About This Pub
So, if you're looking for a solid spot for Indian food in Birmingham, StarValley really stands out as a top choice – it's part of this acclaimed group that's nailed the Punjabi scene in the Midlands. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is spot on; think mouth-watering starters, mains, and even vegan options that folks are raving about, with one review mentioning how it impressed a whole family on a Bank Holiday. The atmosphere is just right too – warm decor, a nice bar area for drinks and cocktails, and it's ideal for gatherings or just kicking back. The team there seem genuinely helpful, which adds to that homely feel. But, to keep it real, it's not all perfect; having to go up to the bar for orders might throw you off if you're expecting more traditional service, and there were a few mentions of flies, which could be a bit off-putting, especially in the summer. Still, with such high ratings and positive vibes overall, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go with an open mind and maybe plan around it.

Very, very impressed with this place. Came here a couple of weeks ago as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) on Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon. Not overly busy but had a nice atmosphere. We had came here for drinks and to watch the football, however, when we saw the food that others were having, we decided to stay for food.
We ordered:
Chicken Balti (hot)
Poppadoms
Cheeseburger and chips
Cheese naan
Chips
Chicken tikka wrap and chips.
All food was served fresh and very tasty!
Service was excellent and it was excellent value for money!!
We have recommended this place to friends and we will definitely be back 😊
Nice restaurant, good Indian food with a decent atmosphere. There is no server there and you have to the bar to order anything which is weird for a restaurant and there were too many flies there which was annoying.
Visited this location yesterday, Thursday 22nd May 2025, with my partner & nephews :) Amazing view, lovely team & delicious food from start to finish!! Definitely would recommend StarValley Bar & Restaurant to all my family & friends :)
We came here last weekend for a birthday meal with a large group of our family, all the staff and management were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and the decor was warm and inviting. The food was amazing, we had mixed grill starters and a variety of mains and sides - everything was delicious! The entire family enjoyed the evening. We would definitely come here again!
Came here with family and the atmosphere was wonderful. The decor inside is completely different and makes it stand out from other pubs. The staff were very attentive and looked after us a lot. Starters and mains were absolutely delicious. Drink were wonderful too, they even do cocktails so the ladies can choose from a selection of them. Very reasonably priced. Definitely recommended!!
