The best restaurants serving Arabian food in Yorkshire and The Humber

Visitamos recientemente por mi cumpleaños. El restaurante era encantador, buena comida y personal amable. La coliflor crujiente sabía encantador, pero no era crujiente desafortunadamente. Las salchichas picantes de cordero eran preciosas, aunque solo 3 para dos de nosotros, 4 salchichas sería mejor! Los langostinos al ajo y al chile estaban súper (¡necesitábamos pan para trapear la sabrosa salsa!) compartimos las mejillas de res que de nuevo estaba preciosa. Tenemos que volver el próximo verano, ya que el patio exterior parece encantador para sentarse. El único inconveniente en invierno sería visitar los baños que se encuentran en el patio, necesitarían un abrigo! Pero no dejes que eso desanime a nadie, esto se debe a la disposición del edificio antiguo que realmente no se puede cambiar.

This small Tunisian cafe is tucked away in Leeds market, but definitely worth seeking out. It does fantastic food, and is great value. I eat here at least once a week.

Another visit to pink Poppadom, failed to disappoint. Attentive to detail and put right where disappointed. Excellent choice and range of food. Good meal and good value, great for groups. Will visit again

Great service by kind and friendly staff, the food was really nice and the sheesha was on point highly recommended 👌🏾

Great service and food was very tasty

Fantastic food. Service slow but very friendly staff. Very busy so pays to book beforehand

We came to try the Persian out as the reviews were good and it did not disappoint! We got the luxury selection for 2 which cost £42. This included 3x Meze starters, 2 Skewers of lamb and 1 of chicken, with a side portion of rice and yogurt dips for the main, then to top it off Persian tea and a slice of pistachio baklava for dessert. This was definitely worth every penny! It’s full of flavour and worth a visit. It’s a cosy environment and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. The chef even came out to say hello! Although it’s small it’s mighty!

Finally after 3 and half year of moving into the area and trying out alot of places for there kebabs, hands down this the best kebab I had in a long while. The special mixed kabab, when it came I thought what hell is this!! But it was absolutely delicious. The naan was equally nice. If you love kababs you won't be disappointed. Call handler taking order was pleasant and delivery driver got my food to me on time. They got a customer for life.

ALAMS LOUNGE Authentic Indian and Kashmiri Cuisine. 3 Hermit Lane, Higham. Barnsley S75 1PL Tel:01226 385252 Date of Visit 30th September 2024 On what must have been the wettest day of the year so far, I ventured Eastwardly to the interesting town of Barnsley south Yorkshire. Where town Planners have managed to weave their modern shopping centre with the old Sandstone architecture very successfully! Not many boarded up shops or derelict buildings. My mission on this occasion was to sample the delights of Alams Lounge on Hermit Lane. You will find this large sandstone building on the edge of a roundabout in Higham. Just outside the centre of Barnsley. Inside is a comfortable 50-seater restaurant on the ground floor, with Indian art adorning the walls and subtle lighting with a fish tank to keep you amused, makes a very comfortable experience. Its not licenced, BYOB! Here I first encountered one of the most proficient front of house managers I have ever come across in the form of Annie, a young (21 next month) Lass full of confidence and very professional Who was on the phone when I walked in, dealing with the ins and outs of a large party booking! Next the Chef Patron/Owner, of Alams Abbey, came out and introduced himself, as it was early and quiet we had a chance to converse at length about his restaurant and here was a man who was passionate about his customers and knew how to get the best out of his spice box. “Fresh is the answer” he explained, “Yes Fresh “And as an ex-chef, I could not agree more! I order from my Benchmark, Popadom’s with pickle tray. To be honest nothing out of the ordinary here. But crispy and very fresh Pop’s. Next out was the obligatory Sheekh Kebabs, two tubes of perfectly spiced rolls of minced lamb and herbs that melted in the mouth, sat on a bed of fresh crispy salad. Then the Mains of Chicken Madras with Pilau rice and a peshwari naan. This is where the word FRESH comes in, as I say this is a man who knows what his spice box is all about! Large chunks of fresh succulent chicken in a thickish spicy tomato and onion curry sauce, Here the use of fruity Fresh chillies make all the difference, the spices had been roasted to bring out their unique Flavours and believe me it was perfect. Next let’s turn to the Pilau rice, A long grain variety of Basmati rice with the addition of Cumin powder and seeds made a tasty and better Pilau rice! Now then let’s talk about the Peshwari naan, Fresh and light with a sweet filling of coconut and a drizzle of Golden Syrup on its surface. This just cuts through the heat of the madras. It’s not to everyone’s tase I admit, its sticky and a bit messy, but the efficient Annie sorted that out by producing a lemon wet wipe to clean up my fingers. Annie is embarking on a career as Cabin crew with an airline in the near future, Abbey will miss one of his best assets, but all the very best to Annie, I’m sure you will succeed! So, was it worth the long drive through a day of continuous heavy rain? And still the same on the return journey! Hell yes, there is a reason that this restaurant is number one on Trip advisors’ Indian restaurants in Barnsley. I’m not too sure about that as I have not tried any of the others! There is a small car park right opposite the restaurant. Pricing a bit heavy at £39.70 but for the quality here, is more than acceptable. I was going to give 9/10 for this establishment due to the fact they don’t do Alcohol, but No, I think it’s worth 10/10

Great authentikc food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Food very nice the staff is very nice love this place…..

Nice food, reminded us of our travels in Thailand. Great with my allergies and had a lovely mocktail menu. Definitely going to be back.

First time visit but will definitely be back. Quiet went we went in at 6 on a Saturday, but soon filled up. We ordered 3 mixed starters to share and for mains, various different kebabs and sea bass. Everything was good, especially the lamb fillet, which was really tender and full of flavour. Sides served were enormous - chips, rice or naans. Would like to try some of the Persian stew dishes next time. Small free car park around the back and take note that it is cash only.

Amazing chapal kebab, not super great of a place to sit and have food but the food itself is to die for. Recommended.
