Akbar's Kitchen in South Somerset

What a nice place! 🥰 The coffee was great and the cake was absolutely delicious. And the goats are fun. An absolute recommendation!

I can’t say our experience here was terrible, but it was far from exceptional or outstanding. Which, for the price and following other 5* reviews was really disappointing. The menu was uninspiring, and the dishes were tiny - we went home hungry! I think you need to advise people when booking that it is a chef tasting menu only, at £69 per person we probably wouldn’t have booked. Also awful wine, maybe a bad choice but it was recommended by staff, I couldn’t drink it. Sorry, lovely setting and staff but I would not recommend anyone here. Some of the local pubs offer better quality food than we tasted here. I can’t help question whether other reviews are even real, I have eaten in some exceptional, memorable restaurants - but this falls far from hitting that mark.

We were just having a flying visit today through Ilminster whilst traveling back home after a weekend break. What a lovely find this little place was. I loved the fact this is run by people with learning difficulties who were so pleased to serve us and were bright and cheerful. we only wanted a hot drink which I must say was the nicest cup of tea, served with a homemade shortbread biscuit on the side. I come away loaded with little homemade gifts and cards that had been made by a team working away at the back. What a great place, these lovely people are learning and being very pro-active with the public. I would defiantly pop in again if passing that way, but this time making sure I had time to have lunch as well. Keep it up, your doing a brilliant job !

Wow first time I ordered tonight and food was amazing and amazingly presented!!

This little place does the most amazing food, wow. I had the breakfast and it was awesome, all local farm produce. What a find.
