Food is great but you’ll find about one nice waiter. Came into the restaurant lady/college student at the desk was extremely rude whilst we informed her of our reservation. Then after we were seated 15 minutes later than our reservation all was good but during the end we paid the bill and then had the bday sundae brought out and whilst we ate it we kept getting told to get up by this one waiter again and again and I responded with we will get up once we finish eating what we’ve paid for. The waiter was so sarcastic and so rude as we walked out. Never been treated by more rudeness by a waiter
Eat here every time we visit Manchester
Every time we come to Manchester, we eat here. The service is always top notch and so reasonably priced. The only thing I would say is if you come mid week, the food is always tastier than at busy weekends.
Akbars ye ek shaandar restaurant h Manchester me yha me apne dosto k saath gaya or vha khoob daaru or chakna khaa k maje kiye yha ka ambience ek dum faad or ek dum jhakkas hai
The restaurant can be safely trusted If you are missing indian food. The staff is friendly and funny. The vibe of the restaurant too is warm and comfortable.
Super awesome place for having the real Indian food.... infact it serves some delicacies which tastes better than its Indian counterparts!!!
Loved the ambiance, specially the farthest corner seat!!
Reasonably priced, serving great portions and that family naan was actually huge!
Would sure visit again on my next trip! :)
I have been here on a number of occasions in the past. I decided to try it on a ani day evening. This place is always busy. The waiters are attentive. Very much like the kitchen staff coming to serve the food to you. It's a safe bet for a good quality Indian restaurant. Reasonably priced and good atmosphere.
Came here this evening with work and was pleasantly surprised by just how busy the place was for a Tuesday! We sampled a selection of starters - chicken tikka and lamb chops were particular highlights. For mains i opted for a seafood Balti which I will definitely have again - well flavoured and full of fishies. The naans were a sight to be seen - absolutely massive portions;!!!
Firstly was told they dont take table bookings for groups under 10 people but would be fine to turn up and get a table. Arrived at 7pm and we were only seated at 7:45 after threatening to leave and go next door.
Service was fast and impersonal however the food was really good. Nann breads were amazing and huge ( dont order one each!)
Might visit again but if it looks remotely busy be prepared to wait.
Haitham. Mogherbi haitham good
Good nosh, spicier than expected, great service. Very good veggie options (and lots of) and HUGE naan breads. Would come again
A lovely place to dine in, bring your friends and family and laze about while enjoying amazing traditional Indian food. Akbar’s never fails to have great food with quality taste and I will be coming back very soon! The waiters were very kind and attentive.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Just go if you really looking for authentic Indian food! This is the best so far I have found in England ( coz am from london, yea I been been to most popular ones only and can’t say they are even close to Akbar’s)
This was recommended by a dear friend and during this trip of mine, we decided to give it a go! With all the mixed reviews, I had was expecting average experience but I must say I AM BLOWN AWAY WITY THE FOOD AND SERVICE!!!
Why? Read on…
PRO :
Food 10/5
Very flavourful, delicious, soul satisfying, perfect level of spiciness!!
Food we ordered:
chicken tikka - 3/5
Chicken tandoori masala - 10/5
Sauce platter - chilli chutney was nice!
Lamb rogan Josh - 10/5
Garlic naan ( not family) : 10/5
Gulab Jamun with ice cream 5/5 ( better if this is served in a bowl than a plate)
this is huge and good for 2 people!!!
- Zaif who took our order should have guided us better but glad we dint order 2 else it would have gone wasted.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service 5/5 : Exceptional
Service is impeccable. We were served by Zaif, Vishnu, Alif and one more. You must be thinking why so many? That is because, they are very prompt!!
- Special mention - VISHU! he is a star! The mutton rogan Josh we ordered was seno from / less saucy. After tasting, I requested if they could get some curry ( without the meat) and he said “ no problem”. He took away the dish and got it the level of sauciness I wanted with no change is taste! I was worried with redoing the taste might get compromised but I am extremely pleased with the customer obsession they displayed!
👌👌👌👌👌
Price 10/5 : VALUE FOR MONEY!!
We paid 41 pounds for all of this!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Location - not too far from tram
CON : it’s noisy 🎧, paratha was not available!
THANK YOU CHEF, Raja Akhtar ( I think was the second name)
Attended for a work event and was impressed by the quality of food, we had a set menu and you got a large starter, 4 curries w/rice & dessert. And they serve the largest naan breads I’ve ever seen, well worth the visit if you like Indian food.
If you want loud vibrant ambience akbars is the place to be busy hustle bustle food excellent fish masallah fantastic starter palak gosht naans excellent warm napkins at the end of meal ice cream sundaes with sparklers very popular 👍
I was really impressed overall with service and waiters, drinks and nan breads huge, fresh and good vlaue.. Starters of lamb chop and fish masala also very impressive. Meat Rogan Josh and balti chicken and prawn curry had amazing sauces. However, tiny prawns! Also both meat and chicken are clearly very over cooked. I appreciate that may be the style but the beef was a bit dry and chicken starting to come apart. It just needs a tweak for those dishes. But, worth a look as all the rest so good and quick friendly service. Chicken balti should be cooked 100% fresh. It takes minutes to do and should be firm juicy to compliment the perfect sauces.
What a place! No other words, fantastic food great service and a brilliant atmosphere
One of our team did the challenge and this would give beard meets food a run for his money!
Get yourself booked for some fantastic food!
Came for iftari, love it was served on time, ordered weeks lamb chops an fish masala, the food was lush warm tasty and full of flavours, for main we ordered a chicken jalfrezi and bhindis wow the bhindis were cooked to perfection the chicken was ok could have been better. Why 5 starts the waiter that served us was on point super friendly an helpful so well done. Would deffo come back when it’s not ramadan to see if it’s any different.
great food & service however the atmosphere was average; it might’ve been due to a busy evening but we could hardly hear each other
The food is amazing! Probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. The chicken tikka masala was out of this world. It is a bit crowded though and you might need to wait but it is worth it!
Well this place never disappoints, thought i would take my family out as my wife wanted butter chicken. My little boy wanted the naan on a stick.
The service, given it was busier than average we was given a table as we had our little one the wait was 30min plus but got im about 10min
The food was excellent the starter chops, lamb karai, and the signature NAAN on a stick. Nothing to fault.
Staff was very friendly even though they was busy.
I would 100% recommend this place.
