This has to be one of the finest curries I have had the pleasure of eating.
The taste was so good, full of flavour. Potion sizes extremely generous and overall a great experience.
Myself and my partner really enjoyed our time at Akbar’s. The service was extremely attentive even though the restaurant was busy they still found the time.
The price was very reasonable overall I would recommend and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you to the team at Akbar’s.

This was our first visit to Akbars York. We were keen not only to have a good dining experience but to also compare against the home of Akbars which is the one in Bradford. And you know what ? It was equally as good. The food was deeeeeliscious !!
We had lamb chops and a aubergine in masala sauce for starters .. both superb followed by chicken chilli balti & lamb roshan lal , both were cooked to perfection and very tasty and the chilli heat packed a punch in the balti , our sides were garlic naan and chips.
Mint chock chip ice cream for desert.
The waiters were really nice and attentive but the stars here were the kitchen staff , absolutely smashed it 👏👏👏

Our second visit to York & Akbars, the first was about 4 years ago! Loved it the first time & so glad we decided to go there again tonight. Great food, has real authenticity about it, it really tastes homemade, not lazy mass produced meals. Lovely, friendly staff and good service. Would highly recommend.

Very nice restaurant. All the meat is halal. Staff were very friendly.
Had a fish pakora, mixed grill and poppadoms for starters. Fish pakora, shami kebab, shish kebab were very tasty. The veggie pakora was not so great.
Our mains were the giant naan (which 2 people could not finish), the paneer gosht and the butter chicken. The chicken was a bit too creamy for my liking. The paneer and the gosht were not very complimentary either. The portions however were massive.
Although I did not enjoy the mains, this is nothing to do with the way that they were made. Overall, I would strongly recommend this place. Maybe next time, I will ask for recommendations from the waiters.

I'm not sure where the negative reviews come from because every time we have visited, the food has been second to none. The service is first class and overall, it's great value for money. I'm not aware of anywhere in York that beats Akbar's.
