Just had the most amazing meal at La Indika. Definitely the best Indian restaurant The new owners have certainly upped the game with the quality of the food and brilliant service. Looking forward to our next visit to this amazing restaurant

We went in for a mid week meal, and had to most fantastic experience. Only recently moved to the area we have been checking out all the local restaurants. I understand that AKASH was recently taken over and the service and food was exceptional! Every mouthful was delicious, the kind of delicious when you are full and don't stop eating. Staff were very friendly and the ambience even on a quieter Wednesday night was good. We will definitely be coming back. I fear the pictures won't do it justice but the food was excellent.

I know a few people have asked for Indian food recommendations recently. We have just had a meal for 10 at the Akash and can’t recommend them highly enough. Amazing food at reasonable prices. A good selection of food including a substantial vegetarian menu (not just sides) and the fish curry was fantastic. The service was excellent, they helped us order the right number of sides and were quick with our drinks, very attentive. We will definitely be back again!

We have been going to the Akash since 1983 and were delighted to discover that the food is still first class under the new management. The menu features old favourites and a selection of interesting and tasty new dishes too. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and throughout our visit. We will certainly be returning soon and highly recommend the restaurant to anyone who enjoys a good curry.

Everything about this restaurant was 5 star. The host was super friendly, the service was friendly, chatty and helpful. The food was phenomenol. The croquets devine! All of the flavours were sooo good. And it was a really nice atmosphere to dine in. Also felt the food was reasonably priced. Two starters, 1 main to share two deserts, plus two cocktails including service charge was £74. I will definitely be coming again.

Tried to get a table, in a restaurant with only two people in it, only to be told “we are fully booked”. Even the two people eating started making comments saying “ must be a party of ghosts in”. After visiting another restaurant we went passed Akash an hour later and still 75% of the tables where empty.

Booked last minute while visiting the area. Turned up slightly early and were seen to our seats with no problems. Popadums were lovely, my main course was king prawns but they delivered chicken tikka, not a problem as they took it back and the prawns turned up in a few minutes. Well worth the wait as the food tasted superb. The whole meal was lovely and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend!

We accidentally placed an order from BOLTON and cancelled the order 7 minutes after it was placed after was realised it was the wrong restaurant. The order was expected to be ready in 1hr 10 minutes. They originally agreed to a refund and told us that they hadn’t even started cooking it yet and would be another 30 minutes before they would even start. Then we received a phone call and said it was already made - 9 minutes after the order was placed and after we had been told it hadn’t even been cooked!!! The owners were rude, patronising and disgusting the way they spoke to me on the phone and refused to accept our cancellation. They tried to take a picture of someone else’s food and told it was our food despite the ticket saying it was to be collected over an hour and a half way! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE!!!!!! They are unbelievably unprofessional and penny grabbing! BELIEVE THE ONE STAR REVIEWS BECAUSE THEY ARE TRUE!!!!’

Just visited and experienced a somewhat mixed feeling with this restaurant. On the whole the food was very good with the exception to a chicken tikka dish. The dish was very tasty except it was quite chewy - the ends were lovely and very tender. I asked the waiter as to whether it could be taken back and possibly be cooked a little longer. The manager returned and disputed that chicken was either chewy or undercooked. The manager then concluded the conversation by asking ‘ What do want me to do about it ?’ Somewhat aghast at his direct comment, not wanting to argue and embarrass my family, I then asked him to leave it on the table. Having just experienced lockdown one would question as to whether these guys really need the business

My wife placed an order last night for a curry takeaway through an Uber app around just after 7pm Our ordered was processed and on the app they've informed us what time the food will be arriving. Unfortunately the time was moved to a more later time of the night. My wife rang them twice and chasing where is our food. The people who were answering the phone doesn't had any clue nor they don't even know what to say apart from saying the food is on its way. After one hour food has finally arrived. We are so hungry and we are really looking forward to a great meal time together since it's our special day celebrating our 10th Anniversary. I think a simple apology and recognised the inconvenience that it has caused on us but nothing has said, because I believe that would make a big difference just to assured us when it comes what's going on. Don't pretend or assumed nothing is wrong where it is clearly the service was really poor. I do hope this would rectify for future services and take this on board to improved their quality of service. Having all said these, the food was so amazing and we really enjoyed it. We do both loved the carmelised buttered rice. The Naan bread was so delicious. Our both main meal the Bhuna beef and Chicken Tikka was so exquisite scrumptious.

Firstly, it's worth saying that the food was really nice - kudos to the chef. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for food (we only ordered mains), followed by another 20 minutes between asking for the bill, and receiving it. Our table was also very close to the neighbouring one (the closest lady on the next table was definitely less than 1m away), and staff only wore masks intermittently, or incorrectly (pulled down round their neck in most cases), which made us feel a little uneasy. That said, the food was lovely, and they were doing a 50% off promotion. We heard several phone calls with disgruntled takeaway customers whilst we were there, so it seems they just committed to too many orders.

We have visited before, but last Friday we visited having booked a table for 8pm for 4 peopleArriving on time, the restaurant was full and our table still occupied, so we were parked at the busy Bar area for over 30minutesEventually our table was vacated by the previous customers.We had the usual Papadoms whilst choosing and ordered our food. Over ONE hour later at around 9.30our starters arrived...one of which was inedible (Tough Calamaris).Despite constant promises of main courses arriving in "2 minutes" from staff, the manager had conveniently disappeared.We did notice however that numerous "Takeaways" were leaving the premises during our wait.With no explanations or apologies, and still no food, at 10 pm we decided that a 2 hour wait was enough and we left.I have never done this before in my life. This totally ruined what was to be a special family evening, and was patently down to overbooking, overstretching and greed.WE WILL NEVER VISIT AGAIN.

Been going to Akash for many years, it is by far the best Indian restaurant in the Burnham and surrounding areas. Ever since Ricky has taken Over it’s improved even more, as not many Indian restaurant in the area do Indian street food. Great customer service, all staff are friendly. Went last night to collect a take away with my 5 year old daughter, and they gave myself a complimentary cobra, and also my daughter got a small sized lemonade while we waited and then was given another can and a hand full of chocolate for home with her meal. Can not rate this place enough.

The Akash is one of three Indian restaurants in Burnham High Street, located at the bottom closest to Burnham Park. The restaurant itself was renovated fairly recently and now offers a relaxing atmosphere with seating interspersed with screens to give some privacy. The food too has been revamped. Still the same staples of Indian cuisine, but presentation is of a higher standard than the usual Indian restaurant. Our meals were served piping hot. My only gripe was my biriyani was a little bland, but I would definitely come back and try a spicier dish next time !

We have an annual Lord’s Taverners cricket match at Bray and each year we ask the Akash to provide food for the players. This year was the first under the new team and they did not disappoint. Very tasty chicken tikka, gentle rice and excellent medium hot lamb curry where the meat melted on your fork. Hugely appreciated by the players and accompanied by their signature mango chutney. Thankyou. An excellent afternoon

This used to be a regular for us - eating in occasionally, but usually a takeaway; it was never less than good. Having moved away, we recently came back to the area and had our first takeaway since returning. Wow! It was superb - best ever from this restaurant, and one of the best curries we’ve ever had. The king prawns were huge and really tasty, naans were soft and perfectly cooked, but everything was superb. As an added bonus, the staff were super friendly and it was excellent value.

Food was nice naan really tasty and fresh.. Not enough on the mixed grill for £13 was still hungry later.. Last time we came was given a voucher for £10 off of this voucher it says for 4 people only they did not want to honour the voucher they said they would discuss and find out with manager but didn't give us an answer just came with the bill we again asked and they said no it is for 4 people only we said well we will split the bill then between 4 3 and 2 separate bills they kept saying no we explained that we were given the voucher and told come back in the end they did honour it but was very off putting and ended the evening on a sour note we spent £200 in there but maybe not come again

Heard about the recent refurb and was excited to give this place a go. My loyalties are with other local curry houses, however Akash has just seriously grabbed my attention. I just ordered through the website (which is really slick) and collected the takeaway which was ready in 20 mins. ALL of the food was delicious. The samosas were tasty and the Chicken Tikka Pathia is up there with the best currys I've ever had. My wife also really enjoyed her Paneer Korma. To add to this, none of the food was oily! Great work Akash. We will be back very soon.

I never believed this place could improve but since they completed thier refurbishment, new management and new menu all I can say is WOW!!! The food is the highest quality with a modern twist, includes halloumi for example. Food cooked fresh, traditional meals but addition of street food adds a whole new dynamic. There is no similar quality Indian anywhere nearby and I doubt even Brick Lane or the curry mile can offer better and I have tried many. Really reasonable prices too. Thank you for a great service and a whole new level of delicious food.

We have been going to the Akash every couple of months for the last 35 years. We went on the Friday before the restaurant closed for refurbishment and found the owner very subdued. We went again after it re-opened and found that there had also been a complete change of management, staff and menu. We were put on a table next to one of the new glass partitions with bubbles rising through water - which was very distracting. We thought we would try some of the new dishes, but the slow-cooked Kolkata lamb was just a mush tasting neither of lamb nor spices. When the waiter came to take payment by card, he misread a "3" on the bill as an "8" - it may have been only 50p more, but it was sloppy.

I always went to this restaurant minimum once a month, the food was awesome and the service was excellent but I was very disappointed on my last visit on Wednesday 24 Oct where I wanted to treat my daughter to a nice Indian meal. I was surprised to see there was a new refurbishment which looked nice but there was a new team serving which appeared to be all over the place despite it wasn't that busy. They had new plates and new cutlery, the food was extremely disappointing, tasteless, poor and the portion was half of what it used to be. I am really disappointed I shan't be returning.

After a change of management and a refurbishment we were keen to try out the Akash. Very glad we did as it was amazing. The whole look of the restaurant is inviting and classy. The décor has been well thought out and there are many references to the Indian culture and history which are charming and interesting. Staff were welcoming and attentive and happy to tell us about the new dishes on the menu. Attention to detail was second to none. The new owner Ricky came to our table and introduced himself and told us all about the new menu and the inspiration behind it which was lovely. Great menu, incorporating traditional and new dishes made it hard to decide. We chose a lamb chop starter and Mumbai chicken roti which were incredible. Mains of Naga lamb and the tandoori bazaar feast were equally as good. My partner does not eat prawns but they gladly replaced the m for some extra meat. We ordered a side of phaal sauce which was made especially for us, and chips which were not on the menu but also were made for us. Naan breads were delicious and the best thing of all was the Indian mashed potato. A must have side dish! We were given a complimentary drink at the end which rounded off an incredible dining experience. Thank you Ricky and your team and we wish you all the best in your new venture. We will definitely return!

Visited on a Monday so not sure if the A team were off but it was disappointing, especially after their refurb, we were there nearly two hours for a starter (well poppadoms) and a main, we were sat next to one of those water feature walls so think my bladder felt fuller than it really was, the guy who seated us did ask us if that table was ok and not having been there since the installation of the water walls didn’t realise it would be an issue. Would decline it in the future as the noise is also a little distracting.

Have just returned from a birthday meal here and have mixed feelings. The place has indeed been refurbed and looks the part however the service on a Monday evening was lacking. We were there over an hour and had still only had a poppadum. Main courses arrived around an hour after ordering and that was after us having to ask a member of staff if we could order to begin with. Food when it eventually arrived was lovely, we tried the street chicken curry. The toilet lock on the ladies loo was broken making it very difficult to use! Would I return ..... probably not.

Wow! It was amazing. Halloumi Tava was so so good! Best curry I’ve ever had. Food is super fresh, not oily and the restaurant looks fab inside. Will eat in next time! Highly recommended.

went last night 25th September after booking for myself and my German friend who was over on business and has like me has been to the Akash many times in the past. We were greeted by the new manager Rikki and his team. They were very friendly and as its only been re-opened for 1 day, I can honestly say the food was on a par or even better than before. The menu is fantastic and diverse and they now offer delivery on orders over £14.00 and 10 per cent discount on collections. Good luck to Rikki and I will definitely been visiting again really soon and will be ordering deliveries as this was never an option before. When you go have a look at the Water Features - you won't miss them - fantastic and the refurb is very authentic, clean and smart and modern. The team looked very smart in matching uniforms which tied in with the new Marketing and Menus.

As a “curry brummy”, I’m used to the real deal when it comes to curries. Based on reviews here we gave it a go and glad we did. Excellent starters of prawn purée and sheer kebab, and although the wheels were very small they were very flavourful. Wouldn’t have them again bough at the price. The two mains were perfect, opting for the house curry and a mild dish for my partner. Very nicely cooked with tender chicken. I’d recommend this place without hesitation. Ali gave good service and some free Baileys at the end too.

Gourmet Indian food, excellent service, quaint atmosphere and super friendly owner. This is the first restaurant I ate in after moving from Canada. Showed me what authentic curry is all about. Great drinks too!

Ate here yesterday with a group of mates and realise that we have discovered a hidden gem in the Burnham hills. The restaurant is plainly decorated and looks basic but the food and service are excellent. If you are into your beers try the Bangladeshi bottled beer. Prices are very good so the bill was surprisingly low.

Great Indian cuisine cooked to you liking if you choose to be specific, including being happy to leave the ghee glaze off the tandoori or tikka dishes for those watching their weight! Friendly service at table or for take away, nothing is too much trouble. I don’t ever have a bad tummy after eating here - not something I can say about all Indian restaurants I have tried!

Akash is one of three Indian restaurants in Burnham , located on the right as you reach the bottom of the High Street. We visited in a Sunday evening and the place was deserted. The decor is fairly typical and service friendly. Overall however, all of the meals we ordered were rather bland. OK, but I think I'll stick with Peppers further up the High Street.

Fabulous choice of dishes on the menu. Each dish that came was generous compared to other Indian restaurants. The garlic Naan bread was enormous! I tasted quite a few dishes which were all nice. The vegetable curry wasn't very curry-ish, if you get my meaning, but it was all very tasty anyway.

We ordered a takeaway dinner from here and it was divine!!! Amazing food. What a way to enjoy a Sunday dinner. Happy we found a local Indian restaurant to order from going forward. Thank you!

This is my favourite Thai restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh and expertly cooked. I particularly love the fish cakes and fish and prawn dishes. You also can’t go wrong with their green curry too. The staff are incredibly helpful and attentive. It’s tucked down a side street so easy to miss, but you should definitely find it and go here.
