Koyla Kitchen at The Thorns in Dudley

Waited half hour for the carvery even tho it says 12 till 8pm we got there at 6pm and when we did get it it was all frozen veg mash was disgusting and gravy had no flavor at all won't be coming back again

Lovely food. Steak was cooked just right. Nice size portions. Carvery was amazing also!👏🏻

Good carvery, good quality meat joints. Asked for a table with space for pram and was accommodated. Well priced for what it is and bottomless soft drinks are a great idea.

Enjoyed the food and service. Reasonable prices. Good music. Thanks

Been twice in recent weeks. Had a curry first time. Mmmmm. Carvery today.mmmm Nice and clean. Staff friendly and very polite . Nice tunes in the back ground. Had a few beers in the bar before the food.was empty as we were quite early. But clean and tidy. And reasonably priced beers.

Great place. The soya mixed grill is delicious, as well as the salt and pepper chips! I ate everything offered . I waddled out full and happy! They even offer vegan naan.

Please was empty. Took 10 mins before we were seated. Server took a drinks order of 2 drinks and got both wrong. Went to get carvery after waiting 20 mins for someone to serve it and everything was stone cold. Place had only been open and hour.

What can I say, the food was exceptionally good value for money. Delicious, generous and absolutely full of flavour. The staff were friendly, polite and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be eating here again, without a shadow of a doubt.

I can’t comment on the atmosphere as I order via Uber eats but from the burgers to the carvery’s everything is exceptional my go to. Recommend Carvery Peri peri chicken burger with fries

Friendly welcome on arrival the staff all polite clean and spacious fantastic food always leave satisfied good value 😀 and family friendly service above and beyond always love to visit for a lunch hope to see you soon koala kitchen 👍

I got food poisoning from there

Horrible horrendous services delebrite lateness

Excellent carvery. 5 stars Poor calamari starter hence 4 stars

Very large pub. Loads of parking and the food area is big and can accommodate large groups and lots of people. The place is clean and well kept. Pint of Guinness was ok. Food was terrible however. The mix grill had the same seasoning and coating as every other piece on the grill which was disappointing. The curries were awful the spices weren't cooked properly and it was so overbearing with masala. Would recommend coming here for drinks but not the food.

Large restaurant selling 4 meat carvery and Indian food. We opted for carvery this Sunday which was well cooked with seven vegetables. Good value for money. Lots of staff. Would go again and try the Indian food which looked delicious. We had a table of five, large free car park. Respectable toilets, disabled entrance.

Food was good but the bar was very noisy would go again but would sit away from the bar

Excellent Sunday dinner. Attentive staff will be going back for the indian grill and looked lovely.

Friendly staff,food very good, family enjoyed it there ,will go again.

Over hour wait for foods, wasn’t offered drinks and took ages to order. Not enough staff

Carvery was brilliant at plenty of choice and all fresh hot food.

Haven't been here in a while but my wife and I had a meal here for our 3rd wedding anniversary and the food was exceptional. Will be coming back for more for sure.

Fab food, great staff, very friendly, 1st time visiting will definitely be back 😋 loved it 😀

When I come to visit my Daughter and husband who live near here we always come here for a meal I particularly enjoy the tandoori fish starter which I always have as my starter a young lady wearing black took our drinks order and our starter and mains order,the plates were bought out by a different young “lady” who was wearing a white top my plate was not clean ,so I said excuse me but could I have a clean plate please on returning she slapped this in front of me with the words here I hope this ones clean enough for you,with a bad intonation as if giving me a clean plate was an annoyance,how rude,this somewhat flattened the evening,the food was fine as always but,if this is going to be the attitude we face,I question if we will be back,

First time visit and very impressed with this place. Spacious and well furnished inside. We were at an extended family gathering of around 30 people. We were well looked after by the very helpful staff. Food was very tasty indeed and served hot. Would have no issues in recommending this place for either just a drink or a large celebration.

Indi and the rest of the great team looked after 29 guests of ours and delivered lovely food (thanks Abdul) I highly recommend giving it a try.

Our second time visiting the restaurant and we were not disappointed, lovely warm welcome from the manager, sister and the staff and friendly banter. Carvery was refreshed with lovely vegetables and meat prior to three of our party going up whilst myself and my dad ordered a really tasty curry. They can't do enough for you and cater to your every need. Thank you and see you soon.

Came here for a carvery with friends at lunchtime was greeted by a very friendly gentleman who was very helpful throughout, food was lovely and hot and meat was very tender, all staff were polite, I had cherry pie for desert which was delicious will definitely be returning

Always a great ambience with tasty food! Had the afternoon tea today and very pleased with the selection of treats and quality.

A delicious afternoon tea with great selection of sandwiches, teas and sweet treats.

Just returned after an excellent carvery. Time of visit: Tuesday 12:30 Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet (I would say 'calm'!) with an excellent music playlist filling in the background. The dining area is large enough to ensure each table has plenty of room. (This place is much busier at weekends.) Drinks: Good selection and reasonably priced. Food: (Carvery for us.) All of the food was prepared and cooked to perfection. Maybe the 'pigs in blankets' were a slightly expensive extra but we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It is fair to say that just commenting on the carvery does not do justice to the full menu. There is a broad selection available here including a full tandoori mixed grill. Desserts: Decent selection. Two of us opted for the cherry pie & custard which was beautifully presented (see photo). Service: Our hosts could not have been more pleasant and were very friendly. We all commented on how comfortable & welcome we felt. We will all be returning.

Very nice carvery, and would recommend the Biscoff sundae if you can manage it. There is plenty of parking too.

Fantastic food, great service, fast and great quality, booked again for birthday party... 10/10

Rude and unprofessional staff. poor communication skill.. No manner how to talk how to communicate..

Today we had a baby shower at koyla, the food and staff were lovely everyone had a great time would highly recommend ..... the children loved the bouncy castle

food was lovely but you still put cauliflower cheese on my order when I asked for it not to be but the rest of the food is lovely

As a gluten intolerant person I'm very wary of eating out but decided to give koyla kitchen carvery a try. We were asked straight away by the staff if anyone in the group had any allergies and when I replied yes the server said that the chef would be made aware of this. When we went up to the carvery section the chef was very helpful. He explained not to risk eating the roast potatoes or the roast parsnips as they were cooked in the same oil as the food with wheat. He made me an individual portion of gf gravy and two gf Yorkshire puddings. Thank you for your care it was much appreciated.

Have not been to Koyla for a while and decided to go there for Sunday lunch as when we used to go when we were local it was great! we drove 40 minutes to get there for a family Sunday lunch, i am not sure on the other food there now but the roast dinners were awful not edible meat was fry and the potatoes looked like there we left there for days on end, gray was so tick it looked like jelly, we had our bill which was just over £40 pound for 2 carvery's and a child's one and three drinks, i then stated that the food wasn't up to scratch and all i got was ill pass on your comments. there is some lovely places in Sturbridge that do roast dinners albeit a little more expensive, certainly get what you pay for there.

Popped in for a meal around 6 months ago, never been before but have returned many times. Absolutely amazing food, slowly going through the menu- carvery, hanging kebab, tandoori grills & the best curry I've ever tasted. Sides are really good too, massla chips, cheesy naaan and poppadom basket. Well worth a visit in my opinion 👌

First time won't be the last fantastic in every detail.well done

They do a great roast and have good menu options and also cater for vegetarians. It's well set up inside an open and spacious table seating plan.

Not very organised when ordering food, tells you they will be back then doesn't come. Someone else came over and told us our food was almost ready to be served but we wasn't waiting for anything, ordered carvery....sat us under a speaker with the music blaring to the point we couldn't even hear the server talk! Desserts are not worth the price for the amount you get! Portions were so small.

Well, this place is amazing excellent food, waiters are really nice, helpful and friendly. They have diffrent types of offer every day. The price is very good as well for four people. With the roast the turkey was on point and they gave a substantial amount which is nice. Really do suggest this place good for everyone.

Been in passed was mothers day treat and enjoyed every minute food. service. Staff bar. We're 10/10

So much meat, tasty gravy, smooth mash, good range of veg, everything was great 👌 The cherry pie was so pretty! Fab meal, couldn’t eat it all so get to have the rest tomorrow 👍😆

Food it's great, pasta is the best staff are lovely we went for a birthday meal not long ago. However we have just received a parking fine for using there car park which has put us off going again :( shame as we have always enjoyed it and gone many times:(:(

Thought we would try it and to be be honest unlikely I would go back we booked a table to be told when we arrived there was no booking made but we had conformation and the vegetables were under cooked , staff a little pushy for your order ,

Very nice place, staff are very friendly. Most importantly food was delicious.

Another lovely meal at The Koyla , treated our friend to lunch - as always great service, our meal choices never disappoint - the carvery was a hit with our friend , another perfectly cooked steak and a new choice of the hanging kebab - oh my - this was epic - we bought half of it home - love it here , always a super experience - see you soon !

Koyla Kitchen is a lovely bar/restaurant with friendly staff and great food. We have been here a few times and never had a bad meal.

Popped in randomly after we couldn't get a table anywhere else. What a Gem. Such a good find, very unassuming on the outside but the inside is a beautiful rustic room and the music is great while you dine. The food is AMAZING especially the curries couldn't recommend enough especially for the price. The quality of the food is top notch. Service is great and the staff are really kind. 10/10

First time here and went to celebrate my husband's birthday. Had a great meal. Will definitely be going again

Come here quite often with my partner or family/ friends and it never fails to disappoint. We’ve had the carvery, food from the menu & the bottomless brunch and I’d recommended it all. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. It’s good value for money and the food is perfect. Thank you so much for always making us feel so welcome. Will continue to return in the future and recommend to anyone!!

If I could give 100 🌟 I would !! Beautiful food beautiful cocktails and amazingly wonderful staff ! Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon tea+ cocktails for my nans 80th !! She has loved every second of it ! Thank you x

Just had a fabulous meal here. All adults went for sizzlers and curries. Very busy being father's day but staff were friendly and helpful. A special shout out to our waitress Agnes who made our visit special

Great experience and amazing service. Couldn’t recommend enough

We have been a couple of times both in the evening and for an afternoon tea. Both were lovely. Great staff too. Very pleasant afternoon..music was fabulous.

Dec nt service nice layout. Good food excellent drinks

Great place, great atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service!

Lovely experience afternoon tea, food was excellent and the service was quick and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing.

12 of us dined as walk in's on bank holiday, food was amazing! Portion sizes were amazing! 2 for 1 on cocktails, fantastic 👏.

What a gem of a place to meet , eat, sip cocktails and you can even watch sports on the t.v. in the bar. The food here is beautiful.. ranges from carvery to Indian sizzlers. The staff a friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. It is cheaper to have the bottle of wine rather than a couple of glasses. The draught beer is also at a very good price.

Been to Koyla Kitchen tonight had a lovely carvery and the staff were so pleasant would highly recommend 👌

I bloody love it Some of the best cocktails I've ever, we love Asha x

We went to the Koyla Kitchen for a bottomless brunch. The manager and bar staff were excellent, always on hand to order our next drink. My wife is also very picky with her food, but she ordered the hanging chicken tikka kebab, well done, and it was cooked to perfection. The chef even came out to check how she wanted it. Overall, fantastic service and great food and cocktails!

Fab drinks, fab food, fab vibe. 100% recommend bottomless brunch. Big shout out to Asha, wonderful service and Russ extremely generous

If you like noisy kids running around while eating then this is the place for you Food lluke warm hard Rock Garden peas very poor

The meal was lovely and thank you for delivering to us.

Been here a few times first time took a while to get served and assumed it was just busy but food was nice. Went back again and there was a birthday table with about 20 people which staff prioritised as if no one else in the restaurant was there. Had to call someone to get drinks order taken after about 30 minutes of sitting there, eventually got a drink after 50 minutes, drank half the drink and staff asking if we wanted more drinks when food wasn’t even half done. Took hour and 10 minutes for food to be served, nice food as always but by time it was served didn’t really feel the meal. Still bringing that drunk table drink after drink ignoring everyone else, visibly see every other person annoyed at slow serves despite that table getting desserts and drinks every 2 minutes. Obnoxiously loud but staff never told that group. When we finally wanted the bill the staff seemed shocked and asked if we didn’t want more drinks or desserts…. It was almost 2 hours by the time we had arrived and actually finished food. It’s the last time we will go again. Gets worse every time.

We had a bottomless brunch here for my birthday, the staff was fantastic and the drinks kept coming. This is a brilliant place to drink and eat.

Amazing staff and management, very helpful and happy, service with a smile. The food was 10/10 compliments to the chef. We received a complimentary bottle of red wine with our meals too. Clean and tidy. Toilets were immaculate. Will definitely be visiting again. Excellent prices. Thank you all.

Really enjoyed food and the service was brilliant

Had an afternoon tea for 2 here, great value, excellent quality of service and well presented fresh food.

food excellent. Delivery not so good. Gravy pots damaged most of the gravy was in the carrier bag.All containers covered in gravy. Hardly gave enough time to answer door looked as if he was going to leave at the side of the house. Can provide photos if necessary.

We visited today for the first time and had a really lovely time. The lady who greeted us was so friendly (I wish I remembered her name). We have a couple of allergies and she was so great with dealing with them. My husband, and children had a carvery each, my mum and I had a curry with naan and rice. The carvery was lovely & again the person serving was really clear and thorough with allergies and really friendly with my daughter. The curry’s were amazing. I had the butter milk chicken and I genuinely think it was one of the best curry’s I’ve had in a really long time. The naan was so fresh & clearly home made. We will be back & I can’t wait to try another curry. Thank you very much.

Attended for a family birthday celebration. Food was really great and the service was even better. Between us we sampled something from most sections of the mains menu. Everyone really enjoyed it. Great choice, great value.

Great experience, the staff are Very accommodating and friendly. It’s a very relaxing environment and great value for quality food and service, I hope to see you all again soon.

We have just visited the Koyla Kitchen for a Sunday Carvery. We haven’t been for quite a few years now but we will certainly be returning very soon. All staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent, good sized portions of meat and all the trimmings and plenty of freshly cooked vegetables. A variety of accompaniments and 2 choices of gravy. Delicious! The whole meal represented excellent value for money. Thank you.

Curry was awful...one of our party had the hanging kebab which looked lovely and she said it was.

We were here last night for food and a few cocktails, and it was lovely, got free processco on arrival, service was nice and food was very tasty, will definitely be visiting again x

Went for lunch and then returned for dinner! Was recommended by our hotel. Delighted to find a place that has everything I’d want on a menu…Indian, burgers, fish n chips…you name it. Friendly service and worthingtons beer.

FOOD IS FAB - QUALITY FOOD AND GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY CAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH

Great thanks will be ordering again and please don't stop offering the cherry pie as dessert it is lush

Bottomless brunch here is by far the best in the area! Great quick service, great food options and fun and friendly atmosphere. Very reasonable prices for what you can have in the time slot. Biggest cocktail menu which includes mocktails/soft drinks and beer. Big shoutout to Russ for ensuring we have the best time and nothing too much trouble x

Good food, good service! Had our engagement party here, had bottomless brunches here and are regulars every week and couldn’t fault any of it!

My recent visit to Koyla Kitchen left much to be desired. Despite the enticing exterior, the experience fell short of expectations. Upon entering, I was promised a short wait of 5 to 10 minutes for my order, but it stretched into an agonising 35-minute ordeal. This delay not only disrupted my lunch plans but also inconvenienced my colleague, whom I was supposed to bring food for. The lack of coordination among staff members was evident as my order was repeatedly delayed, with no clear explanation provided. The final straw was when, after a lengthy wait, I was instructed to queue again for the carvery section, only to be met with further confusion and delay. Frustrated and hungry, I ultimately decided to abandon my order and request a refund. The disorganisation and inefficiency marred what could have been a pleasant dining experience. Needless to say, I left empty-handed and deeply disappointed.

exc3llent hosts for our DSA get together. professional, efficient and most of all v tasty

Freezing cold food Disgusting customer service after complaining Poor food quality No edible

Tandoori mixed grill is mega Hanging chicken tikka kebab isalso amazing Service is superb. They really know how to look aftear large party booking.

Had an amazing night at Koyla kitchen for my 50th birthday. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Food was delicious, but the cocktails, omg...... they we're amazing. Strongly reccomend the frozen strawberry daiquiri. We all had to order a taxi home 🥳🎂🔥🥰 Thanks Koyla Kitchen

Nice looking place. Ordered rump steak medium rare was pretty much well done. Service was good.

Great food and very nice staff that were extremely helpful and made it a good experience

Food was lovely as always except we had no stuffing, roast potatoes or parsnips. Ordered a large so you would expect to receive these

Lovely large sized portion for a carvery was a little cool but a blitz in the microwave sorted it out

I usually love the Carvery from here, but I was disappointed tonight. I requested Turkey and Gammon but got no Gammon. No Stuffing balls either. And none of it was warm, not even the Gravy. 😢 Hoping this was a one off.

Never had any trouble with the food, always very tasty, friendly staff, average prices, dog friendly. Once we were starving, coming back from a holiday with a dog: we got lovely spot in the outside area, all staff very nice approaching my dog: which she loved! The other time I took a girl that hardly spoke any English. Staff still nice and friendly, not discriminating, they went extra mile to give her good meal just cuz she was visiting so she has good good impression and memories of England and English food. Highly recommend! Lovely food, relatively big portions.

Food was absolutely amazing, staff were wonderful as usual cannot fault Koyla to be honest love going here for food and drinks. We went as a party of 13 for my sons 10th birthday and loved every minute of it thank u all x

First time at the Koyla Kitchen was recommended and I can say we truly enjoyed our steaks, they were good cuts and the children's burgers were also very nice will definitely return and recommend we also had some lovely coconut mojito cocktails, atmosphere I rated as a four because I couldve enjoyed my meal a lot more if I could here the good selection of music playing but I couldn't, it was loud enough but neighboring tables were just louder as so close by. also it was so cold in the restaurant tonight tables near by all had coats on my son uncomfortably ate with his coat on as a result of no heating on.

Had a great family meal for my dads birthday. Food was great, prices were good, however the best thing was the service. The lady serving us (I was told her name was Agnes) was fantastic. Pleasant, helpful and even brought my dad a birthday treat. She was a credit to the Koyla Kitchen. We will definitely be going back.

My daughter booked us here for a family meal today 4th February for my upcoming birthday on the 6th, we had meals for 7 adults & 5 children, lovely clean place everything was wonderful realy enjoyed the food had a very lovely and friendly waitress.. couldn't fault the food or the service.The manager came and spoke to us at the table which I thought was a lovely touch. Never been before but we will definitely be back. Thank you for making our family meal one to enjoy.😀

Another great Cajun chicken burger. Panko onion rings are out of this world.
