Alam in Birmingham

We were well looked after by Basharat, he is polite, patient and very customer service orientated. We are very happy with the service and the food was great. Thank you

Amazing food, such high quality. Excellent service - very friendly staff. Lovely environment very warm and quiet. Perfectly sized portions. Thank you for the free tea!!!

Came at extremely busy time but they made every effort to seat us within 5 mins even though wait time was 20 mins. Food was delicious; lamb nehari tasted divine, sea bass was flaky and cook perfectly, kids had nuggets, kids pizza was the cheesiest pizza ever they loved it, beef lasagne actually had rich beef mince in it, cheese pasta was a little dry but my kids loved it, king prawn was HUUUUUGE, it was so reasonably priced and the waiters were so lovely and amazing and always there when needed will definitely come back child friendly and family friendly. 5 stars is not enough for this place. £150 worth ever penny.

Great place. £2 parking for 2 hours out behind the resturant. On street parking hard to find.

Great customer service brother Azim was very good to us

Food 10/10 Great service and atmosphere is amazing would recommend Azeem one of the best waiters here

Everything we order was fantastic and the service of Muhammad hashim is very good he is very nice man.

The service provided at this restaurant used to be great but it has gone downhill. We ordered a donner main, it was ordinary donner kebab which is what many chip shops offer. The best bit about the main meal were the complimentary ketchup and mayonnaise jars. The desserts were great, and was the best part of the whole meal. The customer service was appalling, the saving grace was one waiter with the shoulder length hair. The waiter allocated to our table did not explain the ordering process, my meal was delayed by around 30 minutes, no apology or explanation was offered. I will not be visiting again and this is mainly due to the poor service.

Upon arrival i was greeted by a nice pleasant waiter by the name of waseem he seated us down and thoroughly explained what the menu consisted of and helped us out ordering i would recommend trying out the new menu they have as it has quite some new options there like the butter chicken i tried was very flavourful. thanks again to the young man waseem’s attentive service

Great food amazing service Staff were wonderful especially khurram!!!!! Would give 1000 stars if I could!!!!

Great food! We had a great server, Khurram. Excellent customer service. Would recommend.

We visited Alam at the weekend,overall it was ok but the food was expensive .we ordered mix grill it was a small portion ,then we had karahi which was again pricey and it was just ok.the presentation was just below the average.the plate where the karahi was served was cracked.i would say guy who deal with us gave us good service as compared to food .I would recommend them to work at their ambiance more it should be more welcoming and also prices should be reasonable so somebody think to comeback and also chef need to understand in karahi the meat size should be bite size.thank you

Food was absolutely superb, our server Muhammad Hashim was very welcoming and polite. He was very attentive to our needs and gave us extra gravy. He also specially gifted us a cheesecake on the house. Bless his cotton socks.

The place is very comfortable and the food was tasty the portions are very well enough as well! The entire staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Mohammed Hashim who is also one of the staff was very respectful and helpful with everything. He even requested to take pictures of us. Highly recommend!

Really loved the food! We ordered the lamb biriyani and it was delicious and tender. It was the first time trying samosa chaat for us and we loved it. Definitely coming back again In Sha Allah!!!!!

Greeted at the door Given a great table with enough room Was given enough time to order, was very patient with us as we didn’t make order easy. They cater for everyone young or old You will not be disappointed! Khurram the server we had was attentive throughout our whole experience so thank you Khurram 🙏🏽

We went here with our family for the first time and had a lovely experience. Food was extraordinary without doubt and Mohammed Hashim took care of our order and served us very kindly. Will visit again purely because of his amazing well mannered service and delicious food.

Khurram was very lovely and kind

khurram was so lovely, excellent service and was so funny! great interactions all night!

Our waiter Khurram was really nice and friendly and the food was lovely

My husband and I; came to Birmingham today from Middlesbrough on a work trip for a few days. We wanted to dine in at a restaurant, so we came across this place online (Only really decided to go because the restaurant has my husbands initials and surname lol, so we wasn't expecting much). To our surprise, the restaurant had beautiful decor inside and out, the ambience of the restaurant was very relaxing, the food was absolutely delicious and the service from our waiter, brother Khurram was amazing Masha'Allah. Definitely recommend this place to everyone. It is family friendly, has parking behind the restaurant - must give reg plate when you enter the restaurant, they take cash and card, and importantly it's Halal Masha'Allah. Will definitely visit again soon Insha'Allah. =)

khurram excellent customer service they even have a prayer room upstairs

The food was nice everything was lovely the service was good the waiter kuram was such a good waiter making sure we had everything just a lovely experience would recommend

Very nice gentlemen, Khuram he helped our group gracefully

khuram is the best waiter ever he has great customer services very polite and welcoming

Me and my family loved this restaurant so much! It’s the first restaurant that came to my mind when we thought of taking our grandparents out as it has such a calm and friendly atmosphere and it’s very Muslim friendly. Their staff is very polite and calm. And their customer service is 10/10. Would definitely recommend to others and 100% go back again!

Food was okay. Staff is very polite and nice. Atomsphere is good. Will try again with different menu.

Khurram was very friendly :) nice decor

Very nice service! Khurram was very friendly and welcoming :)

Friendly service, excellent food. Would definitely recommend and return!

Nice food + Azeem served us and was very friendly

Fantastic service, the food is absolutely delicious. We have visited here many times for work meetings and meals.

I come to Alams often, and every visit is nothing short of amazing! The food is of the highest quality, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a delightful meal. A special shoutout to Khurram, who truly elevates the dining experience. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels valued and well taken care of. His attention to detail and genuine care for guests make for a 5-star experience every time. I highly recommend Alams to anyone looking for exceptional food and service! Thank you!

Thank you Khurram for the great food and service.

Thank you Khurram for the great food and services.

Very nice and spacious interior, fast & friendly service with amazing food choices! We were served by Khurram who made are experience graceful!

Went for the Alam breakfast for the first time. Portion sizes were massive! The omelette was delicious and the sides were also great. They didn't have hot drinks (aside from Karak Chai) which was a shame but I'll still come back again :)

I visited Sunday 3/11/24 Was promptly seated, given recommendations on what to order Food came promptly and was exquisite Thank you to the kind and attentive staff for their great service Clean and tidy decor 5*

Been coming here since I was 17. Here on my 21st birthday the food always gets better. Always trying new things on the menu and never disappoints! The staff are lovely and service is absolutely amazing!! 100% recommend

Uncle kurum was our server and he was lovely

Uncle kurum was our server he was very hospitable and amazing

The food is incredible, The stake was too good to be true, really juicy. I loved the service aswell really good staff and the restaurant is really clean. Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff, wonderful food

Lovely decor and atmosphere inside and out. Service was excellent with staff being enthusiastic and friendly. Food generally very good but some of the chicken tikka was slightly pink so could have been cooked more. Otherwise I would visit again.

Ideal para la comida DELICIOSA comida halal Muhammad Hashim fue uno de los mejores camareros rápido y muy educado Sin duda recomendaría este restaurante

Cakes are the best. Loved the service and food. Khurrum was very attentive and looked after our table well. Thank you

Lovely food and excellent service. Khuram was brilliant, was very attentive. 5 stars for him!!

Best Food And A Very Good Service.

The decor of the restaurant is nice and bright. Very spacious as well. The one member of staff very welcoming but others not so, in fact I don’t think they have been told that they should smile. Starter portions I thought were okay nothing that shouts out that they were amazing. ( Chicken Tikka, Samosa Chaat and Kasorti Boti) Main course we ordered Chicken Manchaurin it was okay chicken did not feel fresh. Lamb Handi not sure what that tasted like due to the garlic Nan overpowered everything. I felt the Nan were bought from supermarket and garlic added onto it and then place in the oven to warm up. Drinks ordered mango lassi and pina colada mock tail ended giving that back as tasted nothing like it should. The passion fruit and citrus drink was ok, I have tasted a lot better else where. Asked for tap water so that I could take my medicine and I was told that they don’t provide tap water. It is a basic human right they refused to give. Disappointed with the overall experience. I definitely would not recommend.

Very nice place and the food was wonderful very good place for family !

khurram was so friendly and welcoming on our first time the food was amazing and the atmosphere was so nice, would definitely recommend 11/10

Really enjoyed the experience here served by Khurram He really looked after us well and recommended us what was the Chefs special Would definitely come back for the customer service

We tried the Rahu Masala Fish and the Butter chicken with Naan. Crispy fried fish and juicy butter chicken. Great ambience and friendly service.

Just popped in on the way home to bewdley and what a find,beautiful tasting lamb dopiaza and wife had a malayan which was refreshingly amazing,we both have just said will definitely be eating there again,oh and the two gentlemen who served us were very nice and friendly

A special thank you to M. Hashim for his wonderful service. Also, don’t forget to try cheesecakes; they are so delicious! Highly recommend!

I'll start with the positives. Good decor and atmosphere. Apart from that nothing really amazing. We ordered Steaks and Chaat for starters. Chaat was nice. But was it worth the price, not really. Steaks were really tuff, even for medium and had pieces of cartilage. Peppercorn sauce I would prefer separately instead of on top of the steak. They don't serve tap water, which is a legal requirement by law. When we asked for food to be packed, the server didn't even pack it for us and gave us boxes. Apart from that the brother at the front was nice. Wouldn't recommend it for the price.

Decent food& outstanding customer service especially from Mohammed hashim, made our experience memorable and definitely will be coming back, as he acquired to our needs and took care of us :)

We love coming Alam. Always great food, their lamb achari is divine and the naan are amazing. The service and attention by Mohammed Arshaf was great. He was good in giving us recommendations, saw that food left over needed to be packed to go and without even asking brought the takeaway boxes and as we left , even though he was busy, he still had the etiquettes to say goodbye. These gestures make the experience lovely. Thank you Mohammed for your kindness

Delicious food, large portions and great service. Thank you to Mohammed Hashim. Variety of Asian and English dishes.

Excellent customer service by Mohammed Hashim, who is a polite, pleasant young man with a great smile and hospitality. Also, we had a Mix Platter that was really tasty and highly recommended.

Great food Muhammed Hashim provided us with great service

Closed, no phone line, it's an automated service, cannot speak to anyone and their opening times are wrong. They are closed when it states it should be open, what a wasted journey.

Went today on 15th oct and it was closed. Please don't mislead people.

Great service as always. Amazing food and it came on time. Very good service from Farhaan.

We had a lovely experience at the restaurant on a beautiful day out. The aesthetics of the restaurant were really appealing, with cozy yet modern vibes. The food was excellent- we tried both the vegetable and beef lasagnas, and they were delicious, perfectly cooked and flavourful. They also offer a Sunday roast, which is definitely something we'll be back to try. The service was fantastic, our waiter Mohammed Hashim was extremely attentive and all the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, a fantastic dining experience with great food and wonderful service!

*CASH/CARD ACCEPTED* Very nice looking restaurant and perfect for families. Garden area available, great if you want to take pictures. Price wise the starters are fairly price, you could almost say cheaper than the average. Whereas the mains are overpriced. You're looking at £15/16 for a regular size curry. Water you have to pay for. For starters we ordered the mix grill platter. Which was nice but portion size wasn't the biggest. Also ordered the lamb chops, wings and chicken pakoras which were really good. So overall, the starters were on point taste wise along with the sauces. Mains we ordered plain rice, biryani, garlic naan and meat achari. We wanted the Archari spicy and got told it would be hot but it was nowhere near spicy. Curries and biryani were average at best and wasn't piping hot. Price wise definitely wasn't worth it. We asked for a salad on the side and turns out we were charged almost £6 for a small salad. We got Mojitos which was the standard £6 price. However, drinks were also average and weren't the best so wouldn't order the mojitos. Water we had to pay for because they don't provide tap water. Desserts we got the chocolate fondant cake and carrot cake. They were probably the highlight out of everything along with the starters. The fondant oozed chocolate and was served with ice cold cream. Carrot cake was one of the best I've had, very moist and soft. Overall, not a place I'd visit again based on what you get for the price. Service I cannot fault. Khuram took care of my family and was there whenever we needed him and he always had a smile on his face. Had it not been for Khuram this place would have got 2*. Khuram is the heart and soul of this restaurant. Positives - ▪︎ Good Interior/Look ▪︎ Family Friendly Restaurant ▪︎ Nice Garden Area ▪︎ Dine In ▪︎ Parking Available ▪︎ Great Service ▪︎ Good Starters ▪︎ Great Desserts ▪︎ Waiter (Khuram) Negatives - ▪︎ Expensive ▪︎ Small Portion Sizes Compared To The Price ▪︎ No Tap Water Available

Great food and service from Mohammad Hashim

Mohammed hasheeb was great with our table

Excellent service and great food, Hashim and Azim were really attentive & even provided a complimentary cheesecake😊Definitely will be back.

It's a home away from home. The food tick the boxes.

I had a great experience at Alam. The decor was beautiful and created a lovely atmosphere. Mohammed Hashim was really nice and helpful. He made excellent recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a fantastic meal in a stunning setting. Highly recommend!

Very happy with the service especially from Muhammad Hashim

Go for the lamb achari gosh...highly recommended...naan, sauces and cheesecake were also nice. Great service from Mohammed Hashim, very kind and engaging

Ordered through Just eat, absolutely appalling. Raw chicken in the chicken biryani had to bin 3 whole portions that cost me £38 slimy raw chicken.

It’s a treat for your taste buds . Amazing food and hospitality

Very tasty and yummy food. Family platter was amazing and our host Hashim even changed the Salmon tikka with Lamb Sheekh. Nan with day's Achari was great too. Finally Jamun with Ice Cream made the day. Also parking is available at the adjacent Halal Supermarket which will be paid by the restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant and food. The staff are very attentive, thank you Mohamed Hashim for your excellent hospitality. Barakallahu feekum

Visited this place after long, the cheesecake on the house which was very kind of them. Service was spot on too!

Lovely food, service 10 farhan was an Amazon with us with his service, we even had treat from the restaurant. Recommended 100%

Fast costumer service the atmosphere was nice and we also got dessert on the house which was lovely

Masala fish was amazing and the chicken curry was to die for. It was quiet when we got there as it was early, I can imagine this being a nice vibe in the summer 💗 would recommend

Delicious food and best service highly recommended.

Had a lovely roast dinner chicken and lamb shank at Alama, our waiter Mohammad Hasham was exceptional, checked in to see how we were, food was on point, huge portions of food, couldn’t finish all of it that’s how big it was, cheesecakes were also lovely. Thank you

food very nice but went a little cold service was amazing very decorative no music no warmness Muhammad hashim was very hospitable and they have a shisha area and picture area overall very nice and good for occasions not very expensive

Amazing food very clean inside child friendly

Brilliant restuarant , lovely food, definitely try the nihari, desserts are good too

Excellent tasty food, would definitely recommend the nihari

MY MOM Started feeling sick after the nihari plz do not have it overall everthing else was amaizing especially the grilled chicken breast.

Was looking forward to this but what a let down fast service, servers very friendly but the food was a big let down. Microwaved starters, and Currys were nothing special the chips was the best part. And very expensive 4 people £180.

WOW!!! Perfect restaurant for any occasion/celebration. So visited today with my wife for our anniversary. For starters we opted for a Kastori Bolti and Samosa Chaat and for mains we went for the lamb biryani and Achar Ghosht along with 2 pina colada mocktails. First of all the service was excellent. Secondly The dishes were fresh, flavoursome and tasty. To sum it up Divine!!! And lastly we were given 2 gorgeous cheesecakes on the house which simply topped up a superb experience. Birthday next month, see you then!

First time eating in this restaurant. Staff was friendly. Restaurant is clean. The food was delicious. I usually don't like steak but I tried the steak, it had so much flavour and cooked to perfection. I will definitely return.

Excellent as always. Good food, nice setting and great service. Muhammed Hashim served us well. I recommend.

Mohammad Hashim Excellent Service.

Wow wat an amazing evening amazing service amazing food The person who served our table was an amazing individual (Mohammed asif) Keep up the good work and will be back soon.

1st time at the restaurant, food and service was amazing. Muhammed Hashim served us, he made sure everything was on point. We are from nottingham and will be coming again.

Family birthday meal - lovely experience

I am a frequent customer at Alam's because the vibe, service and aesthetic is the best in town. The food is always served with care, and waiters are always respectful and go above and beyond to show great customer service. Basharat is espeically great when it comes to dealing with customers, he always greets you with a smile and gives great reccomendations of the menu!

I'm so disappointed with the food quality and service. All I will say is please don't waste your hard work money in this place.

Was greeted pleasantly by staff who deserved some appreciation named Khuram. Food was spot on and service was even better. 100% recommend if your in Birmingham!

Lasagna was great. I also got great service from Khurruam. Would deffo go again

Great food, well priced and received very good service in particular from Khurram. Will be visiting again soon.
