About this menu

Akbar's Restaurant is an Indian restaurant on Fitzwilliam St in Sheffield, serving starters, baltis and curries. The starters cover popadom and seekh kebab, while Vegetarian Starters, such as paneer pakora, are grouped separately. Mains are split between Special Baltis, where you will find chicken & prawn special balti, Chef's Specialities, which includes chicken jalfrezi, and Old School Favourites, where korma appears.

Groups ordering together could open with popadom and seekh kebab from the starters, then let everyone choose from the baltis or the Chef's Specialities. Vegetarians can turn to Vegetarian Starters to begin a meal. Anyone who already knows the curry they want may head straight to Old School Favourites for korma, while visitors in the mood for a balti can read through the Special Baltis. Those who like jalfrezi will find it under Chef's Specialities, and anyone ordering only starters can stay within the Starters and Vegetarian Starters.
