I ordered a takeaway for collection last Friday and unfortunately had awful food poisoning from it. I had ordered for collection at opening time so it went through as a pre-order- I wonder if they used old food as a result? Either way, it ruined my weekend and left me poorly and exhausted into the middle of the week. I contacted them to raise my concerns and request a refund but no response. I definitely won’t be using them again.

The food was delicious and plenty of it.

Owner seems a nice guy but the service is poor. The young girl with glasses is rude, no manners & doesn't listen to anything you say. Food was wrong, Food missing, Drinks didn't turn up & asked her for the bill she didn't acknowledge us & then had to ask someone else for the bill! Food was nice but not the best. Manager needs to find better staff.

Absolutely outstanding! First time ordering here and they smashed it out of the park. A couple of our regular curry houses had gone downhill and we'd tried a few places trying to find a new gem - all were pretty average in all honesty. Akhtars was recommended to us by a friend who'd previously recommended our current favourite kebab house. Ordered a peshwari tikka - creamy but with a kick, just my style. My wife ordered desi lamb, rich and spicy. Great spice blend, tender meat. Keema rice was excellent, prawn puri was perfect and the garlic naan, although slightly burnt, we quite like that charred flavour so not a negative there either. The mushroom pakoras didn't travel well but you e got to expect that. They were very tasty and a decent size portion. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Just sad that we're now on our January diet because I'd order from here twice a week! Really pleased we've found a new regular. No idea how much it cost, but after tasting the food, I don't really care. Awesome food and it arrived 25 minutes earlier than expected. I don't give out 5* very often, but this place would've got a 7*. Needless to say, we'll be ordering again. ??????????

We really like it here. Enough to go twice in a week. The menu was quite different to the more generic stuff we see at home. Less greasy and much more tasty. Friendly staff, excellent menu choice for veggies. Don't be put of by the dark exterior making it look like they're closed... They probably aren't and much brighter one inside (we had walked past thinking it was closed but glad to be wrong).

Ate here yesterday for a birthday meal i pre booked 2 tables for 15 of us .. we got their and ordered straght away... starters took about 40 minutes to rock up and then another 45 minutes for our rice to rock up with no curry at the same time... was waiting for the curry about another 20 mintues whilst rice was going cold... waitresses are very young and didnt have much confidence talking to grown ups.. i wouldnt reccomend eating in only takeawayParking: pay by cash for parking

Not been for about a year but what a difference. No atmosphere. When we've been before was always busy but was so quiet tonight. The food was just so average. We're from Sheffield and love Elland and was looking forward to eating here, but so disappointed tonight.... the young staff are very sweet, heard one of the managers talking to them in not a nice way... uncalled for.

Two veggie mixed starters for two were more than enough for five adults, served hot and crispy. Terrific meals including fish, meat and veggie. Everyone delighted with the taste and portions. Elephant ear size garlic naan as well as peas rice and mushroom rice. All served with a jug of mango lassi. Excellent ale served across the road and restaurant happy to have you bring in a takeaway. What a tasty meal in friendly and warm surroundings. We'll be back. No doubt again and again.

Had dinner with my family on new years eve. First time eating in after using Akhtars for takeaways for a year and it's even better than the takeaway !!!Can bring your own booze (massive plus)Definitely coming back!!!

Booked a table for 8 but more people ended up coming along. This wasn't a problem and the attentive staff quickly extended our table. Its a big place with plenty of room. They don't serve alcohol but are happy for you to bring your own, or nip across the road to the Craft&Tap bar and buy a drink, the bar are happy to do this too. Every curry I have tried has always been very nice and the huge family nans are gorgeous.
Very tasty fragrant food at good
