The Akash

Heard about this restaurant from the Cask and Tap next door, glad I did great food and staff, I was up from Derby for football and went here after the match, 1030pm. I had a mixed kebab starter, chicken kharahi, mushroom rice and a keema nan, washed down with a pint of Cobra, really enjoyed it, I will be back. Edit... I can't really comment on the atmosphere as it was late evening on a Tuesday and there were only two other people in.

Updated Sept 23, great food, great service and good atmosphere. Akash Tandoori restaurant is one of those places you walk past during the daytime and never notice it's there. That's a big mistake. This venue serves some of  the nicest food I have tasted. Lots of flavours and cooked piping hot. Staff are pleasant and polite, venue is clean and tastefully decorated. On this occasionI i had, poppadoms for starters with 4 different sauce dips all full of flavour, for main the Tandoori chicken which came on a sizzling plate on a bed of onions, pilue rice, curry sauce, fries and a garlic nan bread. All the food was full of flavour and tasted really good. Definitely worthy of the 5 star review. Staff are very respectful and time their visits to your table without it being obtrusive. From street level you have to take a flight of stairs up to the restaurant. Most of the seating is set out so you feel as if you are at your own private Booth but they also cater for larger parties which is more open. There is also a bar area with a good selection of wines and beers. Toilets are up another level of stairs so the only downside is it's not really suitable for disabled or impaired walking. Taxis can be called via the restaurant or easily obtained within a 2min walk around the corner. If you like Indian food then you need to try this place out on your next visit to Blackpool If this review was informative enough for you give it a thumbs up or like to let other know about the place.

Without a doubt some of the most amazing food we have had in the UK and Ireland in the past 3 months on our travels. The service was attentive, friendly and comforting. The food was exceptional. From the Nann bread to the Prawn Vindaloo, the Lamb Tikka Masala and the beautiful dips and poppadoms. In Blackpool for 3 nights and we had dinner 2 nights here. Excellently seasoned, good portions and without a doubt great value for money. We are both in hospitality and we can say with full heart....Well done to the guys front and back of house.....you are a credit to yourselves and the hospitality industry. When the "Happy smiling Australian and the Irishman" come back this side of the world we will absolutley be coming in for a bite to eat. Good on you guys.

Rolled up to the outside looking a bit grubby and thought this doesn’t look so good, but don’t be put off by the exterior, the food n service was great all the staff where really friendly and nice we ended up being the last in before closing and ended up talking to the owner about all sorts of things, all the dishes where piping hot and tasted lovely and fresh! Highly recommend!!! Defo somewhere ide return to!!! Derby!!
