Soho Tavern West Bromwich — Restaurant in Sandwell

Soho oak - West Brom

This wasnt my first choice to go to as i felt id found the best in another establishment and the thought of going somewhere else not as good worries me. BUT how wrong was i to doubt it.

We arrived into a welcoming and very clean bar area to a polite young bar man who explained all tables were available unless they had reserved on. A quick drinks order and off we went to find a table.

We sat down at a 6 seater booth but found there was a slight draft coming from somewhere so we moved to a 4 seater booth

The food arrived in a good time and all meals arrived together which is a massive strong point. Nobody at the table was waiting for anything.

Soho grill - having agreed with a friend we would both order this and swap his lamb chops for my king prawns (both a personal favourite of eachothers) The chicken tikka meat melted in your mouth. Was proper tikka meat and lovely and juicy. Crispy wings - the best chicken wing iv ever tasted without a shadow of a doubt. Sheek kebab - packed a little punch just enough to give you that little tickle. Lamb chops - most indian grill establishments struggle to get these right. Not the soho oak. They top the table with these. Fish pakora - lovey crispy batter with a soft and fluffy filling. King prawns - another diners reviews - fresh, crisp and seasoned to perfection

Cheese and garlic naan bread - for the experienced readers of my reviews you will know i rate this very extensively. I will there was plenty garlic that didnt over power but the cheese pull was slightly disappointing.

Massala sauce - lovely and creamy to accompany a meal. I think one between two would be enough though due to both of us that ordered leaving over half.

Chilli chips and chilli cheese chips - what can i say about these. Not only are they the best chips iv had at an indian grill they are also the best chips iv ever tasted. Absolutely unreal taste to them. Im still dreaming about them now. The cheese pull to the sauce to the crunch to the potato. I can see why the menu states they are famous for these.

We had a lovely waitress that table checked us twice. (I think this is the first time this has ever happened)

The unlimited mint sauce/chilli sauce is also a massive strong point.

All in all a very good trip and the soho oak now takes the lead for slightly edging the builders arms.

It got to the point where i was actually trying to find a negative point it was that good. I dont think the price is that bad either especially not for that quality. We have visited others and spent more for a much worse experience.

Taking the rest home for the next day was also a winner. That food was way to good to throw away.

I most certainly will be back hopefully sooner rather than later.

Massive credit goes to the chefs, barstaff and also the...

Amazing Experience at Soho Tavern West Brom!

We recently visited Soho Tavern in West Bromwich with a large family group of 17 people, including someone in a wheelchair, and we were blown away by the experience! From start to finish, everything was exceptional.

First and foremost, I want to give a huge shoutout to Sunil and Nitesh, who went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was nothing short of perfect. Their service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Managing such a large group can’t be easy, but they made it seem effortless.

The accessibility was fantastic. We had someone in a wheelchair with us, and the team ensured they were comfortable throughout the evening, providing ample space and being mindful of every detail. It’s rare to find a restaurant that truly prioritizes accessibility, but Soho Tavern excelled in this aspect.

The food was, as always, absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared to perfection, and the variety on the menu meant there was something for everyone, even with our group’s different preferences and dietary needs. The flavors were authentic and vibrant, and the portions were generous.

What stood out even more than the food was the atmosphere. The staff made us feel like family, and the warm, welcoming vibe of the restaurant added to our wonderful evening. Sunil and Nitesh checked on us frequently, ensuring everyone was happy and satisfied. They truly went the extra mile to make the night special.

To anyone considering a visit, whether you’re dining as a couple or with a large group, I can’t recommend Soho Tavern enough. It’s rare to find a place that combines incredible food, outstanding service, and a genuine dedication to hospitality. Thank you, Sunil and Nitesh, for making our family outing so memorable—we’ll definitely be back soon!

If you’re looking for a place with top-tier service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and amazing food, Soho Tavern is the place to be. Five stars...

From the very first time we visited Soho Oak, Sunil made us feel completely at home — and that’s no small feat when dining out with a young child! What really stood out to us was how thoughtful and accommodating he was from the moment we arrived.

We came in a bit earlier than usual dinner hours to avoid the rush, and Sunil greeted us with a warm smile and immediately offered us a spacious, quiet corner table that was perfect for our little one. Without us even asking, he brought over a high chair, colouring sheets, and checked if we needed a bottle of water for our son — just a level of attentiveness that really goes a long way for parents.

What impressed us even more was how flexible the kitchen was under Sunil’s guidance. We asked if it was possible to adjust the spice levels in a few of the dishes, and not only was it no problem — Sunil even took the time to suggest some milder options that were still packed with flavour. The food came out absolutely delicious, with just the right balance so that all of us — including our toddler — could enjoy it together.

Since then, we’ve come back multiple times, and now Soho Oak has become our go-to spot for family meals. Every time, Sunil remembers us and our preferences, makes sure we’re seated comfortably, and checks in throughout the meal without being overbearing. There’s a genuine warmth in how he runs the front of house — it never feels like just “customer service,” it feels like being looked after.

For anyone with young kids or just looking for a relaxed, welcoming dining experience with amazing food, we honestly can’t recommend Sunil and Soho Oak enough. It’s rare to find that combination of excellent food and truly thoughtful service — and thanks to Sunil, we’ve found our regular place.

We’re also emailing the team directly to say thank you, because outstanding service like this truly deserves to be recognised. Thank you again, Sunil — we’re already looking forward to...
