Went to Akbars last Saturday night looking for a table for two. Arrived a 7.15pm to be told that there would be a 45 minute wait. We eventually got called to our table at 8.20pm! They don't take bookings so be prepared for a VERY long wait at busy times. The waiting area was heaving with people so wasn't a... more

We visited Akbars in Manchester last Friday for a birthday celebration. We chose Akbars as it is regarding as one of, if not the best in Manchester. My previous favourite was EastzEast but I had been told that Akbars was even better so we decided that we should try it. What a mistake!!! I was absolutely shocked with what we... more

I can't tell you how utterly disgusting the curry I've just had in akhbar's was. My local takeaway is a million times better! I'm a massive curry fan and can't believe the tasteless greasy muck i've just been served. I think I might actually be sick. Never in my life have I been unable to finish a curry but one... more

We really enjoyed eating here! This Indian Restaurant is lively and busy with good food and attentive service. There was an extensive menu to choose from including a great vegetarian section. I have to say that the service was fine - I did wonder, having read some of the other reviews, whether we would be rushed through our meal, but... more

This is the best Indian in Manchester! Great value for money. The spicy chops for starter are my favourite. The only problem is you can't book for small parties therefore at the weekends expect to wait for at least 40 minutes for a table. The waiting area is large, comfortable & very busy, feels like you are in a busy... more

We went to Akbar's looking for a nice, cheap but tasty restaurant; and we got it. The food was absolutely second to none, and the service is unbeatable. THe only problem is the lack of draught beers, but they do serve in bottles, which, if a little expensive still tastes very nice (Cobra). I will certainly be going again very... more

Turned up at 10:30pm on a Saturday night and they managed to seat us within 15 minutes. The restaurant was full of British Asian families; some with very young kids so don't go expecting either a romantic meal or a boozy night out on the curry mile, however the atmosphere is great, very relaxed and friendly. The restaurant is big,... more

This is one of the only curries that I have almost not been able to eat. Bad quality meat, and not a tasty sauce. The place looked very nice, and I can only imagine that this biases people towards what is objectively very bad food. We had several dishes on the table and each was very unpleasant. Avoid this restaurant! more

The food, service, atmosphere and price were all excellent. more
