Went on a busy weekend, service was spot on and food was amazing. Would recommend the lamb chops, masala fish and the butter chicken. Was just too busy and hectic to give 5 stars for the atmosphere but besides that everything was perfect.

Akbar's is ok, it's not my favourite place to go for a curry but it's not the worst either.The starters are decent, especially the meat chops but I find the curries inconsistent and either a little bland or they taste hot.It's always extremely busy, so booking I'd say is essential. When we arrived the front of house team did seem quite stressed.Akbar's will never be my choice for a curry but I won't say no if others want to go there.

We booked a table for 6pm for iftar (to open our fast) we arrived at 5:45 told to wait by Tasha at the entrance she handed the buzzer saying it will buzz for the table!We waited till 6:20 upon asking how long… we are asked to wait again… we waited till 7pm and no buzzer call, at 7:20 we spoke to the manger mentioned we have been waiting since 6pm maybe longer and then they acknowledge how long we had been waiting… Tasha said we were lying that we had been waiting since 6 (really she didn’t even book our buzzer number in) cause the other lady confirmed the number wasn’t even on the list!! So they apologised the manger got us a table asap! At 7:30 we got seated !!!!We waited hour and half although we had booked a table for 6pm!!Very poor service especially when guests have booked in advance.The food was great and came out quickly and timely which was good!

Ordered chicken Tikka Masala and it was so watery, as if they had stored the food for a week before serving it to me. Told the waiter about it, he was just laughing, telling me i need courage to eat something which tasted so stale!The food quality has seriously deteriorated and you guys need to do something about it! Its as if Gordon Ramsey should come and sort out the restaurant. Rubbish!

Was here for a 60th birthday. I ordered my starter, which was keema cheese samosas, which came out cold so I told a member of staff, so they changed them, and when they came back out they was still cold. We were there for 1 hour and 30 minutes and were told to leave because they needed the table. Plus, I was not able to order a desert. I will not be going back in a hurry

Probably the worst Indian I've had in some time. Waiter spilt my partners drink all over her and replaced it with tap water. Cobra slightly insulting £5 for a small bottle, got more for my money at the emirates earlier this season. Also wasn't blown away by the food.

Lovely restaurant however the food was spicy as it gets, ordered a buttered chicken and nearly took my taste buds off. Didn't like how the staff bring out the food plate piled on top of each other, personally it give me the ick so wouldn't come

Our experience at Akbars restaurant in Manchester left much to be desired. After a long day celebrating my daughter's birthday in Chester, we decided to drive to Manchester for dinner. Excited to try a new restaurant, we ordered Bhindi Gosht and Daal for my husband and me, and Butter Chicken for our one-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, our excitement quickly turned to disappointment when the food arrived filled with green chilies, despite not being asked about our spice preferences.Even though we enjoy spicy food and frequently dine out in London, we were taken aback by the overwhelming amount of green chilies in our dishes, including the Butter Chicken meant for our daughter. This oversight could have been easily avoided if the waiter had simply asked about our spice preferences, especially considering it was our first time dining at Akbars.To add to our disappointment, the bill indicated something along the lines of "Asian style," which we interpreted as an indication of spiciness. The manager's attempt to salvage our experience by presenting my daughter with a sundae with sparklers was a sweet gesture, and it did make her happy. However, despite this kind gesture, my husband and I unfortunately did not enjoy the food, and we ended up having to purchase chicken nuggets from McDonald's for our daughter, who usually enjoys Butter Chicken wherever we go.This experience serves as a reminder to the staff at Akbars to not make assumptions about their customers' spice preferences but instead to ask them directly. While the gesture from the manager was appreciated, the lack of consideration for our preferences marred what could have been a pleasant dining experience.

Extremely delicious food! Best Indian restaurant in the area. There are many visitors with Indian roots, so you know things are going well!The desserts are not very spectacular, I would skip them. Starters and main courses are super delicious.Popular restaurant, make a reservation or be patient, especially on weekends.
