Keg & Grill — Restaurant in Birmingham

We were attending a gig at the O2 academy and wanted somewhere to grab a beer and a bite to eat before the doors opened and so after looking at plenty of reviews we booked here and I am so glad we did.

The Keg & Grill is situated so conveniently for the O2 (5min walk if that!) and is right next door to the Alexandra Theatre.

Firstly, it's a really smart city centre bar, sport on the box (if that floats your boat) loads of beers on draft and really attentive staff.

Most importantly the food is amazing, think pub grub but with authentic curries, the menu is not huge but that doesn't mean it lacks choice, it is a curry restaurant and doesn't try and to pretend otherwise and it was amazing.

We shared a Paneer Tikka starter which was beautifully cooked and flavoured, served with peppers and onions (kebab style) served with dips.

Mains were Punjabi Lamb and Bhindi Dupiaza which, the portions were really good, not too big and wasteful but certainly enough for two goes!

We asked for medium spiced and they were spot on with the spice levels, the staff were keen to make sure that it was cooked to our taste and followed up to make sure we were happy.

Our sides were Masala Chips and Pilau Rice, both excellent twists on curry house staples, really tasty, well cooked and generous portions.

We have 2 beers each and came way with a bill for £65 which in the middle of a city centre I thought was really good.

The staff were lovely, the place is really nice, I can't speak highly enough of our experience, if you're on a night out in that part of town or indeed want somewhere new for a few beers and a curry you can't go wrong here, bang in the middle of the city, loads of parking nearby and the train station is a 2 min walk...

Large family group of us 18 in total came in for a meal,member of our group phoned & booked a table so they were aware of how many of us there was.Looks nice from the outside but the inside is like an old knackered pub with a snooker table & TV's showing sports.We arrived at 8pm but our main course did not arrive until 10pm yet people came in after us & were served.My mum wanted a plain chicken breast which was pre ordered yet did not appear.The chef did not seem to understand what a plain chicken breast was!.A male staff member that worked there was run ragged up & down the stairs with food when it finally appeared 1 dish at a time with gaps in between each person receiving their meal,I did offer to help.....Shocking service really as there was only 1 chef working & although we did get numerous apologies & 15% off the bill I would not recommend this place.Came all the way from NZ for a curry which was nice but service let it down & some family members said their food wasn't the greatest.This place was recommended to us as well but it was...

Last night (Saturday 23/04/22) a party of us made up of 15 adults and 6 children arrived for a pre-booked birthday celebration meal at the Keg & Grill. I'll say straightaway that I was nervous because I don't eat Indian food, nor anything spicy at all (the spiciest food I've ever had is the standard KFC). One of the staff suggested that I have a mild Chicken Korma and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it.

Right from the moment we walked in, all the staff were very friendly, warm, welcoming and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for them and everything was done in a friendly and efficient manner. As mentioned above, I'm no expert on Indian food but a lot of our family are and everyone was well impressed with the quality and the quantity of the food presented to us. The selection of beers was great, the London Pride being on top form.

To summarise, excellent food, excellent staff, excellent experience, and all at very reasonable prices. Our family are all pleased to highly recommend the...
