Alam in Birmingham

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.

*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

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!

Mohammed hasheeb was great with our table

Food is good service excellent hashim. And Hashim was very helpful.

Great food and service from Mohammad Hashim

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Delicious food and best service highly recommended.

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

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

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

Amazing food very clean inside child friendly

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

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

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

Excellent tasty food, would definitely recommend the nihari

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.

Mohammad Hashim Excellent Service.

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

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.

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.

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!

Family birthday meal - lovely experience

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.

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

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!

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

Visited from London based on a recommendation. Arrived at 12:30 on a Monday for breakfast, but it was closed despite posted hours saying open until 1:30. No one answered the phone either. Please update your hours to avoid wasting people's time!

Alam Restaurant offers an absolutely wonderful dining experience with a beautiful atmosphere that sets the mood from the moment you enter. The customer service is friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming ambiance. One unique feature is their modern approach to ordering—guests must scan a QR code to access the menu online. While this system is innovative and convenient, it can make it a bit harder to compare items compared to a traditional printed menu. As for the food, it was delicious! I opted for the Sunday roast, which was not only flavorful but also incredibly filling. The restaurant offers high-end dining at reasonable prices, making it a great option for both a family and friends outing. Highly recommend a visit!

Fantastic service and delicous food We were well looked after by Khuram and the team

Khurram was a nice waiter and the customer service was good . Very excellent

Good service, especially from Khurram!!.

I really enjoyed going to Alam for my Little niece birthday. Mainly because of how amazing the customer service was. Specially muhammed hashim made this experience so much more memorable by offering my niece of 3 a cup cake and sang for her, therefore my little niece felt special on her birthday and will forever remember. Thank you 🤩

Visited Alam 3 times for breakfast but found it close with no one responding to calls. Not sure if they have closed for breakfast now, they should update google as it has confused it 3 times now.

Lovely food, excellent service from Khuram.

Great service from khurram and amazing food, one of the best places to eat at in Birmingham.

Amazing service by Khurram he was very attentive and made sure me and my friends were enjoying overselves✨Super delicious food😋 Overall had a great time🔥

Average food, overpriced , service giving low points as they are pushing to introduce scan table, order online. That looses the purpose of service and dining in... I am better of ordering delivery from home then ordering online whilst I am in the restaurant.

Azeem was a fantastic server at the restaurant. Treated us very nicely. Brilliant work all round.

Food was excellent! Mohammed hashim has been great at his service to us!

Average food service was bad really disappointing

Food is good has him best service

Awesome Service from the staff especially Muhammed Hashim & Bhai Khurram, spectacular food and brilliant atmosphere. Definitely will be coming again.

Average tasting food. Not worth the money.

Great Pakistani food, chef is from Lahore so you know it’s going to be good. I recommend the roghni naan and achari karahis. Service was good, hashim was very welcoming and took care of us

Great service from Mohammed Hashim!

I recently visited Alam for afternoon tea, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The food was outstanding, offering a wide variety of options that left us more than satisfied. From savory bites to sweet treats, every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. What truly made the experience even better was the selection of unlimited hot drinks. The white hot chocolate was rich and indulgent, while the chai latte was perfectly spiced and comforting – both were absolutely delicious. A special mention goes to our host, Khurrum, whose hospitality was exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable, with his attentiveness and warm demeanor making us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, it was a lovely afternoon that exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be returning for another round of afternoon tea at Alam. Highly recommended!

We traveled from London to stay a weekend in Birmingham and saw a lot of good reviews for this place. Looked small on the outside but inside was nice and clean and a lovely garden at the back. The staff were amazing and polite. Our waiter was Mohammed Hashm who was very attentive and helpful. He took our order for us and recommended the lamb ghost which was amazing! we were glad he gave us good suggestion. The food came really quick and was fresh and tasty. Good portions and very nicely presented. He kindly let us know he was going on duty upstairs and even brought us over complimentary desserts. We were absolutely amazed by his kindness and hospitality. Would definitely return again. Gardens were lovely for photos too.

Absolutely delicious food and the staff were brilliant. I highly recommend the keema nachos. Will definitely be coming back.

I decided to go for dinner with my family, haven't tried Alam before however heard all the rage on social media. When I stepped in it was lovely and the interior is nice. The menu was very underwhelming and mediocre, nothing that stood out to me. I had to order a basic burger, my wife ordered the same and the bottom of her burger was cold and she had raised concerns with the waiter and all he said was what do you want me to do about it? I will not be revisiting this restaurant again because of the lack of flavour, mediocre menu and lack of customer service. thanks

Firstly I would like to say the service was 10/10, great manners, very well mannered, the hospitality was amazing, the food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend 👌🏾😋

My husband wanted to go to this restaurant for a long time as we kept seeing all this amazing advertising on social media. My boys ordered pasta dishes as they do. The one pasta dish all it had was the four cheese thrown into it no sauce just cheese very tasteless even 12 year old said it’s very dry. This is a kid who loves pasta. We ordered the nachos with keema which was nice. I ordered a samosa chaat nice but very little imllee sauce put on a little side when it should be over the samosa with practically 6 seeds of promegrante which is what adds flavour to the chaat I was disappointed. The boys ordered milkshakes no cream, no sprinkles of sauce to give it that restaurant look. I asked the waiter about peanut allergy which my son has he seem to have little knowledge but the menu was clear as it’s online which I didn’t like. We had a lamb achari which was very nice but could hardly taste that achari taste just tasted like a lamb curry, naan were perfect. I don’t we would be returning again there. Overall I was disappointed.

Azeem provided great service. Nice food and recommend attending.

Alam Restaurant in Birmingham is a true hidden gem. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with elegant decor that creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxed meal. The service was outstanding – the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, with a range of authentic dishes full of flavor. If you’re looking for a place with great food and exceptional service in a lovely setting, Alam is definitely worth a visit.

Really disapointed to be honest. Ordered ribeye steak and a mixed platter, ribeye was chewy with no seasoning, Mixed platter has all the same seasonings in the meats just very boring i wont be in a rush to come back.

Just visited Alam’s after quite a long time and I must admit the restaurant has done a complete 180. My first visit wasn’t so great and there were a few things lacking, however after visiting this time round, I have seen some great changes that really make the place stand out. Love the courtyard side of the restaurant, it was warm, cosy and has a nice aesthetic. The food was really lovely as were the drinks. The service was fantastic as every need was adhered to and everything explained on arrival by really polite staff, food also arrived promptly. Parking is plentiful as they have a shared parking space with the supermarket next door, situated on grange road. Very convenient as parking is an important factor for me. Complete turn around for me on this one. Impressed and will be returning.

We been served by Mohammed hashim he did his best to make sure our stay was very pleasant. Also I must say he did take good pictures also. Definitely would be coming here again

From the moment we walked in to this restaurant we were greeted by Mohammed hasham . He had very good hospitality skills from get go. He made our first time experience to Alam restaurant a very pleasant one. The food was lovely chicken was warm which was nice. They had a place where you can wash your hands before you eat so you did not need to go into toilets to do this which was nice. Very clean place.Thank you hasham and rest of great team at Alams restaurant for making our first experience at the restaurant one to remember. We Will be back 😊 inshallah .

We came all the way from bristol and the food was top tier! Service was amazing waiter kept checking on us. Do recommend coming

Went for the outdoor eating experience. Disappointed to be honest. Loud constant machinery noise, plants dying, not well maintained and it shows. The food was okay, nothing I'd come back for.

Amazing Sunday Roast today. Had the chicken poussin, perfectly seasoned, service was brilliant too.

Food and the service was really good!! Can’t wait to come back to try different things

My family and I were serve by Khurram which costumer service it’s been really good. Food was delicious and came out in the right time. Fully recommend this place promised no regrets at all.

Amazing food and exceptional service by Khurram. Absolutely Amazing. A defo recommend 🥰

Had amazing experience with friend . We served fast and food was superb! Lovely spot to enjoy a meal with family and friends! Especially shout out to the manner at the time he is extremely friendly and welcoming

The food was great . Everything tasted fresh and flavourful. We had a mix of starters chicken pakora , tandoori wings , lamb chops and seekh kebab and samosa chaat . For the main we had archari ghost which was really nice and the naans were so soft and fresh . The kids loved the mocktails . The service was also great we had Muhammad Hasham attending our table and he made us feel very welcome and comfortable. He was very helpful and made sure all ours needs were seen to he also gave us some cheesecakes to try which were also really nice. Overall the food was a little costly but I guess you pay for the quality.

The food was nice and tasty. The spot is located in a very nice shopping area. The people were very friendly.

Excellent food .. service superb by Khuram bhai 👏

Very nice workers and food was relish

Mohammed Hashim served me and my family today and we had an amazing time with the great service. The portion sizes are really good and filling and the food tastes amazing.

Food And Service could be better.

11/10 service, staff checked in on us multiple times throughout. Food was amazing with the tender lamb and chops and tasty biryani. Well worth a visit!

The service from Khurram was amazing

Basharat Bhai and the rest of the staff were very welcoming. Basharat Bhai took us around the place as it was first time. Food was amazing Achar Ghosht is recommended!
