The Royal Oak in Birmingham

Probably the best mixed grill I’ve had! Food is always 10/10

1st timer but impressed with quality of food. I had minced lamb (Keema) and palak paneer. Couldn't fault it.

The best mixed grill in b'ham. Hands down. A must go to when visiting b'ham. Food heaven ♥️

Travelled all the way from Newcastle just to try the famous mixed grill at The Royal Oak, and it was absolutely worth it! The food was cooked to perfection—every item on the plate was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was just as impressive, with friendly and attentive staff making the experience even better. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and top-notch hospitality. Will definitely be back!

Prabh is simply exceptional. Every time I have needed support, Prabh has delivered with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine willingness to help. The level of service I have received has been consistently outstanding. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble. It is rare to find someone so reliable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Prabh does not just meet expectations but exceeds them every single time. I always feel in safe hands, and I am truly grateful for the continued support. An absolute credit to the team.

Amazing food and service 😋 yummy thank you for good service

The food was amazing and me and my family ate that food down like no tomorrow beautiful scenery and great staff overall an amazing food experience

Had a stag party here last night! Group of 15 of us, all from different towns coventry, leicester, london, Peterborough and wolverhampton. All i can say it was 10/10 for the food, service, Atmosphere the whole vibe. Each dish had its own flavours! even on the mixgrill each different meat had its own taste NOT like your other mix grill places where everything is just red. We have already booked another get together in the coming weeks to come back here again. Rocky Aujla

Incredible mixed grills. As a whole, the best I've ever had. Room is amazing. Really recommend. Difficult parking though.

It's a really nice place to be I would go again

Great atmosphere for a pre game pint

Awfull food. Awfull service. Don't go and waste your money.

I had a wedding party At the royal oak it was awesome to be there All of my guests were happy with food I am specially thankful of Vaneet jindal Chef he was so kind And service was brilliant So so much Thank you mr chef To make my party wonderful 😇😇🙏🙏

Me and my two kids were here on Saturday 22nd February. We had travelled up to watch Oxford United play West Bromwich Albion. We came in here for a drink before the game on a mates recommendation. Have to say I wasn't disappointed. Friendly welcome and we were served quickly. Didn't have any food but it looked and smelled absolutely delicious. Definitely return again

Great experience , lovely food, good staff, top Chef

Best food in the world all my family love it 🥰 5 star ⭐️ well recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant atmosphere with amazing Food I recommend this place 100%

This is by far the best mixed grill place in the West Midlands!!! If you are looking for a Desi pub/grill this is the place! The taste of the dishes, the quality of the ingredients are without a showdown of a doubt the finest! The lamb chops are amongst the meatiest I’ve ever eaten! The place is immaculate including the toilets which is always a good sign. The fact you can see the chefs at work visibly from the dining area is confidence inspiring. I drive 12 miles to go to this place and drive past 3 other desi pubs but it’s definitely worth the drive. Never been disappointed. The manager goes around tables ensuring everything is as it should be. A nice touch. Hands down much better than Soho tavern, Champey’s etc…..

Didn't have food but brilliant pub good service and lots of tvs to watch sport

Not good food not good manement is not good .if want complaint for food manement not give answer properly.

Had the vegetarian options food was amazing. Portion sizes are great by the time I had finished starters I was full. Owner kept checking to see if we were happy with our food and the service. Place gets very busy. Parking can be an issue. Perfect for families

Been here twice in the past month. Food is on point. Compliments to the chef, Vineet.

WOW! Hidden gem of a place in Handsworth Absolutely wonderful food and really good service and nice staff. This pub serves freshly prepared food that tastes so good . You can taste the fresh ingredients. This spot is recommended for all occasions! Had lovely night out with family .Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavours and beautifully presented. Awesome from start to finish . Environment was great and extremely good service. Highly recommended 100%. Would visit again and again ....

Ordered a pint of Peroni which was flat, not a big deal to me as I was only in there with a mate for a quick one killing time. We perched on the bar and when I was half way through the pint I got a tap on the shoulder from the bar man holding a fresh pint who replaced it due to the flatness of my pint. Fantastic service and well appreciated!

We have been to Royal Oak a few times now and keep coming back with our families because of the relaxed vibe, great food, and amazing, friendly staff. The food is always consistently good—we’ve never experienced any inconsistencies—and it tastes fantastic. It’s the best Punjabi food I’ve had! The dal makhani is my favorite—absolutely to die for. A special mention to Chetna, Archana, Monu, and Davinda, who are always efficient and incredibly friendly every time we visit.

Best mixy I've been too (and I've been to a lot). Mixed grill was actually fresh meat that wasn't overly spiced.

Good place for pre football drink

Flew into Birmingham from Germany, Munich and we headed for dinner to Royal Oak on day 1 itself. Royal Oak stands for - Finger licking yum food, Sidhu Moosewala Vibe and amazing hospitality!!! The Royal Oak on Holyhead Road is absolutely fab- a true Punjabi heritage treasure! We went there with my veerji and his family for a proper Punjabi meal—and honestly, it felt like we were back home in Punjab. The food was absolutely mind-blowing, hands down the best Punjabi cuisine we’ve had in the UK. The Sidhu Moosewala theme and music added such a brilliant vibe to the evening. Sunny and Davinder veere were amazing—they looked after us so well and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal to the fullest. We kicked things off with the Grill, Lamb Chops, and Chilly Chicken—each dish was full of authentic Punjabi flavours and cooked to perfection. The Paneer Tikka and Veg Manchurian were just as amazing. For the mains, the Dal Makhani paired with soft, buttery Garlic Naans was pure comfort food, straight out of a Punjabi kitchen. And the desserts? The Gulab Jamun and Gajar Halwa were just like what you’d get at a proper Punjabi wedding—sweet, rich, and absolutely delicious. The vibe of the place was proper lively—full of energy, warm hospitality, and so many smiling faces. Top-notch experience, 5 stars all the way

We had a fantastic experience today The presentation was amazing and food was super delicious especially Veg Manchurian/Mixed grill was super yumm😋😋. The customer service was also top notch Highly recommended

I have ordered starters like chicken wings and mutton biryani both are very nice and tasteful and best item is mutton biryani with gravy is much recommended and the place is comfy and beautiful and we can also have all kinds of drinks too

No lo hemos estado por un tiempo. Chetna nos vio e incluso saber lo que pedimos - ajo cordero cada vez! 🥰 este lugar nunca decepciona - el servicio de comida y los alrededores son excelentes - no iría a ningún otro lugar

The best restaurant around Birmingham (and the UK too). Highly recommended. Punjabi foods A++++

Amazing food, ordered way 2 much so portion sizes r big. Gr8 service, atmosphere was ok but the football was on so was loud will defo b going back

Best place in Birmingham! Kids love it here! Foods brilliant owners fantastic! Staff super helpful.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Great to see proper Punjabi food and especially jhatka (non-halal)

Had a family party in the Remy Martin Lounge at the Royal Oak for a big birthday and everything was perfect. Food and service was top class.

Tuve mi fiesta de cumpleaños número 40 en el salón Amricks Remy Martin y todo lo que puedo decir es que fue increíble. La comida era un excelente estándar y todos los huéspedes no podían complementar lo suficiente en la comida y el lugar. El ambiente era perfecto y el personal era atento y nada era demasiado para ellos. Lo recomendaría encarecidamente para fiestas y la comida de nuevo era de primera clase! Definitivamente se utilizará para eventos futuros. 10 de 10

Thanks to the lovely Nepalese girl for her wonderful service ❤️ Mongolian soya was cut too small n fried in pakora type batter. Not to my taste n needs a sauce accompaniment. Masala chips aren't as nice as they were unfortunately. Husband, son loved their food, meat based, so a win. Oh prices have shot up too! There's a fine line between the popular grills n restaurants 🤔grills u generally serve yourself cutlery etc. Restaurants u don't need to, a proper sit in experience 😉

Great place! We go to watch the footie often but never been here, however, we will definitely be coming here again! Great service. Excellent food. Good atmosphere. Nicely decorated. Toilets also very clean. We ordered: Large grill 2 x chicken tikka wrap Chicken tikka Kids chicken burger Poppadoms Chips Masala chips Garlic naan Can't fault the place and would highly recommend!

Delicious food, warm atmosphere, and excellent service! Highly recommend Royal Oak for authentic Indian flavors.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Royal Oak in Birmingham, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped in, the hospitality was warm and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for what was to come. The food was incredibly fresh, with each dish bursting with flavor. The chilli chicken was absolutely amazing—spicy, tender, and packed with a delightful depth of taste. The lamb chops were another standout; they were perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The naans were a dream—soft, fluffy, and lightly charred, just the way they should be. But the real nostalgia hit when I tasted the butter chicken. It took me right back to my childhood, evoking memories of eating hearty meals at highway dhabas. The creamy, rich texture and authentic taste made it feel like a warm embrace of familiar flavors. Overall, The Royal Oak not only impressed with its hospitality but also with the freshness and quality of its food. I can’t wait to return for another round of these delicious dishes! Highly recommend it to anyone craving great Indian cuisine with a personal touch.

A good example of the 'desi pub' the food/value for money ratio is good. I've eaten here 3 times over as many years. The food is consistently good. But, its full of noisy football fans, I went on an evening when the local club were playing. I will avoid big match days in the future, for a more peaceful eating experience.

Amazing!! Can't believe we found this place, it's awesome, the food was amazingand was a decent price for 7 of us.

We 6 of us visited this place on Monday night out. The food quality was totally not up to standards as we have a mixed grilled but it was full of oil . This looks like meat was deep fried then put on coals to gave it a BBQ taste. Asked for tandoori roti and it was worst than tawa roti . Curries - chicken and lamb curry was full of raw onions and capsicums. It was more than an onion and capsicum curry rather than chicken and lamb curry. Asked for full salad and we get onions , carrets and green chillies in a plate and finally owner have got bit attitude problem. Sorry for any inconvenience

What gem of place always lively atmosphere great food with open kitchen views, the mix grills are good quality and staff very friendly welcoming Nice decor touches

The food and the service was amazing especially the service by Monu

First time here, I have to say the starters were very average. Good clean venue but not the best mix grill I’ve had around here.

Unfortunately the butter chicken was not prepared and presented the authentic way , the gravy was fine but instead of tandoori pieces Chicken style goujons were served There was no garnish of cream / coriander / julienne of ginger at all

Hi there food was lovely.and the staff named binder was very very friendly helpful From. Talvinder S Panesar

It was an excellent experience I really enjoyed it and I recommend it staff are really good and services is good

A good solid option for Tikka food. No parking except on the surrounding streets and on a very busy road; but nicely done out with plenty if flare and character. Being a big open space it is a bit noisy when busy, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a popular place. Food was good, price was about what you would expect to pay these days, ~£15-20 a head but the food scales well if in a larger group. Portions were decent. Drinks are expensive, but that seems to be the norm now too with Tikka and Grill places. All in all not a bad choice for a decent meal in a good setting.

Very nice place and amazing staff. Great

Reservamos dos mesas y asistimos como parte de nuestro equipo de Navidad para bebidas y una comida antes de visitar Tonight Josephine (ver reseña). Gran comienzo de la noche. La comida estaba absolutamente en su punto, muy buena calidad, porciones de buen tamaño y a un precio competitivo. Bebidas también razonables para un pub del centro de la ciudad. Personal amable y servicial, colas ok en el bar y baños agradables y limpios. Volvería a visitar sin dudarlo. Todo bien y recomiendo.

Great tasting food and pub atmosphere with big screens playing football. Had a great time with the family.

We recently had our company Xmas party at Royal Oak. The food was outstanding especially chilli chicken, lamb chops and all the nan breads and curries. Great informal atmosphere for catch-up with colleagues, friends or family.

Gran comida y un interior encantador. Restaurante desde fuera es engañoso ya que por dentro es muy amplio y moderno. Gran selección de comida a excelentes precios. Gran opción para cenar casual. Aparcamiento en el establecimiento.

Food was amazing and I've been to lots of bar n grills but food here was top notch... outside on the roads a bit dodgy but other than that it's a good place to eat. Lots of family's in there too and wasn't too loud

We ordered the food and Siri at the counter was super helpful as my niece has a nut allergy she was brilliant pointed out all the dishes that would be safe for her to eat. Siri even checked on us to make sure everything was ok. Thank you Siri for all your help 😊

The Royal Oak on Holyhead Road is an absolute gem! We went for a family meal on my brother Jas’s recommendation, along with him and his family, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was hands down the best Punjabi cuisine we’ve had in the UK—it genuinely felt like eating in Punjab! We started with the Veg Platter, Grill, Lamb Chops, and Chilly Chicken—each dish was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. The Paneer Tikka and Veg Manchurian were also to die for. For mains, the Dal Makhani paired with the perfectly soft and flavorful Garlic Naans was simply outstanding. To top it all off, the desserts—Gulab Jamun and Gajar Halwa—were the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal. The vibes were just eccentric, with great hospitality and lots of smiling faces all around. We loved the warm and inviting atmosphere and can’t wait to come back again. If I could, I’d give it 10 stars out of 5. Highly recommend!

Had our office Christmas party out here, Everyone had an amazing time… lots of food and drinks, to add on great service. Must visit for anyone missing desi food

Visited the Royal Oak on Holyhead Road for a family meal on our friend Jas’s recommendation, and it exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely incredible—the best Asian food we’ve had in all of the UK. The ambience was warm and inviting, with great hospitality and lots of smiling faces all around. We loved the vibe and would definitely come back again. If I could, I’d give it 6 stars out of 5. Highly recommend!

The food at the Royal Oak is top quality and great value for money, also has a great selection at the bar.

Clean up the place properly, sticky tables, dirty cutlery is not acceptable, Food is average, but contact surfaces are terrible, on a positive some staff are very professional and others have a bad attitude and have to be told several times what you require, not impressed, and won't be returning.

Stopped in for a drink and small meal. Had Chicken Jalfrezi, spring rolls, samosa, cheese naan and roti. All dishes were good, freshly cooked and very tasty. Kitchen staff were helpful and friendly.

We come over from Ireland to watch the baggies the staff and food the atmosphere is just brilliant thank you

Excellent food and service. Decor is interesting. Went at weekday lunchtime so was quiet. Cost £15 each for vegetarian good size meal.

¡Puedo hacer mejor comida en casa! Pedido Pollo TIKKA masala y viene en un curry amarillo insulso con trozos de muslo deshuesados llenos de grasa preguntó a la cocina que dijeron que tienes que decirle al chef que quieres urma de pechuga deshuesada hola Tilka es pechuga en tandoor no cocido no vale la pena la visita y £ 70 después todavía con hambre nunca volverá completamente decepcionado de la comida... . Akbars es! Me gustaría que me devolvieran algo de mi dinero y la próxima vez que esté en esa zona les llevaré un curry casero y les mostraré cómo sabe realmente un curry!

I can make better food at home ! Ordered Chicken TIKKA masala and it comes in a bland yellow curry with boneless thigh pieces full of fat asked the kitchen they said u have to tell the chef u want boneless breast urm hello Tilka is breast in tandoor not cooked not worth the visit and £70 later still hungry will never return completely disappointed in the food…. Akbars it is ! I would like some of my money back and next time I’m in that area I will take them a home cooked curry and show them how a curry shud really taste like !

Went before football game, limited menu as very busy. Food was great, bar busy but loads of servers so no issues. Have been before not on match day and food was good. Would recommend

This pub is really lovely! I always come here with my family, and everyone feels safe and enjoys the great atmosphere. The staff are fantastic and attentive, helping us from the moment we arrive until we leave. It really feels like a place where you want to stay because of the hospitality. The food is excellent, with authentic Indian, Indochinese, and some English dishes. I can confidently say they have some of the best chefs in the West Midlands and the UK!The vibes of desi culture really add to the experience, and having the Indian Bullet Motorbike and Tractor there must have brought back some lovely memories for your parents too! It's great when places can connect us to our past like that.The vibes of desi culture really add to the experience, and having the Indian Bullet Motorbike and Tractor there must have brought back some lovely memories for your parents too! It's great when places can connect us to our past like that. Another reasom to visit The Royal oak is that that they have one of the biggest screens in the UK for watching football. It feels like being right in the stadium watching the match with your friends. What a cool experience! That's awesome! It's great to hear that they have a private room for hire that can accommodate up to 100 people. That would be perfect for gatherings or celebrations with family and friends!Absolutely! Hats off to the management for creating such a wonderful atmosphere and experience. They really know how to make everyone feel welcome and enjoy their time there! 👏

Good food and atmosphere. Brilliant customer service

Wonderful taste and excellent service, highly recommended

Amazing food and awesome Service - been there 3 times now and they have never failed me - Murg Chutney Wala was so amazing

The was a overweight guy taking videos and I was in the background of his (tiktok) video then when I approached him in the toilets he then proceeded to make funny hand gestures as if he don’t know while urinating in the toilet. He then proceeded after to sit with the owner of the pub

Excellent pub as an away fan (norwich city). Good beer, good staff, good vibe, clean, excellent sky sports coverage, highly recommended ☺️

Great away pub for football fans if going to West Brom. Friendly staff, Great service. Lots of TV screens showing live game's

Service very nice and polite service provided. Thank you very much😺👌

Gurinder behind the bar a top bloke, always at hand to help.

Food is bland, portions for price you pay is a bit over the top, hard to find parking too, atmosphere is good tho

Very pleasant experience with my entire family. Many thanks to monu paji and Manisha di and the rest of the staff for their delicious food and wonderful service.

Lovely place to eat. I've visited twice for lunch with my partner and we've enjoyed everything we've ordered. We highly recommend the lamb chops and the tandoori prawns. Seasoned well and very tasty. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The waitress was assisting us on items on the menu. We will return again as we were pleased with this restaurant. Only downfall is there is no designated car park.

Big and spacious with lots of TV's for the games. Big selection of food and drinks and great atmosphere

Nice place, food was good, the drinks are a little pricey.

Birmingham's best Punjabi grill hands down 🔥

Fantastic food in a desi sports pub environment.

The Royal Oak in Handsworth, Birmingham (just before the wba ground) Lamb Rara, Chicken saag, masala chips, raita and roti to share - £29 This place is priced a little higher than most your Birmingham mixed grills but the curries are full of flavour and so well cooked! Would highly recommend for a curry as feel it is excellent value considering how tasty the food is. I would expect this more at a proper restaurant than a pub! #Rinviews #RineshRatings 9/10

Amazing food, really good service and a really nice place! Loved it!

Love the fact it represents Sidhu and his memory. The food is top, staff are professional and it has a variety of drinks. Well done

Great selection of beers, food is always excellent, nice family vibe and you always receive service with a smile 😊 Highly recommend a visit.

Keema naan very tasty Saag chicken was delicious Celepration cake was good snd way of seeving it💕

Visited a day ago to the Royal Oak for a birthday celebration and dinner, and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was lively and positive, perfect for the occasion. Riya, our server, truly stood out—she was warm, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. There was a wide range of veg and non veg food selection ,But Chefs recommendations for food and cheerful demeanor added a prefect spice to the celebration. The food was delicious, and the selection of drinks complemented the evening perfectly. Overall, it was a memorable birthday thanks to the wonderful team at the Royal Oak!

First of all … all the food was very very very delicious we ordered garlic naan, chana masala , pneer tikka all are very tasty 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋.. its my first experience at the royal oak but not the last .. from now its my permanent place where i always want to come again and again … specially Thanks to SIRI who deals everyone very politely and with happy face.. also thanks to staff RIYA and CHETNA .. very hardworking staff … they attend everone with positivity… thanks THE ROYAL OAK for serve delicious food … love it 🥰

We went here for my sister’s birthday and it was amazing. The staff were very friendly with quick service, especially Davinder!

Food and service was great. Ria and the rest of the serving team made our visit really nice.

Excellent food and service. Big screens for the sports and huge selection of beer choice. Went for the mixed grill to start and lamb special for main - both were delicious. Best mango chutney in Birmingham too! Highly recommend to visit.

Decent food, quite pricey though for a desi pub. Drinks too. Decent enough though.

Great Asian bar and grill. Lovely selection of food and drink on offer. Order at the bar and counter. Staff very friendly and the atmosphere for a Saturday evening was good. When the owner can be seen also seating guest, you know he is passionate and takes pride. Would recommend and visit again.

It was overall good especially the service given by Riya. One more thing didn't heard a single sidhu's song since was sitting there for an hour longer just do it next time I visit 😉🤜🏻🤛🏻

great experience, thanks to Riya for being super sweet.

Highly recommended Indian food restaurant. The food is exquisite and the service fast and efficient. The place is very well decorated and is very spacious and bright. I will definitely return if I am in the area.
