Very good BYOB curry house. Great off license opposite. The large peshwari naan was delicious, sweet (maybe honey on top?!) and big enough for 3 people. My paneer tikka masala was very tomatoey, not the best I’ve had but I have very high standards! The butter chicken, paneer madras and chicken and spinach were all delicious. Poppadoms really fresh and loved the gravy boat of mint sauce. Highly recommend! Very reasonably priced too

We recently moved to the area and found this gem pretty quickly. Now we visit as often as we can. The food is always amazing and the service is very friendly. I can't recommend this place highly enough
One of the great Indian place that I’ve ever been!
Good are spot on and the customer service are friendly and very hopeful specially with such a parade menu
Highly recommended the kashmiri fish either as start or main. You won’t be disappointed!
Just met up with some friends here and the place was buzzing. Super service, friendly staff, great vibe and food was gorgeous even though mine was a little less spicy than I would have liked. Will definitely be coming back.
Excellent curry (and I say that as someone who usually dislikes curry), quick and polite service and good value. Large portion sizes: large and varied starters particularly and for desert we got SUCH a big slice of extremely delicious cake. That was probably the nicest cake I’ve eaten all year. My only tiny criticism is that the music was a little too loud, but still a very very good restaurant. This is my new favourite place to dine whilst in Birmingham. Two thumbs up! 👍👍
The food was incredible. One of the best Indian restaurant I have ever been. (My manager who is Indian said the same) The staff was kind. Sidenote, you cannot get any drinks with alcohol in the restaurant, but you can bring it with you and they let you drink it with your meal. There is a shop right in front of the restaurant where you can buy beer, cider or wine. Highly recommended it.
Excellent meal. A whole variety of dishes to choose from (including English). Friendly and fast service with engaging waiting staff. Can't wait to return here for round 2!
We came here for an eid celebration with family, and we are so happy we chose to celebrate here!
From the moment we entered the managers Iftikar and Nazir were fantastic. They answered all of our questions about the menu and quick to give suggestions based on our preferences.
When the food arrived it was sizzling hot and tasted fantastic, not one item was missed! For dessert you must try the coconut ice cream it is one of the best I have ever tasted!
Throughout the meal staff were attentive and never too far away should we need anything.
I cannot reccomend Akbars enough. A 5 star service and food local establishment!
Thanks for a great experience, we can't wait to come back.
Brought some friends tonight to iftar with me on a Monday night, nice to see a mix of Muslims and people out just as normal, the atmosphere was calm and 50% full. We had chicken korma, mutton biryani - asked for this a little hotter - was lovely. My friend had the tandoori chicken sizzler and naan - it was really juicy. Food was just great, satisfying is how I would describe it. 4/5 for service just because the staff, including the owner, looked really rushed off their feet. We were served by a really nice youth white waiter and were really pleased. IDK if I would visit on a weekend as I think it would be too busy, but tonight was just right
Chance visit while looking for a Curry. Everything was good about the visit. A busy popular restaurant, so it has the vote of the people. I will visit again & when I have tried a wider selection of dishes will probably upgrade my review. Don't know where to go, definitely try Akrams first & decide for yourself.
Update...
I have returned at a quieter time, tried additional dishes. Still maintaining good food & good service, Increasing rating to 5 star.
Excellent customer service. Food out quickly and when it came out the order was delivered perfectly.it was absolutely delicious , the cheese garlic naan was the best ever ! I had mushroom and paneer balti . I asked for it hot and it was hot . We went as a party of 5 , one had a meat vindaloo. Others had a variety of dishes and sides that were all amazing...We are a hard lot to please but this was so good I felt I had to recommend it. I will say book in advance there's no free tables and I'm not surprised. Very reasonably priced for Excellent food. Thank you for a lovely meal
One of the best curries I have ever eaten. House-made chutneys, giant buttered naan, a perfectly-spiced chicken tikka balti, and amazing prices. Do not miss.
Such fab food. Can bring your own alcohol. Would always recommend ❤️
Another lovely meal at Akrams really enjoyed it as always. Lovely atmosphere and waiters are all very friendly and look after you well.
One of the tastiest currys ive ever had. Went with the family as hadn't been out for a while as our little boy doesn't like to sit still for long but he was amazing and so were the staff and the food. We have been before but forgot how tasty and delicious their curry's were. Can't wait to return. Xx
