"Good.  3.75/5.  Drinks service was a bit slow at points.  Rice portions not huge but if ordered with MASSIVE naans not really needed.  Portion size of curry was excellent and the starters weren't so filling.  I think they've thought about that one when putting the menu together!  We'll have to branch out and try the one [not an Akbar's] in Altrincham next."

"I thought Akbar's was very good indeed.  I had a nice chicken pakora for starter - nice big bits of chicken in a light batter.  I have had this dish at Akbar's (The Grand) in Leeds, where it was particularly spicy, but the one here was just right for me.  I then had a fish and potato curry (can't remember the exact type).  This was amazing - possibly the best curry I have ever had.  Nice bits of smoked fish and small potatoes in a sauce that was not too saucy, which I like, and not too oily.  It also had a good kick to it - about as spicy as I could stand.  If I went back, I would definitely order the same.  And the naan bread is worth getting for the comedy factor (and it's a pretty decent naan too).  All in all, I thought it was better than most of the Rusholme curry houses, and on a par with the food at Shimlas, but probably better value for money."

"Very nice décor and reasonable prices for a 'posh' curry restaurant.  The quality of the food was good too - fresh ingredients and no nasty food colourings.  The giant naans added novelty value, but were a bit on the dry side.  Overall: 4 out of 5."
