Akash Tandoori in Blackpool

Lovely meal at Akashi, dishes were full of flavour and the naan bread was exceptionally good - no flour taste.

My friends and I had a really great time. I am really familiar with these kinds of food but this is the best one so far. The only downside is that I’m from the north east so I can’t come to eat in this place everyday. Would recommend to everyone if they ever asked me where is the best tandoori restaurant is.

4th visit on 4th trip to Blackpool. Unbeatable Tandoori - spicy Tarka Dhal, excellent Jalfrezi, superb Naan. Worth every penny. Excellent hosts - attentive, and good humoured. Looking forward to visit number 5.

I can honestly say this is the best Indian meal we've ever had 5 adults 2 children all of us agreed. Fantastic service and they accept the Taste card . Brilliant. But unfortunately it is not wheelchair friendly. Stairs upto restraunt and more to the loo. Taking that into account I still cannot drop any stars because everything was so good .

Absolutely gorgeous food. Highly recommend

Found this place by chance, greeted by a member of staff as he was entering the building. We asked if there was a table for 4 available and there was. Greeted again by more staff, all of which were very polite and friendly. Dining experience was great, from ordering drinks to food. I had a chicken tikka massala which tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit here, and we will certainly visit again. :)

Well, were shall I start WOW in one word,we was walking around looking for somewhere to eat (4 of us) came across this place we was a little unsure to start with. Then a very nice guy came past us and welcomed us in with plenty of space. Lovely clean place and lovely polite staff the food was the best I've had in a long time. This place could be the reason to visit Blackpool

Very friendly, tasty food, recommended by foodie locals. Welcoming on an incredibly busy day for Blackpool

Would definitely recommend here. The food was really good. One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in a long time. It wasn't overly expensive either.

Very running chicken madras, quality has dropped since last time. It used to be great

Pleasant staff and quick and food taste great.

Really lovely gear...recommended by Simon from my hotel. Unusual, indian restaurant.. as very good. Owner, and his team are really all over the place to make this a very good place, per service, food etc. probably up there in Blackpool, well done and don't change a thing.

the food is not good, and the delivery is late the delivery is rude.. saying I waste his time, eventhough I paid for delivery for 4 pounds

Lovely meal very friendly and attentive staff, very nice. We all opted for the tandoori special mixed grill and it didn't disappoint not one of us could finish it. Lovely little place. The only downside was all the stairs apart from that it was lovely.

One of the hidden gems of Blackpool. Fantastic food and friendly staff.

Really nice workers even offered me a beer while I waited for the food which was amazing, wait wasn’t too long considering how much we got, great service great food will definitely be going again

I had a delivery of food last night. The man was very polite and friendly. That was the end of the good. The chicken chat puree was ok but cold. The Korai was awful. The chicken tasted like it had been boiled and was like chewing rubber. It ended up in the bin. What a shame. I was really looking forward to my £24 meal. You have been warned.

Doesn't look much from the outside but don't let that fool you.. me and the mrs gave it a go and glad we did.. Best Indian meal either of us have had.. Excellent food Excellent and friendly service Very reasonably priced 100% recommend

I went to the akash a couple of days ago. I ordered a naga , it was so good the manager/ owner was chatty and treated us well. The bill was £50 for 2 and it we ordered starters main and drinks

Really good Indian in the centre of Blackpool. It was recommended to us. Very speedy service.

I have been visiting the restaurant every year since 2016. Good Food, good service. Looking forward to 2016.

Always great choice of vegan and veggie food, top quality

Been living here in UK for past few years and have tried curry houses all around. I had a chance to visit Blackpool for a vacation. After finding this amazing dining spot Akash Tandoori, I had to visit them three times in a week. Their tarka daal is my favourite dish so far and the lamb bhuna is absolutely mouthwatering. The service and hospitality was seamless as well. I would really recommend to try this place if ever visiting Blackpool. Will definitely revisit them again :))

Went there last night with a bunch of mates. Great food, great service, would recommend.

Best indian restaurant in blackpool .

Visited in June 2024 and ordered a number of dishes. Amazing food and service. Food arrived quickly and enjoyed by the whole family.

Great food and lovely, welcoming staff. Whenever we're in Blackpool we cannot skip going to the Akash. It's as much of a staple as Pleasure Beach or Coral Island. Highly recommend!

This place was a great find, for halal food.Had chicken karahi recommended by the staff with nan bread, tasted great as well, served hot, little ghee spread on top. The dessert was a great surprise, very tasty kufi. Finished it all, hence a picture of it before the last bite. There is no parking in the immediate vicinity, we walked around in the shopping area and stumbled upon it. It's a 15 min from bonny street car parking, 10 if you're a fast walker. The entrance is a staircase going upstairs. The main seating is upstairs so not wheelchair accessible. The stairs are big and manageable. The staff is very friendly.

madras not that tasty and pasander sauce very runny

Couldn’t ask for a more friendly welcome. But the food is what it’s all about and 100% it’s out of this world. Never usually write reviews but this place has well stood out. Thanks to you all Scott. Naomi and and 2 boys

Came here for the first time tonight and was absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend trying here, great food and service, we even got a few drink which was lovely of them to do so! Highly recommend coming here!!!!

Well what can I say akash never lets you down sammy grandad and team from starter chicken chat puri mixed grill and nan excellent it shows 36 yrs blackpool no1 5 * keep up the good work Sammy

I have again been let down by the delivery of tonight's order The vendor advised that the delivery would be at 17:45 whereas the delivery did not come until 18:10, by which time the food was only tepid.

Rubbish place as clerks don't seem to have a clear mind to even do the calculation properly. They are trying to charge you more when you are checking the price you paid, wow what a restaurant!

It is disappointing that all the sauce mixed up with my rice

Always great food . been going here 30 years. The owner we see as a personal friend we have been going that long. Traditional Indian with great food and service. Best in Blackpool so much so we have stopped trying other when we are in town

Proper, old school curry house. Great portions, spicy curry just right, great pint and fantastic service for a good price.

Delicious Indian food in Blackpool!! Yummy 😋

My Indian friends when they come to the UK have had many great meals here with me when we visit Blackpool. They rate the Akash as genuine Indian food and way better than the average British Indian establishment. I will be back.

Fast delivery. Lot of food for the price paid which is good. Food not salted at all which is also good for average but I would prefer salted food.

First time at Akash and I bought a £12.65 Tandoori Mixed Grill, It was tasty and fresh, good portion size and I got some free poppadoms, it was basically a good meal for one with a bit left over for tomorrow so very good value

It was OK had a lot nicer. Felt a bit rushed in there even though nobody was in there the old man couldn't wait to take your plates hadn't even finished.

Update 25th Feb 2024 Great food good value good service this is a fantastic restaurant have highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💎

Great place, fantastic food, be back again in a few weeks, very friendly owner

Really good food and friendly staff.

Nice food but portion for price is a bit on the small side but other than that lovely

Excellent food, fantastic service, competitively priced would Highly Recommend 👌

Very Beautuful Village. I love it

Quiet a steep climb up some stairs before entry to restaurant, toilets are negotiated by yet another flight of stairs. Staff very friendly and attentive on our arrival and during our stay. Food was excellent my wife's main ( chicken tikka saagwala) was according to her the best she had tasted, my chicken tikka jalfrezi was excellent, reasonably priced and a complementary drink offered on departure, would definitely call again if my wife can manage the stair climb.

I rang the restaurant for an update as my order was running a little late. They apologised for the delay and said they were really busy, New years day so completely understandable. When my food arrived not only was it piping hot massive portions and absolutely delicious, they included a load of free items as well, I suppose to apologise for the delay. Naan bread, poppadoms and sauces, and side salads. Maybe everyone gets that but either way, first class service. My new go to indian food from now on, simple as that. Can't wait to try more dishes from their menu. Thanks so much to the team at Akash for going the extra mile and a happy new year to you all.

Missing my rice and everything else too spicy to even eat poppadoms all crushed up

Always a fabulous meal! Great service!

While in Blackpool we had 2 come back here again especially after the 1st time we came as the owner & staff make u feel so welcome & very friendly, & amazing food. We ordered a mix grill as 1 of our meal this time & all the meats just melts in your mouth. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to family & friends as they wont be disappointed 👌

Nice and tidy. Yum yum. Be back January 2024 ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Called up made an order for delivery to cleveleys, it was delivered quickly, and the most Amazing food it was delicious, will deffo be back

Not happy at all with the order was all wrong and wasn’t bothered about sorting it out for me as the man said he was too busy!! And the food wasn’t the best wow never again stay away!!

Food and service were excellent

Lots of Asian people dining , including small children at the time of my visit, which tells me a lot. The service was excellent and so was the food. I’m definitely going back 🤗

Food was not warm. Later than expected

Excellent Naga, great service by Sam

This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Staff are so polite, helpful and caring and speedy service and everything was excellent and tasty will definitely recommend you try it.

Great place for an Indian. Food was absolutely beautiful, and they are on Meerkat Meals too, even better!!! Definitely come here again

Excellent food great service ,small tables

Great Indian food, sizzling mixed grill exceptional. Friendly helpful staff and service

Best Indian restaurant in Blackpool .. Great service and friendly staff .. don't rush you like other restaurants.. fresh food and very tasty. Generous portions. won't be disappointed if you visit. Definitely recommend 👌

Amazing food, lovely staff, will definitely be returning

Very nice food in this restaurant….. I back again🤗😇😍

Best Indian meal we have had,never had one as tasty,good value and excellent service

I came with my wife and the foods were really good and their stuff and the services were really fantastic. A nice place for the indian food lovers.

Really lovely food. Staff really friendly and attentive. Worth taking the trouble to find it, tucked away. Would definitely return

Food was very tasty but not hot on arrival. We had to reheat everything! Not ideal when it’s chicken

Can after seeing good reviews on trip advisor. Food was amazing . Best korma we've ever had ( chicken tikka korma) as well as the other dishes were all really nice. Also chili mango dip for the poppadoms was sooo good! Overal the food wasn't greasy at all. Just full of flavour. Staff were so nice and friendly. Had a lovely chat about tattoos! Hopefully be back when we next visit Blackpool again.

We have been to Akash tandoori at Blackpool, today & I am so impressed, enjoyed very nice Indian, vegetarian foods, we eat jain foods,( without onion, garlic) they make it special for us, and taste was so delicious I recomand to all

Only good thing was Simon on the bar very polite and helpful unlike the servers , food was terrible would not recommend

Great food. Great service. Highly recommend.

Best good i have tasted in Blackpool great host

The best Indian in Blackpool. A big thank you to Sami and Simon for a fantastic experience from start to finish.

We went in for take away. This place has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. It is a hidden gem. The food was outstanding. I cannot fault one bit of it. Highly recommended and when we visit Blackpool again we will be back in for a sit in meal.

When in Blackpool always go to akash tandoori.very friendly welcome from staff.service second to none.portions big at a great price.all food amazing .like a throw back to the taste of seventies curries .highly recommend.will be back for sure again

Heard about this restaurant from the Cask and Tap next door, glad I did great food and staff, I was up from Derby for football and went here after the match, 1030pm. I had a mixed kebab starter, chicken kharahi, mushroom rice and a keema nan, washed down with a pint of Cobra, really enjoyed it, I will be back. Edit... I can't really comment on the atmosphere as it was late evening on a Tuesday and there were only two other people in.

Absolutely delicious food and great delivery time. Would highly recommend.

It was cold and the chicken was like rubber.

Updated Sept 23, great food, great service and good atmosphere. Akash Tandoori restaurant is one of those places you walk past during the daytime and never notice it's there. That's a big mistake. This venue serves some of  the nicest food I have tasted. Lots of flavours and cooked piping hot. Staff are pleasant and polite, venue is clean and tastefully decorated. On this occasionI i had, poppadoms for starters with 4 different sauce dips all full of flavour, for main the Tandoori chicken which came on a sizzling plate on a bed of onions, pilue rice, curry sauce, fries and a garlic nan bread. All the food was full of flavour and tasted really good. Definitely worthy of the 5 star review. Staff are very respectful and time their visits to your table without it being obtrusive. From street level you have to take a flight of stairs up to the restaurant. Most of the seating is set out so you feel as if you are at your own private Booth but they also cater for larger parties which is more open. There is also a bar area with a good selection of wines and beers. Toilets are up another level of stairs so the only downside is it's not really suitable for disabled or impaired walking. Taxis can be called via the restaurant or easily obtained within a 2min walk around the corner. If you like Indian food then you need to try this place out on your next visit to Blackpool If this review was informative enough for you give it a thumbs up or like to let other know about the place.

Excellent food. Some of the best ever and good portions. Beer also at acceptable cost not the eye-watering costs you sometimes find. Anyhow brilliant food.

Honestly absolutely amazing! Supper authentic and incredibly tasty. Thanks for having us 😊

Always have a curry at Akash while visiting Blackpool and we are never disappointed. Lovely food, great service and reasonable prices. Best curry house in Blackpool by far

Fantastic food Fantastic service very polite and welcoming highly recommended. We will return for our wedding anniversary next year thank you

Can't fault the place really, food excellent, service great and a reasonable price. Friendly owner too.

Had a really lovely meal here and a great laugh with the staff. Curry was delicious as was the mushroom rice. Husband loved the keema nan.

Absolutely phenomenal food No complaints at all, quality food excellent service and well worth a visit

Excellent food, still piping hot and delivered on time 👍

The waiter sighed in a very bad-mannered way because we shared a naan and rice. 🔔🔚

We always come here when we have a weekend in Blackpool, friendly staff, lovely food and excellent service.

Food was nice, faster delivery to martin caravan village.

Without a doubt some of the most amazing food we have had in the UK and Ireland in the past 3 months on our travels. The service was attentive, friendly and comforting. The food was exceptional. From the Nann bread to the Prawn Vindaloo, the Lamb Tikka Masala and the beautiful dips and poppadoms. In Blackpool for 3 nights and we had dinner 2 nights here. Excellently seasoned, good portions and without a doubt great value for money. We are both in hospitality and we can say with full heart....Well done to the guys front and back of house.....you are a credit to yourselves and the hospitality industry. When the "Happy smiling Australian and the Irishman" come back this side of the world we will absolutley be coming in for a bite to eat. Good on you guys.

Me and my partner have gone here two nights in a row..... the food is authentic and the staff (shout out to Sammi and Abdul) are fan-flipping-tastic! We went to a Thai place a few shops down tonight ('Boonnak') and it was so dreadfully disappointing. We should have stuck with Akash ...

Having been turned away from a Chinese at 9.30 , (to late they said ) we came across this little place up some stairs and away from front , What a fantastic meal and service the 2 guys could not do enough for us and made us feel so welcome , will defo be going again soon .... Andy Watson

Arrived with the family ordered our meals they arrived the currys was really salted and louds of grease on the currys my son found a hair on his curry we couldn't eat our food because of it being salty and full of grease will not eat here again they got all the orders wrong and they brought some drinks out and other members of my party had to wait for there drinks

Not many people know about this place, but this is a great little curry house.

Worst indian restaurant you could ever think of going.... absolutely awful
