The Barrel Bar And Grill in Birmingham

Ordered the small mixed grill and masala chips. Both were absolutely fantastic. Drinks were reasonably priced and just overall fantastic experience. Have recommended to other people since who happened to be going nearby and they also said it was a great time getting food from here.

The food is amazing Pictured is a small mixed grill with side salad and masala chips

Definitely mix grills are the best here by far

Nice bbq grill. When available.

If you're looking for a old school mix grill that's cooked on charcoal... this is the place to be! Personally for me it's the best around and also value for money... You will not be disappointed.

lovely pub, with great curry and drinks

Love this place .. home cooked indian food over charcoal, the curries are basic but tasty and cooked by Uncle the same way as he cooks for his family upstairs , the food is very cheap compared to other desi pubs with a large mixed grill for £11 , nanns at £1.50 and curries below £7 , a pint is around £3 . 2 of u can eat and have a couple of drinks for under £30 , well worth a visit .. Still good but now seems a bit short staffed

Absolute amazing place, fantastic food, low prices and nice staff. Definitely worth the visit.

Great food at a great price, definitely going to come back.

I really like this pub. The owner used to cook the food at The Farcroft in Handsworth before it closed down. Great food,nice pint and a good atmosphere.

Nice bbq mixed grill highly recommend different from the other places

Wow! Great service, really friendly. The large mixed grill is enough for two, Naan bread was stunning. Chicken Tikka as part of the small and large grill was amazing. Brilliant value.

You can really tell the difference when a mixed grill is cooked on charcoal. Absolutely amazing food 🏆

Great value Naans are the best around

Great food great prices not alot more you need to know

probably the best mixed grill i’ve had for a while. Proper BBQ cooked meat,proper grill food. the naan was amazing proper soft and tasty. The lamb was proper desi home style. the home made sauces were in point, different to you usual masala covered grills.

Brilliant place. Delicious food

Hidden Gem Grill always fresh hot and seasoned just right!! I would recommend calling before to check what’s on the menu as with fresh food things do run out. Good atmosphere for a family outing too

Traditional mixed grill from the 80s Everything made with charcoal, Limited menu and everything is fresh Definitely worth the wait for the food Best chutney ever

Great place to watch football and have a good mixed grill!

Seemed to have stopped serving food, which is a shame

Great place for meeting friends and work colleagues for some good food and drinks and watch major sports, football and cricket etc. Friendly staff some following covid procedures. Food is freshly prepared and served. Good slection of limited beers and great slection of sprits. Takeout is collection only

Food was tasty - from charcoal grill. Crispy Chicken. Nice lamb Sikh kebabs. Guinness on draft was nice. Chilli Nan was really spicy

Excellent Sports bar with good food.

Drinks with flat coke from a plastic bottle. Weak customer service--as if they were doing us a favour--as if they were giving out drinks for free--as if they're not a business made to serve customers--disgraceful. Burnt food, tiny wings, lamb chops were tiny and unseasoned. Currys were just awful--tasted like it was straight from frozen. I did like the nan bread but not redemptive.

Beautiful, cozy place with delicious drinks and food, atmosphere, I liked everything very mush!

What more can you ask for, good food at a great price reasonable priced drinks clean venue all sports are also shown so overall it’s a good pub and does a grill very well

Excellent food great value for money

good indian food here friendly people and a good choice of beer

Excellent mix grill!! Straight off the charcoal, wonderful flavour!!

Great charcoal indian food,good price and fish cod is brilliant.

Fantastic place we only have the starters wings and tikka cooked to perfection naans and chips also great brilliant price also what else can I say 👌

Great local pub with cheap price. Staff was helpful,too.

Had a good time and some nice food at a great price 👍 much recommended. Took about 10-20 minutes for food to come and was worth the wait

Excellent pub serving the best Indian mixed grill of all pubs in Birmingham, their complimentary side salad of onions and chutneys are the perfect accompniant

If you want rotten spiced chicken and curry’s that are mostly grease then this is the place for you!! And sticky tables with rude service 👍👍

Excellent food friendly staff also great value

Always enjoyed the experience and the foods always top quality.

Fantastic place to eat short menu straight to the point, Fabulous door loved it

Great food totally would buy again but they don't give as much for the price

Food was excellent can't fault it had a great night thanks Simon

The food here is to die for, very courteous bar staff, takeaway available over the phone also. Highly recommended

Good food, friendly staff, reasonable prices

Went there before and on Wednesday 2nd September food wasn't great order mix grill was cold not sizzling as u expect

Wasnt very welcoming. Food ok. But wasnt offered any side orders Ordered lime & lemonade. Lemonade from a bottle which was warm & flat.

While the whole country was on 50% off food this place wasent thats -1 star. Waited 45mins for food when place was kinda empty. Curry was awfully small when you could go anywhere else for the same price and get a healthy curry. Nan bread was very thin, if i wanted a thin bread ill ask for a roti maybe? Rude women (owner?) i dont know but attitude stank. Overall rating wont be back here again and wouldent ever recommend. If you want to dine well and pay the same price the new soho tavern is a must!

Nice & Quiet, The food was excellent

Visited here as we did not want to go to a over busy/crowded restaurant who was participating in the 50% eat out deal. Literally one person in the pub and he was watching sports - with no drink. Ordered x2 Cobra. Pint of cobra was off - flat and watery. Asked to change it but bar member poured another 2 cobra’s - taking off a few millimetres off the top for the amount we had consumed - how pathetic! Advised the pints still off for which he replied “proper people have been drinking them”. I did point out that are we not “proper people”. Anyway, he appeared restless so I suggested he just swap the drinks for bottled beer. Note the botttles were cheaper than the 2 pints ordered, he should have suggested a refund in some money but kept quiet. Not about the money but shows what kind of mentantilty these people have. Food - was planning to order a large mix grill however suggested if we could swap the sheesh kebab with a lamb chop. After the bar staff member discussed with kitchen was told “no, lamb chops are too expensive” and then just walked off with no interest if we still wanted to order food - idiot! Anyway to conclude. Went to have a good few drinks and a meal. Left with the 2 of us having 1 drink each and no food. Will not be visiting again. Appalling! I visit a good few “desi pubs” in Birmingham and I put this up there as the worst!

Good grill , good beer , clean and decent staff

Monday evening evening so fairly quiet. I had the large mixed grill and it was huge - too much for me and very tasty. The Guinness was good too. Several screens showing Sky Sports but the volume was not too loud.

When you're bored with daily menus of local restaurant, this is where you want to explore your taste and smell senses. Definitely a place worth to visit.

Good traditional venue with great food

We had a great meal here, the food is really great and very reasonably priced, really well cooked. Friendly staff, good service and the whole place is really clean. Highly recommended!

Great night but limited vegetarian menu

One of the best meals for value I've ever had. Great chips, great curry. Pints a decent price as wel.

Good atmosphere, nice pint. The chicken tikka is gorgeous

It very beautiful and a very romantic place

Reasonable food and reasonable price.

banging pub.. with great mixed grills and good Guinness

Yeah food not bad at all. Price reasonable as well.

The food is great! Got some meat, the portion was so generous that we couldn't finish and took the rest home. It was tasty even the next day. Interior and drink selection could be more exciting but overall I would definitely recommend the place.

Amazing food & really friendly atmosphere. Such a great meal total recommend this place. You will not be disappointed. It is amazing value too.

Best mixed grill with most reasonable price

Not much choice on the menu but what's on there is very nice.

I had the chicken curry,it was far too hot ,i couldn't finish it.The lamb curry was very salty.The food has certainly gone down hill since they changed the chef and menu .I have never had a bad meal before but this time it was not up to usual standards.

Food is always freshly grilled and comes pretty quick!

Best prices .best BBQ .best quality. Best service .best ambience close to the city .great team .thanks

Food was really good got t £6.50p small mixed grill trust me feed 2 could not finish it was really tasty . The stella was £3.10 a pint southern comfert was ,,£3.30 a double and vodka / whiskey £3.00 a double staff friendly even let you take away any food you cannot finish

Drinks at a very good price. More importantly service excellent. Very nice atmosphere

If u like burnt, rubbery food, this is the place to be. Very little flavour and loads of masala in all the food. Saying that my friends love it

Indian barbecue food is great. Large TV screens.

Had cheeky gin and Slim tonic, and small grill. Sauces really nice, shish kebab is amazing, really tasty! Fresh nan. Food came quite quicky with some salad on side. Definitely will comeback again to try more dishes!

Great Indian food at very good prices.

Value for money ....compared to the expensive Hen and chickens down the road !!! Great food and decent seating with many screens to watch football

Nice grill and food. Limited on drink choice but a nice friendly atmosphere.

Great food and value for money. Also good cariety of veg food introducing quorn fusion and yes the paneer is amazing. Check it out!

Not bad at all. Nice Indian food served, and reasonably priced too. Great for watching sport.

Lovely food, good prices, friendly staff, bar area, open area seating with view of big screen TVs. Popular with the locals

Excellent food and really good prices. Very friendly family atmosphere. Very good value for money.

Went here after coming across it on TripAdvisor. Reasonably priced Pub drinks and also a reasonably priced food menu. Ordered and paid for food of starters and mains. Mains arrived after what seemed like a while (place was not busy) and a couple of mins later a naan. We told the waiter that we’d also ordered starters. Rather than wait for mains and naan to go cold we started eating only to find the naan was cold. As no staff around we started eating. When starters came we told waiter about the cold naan and asked for another one as this one was cold. A nice hot one came after we’d had the starters. By this time our mains had cooled down. Went to the bar to get another round of drinks and were asked to pay for the second naan which we did. At this point the venue could have redeemed itself with and an apology and not asking for payment for naan 2. If you come here, I suggest ordering (and paying upfront for) your starters and after you’ve had those the order (and pay for) your mains. I appreciate that this is not a Michelin starred restaurant but there are many of these ‘Curry Pubs’ now - a few, walking distance from here - where you will find much better service.

I love this family run pub . The food is totally unique. The £ 10 mixed grill is not only lovely , freshly cooked but the portion is massive too. the garlic and corriander nann is cooked to perfection. ive also tried other dishes with no complaints. the place is a diamond cheap bar prices with cheap quality food.

Great food..best prices..eat here about 4 times a week..sky sports..sound

Simply a fantastic place your made very welcome by the super staff had the food is simply the best

Great food !! On a real coal grill

Great meal, very nice flavours, great value for your money. The neighbourhood almost made us turn around.( glad we didn't)

Just can't complain best place to eat proper barbecue food

Great Indian soul food with good selection of beers & ciders

It seems there are a number of these kind of establishments popping up all over the place and the Barrel Bar and Grill fits right in. They have recently had a makeover and as is the norm, good size portions at a reasonable price, good choice of drinks, large screen TV's and a real buzz about the place when it's busy. We tried the large mixed grill which is enough for two to share and sides of chilli paneer, pork chops and a freshly made naan bread. All food was piping hot and very tasty. The premises were very clean and there was a good mix to the clientele. I'm sure we'll head back there again in the future.

One of the best mix grills in birmingham and great beer. Wot more do you need?

Cozy, good for watching a match, the food is exceptional!

Nice for a quite drink and great bar&grill. Not far from city centre

Took the boys out for some food, there was 12 lads the food was great thanks to Vicky and the team Amrik

My husband realy enjoyed his mixed grill. I had the keema curry with a plain naan and plain rice it was ok but I would normaly have a mild one and this was a medium Curry but still enjoy it.

Food is not all that trust me I would not go there again service is slow We ordered mix grill most of it was burnt 😖don't order & the paneer was horrible People if u want better food go some were els trust me 😀 1st time been there

Bar staff pleasant , clean toilets , pleasant food , salad was a bit of an after thought , shame was quiet on a Saturday , but I will reccomend and certainly re visit

Poor attitude of staff, messed up order and food was burnt

Lovely friendly local atmosphere, didn't have time to try the food but it looked amazing as it went passed! Great pub for football fans.

Tandoori grills are tasty although bulked out with chicken wings. Curries in my experience are not so good.

I have been going to the Barrel for the last couple of years and try and eat there at least once a month, the people who run it are great and always welcome us and cook the most delicious food. as long as the barrel...

Great mixed grill and curry big tables and plenty of room to watch chisora fight can see why its popular with the locals
