The New Talbot Quinton in Birmingham

I have been visiting this place from ages but don't know whats the difference now ... the food 's taste becoming worst day by day and u can check the quantity 😂😂 in 8 pounds totally shit experience

A great place, friendly, good service and nice food.

Went in a bit skeptical but pleasantly surprised and converted to fanatic. The service was incredible and everybody was very lovely and personable. The grill was really good, lamb chops were top shelf flavour but the biggest star of the show for us was the dhal makhani. Looking forward to another visit when in town.

Food is amazing would recommend and table service is almost instant for drinks .

Service appalling was told 20 minutes delivery ended up hour and a half not impressed at all will never use again !!! Time before that 45 minutes wait on collection when I arrived hadn't even been started

Impossible to reach over the phone Waited well over an hour for delivery service Will not be getting delivery again.

Went here for a family celebration and although the food was good, the service and attention was really poor. Tables were dirty and we had to fetch our own cutlery despite paying 5% extra on our bill for table service. Seems to have taken a dip since my last visit which is a real shame

Good Indian restaurant with a selection of reasonably priced indian tapas and mains to enjoy. A special mention to the chef for the quality of his cooking, We have visited multiple times and haven't been disappointed ever. Good ambience, great service, variety of beers as well, 5 stars all the way.

Had the large mixed grill. 1 prawn perfect, 1 mush. 2 fish pakora perfect, 2 mush. 1 masala chop perfect 1 not pleasant at all. Chicken good though 👏

Great place, great atmosphere and food was peng! Big up to kiesha with the cocktails and raag for the excellent customer service 👌🏽

A regular diner at this place. I travel from Solihull and always find the experience very good. Great taste, prices and varieties. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Please don't tell anyone how wonderful this place is cos I don't want all you buggers clogging it up or anything! Best place on the Hagley Rd / Wolvo Rd Junction. Love the staff too, totally brill

Tasty food and really friendly staff. Screens all over showing sport. Just a great place and immaculately clean!

Came here with a large group of people, was great as they have counters you can order individually and pay first, so there’s no bill sorting at the end after you’ve eaten. Menu had plenty to choose from, the usual classics. The cocktails available were delicious. Really good value for money, and plenty of parking around the back, even if it is a little tight. Plenty of screens to match sports, and plenty of big tables to cater to larger groups.

We went there last night and so disappointed with this place now. We’ve been there since it opened but every time we come back it gets worse. Staff never present, always have to go up and get them and when you do they are just hanging out, messing around and chatting. Never come to see how we are getting on or even present on the restaurant floor. The manager who was also making the awful cocktails was constantly sitting in the bar area chatting with mates. The cocktails was the most awful cocktails I’ve ever tasted and lacked the actual alcohol, the draft beer was watery. Either get a real cocktail bar tender as this isn’t the first time it’s happened or just stick to bottled beers. The food was such a disappointment. Why would we go out and spend our money on overly priced bland, tasteless food when can cook at home for cheaper and more tastier? This place is going down hill fast, unless new management is brought in or someone is brought in who actually cares, we will never be coming back. So disappointed!

Went there for my nephew's birthday ( 14 people) Food wasn't bad, although the starters tasted better than mains. The biggest letdown was the SERVICE! very bad .Standing and chatting with each other and ignoring the customers. Took them 30min to bring the drinks over. Our table was full of empty glasses and plates ( starters/ mains/ extras) till it was time to bring the bhday cake over ( we needed to ask them to do so)?! Terrible service- won't be coming back

Good food, service very slow. Alright price but very tight on alcohol in drinks.staff was polite but again need to get more service people to clean and serve.

Fantastic food! ROGAN JOSH IS DELICIOUS! Hats off to the chef! Thank you***

This is a terrible restaurant. Unsure how they can have a 5 star hygiene rating. They are not able to deal with allergies as they can't stop/limit Cross contamination. They gave an allergy list but then told that all food is fried in same oil. Meat and fish cooked on same grill. So if you have a gluten allergy you can't have additional products to the ones listed as being safe as all battered products are cooked in the same oil as the gluten free items. This includes fish items also. Means this is not a safe restaurant for people with allergies. Stay clear and keep your self safe. As if they can't stop cross contamination like this how are they going to stop other cross contamination (raw and cooked) this is a food poisoning accident waiting to happen. We had a party with gluten allergy. Fish allergy. Allergy book makes you feel like you can have a good choice of food options. They get serious limited further due to how they cook these items. This is very poor. I have managed hotels/kitchens for years and you the allergy folder is not worth the paper it is written on.

Waited over 1 hour for 2 starters on a Sunday Evening. How is this possible. Short staffed apparently. And the food wasn't great either. Never again

I ordered chicken curry feels like they put boiled chicken chunks in gravy very bad taste please Donot try and Donot waste your money …. I been there with my kids took one hour 15 minute waiting time … after all I said to manger please pack my stuff I cannot wait more with kids I Donot want sit down and eat there already took long time… please Donot go with kids ..,, food waiting time long even food taste not nice and one serving lady is really rude

The food is absolutely delicious 100% recommend. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely visit again.

l have been coming here ever since it opened on regular occasions. food has always been excellent. today l had the pleasure of entertaining few high profile people in the music industry. l was very disappointed. the food below the quality. service was rubbish. not expected my guests were not impressed.

Service and food fantastic. Top Notch. Would 100% recommend. First time here. Really good service and food. Mixed grill especially was very good, freshly cooked and piping hot. The currys we had for the table were authentic and tasted great. And the garlic naan? Best I've had for years. Will be visiting again without doubt.

Nice experience, food price and portion are reasonable, the service is top notch, waiters are courteous and nice, food taste really good. Take note: you pay a 5% service charge to have your order taken at the table but you can go order at the reception area if you don't want to pay, it's boldly written at the top of the menu so pay attention to it. Also extra tip: if you are a group the large or extra large mix grill is a good idea,you can ask the waiters for plates to share. They also show sports events which is a plus for sport lovers to hangout

Curry’s don’t taste very good, won’t be using this restaurant again, could do with a better chef.

Food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend.

Excellent!! Very tasty and filling. 2 for 1 cocktails Nice polite staff

Visited for the first time look of restaurant area was great. Food service was ok, curries were great,

Came here for a bday staff was welcoming and very easy to deal with looked after us very well

Amazing food service and atmosphere. Loved it. Staff could not have been more helpful with menu choices . Definately a revisit due

Hi Ajay. We went last night. Had lovely meal your food consists is same. That says authentic. So keep that. Because at other place we go. One time food taste woo, same dish next time different. May be bit work need on garnishing. Waitress Connie gave brilliant service, very pleasant and friendly. Made us feel special. (AA) star. Your onions with starter could be seasoned. As they taste bitter. Tell chef to use bit of salt,and lemon.or Eastern Mediterranean spice. Sucmu

Pink chicken not cooked right. Beef burger not cooked right neither everyones belly is mashed up now

Very disappointed after the good reports I have heard

This isn't bham curries stale horrible food one of the worst in the area

Food was lovely service let it down waited 50 Mins for food to arrive , would recommend the food but would not go back due to waiting so long for food to arrive

Food was excellent and not too expensive only moan was plates come out cold and they was slightly bigger than a side plate for our main course

Was hear last night celebrating my sisters 50th. We had the best time food was amazing service was brilliant.

Went yesterday for a birthday meal with 11 people. Food was ok, I had a chicken tikka bhuna and meat wasn’t the best. The starters were very overpriced, ive never been to a curry house where the sheesh kebab starter was nearly £8! Also, considering there were so many waiting staff about, the service was shocking. It took ages for the drinks to be brought over. We were there from 7.45pm and didn’t leave until 10.30pm. I brought a cake as a surprise to sing happy birthday to my friend and after asking for the bill no one brought it out so I ended up asking to take it home. Honestly wasn’t the best experience and would go elsewhere 😓

This restaurant is a gem! The mixed grill was absolutely amazing, bursting with flavor. They offer a wide selection of delicious curries that are sure to satisfy any craving. Plus, the interior design adds to the overall fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended for a memorable meal.

Food very good.waitress wonderful.Thanks

Superb food and very attentive staff at an excellent price

I went to here as I was told it's a good place, I would not go here again as the service was so poor I had to help myself back and forth to the bar as it was not busy. The server did not know if she was coming or going. Food was okay

service really slow like they couldn't be bothered to serve us .

We went for our works Do shout out to DMS food was fantastic staff were professional and friendly. High

Very good restaurant for family and friends

Just popped in for a coffee, out of the rain, whole I waited for a car breakdown van. Intend to visit again sometime for a meal

Had a lovely meal out on NYE Staff are very accommodating, service was great, food came out quickly & very fresh, and cocktails were good value for money at 2 for £10, I’d recommend the Indian sea breeze 👌🏼 can’t wait to come back again 🤩

OK so the theme is Indian Tapas n Grill....service 10/10 Food 12/10....yes seriously. Starters, mains all very good quality. Starter potion sizes exceptional.( I personally recommend the prawn starter, deli). Would most definitely recommend and visit again. Oh and there's parking at the rear. Excellent!

We went here after recommendation. First thoughts. Great. Service and Ambience a strong 8/10.starters were perfect. Rice and naan bread were perfect. The king prawn Balti we ordered was served up resembling blended baby food. The prawns were slightly grey still. Hence we sent that part of the meal back. The whole of the meal was refunded including drinks. Dissatisfied with the meal. Will not return. Shame because it's a nice venue 😢

Food was tasty and service was quick. I would recommend it if you have a taste for Indian cuisine/ curry. Do book a table, specially on weekends. Added photos for two of the veg starters for reference. Thanks 👍

Went with a big group (20+), a bit cramped, but ok. Good food and drink.

Extremely good food. Don't be put off by the exterior. It looks rough and you could easily miss it but do make the effort, it'll be worth it.

Haven't been here for ages but so glad we did party of 8 for a birthday food was suberb all of us had different dishes each one you couldn't fault, will definitely be back

Atmosphere is okay for a big group. I’m not sure I’d come back as a couple. Food was tasty , average.

Absolutely love this place, food brilliant, customer service is brilliant. 2 for 1 cocktails are amazing. Price is really good too. Can’t fault the place.

This is a great place for family meals. We hosted my daughter's birthday meal here later afternoon, and were given plenty room for decor set up, many menu customisation options plus catering for all dietary needs. AJ was really helpful throughout and very pleasant. The staff on the day were brilliant too, very attentive. Food- was amazing, probably one of the bestest mixed grills around West midlands. (And we have been to many Indian grills). Both the veg and non veg platters were well presented, hot on arrival, and every item had a lot of flavour. The mains were really nice too, butter chicken was amazing. We would definitely recommend.

Had the mix grill some curry’s, rice and Nan. All the food was excellent.

We had prior booked our table for 6pm on a Friday night. As we walked in we noticed only two other couples and the atmosphere was awkwardly so silent you’d be able to hear a pin drop if not for the chatter amounts the staff… At first instant in the door we stood for a a couple minutes waiting to be seated as a member of staff was too busy chatting away to kitchen staff about mindless small talk. To not be rude and interrupt we patiently stood and waited feeling extremely out of place. Once she came over to us she asked if we had a booking to which we gave our name but she stated there was no such name booked. She stated it may have been a mistake over the phone and continued to seat us. You do have to get up and go to the counter to order otherwise you pay a 5% service charge for table service…. Rather strange considering our table was right next to said counter and the staff do still have to walk over to the counter to take your order… unnecessary in my opinion considering there was 6 members of staff chatting away in in two groups most the time. Onto the food.. Absolutely disgraceful. For starters we shared the vegetable platter which for some reason was bulked up with salad. The samosas and spring rolls tasted like they were from a samosa shop not cooked fresh in-house. The naan bread was difficult to eat, tasted like the chef had clearly never tasted authentic naan before. Extremely stodgy and doughy, not cooked all the way through and most definitely not using an authentic tandoor. We got the butter paneer and were most disappointed. The portion size was rather small, we have been to many Indian restaurants including the pub variety where similar dishes of similar price and much more plentiful. The dish honestly tasted like its base was a store bought tin of tomato soup. There was ZERO flavour, it was bland and not appetising to say the least. The paneer didn’t seem right, it was almost rubbery like it wasn’t fresh and left out too long. We thought we were getting good value for money regarding the mocktails but quite deceivingly they are piled with lots of ice which when taken out leaves you with only half. Due to the amount of ice, if taken too long to drink it quickly becomes extremely watered down. Seating is in dire need of an upgrade. Saw a family seated as we were leaving at a table booth where the upholstery had huge tears and rips… There are about 5 humongous televisions playing sports which is rather distracting if you fancy a date night with the other half, so not ideal in those situations. Seems like the open kitchen is a deception into making you feel like you can watch them make your food fresh which isn’t the case it’s more resembling canteen food i.e bland and reheated not made in house fresh. All in all nothing authentic about this place whatsoever.

Food was excellent, we had 2 mixed grills, one veg and one non-veg, and there was more than enough food for 5 people.

Tomato soup is the chicken tikka masala (no lie eww nasty) , chicken wings not even crispy under cooked, soggy mushy rice, sheesh kebab under cooked no taste, cheese naan ok average (best part) the chef needs to sort it out, put more effort in and change the menu ingredients and cooking style. I’m sticking to the kings head! Only reason didn’t get zero stars is the price of cocktails is nice and decent… btw no ice wtf! Waitresses are lovely, very nice and friendly and helpful who deserve a pay rise as you can see they work hard and do their best

Went on a quiet Monday night at 5pm. Very enjoyable experience. Delicious food. Will have to go back on busy weekend and experience an evening meal.

Good food at good prices in pleasant venue

The Indian coke Thumbs Up is interesting.

Needs to make up its mind what it’s doing massive loud TVs on every wall sat us directly under a 60” tv after 5 minutes we got up and left could not hear ourselves think will not return as it’s just not a place to sit and eat a meal as a couple sorry

Wow, 1st time visiting this week, got to say the food was fantastic, so tasty,fresh, we loved it 😀

First impressions from the outside doesn't do this place any justice. Once inside it's very inviting and the seating areas is fab for families or groups. The staff are very friendly and happy to advise. The food is stunning and full of flavour, we were glad we didn't go for bigger meals as they would of beat us totally, even the children's meals are large plates. Will definitely be going back and recommending to friends

Very poor service, ordered masala chips with starter, brought them with mains. Boneless grill - chicken was very hard and fish pakora cold and not fresh. Mains mix veg had carrots only. Ghatti chicken, was told it is a mahar ashtrian dish, hot, nothing to do with Maharashtrian dish. No authenticity, will not go there again.

First visit last night, it was very busy and therefore noisy! However, the drinks were great 241 cocktails 🍸 the food was excellent, my friends had the mixed grill and I opted for the butter chicken. Great flavours n good portion size! Finally the service was amazing, our waitress Connie was helpful and polite and made the whole night thoroughly enjoyable! I will be back and will recommend too 💯

Lovely place well renovated and looks sleek and modern...drinks were reasonably priced and the food was very nice authentic Indian taste.

Fabulous vegan food...I had the vegan tikka...amazing! Staff are friendly. We had a party of 11 and our food was brought out all together with no one left waiting... brilliant!

Had a family celebration with close to 70 guests including children and were very impressed with the quality of food, prompt service with smiles and the willingness of the management and staff to make our special day so memorable - thank you so much🙏🏼

Professional & friendly table service. Food presented piping hot. Nice restrained decor. Recommended.

A modern tappas, sports bar, casual meeting place, curry house. Loud, almost canteen-like ( but not in a bad way), & vibrant. It does have a few quiet corners too. Waitress service for food is plus 5 percent, or go to the service point and place your order: easy. Vegan dishes were very good but the place needs a separate plant based menu, or better identification system than the present 'allergy' spreadsheet used. Staff were quick, friendly and efficient.

Have dined at 20+ of these Desi pubs. Visited the previous premises before it closed. Gave this a try. Beautiful decor throughout. Welcoming staff and as soon diners have left, they make sure the area is spotless. Excellent food generally, Masala chips a bit bland the only minus. Table service @ 5% a good idea for staff and customers alike. Would definitely visit again.

Ate here for the first time and we have to say that The New Talbot is superb! The food was exceptional, lamb madras and chicken garlic curry were super tasty and the portions very generous. The interior is tastefully decorated, the same with the toilets, which were spotlessly clean. We had a warm welcome and the atmosphere was great. Staff are really friendly and very efficient. There's a separate area to sit and have drinks which are reasonably priced. This place is a hidden gem and we will most definitely return. Highly recommend. Thanks to all at The New Talbot for a lovely evening. See you soon 😊

Great joint. Good parking at the back and smart restaurant inside. Had the mixed grills and food was amazing. Service was spot on too.

First time here, great service and amazing food. The family loved it. Reasonable prices. 10/10

Excellent experience as always. As vegans we often struggle to find nice restaurants to visit but the new Talbot provide lovely vegan options including starters, mains and desserts. As well as beautifully created vegan cocktails/mocktails. Definitly with a visit. One of a kind decor too to add to the very classy vibe.

Been to the New Talbot a few times now, a fair few times now. The food is always on point. The chicken chetinad and clay pot are to die for! Special mention to Rav behind the bar too, always has great service, very polite with the banter to match

Fantastic food. Ordered a large grill takeaway, was delivered on time, hot and very tasty. The portions are very generous (large grill fed two of us with enough for another meal)and the biscoff cheesecake finished it off nicely... I'd highly recommend.

Great food, lovely staff managed a large difficult table. Great decor and atmosphere.

BEWARE - have been to this restaurant numerous times and had nice meals j do not know if it has been took over but things have changed for the worse, after reviewing the menu there was a statement that said if you order thru the waitress/waiter you will be charged a 5 per cent charge but if you go to the counter you will not even if you order drinks when the waitress came over to take the order i queried this with her as she did not specify any of this so they would add this to the bill, i do not like this method of charging the customer this way and would prefer if service was good i would pay a tip myself so we decided not to stay as we were leaving the staff looked over and started laughing - not very professional if this practice continues i think business will decline as people like to be served when visiting restaurants and not be charged under handed

Food was wonderful price's vary good.

There is a lot of competition in the local area but this is as close to authentic Indian food as you will get. The service is 100% too

Saturday evening, good ambience. Service was great.

The food at The New Talbot Quinton is a true delight. We indulged in a delicious mix grill, featuring tender and flavorful meats cooked to perfection. The curries were rich and aromatic, offering a perfect balance of spices. The starters were a great way to kick off the meal, with each bite bursting with flavor. Beyond the exceptional food, the friendly and accommodating staff added to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Their knowledge and recommendations enhanced our dining experience, making us feel like valued guests.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

Outside the Black Country Desi Mix Grill pubs, New Talbot is up there with there with the best if not better! Service, help yourself when your ready to order if not you can get table service all part off your dining experience at this restaurant.

Horrible, food tasted as if not cooked fresh. Ordered paneer tikka it was floppy like it had been microwaved. Paneer makhani and saag paneer not worth it. Got home and have had a dodgy belly. Only go there if you want to spend time on the toilet afterwards

Been twice. Not returning. Not enough staff. Long waits and 2nd time food my was not that nice.. Ever had a saag that was as hot as a phal !

Their prawn curry was too good. Plus the naan was so fresh. A little pricey but I thought it was worth it. It's not halal but plenty of veg and seafood options

First time dinning there bit noisy had a problem hearing yourself talk. Ran out of large wine glasses but the food was great.

If you like quantity over quality this is your place. Hairs in the onions, undercooked chicken. The grill looks good, but the curry’s were not. Also why’re the sauces neon? Are they radioactive?

Tasty food. Respectful waiters. 3 big screens for sports ! Lively atmosphere. Not overly priced but maybe could have more meat in some dishes. Definitely needed to decrease waiting time...but as mentioned, respectful staff who resolved our complaint.

If you enjoy great Indian food, this place needs to be on your radar. Quite a small car park, but you can get parked on side roads close by. Once inside, you are greated by friendly, helpful staff, and you have a choice to pay as you go, or have your order taken, but this then has a service charge automatically added but it is worth it. Food is delicious and a wide choice on the menu. They also offer a good choice of drinks and if you are a sports fan, there are tv's around the walls for you to enjoy. This is one place visiting once is not enough to try other dishes.

Excellent, a genuine treat. Authentic dishes cooked with care and very helpful staff.

After few trips with friends to this place, finally decided to take family for dinner @ Talbot. As this was not prebooked we got table straight away as it was not too busy. Then the service part came where waitress asked if we want to order at the till or take table service( Just for nformation table service cost 5% extra for total bill it is printed on the menu but staff dont tell you that). I decided to go with the table service and this is where it all went wrong for me. Had to wait for food extra long time. I would have understood if place was super busy but when you can see staff(Mentioning no names) standing around doing nothing or just chatting i think then customer leaves with very uplesent expereience. Specially when i had to pay for the service i would expect it to meet the standard. Full marks to the food as always, everyone enjoyed the food. But after being left waiting ang being ignored my family written off this place as fine diner and i woun't be returning anytime soon.

Excellent place. Food was great, service great. Please try you won't be disappointed.

I'm not the kind of person who like to write negative reviews generally. However after my third disappointing visit. Not by choice I might add I really need to express my concerns. I've been dragged here three times for family functions. I would never come by choice. Let me start by saying that the staff are all polite friendly and very helpful. The starters or tapas as they like to call them have always been very good. However the mains are very different. On all three ocassion I have found the mains to taste awful. In fact I'd go so far as to say my latest the chicken tikka massal was disgusting.I felt physical sick. I just couldn't eat it and I am the kind of person who leave nothing ever. The nann breads were dripping with fat. The portions are meager at best. The restaurant is very open plan. Which if its busy is a nightmare. Because you can't hear the person next to you and That's if you have no hearing problems. Shame really. I wanted to like this place. It's local. Reasonably smart and like I say staff are welcoming and friendly. I have no idea what it is but those mains are just awful amd tiny. Update 23/4 23. Some changes have been made to The restaurant. Think it may have changed hands. Been dragged here again for a family event. Mains slightly better this time dining experience poor though. Portion sizes still poor and no table service unless you pay extra.. Serving staff seem to laid back.
