The Red Cow, Smethwick in Birmingham

Food was exceptional. The special curry was too mild for my liking but very tasty. All the food was fresh and it's now my go-to takeaway for my cheat meal :) Delivery was also super fast I couldn't believe it actually haha

The older barman is one of the most rude men I have ever encountered. He was condescending and patronising and wouldn’t allow access to the toilets even after purchasing food and started yelling about his pub being private property. A lot of other great pubs in brum, avoid this one at all costs. As far as common decent human curtsey goes this pub has none. Honestly such a shame people like this exist.

Always enjoy their food excellent

Great food great delivery man as usual makes for great evening

Chilli Chicken was just watered down, looks like the chef has been changed yet again.

Gorgeous lamb and butter chicken and very polite driver.

No waiters served. Need to order and pay at the door of pub kitchen. Good for beer and watching football match!!!

very disappointed, u guys delivered in a white bag without any seal

Friendly atmosphere, good prices 👌

the food was cold and there was a meal missing and nann bread missing

fodd was delicious as expected,always my first choice.

it was very easy to place an order once I learned how to do it the service was excellent and the driver was fantastic

I ordered via just eat and the lamb curry was delicious with big chunks of lamb. Generous portions.

They missed items ordered and it is dissappointing that the order paid for had food items missing. Had bad experience with this place ladt time. Think their days are numbered they cant compete with the contenders in this market.

Food was hot and price decent. Masala chips not enough for the price and just warm not hot, otherwise all good.

Best Butter chicken 👍 always happy to order from Red cow!!

Food amazing always on time and hot great service

Food cold and incorrect after waiting over 2hours for delivery. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Mr binji closed one of the driveway doors and shouting at me to GET MY VAN TRHOGH THE SINGLE DOOR WHEN I WASNT FEELING SAFE TO DO SO awesome customer service thx GUYS SAFETY 1ST AND DO NOT SHOUT TO YOUR CUSTOMERS😅

please send many may acont food no coming 😫

The naan was readymade the salad was stale overall it was waste of money

Best takeaway I’ve ordered in ages! Absolutely fantastic. Thank you.

One of originals . Great place.

Prompt delivery, food was delivered hot. Friendly delivery driver. Food portions are large, tasty and well cooked. Great value for money. I would definitely recommend The Red Cow Pub and Grill.

They need more toilets upstairs

After trying most of the rest I keep coming back to the Red Cow. Consistently the top Indian takeaway for freshness, flavour and customer service, by a country mile.

Great service Great sounds Good food

Ive said ‘this is the best Indian takeaway in Brum’ a few times about one or two other places in here but they’ve been inconsistent. I can confidently say that the Red Cow is THE best Indian takeaway I’ve had in the last year & just as good as the last time I ordered from them. Beautifully spiced and fresh mixed grill with perfect fish pakora, delicious tender seekh kebab, great tandoori chicken wings & tikka. Obviously all cooked fresh to order. No reheated one or two day old meat here. A++

Best curry I've tried in Smethwick, I use this place regularly, I would recommend it to anyone 💯

The food was cold.The lamb curry I ordered didn't have much lamb in the container mostly onions and tomatoes. Very disappointed!!!

Rubbish this place dont go never recommend This place is not good for indian food not freshed especially tandoori rotis are not fresh we went there saturday night with my family and we ordered some food but when i see my tandori roti omg that was too hard and cant eat and i knw these rotis are microwavble not fresh i went here many times with my friends and experience was good but this time disgusting i never go this place again i suggest to everyone if u plan to eat something with your family or friends find another place thanx

They put salad in a plastic bag, didn't eat it. Food quality is very poor and COLD. Chips look old

food as always was delicious,the wings were the bomb the chicken tikka was tender moist and moreish. all in all beautiful. will definitely put this as my no1!!

The butter chicken was hot however the rice and sabji was cold! It was so bad.

Generous portions and very tasty. Only criticism none of the carton’s were marked so we weren’t sure which was which until we tasted them.

Food was unreal and incredible value Service was good, had a laugh with the server while ordering

Today i been there with my fam but worst experience whn i place order nobody told m kitchn will close early today. The guy come with starter told us i need to serve all food kitchen will b close quickly. If happens like this why u took the order. Nd u need to tell us before not after earning more than £70 .just we start to eat our starter. He comes with roti as well. Like we are stupid need to finish all quickly if we need to eat like this without break nothing we can easily eat @ home. We lived in oldbury all the time prefer to go in red cow but this time worst experience . They hv zero sense the guy giv us plate once. No sense we need new plates affter starter. Thn my brother go to kitchen nd ask for new plates. No tissue no fresh salad. Like today we went over there not for celebration . Even to insult overselves. Decided to never ever go there. I went to kitchen to ask guy why u dont tell us before he just continues laugh no sense .. i suggest to do nt go ovr tgere

Prawns, Chicken Curry, & Naan. My Favourites 🤤

great venue parking is a bit difficult

Yes it's a humble looking pub but the atmosphere was friendly and the food was fantastic ! Only marked down because couldn't order tea or coffee. The Jalfrezi was AMAZING .

A proper desipub, excellent food and service value for money The goat curry,dal and pakoras are a must try

Was at a private party in the function room upstairs . Have been here many times in the pub downstairs as well .

the driver was absolutely rude to me ,asking my name several times when he's outside my semi detached house which had the door number clearly displayed. food was lovely though.

The food all had a horrible taste we think it was the lighter fluid used on the grill it was inedible

Got 3 different curries which were lovely but chips were old and cold. Samosa was not authentic at all.. no flavour. Naan bread was cold and wrapped in foil

Was disappointed with balti, was nothing like there usual balti. Tikka was very expensive for amount received. Nan bread was like a roti thin and very poor. Was my favourite take away until now 🙁

paneer was good. but biryani was waste of money. we had to throw it.

Saw my chicken was pink rang for a refund to be greeted by a man that hardly spoke English passed on 3 times to other members if staff that clearly knew English they just knew they was in the wrong and didn’t want to communicate with me completely unacceptable.

This time didn’t get salad with dal chwl

Chips & naan were ok, food was delivered early which was good. But the Soy curry was extremely SALTY & INEDIBLE, shahi paneer was beyond SWEET like eating a dessert as a curry, even if I mixed the two curries together it was honestly horrible overly salty and sweet which didn’t even balance a decent flavour for me to continue eating, straight in the bin. Absolutely vile, will not be ordering from there again!

Always good to pop in. The food is great and it's good to see locals in there.

Great Dahl Good pint of m & b mild to

Changed a lot since I had my wedding party there.

Good value for money. Really nice mixed grill with great fish pakora and moist seekh kebabs. Lovely Desi Bhakra and soft, fresh naan…! Jobs a good’un….

Food was cold, defosted and horrible, there was so much water on my plate that it soaked all of the rice and chips and made the food taste bland, wont be ordering from here again

food is not cooked good.... very bad experience. one thing only fish pakoda is cooked well. other grill items is bad

thanks a lot for the tasty and quality ingredients in the food.

Best food as always. food hot delicious and flavoursome. also provided cutlery for us as we are moving house and packed up. will be sad to never order from here again as we are moving too far away. best curry in west mids

Had a party, great night and great entertainment.

Fantastic Food Fantastic service Fantastic staff Thankyou

Naan was absolutely dry and cold, chips were also cold and not even half way filled up to the packet absolutely ridiculous.

Great food and service as always!

Went for a party in their function room upstairs. Was surprisingly well decorated and the food and service excellent.

Ordered 2 chicken korma and 2 garlic naan’s - delivered 2 chicken balti and naan’s - had 2 give away the 2 chicken balti’s as they are too hot for us - not sure how the mix up happened

Your oder is very late m very sad feel . Your order is not com now

Never disappoints, always great tasting food and arrives super early 10/10

exceptional as always. Best in the area keeps me coming back to smethwick. hot on delivery, freshly cooked, and no scrimping on meat.10/10

Had the fat cow mixed grill. it was good.

They take the order and after 1 hour they said food is delivered but it didn’t and when i call them to find out what’s going on they said no one in the kitchen and then they start showing their attitude and he just hung up.

Amazing food and quick delivery. Repeat customer.

Nice place. Look forward to visit again.

If you’re looking for food poisoning this is the place to go! Absolutely vile, pink and grey chicken full of veins 🤮🤮 wouldn’t even give the scraps to my dogs.

Was not impressed with taste of food delivered. I expect a Indian to taste like it . Not to get a dish that tasted like English gravy . Never have I tasted the dish I was sent like that before. Won't be using here again . Used to be really nice from here . Unfortunately this was not to my taste buds I'm afraid . Others may like this but not for me

Everything I'd hoped and more. Food fantastic, everything is well priced and staff are friendly. Revisit May 2024, it's still awesome.

Great food, great beers and a cracking atmosphere on game day, the perfect pre match location.

The mint yoghurt that was sent was out of date, it was fizzy and sour on arrival. The spring rolls had no Paneer, and the rice was over cooked. Very disappointing tonight folks.

We went to the wedding of my friend Narinder's son Sandeep at the Heritage Banqueting Suite at the Red Cow 🐄 The food and service were excellent 👌 with the waiters and bar staff being very attentive and catering for our every need. I'd would certainly recommend the Heritage Banqueting Suite for anyone wishing to hold a wedding as the service, food and atmosphere were excellent

Really good service, delivered early by a cheerful driver. Excellent quality food and large portions, reasonable prices.

First time ordering from here and never again! I noticed the restaurant has quite a lot of positives reviews and a few negative ones stating the meat being off or raw. I thought I would give them the benefit of doubt. And now I wish I hadn’t! The chicken was slimy and smelt off and they try to cover it with a lot of sauce and spice so you will not notice the smell. It honestly made me sick! As I have worked in catering before for many years and I know for a fact they are selling out of date meat which I have informed Enviromental Health to investigate! This is disgusting how they are taking advantage of their customers! Please if you decide to ignore my complaint that is entirely up to you but please for your own safety and wellbeing when ordering any meat from here smell it carefully and check throughly before eating. Best of luck.

aasked for extra sauces/dips. didn't have any or salad with food.

Great food and good people. We will be back.

The most friendly pub / Desi I have been in by far. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome,Food was 5***** We will be back !!

Very yummy food, will definitely order again

Only realised how good this place was after going to sportsman in West Brom they serve completely burnt food. Red cow is top Gami and Bira do great job here

Friendly staff and great tasting food!!

All Delicious Thanks really Enjoyed that ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Food was one of the worst we’ve had from here, arrived late and cold. The chips were so moist in the bag that the paper bag had ripped and they were all in the bottom of the carrier bag. The chicken on the bone was pink and jelly looking which just put us off instantly, the meat was clearly undercooked and the curry was like a bowl of water, absolutely disgusting and hasn’t been eaten. Straight in the bin. Waste of money.

Food is cold and items are missing

as usual anything ordered from the Red Cow is of awesome quality piping hot and tasty 😋 thankyou

Not happy with the mix grill. Definitely not cooked fresh and has been precooked. Tikka dry. Wings dry. Sheekh Kebab Definitely cooked frozen and reheated. Lamb chops dry. Lolli pop was ok. Chilli chicken was nice. Definitely won't be ordering a mix grill again.

Went to an engagement party. Food was really nice, service was good but they did try and keep taking away the food before we had finished eating. Apart from that it was really good.

Great food and service as always!

When I opened the delivery bag, the bags that held both the chips and the samosas were so wet that they broke as I tried transferring them to my plate. I ended up only having a few chips and a couple of samosas. You need to change the containers to keep the food warm and fresh.

Chicken malaise tikka good but pub charged £2.50 for can of coke

Need more places to sit, not enough tables

Excellent quality, food was hot, tasty and plentiful. Delivered with a smile.

Not the same as normal bones in my tandoori chicken pieces chilli chicken was to tough

All positive, I order from them and i am happy with their food and service.

Been twice, both times the chap that took my order and payment was sarcastic.. I ordered two grilled mains and was only given one salad, I asked for an extra one (little lettuce onion bag) and he charged me 😳 bit of a joke really. That being said the food is decent, but would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Chill chips was too cold and soggy
