Akbar's in Bradford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went here after visiting Manchester, no comparison, full of gypsies very loud and felt rushed, my lamb shank was georgous but husbands biryani was average at best, no Alcohol!!, service was excellent though, am afraid would not go back

Absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. We were served ny Faizaan and couldn't fault his efforts. 10/10 and very family friendly.

Food was delicious and more importantly the service was outsanding. We were served by Faizaan and provided us with everything we wanted and constantly asked us if we needed anything. Very polite guy Mashallah

Visited the restaurant today. Food was very delicious. Most important staff was very amazing. Especial thanks Ali and manager sammy. Thanks you to all of your support.

Amazing service from Ali and his manager Sammy looking after us.

Bought a take out 2 meat masala’ and the portions were small looked like they split 1 portion into 2 containers and I bought 3 naans , very disappointed, never gonna go there again . Also food is over priced.

We were a family of 6 and very good service.Our waiter Jamshaid was very helpful and kind. The food was really good but it was a bit expensive. The restaurant is very big and full with people . Do recommend this restaurant.

Ali and manager sammy were fantastic

Everything was perfect and service was great Jimmy was very nice and fast

Jimmy had the best service. He was great with customer service and the employees was quick with food to. Thank you

Our monthly visit with friends was a little different this month with a wedding also happening on the same evening. Despite it been incredibly busy our server Mumtaz gave great service making sure we had everything we needed. We ordered three starters between four of use; onion and potato bhaji, chicken sizzler, chicken pakora for main I order chicken tikka masala with a peshwari nan. I recommend all the above dishes very highly.

Great customer service from Mo this evening.

Best customer service by Ali. He was very accommodating and made sure I was well looked after. Sami was the best manager. Amazing staff and good with customers.

Ali was the waiter…. incredible service. sammy was the manger and was very nice.

Fantastic service by Hamza and a lovely atmosphere. Food was delicious.

Not really sure where to begin. Saturday evening meal out for 5 people. Arrived at 6. Seated straight away. It was quiet. We’ve been coming here for years so ordered without even looking at the menu. Starters are normally amazing. Not this time. The marinade was so bland and flavourless and felt like it was a thick floury dough on the prawn tikka and lamb chops (which are normally my fave thing to eat here). The seekh kebab were more food colouring and ‘filler’ than meat. Just poor. The waiters must have known how bad the starters were because they started clearing them away along with the plates that we were literally still eating off, and started placing dinner plates on our table ready for the next course which was now imminent even though we still the starters in our mouths. Clearly they were in a hurry to get the table back. The mains were meant to be ‘desi style’ but they weren’t really. They were nice enough but not the usual standard. We ordered keema with peas and charsi chicken. The family naan had been butchered into pieces (we asked for it to be cut up and served in a plate rather those god awful trees) with what could only have been a chainsaw and was more like cracker bread than soft fluffy naan. Disappointing. The staff were good and kept checking in on us to see if everything was ok. My kids refused to let me speak up so I held my tongue and smiled politely and said everything was fine. Then the bill came. £91!!!!!! I nearly fell off my chair. £3.30 each for canned soft drinks, the curries were £14.90 and the family naan was £7!!!!!! We’ve never spent more than £50 in Akbars for the five of us so this was ridiculous. I was speechless. I wouldn’t mind if the food was out of this world… well it was, but not in a good way. We had been served two courses and had the bill presented even though we hadn’t yet asked for it all within a tidy time of 45 minutes. This must have been a record. We’ve felt ‘rushed’ many times before but this was exceptional. The couple of times we’ve been previous to tonight the waiters left a pickle tray on our table that we never ordered and assumed was a complimentary addition to the starter dishes (as it always used to be) only to find a cheeky £2.50 charge on the bill for something we never asked for! After 30 years of coming here this is definitely the last time. The food used to be second to none here and I refused to eat Pakistani food anywhere else. Not any more. Standards have really dropped I just can’t understand all the recent 5* reviews.

Service was poor , my kids ate first food was delayed , charged for food I dident get , overall poor service , used to be good Other people came after me had all their food before me
