We had a takeaway, so can't really comment on the atmosphere. But, the size of the servings you get are pretty much bad. Hardly any chicken in the byriani, the amount of sauce you got for that was bad. And 2.50 for a small tray of chips is appalling.
Sorry, but won't be going there again.
We had a very good experience at this restaurant.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The medium mixed grill was full of flavour and made with high-quality ingredients.
The chili chips were cooked to perfection, definitely some of the best we've ever had.
The spacious dining area and parking options were a bonus.
Plus, they have a wide selection of beverages, including some unique options that impressed our friend.
This place is definitely a must-visit – it's earned a permanent spot on our list of favourite’s!
Next up we visited ‘The merry go round’ in West Brom.
Firstly loads of parking at the front and back of the venue on the car park.
We entered via the bar area and were directed to the restaurant area which is at the back.
Couple of different beers available at the front bar than the back, madri and Guinness, the bar lady said it was no problem to get them. All the usual suspects available, carling, coors and staropramen - no cobra though!
The venue has mostly booths, we were in the giant square by one of TV’s with the football on.
The food - we went for the following:
2x lollipop
1x large boneless mixed grill
1x merry grill
2x chilli chips
2x masala chips
2x chilli prawns
1x chilli cheese naan
1x garlic naan
1x keema naan
1x keema cheese naan
12 poppadoms
Vindaloo sauce
- 6 of us just about managed to finish it!
The mixy - large boneless was good, batter was light and crispy on the pakora, tikka was juicy, good flavour. Only downside was there was a lot of tikka. Sheesh was tasty.
The merry grill, at £24 priced OK, had some giant prawns on the top but only x2, same for the chops, only 2x which sometimes you get more of these items on the larger grills.
Fish pakora as above, wings were really small and mostly on the bottom so got cremated by the burnt onion and sizzling grill. Was expecting lollipop and chilli prawns on this grill but only large prawns, wings, sheesh, tikka and lamb chops.
Chicken lollipops were really good, covered in chilli and loads of meat.
Chilli prawns - really good, the sauce on them very tasty. Top end pricing at £10 for about 8 on a plate.
The naan breads - the garlic naan wasn’t the best very thin and turned into a crisp.
Now for the best bit - the keema cheese naan, amazing, loads of keema meat, basically it’s like a pizza, so so good, defo worth a visit here just for this.
Chips - very chunky good masala flavour and the chilli chips were crunchy.
Service was great, they let us put a tab on the bar which is unheard of in these places. Made things easier when buying beers.
Food was served in good time.
Would go back to the merry go round. Not up there with the red cow or champys but a good venue, good food and well worth a visit.
Great place for a well balanced fully flavoured curry. The mix grill Sizzlers are particularly mouthwatering. The curried minced lamb (keema) is my favourite. I think they do the best cheesy nan in the West Mids. Staff are friendly , the boothed seating in the restaurant area is comfortable and the huge screen is awesome if you have something to watch (sports etc). The manger even gave us the remote control for the TV so that we could view any YouTube videos that took our fancy. The social distancing was observed well and sanitising gel was provided (Covid guidelines). The draught beer was good but there was no bourbon whiskey. Good selection of Gin , vodka, and rum however.
