As always a great atmosphere and one of the few places that serves neckoil. The food is brilliant but, portion sizes are ridiculously small and very overly priced too.

Found this place when researching top spots in Birmingham. It was perfect! The owner was welcoming and answered all of our questions. We enjoyed the the large mixed grill (three of us) and despite being rather full, ordered the Butter Chicken and Naan. We even chatted with a local who stopped to say hello. Great time. If you have a chance to dine here, you must!

Food excellent. Beer very nice but limited choice. It was mid afternoon mid week so we were in the bar with few other groups, would have been cosy with the right background music, but multiple big screens and sports punditry was intrusive.

The overall experience was fantastic. The food was ordered and it arrived freshly made so quick. We are talking a professional dining experience here with home cooked traditional recipes brought to the public. The place has a relaxed pub vibe which to me adds to the whole experience and value for money, I think so. We couldn’t finish all our food but for what you pay with drinks so totally worth it. Staff are amazing. I loved every single thing about this place

We were here on a quiet Sunday afternoon so service was prety quick. The food is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We each had starters and mains and everything was delicious. I had the chicken madras which was to die for - I usually order a madras when I visit an Indian restaurant which I've never been to before and it was excellent with a lovely blend of heat and spice. Next time (and there WILL BE MANY more next times!!!) I'll up my heat level a notch or two as this was truly fantastic!

Wonderful service and food. It was my first time at a restaurant like this as an American. They were all gracious hosts and helped me select a wonderful meal to try a variety of things. The people at the pub were very friendly as well and I had lovely conversations there. All in all a superb time!!

First time visiting H&C and it was a great experience. Staff were friendly, food was a delight, bar service was quick, ordering food was easy (I've never seen a menu where you tick what you want!). Venue was clean throughout and a great social setting to sit and have a chat over food.

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the H&C. We walked off the street into a bar with every table full of cheerful looking diners. The welcome was warm and we were shown to a table at the rear of the pub. A nice, chatty atmosphere - neither too noisy nor too loud. Fast service and the food was terrific. Excellent butter chicken. Spicy jalfrezi. Light and fluffy naan. Very good quality. Some nice local beers too - I tried the Pure Helles lager - brewed in Warwickshire. Will definitely return. Super venue.

Seating is my first issue here, although it all goes well and adds character to the decor but, sitting on stools for more than 20 minutes becomes very uncomfortable, never mind 2 hours. On to the FOOD: It’s one of the best for me the mixed grills, curry’s and naan’s are perfect and great flavour too. For me based on food and selection of drinks sits in top place in the midlands. It would be nice to see tikka options for the curry’s and maybe chilli chips too as, one diner was a little surprised to not see them on the menu. I did hear some customers mention the prices but, I think it justifies it with great food. A great selection of beers though and spirits too. It only loses points for stools other wise it would be 10/10
