Serving the finest Indian cuisine

Welcome to Babar Elephant at Lancaster

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.
