This has to be one of the finest curries I have had the pleasure of eating.
The taste was so good, full of flavour. Potion sizes extremely generous and overall a great experience.
Myself and my partner really enjoyed our time at Akbar’s. The service was extremely attentive even though the restaurant was busy they still found the time.
The price was very reasonable overall I would recommend and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you to the team at Akbar’s.
This was our first visit to Akbars York. We were keen not only to have a good dining experience but to also compare against the home of Akbars which is the one in Bradford. And you know what ? It was equally as good. The food was deeeeeliscious !!
We had lamb chops and a aubergine in masala sauce for starters .. both superb followed by chicken chilli balti & lamb roshan lal , both were cooked to perfection and very tasty and the chilli heat packed a punch in the balti , our sides were garlic naan and chips.
Mint chock chip ice cream for desert.
The waiters were really nice and attentive but the stars here were the kitchen staff , absolutely smashed it 👏👏👏
Very nice restaurant. All the meat is halal. Staff were very friendly.
Had a fish pakora, mixed grill and poppadoms for starters. Fish pakora, shami kebab, shish kebab were very tasty. The veggie pakora was not so great.
Our mains were the giant naan (which 2 people could not finish), the paneer gosht and the butter chicken. The chicken was a bit too creamy for my liking. The paneer and the gosht were not very complimentary either. The portions however were massive.
Although I did not enjoy the mains, this is nothing to do with the way that they were made. Overall, I would strongly recommend this place. Maybe next time, I will ask for recommendations from the waiters.
Delicious food! Excellent service. Very busy and still served in good time by friendly staff.
What a place.We have walked passed this restaurant for years and never went in,dont know why not,but we wont walk past it again.Staff friendly,helpful and funny.One waiter in particular(think his name was Bosco)really made us feel welcome.The food was excellent.Will definitely be back
I'm not sure where the negative reviews come from because every time we have visited, the food has been second to none. The service is first class and overall, it's great value for money. I'm not aware of anywhere in York that beats Akbar's.
Very nice food. Packed out on a Saturday night. I did the chefs challenge 1, thinking I could eat it all being a big eater. I was wrong. A very nice Baltimore with LOADS of meat, nice pilau rice and a big naan but I couldn't handle it all. Overall very impressed, I will visit again when I come back to York.
Super busy. Good food, parking might become a problem. Friendly staff.
Excellent food and service. Absolutely loved it. Lamb Nihari, Chicken Balti with Naan and Gulab Jamun with ice cream, everything was superb and delicious. Keep it up!
Looking for Indian restaurant in York? Try akbars it's really nice good for... Large portions... Great attentative staff nothing is too much trouble.. Food accomodated for your taste.. And a very reasonable price give it a go
Our second visit to York & Akbars, the first was about 4 years ago! Loved it the first time & so glad we decided to go there again tonight. Great food, has real authenticity about it, it really tastes homemade, not lazy mass produced meals. Lovely, friendly staff and good service. Would highly recommend.
The naan doesn't go hard and chewy even after it cools! Truly soft and delicious naan served with excellently cooked sides. Good service, popular place especially on weekends, well managed. Definitely one to try in York.
Amazing, as always. I missed those lamb chops so much. Better than I remember. Everything was exceptional.
Prices are a bit expensive compared but food was quite good. Had a lamb shank and naan with a drink and it came to around £15. Gets quite busy during week
For a typical Pakistani the food is a Englished version of Desi food. Popular and halal. Food is reasonable. I tried biryani & tikka and they were not like the hot coal grilled type or the students biryani. Good overall especially the ambience & staff.
Fabulous food, very tasty. Huge Naan breads!! Great service. Would return if back in York again.
Just love this place, the food is fantastic and the lamb chops are something special.
Very nice food, good service
Amazing naan breads
