If you find yourself in Slough with a craving for delicious Asian cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. I had the pleasure of dining here recently, and I must say, it was an unforgettable culinary experience.
The Special Biryani was a true standout. Each fragrant grain of rice was delicately spiced, and the tender meat was bursting with flavor. The dish was a perfect fusion of aromatic herbs and spices, leaving me craving more with every bite.
The Dynamite Prawns were nothing short of a flavor explosion. Crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, they were generously coated in a zesty sauce that delivered just the right amount of kick. It's safe to say these prawns lived up to their name!
What truly sets this place apart is the impeccable service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. Their warm hospitality added to the overall dining experience.
The atmosphere is another noteworthy aspect. The restaurant exudes an inviting ambiance, with its tasteful decor and soothing background music. It's a place where you can unwind, savor your meal, and have a great time with friends and family.
In conclusion, I can't express enough gratitude for the delightful dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through Slough, this Asian eatery is a must-visit. From the delectable dishes to the top-notch service and cozy atmosphere, they've got it all. Thank you for treating us so well!

The foods always nice but the service is a bit fickle, if you want anything you have to stop one of the waitresses walking past. But the atmosphere is ALWAYS good. Was a bit disappointed when we ordered the mix grill and it didn't come with the smoke and coals but that was just all.
The genuine reviewer
I visit this place and had the same reaction with both visits. It was great food, good service but the atmosphere was questionable.
I went for the rice, lamb chops, dynamite prawns and all was excellent. The service was good and on time. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
The tables/toilets were a little dirty. The atmosphere is mostly catered for south Asian people as they play live music however it was great as it was a different atmosphere to what I’m used to.
The decor is very nice overall great comfort food. They only accepted cash before but now accept card!
Overall definitely worth the visit!
9/10!

Akaya is a a must go place if you are looking for Asian food. Indian cuisine is their forte and I have tried their chicken biryani which has a 3 levels of spiciness options, which is good.
Medium is quite fair and tolerable, you can feel the heat while still able to differentiate the taste of biryani. The rice is well cooked and not overcooked and the serving size seems small but it really is too much.
The mocktails are all enticing and the mango mocktail, i may say is my favourite.
Events can also happen in here, like birthday celebration. i just do suggest not to place the other guests near the table of celebrants as this makes us feel awkward and sometimes, all we wanted is silence while having dinner, and not being worried if we will be able to be included in the video recording of the person on the next table.
Overall, food is good and crew is very hospitable. Just please do strategise the table arrangement of your restaurant.

Akaya lounge is the best place to visit. Very nice decor, good atmosphere & wicked having a DJ play music. Staff are very friendly & accommodating especially Neha & Abushaker ☆☆☆☆☆
Food is so delicious & tasty you will be spoilt for choice, the Mocktails are just as good as a cocktail & Shisha is always available.
Really nice place to take pics for your social media. Clean, nice environment with lots of space.
I would definitely recommend 👌

Went with friends for lunch. Friendly staff, great atmosphere only downside the food was cold and the kebabs were very chewy. Apart from that enjoyed the music and ambience would recommend.

2nd visit in a week as the food is brilliant - we had the Papri Chaat which I'd highly recommend, as well as the Lamb Kofte & Chicken Sheesh. We also went for the Meaty Fries second time around and they were the best ones I've had!
Service was also excellent as well - Neha C was great, really friendly and helpful, and remembered us from last week!

The food came out fairly quick as we travelled with a group of 20+ we ordered family platters and their dynamite King prawns along with fish pakora's. And sides to along with it. The mohitos were a little disappointing as they lacked a punch from the fruit. But the family platters were very flavoursome. Good service by the waiters and waitresses and were quick to help when asked for service. The live music played tonight was a little louder then hoped. But the place is really nicely decorated and set the mood for a good meal overall 8.5/10. The food was really well presented and we all left with our bellies full.

Very nice good quality meat. Nice aesthetic. Would recommend and try mocktails too.

Nice decor, personally didn’t try anything from the menu but accompanied friends who did - they have the Mojito and Shisha and didn’t have any complaints. We definitely overstayed due to good convo and were there past closing but that staff waited patiently for us. Two female DJ’s on site playing tunes - perhaps not necessary considering the smaller crowd on the Saturday night.

Food was excellent! Tender nice and really tasty. Service was slow but perhaps this was because it was sat afternoon. I have seen busier places but better service but overall not bad. If you go at busy times you need to wait but if you can’t then book a table ahead. Atmosphere is good with the decor but the placing of the toilet (I front of two tables that face towards the toilet) and the music are not appropriate. Live music is performed on times which brings a different experience but it is too loud. Even when background music is on, it is still a decibel or two higher than needed!
So worth going again for food. But would advise book a table if you are a group and can o afford to hang around
