A lot of nostalgia and memories involved when discussing this Desi-Pub. I've had many great nights in here over the last 20 years, to the soundtrack of the Punjabi songs on the jukebox! Also been in on West Bromwich Albion match days when it's absolutely packed. Quite busy when big matches are on tv too. Food-wise, it's one of the original Desi-Pubs where people have been going for a Mixi. It may not always be to the taste of newer people in the mixed grill scene, but a lot of us older guys love it. Visited recently for the first time in years and was surprised that they've finally introduced table service. There had previously been occasions where I've ordered over £200 worth of food in a big group of lads, and we'd been made by the chef to collect it all ourselves! It's still the same main chef there though. Good selection of drinks. Noticed the prices have gone up a fair bit, but that's just life at the moment with almost everywhere. Bar area is great for chilling out with a beer, playing pool etc. Separate restaurant area is very comfy with big booths for large groups. Big outside space too for smokers or drinking in the summer.

Food quality is poor very bad experience .. place is good sitting arrangement good only for drinkers .. not for family nd mainly service is very bad

Very nice food always good food... Service is just inappropriate at times

Fantastic food, four of us split a mixed grill, butter chicken, chicken jalfreze, rice, and naans. We enjoyed everything, but the onion bagee was my personal favourite.

Food was delicious as always and served fast. They have some decent outdoor seating

Nice place for a good pint and food and to chill with mates, can easily spend hours here, drinks are reasonable price, service is great and food is like a bbq charcoal and very tasty. Mix grill is huge, overall great place.

Nice ales, nice atmosphere, the food was OK.

Food is always 10/10 No your ordinary mixed grill! Chicken has so much flavour. You can taste the tandoor! Highly recommend

First time going to the sportsman. Starts sizzler was great. The 2 out of 5 of the main dishes we weren't too pleased with. The service was excellent. There could have been some soft music in the background, as it was lunchtime, it was quiet. The staff were very friendly. I would go next time again to hv the sizzler meal. The lamb curry, dhal, and chicken saag with mushrooms, these 3 main dishes were mouth watering. Thankyou.

Spacious garden area and 2 indoor bar spaces with adjoining restaurant. West Bromwich Albion pub! *couldn't see any access for mobility impaired customers or pushchairs

Food is excellent and is cooked to order. It's a proper Indian sports pub . Nice atmosphere, used by locals as a pub and doubles as a restaurant. Food was tasty and good value.

Bar staff are awesome, all really make the venue more fun! Food is good also!

Went there after 4 years. Why do the meat they serve is black and crispy . It's still the same as years ago. Look at other places, their food is never black

I do love the Sportsman its not much to look at but the food is authentic and sublime. Never had a bad meal and always made welcome.

Food was decent not anything outstanding except the fish pakora and chilli chicken was great, rest of the grill was okay, nothing outstanding or worthy of further mention with so much competition in the same cuisine, I expected fierce competution on delivering a fantastic dish/product. A very eye of the tiger bare environment.

Went for a mixed grill, and the taste was ok. There were too many shish kebabs, and they were dry. Masalla chips were meh. Definitely better mixed grills than this place, I personally won't be returning.

The behaviour of the tender wasn't appropriate ably while placing the order. There wasn't a single piece of salad with my whole order, he said your order was last at 21:50 on Sunday. And they are about to close.

Great food great atmosphere on a match day

Came here for a few beers before moving onto another pub. Nice atmosphere, service was good.

Love this old school desi pub, one of the very few left in the area that serve proper bbq meat Good selection of lager and a jukebox with your favourite classics Attached is a selection of the bbqd meats, they also do a great keema and fish pakora

Food was OK. Not enough space and found myself feeling children mid air while others hogged the tables without food.

Stopped by on our way past the place on recommendation from a ex-local. Loved the food! Especially the grilled meat. Found the salt a bit too high for my taste. But that's something hopefully they will try and dial down. Fairly well priced. Value for money. I'd go so far as to call this a hidden gem, as long as you don't mind eating in a local.

Me and my partner big mac come here after work quite alot . We shared our song over a full table of korma and chilli chips and a moist garlic naan . The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is absolutely stunning. Looking forward to many more splendid memories in the forthcoming xxxx

Been eating and drinking here for 15 years. The place is an institution. Everything on the menu is excellent, and the prices and selection behind the bar are spot on

One of the best places to eat in Britain, if you want to taste authentic Indian/Delhi tandoori food. none of that, 'sort' of or almost 'indian' food, the real authentic coal fired tandoor. been eating here for 17 years, the way they have incorporated pub and tandoor, is amazing, wonder why don't we have more places in country like this.. anyways, proper tikha(spicy) tandoori grilled food at amazing price, every time i am driving up and down the country, i make sure to get some packed for family.

Food was really good, but the first time we had a lamb curry it was too spicy when I did say to not put too much chillies in it. But the second time it was just right 👌

Love food and drinks best place to go , everyone is friendly

Great food at sports man. My family (wife and kids) enjoyed it very very much

Friendly service, nice food. Overall good place to come and have drinks with family and the lads and play some pool too

Friendly place, good for drinks and food. Recommend the paneer curry. Grill was little over done.

Excellent food. Always super fresh and very tasty. Recommend visiting with some friends or family to socialise and enjoy food together.

Food was nice. They accommodated for a very large group of us and the staff we great behind the bar. I'd go back again

Amazing food !!! and quick warm service. We live nowhere close but if we are travelling anywhere close we always make it a point to stop here. Avoid the toilets though !

Food is still okay but meat often burned, price increase isn’t justified. Cleanliness is bad, ladies toilets smell and are never clean. Staff changed a few years ago which is a shame

Been ordering and eating from here for years. The quality of food has always been consistent. The jave never missed an item out either when ordering a takeaway for collection. The curry is well spiced and the grills are seasons and cooked perfectly. The price is also very reasonable and table service is usually quick.
