Set beside the scenic Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Wolverhampton, Canalside Lounge brings inspired Punjabi cuisine to a warm and welcoming space that blends tradition with modern flair. Whether you’re out for a date night, gathering with friends or family, or planning a celebration, this versatile venue has something for everyone.
Inside, the atmosphere is cosy and colourful, with exposed brick walls washed in soft peachy tones, warm filament lighting and quirky rose garlands strung across the ceiling. Plush green velvet booths and industrial-style bar stools add to the eclectic charm, while the terrace offers outdoor seating overlooking the water, with views of greenery across the canal.
The menu celebrates authentic Punjabi cooking with a contemporary twist. Start with crispy paneer pakoras, onion bhajis, or spring rolls, then explore grilled favourites like lamb chop sizzlers or a large mixed grill cooked fresh in the tandoor.
Desi pizzas are made with naan dough and topped with chicken tikka, desi lamb, or paneer. For a feast, the Punjabi thali board offers chicken tikka, sheesh kebab, wings, chicken curry, lamb curry, naan, rice, and chips, with a vegetarian version available too.
Curry lovers will find familiar favourites like madras, jalfrezi, butter chicken and saag, as well as chef specials such as the Royal Thava curry, which features a secret blend of spices and rich desi chicken on the bone. There’s also a variety of naan wraps, sides and a dedicated kids menu with pizza, burgers and chicken strips, with vegetable side options and drinks. Canalside Lounge hosts special events from birthday parties to engagement parties and live music nights.
