Quick info
About Akshaya - The Picture Drome
On Kensington in Liverpool, Akshaya - The Picture Drome serves Sri Lankan and South Indian dishes alongside curry classics on a walk-in basis. The menu runs to 116 dishes, spanning Chicken 65, Paneer Manchurian, and Punjabi Samosa, with pappadums on the side and Dosa Tacos offering a folded take on the usual dosa format. Madras chicken and biryani also feature. The restaurant opens daily, and diners can take any leftovers home in a doggie bag rather than finish everything at the table. Parking is free on site, useful given the walk-in setup. Staff have marked guests' birthdays with a cake and music brought to the table. The overall approach stays plain and unfussy, built around a wide spread of familiar South Indian and Sri Lankan dishes rather than a short, curated menu.

“1st time at the restaurant and the service from the young lady Akshaya was brilliant! Helpful with recommendations on the food, very friendly, polite and welcoming. Food was also lovely!👌🏻 As always our eyes were bigger than our bellies and we ordered too much, but took home the rest in a doggie bag. Will definitely return 🤤”

“Came for an impromptu meal, and it was delicious. Really well decorated restaurant with a lovely ambiance. We were served by Jo, who was very attentive and explained everything to us. He made us feel very welcome and brought our food quick. Extremely reasonable prices, good portion size and delicious food! Would highly recommend, especially as there is free parking which is a huge bonus vs city centre locations.”

“Back for a second visit and Akshay did not disappoint! Fantastic food, friendly staff, and super quick service. They went above and beyond by noticing my daughter's birthday badge and surprising her with a cake and music. It’s that kind of service that will keep us coming back.”
