Reviewing the "BEST INDIAN GASTROPUB" in BIRMINGHAM!

[@JackTaylorsFoodReviews]

Hi Gary - I have to say your channel is refreshing. Not over hyped, just a wholesome be yourself informative site. I am impressed how many reviews you are doing - good luck

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Jack. All the best.

[@D1210]

Giving out takeaway dishes not only is a brilliant idea but screams confidence in their food. Love that, always feel a bit cheeky asking to take away food i cant finish.

[@GaryEats]

It’s a great touch, takes away any awkwardness

[@momuv6980]

Gary, Having grown up in Vermont (US) in the 1960s & 70s, my exposure to ethnic food was nonexistent. We ate mildly seasoned, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs New England fare. Your channel has opened up my eyes to cuisines that I would never otherwise be exposed to. I am hoping that life circumstances will allow me to do some traveling to your lovely country before I am too old to do so.😊 Your geography, your history, your food . . . cannot wait! Thank you for inspiring me!❤

[@GaryEats]

You’re more than welcome

[@donnaweston7697]

Google is your friend. If you want to try different foods, take a look at recipes online and have a go yourself. Plus there are some brilliant videos on KZbin that you can watch before you get cooking. Give it a try 😁. Plus I was born about 3 miles from the Soho Gary reviewed.

[@rjrayner1972]

Best food reviewer on KZbin. I love your honesty. I also like how you are not afraid to give both high and low scores. Would love to see some Chinese reviews as I find Chinese food somewhat hit and miss. Keep up the good work, Gary.

[@Ben-ks5bm]

Chinese food is as bland as hell… Sweet and sour or salty, the quality is also terrible.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you!! I can do that for you.

[@MichaelJoseph-vb5ml]

​@@Ben-ks5bmthat's not Chinese food. Not in any region in China do they eat that. Sweet and Sour? That's a dish from Hong Kong to serve to westerners.

[@alastair9377]

Try a proper Chinese restaurant, it's a different world from the blend rubbish that the local 'Chinese' takeaway serves.

[@Ben-ks5bm]

@@MichaelJoseph-vb5ml I’m aware of that mate, hence why our so called Chinese food is hideous.

[@oldfartinthenight9201]

Another cracking review Gary. I'm not vegetarian, but sometimes I don't fancy a meat heavy dish and I love that Indian cuisine has such wonderfully tasty veggie dishes. That Bhindi Masala looked delicious and if I did not have dinner on the go right now, I'd be ordering from our local Indian. Cheers m'dears!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you! Completely agree.

[@sylviamatthee8172]

Astonishing portions. My mouth was salivating! The tandoori grilled meats and king prawns looked delicious. The vegetable dish looked really great as well. Next time, if I may suggest, I would order alloo paratha (spiced potatoes stuffed paratha) for a change. You will love it. Thank you again for eating on our behalf. Much appreciated.

[@GaryEats]

You are more than welcome Sylvia. All the best. Yes, I will get something different.

[@garlicgorilla6540]

Of course the portion will be massive if it’s obvious a restaurant review is being made and there is a cameraman as well.

[@Notevenallowedtoburnwood]

​@@sneer0101Not always the case but more often than not, it is the case. Why you felt the need to say grow up is very strange. Do you eat there often? If so, tell us that the portions are always like this. Or are you just fanboying because it's an Indian restaurant?

[@majikp24]

@@garlicgorilla6540no. Even I go it’s still huge. One mixed grill and two curries feeds 4 of us

That looked amazing and, to be fair, lamb chops seem to be somethings that most restaurants struggle to serve tender, especially if they're part of a mixed grill. I know you're venturing beyond London more now but the Lahore Kebab House in Aldgate does fantastic lamb chops. Might be worth a try next time you're in the area. Great review as always.

[@successblueprintinstitute]

Lamb chops at Indian restaurants usually suck. Flavour is there but usually not cooked right

[@Gordon_Highlander]

That was one of the best meals have seen in ages mate. I will give it a score of 10/10 because they had *OKRA* on the menu, and OKRA is my most *FAVOURITE VEGETABLE, NO IF'S NO BUT"S.* I loved the way they cooked it as well. I would have overlooked the fact that the lamb chops were a tad overdone, as the portion size was *OUTSTANDING,* and for once, my Sporran did not object. Whilst watching you devour that meal, I was getting stuck into my *FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST WITH LASHINGS OF MUSHROOMS, COOKED IN GARLIC BUTTER, "BILLY THE BUTCHER" SAUSAGES, BLACK PUDDING HEINZ ENGLISH BAKED BEANS (The only Baked Beans worthy of my stomach) and BUBBLE & SQUEAK!* NO LUNCH FOR ME!

[@heidifogelberg3544]

I always worry about the "sizzle" plates - they're super-heated, and some times even if the food on them is perfectly cooked when it goes on the platter, it can get overdone just in transit from the heat on the serving dish. The onions etc help, but ... I do find that items closer to the platter or eaten later in the meal can be more done than i really want. I mean, it's an exciting presentation, but ...

[@GaryEats]

Yes. In all honesty, I just love the drama. Lol!

I really loved that you always went exclusively for good old fish and chips, but I don't mind the change of pace. I can imagine there are only that many fish and chips shops worth visiting. This looked absolutely splendid, I'm really envious of all the oriental/ Asian/ Indian restaurants you have in Britain, there's maybe a dozen in my corner of the woods and they're mostly no good. And I can't help but wonder how much the cameraman helped out? Looks like a decent portion for two people and all things considered, the price is not half bad for such a meal. All in all it was a pleasure watching you enjoy the meal so much! Cheers!

Gary's done a lot more than fish and chips, check out some more of his reviews.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. I do many more dishes than just fish and chips!

[@martindunstan8043]

Evening Gary 👍Wow, that did look superb, I definitely agree with your point with the lamb but that said, what an immense portion size. I can't believe so much of it went, I know the cameraman had some but still practically clear plates, awesome place to eat. Thanks Gary and cameraman, cheers✌️🍻

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Martin 👍 Yes, the portions were absolutely huge.

Hockley is very much in Birmingham, it’s actually not too far from the city centre especially if you hop on the tram… Birmingham is a very big city remember… some amazing restaurants from high end to brilliant independent bakeries & cafes… Soho tavern is a brilliant desi pub

[@GaryEats]

Yes, thank you James. All the best.

[@VickyRussell-122]

I was born in Hockley, many moons ago.😂

[@Michael_Brock]

Great reviews and excellent camera work as usual.

[@GaryEats]

Thank you Michael!

Nice to see you getting a bit more local to me! May I recommend an Indian Restaurant? " Radhuni, 4 Mill St, Cannock WS11 0DL". Keep the videos coming, love your content !!

[@GaryEats]

Thank you. Of course, thanks for the tip.

[@bubbacalling]

Happy New Year! Wishing you a great 2024 with lots of fantastic food!

[@GaryEats]

Happy 2024!

[@graemer3657]

Another great video. Gary -you rarely seem to have a drink with your food unless it’s a cup of tea. Is that just the way the videos are cut?

[@GaryEats]

I do usually. I think you probably just don’t see it as the way the video is cut. Thanks!

[@kathyhayden2499]

I thought it was a great touch with the takeaway boxes,nice ambiance in there too,food very good as well, thanks Gary a very honest review.

[@GaryEats]

Still watching from below stairs, here at thy bottom of thy earth, new🥝🥝🥝zealand, loving ya content and keep up thy stellar work Gary, cheers from a barmy summers evening 🍻🍻🍻

[@GaryEats]

Thank you my friend.

[@palace1439]

Never seen it before. But what a clever idea with the takeout containers and paper bag for the leftovers. 👍

[@GaryEats]

Spot on.

[@Sr19769p]

Exactly. It also spares you the mild embarrassment of asking for one, and saves the staff time having to go back to the kitchen, pack it up for you, then take it back to your table when they're already rushed off their feet.

[@charlielarton]

brilliant as usual. Love your channel really good and enjoyable to watch. I am addicted.

[@GaryEats]

Great to hear Charlie!

[@charlielarton]

@@GaryEats Thank you, your the Best. I have gone to 3 places that you have liked.. and food was great.

[@GaryEats]

[@charlielarton]

Cafe Paulo and that wonderful Indian @@GaryEats

[@bigmoney4685]

Cracking video again sir. In early december time i came across your channel and subscribed instantly. I was getting bored of that food review channel he could learn a lot from you. Im giving that channel a miss for 2024. As for your channel in your own words.... Lets give it a go🍾🍾🍾

[@GaryEats]

Welcome aboard! I’m glad you’re liking the channel.

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Happy New Year Gary, what a cracking place there, great value for money and I love how they make provisions for the doggy bag, really well thought out.

[@GaryEats]

Happy new year Kevin 😄

[@lydialynagh3309]

[@GaryEats]

Thanks for watching!

[@joshhunter4820]

Love the channel Gary! If you ever fancy reviewing some places in Newcastle, me and my family would love to see that. We would recommend the Magic hat cafe, Rio's steakhouse, BlackFriars, cook house, khai khai, Mannaza and the tanner's arms as some suggestions. Keep up the good work Gary

[@GaryEats]

I will be coming up to Newcastle at some point. Probably late spring/early summer if that's okay. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@joshhunter4820]

Of course that's okay Gary! When you visit, I hope you have a lovely time ​@@GaryEats

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Josh.

[@andrewroberts4736]

BTW , went to Maureens a couple of weeks ago. It was a 10 !!!! Two pie , single mash and liquor for £6 . And some pies for the freezer. Amazing pie and mash. Thanks to your review, I have found Pie and Mash heaven !

[@GaryEats]

This is brilliant to hear Andrew. A lovely place and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
