The Taste Of Home in Walsall

Nice place for an afternoon tipple by the water.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing service and tasty cocktails made by Sophie .. Will be back ! 😀🍸🍹

Was having a great night at this venue, I think they did an amazing job at having a charity night for (BHS) British heart foundation, I’m all for that, however I was un impressed by the staff who threatened to remove us from the venue for turning the outside music up a little, as this boosted the atmosphere and ultimately our group was purchasing more drinks, I was then confronted by the licensee. this really put a downer on the night in my opinion, as he stated that they can’t have loud music on outside as the local neighbours witch is understandable, but I wouldn’t have music on at all if it caused an Issue, personally won’t be attending again spent a lot of money at the venue just to be treated like crap really. Very poor and venue had next to no customers in on a Friday night. Wouldn’t recommend as staff are very poorly trained but of embarrassment to the company.

Pulled off the motorway to meet friends on a journey back home. The staff were friendly and helpful, the place was clean and tidy.

Thought we would try this place tonight being as a poster is outside saying that it had won an award. The missus had her usual meal that she has from every Indian restaurant we ever try , which was Mixed veg biriyani , tarka dhal side dish and this time had a peshawari naan. She said the biriyani didn't seem like it used fresh vegetables and tasted like everything had come out of a tin and had been microwaved. The tarka dhal was the worst. Now when I've seen her have this before , it has been jam packed with lentils and garlic slices in a thick sauce with usually a layer of oil on the top where it has settled. The one from here was watery , had really no lentils or garlic in it and was just watery. She said the whole meal was bland and tasteless , but did seem peppery Now , I had mushroom rice , which seemed ok and a chicken rogan josh , which had tomatoes in it , which it should , but something in the curry had a vinegary taste , so not nice. The keema naan didn't seem to have an meat in it , as I could see , as usually from other Indian restaurants we have used , they sell keema naans that have a bright red keema meat in them. The yoghurt mint dip we were given to accompany the poppadoms , looked grey instead of creamy green , so much so , that my other half didn't even eat it ( I'll reserve my judgement yet , as I havent tried it yet). The restaurant has good decor , but being as it is in Bentley , the area isn't a good one and the site where it is , isn't the best , having two burnt out retail units nearby. Anyhow , not the worst curry , but not the best we have had , so much so , that i don't think we will have a return visit here.
