Alams Lounge in Barnsley

Really happy with the food and early delivery - bonus!

Best food in barnsley take away

Really nice!! Ordered a few times now and it's always been really tasty and online or early.

Food. Little later than expected but absolutely delicious

As visitors to the area, we asked a local friend what Indian Restaurant they would recommend. They recommended here (which we would not have discovered without their help), and we were certainly not disappointed! Our dining experience was truly excellent from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and our server (Sam) could not have been more helpful. The food itself was WONDERFUL! The main dishes were flavourful and well spiced without being over seasoned (we chose Chicken Paneer and Garlic Chilli Chicken) and the garlic coriander nan was to die for. Everything we ordered was very good value and we were pleasantly surprised when the final bill arrived. Even the rather loud group we dined adjacent to (hardly the venue’s fault) did not distract from our excellent evening. Thank you Alams Lounge for a lovely dining experience!!

Food was so good here and very well priced. Pickle tray was amazing to start. The starters huge and the curry's so well made. Service from all was good and a nice family atmosphere. We got a peshwari naan and honestly we would drive back from Leeds again for it

I went with a group of friends. There also was another large group in the place with some tables empty. The service was very good, no complaints there. There is a huge selection of dishes to choose from. I ordered Chicken Makhani and a Keema Nan. The nan was quite pleasant. The Chicken Makhani is described as medium strength. It came in a good sized bowl full of a fairly bland gloopy sauce with a few pieces of chicken lurking in the bottom. The chicken tasted as if it was precooked and reheated so was not pleasant at all. It did not add any flavour to the sauce. Despite there not being much chicken I left some because it was not good to eat. Maybe a more spicy sauce may have disguised the unpleasant flavour. A loud smoke alarm type noise kept going off frequently but it seemed to be very close to our table, not from the kitchen. I had heard good reviews about the restaurant but I have no desire to return.

Good honest home cooking. Loved the food and so nicely cooked. Mutton tender, samosas amazing. Excellent service by Reeve and bring your own a bonus. Booked again

A really lovely Indian restaurant, I mean the best one in Barnsley! From the stater to the main everything taste terrific a proper quality homemade cuisine. We will be back for sure.

Great great food and lovely warm service. Thank you for having us, we'll be sure to visit next time we're passing for more delicious food.

Very nice but a tad on the cook side

Visit with my family & all the courses we had were delicious, nice sized portions & came out hot. Staff were all very friendly & providing good service. Thanks for lovely meal, will return & recommend

Oh my gosh! The best Indian I’ve ever had and gluten free too! I’ve now found my favourite gluten free Indian and it’s worth the 20 minute drive there and back :)

Arrived cold chicken was processed and bland curry was thin and weak

This was our first order and we were very impressed with the quality of the food. Everything was perfectly cooked and we will definitely be ordering again!

excellent food, highly recommend!!

Lovely atmosphere, very cosy and warm place. Staff very helpful, portions were just right. The food was very good, authentic and flavoursome. The vegetarian options were really nice. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food and lovely service. It was obviously important to them that we were satisfied. We will definitely be going back.

Fantastic food and service, lovely staff and atmosphere, we’ve had different meals each time and all been lovely, had the special his time for a change and really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend.

Horrendous service from the restraunt. It is NYE so we completely understood there would be a delay but they told us different stories everytime that I was still being cooked or it was with the delivery driver. I rung up the final time and was told it was in the kitchen but then the delivery guy had delivered it as she said this. HORRIBLE PEOPLE

My partner is a regular here and brought us for two course dinner. The staff were lovely from phoning to book, welcome and service. The food is always high quality, served hot and fresh and the menu has a great range. Mango Lasi to begin was delicious, we all had prawn puree, which is offered as spicy or creamy, not something I've seen before. The environment here is comfortable, relaxed and friendly. You can bring your own alcohol drinks therefore all budget can go towards the tasty food. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent chefs! Love ordering food from Alams, whether it’s takeaway or sit down service it’s always amazing food! Had the tastiest chicken tikka masala ever tonight! Lisa provided excellent service along with the others tonight. Thank you and see you again soon!

Best korma I’ve ever had. Delivered quickly, very nice food. Definitely recommend

Korma was cold upon arrival even though it was on time, could barely eat the chicken as it tasted cold

Ordered previously and enjoyed it but this time we weren't impressed. Soggy poppadoms, miserly pickle tray. Barely any mince in the keema naan. Can understand that ingredients are expensive but that wasn't a good quality meal.

The food was very tasty and the hospitality was really special. We had a memorable meal and the staff made the experience extra enjoyable.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit with friends. Excellent food which draws us back, as well as welcoming people and efficient service.

I order the Matter Paneer dish because it is quite mild bit tasty. This was unbearably hot for my palate. It’s a real shame because I always order this dish and haven’t been able to eat it.

What a great idea to serve a thali . You pick your main curry. The chef gives you 3 sides of vegetables of his choice a nann bread and a salad. I was blown away with the tastes. Loved it thank you. We will gor sure be coming back

We found Alam’s a couple of months ago and have been almost every week since. We eat out for curry quite a bit and I can honestly say it’s the nicest curry we’ve ever had. Have tried many things on the menu and never been disappointed. Cannot believe a previous review that states no taste, it’s completely the opposite in our opinion. All of the staff are lovely and welcoming, nothing is too much bother. Our only complaint is that they don’t open 7 days a week :-)

Nice food, great service with really friendly staff. The atmosphere is good although just a tad on the bright side

Once again pickle tray missing , food not as good

Food was absolutely beautiful the bhuna really nice naan was perfect. The Popadoms weren’t the best slightly soggy and really skimpy on the mango chutney, although the curry was beautiful the portion was tiny I thought after spending £30 there would be enough for 2 people but unfortunately there weren’t and we were left with a lot of dry rice. I would order again but would have to purchase 2 curry’s which isn’t great considering the price but overall food was really nice just portion sizes not g

Ordered takeaway which took an absolute age to come meaning everything was cold when we got it. Liked the onion bhajis but there was in no way enough raita for two bhajis (and no it hadn't leaked!)

Tasteless. Never had a curry with zero flavour before, didn’t know it was possible. Can’t believe this is the best rated in barnsley. No spice shouldn’t mean no flavour. Pilau rice zero flavour too. Stick to Akbars Rotherham

Was told it would be delayed but it came on time. The food was hot on arrival. Beautiful food, will use again. Thank you

Lovely meal, great choice, presentation and taste. Relaxing atmosphere and excellent customer service. One of the team heard me wish my 81 year mum a happy birthday, at the end of meal they appeared with a lovely ice cream for her. She was made up

Great quality. great flavour and I will get again.

Lovely food delivered on time. Thank you.

Asked for delivery at a certain time and it was delivered almost to the minute at the time I requested. The food never fails to disappoint. I am a long standing customer for a reason.

Food was poor. Most of it was cold when it arrived

No complaints. Great food . Hot on delivery. 👍

A tall and handsome chef came to serve the most delicious cuisine I have ever tasted before! I would highly recommend - love from Barbados

Amazing food! Best onion bhaji ever and a peshwari nan marvellous. Brilliant staff can't do enough to please you.

They delivered the wrong food initially so I refused it. Then it came half an hour later after it been delivered to another home first, which I refused because it was opened by the other home. Then it was delivered again an hour later and it was cold!!!! So I am very unhappy with tonight’s service. I order from Alams every time I have an Indian takeaway and I had guests tonight so I insisted that we ordered from Alams. But obviously it all went wrong.

Most inconsistent take away restaurant ever this place. Never know what you’re going to get. When it’s nice its fantastic, but let’s itself down too many times to the point I think this is my last one Soggy onion bhaji, with dry chicken tikka starter. Pickle tray which consisted of half a small pot of rhaita, and 3 small tubs of red onion chutney! No mango, no onions! The most bland ‘ roghan Josh’ I’ve ever had, which consisted of zero tomatoes, and sauce like water! Chicken tikka massala was ok but you’d be hard pushed to get that wrong, surely !

Came to Barnsley for the weekend found this little gem food was absolutely delicious staff really friendly and helpful definitely recommend 5* quality

Awesome food, with warm and friendly service by Lisa. Chicken taxi was lush. Super fresh, super tasty food that was such a surprise to find 2 minutes off the M1. Our 8 y/o was thoroughly entertained and Sonyas village chicken was one of the best dishes she has ever had. Just like Arnie said, We will be back!

Lovely food served piping hot and delivered a lot earlier than stated. Always great service, thank you!

The food was lovely however we didn’t get the chicken pakora that was ordered, We recieved onion bhaji . We have ordered from here many times and no mistakes previously and the food has always been lovely so wouldn’t stop us from ordering again.

Hosting a birthday celebration at home for friends we decided to order in from Alams and we could not have been happier with our order. Delivery was quick and the food was hot on arrival. All our dishes were well cooked with good amounts of chicken. Really tasty food would most certainly order from here again.

Always top class food from Alams Lounge thanks

First order. We will definitely be ordering again. It was great.

In chicken korma you expect to get more than 4 tiny pieces of chicken. The pilau rice is like fried brown rice. Ctm was ok. Will not use again

Went with my husband, Son, Daughter and her boyfriend, for my birthday. The food was beautifully cooked, but was a little confused over receiving tandoori chicken tikka starter in the form of a seek kebab. Our 12 year old loves king prawns, but found them way too spicy to eat. The two 16 year olds thought the food was nice. The chicken tikka main was beautiful and the mutton Balti, the pathia was lovely, but tasted more like a masala to me, Overall would recommend, Our kids are very fussy and light eaters. The service was very attentive and polite. Just make sure you only order what you can actually eat!.. as we brought a lot of ours home, which was not a problem. The young gentleman serving us was fabulous, nothing too much trouble. Drinks turned out quite expensive for us having kids who down them like they are free! But we we’re able to take our own alcoholic beverages, which I feel is a blessing cost wise.

Excellent food, fast delivery (about 30 minutes, I asked for asap and was initially given an hour). Never had a bad meal from Alams Lounge.

Stumbled across Alams Lounge on our 1 night in Barnsley and loved it. The food was delicious and the onion bhajis were truly a specialty.

Food was quite nice but they put a freezing cold can of Coke sandwiched between the curry and naan bread, so by the time I got it home it was stone Cold!!

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 Abbey 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 too clever about it today.

Recently visited as a group outing after work. Our coworker is a local to the area and brought us there. The service was amazing, the owner and staff kept us entertained and explained every dish for us. All of the food was amazing, I loved...

This is an outstanding Kashmiri restaurant in an unlikely position. There are so many indifferent 'Indian' restaurants and the menu here did not look that special. But everything here was cooked with care, the flavours were spot on and no two dishes tasted alike. The...

Wanted to eat in as we were visiting family in the area but it was booked out for a party. So we ordered a takeaway to bring all the way back to the top side of Doncaster. We moved away from the Barnsley area in...

Used to go to ALAMS Lounge regularly before we moved to the topside of Doncaster in 2019. Since then we have been back several times to eat in with family but this time we collected a takeaway as the restaurant was reserved for a party. Very happy to say the food is still of a very high standard and we hope to eat in there again in the near future. We have not found an Indian restaurant in Doncaster to match it !

The customer service was excellent! Best curry I’ve had in a long time! Perfect blend of heat and flavor!

Alams food is always top shelf, Arabian mutton is out of this world

Tonight, I took a party of 15 guys from my golf club to this restaurant. The food and the service were nothing short of excellent. Every member of my party enjoyed their food. I would not hesitate to return to this lovely restaurant. A big...

Food was poor quality very oily & lacked flavour Chicken was tough Would not order again

Wasn’t expecting the curry to be cold, rice burnt and the salad to have wilted. After a 2 hour delivery on a Thursday night not sure we will be back. Such a shame after reading previous good reviews.

1st time ordering and both the food and service were excellent. Will definitely order again. Thank you

Usually great food but disappointing tonight. Two missing items, dry chicken and fatty mutton.

Please, please, please don't ever stop or change your butterfly king prawn. The best!

Fantastic restaurant, best Balti we’ve ever tasted, very wide and varied menu marvellous service and excellent value for money thank you

We popped in for dinner on 18th May. The food was excellent. Well worth a visit. We were served by Sumaia & Annie they were very good and chatty and we spoke about the area in general. They don’t have a drinks license which is...

Always top notch food from Alams lounge,thankyou

We had a delightful time. We were with our son who has autism with a number of his brilliant staff. There were 9 of us in all. Service was excellent given the size of our group. The food high quality. Our son had a lovely...

Madras sauce watery. Salad with bhaji was only lettuce no cucumber or tomato

Lovely food as always! Best Indian takeaway around 👍

I searched through Tripadvisor while on a business trip to identify a quality Indian restaurant. I quickly stumbled upon Alams. All I can say is this has to be one of if not the best Indian restaurant I have been in. I hadn’t booked a...

Love the food from here. Never late on delivery. Usually 30 minutes after ordering

Brilliant food and we are very picky when it comes to indian food

Still our favourite takeaway. If they could remember the boiled egg I pay £1 extra for in my Tikka Masala that would be great. It must be the fifth time that it has been missing even though it is clear on each receipt.

Excellent food and service here. Been many times and the hospitality and cuisine are second to none. Will be back again soon.

Great food is backed up by excellent service and it really is 5*. We haven't been for while but decided to take my inlaws as they were visiting. We were met with a smile and the staff were simply excellent. Our party were undecided so...

Unfortunately the food was cold and it was rather greasy 😕

Food was due at 8:10pm and didn’t arrive until gone 9pm refund needed!

We have been regulars at Alams Lounge for several years. We keep going back again and again because the quality of the food is second to none. The combination of spices, herbs and of course, meat, give a mouth watering sensation. The intimate restaurant and...

Oh My! Such delicious food from staff who really care. We haven’t been here for a while and we forgot how delicious the food is. We will definitely be back soon.

Such a lovely evening with attentive staff and superb food! Really pleased that we have discovered this place and we are definitely going to return soon.

1st time ordering, gorgeous tasting food will be ordering again thankyou

Great food! Lovely flavours - the bhajis were really good. Would definitely recommend.

This was our first visit and it exceeded our expectations. Lovely meal, staff are so helpful and kind. We will certainly be back!

Incredibly tasty food in very generous portions. A very pleasant evening, and staff went above and beyond to make our evening complete. Could not recommend this restaurant more highly.

Great service and top quality as always thanks!

We’ve eaten here a few times and always had an excellent meal. Our daughter is vegan and not a fan of very spicy food - they were great and talking through various options they could do for her. Would definitely recommend!

1 item was missing. Food was mediocre at best. The naan was extremely greasy not pleasant.

Our favourite Indian! They have the best onion bhaji!

Spot on lovely food and service

Nice curry rice and naan . Bhajis a Little burnt though and soft popadoms.

Food was freezing as out on way so long, no rice it was missing. What’s an Indian without rice! The curry was swimming in grease , the popadoms soft, the bahjis were black . Only good thing was the bread. The chicken tasted weird!! I’ve ordered here so many times as normally really good but not again. Really disappointed, called restaurant said sorry they were busy!! Is that excuse for poor, cold and missing food
