Splendid food and Lovely environment! The menu offers a fantastic selection of dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. I have tried multiple dishes...(some of my favorites being- chilli fish, chicken biryani, and tikki chaat, and it was cooked to perfection. The veg options are equally impressive as the chicken and fish ones and the desserts are a treat too! Every bite was bursting with flavor, making it clear that the chefs put great care into their art. The bar has various drinks to choose from like any other bar in the UK. They also have some offers going on every now and then. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and stylish. Whether you're here for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a casual night out with friends, the warm lighting, tasteful decor, and soothing background music create a welcoming and relaxing environment. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. The entire team was friendly and professional, enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, a charming atmosphere with live sports broadcast, this is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

The moment you enter, you would find this restaurant as good as any other traditional with an old heritage. The owner is very sweet and humble. The waiters are kind and they suggest according to your palette. Extremely neat and has a very soothing ambience. It has TVs which play sports, music etc, that make the best place to visit with your friends to enjoy the game with remarkable indian dishes and beer! Honestly, I visited many indian restrictions in the UK, but none came as close to this one. It has that authentic indian taste and tops in quality and quantity at a very reasonable price. I come here every time I visit Birmingham. So, if you want an Indian spicy twist, with great taste and fancy ambiance but of course not bending too much on the budget, this restaurant definitely tops your list! I suggest you must taste the biryani, the platter for starters, the chicken/meat currys with garlic Naan.

Food was acceptable and pretty cheap, mainly Indian food on the menu but plenty of other choices. This is a pub setup so you order drinks at the bar and food at the kitchen. There were plenty of reserved tables but all for hours later so no problem there. Would consider visiting again as it was not too busy or lod unlike the other local venues.

A great experience for a family of 10 birthday meal. Food was amazing we all had various currys, rice, Naan, and chips. Drinks and cocktails very good value. Got to say the food was amazing all that was left from any of us was half a bowl of rice. One negative the chips were slightly cold but that was minor considering it was very busy Saturday night. The staff were very attentive and seen to all our needs. Especially Harps who managed to look after us all night including turning the footy on for us on tv nearest to us as everyone had rugby on. Thank you all at the soak and from my mom who's birthday it was and her 1st experience with you and definitely not her last x

Visitamos como una familia de tres personas dejando a nuestro hijo en la universidad. Sugirió que probáramos The Soak para el almuerzo. Nunca había estado, pero era el único pub cercano que sabía que servía comida. El menú es principalmente curry / indio. Muchas opciones vegetarianas también. Todo estaba muy fresco y sabroso, y cocinado a la perfección. Servicio muy rápido, también, y cuesta menos de lo que pagamos de nuestra comida local para llevar. Definitivamente, nos acostumbraremos a volver cada vez que lo visitemos a partir de ahora. Perfecto!

Bought masala fries just to basically get peri salted fries? Surely that’s not masala chips. False advertising. Onion bhajis were borderline burnt and bright red in the inside???? My fellow Asians, do not look to this place for your curry fix, as it is only catered to the white man’s delicate palate.

Passed this place loads of times. Looked at the prices in the window. Very reasonable. Some English food but mainly Indian food currys mixed grill etc. Curry rice and naan bread set me back £14ish. I went with the keema curry, peshawari naan and fried rice. I'm not joking that curry and naan was amazing. Both were my go together combo and it was just the way it should be. Well impressed. That good I went back the next day but went with a different curry and it was well tasty. Told some other work mates and they came too. We are in Selly oak alot I think this will be out new go to place. It's nice to find a all round place on venue food and price.

Would recommend avoiding the chicken tikka masala and butter chicken dishes! It was so terribly sweet and I felt like I was having dessert! I’m the type of person who hates creating any sort of hassle as I know how stressful working in the kitchen can be, however the usual etiquette is that if the customer finds the food unpleasant, the kitchen offers some sympathy/ remakes it. Staff and management got involved to tell me that apparently I, as a person of Indian origin, do not know what ‘butter chicken’ or ‘chicken tikka masala’ should taste like? They said they cannot remake the food and this is how it is. My British friend also disliked it and found it too sweet for her taste, so I’m really not sure who they are catering to here… I understand that mild curries are less spicy however that doesn’t mean you add a ton of sugar or cream! I had a few bites and left due to the unbearably weird taste… It’s a shame as the rest of their dishes are alright… however after this experience I can’t say that I’ll be going back anytime soon.

Dear Soak Team, I recently visited your restaurant on my birthday, May 19th, to satisfy my craving for Indian cuisine. I want to commend you on the food, especially the chicken tikka biryani, which was absolutely delicious. My compliments to the chef for their excellent work! However, I did encounter a few issues with the service that I hope you can address. When my food was served, there was no extra cutlery or napkins provided. This was a bit inconvenient, and I couldn't find any staff on the floor to assist me. I understand that the hospitality industry can be challenging, but a bit more attention to customer engagement and surroundings would greatly enhance the dining experience. I appreciate your efforts and look forward to visiting again. Thank you Best regards, Sourav♥️

Excellent service from all members of staff. Very attentive, able to meet all our demands when ordering food etc ,with such a large group of 20 people. We booked for a party of 24 people to celebrate my sons 24th birthday & my daughters 22nd birthday (their bdays are just days apart). Excellent atmosphere,big TV screens,not too noisy, comfortable seating. Loved the fact that a member of staff came to introduce herself and advised, if we required anything she would be at hand to meet our needs,you wouldn't normally get that service in a busy pub !!! Clean,comfy seating, easy accessible toilets downstairs and upstairs, which I must say we're clean considering it's a pub. Really accommodating to our needs,even stored our large 14 x14 fresh cream birthday cake in their fridges until we needed it(supplied plates,spoons & napkins)I had brought my own as not every place supplies this, but it was very nice they had already sorted this out for me. Definitely recommend choosing the Soak & Bar Grill for small celebtions or for having a party. Easily accessible for all the students as they could walk back to their accommodation and not worry about having to drink and drive,ideal location. Excellent end to our childrens University life at Bham University. Excellent food, mainly ordered large meat mixed grills & large vegetarian mixed grills with naans and lots of drinks. Thank you :)

Indisciplined and intolerant restaurant. On 18th Feb, I visited The Soak Bar and Grill with friends and family. We ordered Burger for my son and friend. Menu doesn't call out Beef as ingredient anywhere on the menu. The Soak Bar and Grill is not following gov norms to call out ingredients either below or just next to food being ordered. I been to Singapore multiple times. Restaurants does check if we are confirmable having beer and highlights articles made of Chicken/beef/pork. The Soak Bar and Grill is calling out chicken, lamb and anything but not beef. This restaurant is a shame. On registering reservations to beef and requesting chicken burger, they charged to pay for Chicken Burger additionally. While I went to pay, they were whispering and passing comments. I will never recommend THE SOAK BAR AND GRILL to anyone in my life.

The Soak is back. They boast a fantastic selection of beers, ciders, and spirits. Plus, their pub food game is strong, with classics like curries, burgers, and wraps. We dove into their chicken curry with naan and chips. While the overall portion size was good, I would have loved a bit more sauce to truly soak up with the naan bread. And the best part? The prices! Compared to other pubs in the area, The Soak offers incredible value for money. That makes it a perfect spot for a casual meal with friends.

Terrible service at Soak today. I think the staff taking orders at the till needs to apply a bit of common sense and customer service. I queued and got to the front and was just taking a few seconds to decide my naan order - the lady then forced me to move to the back of queue - with a large group of 10 people being one of the groups who were waiting to order . Does this even make sense ? Like why can’t I be given just a few seconds instead of making me queue behind 15 + people when I already queued to get to the front. It’s just abysmal customer service without any logic. After all my frequent visit to The Soak , this treatment is just extremely unacceptable. Tried to contact them privately but like a lot of businesses in Selly they don’t really care about feedback so it’s compelled me to leave this review .

Due to a last minute cancellation of a trip away, we were at home for Christmas Day and wanted somewhere nice (and different) for Christmas dinner. I did a recce of many other places and they were either shut, fully booked and/or charging stupid prices (£90+) just because it was Christmas Day. I enquired at the Soak, who said that they were open and had the usual menu AND prices. We went at 1.00pm (booked a table), but it was fairly quiet. It filled up as time went on. The ambience and decor were all very nice and quality/tasteful. ALL staff were very welcoming, polite and kind. Menu had a great range of choice at various prices, which were all very reasonable. We had Lamb Biryani with curry sauce, Lamb Khadai, Garlic Naan and Chilli Naan. We had Madka Kulfi for dessert. Food was very fresh and tasty and portions were generous. We were even given 2 x Christmas Crackers to get in the festive spirit. We definitely intend going there again and will let friends know about it. NB - your order is not taken at the table and you order it at the hatch at the far end. Drinks are ordered at the bar.

The S'oak was formerly a Greene King Student Bar and was 'OK' if a little pricey for Students in comparison to it's neighbouring 'OVT' which is a Wetherspoons pub with particularly slow service. The S'oak is now a family-run Indian / Asian Fusion Grill (and Bar) with an open-view Kitchen. The quality and quantity of food is absolutely second to none; we generally go to an Indian Restaurant weekly but have found ourselves returning to The S'oak twice each week; really using any excuse! The Lamb and Chicken are both exquisite; beautifully tender with richly flavoured (Desi / Homestyle) sauces. The speed of service is astonishing; everything is clearly prepared from scratch but you can expect your main course to arrive within 10-15 minutes of ordering even when the venue is 95% full! And the price... well, I think it's safe to say it's probably cheaper to eat there than buy supermarket pre-prepared food or make it from scratch yourself; it really is EXCELLENT value! For us, the best Indian in Selly Oak, Harborne, Quinton and Stirchley! AWESOME!

Had a really good lunch here midweek and couldn’t fault the Soak for menu choice or food quality. Plenty of Indian food to choose from and the Chicken Bhuna, Chicken Saag and Pilau rice were very tasty and were spiced as ordered (choice of mild, medium and hot). The Chicken Tikka wrap was also well recommended by my daughter. The fact you can order at the food counter and get a drink from the bar as you go back to your seat were all pluses to save time waiting to be served,

Be careful. Medium is spicy! 🌶️ Have visited a few times now, tried a few of the Indian dishes which are tasty and decent portion for the price. Simple chips. Garlic naan thin but tasty (family complained I smelt of garlic for 48hrs). Fish pakora was a little bland but everything else we’ve tried was good. Friendly and efficient service. Clean establishment. Better than I expected. Music a bit loud for relaxed eating and conversation.

I went into the store as a Valentino bag I had purchased after a couple of months the two straps had broken. I contacted Valentino but the bag I had bought was from an Italian outlet and after several emails I was getting no where !!!! I went into the House of Fraser in Sutton Coldfield and was told they are only an outlet for the handbags and because I had it over 6 months they couldn’t do anything either. I had paid £90 for the bag which I was unable to use and was very upset. I again went into the House of Fraser and spoke to the store manager Emma and explained my situation and after a long conversation she allowed me to exchange my bag for another one.Thank you so much Emma for your great Customer Service and allowing me to get a handbag I could use.

La Iglesia se encuentra en Great Hampton Street, en el barrio de las joyas de Birmingham. Está a pocos pasos de la parada de tranvía de la calle Paul. Pasé a tomar un par de copas y algo de comer después de visitar el cercano Museo Pen. Había una buena selección de cerveza disponible y me gustó mucho la coliflor bhajis, aunque fueron un poco lentos en llegar. El servicio era amable y los precios razonables también.

The main issue, is the service from front of staff on a Friday, as this is the day i generally visit. You can stand waiting to be acknowledged for over a minute while they continue doing what they are doing before they have look up and ask you what you want. Food is generally very good apart from the bacon, in the bee fast which always appears it’s been cooked on a dirty plate After three visits having the same poor service I will not be visiting this establishment again.

A spacious and lovely place with great food and affordable prices, but the service is very slow. The staff are really nice and friendly.
