The Shireland in Birmingham

If you are a Desi brown person you will hate the food, utterly tasteless. Ordered tarka dhal with saag paneer: how wrong could they get it! No garlic or onions no flavour, watery saag and over fried paneer. Food was saturated with thick layer of oil. Give it a miss. Threw all the food away as didn’t want to clog my arteries!

Amazing place. Was visiting just for a day, for basketball tournament, decided to come down for victory drinks and meal. Just wow… Food was so delicious and amazing portions for the value. Staff is very welcoming and make u feel at home. Highly recommended to visit if you are passing buy or staying in Birmingham. Thank you guys

A pleasure to relax with friends and ideal for watching the football great place too chill

Fantastic pub would especially recommend the fish pakora and masala chips. Great atmosphere too with a great interior.

I placed a big order of over £67. When the order came I only received 2 items out of the 14 items I originally ordered. I called to make a complaint but was ignored by both the restaurant and Just Eat. Im now running circles to recover my money back. No one is taking responsibility. I’m definitely not ordering from this restaurant again. The items that came too were very cold and didn’t taste nice. Just Eat app are not helping me to recover my money back. Not using the app too again

Lovely quiet place very friendly staff very cheap booze now gonna call it my local

Awesome food well cooked tasty and hot

Great food and staff couldn't do enough for us.

Food is great as always. Best curries around! Cannot fault the flavours and taste - authentic!

Only went for a drink but had a few meals there before and was excellent.

I have to leave a review for this pub as it’s our regular, honestly one of the best pubs I’ve been to… The service is 10/10 and the atmosphere is incredible, all staff are friendly and Sam is very attentive and makes sure you’re well catered for. I’d highly recommend the Shireland and would also say it’s suitable for families and any occasion. Thanks again x

Great place to watch the sport and have a very good curry. Staff and atmosphere very friendly

Was greeted as soon as I walked into the establishment and shown where to go for my food collection. The price was fair and competitive with other similar places. Proper Punjabi food. I ordered Bakra and rice. It wasn’t too spicy and it tasted great. I’ve just moved to the area so I will definitely be coming again!

Food was fresh and worth waiting for. Will definitely come back again, comes highly recommended.

Tried this place last night. Proper Punjabi/Desi food that was delicious, good portions, fast and friendly service. Great pint of Guinness or two to wash it down. Will be making this my regular. Don't take my word for it, give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

Bar staff and owner are top lads. Food is really good.

The food was amazing and great value for money. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Definitely recommend if you want a great Punjabi meal.

Brilliant food and service. Will definitely return and recommend.

Amazing chef the food is the best in brum. All day long best desi pub in town

Awful place. EDIT: Apparently I am 'fake' & have never been to this pub. Here's a photo I took as I left the dump - so at the very least the reader knows the proprietor is a liar.

Cold not for woman more man's pub. Stopped serving food by nine o clock.

A good clean place to have proper desi grub and a good set of beers/spirits around Smethwick. Live football with multiple screens and ample parking available Lot of seating options for small and large group of people I have had my best curries from this place.

Staff and punters are really greeting. Food is great and the veg in my curry was really fresh. Great variety of premium beer and prices are good. Great sports bar and loads of screens. Walk in before making any judgements, would recommend.

Decent pub. Good value food and drink

Wss there last week and the food was amazing. And the staff were very pleasant. Definitely recommend it . And we will be back agian

Great curry you won't find better.

I've used this bar frequently for about 10 years great little boozer not many left

I loved this place. Terrific curries (I had the chicken tikka masala, my brother in law a lamb rogan josh). We both agreed it was the best curry we'd had in a very long time, and I've been to some fancy and famous high price places. This was so reasonably priced and beat those other ones hands down. Oh and the crispy wings are to die for! The staff were brilliant too, so friendly. And I liked the way you're eating in a relaxed pub atmosphere, no fancy frills, just sheer quality and great value. Go there if you can, you won't regret it.

Just ate here with my brother-in-law. We both agreed the food was up there with the best curries we've ever had. Simple, no nonsense presentation, friendly staff, stonkingly good food. Wish this place was closer to my home. I'd be here all the time.

We have visited 1st at this place for quick drink and some food after long day at work, food was sizzling served but was not to made for Punjabis, less salt and spices In every bit on the shirelend grill, however person who served was lovely man and he said when you come next time speek to me and I will make the way you want otherwise all good.

Great fit out with good food and great choice of beers

Amazing place, everyone is friendly, best curry I've had in years, maybe the best I've ever had, if you're looking for a place to relax, have a drink and enjoy a good portioned, good quality meal, this is your spot 👍

Brilliant food great friendly people,I highly recommend this place

Is ok but I don't like it to much I was there to play some billiards and the guy from the bar push you to have many drinks he push you to buy many drinks which is not nice ...

Disgusting accommodation not as advertised.

Food on point as always, prompt and friendly service.

Excellent place. They cater for the individual

Been to many of these bar & grills. This one is at the top for food,absolutely beautiful & they make you feel welcome Keep it up guys,il be back

First of all I came from all the way from London to try the mix grill. I have to to say it was 10 out of 10. The customer service was amazing the food was on point I cannot fault it. My freinds recommended this place and they were right it was well worth the money and travel. Any one who doesn't live in Birmingham all I got to say this was the best mix grill in Birmingham!. I cant wait to go back , feeling hungry just thinking about it.👍

The staff here are second to none. Nothing is too much, and the food is fantastic 😋

First gathering with colleagues for over 15 months, dined underneath a shelter in the rear yard which although cold temperature, biting wind and hail was compensated for by excellent service and delicious food by the team at the Shireland. This was my first visit on recommendation of our colleague Ranjit and we were not disappointed. Starting with the Shirelands mixed grill and fish pakoras between the 5 of us as a starter, then moving onto mains of prawn bhuna, chicken korma (quite spicy) lamb rogan josh, plain rice and naan and roti, we all praised the tasty and plentiful food. All staff members who served us were friendly and welcoming. Will certainly be returning.

The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted it was yum Absolutely the best meal we had while.Highly recommend!

Have been to this Pub many times! Food and the atmosphere is lovely! A proper pub with a wide selection of drinks and amazing food. I’ve been ordering my weekly takeaway during lockdown, and it’s been just as great. Definitely recommend to anyone who fancies an indian the right way! Not Over done nor Underdone just perfect ☺️Happy Customer Happy Tummy.

What can i say ordered food from the Shireland bar and grill and it was what i was looking forward to my mix veg curry and a nice mix grill for my husband and daughter. Loved the garlic naans. Will 100% order again 🔥🍗🥘🔥

Since lockdown started, we were looking for a restaurant to rely for good and tasty delivery. At start we were unsure, but we gave it a go. Delivery gentleman very polite. Food hot, considering the 7 mile travel distance. Food was very tasty, portions were big enough. As an example of the portion, consider that when you buy a Chicken Tika Masala you are searching for chicken pieces, NOT IN THIS PLACE. Enough chicken pieces to fill you up, and great taste. Chicken Tika Masala for once gave you the sense of a dish not a desert (in many places it is so sweet that feels like desert not a dish). WE WERE THAT HAPPY that for sure we will be re-ordering and re-order and re-order.... Tasty food with normal pricing for the portion of food offered. See you again

The owners/chefs are great. The place is lovely. The food is top notch. Thank you!

Easy way to chill and watch the football

Brilliant food and hospitality ! thx

Great tasting Punjabi food and freshly cooked so worth the wait. Crispy chicken wings are a great starter as are the mixed grills. Had Keema, Lamb balti and Prawn curry all as good as home cooked. Naans were properly cooked in a tandoor delicious and not soggy. Great friendly staff and service and worth the money.

Extremely good food. No need to go to any other Indian restaurant that thinks it's posh! This beats it hands down!

Good little pub with a good range of beers and freshly prepared Indian/Desi Punjabi style food and worth the wait. Take away or eat in.

Ordered food for me and my children. I have a regular curry house closer that i could have chose but the wait time was an hour. So i looked for something that could deliver quicker. Delivery time was marked as 30/40minutes. TWO HOURS LATER the food arrives. Some of it isn’t even warm let alone hot! I made numerous calls to the pub whilst waiting and was told the food was close by which turned out not to be the case. Very disappointed

Fantastic food and service as ever.little bit of a wait but only because it's cooked fresh to order. Mixed grill starter consistanty a winner well worth going out your way to try but bring a jumper we find it a bit cold in the seating areas.

The food is amazing, the prices convenient, the place socially lively.

Great food cooked fresh and good service top

Great atmosphere freindly staff loys of food options bar and grill couldnt recommend this place enough a hidden little gem

Good food, good people. Spence is there!!

Excellent food and great service definitely go back Again

EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE COMPETITIVE PRICES WELL WORTH A VISIT

Your normal cosy pub with good seating. The Indian food I tried here was delicious!

Lovely food and atmosphere good big portion for not too much money. Great to go out with kids for a dinner and cold beer 😉Kids menu available,staff very nice, I will definitely come back there! 5*

Excellent night out Food, drink and environment superb

Beautiful hospitality and amazing 10/10 food I'm a jatt and I loved it

only decent grill pub with pool tables and very well priced alcohol in the area.

Good quality well cooked food. Nice atmosphere and made to feel very welcome by the staff. Recommended + and will be back very soon

Good grilled meats, chicken tikka wrap and butter chicken for a decent price

Excellent curry. Friendly staff.

Good place for a quick bite to eat and a drink

Food was delicious. Really loved the crispy, chicken wings. Staff were so friendly and kind. Will definitely be going back again :)

Nice pub a bit out the way but nice

Went with a few work colleagues Friday night and ordered the chicken tikka and paneer curries with the garlic, cheese and keema naans. The food all came under 35pounds and we couldn’t even finish all the food haha. Large quantity portions and delicious Indian food, absolutely recommend!

This pub is a very cosy environment. At my table, I had a great view from one of the tvs to watch the Liverpool match. The owners were very kind and there was a good waiter who came up to me and asked if I was alright and needed anything else. This pub is a calm and friendly place to go to.

Great place great staff must try it

It’s so dark and dirty no heating was going to order but left it when I seen chef overall more oil the walls and all these reviews must be there friends all had 1st reviews

Great sports bar, lovely food.

Had Numerous Meals and Takeaways from the Shireland Always Been Very Very Good, Ordered A Takeaway This Evening How I Wish I Hadnt Lamb Chops Dry & Chewy...Chips Soggy, Chicken Korma Strange Taste Sadly Not Of Korma, Rogan Josh Swimming in Oil Very Bland Almost No Taste......

We meet here every xmas. Friendy staff and great food. Has a pool table too and live sports channels

Elegantly decorated very quiet pub.

I visited last night with colleagues and had an excellent evening with the most delicious food. The staff were attentive and accommodating, looking after us throughout. The poppodoms, mixed grills and mains we had were all delicious and we are already talking about when we can come back next. Definitely worth a visit. Perfect with a pink gin!

Friendly service, friendly people. There were family friendly booths so that we could enjoy our family meal

Impeccable from start to finish. An experience I’d recommend on. The service was flawless and the food from our starters to the mains were to die for. The Management and Staff were knowledgeable and the beverage selection is absolutely beautiful. Myself and Colleagues were impressed with the warm atmosphere and the attention to detail. Thanks for a wonderful night. Will be returning no doubt.

Wonderful experience at The Shireland Inn for a very special birthday. The food was incredible and the service was faultless. Special really is the word to describe our experience - thank you so much!

Its changed ownership again i beleive.. use to be my local .. food has deteriorated a bit. Earlier it had brilliant food. Not impressed with it now.

We visited as a family (2 adults and 2 children) and ordered some drinks and food. My 3-year old son has got ‘autism’ and the owner (he claimed he was) was extremely rude and unprofessional when he came to us and made a huge fuss about my son dropping some chips in the floor and making a mess. I said we are sorry, explained to him about my son’s condition and that children with autism can drop food on the floor, to which his response was ‘having autism doesn’t mean he should drop food on the floor’. We didn’t feel welcome at all and felt humiliated by his behaviour, demeanour, tone and body language. He didn’t even seem to understand even after I explained the situation and we left the place immediately without having any food and not wanting to stay there even one extra minute.

This used to be the best bar and grill pub in the area but since the change of management it is now possibly one of the worst.

The food and service was excellent the staff were very friendly and always checking to ensure that the food was good. It has a good atmosphere with a warm feeling

Great pub with massive screens for the football. Food - I will not need to eat again for a week it was great.

a peaceful place for a good curry& drink

Very good place. Beer , pool , football.

One of the better mix grill pubs as it doesn't get too crowded ..Food is great and there are many decent drinks on tap. Recently had a change in management but still decent ..

Los precios son fabulosos, tuvimos parrillada mixta, pan hombre y 3 bebidas por menos de 16. Fue más que suficiente para nosotros. Los propietarios son muy amables y verificaron que estuviéramos bien y genuinamente interesados ​​en los comentarios. La comida es deliciosa sin ser demasiado picante. Me gustan las botellas squeezy para la salsa. Las tablas se mantuvieron limpias. Los locales fueron muy acogedores. Yo recomendaría y estaré de vuelta

Top place great food friendly atmosphere

Was greeted by very friendly staff and excellent service. Food was cooked excellently, I really enjoyed it. Will definitely visit frequently.

Me and my workmates went to shireland last night and were very impressed with the food ,we ordered couple of mixed grills and chicken was exellent(slight complaint maybe needed fish pakora on mixed grill) and also 4 curries and naans which i add were excellent,normally we leave some food but all this was eaten!!!,The guy brought food over for us in a friendly manor,beer was exellent(staropramen !!).so if you want great food,a decent pint and friendly atmosphere GO to the shireland,we will certainly go back again, 5 stars all round for the shireland

We had heard good reviews about this place so decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon.

Brilliant service and even more impressive food!!! Couldn’t recommend anywhere else other than The Shireland Inn

I can’t stress how amazing the food was... from the lamb chops down to the chicken wings!! The service was brilliant along with their wide range of alcoholic beverages including some very exclusive vodkas

Good food good drink and you can watch football

From London, visiting B'ham to drop off daughter for the weekend. Decided to explore real B'ham where the real curry can be found. By pot luck, we found this pub and not, when we walked in it was deja vu back to 1960s with a healthy family-originated atmosphere. Friendly staff and ordered curry - boy! That was the BEST we have tasted (even better than top curry houses in London). You couldn't be disappointed. Very good value too. We left praised the staff & chefs as we were blown away how good it was. Ok the streets need cleaning but you won't be disappointed with Shireland. As Arnold said, I'll be back!

Very indian food, good price, in a clean Place, not in città centerbe, but for a dinner with Friends in a pub, i think is a good Place.
