Alam Restaurant Coventry Road

We had a fantastic experience at Alum. The food was absolutely amazing — full of flavour and beautifully presented. The mojitos were perfectly made, refreshing, and served ice-cold, just the way we like them. The service was impressively fast and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, and everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and top-notch service!

I had an amazing experience at Alum Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. What made the evening even more memorable was the exceptional service from Hashim, he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Hashim made sure we were comfortable the entire time and offered great recommendations that turned out to be spot on. His warm and professional attitude really stood out. Highly recommend Alum Restaurant for both the food and the outstanding service. Ask for Hashim if you go!

Alam has truly become our go-to weekend spot especially for its stunning garden area, cozy heated huts, and that magical moment when you walk in under the lights it honestly feels like you’ve stepped into a little hidden gem. The whole aesthetic is so well thought out, and I’m obsessed with the vibe, especially in the evenings. One thing I always appreciate is that they have a designated space for prayer, which makes dining here feel respectful and accommodating for all. It’s rare to find that kind of thoughtfulness in a restaurant, and it never goes unnoticed. The food? Always hits. We never leave without ordering the chocolate cake it’s genuinely the best I’ve had. This time we also tried the lamb kebab, and it was packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. You can really tell they care about quality. A special mention has to go to the owner the one who made the islamic quote above the door. He is hands down one of the kindest and warmest people I’ve ever come across in hospitality. His energy sets the tone for the whole place, and it’s what made us fall in love with Alam in the first place. However, I do want to be honest. On our recent visit, I brought my sister and had been hyping this place up to her all week. Unfortunately, the two male servers that evening let the experience down. They seemed disorganised, mixed up our order, brought drinks we didn’t request, and their facial expressions felt unfriendly which was disappointing given how consistently lovely the service usually is. The lady server, as always, was wonderful and welcoming, but it’s upsetting when part of the team doesn’t reflect that same energy. Despite this, I want to emphasise that we love Alam. We visit every Saturday, and we truly hope this was just a one-off. It’s a place we always recommend not just for the delicious food, but for the peaceful vibe and thoughtful atmosphere. I really hope to see that same warmth from the whole team next time, because Alam genuinely is something special. 💫
