Babar Elephant - Lancaster

We have eaten at some babar elephant, but that was by far the best, all four of us commented on served over the big food. Pity that they have closed the restaurant fence, which was very good and better from any reason than foulridge. the same menu, but not the same taste

Not only is the atmosphere and service great but the curries are some of the best in Lancaster. It's reasonably priced and the sheer variety of dishes makes me go back again and again to try different dishes. Can't recommend it enough.

Service very good, can't fault it. But taken back by the bill. We eat out regularly and won't call myself a skin flint, but have never paid so much for a meal before.

Very disappointed! We visited on 27th July to celebrate our wedding anniversary after being recommended to this restaurant. We hadn't booked a table but thought that as it was a Wednesday evening at 6.40 it wouldn't be overly busy. We were shown to a table and ordered drinks. About ten minutes after this a waiter took our food order. After this we waited, and waited, and waited!! No food arrived. My husband queried how long the food would be and the waiter said he would find out. When he returned he said as we hadn't ordered starters the people who had would be served before us. He said he didn't know how long our order would take before we were served. So we paid our drinks bill and left. So to celebrate our anniversary we ended up going to anniversary establishment next door to the Babar purchase a take away. Very, very disappointed as we had high hopes for this restaurant. Not on our list to revisit after our experience there.

Fantastic place, very attentive and motivated staff. Decent portions and good quality ingredients. Certainly above average on the heat scale so I could just about cope with my madras but a jalfrezi would have been too much I think!
