Alam in Birmingham

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant thanks to our server Mohammed Hashim. He was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. He was very polite and offered to take a group photo of us, and he even sang my friend happy birthday which made the whole experience even more special. The staff were all very welcoming and friendly and were very helpful and polite. The food was very good and arrived quickly and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone.

Service was amazing. Had soo much fun. Soo welcoming and nice.

Mohammad hashim gave great service and was a delight

Well recommended perfect friendly service. Loved the food. Will go again. The car parking is a bit odd.

Alam is an absolute gem for food lovers seeking a delightful dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming ambiance and attentive staff set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. We tried chicken parmesan, chicken kebabs, lamb handi, lamb chops. The balance of flavors was impeccable, making each bite an absolute delight. The staff were friendly, attentive and quick to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel valued and well cared for throughout our visit. Highly recommended !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the roast dinner yesterday and the chicken smelt, but I still offered to pay for an exchange of the food which the owner/ manager agreed. But he kept refusing to beleive that the chicken was smelly !!! Need to listen to customers and provide quality food please .

I went for my birthday meal with family mix grill was nice. But the lamb buna was bland and definitely not buna the boys had chicken Parmesan which was dry and chewy and the dinner was the same dry and tasteless when I told the man I charge he said some people like other don’t what kind of a reply is that definitely won’t be going back

THey helpes with our friends birthday meal . Very supportive and food tasted wonderful.

it was nice and it’s a perfect place to have a birthday dinner at

Zawar Hussain, Tayyab and Sultan, they gave excellent customer service. Great food. Has an amazing experience at Alhamghir. Very highly recommend it.

5 stars for Khurum. Absolute brilliant customer service thank you.

Superb great and mouth watering dishes and flavoured and aromatic drinks and stylish flavoured food menu available from other countries too.I love it all .Bro keep it up.

Amazing food amazing customer service from all staff felt very welcomed. The atmosphere was very quiet and peacefully I really recommend family’s and friends to go there.

Amazing food and service was exceptional

The worst food I have ever eaten in my life. Waste of £50. The steak was disgusting. The mash was vile. The salad was stale and looked like it was taken out the bin before being put on a plate. The food was so bad I got ill. I was vomitting and had diarrhoea all night.

My stomach is still hurting from the food I had from here! I would not recommend the food to anyone tbh.

Very good experience here at Alams, We were greeted by very friendly staff whom took us to the new courtyard! Great place to take the Mrs with the atmosphere and good food. Bit on the pricier side but it's a good experience for special occasions.

Perfect food and services was perfect also Azim was really nice to us.

Ordered a lamb handi, chicken handi, chicken biryani and a samosa chaat Only positive was the lamb handi, meat was soft and tender and very tasty Chicken handi tasted mediocre Samosa chaat was below average Chicken biryani was super spicy and lacked flavour, not to mention minimal chicken in it Like I always say everyones taste buds differ and opinions are different but this is my honest opinion All in all, OVERPRICED for the QUALITY of food...

Excellent customer service beautiful atmosphere food quality is unbelievable delicious and tasty Basharat & Khurram very polite and helpful towards customers child friendly would recommend anyone to try any of dishes wouldn't be disappointed also plenty of vegetarian options as well spent £170 for 5 + people good sized portions will go there anytime 😉

We had a lovely experience at Alam Restaurant! The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was outstanding and all staff were extremely friendly. A special thank you to Muhammed Hashim who looked after us so well. Will definitely be returning to explore the rest of the menu!

Excellent food & Excellent service Basharat & Khurram was very polite & welcoming would definitely recommend it & was a family friendly atmosphere

Went to Alum today with the whole family and I can certainly say I'm extremely impressed by not only the amazing food we received but also by the amazing customer service we received from two of the best workers at Alum Basharat and Khurram. I would definitely recommend coming to Alums.

Definitely recommend coming to Alums. I went with my family and they didn't not disappoint not only did we receive excellent food. We also received amazing customer service from Basharat and Khurram.

Really enjoyed the food was hot & fresh & Bas was excellent customer service & welcoming

Food is okay but it is very expensive and has small serves and took very long to arrive

Amazing...nothing more needs to be said....best food ever

Visiting from London! Came for breakfast and it was amazing! We ordered the Pakistani Omelette and Cheese Omelette which was delicious. We then ordered the French Toast each and I must say it’s the BEST we’ve ever had! The Mango Lassi was tasty, and the Hot Mocha was so good! The staff were extremely friendly and polite. Free parking at the rear, just pop your number plate in the iPad upon arrival. We would certainly recommend and come back here for sure!

Absolutely amazing service was 10/10 had an amazing time absolutely recommended even brought out a cake and sang happy birthday was so loved and welcomed

The food is amazing and delicious I will love to come again

We was served today by Khurram and he was excellent. Made us feel welcomed super friendly deffo would return !

Absolutely amazing service by Khurram and Bisharat in particular! We had a great evening thanks to Alam, thank you!

The food, service and atmosphere was exquisite - the best in birmingham. Family friendly and very good quality and delicious food! We will definitely be back again!!!

Where to start? The staff there are completely lost. I asked for a menu and was told it’s only online, so I have to scan a QR code to get the menu; however, the table behind us was given a menu. Then once we were ready to place an order, we called the staff multiple times, and they just walked past us, and when they came to our table, they took forever just to take the order. Then the food arrived. The starters were pretty good, I must say; however, the actual food (mains) when they arrived, they were absolutely horrible. The mushroom sauce was excessive on the steaks, and the steaks tasted horrible; they were extremely chewy. Overall, my experience here was not as good as I thought it’d be, as when I walked in, I was walked into the back area where everyone was smoking shisha, which is pretty silly to take someone there without asking if they smoked or not. It is highly unlikely I’ll return here in the near future, if ever.

Busharat and Khurram gave a wonderful welcoming and attentative customer service. Great members of the team. Restaurant is a nice spot to come with family and friends.

Khurram made our experience so much better! Highly recommend coming here!

I went to @alam.restaurant again and don't fall for the same trap! They just have such a huge menu of all sorts of dishes but I wish I tried their proper desi dishes. Honestly don't fill yourself up with their mixed grills and sides, because this Nihari was brilliant. I've had the best Nihari's from Pakistan and this resonated with that. I didn't expect it to be this good. Even the biryani had a nice spice to it. What makes it even better is their naans are excellent. Thin with a nice toasted base. I did try new dishes on their menu such as the Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Tikka and wings - all pretty good and nice they have a good selection of western food for those that want it. Lots of "nice" looking spots I go to just don't have the real Pakistani food. The Nihari here was serious. Please try it and tell me I'm not mad because it was real authentic imo. I've come a few times before and what bought me back was their Achari ghosht which is excellent and now I've found something even better. Respect @alam.restaurant for doing some proper desi food 🙌

Customer service was absolutely amazing by muhammed hashim top guy

Very friendly staff specially suli , excellent food. Def come again

A real pleasure to visit Alam. Convenient parking facilities and really friendly and welcoming team...food portions and quality are top notch.

Food was fantastic, Khurram our host was very attentive and absolutely superb!

Khurram was AMAZING. 10/10 customer service. Will deffo come back!

Khurram was absolutely amazing. Such a lovely experience. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 🙏🏽

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!

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

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

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

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!!!!!

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

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

Very nice gentlemen, Khuram he helped our group gracefully

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

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

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

Thank you Khurram for the great food and services.

Thank you Khurram for the great food and service.

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!

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

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*

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 :)

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

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

Uncle kurum was our server and he was lovely

Uncle kurum was our server he was very hospitable and amazing

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

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 :)

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.

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
