The Ivy Bush in Sandwell

Fab local great Indian food, super staff and a friendly owner

I have had the goat curry and I can say it's got no taste to it all n9 flavour

Rachel made my experience really nice. She is cool people. Food was bang on. Think I found a little gem.

Can't say enough good things about this place I love it ,the staff brilliant the owner laki is great and as for the food here it's superb ,this is the place to take family for a night out excellent service enjoy guys .

Next up we visited the Ivy bush. The menu on the website looked really good, especially the ‘mega platter’ mixed grill. Again this is another old pub that’s been renovated. They’ve done the inside really well. On entry you see the huge bar with all the top tier lagers on it. Staropramen too which is a bonus! We were told sit where we wanted so pushed a couple of tables together and got into the menu. We went for a large boneless grill, the mega platter, chicken lollipop, garlic prawns, battered chips, chilli chips and a selection of naans. Firstly the mixy, unusual to have calamari on a mixy but it worked, good to get that extra seafood in. The mega platter was served on a mixy hotplate and standard plate as it was so big. Tikka, lamb, lollipop , pakora and shish all sensational. Not just your 1-2 pieces here loads of everything. All the right charing, juicy meat and crispy light batter. Garlic prawns - on the pricey side but worth it, again a big portion. Lollipop - everything you could want from a lollipop, loads of meat, plenty of marinade and a kick with the chilli. Chips - one thing to note the crispy chilli chips (battered chips) are not in the menu where the chips are. They are in veg starters so can be missed! Don’t they are sensational! Other chilli chips good, masala chips - ok, everyone was on the crispy chips. Naan - keema naan was the best, loads of meat in it. The others - garlic and chilli, nice thick naan breads. A couple of extra mentions, we flew through the sauce so the owner gave us the industrial size bottle which was great! Also we were asked at least twice how was the food, can we get anything else. Nice couple of touches to differentiate. Overall 9/10 for the Ivy bush. Will definitely be returning here. One of the best mixys and sides. Up there with red cow and champys. Get yourself down here, get a staropramen in and enjoy a mixy!

Only got 2 prawns, 2 lamb chops, kebabs where dry.

awesome food and service.. loved it

Great curry and mix grill with great portion size! Highly recommended for those in the local area.

Food is not good its cold i think they dont make it fresh i am dissapointed

using high amount of food colour in gravies , which was too sweet ,

Lovely food,clean,sky TV what more you want

Food 5 star as usual.. good to see old faces. Till the next time 👍

Absolutely beautiful fresh food. 1st time we have tried and would definitely recommend to try it. Butter chicken was exceptional! Will certainly be ordering again!

Great food! Portions seemed smaller, sizzling grill fish pakora for 3/4 people and only 3 chunks and 2 prawns

Good food, good service, helpful staff

Didant have food but overall quality place

Lovely clean looking place and the bar lady is brilliant 👏 sp friendly and helpful. Unfortunately I felt the food wasn't great. The kebabs looked bought in from a supermarket standard. Food was expensive for what it was. Chips had hardly any masala on them and were more fries than chips. Poppadoms were the best we've had anywhere. The momos weren't tasty enough.

great food and service first time ordering. highly recommend

Never had food here so I can't rate it but the drink good young asain lads was nice polite man welcoming nice lad . 👍

Food was excellent and the staff were really friendly would definitely recommend

Just had some food delivered from this place, really tasty.

Excellent experience food was unbelievable havnt had food this good for ages 10/10!!! And the staff where brilliant very friendly carnt wait to go again thank you 👍👍👍👌🍻

Tasty food, had a takeaway a few times now.

I was short a lamb chop. Either driver ste it or I never got it. Was quite disappointed

I have worked here about 10 days and haven't been paid till almost 2 months he blocked me in Whatsapp aswell as he is not responding now. Please don't do this to other 🙏

Food was delicious,still hot when delivered. Exactly what we ordered Food out of this world

Food was too spicy, chips where not fresh and reheated.

It is a really nice pub clean and pet friendly

Came with my mum and never felt so welcome was a spontaneous visit. The food was delicious, the drinks are very well priced and the music is good. Will definitely visit again. All of the staff were really friendly what a lovely vibe

Honestly…. Service here is impeccable! Monica, Kim & Anshell were absolutely amazing!! 👏👏👏

Chicken bhuna seemed to be a bit gritty

Came to the Ivy Bush with some people from work. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food was beautiful, the chicken jelfrazi was to die for, the chicken just fell apart 😍. The food was reasonably price, cost around £12 for the curry, nann and chips. You can also take the food home if you’ve not finished it. They had a good range of music too, would definitely recommend this pub

Good atmosphere, good food, good pints and a massive selection of spirits!

Great experience, atmosphere. Manager and staff so friendly Fantastic food and drinks. Will be visiting again.

Went in for bank holiday drink, the peroni on draught was crisp, Kim behind the bar was very friendly. Overall clean friendly pub where you can bring your family. Value for money is great

Great pub, nice cold beer and food is bang on The pub has been newly refurbished. Service is great 💯

Great place to visit. Staff are lovely and professional. I'd go again.

Friendly place food nice and kitchen is clean you can actually see in the kitchen from where you order food 😋

Nice food will order again thanks

The food and service at the ivy bush is exceptional

Awesome food compliments to the chef. Great selection of beers and spirits. Ideal venue for large parties, in excess of 10 people as I recently held a birthday celebration here which was well accommodated for.

Nice place and decor, the pub's well maintained And has Modern style. The food is decent but expensive , overall a good place to eat And drink but it's expensive when compared to other pubs in the same area

First time visit, big sports bar typz room, the chicken dopiaza & madras, pillau rice all ace...its an 8.75 outa 10 from me

Beautifully refurbished. Beer a bit costly but so are builders.

Second time I have ordered from here. Food is amazing , came early , was hot and tasted fantastic. Highly recommend

Food arrived piping hot, great portion size and taste was beautiful. Complimentary popadoms ( as most places send) would have been the icing on the cake. Will definitely order again was delicious

First time ordering was well impressed with the lamb jafrazi and Kebabs will order again soon.

Some of the desi bar and grills have been disappointing as of late. Especially my favourite ones. However this was a new place I've been wanting to try. It did not disappoint. Food was good. Atmosphere was great. Staff were very friendly.

Great food and service. Staff very friendly and look after you. Good atmosphere too, perfect for a family occasion. Free parking available.

Excellent Quality and food was still piping hot when arrived. All order was satisfactory. Will definitely be ordering from here again

The Ivy Bush is not particularly impressive from outside and I have driven past it numerous times. We tried the Ivy Bush and we will definitely be back, the bar is well stocked, the food is delicious and the Juke box played some 80's classics. I had mushroom pilau rice, chicken and mushroom balti and a plain naan. Each item had me going mmm, it really is top notch grub meaning the Ivy Bush is now one of my top 3 Desi pubs.

Love it in this place! Wonderful bar staff! Warm, welcoming atmosphere!

Very very good food cooked to perfection with good quality meats.

Last month I been there with my brother love this place staff very nice food and drinks always getting on time 👍

Same again absolutely beautiful and gorgeous food. I asked for an item to be changed to my specifications (not spicy hot) and it was so nice I could r leave it . My husband and daughter ate aswell and there food was the same . The lamb just melts in your mouth. Please come and dine in and try there food you will not walk away dissatisfied. All staff are welcoming,polite and very nice people .

This place was really nice. It was my first time visiting and I must say I was impressed. The staff are really friendly and professional and you were directed to where you need to be without standing around wondering what's going on. It was a little noisy but that is usually expected. The food was good and you had a variety of choices on the menu 😋. I will definitely be telling friends and family so they can visit.

Cracking place. Clean and tidy. Great food and great family and staff.

Beautiful food, its very good and very clean.

very good value for money portions were of a good size dish prices we're very reasonable and more importantly the food tasted great price of a pint was around £3.00 to £3.50 which is also not bad don't be put off by the look of the outside and it's position in Smethwick on a corner of a junction its like travelling to another dimension once you walk through the door and well worth a visit

Great experience, Friendly team of staff,great service food was amazing , nice family atmosphere, would definately recommend this place

We just had a delivery from Ivy bush and the food is spot on, I would recommend them 👌

A warm and friendly pub. Great food, atmosphere and customer service. Food was absolutely amazing, haven’t had a mixed grill like this before but it was completely different to any I’ve tasted before. Well worth a try and I’d definitely be going again! I’d recommend it to friends and family!

Had a great meal last night in the Ivy Bush. Nice friendly pub.

Well decorated, bright and airy. Owner, very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent with large portions, would highly recommend and will definitely be going again. It’s well worth a visit.

We travelled all the way from Gloucester and met up with some old friends. We had a very warm welcome from the lovely owner Lackie and his team. We felt looked after and cared for. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try another dish. Really great choices. A lovely ending to my Birthday Weekend.

Great pub staff very friendly and food is Amazing

Great food and clean and friendly place. Love the new revamp. Good for watching sports, going out for a meal, or playing darts or pool/snooker/table football.
