept cash only.Parking is on the side street only. Watch out for the traffic wardens though!

Meal was very tasty...we ordered desi bakra, matar paneer, lassi, naan, roti, biryani...Everything was the way it taste in good dhaba in India...Portions were good enough and on larger side.Prices are very reasonable, service was slow but very responsive and personal...Highly recommended for foodies...We went for paranthas, but we were told its served only till lunch...Look forward for another visit since its quite far from London...hope it will happen soon.

Love this place. Not the best location as parking a nightmare and nor the best looking restaurant but all is forgiven as food is lovely. Staff are attentive and very helpful. Limited menu choice but kulchas a firm favourite as well as tandoori roti and dhal makhni. Tastiest mango lassi. Great for lunch. Prices very reasonable. No alcohol license. Cash only. We love this place.

We have been here many times. Looks deceptive but very yummy food. Love their mango lassi and Amristari Khulcha. Shahi Paneer and all breads taste very good. We visit this place whenever we goto visit Dudley temple.

Food was amazing but the decor leaves a lot to be desired. If you can look past this then this place is definately worth a trip even if its just for the food. Possibly take out might be best next time.

I have been to this place multiple times, and sometime seven pick up food on my way back to manchester. You can't go wrong with certain items such as amritsari kulcha , paronthey, rajma-chawal. However, after eating all these your expectations are upped to a level you only hope the best amongst other stuff served here. Unfortunately chilly chicken or certain other dishes aren't upto scratch. With that said, no regrets to say I won't go again and I would always go there whenever I have a chance for amritsari kulcha. Staff are simple, polite and sincere guys, may be language helped me. This place is more about budget food with authentic tastet than decor, staff or parking.

So I decided to pop into this place after reading about it on trip advisor. When u walk into the place it looks really shabby and requires doing up. I opted for a take away. I had the Amritsari Kulcha it was different but nice, however you get chick pea curry and yogurt and onions all for £3.99 which is good value for money. I also has the chilli paneer it was nice but not too spicy, would have been good is the paneer had been lightly fried.

No frills tasty food at a good price and friendly service. Delicious Baingan bharta, Butter chicken, Bakri, Amritsari kulcha and a steel glass full of Lassi - Punjab style. Generally on the spicier side so have to tell the chef how you want it. definitely will be going there again

hi tried this place & it was average, don't get me wrong it's a good service, kind staff & very well located.. but the hype wasn't as I expected but overall it's ok. prices are reasonable as each item is individualised and any add on like chapatti or naan is priced separate.. each taste differs depending if you're a diner.., but would reccomemd to try for individual opinion.. my opinion is based upon what I ate n what I thought

I belong to Amritsar so i will say nothing can match that flavor But outside Amritsar, this is the best kulcha by far. It gives you that authentic touch. We also ordered tikki chana chat, it was also delicious. We did not like dahi bhalla much.Service was really good and with a smile :-)Moreover they had that typical punjabi accent which i loved. Not a hifi place, but do visit if you want to get the flavor of authentic amritsari food.

A friend of mine recommended Golu Da Dhaba to me a few months ago and I haven't been to any other indian restaurant since. The food is just like it is in the Punjab. The chole bhature are melt in the mouth and cost less than a fiver!I have only used it as a takeaway so far so cant comment on the service.Awesome authentic food!

Lovely Amritsari Kulchas and filled Paranthas. Both these items come to you hot in a tray with Chanas, pickle, onions and butter etc.

Worth a Visit. Their special; dish 'Amritsari Kulcha' is something you cannot find in anywhere else in Birmingham. Other dishes like chat and Rajma Chawal are also yum. I would love to visit there at least twice a month.

The food here is amazing, very tasty and cheap. However the decor and cleanliness isn't up to scratch. Although it is a dhaba It needs improvement- maybe some wooden furniture a little bit desi rather than the dirty furniture and random sofa. I would still go back for the amritsari Kulcha dish- it is mouth watering. Money well spent.

The food is very very good, don't expect to walk in and see a swanky restaurant because it isn't that. But it is clean with good home cooked style food and no mess

A good little place to go, when you don't want the formality of dressing for dinner but don't fancy fish & chips. Basic food which is not pretentious. Service is definitely with a smile & they seem to enjoy what they do.It deserves to be more popular and has a menu that you will definitely want to work through. It is neat & clean with no odours permeating from the kitche . The

Their speciality dishes are delicious! Especially the vegetarian options. I would recommend their famous Amritsari Kulcha and Aloo Tikki Chaat. If you can live with the basic ambience of the dhaba style cafe and off the beaten track location, then this place is definitely worth a visit. Very good value and friendly owners.

Dont come here if you expect fine dining. They serve good food at decent prices in a very informal setting. Fantastic for a casual evening.

This place serves authentic punjabi cuisine. A good indicator of this is how many punjabi customers you see in there.Atmosphere is ok, quite spacious for what it is, nothing fancy, food was decent. I'd say 7.5/10 for food, but I do test out a lot of Punjabi places, so have had better.Staff were decent, and well mannered. My wife really enjoyed her veggie options (Chilli Paneer & Shahi Paneer), we all enjoyed our Garlic naans.I thought my Fish Pakoras were great, my Lamb curry was ok, but not near the best I've had.

We have been going to golu da dhaba for last 3 years and we never get disappointed. Best authentic punjabi food in midlands from my point of view. Worth a visit and very reasonable price.
