About Akhtars Restaurant

Akhtars Restaurant serves Indian cuisine on Sheffield Rd, open daily for evenings only. The 14-dish menu includes an Onion Bhaji among its starters, alongside the Akhtars special. Reservations are recommended, and pre-booked tables are available for those who plan ahead. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair-accessible, opening the dining room to visitors with mobility needs, and high chairs are on hand for families with young children. Takeaway and delivery let diners enjoy the menu off site, and a set menu is offered for Christmas. Guests seated without a booking should expect the kitchen to take its time over main dishes at busier periods.

Customer Review Summary

Onion bhajis draw repeated praise, with one reviewer calling them the best they've had and another mentioning being given a free one alongside extra rice. Close behind, the welcome and service get consistent mention, including staff remembering a regular's name and one diner recommended the off-menu Arabian Chicken. Several also note generous portions and reasonably priced wine. The experience isn't uniform, though: one reviewer found the prawn puree bland with a sauce that let down the Akhtars special, another described a takeaway chicken as tough and slimy in a thin, soup-like sauce, and a third found their main courses slow to arrive on a busy evening. Even so, multiple reviewers describe returning after a Christmas takeaway order handled by helpful phone staff and a warm welcome to a pre-booked table.

    “Always fantastic. I was asked if I wanted something not on the menu. Arabian Chicken... Absolutely gorgeous.. fully recommended. 😉”
  • Nikki Hazel Russell
    “Ordered takeaway. Chicken was in strips like you would get in a supermarket. Really tuff and slimy. Sauce was just like a thick tomato soup. Won’t be ordering again.”
  • Catrina Bonnington
    “Ordered prawn puree to start and it was the worst I have had. The puri was bland and not a good texture and the sauce was ok but I've had much better. Main course was Akhtars special - the rice was nice and the prawns and meat were very tasty but the sauce let it down. It was average at best.”
  • John Colman
    “My wife and I went had a wonderful meal at Akhtars last night. They gave us a warm welcome and took us to a pre-booked table within a couple of minutes of getting there. …”
  • Craig Thompson
    “I visited this Indian restaurant on a Saturday evening. The decor was pleasant, creating a nice atmosphere. 🌸 The food was acceptable, but the 50-minute wait for our main dishes was a drawback. Service could be more prompt. 🍽️ Overall, it was an okay experience. 👍”
