Akbar's - Speisekarte

Awful service. Crammed 8 onto a table for 6 even though we booked 4 weeks in advance. 1 hour wait, still didn’t take our order. We left!

lovely food but very disappointed with service. be more respectful to customers as we waited an hour to be seated when we had reservations and were ushered out of our table quickly to house another party. barely finished with our meals!

My friends and I have been going to Akbar's, Manchester for about 20 years. In all of this time, it has been our favourite restaurant. Sadly, over the last year or so, there has been a decline in consistency in food quality, and the staff have got our orders wrong. Come on, Akbar's. Get back to where you used to be.

The food quality at this restaurant is poor. Despite the fast turnover and busy atmosphere, the quality of the food is lacking. I ordered lamb but received mutton instead, despite informing the waiter twice. As someone who is knowledgeable about different types of meat in the food industry, I can confirm that what I received was not lamb. The service provided by the young Indian boys was acceptable, but the overall quality of the food was seriously lacking.

I recently dined at this restaurant with my coworkers, and I wish I could say it was a positive experience, but unfortunately, I cannot. While the exterior of the restaurant looks nice, the interior is a noisy bar and we were seated nearly an hour late due to the crowded conditions. The food was very disappointing, with watery curries and heavy rice, although the bread was the only redeeming aspect. I doubt the management will address these issues as the restaurant continues to attract customers, but my overall experience was quite unpleasant.

Decided to book here for a date. From the minute we arrived the staff were friendly and welcoming. The venue is quite trendy and has a pleasant ambience. The menu has a good mix of classic and speciality dishes to select from. Being with a pescatarian, we decided to order some of the seafood dishes to share. We got the King Prawn and Spinach special with the Seafood Balt, Balti Tarka Dhal and pilau rice. All of the dishes were delicious and served promptly. Good portion sizes and excellent value for money. Really enjoyed the evening and will definitely be going back. A big thank you to our waiter Manish. Speisekarte ansehen

Our favorite local Akbar's disappointed us when we visited the Manchester location over the weekend. Despite our high expectations for their amazing curry, we were disappointed by the long wait, noisy atmosphere, and mediocre food. We were told it was walk-ins only, and after waiting over an hour to be seated in a crowded and loud bar area, we were placed at a small table surrounded by large, rowdy groups. The food did not meet our usual standards, with my garlic chicken tikka balti lacking flavor. The service was slow and the staff seemed overwhelmed. We left feeling dissatisfied and would not recommend it for a romantic dinner.

This is a place we've used for a long time and in our opinion serves the best Indian food in Manchester. It is down to earth no frills type of place but the food coming out of the kitchen is excellent and has some really special dishes. The drinks are not great though. They have stopped doing draft beer altogether now and the small bottles aren't cheap. As a result of this we had a bottle of the House wine which was below average and disappointing. On a moopositive note, the service was fast and friendly and the restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. The mince with peas was delicious and the lamb on the bone exceptional. Hopefully they get the draft beer back, and it will be a five star re...

What an absolute shambles!! More importantly how it was dealt with!! The food was definitely not good. I sent my prawns back as they were cold the manager came over and did not apologise at no point! My husband after asking for his chops to be well done had to send his back too!! The rice nan bread and sauce were all cold by now. The chops came back they were fine my prawns were put on a hot plate but still cold inside!! The manager came over ….. no apologies and just really unprofessional. We have been dining in this restaurant for 20 years and I would never set foot in it again rubbish food and rubbish service not from our waiter but from the manager who definitely needs to change his care...
