In my opinion THE BEST Indian restaurant in Horsham. Excellent dishes, reasonably priced, great service (Mash the owner is always personable, welcomes everyone as if they are his special guests, fabulous customer service). I love it! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Wow what a find, we found this hidden gem by accident and how pleased were my family and i. From entering to leaving this restaurant is a must go to. The food was simply amazing , The Variety Biryani is must try so so nice, the Sylheti Kebab was divine and Amer Salmon was well what can I say it was out of this world !! I eat curries all over the Uk with work, I was on a day out with my family and have to say it was one of the best restaurant experience have had in years, customer service second to none, the atmosphere was relaxed, nothing was a rush and on a Sunday evening restaurant was majority full yet nothing was problem to the staff, they went above and beyond and all my family said how nice everything was from start to finish. Well done to the Akash Team, thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back soon. Aarez and family. xx

Very disappointed with the quality of the food we have been going there for a few years and was not expecting such disappointing food the chicken tikka was over cooked very dry and cut in very small pieces my wife’s food was also not good given her a upset stomach! ! Such a shame as normally it’s a good restaurant. We could only eat half of the food and thought the rest away. I should have complained but couldn’t be bothered with complaining that’s the reason for posting this review. It’s very expensive now days to eat out and we should expect good food cooked well

We booked a table here as the reviews rated this as the best Indian restaurant in Horsham. The food was well presented and tasted good, however, it lacked the wow factor that I was expecting. Being Saturday evening, the restaurant was full, so the service was rather slow. If you like a relaxed service over several hours this place will suit you.

This was our first time at the Akash and it certainly won't be the last. Got there at 6.40 pm to find the place more than half full ( Thursday evening ). All six of us thought the food was fantastic, good portions and reasonably priced. Service was excellent. By the time we left the restaurant was virtually full. We are from Haywards Heath so Horsham is a bit of a mission by train but well worth it. Big thanks to the Akash for a lovely meal.

Always a favourite for us. The flavours are spot on, perfectly balanced with a great selection... being Asian myself, its a joy to find somewhere local that hits the mark. The service is always friendly, genuine and attentive.

Four of us had dinner at the Akash last night, and have to say it was the best curry we’ve had in a long time, and we’ve been to many curry houses round Horsham and surrounding areas. The food was superb, tasty, full of flavours and served to perfection. Presented well and generous portions. The staff were very friendly and provided a fantastic service with smiles. The curries had good portions of meat/seafood and delicious sauces. The starters were amazing and very generously sized. Highly recommend! 10/10.

After a previous outstanding review of this place a couple of years ago, it is with regret I have to say things how gone down hill on the take away front anyway! Order arrived cold and dishes were not what they said on the outside, meat also really chewy. V disappointed therefore that will be the last time we order from here unfortunately.

I visited this restaurant in 2022 and thought it was extremely good. I have recently moved to Horsham and after trying a couple other venues in town thought I would return to Akash. I can only say that it is still exceptional, the staff and service are 10/10. The food is quite simply wonderful. Give this gem a try, you will not be disappointed

Party of five for a family celebration. We had five starters and five main courses, along with rice, Nan breads and sides. All aspects of our meal was served in good time, well presented and hot. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My chilli king prawns, to start, were especially delicious. All the staff were polite and respectful.

A friend and I visited the Akash recently and had a brilliant experience. It was a busy evening, but we’d been pre warned that our booking was for 2 hours (we were quite an early sitting). When we arrived they told us that if we wanted to stay longer we could and they were super accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious. We shared a mixed starter, and then ordered the king prawn tandoori and a goan chicken curry with some sides. The flavours were insane, maybe one of the best Indian meals we’d ever had. The waiting staff were so attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a lovely evening. Honestly I do think it is the best Indian restaurant in the local area. Thanks for a lovely evening and incredible food!

My husband and I, decided to try it, it was packed and we booked quite a few days before. We were sat by the busy bar, which people kept standing by our table to pick up their takeaway. We ordered our drinks, I ordered a rose, which was horrible, my husband ordered vodka coke. We asked for tap water for the table, we never got the water, I asked for a replacement drink which wasn’t any better. But decided not to keep asking. We waited about an hour for our food. We had butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and our rices and a naan bread, which was tiny. We had our food which was not up to expectations, we were left disappointed. We decided after that we would get bill and leave. Won’t be going back again.

I am definitely looking forward for a night out here in the future.

The restaurant had worked hard to comply with COVID regulations, and they have done an excellent job. They have reduced the number of tables and have also introduced a delivery service.This is a very family oriented restaurant and they always provide a warm welcome for all. I had Chilli Lamb for starters and a Desi Lamb for main. Both were cooked really nice and both were tasty. The family members also had really nice enjoyable food. The service was good and all the staff are friendly and always happy to chat. This is the best curry restaurant in the Horsham area.

Ordered takeaway as it was my birthday as a bit of a treat. I had eaten here before a long time ago when I first came to horsham and remember it being OK. Anyway it turned up on time, but everything else was just horrible. Korma I got for my kids was hideous, so sweet. I can do a better job with a jar of pataks. I had a Bhuna, utterly tasteless. For 80 pounds which is a lot for a bit of dinner was awful. I won't eat here again. Pataks is better ..save yourself the money Ordered takeaway as it was my birthday as a bit of a treat.

I've been a regular at Akash for about the last 10 years. Usually I'm there solo, sometimes with friends. The food and service has always been great, friendly & welcoming. When I'm there solo, to have more variety I usually order more dishes than I can comfortably eat in one sitting, they're always happy to pack up whatever's left for me to take away. In these Lockdown Days they've started Delivery (which I've not used) and have set up for nicely socially distanced Take-away / Pick-up. Had Chicken Jalfrezi, Pilao Rice, Bombay Aloo (Potato), Chana Masalla from them just recently - awesome. Only problem was to not drool all over myself on the drive home ! 100% recommended.

Never used the restaurant before. Based on the good reviews on Trip Advisor decided to try it for delivery. (Good on them for expanding their service to include delivery while closed for dine in and take out).That said, the food was very disappointing. Of the three main course chicken dishes, the chicken was dry and bland in each case. The chicken itself seemed unseasoned and overcooked then added to a generic sauce with perhaps some etxra heat added. The Chicken Tikka Masala (or Mossalla as it is on the menu) was unappetisingly bright red and seemed to be a coloured version of the Chicken Korma. The chicken vindaloo was OK, but again, the chicken was dry and bland. Naan breads were good and fresh, and the mushrrom rice was unremakable. It is relativey expensive which adds to the dissappointment but even at a lower cost I would not use again or be able to recommend.

we have eaten at the Akash for many year's,we live locally and always said it's the best, in the area, about 6/8 month's ago we had a meal there, and the service was very slow, the papadom's were stale, the rice was old, over all not good, but we said to each other, that's unusual for the Akash, and we came back, well what can i say other than terrible....we were greeted in the usual pleasant way, and showed to our table,we ordered our drink's, and some papadom's, they were chewy, and stale, the Raitha was very watery, then our main was delivered to the table. i ordered a lamb Desi, a spicy lamb curry in a rich spicy sauce,with whole green chillies, it was'nt spicy, there was'nt any green chillie's in it at all, not one, it was like a beef stew, the mushroom rice was dry and old, my husband ordered a continental Balti, that was nice, but the pilaf rice was bry and old, like it had been cooked day's ago, kept in the fridge and reheated, in there defence, the waiter came over and asked how's our meal, and i said my curry is very bland, its ment to be a spicy lamb Desi, and he said he could take it to the kitchen and spice it up for me, but i said no, i didnt want my food messed about with when i had half of it on my plate,its a shame, but we wont be eating there again, in our opinion, they have gone from excellent, to very, very poor.

My friend assured me that this was the best place to get Indian food in Horsham but I left not entirely sure that he was right. The service was pleasant and the food was tasty but my meal wasn't exactly what I ordered and as I was chatting and eating I got about halfway through before realising, so didn't moan. It was still nice, just not what I ordered. At the end of the evening the bill was added up incorrectly so much in our favour that we pointed out the mistake and paid the proper price. Overall a pleasant evening but not spectacular. I like table cloths and perhaps something to keep the food hot on the table but these were not present. Just needs a few refinements to get top marks from me. Polite staff and quite busy for a midweek day so expect they will be okay without a return visit from me.

Started well with drinks delivered quickly after ordered, and ordered popadums at the same time as the drinks from the first waiter. Popadums hadn’t arrived after about 15 minutes so asked if they were on the way and got an apology from waiter number 1 and popadums arrived shortly after. Later ordered a second beer from waiter number 2 and waited about 15 minutes with no joy. Advised waiter number 2 that I had ordered a beer and he said “yes it’s on the way” but clearly it wasn’t - with nobody doing anything behind the bar.

Brilliant food, great atmosphere, always have the best time. Recommend to everyone in the area. If you’re looking for great service, and great Indian food to dine in, Akash is exceptional 👍

Having had such incredible Curry’s in the past I’m generally disappointed but really like Akash. We ordered takeaway and it was the lovely service that encouraged me to write a review. Looked a great vibe in the restaurant as well. I thought my chicken was a bit odd (and always sceptical of how fresh) but it was such a tasty, “authentic” curry and as close to a Pathia as I’ve had in a long time. Having said that my idea of a Pathia is just what I first had.

I ate here tonight whilst away on business. I always eat Indian food whilst away on business (40 nights/year) and also cook it from scratch at home. I was warmly welcomed and shown to my table. I started with poppadoms and the pickle tray. My main was Chicken Bengal with a plain nan and Dhal. I asked if the Dhal was Deshi style and was told yes. It wasn’t. Deshi style is home style cooking. The flavour was good and not westernised but there was zero chilli heat which is traditional. The chicken Bombay was disappointing. There was a good amount of chicken but there was no depth of flavour. Overall very average. Good service throughout but the food was not great.

My first time here - took some friends from France & USA - had such a great meal. Spice levels were exactly right, and the flavours were perfect. My unexpected outstanding dish was the side dish brinjal bhaji (not what you’d expect like an onion bhaji; it was still caramelised onion/veg but the texture was spoonable). Could eat several bowls of it, for sure. Also unexpectedly wonderful was the raw onion with the pickles for the poppadums. Mild and flavourful; didn’t linger on the breath.

As always this is arguably the best Indian Restaurant in Horsham - the staff are always so helpful and polite. The food is exceptional, good portion size and great value for money.

Having pre-booked for a party of 10 we were very disappointed to receive such shabby treatment. It took about half an hour for poppadoms to arrive then finally, literally just short of 2 hours after our arrival the main course arrived. There was no apology or explanation until just before the food appeared which is just plain rude. They did take some money off the bill but it really didn’t make up for it. The food was ok. Restaurants should surely be prepared to be busy on Saturday night .

Akash is a really good curry house that complements the usual curry staples with a wide range of its own specialities.

This place IS the best Indian in Horsham, if not West Sussex. Food is fresh and full of flavour, been several times and never had a bad experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Have been going to Akash for years' and have never been disappointed. Service is always superb but the food is the real winner here.

I've been to Darchini and New Curry Centre and both were as good as Akash, but Akash is closer so we go there more as a family. They normally manage to fit us in early doors without booking, even on weekends. 9yo and 7yo are treated kindly and the chicken tikka is very nice and tender, they love it. Rice portions are sensible sized unlike some restaurants that give you massive bowls of it to fill you up. They managed to cope with a friend that is coeliac/on a gluten free diet with no issues. Plenty of attention so extra drinks and requirements are taken care of quickly. Have been in as part of a large group and they coped well with ordering and split payments.

My husband and I went to Akash last month as we were staying in nearby Rusper and TripAdvisor had them as no.1 in that area for Indian food and they had been around for decades according to their web page. We thought we'd give it a try even though the prices were a bit steep, central London prices. We're willing to pay as long as we get good quality food, which was not the case in this instance. The food was just tasteless and small portioned, we didn't get any sauces or salads with our 2 starters as per normal in all the other Indian restaurants that we had gone to. The waiter wouldn't even leave our sizzler dish at the table but transferred the contents to our plates. Did they only have the one sizzler dish? Curries were bland and the rice was old, at least a few days old, I know as I cook rice a few times a week at home and know the difference between freshly made rice and that which had been refrigerated for several days. Really disappointed with Akash and TripAdvisor and feel sorry for the people of Horsham if this is the best Indian food that they can expect around there.

Just ordered my first takeaway. Had one of the meal deals which was incredible value for the amount of food included (under £9 for main sized curry and rice) and tastes delicious.

Myself and my family have been coming to Darchinis since we moved to the area (11 years ago) - and we can never fault the quality of both the food and the service. The food is always amazing, fresh and hot - and the staff are so lovely and polite. They recently won an award, and we were all so happy to hear it - it couldn't have gone to more deserving people. We will carry on coming here for hopefully many more years :)
