The Yew Tree - West Bromwich — Restaurant in Sandwell

June 2025 Update. Not been for a while put last night I came back with a few friends, when we first walked in I thought it was a little strange that there wasn't many people in there but I put it down to the weather being hot.

It looks like they've had a change around in staff and the girl who served us had very little English and was struggling to understand what we were ordering.

I understand that people need to be trained, but she shouldn't have been left on her own, somebody should have been with her helping.

There was a long delay before the food came out even though there was only four 6 people in the restaurant. They brought the naan breads and chips first, I'm by the time they brought the curry out, the number of and chips were called. Two of our group had chicken tikka masala, both said it was the worst chicken tikka masala they've ever had it was very runny with no flavour.

We shared a family mixed grill and the food was dry, the fish pakora was hard and the naan bread were burnt.

One of the staff was very rude when we told them the chips and naan bread had gone cold while waiting for the curries, and all she replied was "ok".

We also heard other people complaining about the food and two other people were waiting for the manager.

I will not be coming back for a long time.

Friendly staff, nice food, reasonably priced, always making sure that you have everything you need, very clean and constantly wiping...

This place used to be amazing and used to be our local. But on our last visit today we were utterly disappointed. We ordered about £70 worth of food which we have ordered many times before. The butter chicken portion size was like a children’s size full of sauce and about 4 pieces of chicken. We ordered 3 portions of chilli chips which arrived 15 mins after our other food arrived. Bonus! It arrived hot…… but raw. The chips were still hard and under cooked and tasted like they were a few days old. The Yew Tree Family Grill was also a let down. The grill didn’t come sizzling and the onions were under cooked. The amount of meat on the grill for £19.50 was disappointing including 2 small sorry looking lamb chops and 4 half coated prawns . No salad was given and for 6 people only one portion of small sauces. I don’t think I will be retuning again unless I was kidnapped, slapped and...
