Indian Brewery Snowhill in Birmingham

We ate at the Indian Brewery on a wed evening, it was quiet which is the only reason I didn't give it 5. The decor sets the scene for Indian street food and it really does deliver on the promises of such a cool setting. The staff were pleasant and friendly, the menu was intriguing, the food was very well presented and tasted as good as it looked. It's fabulous, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The beer is fresh from it's own brewery and the staff took pride in putting a perfect pint. The 2 for 1 cocktails went down well with half of our party of 4. We ordered too much food between us and begrudgingly had to leave some of the fries. But 4 of us ate like kings, had 2 x pints, 4 X cocktails and more food than we could eat and it was still less than £25 each. Don't pass this place, it deserves your custom.

Nice little restaurant, fabulous for a group but we did need to wait some time for our food.

Lovely food and excellent cask ales. I recommend thet you book as it gets very busy.

Some great local beers on offer and lovely snacks. Will definitely return.

cute spot with really nice food, a nice mix of british and asian from what i can tell. yeah, really yummy. good drinks too ofc

Great atmosphere. Menu can be better but still a good selection of items.

Great little restaurant with a cracking atmosphere, authentic Indian cuisine with a street food twist! Highly recommended & cannot wait for the tap room to open down the road.

Absolutely superb service and food. Lovely beer, and nice atmosphere. Well done!!

The nan bread specials are great 👍

Return visitors …100% our happy place Great beer and food with a fantastic vibe

Just finished my meal here and can safely say the food is amazing, the service is amazing. I had the butter chicken curry and it was delicious.

Fantastic, customer service and reaction times could be improved but overall, 5 stars

Amazing food and fairly easy to locate. Loved the Butter chicken and all in all a very affordable meal. The range of choice was almost daunting but great to see and the selection of drinks was perfect. Can't wait to go back

Loved the vibe here. Fat Naan and Indian Fish and Chips were really nice. Really great service and can't wait to go back and also visit their new taproom.

Great vibe. Being Indian, I can can this food is very authentic. The aubergine vegetable curry is the best. Butter chicken was also great, but i prefer my chicken in chunks and not shredded. Don't quite get the 'fat naan' hype, the naans aren't really fat, but nevertheless a great place to eat. They also have lots of different beers, I'm not a beer drinker, so didn't try.

Ich habe letzten Sonntag ein indisches Restaurant in der Innenstadt gesucht. Auf Empfehlung eines Polizisten bin ich hier gelandet. Eigentlich wollte ich noch ein indisches Curry auf meinem wochenendtrip bin dann aber bei den Naans gelandet. Erst ein gemischtes und dann noch eins aus Föllerei, weil es einfach so lecker war! Dazu ein Bombay honey ( hatte ich erst etwas bedenken, war aber super). On top ein witziger laden und super freundliche Bedienung. Ic würde dort immer wieder hingehen und noch die vielen anderen Sachen probieren wollen . Kann ich nur bestens empfehlen

Found this place by chance and wasn’t disappointed. We had the delicious fat naans and masala fries. Generous portions, good vibe, funky bar. Would definitely recommend.

The food was good. The staff were pleasant, accommodating and attentive. The place has a good retro India vibe.

Unbelievable tasty street food at Knockout prices There was so much in offer couldbt make my mind up The atmosphere was relaxed service was very good Now the food , masala chips omg to die for , the half and half nanns were sumptuous and so full of spices Will definitely be returning

Awful service, rude and confrontational staff who didn't seem to know what they were doing. Worst experience I've had in 20 years which is an achievement

Astoundingly bad service. Food and drink may be good (I tapped out before I got there) but service was awful from entering to leaving

Great food and good range of beers

We popped in for a quick drink on a Sunday afternoon. Limited selection available on tap. Even some of their own beers were missing. Those that were available were underwhelming at best. The "creamy stout" they advertise is actually just camden stout - false advertising? . Not worth a visit for the beer.

Lovely food, and good service! Can get busy so make sure you book during peak times

If you fancy some curry and good beer this is a great place to be . Good selection of beer and the food is delicious

Amazing food and beers, we prebooked to avoid disappointment. Service was great, but personally, the atmosphere could be improved by playing more South Asian music and smaller (cosier) tables. Loved the aesthetics of the arches, decorated in vibrant Indian art and old bollywood posters.. Cannot wait to return. Highly recommend to everyone.

The food - particularly their Fat Naans are absolutely worldly. The flavour is sensational and the portion size plentiful. Their masala fries also delicious and plentiful. The service is the best you’ll find in Brum and the vibe is great. The beer is average at best. Going on the Cobra vibe of flat, bland pale/lagery drinks to have with a curry. But come for the food - 5 stars all the way!!!

Literally nothing bad to say about this venue. Ok you don’t come here for white starched line. And soft music but that’s the whole point! It’s clean, food is outstanding and reasonable prices and the atmosphere is designed to make you feel like you’re enjoying a Delhi street vibe. If you like Indian style food with no drama then get down there.. now!

One of my favourite places to eat. It never disappoints.

Called in while in Birmingham for training. Very friendly welcome. Great choice of food, with super quick service. Food was excellent, and great beer as well, what more can you ask for. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Lovely little gem ran out of beer quick and weren't very fast at serving we didn't know that food stopped at 9 could be so much more this little hidden gem

Great food, friendly efficient staff and good cocktails. What's not to like?

Last week I (group of 4) visited this place by a recommendation from friend. It was really great food especially the fat naans and masala loaded fries under a good ambience of 80s Indian cinema posters around. Thank you Nicola for the recommendation.

Just as brilliant as it has always been. Erm. Not much else to say

Stopped off for a craft beer and had to try the food. What a great menu but we just wanted a snack so opted for the crispy rolls and yoghurt shots!!! If you have never had yoghurt shots then you have been missing one of life's mysterious delights! Wow!! Also known as Dahi Golgappe, puff crispy shells filled with chutney, sauces, chickpea and coriander. I could eat a bucket full! A bit like when you load a poppadom with all the accompaniments, only better! A really good range of beer on tap, keg and cask too. Cans available to carry out too. We plan to come back for a full meal sometime. Definitely recommend. Friendly attentive staff. Urban utilitarian decor with more than a hint of Bollywood. A must visit if you like good beer and food. We enjoyed it so much we went back for dinner in the evening!

Very few beers on draft really disappointing

Top service from the team and the food was also spot on. Fat naan was my personal favourite, epic flavours and proper loaded. Loved the seletion of beers available and the vibe under the arches gives it a great atmosphere too. Can't wait to revisit with the rest of the family.

This is a bit close to our place of work and this is always our sought after destination for after work parties and send offs or get togethers. The craft beers are quite nice and not to forget the amazing food they serve. Brilliant place!

They do two vegan faat naans which were decent. The Vegan Power and Big Plant 💯 recommended by the food blogger on Instagram HungryOlivethethyme and wasn't disappointed 💯

Amazing family run place. The family are so nice! I'm fussy and never drink beer but I enjoy the Juicy Mango so much!

Cool place but very small, we couldn't stay to eat because they had all the tables reserved despite the place being fairly empty

Lovely staff. Great food. And the beer is decent

Visited this place located in Snowhill , Birmingham. Amazing atmosphere with old Indian movie posters and Indian music in the background. Small and compact menu to choose from . The drinks menu is fancy and has loads of options to choose from. Tried Chilli chicken , chicken roll and samosa chaat. The only downside is that the dishes were too damn sweet even for an average Indian dish. Tasted more like a dessert than an Indian starter. I believe it would be helpful if we mentioned the spice level while placing the order itself. The Brewed beers were flavourful and refreshing.

Great place! Absolutely delicious butter paneer curry, attentive staff, wide range of beers. Not awkward at all as a solo diner - made to feel welcome.

Very friendly, reasonably priced and food was excellent

Have been twice first time the food took over an hour and we weren't offered a drink for 30 mins , it was a large group of us. The 2nd time was just 3 of us and the food was quick and service much better, the atmosphere is a little strange the staff aren't very welcoming and it's like eating in a canteen very disengaging and not very comfortable. A bit of a warehouse vibe works in the summer, but not so much on a rainy day.

Decor great, food superb and staff lovely. Faat naans and butter fries a must!

It is a good place with good beers and great service. We ordered for Jubel peach beer and peacock beer. Juble Peach Beer was amazing, and I would recommend everyone to give it a try at least once. It was sweet and flavourful. For food, we ordered the Mix grill, which was also good and also chilli cheese coriander naan in which I felt the cheese was less . The only drawback in the mix grill was lamb chops as the meat was very chewy. All in all, it's a good place to visit and have some nice beers.

Having seen the reviews I visited yesterday whilst on a day visit to Birmingham. The food was amazing and all the staff were so helpful and kind. I can't recommend this place enough. It's so good and I will be back here (or in the new taproom which they are opening shortly) on my next visit to Birmingham..

Amazing food and great decor! Very friendly and attentive owner! Definitely recommend 👌🏽

Has a cheeky lil atmosphere with beautiful staff and some bang on food. Feels like a slice of India.

The peach lager is awesome, but so far the ales have been a flat, sorry affair. Food is reasonably priced and the service is lovely. The place itself is really cool, especially when there's lots of people there. Perfect place to start or end a little pub crawl around St Chad's and St Paul's. 👍

A must-visit when in Birmingham, this spot offers an exceptional in-house brew that sets the tone for a great experience. Their masala fish and chips are a standout, blending traditional flavors with a delightful twist. My new favorite discovery, however, is their potato and aubergine naan bread—an inventive and delicious dish that I absolutely love. The combination of flavors and textures in each dish is superb, making it a culinary destination you won’t want to miss.

Great experience. Real rustic gastro type feel in the bar/restaurant. Food very good quality and decent beer. Service good.

No halal options. But they do have fish and vegetarian options. Good vibe. Food is fresh and reasonably priced. Good selection of different drinks. Maybe less if you're looking for non-alcoholic options. But you should still find more than enough options. Would Reccomend

Ishaanth, Jonny and Ashwin, were amazing people. They were up-to-date with the menu and very polite. Make sure that you definitely try out this place!!

The food, beer, and service were amazing. Very friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere. We are so glad we made this stop, it's a must try in Birmingham!

Absolutely amazing food and amazing Pina Coladas!

Delicious beer, delicious food. Great place!

First time here & food was amazing! Service was a little slow at times but other than that, was very impressed. Will definitely return at some point!

Really cool vibe, delicious food and drinks, busy and buzzing! Four of us had four types of the fat naans. All very good but the chicken run one was exceptional. Really liked the peach lager too. Not super cheap but it felt like good value for the experience over all.

I loved this place, such a modern interior, great food and I loved the IPA that I'm told is brewed on site. We were an ad-hoc party of 10 and the staff didn't think twice about sitting is our with a table.

Great food, lovely beers, and friendly staff.

Sometimes a bit hit and miss when very busy food can be only warn at these time but on other occasions we've had a really nice time.

Great concept, great staff, especially the manager. Lovely food , good beer

Best Indian restaurant in town - great food, lovely atmosphere and excellent service from Ash & Team.

Great Indian Street food and an excellent selection of beers in including their own ales.

Decent prices, great spot for a quick lunch.

Recommend the Bombay thali, good simple Indian street food done well.

On an early hot summer afternoon as a tourist playing the Niantic augmented reality game called Ingress, I noticed that this establishment was included in the game map. I was grateful that they had a selection of various IPA in the large fridge, although initially the assistant who served me was not clear on his understanding of what IPA is, as he tried to offer me something else. Perhaps it was me being unclear, who knows. It was too early for me to eat, but the Indian dishes looked fantastic!

Mate. No jokes aside. Im here now writing this review waiting for me food. It’s been an hour and a half since we ordered our food. Come on. All 4 of us are hungry !!!!!!

Went here as part of the JQ event. Nice taproom and resteraunt. Had a pint of Camden Stout and a Faat Naan kebab king. Brother had light beer and a Faat Naan Chicken Run. Beer board shows whats on draught plus cans available.

Had butter chicken curry for food which was amazing. Great collection of craft beers. In particular the peach lager was amazing. Others in group has fat naans which also looked great. Would definitely return again to try different things. Went on Saturday evening and was full so worth booking if going then. Service was very good and only minor thing was cost of some of the food (e.g. masalla fries) was a little bit on the high end for what you get

Nice place. Their onsite brewed beers and a few guest taps. Good selection. Interesting spins on Indian street foods. Flavors were okay. Service a bit lackluster. Worth a visit but not a destination.

What a fabulous place! The food is delicious, authentic. The beers are also spot on, the decor takes you straight to India. Staff is lovely and the owner very friendly, they managed to get us a table on an extremely busy Saturday night without a booking, albeit after a bit of a wait. Whenever we need a bit of India, this place hits the spot, as the atmosphere is lovely. Always a favourite!

What a busy place .. Nice to see it working 5*****

Fantastic vibe and food. Traditional Indian menu with wide range of selection. First-class service by Aditya and Nishant. Chefs did an amazing job with the spices, preparation and presentation of food. Staff were very attentive, polite and professional. My friends from China and myself from Delhi, India; loved the brewery+restaurant.

Wow, haven't expected this. Very refreshing and tasty not too spicy dishes. Great selection of craft beers. Definitely recommend!

The fish and chips us huge and crispy. Also, great beers ! 🍻 We came back for more.

Thought it was expensive, but there was a lot. Would be nicer to be able to be able to put your own sauce on - too much made it soggy, but still very nice

great food, service and general vibe. The pakora pops are as good as I have ever had. The faat naans were delicious. Excellent selection of drinks.

Great food and beer selection - something of a twist on traditional Indian food - highly recommended.

Walked in alone at lunchtime, straight to the bar at the front, just ahead of a group of 7-8 people. I was asked if I had a reservation before the lady realised I wasn't part of that group, and then the tone towards me seemed to change and attention shifted to the others to be seated first. I suppose this is understandable as there were more of them, but it's more how impolitely I was brushed aside like maybe I was a problem, in the way or something. I didn't mess anyone around, I knew exactly what I wanted to order and as soon as she was back to serving me, I ordered my food and a beer, and I paid up immediately. I was then kind of left to find myself a table, and I deliberately sought out the smallest one as I was alone. Despite the fact the place wasn't very busy at the time and how things had gone so far, I still wanted to be courteous and take up as little space as possible. I don't normally mind my food taking a while as it's usually a good sign, but I did notice people coming in after me, being seated, having their orders taken and then getting their food before me. I also noticed a few times everyone else in the room got asked if everything was ok, & I got ignored despite being in close proximity to everyone. I didn't really mind this as I usually can't be bothered with chit-chat while I eat, but it was becoming obvious I wasn't really welcome there. The food was quite average, so that may explain why they may possibly be anxious about desi people visiting and catching it out. I was the only desi customer in there. Since this experience I have read other desi peoples' reviews and seen that this kind of experience is a recurring issue here. As I was done eating and about to leave, I leaned back to take a sip of beer & accidentally made eye contact with the lady who had served me at the start while she tended to another group, so she then prompted herself to ask "ok?" in a stop-start way. To which I just nodded and made a hasty exit away from the awkwardness. I have given an extra star because credit where it's due, the beer was really nice.

Guy was on his phone for 6 minutes then wouldn’t sell me a pint glass. Haven’t been to other breweries in Birmingham but I have to imagine they’re better than this one.

Food lovely. Atmosphere brilliant. Service in terms of bill horrendous. Double charged for more than half the bill. Not even a sorry. Very random and makes me doubt their legitimacy. Think they are trying it on Tried to tell us it was a computer glitch. Shame. Won’t be returning

We were able to sit without a prior booking which was nice. It did take a bit of time to get a table for two, even though there were tables available. We ordered a few things to share which again, took about 25 minutes to come out, but when they did, they were all very hot and fresh. Drink selection was very varied too!

Really good contemporary Indian food

Amazing craft beers and Indian street food, the service was very good as well we would have fresh pints at our table as we were finishing off our previous ones.

Food was good with a wide variety. Atmosphere was just right for a group night out. Service was a bit slow. Masala chips were nice. Would recommend.

Food looked so delicious but tasted OK. Lamb chops were not cooked properly and was a bit raw. Masala chai tasted bad. Very good and friendly staff . May not recommend to friends

Great food in a great atmosphere. Served all together. Large selection of food and drink

Delicious food, generous portions. Served very quickly. The employees are absolutely adorable and very attentive. The atmosphere and decoration provide real added value!

March 2024: still fantastic. Service. Atmosphere. Drinks! March 2022: What a pleasantly weird place. Never been to an Indian/Brewery - in one! Very unique! Fantastic concept! The food looks and smells amazing. It's like a street kitchen, but with craft ale on tap! Had we not have eaten before getting there, I'd have had the Mixed Grill, which looked big enough to share, with a side. We had the Bombay Honey golden pale ale, 5% and a couple of cheeky shots! Very reasonably priced, both drinks and food! Good service and friendly staff!

Absolutely cracking. Butter chicken was really good, great range of beers. Welcoming and relaxed with attentive staff. I will be back!

Really bad, tasteless food. Whoever finds this food tasty, seriously hasn't eaten good food. Waste of money. OK for a beer if u drink. Crap customer service too. Wouldn't go again

The food was absolutely amazing. Authentic and really tasty. The cocktails and beers were brilliant too. Went with family and friends. Kids loved it. We will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend eating here. I would say it's the best Indian food I've eaten at a restaurant.... And that's compared to restaurants in India too! It is that good! Don't even think about it, just go!

Visited with friends, food was fantastic everything we ordered was delicious. Good selection to suit everyone. Friends who had cocktails commented on how good they were

Such an amazing place. Great food (the mixed grill is too big for one, believe me I tried!), beer (definitely recommend the Juicy Mango), and the best service. Even allowed me in with my little dog.

Love this place, been a few times now after doing escape rooms and everything I’ve tried on the menu is incredible, love it

Simply one of the best curries I've had. Cannot recommend highly enough
