About Akshaya Indian Restaurant
Akshaya Indian Restaurant serves Indian food on Friar Lane in Nottingham, open evenings only and closed Tuesdays. The kitchen runs a menu of 15 dishes, including Medhu Vada, Butter Chicken, and Paneer Tikka Masala with Naan, alongside Sambhar, Chicken Wings, and Rogan Josh. Vegetarian side dishes can be combined into a main course for diners who prefer that route. Waiters and waitresses take food and drink orders at the table, and walk-ins are seated without a booking. The dining area plays soft music alongside the sound of a water feature. For larger parties, the restaurant sections off part of the space and switches to a buffet-style setup for groups. Recurring orders noted include chicken tikka masala, keema and garlic naan, mushroom rice, onion bhaji, and chilli garlic chicken, alongside the core menu.

Customer Review Summary
The caveats come from the 3-star reviews. One says the naan was disappointing, the tandoori roti seemed partly undercooked, and the soup spoons were unsuitable for the dishes. Another found the gobi breaded and deep fried like fast food and the chana masala lacking flavour, though the mango lassi was very good. A third reviewer found the advertised early evening discount unclear, and one called the meal just about average.

“Molly & Dylan were absolutely fantastic. We have never met anyone in the service industry who genuinely cares about their jobs like they do. They were incredibly friendly, informative, and just over all positive and bubbly. The food was absolutely delicious and we felt very welcome. Honestly, give these two a bonus, because they’re doing a fantastic job.”

“The food was generally good, although the spices and presentation could have been improved. The spoons provided were soup spoons and were not suitable for eating the dishes served. It would be better to provide proper dining spoons. The discount advertised outside was also unclear and misleading. It appeared to suggest that the offer was available to everyone visiting between 5 pm and 7 pm, but this was not properly explained or applied. The breads need significant improvement. The naan was disappointing and did not justify the price. The tandoori roti was acceptable, but it seemed partly undercooked and was not presented well. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but the presentation, cutlery, clarity of the promotional offer, and especially the quality of the rotis need more attention. Thank you for the service.”

“The food was brilliant. Authentic Indian curries where it its not too sweet, the right amount of spice and freshly made naan. The service was brilliant, our waitress Molly took care of us very well. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic indian cuisine”

“Fantastic Indian restaurant we visited whilst staying in Nottingham. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and tasted so fresh and healthy. I had 2 vegetarian side dishes for a main with some mushroom rice & garlic nan & my husband had a chicken tikka masala. Everything was great. Service was excellent & will definitely go again when we are in the area. Highly recommend.”
