Akbars - Speisekarte

Delicious food, good service and a great atmosphere. If you're looking for a good Indian restaurant, they don't come much better than Akbar's!

Thought we'd try this place out ...we were in a day out and decided to have dinner here..we were not disappointed ! Lovely atmosphere, great food and...

YES. just trust me on this, yes. Such a great lively atmosphere, friendly/well-attentive staff, and DELICIOUS food. I will let the pictures do the talking! Speisekarte ansehen

Visiting from the US, family recommended Akbar's. Food was great, I had the Chicken and Potato Balti. The drinks were watered down (I returned mine) and service was mediocre. The naan bread was really good.

Overall good Indian food for the price. Cash only. Sunday evening. Fairly crowded, waited for 5 mins to be seated. Good service, speed of delivery was quick. Starters were ok, do recommend lamb chops! Chicken curry was nicely seasoned , just a bit salty for my personal taste. Naan was great, bigger than a regular human head. Chewy inside and crunchy outside. The dessert was a mix of ice cream/whipped cream with hot soft cake ball... very very sweet.

Best curry everrrrrrrr!!! I have just come back from Akbars and it was amazing!!!! Having previously gone a couple months back on a works do me and the other half fancied trying it properly. The curry was insanely good, we had poppodoms then lamb chops and onion Bajis for starters, then for main had chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, pilau rice and a huge garlic naan! Every part of the meal was so delicious and tasty and all for only £36 including drinks. Also the staff are lovely they were so attentive and we went to order a family garlic naan and our waiter explained the sizes as it would have been too big, which I thought was really nice of him! Will be returning here asap! Speisekarte ansehen

Best curry of my life. My review could as well stop here. I reckon Akbar's deserves more words though. I wasn't expecting to find such a paradise for my taste buds when I got to this place a few minutes walking from Deansgate Locks. There are many other Indian restaurants on the way there, but my housemate, a regular at Akbar's, only stopped when we reached the place. I followed his advice, so we shared lamb kebab and chicken tikka masala, along with a huge and scenographic naam bread, soft and delicious. The meat was tasty, well cooked and perfectly flavoured, not too spicy; the sauce was great as well. The service has been considerably quick, and prices are so low! Honestly, great value. W...

After much (hardly any persuasion I found myself being dragged a long for a curry one cold night after work. I had a certain level of expectations for Akbar's and I'm sorry to say that it did not live up to them one iota. We were seated straight away in the busy side of the huge restaurant and it was super loud but smelt great! We were offered drinks and some poppadoms straight away with all the sauces you expect they were delicious. I started with the prawn on puri which was the one highlight of the meal. Served on a fresh roti and with a certain kick it was tasty. For the mains we opted to share a couple of the curries with a side of pilau and a family nan (HUGE! The curries were a complet...

TL;DR Nice curry and good service, but I've had better. Ever since moving to Manchester I've wanted to try Akbar's everyone seems to say it's the best curry in town and the enormous queues would seem to back that up. Meeting up with a friend for dinner he suggested Akbar's so I finally got chance to give it a go. Upon arrival they'll give you an indication of how long you'll have to wait to be seated (45 minutes in our case) and give you a pager which buzzes and lights up when your table's ready. The waiting area is large, so even when it's busy there's space to spread out, but seating is in short supply. This was also the first place where we felt the place fell short when we bought drinks... Speisekarte ansehen
