Akhtar's - Elland

The appetizers are still excellent, faultless, but the curries have been lacking lately. I used to love the lamb on the bone, but now it's not as good. The sauce that comes with it is bland. I went with a friend last week and we ended up taking the leftover food home. We both left half of our curries and when we told the waiter, he apologized.

The last time I ordered from this restaurant when it was called "Hanifs", the chicken masala was delicious. This time, however, it was a completely different experience. I believe there have been some changes because it was not at all like the last time and I was very disappointed. There was no masala flavor, just a watery sauce that seemed to be made mostly with turmeric. Everything else was okay, but I would have preferred a receipt to know exactly what I was paying for.

The staff at this restaurant is very friendly and the environment is clean. The food was delicious, though a bit pricey, the quality was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Masala fish dish. You can bring your own alcohol if you prefer. Hopefully, they will soon have a card machine for payment. The owner mentioned they would be getting one soon. I appreciate the convenience of paying with a card rather than carrying cash. I give them five stars once they have a card machine installed.

Great eating, nice environment, pleasant staff, cheap prices. 1 go to the curry.

Me and my partner come here often, this is the only place outside of Bradford that I enjoy. The food is usually very fresh tasty. No card accepted, bring cash and your own alcohol.
