The Soak should be renamed 'the GOAT', because it truly is the greatest curry of all time.Posted on Google Mitchell S17 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic food. Great place to stop in and grab some curryPosted on Google Ankeeta Mitra15 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The moment you enter, you would find this restaurant as good as any other traditional with an old heritage. The owner is very sweet and humble. The waiters are kind and they suggest according to your palette. Extremely neat and has a very soothing ambience. It has TVs which play sports, music etc, that make the best place to visit with your friends to enjoy the game with remarkable indian dishes and beer! Honestly, I visited many indian restrictions in the UK, but none came as close to this one. It has that authentic indian taste and tops in quality and quantity at a very reasonable price. I come here every time I visit Birmingham. So, if you want an Indian spicy twist, with great taste and fancy ambiance but of course not bending too much on the budget, this restaurant definitely tops your list! I suggest you must taste the biryani, the platter for starters, the chicken/meat currys with garlic Naan.Posted on Google Parth Khadatkar15 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Splendid food and Lovely environment! The menu offers a fantastic selection of dishes, each prepared with fresh ingredients and presented beautifully. I have tried multiple dishes...(some of my favorites being- chilli fish, chicken biryani, and tikki chaat, and it was cooked to perfection. The veg options are equally impressive as the chicken and fish ones and the desserts are a treat too! Every bite was bursting with flavor, making it clear that the chefs put great care into their art. The bar has various drinks to choose from like any other bar in the UK. They also have some offers going on every now and then. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and stylish. Whether you're here for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a casual night out with friends, the warm lighting, tasteful decor, and soothing background music create a welcoming and relaxing environment. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. The entire team was friendly and professional, enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, a charming atmosphere with live sports broadcast, this is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon!Posted on Google Harry TheBus4 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Food is excellent and very reasonable price, would not recommend going on a Monday as it's a Quiz night so very busy, but enjoyable all the same ☺️Posted on Google Anita4 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great place to have lunch with your loved ones. The atmosphere is lovely, and the food tastes amazing—and there’s plenty of it! The only downside is that it takes a long time for the food to arrive after ordering.

Posted on Tripadvisor SHStroller6810 August 2026Verified Family lunch Had large mixed grill between 3 plus 3 x garlic and cheese naans, keema naan and a Lamb Saag curry. Came to £56. Freshly cooked so took a good 20mins. Food was pipping hot. All 4 of us loved the food, even had some to take homePosted on Tripadvisor Mandy K5 May 2026Verified Great Food The service was great, such friendly staff, especially Rajo, very friendly and gave outstanding service. The food was excellent, I would definitely go again, and would highly recommend the place.Posted on Tripadvisor daffodil12345_118 April 2026Verified Gem of a place!! Absolute gem of a pub!! The best Indian food I’ve ever eaten and the breakfast was to die for! So cheap as well.Posted on Tripadvisor Brian W27 November 2025Verified Excellent, simple but wonderful dining. A very simple and effective concept of a "beer and a curry". Went there on a Saturday night with friends. As you enter you are welcomed by a lively and friendly pub atmosphere, so straight to the bar to order a pint. The accommodating bar-staff offer a most efficient service and, if you're like me, are happy to let you 'try before you buy' so that you can select your preference from an excellent range of cask and keg beers. Take your pint to a table and savour it whilst you browse the comprehensive Indian food menu; it's good! Once you've made your choices go to the 'food bar', place your order, pay for it and give them the table number. Collect another beer on the way back to the table and it's not too long before some delightful individuall serves you delicious platefuls of spicy pleasure. All under £20 p/p .Posted on Tripadvisor Will C3 November 2025Verified Soak bar and grill review Lovely chicken wings good experience. The place has a lovely feel and a good pint of lager too. Staff were friendly and food was served quickly.Posted on Tripadvisor Claire03louise1 November 2025Verified What a night!!! Hands down the best pub in Selly Oak! We visited for the retirement of a close colleague and it was fab! We had a reserved at no additional cost. Tables were cleaned often. Food arrived quickly even though it was busy and was lovely. Halloween decorations were great and the atmosphere was brilliant. What made the night unforgettable were the staff and the owner. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We’ll definitely be returning. Thank you for an amazing evening!Posted on Tripadvisor daffodil12345_1121 October 2025Verified The best breakfast in Birmingham I recently moved to the area and noticed the board outside saying that they served breakfast etc. I went into the bar area and ordered a full English breakfast with a cup of tea…..total price was £10.30. I waited a very short time and my tea was served to me followed by my breakfast….. and what a joy it was!!! Not only do they use a Yorkshire tea bag but the breakfast was HUGE. 2 of everything, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, fried bread, eggs, beans, tomatoes, hash browns etc and toast to boot. All this for what I had paid!!! It puts Wetherspoon's to shame. A thoroughly great experience!!!
