Great food served in a pleasant atmosphere. Prompt courteous service and modern decor. Good range of food and great value for Birmingham City Centre. Easy on street parking outside in the evenings.

If you book specify not to be plonked next to the front door - nightmare and squeezed in like a sardine. Don't expect a cheap curry either... pricey for the grub and the service.

Still the best curry I have ever tasted! I came here around 3 years ago before the refurb and was extremely impressed with the food. I've come back and please to say I'm not disappointed. The food was lovely and we were in the new eating area. The mixed grill was fantastic - an explosion of flavours and we enjoyed our curries. The manager came over and commented that the Keema naan was a little overcooked and offered a replacement. We were fine with it but he insisted it was removed from the bill which was unexpected. Overall great beer and fantastic food - highly recommended to all :-)

Wasn’t aware that children weren’t allowed after 6pm! Also ordered a large platter for 8 as a starter and it came out with the main meals and when this was said no offer to bring back mains was made! Food though was very good

Food was fantastic, hot and fresh... staff were very accommodating and friendly... the place is cosy but well lit, i litrally only have one thing to moan about, the stools we had to sit on..very low and uncomfortable, my back was in tatters after, but the food made it worth it..

Good food. We had the mixed grill and a selection of curries. Probably on the slightly expensive side of fairly priced. Great venue inside. Great for sport, particularly the room out the back. A blokes dream pub.

Incredible place. Second time i’ve been now. Food is excellent, and pretty reasonably priced. Starter portions are really quite big. Having great beers on draught too makes it perfect too. Not having table service actually better too in my option. Will be going again soon...

Buzzing atmosphere on a Saturday night service was excellent, food was really fresh tasting. The sides were perfect . We didn’t manage to finish only because the portions are so generous

This place was joint effort creation by the Gods of Indian Food and Dining as a gift for us mere mortals to enjoy. The Chef who cooked the Large Sizzling Grill deserves a knighthood. #Bangin

This is a wonderful pub serving the best curries. We didn't have the famous mixed grill last night but the sight and smells of it are enough to tempt me back. Our food was excellent, particularly Chicken Bhuna and Lamb Saag. Beer choice is great and the service is friendly and efficient. Very busy pub, so book ahead.

Lovely Indian food, carefully cooked. This was my third visit here. The grilled meats are delicious, and the curries are very tasty too. The saag paneer today was outstanding. The fish pakora and fish curry are also very good. Delicious cocktails today. There is a good range of gin and wine too, as well as a selection of beer and cider. The service was very attentive too. This is a lovely old pub that has been beautifully restored. It is cosy and welcoming, with great food and drink.

Lovely freshly prepared food, the portions at the Hen & Chickens are always very substantial. The room at the back is probably the best place in the pub to eat, it's away from the very busy bar area and has a very cosy feel to it.
