About 5 Akhis Preston
5 Akhis Preston is a fast food restaurant at 121 Friargate in Preston, run by a family of brothers. The kitchen builds its menu around smash burgers made from grass-fed British Angus beef that is dry-aged for 28 days and cooked medium-rare. Akhi is Arabic for brother, and the name reflects how the team says it treats its customers. Alongside the burgers, the menu includes wings in a Bangla Naga flavour and Mega Loaded Fries, with milkshakes on the drinks side. The kitchen sources its ingredients locally and says this supports nearby farmers and lowers its carbon footprint. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the wings, from the Bangla Naga wings with fresh chillies, described as packed with flavor, to the mango and bbq wings, which one reviewer found tasty. One regular of another wings chain says this place beats it. Burgers come close behind, with the Lil Akhis called perfectly cooked and juicy and the Mega Loaded Fries a massive portion. Milkshakes and mojitos also get praise, and several describe food that arrived quickly, fresh and hot. The one negative review is detailed. The El' Papa Smash and Blazing Bird burgers tasted bland with sauce combinations that didn't work, the peri fries had good seasoning but felt hollow inside, the cheese sauce was weird, and the meal upgrade seemed too expensive for fries and a drink. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, and two reviewers mention being given something to try, a milkshake sample in one case and a freebie in another.

“5 Akhis is an amazing fast food restaurant. Their milkshakes and mojito’s were delicious and the staff were super friendly and kind. The interior is very clean and aesthetically appealing.”

“Disappointed with the food. The El’ Papa Smash and Blazing Bird burgers both missed the mark, the sauce combinations just didn't work and tasted bland. The peri fries had good seasoning but felt completely hollow inside, and the cheese sauce was weird. Also, £4.49 to upgrade to a meal is way too expensive for just fries and a drink. Staff were friendly, but the food was a big miss. Won’t be back.”
