Akash - Forest of Dean

We were visiting locally and staying in Cinderford and the Akash was recommended. There was no parking so we parked in the hairdressers next door which was closed. When we got to the front door we almost turned around a blown front window that probably hasn’t been cleaned for 10 years ,plastic flowers in the window that had an inch of dust I could go on and on . But we stuck with it. By the end of the starter we were pleasantly surprised and starting to have a different view. By the end of the meal we all agreed that it was probably the best Indian we’d ever had. And we’ve had a few. The fact that they don’t serve alcohol didn’t distract from that . This would’ve made a great dine in the dark.

Having had our takeaway curry’s from here for 20 years, I can honestly say they are the best! My husband says no where else can beat their Tandoori Chicken Biriyani !! It’s always piping hot and presentation is always good.

Amazing place will always want to come back always thought it was best around and still do, never disappoint

We visited Akash yesterday, and wanted to express how amazing the food and service was. The staff were very welcoming and incredibly friendly and we ordered several items including a tandoori mixed grill, prawns and sheek kebab wrap (which were all seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection). The food was packed full of flavour, spice and had a lovely aromatic fragrance. I would highly recommend this local gem in Cinderford and I will definitely be going back with family and friends in the future!

The food is fabulous especially on the weekend, it's is still lovely during the week, but definitely better on weekend when the chef is busy! We've tried many Indian takeaways and always go back to this one, the staff are very friendly and we always get free popadoms
