Old Moseley Arms in Birmingham

Nice pub The food is not great all the time

Nice beers, good food, great outdoor space, decent staff. Probably a little pricey

Went for a celebration of a life, unfortunately there wasn't the staff to meet the amount of people who was there. Atmosphere was fantastic. Food was great.

Very quiet there was 3 of us and there wad a table of 6 or 7 and that's it

Proper pub with good selection at reasonable prices. Also probably some of the best Indian food available in the city. Massive outdoor area for all weather.

We were trying to watch cricket at Edgbaston but the good old U.K. weather had other ideas. We looked for a nearby pub with good beer and didn't we find it here . Beautifully kept Bathams and Enville were superb. I'd never tried either before.We had been hoping for lunch , but sadly food wasn't on until 5pm . Really good pub and as someone who regularly has to drink beers from Manchester breweries, people of Birmingham you should be proud of your local beers . They knocked anything from Manchester into a cocked hat!

We take all our visitors to the Old Mo as it is a proper Victorian pub with excellent food and great beers in a wonderful atmosphere.

Interesting Desi pub with good Indian food (we saw a lot of it but didn't eat ourselves). Outdoor area too hot and lacking ventilation. Good ale selection but would have liked an IPA option. And had run out of lemon...

My mate and I followed the good reviews for this pub after a day at the Test Match. Believe what you read! Great atmosphere, several well kept cask ales, friendly locals and staff and, as an unexpected bonus, an excellent curry made on the premises. I would certainly return when visiting Edgbaston

Great pub with fantastic food. Staff are amazing and really know how to treat customers. Even though it’s a way from where we live it’s definitely worth the taxi ride.

Fabulous pub. Great food. Really know how to treat customers.

Love this place; proper welcome, traditional interior great beer (Bathams) and brilliant cooked to order Indian food. A rare find. Been a few times - it never disappoints.

What a brilliant pub. Well kept range of ales, friendly welcome from staff and locals alike plus superb Indian food, very keenly priced. Just a great place.

Excellent Gem in Moseley Food and drink is the highest standard at a competitive price.

Lots of Black Country ales on offer.

Lovely beer, gorgeous pub, awesome curry, lovely staff

Fantastic night with old friends at a wonderful traditional pub. Excellent selection of well kept beer, a very warm welcome and excellent atmosphere. Food was delicious as well. All in all the perfect night. Thank you for a brilliant time.

... only my fourth visit with friends - nice beer - nice food - lovely, lovely people - I live in Smethwick, but this feels like my new local - love it!

Just had some food and it's banging and the live music is good

Great pub with a good selection of beer and cosy atmosphere. Had a few curries here with mixed results to be honest, some excellent but some very average and lacking flavour

good selection of beers and ales, food wasn’t great but good atmosphere and nice traditional pub

Again, what can I say that I haven't already said about this pub. I went to the OMA last night with family at early doors and ordered starters and main courses, they were all delicious and well presented and all washed down with a few pints. The staff were great and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you again staff great job and am looking forward to going back again later in the year!

Homely, friendly pub with excellent beer (including the only draught Bathams Best outside the Black Country) and serving very good curry

A proper boozer. Tucked away to most. Sadly got there too early for food but beer was brilliant in terms of quality and choice. Sukhi top bloke too!

Stopped off here as the halfway point to a destination in kings heath. Had a couple of pints. Exceptionally well kept beer. I had Butty Bach and it was as good as I have ever had. Staff were fantastic and chatty. Found out about the food and stopped off on the way back again for a curry and a pint. The food was exceptional and not expensive. Top notch. Next time I am in Brum, I will make a detour as it has a very friendly vibe. Ade and Matt

The food is well below average for a desi pub. The only thing worse than the food is how paying customers are treated. Do learn how to speak to your costumers with respect and humility. Shame on you.

Our go-to pub even though we live miles away. Great selection of beers, fabulous food and excellent staff. What's not to like?

A traditional inner-city pub kept just how they should, but with a modern twist - excellent Indian food :-p - highly recommended!

Can't believe I have only just got around to visiting this place, x4 really great ales (Enville, Bathams, Goats Milk & HPA), lovely curry served quickly and friendly staff/customers in a nice relaxing atmosphere. Cracking, will return soon.

Lovely secluded boozer, good selection of real ales & lagers. Fantastic range of curries which are reasonably priced. Attentive friendly staff, good atmosphere. Did i mention the great food. Well worth a visit !!

This was absolutely spot on for a family night out and I introduced my family to the fine arts of a proper pub with banging curry cuisine that is second to none. I shall be going back in the summer next year for another visit and excellent food.

Wonderful desi pub in the middle of Balsall Heath. Stopped in before a gig at the Castle and Falcon for a proper pint. They had an open fire which was a happy sight in deep winter, some delightful South Asian food, and the Ale selection was top notch. Big pub. Worth a visit inf your ever in the area. I'd go again without hesitation. 👍🏻

Bathams beer is just fantastic in a great traditional atmosphere

Defo a great night out, didn't eat there this time Suki and Staff great service though do miss you Lindsay

A fantastic festive family get together! Amazing beer and curry. Thanks to Sukhi and his amazing team. We all had an amazing afternoon!

Well-kept real ales, extensive menu of Indian food and beautiful traditional pub interior make it a brilliant asset to the area.

One of Birmingham’s best kept secrets. Hidden away in Balsall Heath, treasure can be found…

Awesome pub with some good ales and a cozy fire. I had a Butty Bach and a curry. The curry, I’m sure was good, but I ordered a style I’d never tried and it wasn’t my favourite, but I’m sure that’s just my taste buds! I think there was some kind of music event upstairs but I didn’t get a chance to check.

Great place staff friendly clean place

Great old school pub with decent beer an excellent curry.

Great curry pub. A lovely ye olde pub. Even has a pub cat

Great food and great choice for vegetarians too, as well as some great beers

Great food, curries are great and reasonably priced.

Great pub serving really good authentic Indian food 👌

My food was OK, my partner enjoyed her meal however and service was good

Lovely place to go for a meal. Dogs allowed in the covered outside area. Fast service... tasty food... all served with a smile ☺

Been using this place on and off for many years now since the 80s and it never fails to be enjoyable. Foods good and a good range of drinks.

Top pub, great atmosphere and staff, nice curry too.

Popped in for a beer after the cricket. Great selection of beers and friendly vibe from the bar staff and patrons. Didn't get to try the curry but sure I'll be back to give it a try.

Bathams is great. Curry is little more than before but good food

Excellent ale from a landlord who clearly knows how to keep a good cellar. What a hidden gem 😍

Best pub in Brum, outstanding cask and food

Great little pub. Good beers & the food smelt lovely

Loved spending family time here and the food is amazing my step Dad and sister ate in and I had a takeaway lamb balti and pilau rice and chapati it was lush ... it was just lovely to spend this important time with Step Dad brother and sister... my Step Dad really needed this and had not been to this pub in a long time.... if would definitely recommend this pub for the food drinks and welcoming service and all their food was smelling good and toilets clean and tidy and toilet roll topped up too no issues at all ... will defo return there soon.

One of my all time favourite pubs. Fantastic curry and top ale.

Very friendly pub with range of cask ales served well. Curry dinner was a great combination, coriander naan bread a stand out with my lamb. Best welcome for the dog who reminded the landlord of a former pet, large pictures on the wall in memory. Will be back!

Lovely staff and most certainly very welcoming. Traditional pub serving authentic English curries and Tandoor dishes.

Desi pub with great beer and Indian Food.

Great food and drink. Very relaxed inside with friendly staff and customers. Hadn't been here in years so was great to go back. They have a wide range of beers and spirits and the food was fantastic (Indian menu). Look forward to going back soon.

Food fabulous. I had the chicken buhna with mushroom pilau rice - absolutely delicious. Took a while to arrive but no problem really as with gd company.

Proper pub, nice people, good beer thats it

Can’t say whether this is any good: the kitchen staff didn’t know whether the veggie options were vegan, so had to go elsewhere.

Lovely atmosphere and decent food

The best pub in Birmingham by far. Good selection of ale. Amazing food (curry) Friendly staff.

Very cosy and friendly atmosphere. Excellent service and cuisine!

Great pub with delicious food, fireplaces and friendly service. The chicken balti was very flavourful and tomatoey, with garlic and onion. The chicken biryani was also really good with lots of curry sauce provided. Overall the food is great, it just maybe isn’t as rich or filling as others being maybe on the healthier side. The pub is cozy with lots of areas for seating but each area is small. It’s good for groups, and wasn’t too busy or long to wait for food. My only caveat was the portions were a bit small, and the food could have been a bit more flavourful.

Thank you so much for a lovely Afternoon brilliant pub and fantastic curry xx

Delicious made to order food and service that is second to none. Best pub in Moseley bar none. :).

What a great pub - brilliant staff, superb music and the best curry in town! If only we could move it nearer to our house we would be obese and alcoholic within a month!

Lovely old, unspoiled pub with lovely staff - had one of the best curries I’ve had in a long time and great price!

This is a traditional pub with friendly staff and and a nice atmosphere. Now for the bad stuff. I paid more than £5 for a pint of bathams which cost me £3 30 at the home of bathams (the Vine). The temperature wasn't ideal either. Unfortunately I also ordered a chicken tikka masala. This consisted of about 6 pieces of chicken in what can only be described as Heinz cream of tomato soup with extra puree.Ugh! The version I often buy from Aldi is vastly superior and considerably cheaper. My friend had a vegetarian option which looked very unappetizing and since he left most of it it obviously didn't taste of much either. Never again.

Great pub open fire Great food great staff nice selection of spirits. Well worth the taxi fare

Lovely food in a lovely traditional pub

A great old fashioned pub with an excellent selection of whisky and Batham's on tap. Very cozy inside and gets busy. Not dog-friendly though unfortunately!

Returned for 1st time since Dec19. Pub still as good as ever, fine selection of ales and giant TV for footy a bonus. A proper old school boozer with friendly staff & customers. Will be returning soon.

Always loved this pub, unspoilt hidden gem. Used to go here many moons ago. I would have given it five stars but the drinks are quite pricey, 2 drinks for £10.00 is a bit of a shocker and a price I just can't afford unfortunately. Other than that it's a lovely pub with really friendly staff.

Superb food. Freshly cooked achaari to my specifications. Friendly service

Great currys and decent Guinness. Plenty of space outside in the sun and covered. Back again for more Guinness in the cosy snug bar to the right of the main entrance. Fires in the front rooms in winter to keep you warm and toastie

Only my second experience of a desi pub in Brum, the other being Hen & Chickens (shared a mixed grill, it was fantastic). Five of us shared food, including poppadoms, mixed grill, four types of curry, and naans. Food was pretty good and would go again. Nice staff too, with a cracking real fire in the main bar. Give it a try.

Visited on a Sunday evening en route to a gig. A lovely unspoiled pub with many original features in a multi room layout. Ordered a selection of starters which were very good and generous in size accompanied by dips. Washed down with an immaculately kept pint of goat’s milk. Also tried the Batham’s which was also excellent. Will definitely visit again.

Friendly staff, great ale and food in a traditional back street boozer.

Perfectly kept beer, a super curry and a welcoming, friendly landlord

A hidden treasure outstanding meal wonderful friendly staff

The chef must have been having a bad day. I'd heard great things about this place. I'd read the reviews, so was looking forward to a lovely meal. What I got, was possibly the worst meal I've had this year. Lamb byriani was watery and cold. On a positive, at least the lamb was cooked. The mixed grill was mediocre. The pub itself is nice. Staff friendly. Lots of space for seating, either outside or in. The man who served us was a bit weird but harmless. Will never be back.

Good range of beers and good grill menu

Lovely friendly local with great Indian food.

Lovely evening with music too. Staff very friendly an helpful

Friendly pub with good size beer garden. The curry offered in the evening was top notch!

Great beer and excellent curry enjoyed before the t20 cricket in a nice garden.Friendly staff as well

Traditional local pub specialising in curry. Cosy interior and good sized courtyard garden. Tasty food with friendly service.

A real favourite with my family. Excellent Indian food, great real ale selection (including Enville and Bathams), friendly staff, nice outdoor area and dog friendly. Ticks all the boxes for us and remains my favourite Birmingham pub.

Perfect example of what Birmingham has to offer and why the Commonwealth Games where a meteoric success , this establishmentis really is the best pub iv visited from Glasgow, Australia Germany, London to the USA and beyond. Moving to a new city always makes me trepidatious but fears where instantly alleviated by the extremely friendly team here at the old moseley arms , from day one I was made to feel at home and very much part of the family . I can't express my thanks to all staff here for making a nomadic worker feel at home . Prices for both food and drink are fantastic and they should really increase even just for the atmosphere

Fabulous ambience, great beer, amazing food, always a warm welcome.

A lovely pub, highly recommended by local Camra but not entering into the spirit of the Commonwealth charging £5 a pint for Bathams best when down the road a good similar pint is £4 Would not return.

Really thoughtful staff, constantly ensured our visit was a pleasant one. Nicely priced and great vibes!

Have just come back from a couple of nights stay here with my friend the staff were great helpful and friendly Shirley the bar lady was lovely very chatty and we had a great laugh with her would highly recommend for a stay will definitely revisit thank you all 😊

Great old pub much renovated and extended recently and very much changed from the OMA I remember from my 90s student days. Now with Indian food on the premises. The food is good but considerably more expensive (and comes in smaller portions) than pretty much all its peers in the B13 area. The premium paid for the undeniably swanky surroundings seems a bit high. Sadly the beergarden isn't dog-friendly.

Excellent beer and good food, what more could you want

Great well kept beers. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Not eaten there but food looks good.

Great pub and an oasis within striking distance from. Edgbaston cricket ground. Superb selection of ales, food looked great and good outdoor spaces
