Most Disliked
While the Railway Inn receives high marks for food and ambiance, some patrons express concerns about the parking situation. The free parking can get somewhat cramped during peak hours, and finding a spot can be a challenge. Additionally, during busy times, the restaurant is packed, leading to longer wait times for meals. Some diners have pointed out that this popularity can sometimes compromise the speed of service. However, the wait is often considered worth it for the flavorful dishes served. A few also wish for a more extensive dessert menu, as scrumptious sweets would nicely round out their culinary experience.

Excellent food. I had soya jalfrezi extra spicy and mushroom rice. It's a very busy place but the wait is worth the while! Attentive friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks. They have the formula 100% right.

Visited the Railway Inn in West Bromwich with friends, and it was an amazing experience! The curry was packed with authentic Indian flavors, rich and perfectly spiced – it honestly felt like I was eating back in India. The food was good, the atmosphere was good, and the beer was good – so what more could you ask for? The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the place had a warm, welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you love great food and a good pint. I’ll be coming back for sure!

I recently visited the Railway Inn in West Bromwich, and I was truly impressed! I ordered the curry, and it was absolutely delicious – the taste instantly transported me back to India. The flavors were rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced, just like traditional Indian home cooking. Every bite was full of freshness and spices that blended beautifully. The food was good, the atmosphere was good, and the beer was good – so what more do you want than that? Just visit! The service was friendly, and the whole experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for genuine, flavorful Indian food in West Bromwich. I will definitely be coming back!

Popped in for a cheeky Sunday evening mix grill. Not been here for a couple of years. We've been before and the food was always on point. Not disappointed this time. The owners have invested in refurbished aspects of the pub and outdoor area. Still not quite finished but you can see and feel the vision. The food service and quality after a long period away from the railway was on point......superb in fact as my wife just said. We will definitely be coming back. Place is warm..... welcoming and reasonably priced. Everything you need and want from a desi mix grill pub. The manager Gurpreet was very lovely and attentive to all our needs. Keep up the good work. We will be back soon. Dinesh and Gemma
