I was staying over in Birmingham with colleagues for an away day and a staff conference. We had decided to go out for dinner and one of my colleagues had recommended the Hen & Chickens, one of many desi pubs in Birmingham. Essentially this is a pub which sells curry. There was quite a lot of choice, but I went with the fish curry and a naan bread.
This was a decent portion of curry and it was really delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly, sometimes with a fish curry the fish can be overcooked, so it falls apart as you try and eat it, this fish was nice and firm. The sauce could have been over-spiced, but I felt it was just right, you can taste the spices, and I think the best way to describe it was that there was heat in the spice mix used, but it wasn’t overly spicy either. The naan bread was nice and fresh and went well with the curry.
I did like the look of the menu, and would have liked to try out all the starters and the mixed grills sounded interesting. I didn’t get a chance to talk a photograph go my dish. Hopefully I can make a return visit in the future.
