" Akbar is the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to in New York! The service is swift, and the staff is always smiling and welcoming. The food is truly authentic; each dish is meticulously prepared and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend the Gobi Manchurian and Lamb Chops—they never fail to impress! Just an incredible dining experience that leaves you wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by friendly staff. We were seated promptly and enjoyed a lovely ambiance throughout our meal. The Chicken Malai Tikka and Paneer Tikka were excellent starters, just the right amount of spice. The main courses were even better! I can’t express how much I loved the Biryani - it was aromatic and flavorful. Perfectly cooked! I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back again for another great meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful experience at Akbar this weekend. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and the service was top-notch. The Chicken Curry had a wonderful richness and depth of flavor—definitely one of the best I've had! The only drawback was that the naan was slightly overcooked. All in all, I enjoyed my meal, and I’m glad I tried this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a very memorable family gathering at Akbar. The setup for larger parties is excellent and accommodating. We had a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The Chicken Biryani was a standout—rich in flavors and really filling! The servers worked hard to ensure we had everything we needed without being obtrusive. Highly recommend for family events! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I recently tried Akbar for my birthday, and I must say it was an amazing experience! The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a pleasant ambience that set the mood for a lovely evening. Our server was attentive and friendly, which made ordering a breeze. We started with the garlic naan, which was hands down the best I’ve ever had. For entrees, we opted for the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Vindaloo. The chicken was tender and the sauce was full of flavor, while the lamb was spicy and delicious. I truly appreciated the authenticity of the dishes, as they reminded me of the meals I enjoyed back in India. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for dinner with some friends. It was crowded, but the staff managed well. However, our server took a long time to check on us and bring our drinks. The food was quite delicious! I loved the Malai Kofta and Naan bread. The only downside was the portion size; while the food tasted great, I felt like I could have used a little more to fill me up. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, my experience at Akbar was forgettable. The food lacked freshness, and the service was painfully slow. My Chicken Biryani was underwhelming and tasted more like a poorly made stir fry than a traditional dish. While the setting is lovely, I wouldn’t recommend it based on this visit alone. " (*Curated Review*)
