  “Really friendly and efficient service here- we could not fault that. We booked a table ahead of time so were sat very quickly. The 3 stars is due to the food. Whilst there was nothing wrong with it, it lacked anything special. It’s like it was the best restaurant many years ago and now other restaurants have taken over with better food and so our standards have changed. The chicken dishes were a little dry and bland. The dynamite chicken was weird- it was served like a 70s prawn cocktail with hot chicken on top on lettuce. The naan was the tastiest thing on the menu and the family size novelty is amusing.”

  “I had a great experience at Akbar’s. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and the portions were very generous. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable throughout our visit. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere, and everything arrived quickly. I would definitely recommend Akbar’s to anyone looking for delicious Indian/Pakistani food in Manchester. I’ll be coming back again!”

  “Visited last night for the first time, we we're served by Tahih. He was extremely helpful, full of smiles and couldn't have been more accommodating. Thank you for making our experience all the better! Incredible food, the portions were generous for the price. The setting was beautiful and lively for a Tuesday evening. We would highly recommend and be back very soon.”

  “Currently enjoying an unpretentious and tastey chicken jalfrezzi and takka dall. It's rustic and homely food, deceptively simply and wholly satisfying. It does suffer from over attentive staff, but that would be would be overcritical. Loved the experience of dining there, superior to many of the lofty restaurants in London. Highly recommended for an authetic meal that will take you take to ummi's cooking.”

  “Really buzzy atmosphere, even on a Tuesday night, which was lovely. Food was very tasty and portions are extremely generous. Good service, although we did need to wait about 15 minutes for our table even though we had pre-booked. Would go back.”

  “Great selection of food from curries to kebabs to a £20 hungry challenge which is a lot of different meats in a balti curry with a suspersized naan bread and a large portion if pilau rice, get a free desert and certificate, the deserts are amazing also. Staff are friendly and will accommodate, I went for my birthday and the supprised with cake, happy birthday song, sprinklers feok the desert. The facility is easy to get to with parking out the front on main road, walking distance feom Deansgate castlefied metrolink, train station, the interior is very appealing and luxury design, it's a 5 star location, fantastic tastes at a relatively good price. My group of 9 had 10 dishes, 3 large naan breads , 2 jugs of mango lassi (thick mango juice, cools mouth), all for £143, around £15 a head.”

  “This restaurant totally exceeded my expectations – I’m already planning my next visit! Every single dish we ordered was amazing, fresh ingredients and bold, unique flavors that really hit the spot. The service was even better than the food, though, and a huge shout-out to waiter Waseem in particular! He was so cheerful and enthusiastic the entire time, proactively recommending great dishes and chatting with us in such a natural way that he made the whole dining experience feel warm and welcoming. The rest of the staff were attentive too, and for the quality, it’s such great value for money. 10/10, highly recommend!”
