Akbar's in Rotherham

Very nice staff are very good at there jobs

Absolutely fantastic service! Great ambience! Very good attention to detail when serving us. I loved the food, the portions and even the food temperature was spot on.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience! The lamb chops and starters were incredible, and the main dishes — chicken and keema karahi with tava roti — were delicious. The desserts were impeccable. The highlight was the outstanding service from our waiter, Hassan, who truly went above and beyond. Will definitely be coming back!

Amazing meal - we ordered lots of starters all of which were delicious- highly recommend the lamb chops and chicken nambali which was delicious too! Hasan served us who was absolutely lovely and so professional- the food was served hot and with a smile. Highly impressed ❤️

I recently dined at Akbars and had a wonderful experience. I tried the Chicken Nimbali and Chapel Kebab, both of which were absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, with the meats cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and full of authentic taste. Special mention goes to our waiter, Hasan, who provided excellent service throughout our visit. He was attentive, polite, and made sure we were comfortable and satisfied with everything. His friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the evening. The atmosphere at Akbars was warm and welcoming, and the overall cleanliness and presentation of the restaurant were impressive. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

The food is excellent and the service was good. But it was a bit too loud and the pieces were a bit high.

his Pakistani restaurant, located between Rotherham and Sheffield—practically in the middle of nowhere—was surprisingly busy right after opening, which immediately gave the place a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent, with generous flavors and authentic touches. The staff were very accommodating; for example, when the dishes we ordered for the children turned out to be too spicy, they kindly replaced them with milder versions without any hesitation. I personally tried the traditional Paya, which was a unique experience. Although it didn’t have a large amount of meat, the dish was flavorful and quite different from what I’m used to, so I appreciated the opportunity to try something new and authentic. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for larger groups, as the setting is not very intimate but rather casual and vibrant. One standout highlight was their really large naans, which were delicious and perfect to share. Overall, a great place to enjoy authentic Pakistani cuisine with friendly service in a lively environment

14 years i have been coming to this place, never dissapointed. Fantastic service, even better food. We travel over 1 hour to come here. 100/10 always

Came here after a long while whilst I was passing. What can I say it was awesome. Lovely food, courteous service and love ambiance. Was a favourite and definitely hasn’t changed

Good atmosphere and ambiance Good tasty food with well presentation and service was excellent

brilliant service by raja great customer service

went for dinner here yesterday. not possible to make reservations just at the entrance tell with how many people you are, and they seat you after a wait. restaurant interior designing is a bit dark according to my liking. but the food is absolutely tasty. it was delicious, good size of the portions! taste really good and authentic. well come again.

Husnain was really friendly , great service and a great atmosphere and service to be a part of

Five stars all around for the food and for our server Husnain, his service made sure that ourn1st time there wouldn’t be our last

Hussnain was our waiter, very nice guy, excellent service, amazing food

Husnain was amazing, food was great would recommend

Been going to both Bradford and Rotherham sites for 25 years, always the best curries. Rabby and his staff are fantastic

Great experience. Served by Zee. Very friendly and respectable place to eat.

Amazing place and food we always come back!

Went on 02/05/25.First time been there.Went with family and it was great.Food excellent and service superb.

Very good place. Food amazing staff nice guys..

Bilal provided exemplary assistance. He is a credit to Akbar's and they would benefit by promoting him for his work.

Rabby and ibrahim, was very accommodating, very helpful and throughly nice people. I give my visit 5 stars based on my experience and quality good food. Always a pleasure, thanks akbars.

Had a lovely time in this restaurant, the food was 10/10 would defintley go back. Our waiter Hussnain was very professional and helpful as one of us required gluten free options and he helped with the menu. The food was accurately gluten free, the king prawn special did not affect my gluten intolerant stomach. Thank you

I’ve been visiting this place for over 20 years. Highly recommend. Try the chicken nambali starter

The good first, the food was amazing, had the chicken chilli, it was cooked perfectly. Service was excellent, very polite and friendly. The bad, the place is just too dark, I had trouble reading the menu and seeing my food. Not much room on the tables, plate of rice, curry bowl, plate to place it all, some bottles weren’t taken away while ordering more drinks. Just too messy. You need to be clearing pots more often from tables and cleaning between starters, mains and desserts.

Akbars Rotherham: Rich, mouthwatering curries, spices dance! Exemplary service, staff attentive and warm. A culinary delight, worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Absolute Garbage would never go back ,

Awful service. Forgot rice that we ordered. Struggled to gain waiters' attention many times. Was so busy and loud children were unsettled. Asked for a highchair as one was not provided. It did not come, so my husband found one himself. The food was good, but ruined by the above.

Amazing food amazing service by Zeeshan. Definitely will come back again

Amazing food. Service is great. Zee was attentive and made sure all our needs are cared for. Will come back soon!

Incredible, expressive food, friendly service and fair prices. I ate butter chicken and samosa chaat. An explosion of flavors. A strong recommendation on the culinary map.

We visited this restaurant on the 17-02-25 for my partners birthday . We had a superb meal made even more enjoyable by the waiter Hashim, he made our night. He asked if we had visited before ( which we had) if we had a go to choice and what it was . He gave us other choices that he thought we might like (which we did ) he was brilliant all evening attentive polite entertaining , all in all a wonderful asset to your business. So much so we asked which nights he worked so we can pick which night to revisit and hopefully get this wonderful person to wait on us again.

Husnain was our waiter, and he was very attentive and talkative. Will definitely be coming back because of him and all the staff

Akbar’s is a fantastic place for a delicious and authentic meal. The food is always fresh and full of rich flavors, with a great variety of dishes to choose from. The curries are well-spiced, the naan is soft and warm, and the chicken nambali is a standout. Portions are generous, and everything is well presented. The staff are friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Indian cuisine!
