About This Pub
Ah, The Indian SmokeHouse Bar & Grill – it's one of those places that really warms your cockles on a chilly evening in West Bromwich. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the food is where it truly excels; imagine tucking into a chicken tikka that's tender and packed with that perfect punch of spice and creaminess – it's no wonder people are raving about it and planning their next visit. The staff add to the charm, being so welcoming and attentive that you'll feel like you're catching up with pals rather than just grabbing a meal. They've got a solid menu with options for all tastes, whether you're after a hearty curry or something lighter like a wrap. On the flip side, though, the naan bread hasn't impressed everyone, and the hatch ordering might not suit those who prefer a more traditional sit-down service. Overall, it's a solid choice for a night out, with that high rating suggesting it's doing most things right, but it's always good to go in with eyes open to those little areas for improvement. If you're in the area, I'd say give it a go – you might just find your new favourite haunt!
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The food is absolutely spot on – reviewers rave about the flavours, especially the chicken tikka curry and grills, which are tender, spicy, and just the right balance of creamy goodness.
-
The staff are incredibly welcoming and polite; it's like popping in to see old mates, with top-notch service that makes you feel right at home.
-
It's under new management and they've got a great variety on the menu, from curries and balti to burgers and wraps, so there's something for everyone.
-
The place has a lively atmosphere, perfect for a casual night out, and it's easy to get a table without much fuss.
Cons
-
One downside is that the naan bread didn't quite hit the mark for some, coming across as a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal.
-
The ordering system at the hatch might feel a tad informal for those expecting full table service, though it does keep things moving quickly.

Food was absolutely amazing!!!! The owner, Chaz, was very polite, warm and welcoming. Our group were well looked after and we had some food like we had never tasted before.Flavours were mind blowing. Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back soon.
Thought we would give this place a try as someone recommended it... you need to order at the hatch, which was not a problem. Food came out reasonable fast. I was not much for the nann bread, but my chicken tikka massala was better than I expected.
This Indian smokehouse bar and grill is a fantastic find!
The Chicken Tikka Curry (medium spice) was undoubtedly the star of the show. It's honestly one of the best I've tasted. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the curry itself had a perfect balance of spice and creaminess. It wasn't overpowering but had a kick.
The Masala Chips were crispy and perfectly seasoned with a vibrant blend of Indian spices, they were incredibly addictive. And to soak up all that delicious sauce?
The Garlic Naan was the perfect companion. It was soft, fluffy, and generously coated with garlic, a truly tasty addition to the meal.
While I've mentioned the Chicken Tikka Curry, I also had a taste of the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was equally impressive. They know their way around Chicken Tikka!
Overall, this place is a winner. The food is delicious, I highly recommend checking out this Indian smokehouse.
