Great place, nice pub/restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and some great beers on tap. The food is indian cuisine, and absolutely stunning. The staff are friendly and helpful. Can't fault anything, great place and will be returning when in Birmingham.

Actually quite disappointed with the food. It was only ok. Mixed grill was fine but the curries were just cubes of meat in a puréed sauce, no depth of flavour. Not authentic in my opinion having toured India. If you are looking for a nice pint and an average British curry it would suffice but lots of better food places to go in Brum.

A friendly taxi driver recommended this place for dinner and, not knowing Birmingham well, my mother and I decided to try it. We were so glad that we did! The atmosphere is unassuming, but don't be fooled. The food is EXCEPTIONAL!!! Possibly the best Indian meal I've ever eaten. Every mouthful was food heaven. The staff were also lovely. Would highly recommend!

Terrible Mixed Grill. Charging £30 odd quid for a large mixed grill with hardly any meat on it is astonishing. The cheek to even put Fish as an extra £6 too is wow when other places offer this included. Flavourless food, was like eating fried chicken from KFC. Way better alternatives to this place with better food.

I recently dined at Hen & Chicken with my wife and our two sons, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The highlight of the evening was the curry — rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. Every bite was a burst of authentic flavor that left us wanting more. The garlic naan was the perfect companion to the curry, soft and fresh with just the right amount of garlic. It was simply delicious. The restaurant itself has a wonderful ambiance. The setting is cozy yet modern, and the bar area adds a nice touch with its well-crafted drinks and friendly service. Whether you're grabbing a drink or enjoying a meal, the staff makes sure you feel right at home. Overall, Hen & Chicken offers a top-tier dining experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food, great service, and a fantastic atmosphere. My family and I can’t wait to return!

Restaurant & Grill Review I recently visited [Hen & chickens ] & Grill, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The combination of excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service made for a memorable dining experience. **Food Quality:** The grill specialties were the highlight of the menu. From perfectly cooked steaks to flavorful grilled vegetables, every dish was expertly prepared with top-quality ingredients. The menu also offers a variety of other options, including fresh seafood, hearty salads, and delicious sides, catering to a range of tastes. **Atmosphere:** The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy yet modern décor that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're dining with friends, family, or on a date, the setting is perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. **Service:** The staff was professional and attentive, making sure that everything was just right. They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Considering the quality of the food and service, the prices are very reasonable. You definitely get what you pay for, and more. It's a great place for a nice meal without breaking the bank. & Grill is an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys great food in a comfortable setting. Highly recommended for any occasion! ---

We got the chicken tikka masala. I’ve eaten this for over 20 years and have yet until last night had ever had it sweet. It was gross. The chick peas were good. The naan seemed to have some kind of oil poured on it rather than melted butter. And for the first time in my life, you had to order rice, it doesn’t just come with it. The trash outside blowing covering the streets maybe should’ve been a sign. Would NOT recommend.

Booked a table for Saturday at 3:30pm. Turned up and there were families who couldn’t or didn’t want to control their children all over the place and instead just wanted to get drunk. Very loud environment and lots of very drunk people shouting which meant we left before even ordering. Not worth the trek from centre of town at all.

The chicken in the mix grill was tasty but was a bit too hard. It didn't feel fresh and well marinated. The lamb chops and shish were amazing. The fried rice was pretty good too. The other dishes that my friends ordered were good too. The service was amazing. The two ladies who served us were really patient and nice to us. I hope the place does better justice to the name and serve better chicken

The Hen and Chickens would be so much better if they left you feeling a valued customer. As a group of eight having food and plenty to drink we spent a good few hundred there. Being asked to 'drink up quick, we're closing' at shortly after 10.00 pm didn't leave a good taste. We were well aware of the closing time but most food establishments would at least give you a few minutes to finish your drinks. We won't be going back in a hurry, in contrast we appreciated the warm welcome from the Gunmakers Arms around the corner.

Going to a curry house with generous meat portions, quick service, and authentic flavours is truly refreshing. I had the mixed grill, and everything was cooked fresh and served sizzling. I'm eager to go back and try more dishes. They also offer a good selection of quality beers, which is a fantastic touch when enjoying a spicy curry. This place has a casual, pub-like atmosphere, making it perfect for a laid-back meal before heading into town, though perhaps not ideal for a date night.

Avoid like the plague. Rang 3 weeks ago to secure a booking for a group of 13 to eat and watch the boxing for the 18th. When I rang they were quick to inform me that they were showing the boxing and I proceeded to book paying £12pp for a deposit. I have now had a phonecall today to state they never intended to show the boxing and with 9 days left it is hard for us to find a suitable place. Poor showing on there part with them just offering an apology for being inaccurate from the get go.

We've been a few times and always really enjoy the food, so we booked to come again on Saturday. Unfortunately the food was just not on par with what it was previously. The fish pakora came out lukewarm and limp - it had clearly been cooked hours earlier and poorly reheated. Naan had a weird aftertaste. Curries were fine, but didn't quite pack the punch they did before. I'm hoping it was a one off so we will give it one more go, but it was a disappointing experience.

Disappointing experience. I have dietary requirements so tried to phone ahead but no answer, so popped in anyway - after being told yes we could be accommodated by one staff member, we bought drinks and sat to fill out an order form. Then a second staff member came to take our form, and asked a third staff member if that could be accommodated - who said no. Really frustrating as if we’d been told no the first time we’d have just moved on without buying drinks, or even better if the phone had been picked up, we’d have gone elsewhere to begin with. Would love to eventually try this place when they’re more open to fulfilling customer requests.

Nice 'oldy worldy' pub, you can easily miss it if not looking for it, close to the jewellery quarter. They serve a nice selection of Indian dishes. I had a chicken tikka, a little too creamy for me, but good. I'd recommend the mixed grill to meat lovers. We had a selection of things and everything I sampled was tasty and well done. I did come out smelling a bit foody as steam from the food skillets tends to fill the air. There is paid on road parking outside and in the side streets. It's free after 6pm They also provide a take away service.

Hen & Chickens offers a taste of traditional Punjabi cuisine, with dishes like tindeh sabji, mutter paneer, and channeh on their menu. While the restaurant aims to capture the essence of Punjabi flavors, the execution falls short in some areas. The naans, in particular, lack the authentic taste and texture found in many Punjabi grill establishments. Overall, the food at Hen & Chickens can be described as average. While it satisfies cravings for Punjabi fare, it may not leave a lasting impression compared to other options in the genre.

Best Curry House in Birmingham, relaxed Sports Pub vibe, a menu they give you a pen with, wondered what this was all about? You simply tick what you like to order, the waitress was very helpful as one of my friend's was Gluten intolerant and was helped with her selection. I would advise to try and book, it gets busy because it's good! I had a meat/ fish feast £29 was massive and couldn't eat it all, so definitely to share. It's the best place in the area, if you are coming late at night, l would advise having company and l was told you are not walking back on your own, l will give you a lift, just not safe for an old boy.

I am writing to bring to your attention a concerning incident that occurred on 24th February 2024 involving the manager at Hen & Chicken. I believe it is crucial to address this matter promptly, as it involves both abusive behavior and a complete disregard for disability precautions. During a recent interaction with the said manager, we had booked a table from 6 till 8. We rang ahead stating we will be late and arrived slightly behind schedule but at no point we were told that there would be a cut off time for ordering. We went to order food at 7:15 and got told we aren't allowed to as the booking is. Until 8, in 45 minutes the kitchen couldn't make food. We were served drinks without an issue 5 minutes after our table booking was up but they did make £80 from it. We questioned the food again and as time passed it was now 8:10 and still no food, the place was an empty pub and then me alongside my friends experienced a high level of confrontational and abusive behavior from the butch manager. Her tone and language were unprofessional and created an uncomfortable environment for all involved. I believe that such conduct goes against the principles of a respectful restaurant and is detrimental to the well-being of the customers. Furthermore, I would like to bring to your attention a specific incident that occurred on the same day involving our friend with cerebral palsy. He had gone to the disabled toilet and slipped and fell on the wet floor, there were no signs to indicate this but when mentioned one of the workers (Caucasian hench lady/they them) ran off with a sign to place it and have to audacity to shout at us claiming there were 3 signs already placed. At that point we were not drunk and nor are we stupid. They disregarded the safety and well-being of all customers. This not only poses a risk to his health but also highlights a failure in implementing and respecting disability accommodations. I understand the importance of maintaining a professional and inclusive environment. However, the recent incidents have raised serious concerns about the management style of Hen & Chicken. I request a thorough investigation into these matters to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to address the abusive behavior and to prevent any further disregard for disability precautions. We ended up going to Soho Tavern where we were accommodated with respect and the food was 10/10 unlike Hen & Chicken. I will not be attending again and will happily spend my money at Soho Tavern. I think nothing will be done but probably a message saying "please sent us a private message etc" Save your money and time and head to a better place. Ps parking is ridiculous too.

This place is perfect for people who appreciate great curry and real ale. It was a little noisy in the bar, however the manager was happy to relocate us to the rear dining room which was perfect. They are very busy most of the time making booking a good idea. There were two Purity real ales on tap and a wide selection of lagers. The mixed grill starter was a delight. I ordered the Keema Matar, this was too dry for my taste. Lisa, the wonderful lady behind the bar soon sorted things out. Overall a great experience.

The food was bland and catered more for the English palate not South Asian. The keema was dry and almost white so hardly any masala. The chilli paneer was an insult and the mutter paneer was too creamy. People normally say you can tell a good restaurant by the locals in it, well it wasn’t full of Indians which says who they cater for.

Another great meal. Authentic and delicious. Although this time a lot busier and noisier. The youngish waiter denied our request to just have a vegetable korma, and then said no when we asked to add some paneer to each curry which we were previously allowed and happy to pay extra for, however this was overhead by what seemed to be the owner who quickly accepted our request which was must appreciated! Will be back.

Ordered large mixed grill from Uber eats and the food came stone. Cold . No way has the chicken Tikka just come out the oven it was dry and cold. I called the restaurant and the manager Jillian didn’t have a care in the world didn’t apologize or anything just said call Uber eats it’s their problem. Shocking this place used to be nice but last 2 times I’ve ordered ira been horrible . Thanks for ruining my dinner and not caring about it . Much appreciated

By taking over this Victorian pub and adding a fuss free Indian dining experience, the Hen & Chickens offers Indian food at very reasonable prices. It's bringing people back into Hinckley, an industrial area of central Birmingham that is becoming fashionable again. I grew up in Birmingham and have eaten in too many Indian/Pakistani restaurants to remember, this one certainly won't let you down if you want a few drinks and a curry. Put a curry pub like this in London and it would have a queue outside.

Unfortunately we had a terrible experience at this restaurant. Me and some friends had ordered a mix of starters and only 1 main dish of noodles, we received the starters however waited over an hour for the Noodles despite asking multiple times. Eventually we were told an order for noodles hadn't even been made despite other waiters/waitresses reassuring us that it was on its way. Eventually when I asked to cancel the order after over an hour of waiting, I was told if it was plated up this wouldn't be possible, and it magically appeared a few minutes later. The waitress slammed it on the table and walked away without any apology/accountability. We had also asked for water multiple times and this was only given right at the end when paying for the bill. I understand it was a Saturday night and they were busy, however multiple people who were seated after us had received and eaten their food whilst we were still waiting. Extremely disappointed in the service and lack of apology/accountability.

They are so slow, it takes at least 1 hours to wait for the food to get ready. They don’t care about the customers concerns. Staff is very unprofessional. Will never visit again.

I have to say is the food was not good at all. I place that can’t even get the nachos right ! Worst nachos I’ve ever had left it after one bite. The lasagna was horrible with bland chicken inside. Lamp chops barely had any flavour. The mojito was ok. And to top it off it was very cold in the restaurant where the door keeps opening. Staff were alright maybe new as they were a quite forgetful.
