Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The best curry we ever had & the best balti we ever had. Service was good, price is OK, nice interior. None of these things matter, only the food incomparable.

Another totally excellent meal. The food, the service and the atmosphere… I cannot fault a thing. We hadn’t booked but we’re seated as quickly as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Thank you once again and hopefully we shall see you all...soon.More

Great food and attentive service throughout as ever. My Dad left his scarf behind. I called back in the next day; the scarf was handed to me almost before I was through the lobby. Most impressive. Keep up the good work all.

Food is so yummy here, every single time I have been! Service is fab and friendly too. I cannot recommend this highly enough! I had The Balti Chicken Tikka and they customised it for me - adding spinach and mushrooms. Bring your own Booze too!

My partner and I have used akrams for many yrs, as most people you have a “go to” dish that you always have, but today we decided to have something different. We ordered two chicken shaslik mains and a medium garlic and coriander nann. When...it arrived to the table the good lady and I were blown away. We had ordered a kebab starter to come with the mains but really we didn’t need to. The sizzling plates come out and immediately impressed us both. The chicken was succulent and fell off the bone. The was masses of food. We tried our hardest to eat all of it but we couldn’t. The nann was the size of half the table and we both had a full chicken each!!!! We settled our bill and in all honesty i don’t know how ifty and the team keep it so competitive and such good quality. Sod the rest , have the best akrams all the way!!!!More

This is our favourite restaurant by far, and serves fabulous food to a consistently high standard time after time. My husband ordered onion bahjee to start then Balti tandoori chicken chilli kahari with pilau rice and Nan bread which was fresh and delicious. I ordered...fish pakora to start followed by prawn madras with potato and mushroom and a chapati, which was tasty, delicious and well presented. We sat inside the restaurant which is very clean and spacious, although we frequently order from their takeout menu too. The staff are all incredibly friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble for them. A fantastic experience 5 stars!More

Heard how fantastic this place is supposed to be. It’s not…. Poppadoms good with nice accompaniments. Shami kebab starter looked like two overcooked McDonald burgers. They were ridiculously spicy hot, not subtle flavour. Balti Keema Rogan Josh was awash with oil/ghee, very greasy and again...chilli like hot. My wife said same regarding spice about her Tandoori chicken starter and Balti chicken & dhal main. Keema naan, nice flavour but again too much oil on top. Really disappointed from my first visit back in about twenty years!More

Have been to this restaurant many times over the years and my friend has been coming for over 20 years! The food is consistently good, flavourful and plenty of it! The staff are all friendly, helpful and accommodating and the atmosphere is pleasant for enjoying...your meal. I shared a tandoori mixed grill which was amazing and so much on it we ended up taking some home! Really good value for money! Definitely recommend for a delicious curry at decent prices.More

We went to Akrams on a Saturday night, a family party of 17 people. Everyone without fail enjoyed their food enormously. I no longer live in Birmingham and fondly remember having a balti in Sparkbrook in the 80s and 90s but have struggled to find...that same lovely balti flavour since then. Akrams has that classic taste and I’ll be making a beeline for here whenever I come back for a visit.More

Delicious balti as always. It’s fabulous that they do a healthier, Slimming World friendly option using Frylight😊. All the staff are very friendly and helpful too. Definitely the best Kashmiri restaurant in Birmingham.

Went to Akram's last night for the first time. The restaurant is very nice with a good atmosphere. The food was excellent - a really nice authentic Balti. The staff/owner were all very smart, pleasant and attentive. I will definitely use Akram's again but unfortunately...it it quite a distance from where we live so unable to make it my local.More
