Social Profile: 
Welcome to The Babar Elephant — a restaurant that has quickly become a beloved favourite across the City of Lancaster and beyond. Nestled within a landmark building dating back to 1686, our home was once the historic Lancastrian Hotel. Today, it has been thoughtfully transformed and beautifully refurbished to reflect the exquisite Indian cuisine we are proud to serve.
Our décor is contemporary yet sympathetic to the building’s remarkable heritage, creating a space where timeless character meets modern elegance. The moment you step inside, you’ll be greeted by our breathtaking 10-metre stained glass window, which bathes the restaurant in soft, natural light and sets the warm, welcoming atmosphere we’ve become known for.
Contemporary restaurant in 17th-century building with exposed stone, for traditional Indian cuisine.

Went for partners birthday. Absolutely spot on. The staff were so attentive and made you feel special. It felt more like dining abroad on holiday. Staff so helpful, introducing themselves and being there when needed. Food was lovelly and so was the venue. Will definitely be back. No negative comments at all.

Amazing food and service.
Cannot fault the place.
While staying in Carnforth, we checked out reviews on the local facebook page. Everyone rated BarBar in the local area.
We weren’t disappointed, fresh good tasting food. The Cobra beer was probably the best pint of Cobra I’ve ever had.
Everyone of the party of 9 were very impressed.
Well worth a visit.

Genuinely the best customer service I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Came for my 21st birthday and was given a free dessert and a free drink. All the staff were absolutely lovely- thank you! And the food was unbelievable and excellent value for money!

Lovely building.
Reservation recommended.
Fine dining Indian style.You can tell the food was cooked if not prepared that day. After eating their nan bread cooked in an oven you’d not want to go back to store bought.
The menu details the ingredients and you can taste it. Lots of meat in their curries and good size portions.
The waite staff are impeccable and attentive.

Always good food, made welcome, and all staff very courteous and obliging, especially to us (Pat and John). You cannot go wrong with going here as the manager (Arash) always makes customers feel welcome as do the other staff as well.

We came here for Christmas Day this year – our family of 5 – and it was AMAZING. The food, the atmosphere but most of all the staff – absolute perfection. This was the first time we chose to eat out for our Christmas Dinner and it won’t be the last. Thank you all so much.
