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.
