Had an amazing experience at Akbar's Restaurant! The Mix Grill was the star of the show — perfectly grilled, juicy, and bursting with authentic flavors. Every bite was a delight! Huge credit to the starter chef for nailing the seasoning and texture. The Chicken Tikka Garlic Balti was rich, aromatic, and packed with bold spices. If you love pure Asian food, this place is a must-visit!

I was disappointed to see that my food was served directly on a frying pan instead of in the proper dish, which negatively affected the presentation. Additionally, the meal was missing both the salad and sauce, which are typically included with this dish. These missing details, along with the poor presentation, not only impacted my overall dining experience but also left me feeling dissatisfied personally.

travelled all the way from Manchester to try this very hyped place and their cuisine. But it was below average experience. Order placement was very late (waited 45 minutes). Food was nearly cold. Portions were very small as compared to price. We also ordered charsi karahi but I suppose cook knows nothing about it. Overall pathetic. Highly not recommended.

I have dinner at Akbar's restaurant at the Middlesbrough with intentions to enjoy desi karahi, although they are using rather misusing famous Peshawar 'Charsi's name as branding 'Charsi karahi', but we were disappointed by the quality of food, they tried to cover the taste of food by putting too much spices, although we asked them to keep the spice medium, it was too much to bear, the manager was consistently claiming the spices are mild, I wonder what will be their hot/high spicy taste and who can eat that. Severely disappointed, will never go to any of Akbar's in future and won't recommend anyone, unless you can pay very high price for red and green chilies.

We have been here before and it was great! The service was ok they forgot a beer and we asked for the bill 3 times before it finally come. The food was OK potato was not cooked enough and chicken was overcooked. At the end of the meal we paid the bill and a waiter came back to the table and asked for a tip, which one of our party felt awkward and paid. Absolutely disgusting asking for a tip and he just put it in his pocket didn't say thank you or anything!

Been coming here for many years on a regular basis never go to any other Indian restaurant, I have found it has been going downhill for the last year however I have still returned a number of times, this time even the service was poor they forgot to bring our popadoms which resulted in getting them the same time as the food the dips tasted like they were off and not fresh at all we had poor service the last time we visited by the same man however mo is amazing. We get the same curries but we are finding the spice is getting unbearable. The toilets aren’t clean and haven’t changed or been updated since they opened years ago. It’s sad to see such a good place deteriorating with food quality and poor service and cleanliness this should be improved with the amount they increased the prices on the menu.

A party of 13 people we were looking forward to eat at Akbars Middlesbrough and enjoy family's evening out. Unfortunately the food was disgustingly spiced up with chilli powder and green chilies all we could taste was chillies, We ordered 8 different main course which all taste same chilli powder and were unedited, The starters was 4/10 which were not too bad. I'm sorry to say but you need to sort your chefs out That was most disgusting meal I ever tasted.

Waiter was a bit thick didn't give us enough time to order and then we ordered food stuff came separate. Fish masala was nice and so was the chips. Mango lassi was cheap yaadgaar brand didnt even put ice cubes in it. The keema I told the guy yes I want potato in it came with none and was so spicy as an Apna he should know how we eat it brought the fish masala with no naan to its the little details about helping the customer and suggesting good dishes. Chicken balti or korma we ordered 2 didn't look like my mates enjoyed it and also I threw up straight after and so did my friend outside. Not sure what was going on because the food seemed cooked but this is very unusual and we don't drink we only got mango lassi, water and Pepsi. Overall it was not worth the price nearly £100 and the website says £10-20 each person okay even £60 would be okay next time will only order starters and maybe next time get someone better who can speak to customers properly and put stuff in the right place. Honestly, disappointed I'd only recommend the Bradford one, Middlesbrough is a no go.
