Great food and beer at The Royal Oak. Friendly staff and great venue. Five Stars.

Food amazing and service incredible. Drink prices great.

Food always come fast and hot! Lovely staff had amazing service off menisha

Manisha is the best waitress I have ever had the pleasure of meeting she is so nice and always smiling, nothing is too much trouble , she's very helpful, all the staff are amazing to be honest. Great service and great staff with amazing food 👌

Work party here, great beer and food. Waitresses were attentive and made our night.

Great food and atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Lovely staff.

Great atmosphere, excellent service and quality food

Fantastic family orientated venue. Twenty of us celebrated a birthday here and not only was the service was impeccable, the quality of the food is second to none. I was pleasantly surprised to see an attendant maintaining the cleanliness of the toilets, something not common here in the UK. Thank you to the team at Royal Oak Birmingham for making the celebration one to remember!

Great food and service as always. If you like a curry and a decent pint, highly recommend.

Chetana who served us was very helpful and above all the food was delicious plus atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back. Driving to bath our home

The food was really great! Amazing tasty food for great prices. Also the staff were very nice and attentive. Overall great service. Would definitely recommend!

Been coming to this pub for a years now.never thought i would see these prices for drinks.even worse before a game.sad news.🤔🤔🤔

They hike prices of food and drink on a match day to a ridiculous level. £10 for a Pukka Pie is ridiculous!

Amazing food and the quality of the meat is the best out of all the desi pubs. Family friendly, great atmosphere and drink selection. I don't think anyone rivals this place in the west midlands. Keep up the great work!! Lamb chops are ridiculously good too!

I visited the Royal Oak today and the pub is a very nice place, clean and very modern looking. The staff are amazing from the the gentleman than work behind the bar fo the friendly female hosts...who are always smiling no matter how busy it's gets!!!! Great place for sports too!!

Been coming here many years and will continue to keep coming in, the staff are so so friendly and welcoming, i think its because of them i come here so often. The food is lovely and the drinks are clean and crisp, which means the pipes are cleaned often. The new Remi Martin room is also very good for small parties and functions. It's nice having a proper family pub in Handsworth.

Went here yesterday and had a great experience. Met the manager I'm presuming it is was pretty friendly. We had a mix grill which is probably the best I've had. 5 star

Our experience started as 5 stars with a warm welcome and great food! We then order an extra dish (chilli chicken) because we enjoyed our first lot of food. This however wasn’t very great and tasted like fried chicken that had been sitting for a while tossed in ketchup and peppers. After going back and fourth with the waitress who offered a refund and then back tracked we asked to speak to her manager who was the rudest, stuck and most self cantered person I’ve ever come across. With no understanding of customer service or just general communication. Utterly embarrassing and a disgrace to the restaurant. After compromising and shoving a menu at us and stomping off we order a replacement dish, which we waited 45 minutes for. We then went to the kitchen, all the cooks looked at us knowing there’s an issue, then the chef tells us all the fryers off and he can’t make it, because they’d been told not to make food for us, in hope we’d wait give up and leave. The chef said he would give us 2 desserts instead (which is what is comprised and asked the manager to give us- in which he shouted in our face and said 1 dish only, despite 2 desserts being the value of 1 dish). The attitude of this manger is the worse I have ever experienced and for such a successful restaurant it was and absolute joke to cause such a fuss over £10. No point going around shaking hands with people around the restaurant when you have no understanding for true customer service. I hope he feels ashamed of the way he spoke to us, what an embarrassment. Such a shame as general service was great as well as first lot of food. You need to do better, and stay humble.

For a restaurant heavily honouring Sidhu Moose wala what a dishonouring experience. My experience today has been a complete disgrace to the values of Sidhu. Never have I come across such appalling attitude from a manager. No understanding of how to treat customers respectfully, patronising and an embarrassment. It’s all well using the face and the name of Sidhu as marketing and promotion for your restaurant, true success comes with actually understanding the teachings he left us with. So disappointed with the way management treated and dealt with us. What a shame for what started off as a great experience.

Absolute disgraceful management, no mannerism, disrespectful completely ruined what stared as an enjoyable evening. Lack of customer service and ability to communicate and a polite or normal way. What a disservice to the restaurant and the community.

Traveled to see family in the midlands, meal out at the Royal Oak, amazing food and staff and management were very welcoming, service for the evening was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.

Have eaten at Royal Oak so many times, food was good to begin with steadily over time the quality has declined. Over priced dishes with poor flavours. Ordered saag: no taste of garlic or ginger, tasted out of tin! Had tarka dhal just runny yellow water with coriander. Wasted £17 on 2 dishes. I expected better, fame has gone to their head! Will not eat here again, better food places elsewhere on Soho rd, would not recommend, ever. Think the good chef has left.

Visited this place with my fiance and parents after a recommendation. We were not disappointed! The food and service was immaculate. So much so that I went up to the owner to tell him how nice it was. A credit to you and your staff. I have been to a few desi pubs around Birmingham and this is by far the best. We will definitely be back thank you 👍

This place is amazing! All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, The choice of drinks is unreal. Not to mention the food is out of this world.

Best mixed grill by a mile! Been coming here for years and the quality of food never misses. Best in Birmingham

Amazing food, good, fast and accurate service!

Visited this restaurant with extended family; we ordered drinks, starters, and main dishes. Food was delicious and good portion sizes. Spicy level and flavour varied, which I liked a lot. We had to get our own water glasses and pitcher for our table. We ordered at the bar as well. For a large group, I expected table service from a server/waiter. Clean and modern atmosphere, but more pub-like than Indian restaurant with large screens everywhere and the bar being the central feature in the restaurant. Great if you want to meet up with friends for a drink and curry. Not so great if you want dinner with family. I’m curious about the old farm tractor on top of the awning at the entrance… 😊

What a fantastic 360 experience!!! The decor, vibe, ambiance, mood, lighting, music…. Then the delicious finger-licking food was spot on!!! We travelled from Northampton as heard lots about the place - and it 100% lived up to our expectations…. And more. Can’t wait to visit again!

First time attending but went with a person whom would drive over an hour to attend this venue for; the ambience, the food and the GIANT TV screen which looked UHD - very clear/no colour loss. I ordered the medium mixed grill platter- it was fantastic! Everything I ate was cooked to perfection and therefore great value for money. I have dietary allergies and doubled checked with the very friendly staff upon ordering - I'm sure they will be able to help. I would definitely recommend this venue and will return very soon. It was very family friendly and inside did have different seating areas, also for reservations. The was also an external back garden seating area.

Best place in Birmingham for drinks and food, If you haven’t been, it’s a MUST, quality atmosphere and vibe!!!

We visit the restaurant for quick bites. Unfortunately we were sad as it wasn’t family friendly. My kids got terrified from people around us as they were very drunk and unfriendly. Their Food and service was good. I would have been more happy if they could consider to have some area only for family and kids.

Chetna was an amazing server and we received the best customer service, felt right at home, had the large mixed grill and other appetites and it was absolutely amazing, honestly perfectly seasoned and tasty well prepared meals and so are the masala chips. We are thankful to the chefs and the very lovely staff. We will be back again.

It is the best place for indian food in Birmingham. Staff is very nice. Service is excellent.will highly recommend.

We came as a family and order a variety of sabjis must say I was a little disappointed we ordered Bombay aloo and pindi and they looked exactly the same and tased very similar apart from one had aloo and the other pindi. The naans and chilli chips were amazing along with the daal. The pub is spacious and service was alright. The new remy Martin lounge looked great just have to book in advance.

Don't be put off by the main road / area, if you LOVE desi food in a clean, stylish, open and airy environment then look no further than Royal Oak. I was taken to the Royal Oak by some friends last week and the first thing that grabs your attention is the murals dedicated to the late Sidhu Moosewala (Panjabi Superstar) on the left and right hand side of the main building as well as the 5911 tractor on the balcony. Attention to detail is sublime. When you walk in, you see a sleek, stylish and great looking bar with large sky glass windows bringing in a lot of natural light. Like with most proper Desi mixed grill places, you scan through the menu and order at the kitchen section. I am vegan so spoke with the girl taking our order and she gave so much focus to it that she advised me of dishes to avoid as they COULD have cross contamination with paneer (let alone meat)! This was fantastic. We ordered a number of dishes including the soya curry, soya chilli and tandoori roti with masala chips. The lads ordered a mixed grill and it was massive and delicious (according to them). The food came relatively quickly and the taste was amazing. Definitely what you expect from an establishment with such a stellar reputation. Keep up the great work, really impressed. I can't wait to go back! 10/10.

Best mixed grill 😃😃 would come every day if I could afford it

Today, i went to the royal oak with my husband. We really enjoyed their food and service. The behaviour of staff towards their customers is appreciable.

The mixed grill was absolutely worth every bite, delivering a medley of flavors that left a lasting impression. The large screens provided the perfect backdrop for watching football matches, adding to the vibrant and energetic atmosphere. To top it off, the service was impressively quick, making the overall experience even more enjoyable.

Lovely food good services nice and clean

Recently visited The Royal Oak, I was thoroughly impressed with the authentic decor each corner is adorned with cultural artifacts that adding to the restaurant's charm, every dish was so good and had authentic flavor, made it truly delightful dining experience. Highly recommend for everyone 😊

Nice food. Everything cool. Chetna gives an amazing service.

This place is very excellent from rest of the restaurants in B,HAM. Great customer service and binder was excellent for providing good customer service and alot of option available there in beers and spirits.

Excellent food and service. Well worh the visit. Great value too.

This is the best mixed grill restaurant and sports bar all in one. Very family friendly. Binder was amazing. Great customer service.

Great pub! Always a good friendly atmosphere here and a decent selection of beers and spirits. Service is good and the food is super tasty! Parking can be a pain, but there are places to park in the area.

Brilliant place very family friendly lovely food and owner brilliant service!! 10/10 would come again. Lovely atmosphere

Food and service was amazing mixed grill plater is a must ……… the kichen also cooked a curry that wasn’t on the menu .Staff were very attentive , polite and efficient . Big screens to watch the sport and the deco was really unique can’t wait to revisit my new favourite spot in Brum .

Food was amazing as always as was the service. Binder was excellent as was the rest of the team. Always a pleasure and by far the best Punjabi mixed grill around!!!

Alongside a small group of friends I visited the Royal Oak and I can safely say wow..what an expierence..the place is stunning.so creative and well thought out.the food is heaven.so well presented, the taste of each dish is very different to any other sizzler eatery I've been too to date..the salmon dish and pan fried lamb are so mouth watering..what a delight..thank you to all the royal oak team..

Blasting horrendous music all day and night long. The place should be shut down. I can't believe the owner has the audacity to have a statue of a Sikh man on top of the pub yet the restaurant clearly serves alcohol and halal meat? Have a bit of shame and get rid of the statue out of respect. Disrespecting a religion to the next level.

service very poor food not spicy order system not correct after every order pay again again

Had a really good time. Amrik the owner is brilliant and the food was great, definitely recommend.

Visited them after a strong recommendation from a friend. It was worth the effort on our way back to london from holidays. We really liked their grill menu. We ordered both veg & non veg platter, both were mouth watering. Mutton seek kebab and chicken hariyali was outstanding. I missed the biryani because platter portion was too big. Will try the main course next time.

One of the best restaurant I have ever visited amazing food with great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

Food was superb. I really felt its quite a popular place but Its a bit loud and chaotic on weekend

Nice place to drink & eat... The only thing that lets it down is the toilet. Brings back old memories...👮‍♂️⏸️🔒

Food is fabulous will visit again.

Thanks again this year for hosting such a lovely tribute to Sidhu Moussewala

Really nice and polite staff very welcome

Food place really nice nice service Ok 👍

Miss u sidhu 22 love you Always

Very friendly staff and the food was made fresh and was delicious.

This is a spacious Punjabi pub and offers a family-friendly eating out experience. Our party of 6 walked in for dinner on a Sunday and they easily found a table for us. The ambiance is infused with the musical legacy of Siddhu Moosewala whose theme is big in the interior as it is on the exterior of the pub. There are plenty of options for both vegetarian and meat lovers. In fact, I think the veggies selection is the most varied I’ve seen in pubs around this area. Service is good and fast. The food tastes nice and it is close to an authentic experience of the Punjabi cuisine. The corn & cashew rolls were the best of the starters that we tried and the chana masala was my favorite main curry. Pricing is reasonable. I really liked the function hall’s décor, which is located at the end of the main dining area and will definitely consider booking it for a party.

Delicious curry and accommodating to large groups. Massive stadium screen inside for the matches. Cobra pints with a beaut curry, did wonders before the game.

Can be a little loud during game time but the food and service is so good! We always stop by when we go past Birmingham.

A large well laid out Indian pub grill with a "classic" Punjabi pub grub. Good variety for both meat lovers and veggies. Good decor and spacious seating all around. Huge, and I mean huge screen, so a perfect place for sports. Lots of TVs all around the central bar and restaurant. But there is one mega screen which allows anyone from many angles across the front to watch and enjoy sport. Lots of choice of beer and spirits. Good service and food well presented.

One of the finest places for Indian food in Birmingham. Must try Gulab Jamun.

They didn't go to eat anything, just to have a beer and it's a good place to do it!

One of the best food and pub places to visit

HALAL CURRIES WITH A STATUE OF A SINGH ON TOP. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. HEAD CHEF CONFIRMED THE HALAL STATUS.

I made a complaint about 7 months ago about the music and the loudness coming from this pub! It stopped and now all of a sudden the past couple of months it has started to get louder again. If it carries on im reporting it as im fed up of it!

Came here on a champions league night. Lovely place, great atmosphere. Fantastic food sharing platter for 4 was excellent as was the lamb on the bone.

Nice food, pleasant surroundings, punjabi music, and a homily feeling.

Lovely place great service,a little over priced not good with parking but would recommend

Very big quantity for cheaper prices. After the starters stomach was almost full, we packed the main course. The food was awesome very tasty and well prepared.

Great pre footie pub. Huge TV screens

Excellent for a pre match meal/drink before watching the mighty Baggies

Love this place we have been many times with our large family, service is always spot on, food is always delicious we’ve never had an issue, and the atmosphere is great. All the staff are always so pleasant and helpful ❤️

A very clean place, great atmosphere for a football game but the food wasn't the best and is over hyped.

Really good food, nice place to eat with friends and watch football. However, despite the multiple screens the sport doesn't dominate the atmosphere. Only complaint would be that when we visited it was too hot inside to be entirely comfortable. We had Indian born members of the party complaining about the heat.

Inside the pub was lovely Food was amazing, staff polite and I would definitely visit again

The best grill in Birmingham by far! Food and atmosphere is great.

A MUST TRY - Wow, what a place. Amazing food, like really amazing. Highly recommend this place. Definitely coming back. Only downfall is parking but we got lucky and got parking 30 second walk on the main road. Don’t let that put you off.

Good stuff all round. Only parking can be an issue but you just have to find somewhere. Great restaurant though - will defo be back.

Tried this venue for the 1st time as we usually eat locally in Wolves. The food here was amazing. Medium mixed grill is for 2 people and large for 3. The cost was slightly more in comparison to my local but was worth it, IMO. The place is big, clean and modern. A shrine to Moosewalla, as you can see by the many photos posted. Parking is on side streets, but we were lucky as found 1 straight away (on Sunday, but I'm not sure what it's like on a Friday or Saturday). Check the closing times, BTW, as they close earlier than most pubs. I would defo recommend it and will be returning 👌.

Great place for authentic Indian food
