Hen and Chickens - Birmingham

Brilliant place for a tasty Indian, no bells or whistles but does have Sky Sports... just good grub! #IndianJQ

This place is a prime example of the saying 'don't the judge a book by its cover'.

This place would not be for everyone but to me has to be one of Birmingham's best kept secrets. The outside of this place is a traditional boozer but as

This is a stalwart of the Birmingham and Black Country desi pub explosion. Proper Indian food in an old school Brummie boozer. Class. It's not much to look at from the outside. Desi pubs are known for their unassuming exterior. It looks like a dilapidated old pub that hasn't been open for years. But inside I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is more light and airy than dark and dingy. A bit old school but nice! But it's got a welcoming atmosphere. There are a couple of big screens showing Sky Sports but they don't intrude on the laidback atmosphere. The place was rammed at lunch time, which is always a good sign! Full of families, groups of friends and business people like us. The mixed grill we had between us was RIDICULOUS. Sizzling away on a cast iron skillet, the smells and sight of the Seekh kebabs super juicy despite their crisp grilled exterior, spicy chicken wings, chicken legs and crispy fish pakoras were an absolute treat. Reasonable beer selection a nice IPA that I'd not heard of before was lush. Service was great albeit we'd pre ordered our food before arrival, but 15 mins in, we were eating. £17 for a large mixed grill, which is easily big enough for 2/3 bods. Go here!

Had a great meal, mixed meat platter. Great quality and reasonable price October 2021
