Akhtar's Restaurant in Calderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Brilliant food never had a bad curry from here

not up to usual standards , only a very small amount of curry in container about half what would normally be in. not much flavour either .

Perfect loved my starter fast delivery lovely and hot

Food was excellent and all really hot on arrival, nothing to complain about and will be ordering again in future

Absolutely beautiful 🤩 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What can I say, delicious food, arrived on time, piping hot & plenty of it. The Best.

Masala fish was so dry again order every week and for last 2 week been so disappointing won’t be ordering again

Food was beautiful as always! By far the best food place in Elland 😊 always early always hot and to a high standard

Very tasty fragrant food at good prices

this is the best curry house on just eat. Always cooked exactly how you want it, quality ingredients, really fresh, the chicken pieces are huge. Never have a bad meal off them ever. Hate it when they are closed as don't like going anywhere else. Keep up the great work guys 🤤😀

I ordered a takeaway for collection last Friday and unfortunately had awful food poisoning from it. I had ordered for collection at opening time so it went through as a pre-order- I wonder if they used old food as a result? Either way, it ruined my weekend and left me poorly and exhausted into the middle of the week. I contacted them to raise my concerns and request a refund but no response. I definitely won’t be using them again.

The food was delicious and plenty of it.

Owner seems a nice guy but the service is poor. The young girl with glasses is rude, no manners & doesn't listen to anything you say. Food was wrong, Food missing, Drinks didn't turn up & asked her for the bill she didn't acknowledge us & then had to ask someone else for the bill! Food was nice but not the best. Manager needs to find better staff.

Absolutely love this place always good quality and large portions and the chicken keema mix is the best anywhere

Very poor delivery we are starving

Absolutely outstanding! First time ordering here and they smashed it out of the park. A couple of our regular curry houses had gone downhill and we'd tried a few places trying to find a new gem - all were pretty average in all honesty. Akhtars was recommended to us by a friend who'd previously recommended our current favourite kebab house. Ordered a peshwari tikka - creamy but with a kick, just my style. My wife ordered desi lamb, rich and spicy. Great spice blend, tender meat. Keema rice was excellent, prawn puri was perfect and the garlic naan, although slightly burnt, we quite like that charred flavour so not a negative there either. The mushroom pakoras didn't travel well but you e got to expect that. They were very tasty and a decent size portion. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Just sad that we're now on our January diet because I'd order from here twice a week! Really pleased we've found a new regular. No idea how much it cost, but after tasting the food, I don't really care. Awesome food and it arrived 25 minutes earlier than expected. I don't give out 5* very often, but this place would've got a 7*. Needless to say, we'll be ordering again. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The food is always great. I just wish they would wrap their chapati’s in tin foil rather than putting them in a paper bag. By the time the got be they were hard and cold, every time. Will stop ordering them, which is a shame.

Amazing as always.We are truly addicted to Akhtar’s!

Best curry house ever. Never had anything that wasn't cooked to my specific liking as I like my currys mild and I am never disappointed. Really quality ingredients and cooked to perfection.cant rate them enough.

Excellent quality and absolutely DELISH flavour! Nan bread is top notch! Thanks guys!

Beautiful food .. just not filled to the top of the container

Bit disappointed not as good as usual, bhajis a bit hard and cold, food in general just warm. No where near the excellent standard I usually receive.

Fabulous curry - all well packaged and boxed. Thoroughly recommended.

Food was late but was kept aware that was the situation so ok with that.

Food was cold wrong items delivered. Food was old and not fresh, absolutely disgusting poor customer service and they did not seem bothered when we called up about our order, will not be ordering from there again

Good lovely but so cold mama bread was rock hard every thing needed warming up love the food just unhappy about waiting so long and getting cold food

First time ordering from here. The food was lovely. Will definitely be ordering again soon.

My absolute favourite,wouldn't go anywhere else.

Had another takeaway from here tonight and again absolutely gorgeous sat in last week and again absolutely gorgeous what we had want on here but everything I have has so fa's has been delishush

Great food red 🥵 and so tasty thank you 😊

Great food, great service 10/10

We really like it here. Enough to go twice in a week. The menu was quite different to the more generic stuff we see at home. Less greasy and much more tasty. Friendly staff, excellent menu choice for veggies. Don't be put of by the dark exterior making it look like they're closed... They probably aren't and much brighter one inside (we had walked past thinking it was closed but glad to be wrong).

Ate here yesterday for a birthday meal i pre booked 2 tables for 15 of us .. we got their and ordered straght away... starters took about 40 minutes to rock up and then another 45 minutes for our rice to rock up with no curry at the same time... was waiting for the curry about another 20 mintues whilst rice was going cold... waitresses are very young and didnt have much confidence talking to grown ups.. i wouldnt reccomend eating in only takeaway

Great curry and delicious starters and crispy bajis - highly recommended

Not been for about a year but what a difference. No atmosphere. When we've been before was always busy but was so quiet tonight. The food was just so average. We're from Sheffield and love Elland and was looking forward to eating here, but so disappointed tonight.... the young staff are very sweet, heard one of the managers talking to them in not a nice way... uncalled for.

Never fails to be quality food always good and tasty and red hot on delivery

As always, excellent service,top quality food,I wouldn't go anywhere else.

First and last time. Honestly one of the worst takeaways I’ve had in a long time, puri was soggy and inedible. The kids korma was meant to be mild, I wrote a note stating ‘please make extra mild my child doesn’t do spice’ yet it came and it was spicy? My child ate boiled rice for tea. Food was poor.

Chicken wings rubbish but everything else was spot on

Always fantastic food. Starters, mains and sundries are always top quality.

Food was piping hot and absolutely delicious The driver was polite and thanked us for the directions. We will def order from here again 10/10 Carol&Jon

Short on sauce in the rogan josh! A lot of chicken but not enough sauce

Wouldn't go anywhere else. 10/10

Great restaurant standard curry and well packaged and delivered in a box, rather than stuffed in a plastic bag. 5 stars

Amazing food, very tasty. Fast delivery

Fantastic flavoursome curries !

Always great food really enjoyed trying new dishes red hot on delivery and very fresh 👍🏼

Food was lovely,everything was hot when it arrived.Driver friendly, Will definitely be ordering again.

First time ordering and the food was fantastic, very tasty. Will definitely order again thanks

I really wanted to enjoy this. The masala fish was terrible and had zero flavour. I left most of it as it was a waste of time eating it. The garlic chilli chicken as basically brown water with really cheap tough chicken. Again, zero flavour and zero spice. I left most of it as it was not pleasant to eat at all. The most disappointing curry I have had in years.

First class food and service if a little on the expensive side. 9/10

Great food and always a friendly atmosphere.

Alway very early and food is superb

Lovely as ever nice and tasty plenty to go around 2/3 ppl 😀

First time order! Wonderful food, delivered hot and on time by friendly driver. Will definitely be ordering again 😋👍

Very tasty just how I like it plenty to go around will order again

The food (as always) was great. The problem was the time it took to wait and event after I called to check how delayed it was going to be it was still later, with no apology. Small tweaks and attention to customer service would make all the difference. Be honest with me, keep me in the loop and be more realistic with delivery times at busy people would make all the difference.

My food still isn't here it hasn't even left. We ordered at 5pm told would be here at 6.10 then between 6 35-6.55. Rang up still not left. Not happy, want a partial refund.

Weather was bad hence the delay, otherwise "good food".

Amazing as always... Think we are slightly addicted!

As always, excellent food delivered bang on time. Prawn on puree best I have ever tasted and Akhtar's make me my favourite even though it isn't on the menu.

Eaten food from Akhtar’s many times. Absolutely delish and fresh food food. Have never been disappointed.

Had dinner with my family on new years eve. First time eating in after using Akhtars for takeaways for a year and it's even better than the takeaway !!! Can bring your own booze (massive plus) Definitely coming back!!!

Butter chicken was too hot for the wife. Tikka masala was hotter then expected. After saying this all food was amazing and no ghee. Ordered a milder one for the wife and was bang on

Akhtar’s is our first to mind when we want a meal . Never been disappointed. Absolutely delicious.

Pleasantly surprised. I had to wait 40 mins but it was Saturday night & very busy. My meal was authentic, hot & fresh . I ordered masala fish & meat handi & both were delicious. I will ring to order next time but will deffinatly return. I enjoyed my meal.

Fabulous food as usual hot on delivery great service

Always good food tasty and fresh made

Well I have gone passed this place so many times so thought it was time to drop in and have some food. The place is very large inside and so many confused staff!! It must have been training day. Food was served prompt and actually very tasty. Got a great deal for a starter and a main for around £13. So the deal is its cash only and you need to bring your own beer and wine....I will return!!

Very disappointed eat curry all over me and misses went we ordered a pickle tray b4 we had finished that the starter was here, u sed OKs don't bring mail for at least 20 mins, when main came I had madras it was tasteless, awfull I couldn't eat it my misses had lamb with potatoes she only cud eat the potatoes what a disappointed won't be going again, staff was friendly just need a decent chef.

Brill thanks x will defo come again x

Nice food but poor delivery time and I only ordered one curry and the starter ☹

Good food good service really good price

Great food 👍🏻 Arrived hot and on time. The Bhuna was a bit spicier than expected, but luckily they had me covered by including some raita, which I used to cool it down. Thanks guys.

Came here after 2years. Under new management. Food under par. Service abit slow and left alone, no-one came to attend to us. Lamb chops like rubber. Chicken pakora really dry, no sauces with starters. Gone down hill. From 5 stars to 2 stars.

Really tasty curry, collection time was accurate and the staff are always smiling

Me and my fiancé just got a takeaway from here (first time) and we are SO HAPPY! We'd been struggling to find a decent Indian and this place is really delicious! The food tasted fresh and super flavourful, not at all greasy and decently priced. It's just round the corner from us as well which might be bad for our bank account...oops! The delivery guy was also lovely. Will definitely be ordering again! Thank you for everything, we're no longer hangry :)

Fabulous customer service and delicious food. Thank you. We will definitely recommend .

As always food was amazing piping by huge portions loved every bite thank you 🙏

Always lovely food from here 😋

really enjoy the curry here, can't fault anything, staff also good

Spent almost £50 on a takeaway which was delivered timely within 40 minutes. However, the chicken pakoras were extremely dry, onion bhajis were completely tasteless, both curries had plenty of meat however the sauce on both was like water. The nann bread was hard and crispy and the chips were greasy and tasted like they’d been cooked in old oil. The only enjoyable part of the meal was the poppadoms. Unfortunately all of the food ended up going in the bin.

The food was absolutely amazing. Very good looking delivery driver too. 👌

Starters are still really good, faultless, but recently the curries have taken a down turn, lamb on the bone was my go to, it was amazing, but now the lamb is poor, the sauce it comes in is a bland 'gravy', went with a friend ladt week and we used to take any leftovers home, we both left half a curry each, the waitress did a table check and i aired our grievances which i hope she passed on......lovely decor, lovely starters, great waitresses, but curries lose it 2 stars. So sorry guys.

The last time I ordered was when it was under the name of “Hanifs” the chicken masala was beautiful. This time it was nothing like the last time, I’m presuming this is due to change. Very disappointed i couldn’t even eat it. There was no masala but water and it looked like it had been solely cooked in Haldi. ( turmeric). Everything else was edible - Oh and would have preferred a receipt so I know how much I’ve paid for what .

Amazing curry. Would highly recommend the lamb lahori!

Nice friendly staff. Clean and tidy environment. Food was tasty. Quite expensive but the quality was good. I really enjoyed the masala fish. You can bring your own alcohol if you want. Hopefully they will be getting a card machine soon. The owner stated he was going to get one on Elland Banter. I like the option to pay by card. I appreciate there is a cash machine across the road but I personally prefer to pay by card, cleaner and safer than carrying cash around. Five stars if they get a machine installed 😉

Amazing food great delivery red hot on arrival generous portion loved every bite thank you 👍🏼

Local restaurant to me and it is always nice food. Good prices and always clean. 6 of us went yesterday evening and had a lovely meal. Thanks.

The meal was fantastic, the fresh coriander was amazing, we will definitely order food from here again!!!

Great food, nice surroundings, pleasant staff, reasonable prices. Our no.1 go to for curry.

Me and my partner come here often, this is the only place outside of Bradford that I enjoy. The food is usually very fresh & tasty. No card accepted, bring cash and your own alcohol.

Good food and very early will be ordering again

Very nice curry house 🍛 The food was lovely, finished a reet good night off Managed to take a doggy bag home and had it for breakfast the next day Proper Yorkshire style 😋😋👍🏻👍🏻

first time trying this place, curries were nice although a little watery! onion bhajis are very nice

Ordered a Tawa chicken and got sent something totally different, was definitely not a tawa chicken, food was not up to its normal standards. Maybe a chiefs off day however when dealing with food there should never be a off day

Reshot fresh and very tasty loved it highly recommend x

Excellent takeaway. Would recommend

Naan wasnt nice curry wasnt nice either wont order again

Lovely food, on time and hot. Would definitely recommend
