Akbars

Me and my partner went for Valentine’s Day. The service was fabulous. Even though it was so packed we got sat down on our table right on time, and food came so quickly. Zia was so lovely, and the food was delicious. They also decorated the restaurant for Valentine’s Day. Will definitely be visiting soon

Super fast service. within 60s of placing my order, my papadams reached my table. It’s been a fair few years since i’ve dined at Akbars, but it was as tasty as ever. Lamb and spinach was delicious and a generous portion size. (enough for 2) garlic family naan was as tasty as ever. butter chicken tasted a bit sweet, probably wouldn’t order that again. *Ask for takeaway box’s for any food. Music was really quite loud, but i did go on a saturday night. might be overwhelming for some.

Another night out trying to find the perfect butter chicken in Birmingham. We chose the family Naan, way too much Naan for 2 ladies. I was disappointed with the Pina colada, way too much pineapple. The butter chicken sauce was the best so far but the chicken was disappointing. The pudding became a joke. As then molten and chocolate fudge tasted exactly the same. The service was great. What spoilt it for me was watching a waiter being shouted out by a young man. If your going to speak with Staff. Do it in private. Apart from that the place was brimming with families and couples

Popadoms with the pickle tray, sekh kebabs, onion bahjis, & lamp chops were delicious. Samosa chaat & masala fish starter were okay. Chicken karai & ghosht karai were very good. Major disappointment was dessert. The gulab jamun was served sliced into pieces & with ice cream. Wasn’t a proper portion, it should be at least 1/2 whole gulab jamuns. That wasn’t worth the money which was a real shame. Ras malai and chocolate cake were nice. Service was very good. Whole restaurant interior needs a makeover, looks outdated.
