Akash Tandoori Restaurant in Copeland

Great service and what an amazing curry. This is now our “go to” local curry house. Akash is the best of the best.

Excellent food, very consistent. Staff are fab.

Very friendly reception on the ‘phone and in the restaurant. A good range of reasonably priced is food available, our Chicken Tikka Pasanda was delicious.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Akash. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was beautiful and the atmosphere was great! I will definitely be returning again.

amazing food. Service is always great and super friendly

Worst restaurant I have ever visited. Lot of options in menu but none of it is eatable. Also rude staff. NOT AT ALL RECOMENDED. Visited on 21st Sept

Delicious food at fair prices which makes a change

We had previously seen this restaurant recommended on Trip Advisor, so we booked there during our weekend break in Whitehaven. Excellent meal, good value and great service. We were then on the Friday night and it's very popular so we would recommend booking in advance to be sure to get a table.

A restaurant that caters favourably for call in orders. Waited 20 minutes after receiving our poppadoms to place our mains although walk ins and calls come through for orders. The lass behind the bar taking calls was rude and Under pressure all the time and clearly couldn't handle the pressure. Such a shame as previous visits have been fantastic

Few occasions mixup with order and had to go back down, apologetics for issues and corrected

I ordered king prawn on puri which came in shells. First time ever. Disappointed. Then I ordered chicken tikka pathia. Oh my God this tasted nothing like the chicken tikka pathia I had in various other Indian resteraunts. It was just hot and very tasteless. I paid up because I ate it as I was hungry. When I told the person that it was tasteless they said oh sorry. 🤮.

Great food - you will not be disappointed! Good veg options

Food was delicious but what set this experience above and beyond was the friendly and very helpful staff wrt allergies and preferences. Outstanding evening.

What fantastic food and service. We are on holiday and there were lots of Indian restaurants to choose from and so glad we went with this one. Starters and main courses were perfect, coming from the midlands where we have a lot of great restaurants our standards are high, but got to say this was as good as I have ever had. Do not be put off by the outdoor look which could do with an upgrade, the food is 5 star.

Friendly staff they could not do enough for you. The food arrived quickly and was extremely edible! Thank you so much for a pleasant experience 💯

The food here was top notch and the service great. It seemed many people were returning locals and some lone diners. Nice, low key, low stress atmosphere.

Excellent service. And gorgeous food

Excellent service. And gorgeous food

Visited after reading so many good reviews and was not disappointed. We were a group of five, one wheat intolerant, two strict vegans and two carnivores so when we ordered the waiter came back after five minutes and said that they add gravy to all the dishes which contains chicken stock so if we did not mind waiting the chef would make a vegan gravy for our Dahl, spinach potato, mushroom curry and vegetable madras and when it arrived it was very good. We were all impressed with the trouble they went to and would definitely highly recommend, great food and very friendly service thank you.

Was in the area for a walk in the lakes, highly recommend this place. Good service and amazing food. Would recommend the Lamb Rogan, was plenty of meat 👌

Definitely visiting again when next in the area, food was great with plenty of choice staff were welcoming and overall good value If you're in the area give it a try

We visited this Restraunt during our trip to Lake District. We had ordered few vegetarian items and a couple of meat items. Everything was at best average, the chicken was not cooked properly. However, we loved the vegetable biryani.

Staff were excellent and the pickle tray was extremely good. But the rest was just your average take away curry you would get from somewhere that does curry, burgers, pizza and kebab. It was extremely busy and packed, so seems very popular. I think booking is probably a must.

Gorgeous food with great service. Would highly recommend 👌

It was busy, which is always a good sign. The food was all excellent, as was the service. Very tasty dishes, would go again!

Absolutely gorgeous food. Would 100 %recommend. Everything was lovely. Don't normally write a review but just had to .

Nice, food, staff friendly, restaurant has no atmosphere.

Great find, lovely food and helpful staff.

Tonight is the first night that we have eaten in, we usually get a takeaway. The food was unreal, the staff were very friendly and attentive.

This is an eatery where the usual blend of light spiced dishes are on offer. Nothing like this gem in the entire northern region culture of curry culture restaurants. This is an extraordinary Indian restaurant

Lovely place, great food, brilliant service

Visiting the Lakes for a Long weekend staying in Whitehaven. We arrived about 4pm and saw a delivery being made so walked in and asked for a 6.30pm reservation. Many places would say they are closed but they took our booking. Luckily we did make the reservation as when we arrived it was almost full and we were welcomed like regular guests. The service was great despite how busy it was, the food delicious and portions generous. We did think slightly pricey, but considering the portion size not overly.

Food was really nice and good value for money. Little bit outdated but that doesn't affect how good the food was

I wish I can give 0 or negative ratings. The food was horrible. I ordered daal and it was smelling like some rotten meat. When told staff, he mentioned it is because of coriander! Which was definitely not the case!!! Never recommend it to anyone.

Really tasty food. Friendly service. Would visit again 👍

Good value Indian food with friendly service and reasonable prices. Well worth a visit and in a good area. . Recommend the sizzling mixed grill and be aware the servings are generous.

If your looking for a curry at best standards look no further. Our night has been unbeatable the staff are so friendly and easy going. Had a right laugh with them all. Right end to a night and to say the least we ordered everything on the menu.

Starter of onion bhaji was a little bland but the main of Tika masala was tasty and the service was good.

Absolutely fab baby!! Best curry ive had in ages, and i usually have my pick of the best in Leeds or Bradford! which are renouned as generally pretty good t say the least. Excellent service, reasonably priced, but the best bit is the food, its bloody lovely from the poppadoms and pickle tray, through the starters - i had a chicken tikka, to the mains - Chicken Jalfreizi, Pillau rice and a Peshwari Naan, beer pricess fine, and i was given a complimentary Peshwari naan to go with my " Doggy bag" as the portions where magnificent You wont be dissapointed!!

Great choice of food.Execptionally tasty & nice portion size.

Food is very tasty. The staff are really helpful,I will definitely recond

Best lamb rogan josh in West Cumbria FACT...P.S ALSO LAMB CURRY

Best curry I've had in ages. Really spicey and very good freshness. Would definitely recommend! Service was good too.

Food has always been consistently fantastic. Wish they delivered to Melbourne 😉

Delicious meal, very large portions. Friendly service.

Great value. You absolutely must have the pickle tray. My mate and I are doing the Wainwright's and this is our go to place to eat. Lovecit.

THE best butter chicken I have ever had! Lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!! A super find!

Had a takeaway from here food arrived nice and hot. Lamb dansak was very tasty. Chicken tikka masala was nice too. Saag aloo could have been better. Overall a good experience will order from here again.

It’s a great experience. Amazing food and service.

A place that is busy midweek can often be a good sign and this was no exception. Food excellent, service excellent, good selection of alcoholic drinks and soft drinks (including proper Coca-Cola in cans), and I will definitely be eating here again, food was delicious and a great range of different things to try, including some amazing looking Onion Bhaji's I didn't get to try this time. Cannot rate bathroom or toilet facilities as I didn't use them.

Visiting my brother in cumbria visited akash restaurant OMG we are from sheffield loads of indian restaurants but this place is another level 5* food 5*service wish it was in sheffield thank you mohammed

Lovely Indian came nice and fresh. Full of flavour

Really lovely! Clean, fresh and the food was excellent! The Malayan chicken was a BIG hit with my wife & small daughters! Thank you for an enjoyable meal.

Visited this curry house few days ago and really wanted to leave a review… Food was absolutely delicious, perfectly crispy Poppadoms and, certainly not the least, service was A rated! If I ever pass through this town by the lakes again I shall certainly be making a second trip! Highly recommended!

Went for a meal 1st of May food was really good staff where excellent 😋 👌

Good quality food and excellent service.

Nice food and excellent service. Dishes ordered -- Lamb Briyani, Chicken Briyani, Chicken Balti, Butter Naan

Easy location with carpark opposite. Place was nice and food was lovely however we waited over an hour for a starter and then the main followed. Manager was running about doing everything pretty much. More communication from the staff would have been nice and to be more snappy with service.

Tasty Indian food in Whitehaven.

The staff are lovely, the chef is epic. I had a king prawn puri and it came with shell on, should be shell off in a Puri. They remade it fresh for me and it was out of this world, then the lamb vindaloo and sag aloo side dish was sublime, hitting the right heat with a very intense flavour which is how it should be, not too fatty either which I really appreciate. I even got a bit of a sweat on and a little chilli trip🥰

This was one of the best Indian restaurant meals I have had in a long while. It started with really well cooked/presented popadums. The starters were really tasty and the main course were excellent.

Hadn't been here for year's. The food was excellent!

Top food, top service no complaints here. Manager was pleasant and very friendly, would highly recommend!

Top nosh and they deliver too !

Fantastic meal with my wife, staff were so friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced and the food we received was lovely.

Nice restaurant with friendly service. Best Indian food near Whitehaven.

Delicious tasty choice of food, hot and plenty of choice, staff helpful and friendly.

Food is always excellent here and good value. Timely service and give you time to select from the wide menu choice.

Lovely restaurant, wonderful food and service. Worth the 3.5 hours travelled to eat here. Will be back!

I had a lovely meal here shared with my brother during my visit in Cumbria.

9 of us were here for a work get together. We had poppadoms starters and mains. The food was lovely. The waiter we had was excellent he really looked after us. The place was heaving but we didn't wait to long between courses. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food. The only think that let it down for us all was the rude owner who took our payments. He was shouting at the waiters and waitresses. The way he spoke to us was very rude. I think he needs some training in customer service. Bring back chef

This is a brilliant restaurant, we went for an anniversary meal and the staff were really lovely, the food was the best Indian I've had in Whitehaven, so I would just like to thank the staff for making it a special night, they also surprised us with a lovely cake at the end, I can't praise them enough.

Good food and good decor. Very friendly staff. One of the best onion bhajis I've had 10/10

Extremely friendly service , generous host and delicious food . My family from Belgium really enjoyed the food )) Will definitely come again if I'm in the area .

Food was really good and quick service too. Didn’t find the staff particularly friendly or welcoming though but this didn’t spoil the meal.

One of the nicest lamb Madras I have had .the service Wes Spot on

Best Indian restaurant. Amazing food and brilliant staff.

Great lamb saag and lamb tikka Sri Lanka.

Friendly staff, good food and drinks, reasonably priced.

This is my favourite takeaway place to eat at love it

Food and services brilliant but toilet facilities are awful but

Fantastic meal. Really tasty and lots of it. Garlic and chilli masala with egg pilau and Bombay potatoes.

Staff were very helpful and the food was excellent would definitely go again

This restaurant is nothing to look at from the outside, we booked online luckily, as every chance we would have walk past but once inside very clean etc., staff friendly and helpful. Beautiful food, very generous helpings at reasonable prices

After driving 15 miles to pick up an Indian, the place was closed even though it clearly stated it was open! No explanation, don't waste your time

My wife and Son have just visited the Akash Tandoori Restaurant. And I would just like to say what a lovely meal we all had, the food we had was excellent and the service was first class. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much. Tony, Mandy & Connor.

Good family curry night with great service.

Had a tasty vegetable curry, friend had chicken dansak. With naan breads. Good portions. Pretty good value for money

Great value for money Staff are so attentive Food was divine

I'm from Manchester but when my work takes me into whitehaven I swear by this restaurant, first class service gorgeous food

Food is very good but service not good. I think they have to increase the staff in busy days, and have to give same service for all religious and colour. "When customer came immediately respond and service." These both missing.

Good meal, good drinks, lovely venue and well looked after throughout our evening! No complaints

Good to have an Asian place in that place. Food was good too.

Great food and good service at a busy time.

Good food, good atmosphere and good service

Had a great meal staff very good would recommend

1st class as always friendly helpful staff ,recently refurbished we have regularly evisit over the past 35 years can you say more.

We ordered food, after an hour wait when we called the lady said they are extremely busy, they have only one driver and it will take another hour to deliver the food. They said they cook fresh so they will soon start cooking. We politely requested to cancel the order, at this point the owner said it will be a huge favour to him to cancel the order. My friend then called later to ask for refund and the owner started shouting on her, said how could we ask for refund when they had to waste all that food, they are human beings and it was a huge waste. I am confused, first he said it was a favour, we had already waited for an hour and it was 2100 in the night and he could not promise to deliver food soon, so why was he shouting on phone. If money is not refunded he surely is going to get reported

Lively atmosphere, friendly staff the food its self tasted lovely we ordered chicken masala and achari chicken it was all on point the reason why i've given a 4 star rating the mixed cocktail grill was shockingly small portioned but the chicken and lamb was tender and nicely cooked and there was a abit much of a wait but i would still definitely recommend this place to all the halal eaters🙌

Food wonderful! Service 1st rate! Love going here.
