Went on a Thursday evening to the Red cow. Thought the worst as there was 1 table occupied by diners. How wrong we were! We went for the ‘fat cow’ chilli chips, masala chips, lollipop chicken, chilli lollipops and 3 naans. We asked for the chips and naans to be upgraded on the fat cow as it only comes with plain but it was lost in translation so we got 3 plain naans and 2 chips additional to what we wanted. The fat cow grill itself was sensational. Lamb chops - great taste, perfect amount of charring. All the chicken was juicy and full of flavour. Fish pakora - nice light batter, lots of meaty fish. The chilli chips were unreal, so so good! Definitely recommend them with the chilli lollipops. Certainly no scrimping on the portions! The only slight criticism is the grill wasn’t sizzling when it came out but it was on a oven tray as it was so big! It says on the menu it serves 8-10, there was 5 of us and we were all stuffed. Would definitely go back, be great to go when it’s busy. One of the best mixed grills we’ve all had, up there with Champys, new hen and chickens etc. Update… we went back for our Xmas mixy, again quiet inside in the dining area but the mixy was first class. Had the £42 fat cow again. Was 6 of us, with 2 cobras to top it off we were all stuffed. The chilli chips and chilli lollipop are a must. Chips are battered and covered in chilli sauce…. Unbeatable! Football was on prime too! Thanks red cow for rounding off this year with a class mixy!

Food was really nice. Ordered lamb and chicken drumsticks and they tasted exactly as I expected. The service was also very quick and the staff were fantastic. My only criticism is the interior looks very dated and could do with a serious refesh.

We experienced a very average pub that was almost empty and we understood why as well having only spent a short time there. Just had a drink and ate elsewhere. It was very unfriendly and unwelcoming and instead we chose to eat at the Amritsari Tarka opposite which was superb. Shame as we met some really nice people today around Sandwell. Definitely a place to avoid.

We went here en route to the hawthorns. Friendly staff with a good beer selection at low prices with a Cobra for £3 odd quid! We ordered the mini cow mixed platter between two with chips & naan. Mixed platter was seriously amazing & I was stuffed! Decor is a little dated but tbh I was there for the food and everyone was lovely with good pre match chats!

Fantastic place for a bite to eat, well worth a visit. Staff friendly and helpful.

My first time at this place. It is a traditional style pub with pool tables and a dart board. They even serve a pint of mild. The staff are friendly. Get a pint, sit down, look at the menu and order your food. There is a very good selection on the Menu. The Mixed Grill came in 5 sizes. We had a Red Cow mixed grill, Chicken Balti, Lamb Kadai, Lamb Keema with Aloo. Sides were Pilau Rice, Naan, Roti and Chips. The mixed grill is one of the best I've tasted in a long time. Nothing on the platter was charred black like you would find in some desi pubs. The the meat was tender and flavourful. The curries were on par with most places except for the Lamb Keema with Aloo where it was very salty. We brought this to their attention and was quickly resolved. The prices were reasonable. Good value for money. I also ordered 2 Butter Chickens and 2 Naans to take home for the kids. Normally most places serve the Butter Chicken as mild, but this one had a bit of a kick to it. It was still very tasty, but unfortunately one of the kids couldn't handle the heat. This is a mental note for me in the future. The question is...Would we return? Yes... Especially for the mixed grill.

Full time - 9/10 On arrival we were welcomed by a large selection of beers and ciders to which it took a while to decide what refreshment i wanted. I chose a Cobra @ £3,30 Went and sat down with around 5 televisions in crucial locations to be able to see the Europa League final. Having looked at the menu myself and co-attendee chose a ‘Red Cow’ to share alongside two garlic cheese naans with a side of chips which totalled £21. Food was brought to the table within 15 minutes and was piping hot - all the foods was delicious and even ate the fish pakoras which is slightly out the ordinary for myself. Garlic and cheese Naan was again sublime but unfortunately due to the amount on the ‘red cow’ I left a slice and a few chips. Would even recommend this to my ex as this establishment was thoroughly enjoyed - only downside was the distance to travel but you have got to speculate to accumulate.

Visited Saturday evening for the first time and really ourselves.We travelled from Coventry after checking reviews and were not disappointed. We had veg & fish pakora starters which were crispy and tasted delicious. Then ordered lamb and bombay potato curry, mini sizzler, kulcha naan, masala chips with side salad. Food was very good quality and well priced costing £22 for the above. Good table service and beer plus plenty of TV screens to watch footy so will definitely visit again.

Had my sons 21st birthday party here yesterday the Venue was amazing and the staff was very helpful. I would recommend this this place 💯% thank you all!!

This was our second visit to the Red Cow, we were not disappointed, those who wanted hot curry enjoyed their spicy meal, I enjoyed my chicken tikka masala and my pint of IPA. Everyone went home well fed and we will revisit as next time we need to have the Red Cow sharing platter, the fish pakora is legendary.

We have been visiting this place since 2018. The place to go for mixed grills. But what has happened recently with the quality? Our last visit (01/01/2024), there was definitely something wrong with the normal quality. The food was unfortunately both bland and tasted off. This is not normal for this establishment. My dining guests who consumed this complained of upset stomach issues (red meat and poultry). The seafood which I ate was definitely not good and tasted bad/off. Very disappointing, possibly we had a bad batch or dare we say re-heated food? Don’t think we will return which is a great shame.

Everything I'd hoped and more. Food fantastic, everything is well priced and staff are friendly.

Most of the grill places in the Midlands are ok, it's more of a case of " pile'm high, sell'm cheap". Sometimes to much food colouring, I've seen purple kebabs. The foods ok at Red Cow but I haven't found one that compares to grill places in the south, my current favourite is Punjabi Dhaba in Hounslow.

Always love going here, you always feel welcome, food you cant fault and good value! You can go in dressed up or in your work clothes and you wont feel out of place.

This place was beyond incredible!!! We ordered the Red cow Mixed Grill and the selection of food was phenomenal. The flavours of each of the foods was distinct and delicious. The service was extremely friendly and everyone who worked there was brilliant. I highly suggest booking a table beforehand on the weekend because we went the night before and it was packed. Overall, I highly suggest this restaurant for a an incredible meal and a fun time!!!

Been here a few times for a few different functions and has always been good. Decent venue and easy to get to for locals.

Not a bad word to say at all about the red cow. The dishes are spot on and delicious every time, and the service is excellent too. Definitely our go to curry house, and we always look forward to eating from here. ☺️

Nice place for events. friendly and helpful staff with full knowledge of menu. Easily locate take 87 from city hospital birmingham and get off on Smethwick local council bus stop. One min walk from there. Food was average. But services and atmosphere was great.

Been twice, both times the chap that took my order and payment was sarcastic.. I ordered two grilled mains and was only given one salad, I asked for an extra one (little lettuce onion bag) and he charged me 😳 bit of a joke really. That being said the doors is decent, but would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Nice place, full experienced staff and the Owner is responsible and carefully person,help all staff, customers feel relaxed, getting order on time and wonderful things is you see all area near and clean.

Fantastic food and service, great prices too, lovely place to go will definitely return

Service was absolutely awful. Told us to sit in one corner and not move because we had children with us. Told us we couldn't cut the birthday cake because it would cause too much mess. Asked us about 5 times how long we were staying. We didn't stay. We picked up our stuff and left and went to the Soho Tavern. WAY better experience, service AND food! Red cow is just an old man grubby pub - needs a modern refurb because it was like walking back to 1996 with 0 atmosphere and 0 welcoming. Never again would I go here. And the cider tasted weird - like tinny.. dirty pipes or something. Awful!

I absolutely love the food from here it's always cames pipping hot and the delivery guy today was so friendly I think kitchen staff need a bit more training had ro repeat my address and phone number numerous times and still they didn't put down my phone number well definitely looking to book our wedding reception here

Had my husbands 50th here in July 22. Fantastic venue - food and attention to detail. All my guests loved the food

Quite honestly the best curry we ever had. Food was excellent quality. Generous. A real treat. Would highly recommend.

Very cozy place and delicious food. I also really liked the bar. We will definitely be visiting again.
