Alams Lounge Indian Kashmiri Restaurant & Takeaway Barnsley in Barnsley

Came here for my dad's birthday for a family meal,, some of us came from Wakefield and some from Sheffield. All the staff were lovely and a 10/10 on service. The food was beautiful compliments to the chef. Would definitely come again and advise anyone who isn't from the area to try. All the kids enjoyed it too thankyou for putting up with us 😃 Bring your own booze🍻 but still serve water and soft drinks.

Came on a whim and was so pleasantly surprised! The most amazing friendly customer service and the food tasted incredibly fresh and gorgeous! The food came out super quick too!

Went for a friends birthday & it was lovely. Food excellent, staff courteous, lovely atmosphere couldnt ask for more. Would highly recommend 👌

Soooo disappointed 😞 had meals in the restaurant neumarous times and it was lovely but had a takeaway tonight & it was borderline awful ,cold skabby chips and a really watery bland curry sauce 🫤 I know how delicious the food is in the restaurant soooo upset it doesn't extend to their takeaway orders.

opted for the Chicken Karahi, a classic Pakistani dish, while my partner had the Mixed Grill Platter. The Karahi was a star — the chicken was succulent, cooked in a fragrant tomato-based sauce with a nice kick of spice. The portion was generous, and it paired beautifully with the fresh, hot naan bread served on the side. The Mixed Grill Platter was a carnivore’s dream, with juicy kebabs, and well-marinated chicken tikka. Each piece was packed with flavor, thanks to the restaurant’s authentic spice blends.

This Indian restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere and authentic dishes. The butter chicken is rich and flavorful, while the naan is perfectly fluffy. Exceptional service enhances the overall dining experience. Highly recommended.

Pleasantly surprised by how affordable this place is! Most Currys are under £15, and the portion sizes are generous. It’s a fantastic option for anyone looking for great food on a budget.” Not too much hustle and plenty Dishes to Choose and Staffs are very knowledgeable about ingredients such as Vegan, gluten and Allergen. We will be back again and highly recommend.

I really enjoy their food. Their staff's behavior is very good. Restaurant is neat and clean. I am recommending this restaurant.

As always AMAZING There are lots of options for a gluten free member of our party Highest recommendation

Just eaten lamb passander as a takeaway Too sweet by far Won’t be going again

Best butter chicken in town, authentic, excellent host and service. Don't miss and ask for desi style preparation.

Lovely experience. Good food and service. Some very loud customers but the restaurant can't be held responsible for them.

Great staff, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Amazing food, freshly prepared. This restaurant is in a league above the average Indian /Bengali places. Highly recommend it - I'll definitely be returning!

First visit and sadly our last. Onion bhaji overdone, nearly burnt, mains quite bland. No alcohol license and soft drinks expensive

Had a lovely meal tonight. The chicken was very tender. A lovely family restaurant and a most friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely family birthday meal at Alams lounge. The food was delicious and the owners/ waitress couldn't do enough for us. We took our own alcohol and birthday cake. The staff put a candle on top of the cake and sang happy birthday which I thought was a nice touch.

Lovely food with generous portions and very welcoming staff members. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back again!

Good food just let down tonight by delivery, order over 1 hour late which isn’t acceptable. They’ve taken too many orders and blaming the traffic! For now this has put me off ordering from here again.

Best in town. You wont kno unless you try it.

Fantastic food and service, lovely staff and atmosphere, had the special and really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend

Birthday celebration new years day .lovely start to the new year! Thankyou and happy New Year to all the staff!!

First time here tonight and we’ll definitely be back. The service was excellent and the food was the tastiest I’ve had for a long time!

The better half and I had a good experience here! Friendly staff and quality food. What's more to like.

Reese has been an amazing waitresses. Food , amazing, hospitality, amazing 👏 I would highly recommend to stop spending stupid money on takeaway when it's better to see a different four walls, and cheaper!! Loved it !!!!

Was disappointed with the food All our curries all tasted the same My first time here but it will be my last sorry It wasn't for me 3/10

We ate in. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

Had a great meal. Staff were friendly and polite. Service good and fast. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It's my third time here and it was tremendous again. Samosa was full of filling. The curry was a generous portion. The waiting staff were welcoming. Nothing bad to say about the place (other than £3.45 for a bottle of soft drink 😐)

Lovely place and food is top rate

We called in the daytime to check opening times. We wanted to specifically check if the 10:30pm closing time was correct as we had a show that evening. We arrived at 9:40 on a Saturday night and were rudely turned away with an attitude, after being told we would definitely be served on the phone. A trip there for nothing.

Very nice time last night. Food freshly prepared and cooked.

Ordered via takeaway. Food is quite nice, not the best by a long shot, but it's nice to see places utilising mutton instead of just lamb. Some of the spices do disagree with each other in my opinion when I ordered the mutton tikka naan. Peppers could be better if it had a softer texture. But overall decent and will be ordering again.

Take away, delivered well within the alloted timescale. Food was excellent.

Thank you so much to you all for an absolutely amazing night! You all did a fantastic job, it ran like clockwork (well for us, not sure how the kitchen was) food was exceptional as always, staff could not have done anymore for everyone, and as always it was a pleasure to have Abby and Lisa as our hosts! I was inundated with messages from my family and friends last night saying how gorgeous their food was and how fabulous the whole evening was. So, please from us all, give yourselves a huge pat on the back, you exceeded yourselves yet again! See you all again soon! Sorry the birthday boy and his friends weren’t in the photo but he was itching to get to town for his 1st legal pint, though he’s not feeling to clever about it today.

Mine was a take out, just moved into the area.. Was not happy with the food, low quality food, overdone dry chicken, no flavour in the sauce, watery, nan was still like dough.. was disappointed.. Shall not be going here again.. Very sorry but I believe in honesty..

Very nice curry. Really enjoyed it. The boss came round to check on everything, really nice chap. Thankyou.

Visited last night..warm welcome by everyone...delicious food..no long waits and very attentive staff. Nothing too much trouble.

Very very average food at best. Ours was a takeaway and the korma was extremely bland, yes it's a korma but was akin to a tin of chicken in white wine sauce (a stingy amount of chicken too). Rice and nan bread was good. Had a takeaway from here before and was so much better. They have definitely cut down on meat content imo👍

A Heavenly Halal Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a food enthusiast, it's always a delight to come across a restaurant that not only serves halal food but also exceeds expectations in terms of quality, service, and atmosphere. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alam's Lounge with my family, and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Despite arriving earlier than the restaurant's opening time, Abaz Khan graciously welcomed us and promptly set up a lovely table for our family. This gesture of accommodation was heartwarming and set the tone for the rest of our visit. He also checked-in and allow us to pray in their place. The menu offered a mouthwatering selection of Indian dishes, and we eagerly ordered Chicken Biryani Rice, Korma and Pilau Rice, Paratha Bread, and Mango Lassi. Each dish was cooked to perfection, with rich flavors and spices that showcased the culinary prowess of this restaurant chefs. The generous portions and reasonable pricing added to our overall satisfaction with the meal. Our waitress, Macey, truly went above and beyond in ensuring our comfort and happiness. Her attentive service, friendly demeanor, and helpfulness in providing a room for prayer made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Macey''s consistent check-ins and genuine interest in our satisfaction demonstrated her professionalism and dedication to customer care. In conclusion, Alam's Lounge provided us with a memorable and delectable halal dining experience. The exceptional food, warm hospitality, and attention to detail made it a perfect choice for our family. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an outstanding Indian culinary experience. Thanks Abaz and Macey!

Disgusting. Items missing from the order and when we phoned to let them know got terrible attitude. Was made out to be a liar. Food that did arrive was terrible. Cold, bland and watery. AVOID! In response to your reply I think you’ll find you didn’t speak to me, you spoke to my husband and I stand by the point that my food was disgusting, bland, cold and watery, with items missing. It’s funny how many negative reviews you’ve had and how many people you’ve have ‘barred’ from your establishment. Do you think maybe your attitude could be the problem? And with regard to ‘All your calls being recorded’ this wasn’t stated on by the call and as such consent was not given for it to be, which means you have now admitted to being in breach of GDPR.

Tonight I thought I would try Alams Lounge which is relatively local to me. I ordered a kabab starter, main, rice and chips. Unfortunately the chicken and Shish was rather dry and it’s safe to say the muscles of my jaw responsible for chewing got a hefty workout. Although the chicken in the main was cooked to a better standard there was a severe lack of it! When spending nearly £10 on a main from a takeaway I would expect reasonable compensation in the quantities of meat for my hard earned pennies. The meal was ultimately edible but lackluster which was a shame for me. I won’t be wasting my weakly cheat meal here again.

This restaurant is a cut above. Well prepared, quality food. Authentic and tasty. Lovely hosts and friendly staff. Beat a path to their door.

Azeem was a very good waiter excellent service

Great meal, excellent service, highly recommend 👍

Ordered a takeaway for 3. One of the items was missing. Other items were inedible. The chicken was dry. The naan looked like a pizza base drowned in oil. Extremely disappointed.

Five of us had a really delicious take away from Alam’s Lounge last night. We tried lots of different dishes and sides and all were generous, tasty and home made. The owner and staff could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend.

Foods are always Fresh, Big portion and Tasty. Best Restaurant in Barnsley. we have tried different places in Barnsley but always let us down. If you’re hungry expecting big portion of food which is best value of Money Then Alam’s Lounge for you.

The customer service is pathetic. I called them for ordering and asked what’s best they serve however the owner himself was on the call and sounded so rude. He reverted saying that all dished are good, you need to tell me quickly what do you want to order, we are very busy. It sounded as if he wasn’t even interested in suggesting or talking to the customer for taking the order. Its been twice that I have faced rude behaviour issue with this restaurant, forget about the food , at first instance only these people ruin your mood.

Really rude staff cheating on customer by main dish or side dish

Terrible service and do not place order if you want to ruin your dinner choice is your

Pathetic customer service rather accept their fault. to not check the order address in their system calling us we should tell address Pathetic food arrive came stone cold

Food and service is excellent, absolutely recommended giving this place a try.

DISMAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Called up this evening and was instantly told to wait 1 minute by the young lady answering the phone, this turned into 5 minutes and eventually being cut off. Called back instantly and was told to wait 1 minute again but this time was waiting 10 minutes. During this time I could hear someone arranging glasses, dealing with guests, serving drinks etc. I could hear a man asking the young lady whether a customer was on hold and her reply was “yes, I’m just seeing to table 1 then I’ll get back to them”, she never got back to me to take my order and neither did the man asking the question. I asked several times whether anyone was on the other line, trying to get someone’s attention to take my order, got bored of waiting and decided to hand up and call back a 3rd time. The young lady answered again so I explained that I’ve been on hold for 15 minutes in total and the response I got was “yes we’re really busy, what do you want”. This is not how you treat customers, no matter how busy you are. It takes less than a minute to take an order and clearly I wasn’t a priority. Such a shame, this has been my go to takeaway restaurant for almost 2 years now but based on this experience I won’t be returning. Well done Alams Lounge 👏🏽

Amazing food. Atmosphere prompt service and lovely staff. Highly recommend

Great food, great to see a place that openly shows what is gluten free on the online menu, came in handy and made ordering super easy.

Stopped off between Newcastle and Sheffield, wanted some good indian food. Only here alone, but they were kind enough to entertain me. Highly recommend Saag Paneer 'Desi style'. Do try!

Excellent. Had the Thali. Would come here again.

Been a few times on our own and with friends and never been disappointed, great food with friendly staff. Even better now the desert place is next door as you can finish off a great curry with waffles or crepes 😎

Loved our visit to Alums Lounge! The food was superb, very friendly service, wish I lived closer! Anyone thinking about visiting... do it... you won't be disappointed!!

Excellent food Rude staff You just get ignored Otherwise food was amazing tasty Would recommend it highly Staff maybe having a bad day

Delicious food as always. Just ask for Abbey Khan's special. Always nice and cosy place for a family eat-out.

Had a great meal and service from Alams lounge . It was my daughters pre birthday meal and my Brother was visiting from abroad. The staff couldn't do enough for us. My wife is disabled and relies on a wheelchair to get about. They were amazing really understanding and accommodating . The starters and main course were the best I've had . Well done and we will be calling again.

Absolutely fantastic beautiful food great service

Great food, personal service, pleasant surroundings. A must for Indian Food lovers. NB. Bring your own booze. Un-licenced.

If I could give 0 stars I would place is a absolute shambles and rude staff. Would not recommend.

Ordered from this restaurant before and always had good food however this time the food tasted bland and not to the usual standard. In addition, on this occasion to my wife's horror she found a used staple (yes you read that correctly) in her food! What made this even worse was that she only discovered it after the food was in her mouth. Very disappointing (not to mention dangerous) and so will not be ordering from here again.

Excellent menu choice...properly cooked and served. Fairly priced ...very good

My favorite restaurant right now food is fabulous really friendly staff. Highly recommend 👌

A bit disappointed with the restaurant,very cold atmosphere and the the music was like capital FM on in background and was very loud,not authentic one bit no alcohol served which was strange so opted for 2 bottles of coke we decided to eat elsewhere and paid for the 2 cokes.....£6.90 are you having a laugh??I said to one of the girls who didn't look interest one bit in working there,no wonder no body in....we left and went to darton balti which was far superior...not recommend restaurant bit

Superb food, great staff and a very entertaining owner manager.

Great food again, also we were offered new food that isn't on the menu as yet and was delicious.

Always great food and service, friendly staff and owner.

Delicious food, highly recommended xx

Good food, woth a lot of flavour. The waitress was really attentive.

A Beautiful place warm welcome very attentive friendly staff and fabulous food. Highly recommended.

It's been a while since I've been here but I'm sure the food has got better although not sure if that is possible.

First time i order from here bad experience, of course i will never order again, i found a rubber band in a green dish which was very hard to spot because it looks like a green pepper. Also besides that big rubber piece there is a small piece also, so who knows how many pieces are there in the food, therefore it went to garbage.

We loved the food and the staff was very attentive best Indian I've had on a long while

OK but I didn't like the Nann Bread and the Onion Baji. Not been for a curry for a while and I thought it was a little pricey

Went there with freinds amazing food nice and clean thank

Brilliant team and owner. Initially had issues with Uber Eats allowing me to order even though I am much too far for delivery - (the app measured the distance completely wrong). Understandably, the restaurant rang me to inform me they would be unable to deliver. However, causing further issues, Uber would not allow us to cancel the order and issue a refund. Despite this, the owner and drivers personally went out of their way to sort the problem and have agreed to honour and deliver the food. Outside of Uber creating problems for both me and the restaurant, the food is great and service absolutely fantastic. Can't recommend enough.

Great food and brilliant service 👏

Lovely friendly staff, great food,relaxed atmosphere

We had a meal today at Alams lounge for a family of four. Lovely food and fantastic service and we will return. Try the Cheese naan it's extra tasty.

Great food great staff would recommend to anyone

Ordered chicken tikka masala got chicken bhuna, no answer, to resolve.

Brilliant food as always sorry forgot to rate the stars

Fabulous service and excellent food. Spoilt for choice on an extensive menu. Loved the creamy mint dish

Absolutely outstanding Curry's from this place highly recommend. Would actually make the trip from hull to Barnsley just to come again!

We travel here from the far side of Doncaster (a two hour round trip) and its definitely worth it. Beautiful food (the chicken village special is worth a try), nice atmosphere and the young women serving coups not have been more helpful and attentive, as was the young man who took out payment at the end of the evening. We have continued to visit here since we moved to Doncaster 18 months ago and I don't see that changing, its worth the trip.

Excellent! Great menu and the food was great too all served by helpful friendly staff.

Food beautiful, service good also

Food was decent but very oily. The young women serving were brilliant. However, we were embarrassed in front of a full restaurant when the boss asked to check the labels on the drinks we had taken...and told not to drink one of them as it was non alcoholic. We should have been made aware of this on entry.

Best Curry House in Barnsley. Lovely food, bring your own alcohol, freindly saff, perfect night as always. Big thankyou Abby to you and your team.

Fantastic once again friendly staff, and brilliant food cheers.....

Great night, food was amazing, service was amazing. Staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

I don't often post reviews, in fact this is my first good review, ever. Tried Alams for takeaway as I was staying in hotel down road with no restaurant food available. I'm pretty reticent when it comes down to dishing out praise when service hasn't been outstanding, but this was probably the best takeaway food I have had for many years. Too much for a single person and I'm not keen to throw what I couldn't eat away.

Just finished our first takeaway from Alam’s lounge and it was very tasty! Portions were generous and well spiced.

Tonight had our first takeaway and it certainly wont be our last. Great food at great prices! Highly recommended

Amazing from start to finish. We had a bad experience from a different Indian takeaway and decided to try here for a change and so glad we did! We know where we will be going in future!
