Akbar's - Manchester

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!

Just got in the service was horrible no respect for us or our children, we could not stay because of how disrespectful the manager was..

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 review next time!

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.

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.
