Akshaya in Liverpool

Hopeless food ingredients were not fresh.we orderted chicked chiily and Biryani chicken was not even chewable very hard and rubbery. And mst important staff is not bothered about it.

Striking restaurant inside and out, and the food was fabulous. Mutton rolls and the lamb curry both were delicious and the spicing reminded us of being back in India. Chicken tikka starter was generous with good flavour and nicely cooked, prawn moilee didn’t have many prawns but nice flavours. Naan was a little thin and crispy to our taste. Great range of beers too.

Organizamos la celebración del 50 cumpleaños y fue atendido por Harsha que era increíble, paciente que organizó una devolución de un plato con su gerente que muestran gracia y paciencia. Askhaya seguirá volviendo las señoras les encantó la comida y el hermoso entorno. Otra vez grande para HARSHA. 🤩

Greeshna es genial! Ella era un anfitrión tan fabuloso y realmente recomendó los platos para nosotros. No puedo recomendar este lugar. ¡Enougj! Comida fabulosa. , gran entorno, gran servicio. ¡Fabuloso! X

Estábamos pidiendo comida del extranjero como regalo sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi tío que es anciano y un patrón de larga data de Akshaya, un cirujano retirado en Birkenhead. Estábamos muy decepcionados de que no pudieron obtener los detalles de nuestra tarjeta de crédito a pesar de que hemos organizado la recogida por mi primo que vive en Liverpool. Absolutamente asombroso especialmente en este mundo tecnológico avanzado. Acabo de pedir flores con mi tarjeta de crédito para ser entregado en Inglaterra. Tuvimos muchas visitas memorables en Akshaya, incluso el mes pasado. Estamos muy decepcionados.

Ooh la la! No not French but deliciously Indian! What a feast… poppadoms served with a beetroot relish and mango chutney, cocktail samosas and gorgeous onion bhajis began the feast. This was followed up with Chicken Chettinadu, lamb rogan Josh, coconut rice and garlic and chilli naan. Absolutely delicious 😋 The level of spice was perfect, best meal outside of India itself. And if that wasn’t enough, we were then tempted by beetroot halva - probably not a choice I would have made but wow, absolutely mouth wateringly delicious 😋 And not too sweet either as often Indian deserts can be.

Excellent service friendly staff beautiful surroundings went there for my fiancé birthday with family food is gorgeous recommend this restaurant it’s lovely

was initially reluctant due to location however it was beautiful and cannot wait to come back! staff were attentive and the place was spotless overall, the food was outstanding! piping hot - we then went into the bar for cocktails and the barman, after chatting to him and learning he had 6 years experience, forgotten his name sorry possibly simbu? anyway he was fabulous! whipping me up recommended cocktails and pours a perfect pint in spotless glasses, best indian around bar none! recently tried a new one and wasn't impressed, wouldn't waste time going anywhere else again

Food was amazing and the restaurant is lovely inside. We got chaat bombs, tikka paneer, butter chicken and chicken korma and all of it was lovely. Not cheap but not really expensive either. Already looking forward to going back

I went to Akshaya for lunch with my friends. The staff were really friendly, the food was incredible and I loved the aesthetic. We got served by Diya who was really friendly and made the best recommendations. We had an amazing time, will definitely be back. 10/10

Lovely food, friendly staff- especially subin on bar. It was our friends birthday and we got free shots. The food was delicious

We used to visit this restraunt on a regular basis when it was next door and much smaller. We were always welcomed by Tommy and the team, we only stopped going as we moved to Warrington. We visited the new venue on Saturday gone, Wow, we were blown away by what Tommy and his partners have achieved, amazing decor, food and service. We are looking forward to our revisit with friends for a birthday the 1st weekend of March...carry on the great work..Karen and Geoff

I originally booked a table 1 month prior to the date of the booking, I even emailed to confirm this had gone through on google plus they called me on the day to confirm. When we arrived we were placed on two separate booths with the backs to each other as a table of 9. So it was like two completely different tables and you couldn’t talk to each other- what’s the point in that? We asked to move and they put us in another room that seemed to be where the kids where put to sleep almost. We decided to go back to the original seating and when a table become available infront of us we asked to move, they said no it’s booked. It turned 9pm and still no table showed up, but a couple sat with just drinks on a table for 9 after us being denied the table. We waited over an hour to receive our mains. The room started to get freezing cold, and it’s so sad not being sat in the main restaurant that is advertised. Just sat by a window to look at the sights that come from sheil road. The service was slow. The food come gone 9, it was lukewarm. It wasn’t nice at all. Even when you’re hungry it just isn’t nice at all. The lamb was full of fat & grizzle, a third was edible. Rice was alright. Naan burnt and dry didn’t seem fresh. The food was so tasteless. Our tables food was not enjoyable at all. But the other table enjoyed theirs. It was an expensive waste of time and if you want to go to a great Indian I’d advise gate of India on south road. Never be returning and will spread the word not to come here. After being denied to move to free tables three times to sit with the people we booked the table for it felt tiring and pointless to even complain about the food nobody checked back on. We got offered to have the bill whilst the other table of ours was still eating. I did tell the waiter the food was cold but he smiled nodded and walked off. It just couldn’t be any worse for a first time visiting somewhere AVOID don’t be fooled by the pics

Tonight reem was our server and she was on the ball. She served us from starters to dessert and recommended us amazing dishes tonight. Great place if your looking for delicious Turkish food and service.

While doing some work as a handyman in an apartment with two Indian ladies, one made dinner and offered me some. It was delicious! And reminded me I've not been to an Indian restaurant for a few years. I pass Akshaya frequently and posted on social media... has anyone eaten there? All responses were positive. So decided to go. The food was delicious, the staff are absolutely lovely. And the restaurant and bar at the rear, are really nice! And... it only cost me £41 for starters, main meal (Lamb Madras) with sides: rice and naan, desert, and 2 large red wines. I then went into the bar for another glass of red and to let my meal settle for a bit. All in all, it was a perfect evening!

Clean ,staff attentive, food lovely ,not rushed reasonably priced drinks also reasonable Off street parking would definitely return

Food was amazing as was the service. Staff were so attentive and such a lovely environment. Second visit and will definitely return.

The best curry I’ve ever had. I’ve had a few. Me- dad from Sri Lanka. I eat a lot of Indian food. This is the real deal. If you want authentic food that tastes great and is beautifully presented by polite charming staff, dishes you don’t see elsewhere then come here. If you want made up pseudo Indian slop then just get a regular Indian’. Which beat’s absolutely no relationship to any thing Indian. ( But really - don’t). If that is your usual curry then the chances are that you won’t recognise much! Tips. Samosa chat ( different). Mutton rolls. Gobi 65. Butter chicken. The Kulumbu lamb Forget Nan (which is good). But try paratha. Dosa- totally authentic, spectacular and enormous. All in a beautiful setting on a road you’d not associate with such a great restaurant. And they have parking. Proof is that, unlike just about any ‘Indian’ about half the customers will be Indian / Sri Lankan.

4th time here in this restaurant absolutely gorgeous. Decor fab and staff impeccably dressed . Food is stunning and I have been to many many restaurants and would have to say this is by far the best. You feel looked after as soon as you walk in the door. I feel for freshness and authenticity the value for money is really good. I love this place wish I could eat here every week, wow

The first time we went it was exceptional, but this time it was just OK, and will probably not return

I was blown away with such a luxurious place with great ambiance. Waiters were amazing, friendly, attentive, can't fault them. The food was aromatic and really tasty. Loved the decor and the whole experience. Will be back

Got a takeout - the food here is seriously delicious, I had the mixed biryani and mutton rolls, uou absolutely have to try the food here

We were a family group of 7 and included two vegetarians. The menu choice was excellent for us all and food delivered incredible Best choice of beers I’ve found in a restaurant Special mention for the staff. Service was superb and they couldn’t do enough for us Definitely visit again

This is my favourite place ever! The food in amazing and the staff are fab! Mohammed always has a nice chat with us and I love him! He’s such a good guy and having good staff and fast service; makes it such a nice trip every single time! I never go anywhere else!

The banter alone was worth a 4/5! The Wednesday night manager was very attentive and was apologetic that he didn’t have traditional Turkish bread on offer🤣

Nice food, however the portion size is very small and expensive, ordered lamb chop starter, the 3 lamb cutlets were extremely small and cut thin that said they did taste nice. Next ordered a curry and rice, once again tiny portion of curry, not enough to cover the rice

The biryani i had gave me tummy issues the next day. The worst part is paying £10 for a veg biryani that hardly had 2 handful of rice, (literally could count the veggies as there were hardly any) 4-5 huge potatoes that filled the container, 2 carrots, 2 corn pieces and thats it! Such a rip off!

My best experience of Indian food in Liverpool, with each dish individually spiced to perfection. The decor, cleanliness and service are exemplary and though others may have uttered a negative opinion about the area of Liverpool that the restaurant is in, that just makes this a little jewel. Following an initial visit, I have taken others who have all felt very positively about their food and the service on offer.

Akshaya - The Picture Drome has got a beautiful decor and interior with very friendly service. The staff are very helpful. The food is good. Tandoori Paneer tikka for starter was good, the Chilli gobi and Chicken 65 were very good.

Fabulous interior, very smart and clean. We asked for food recommendations and Riya and Tommy were very warm and friendly. We had a fish dish and a lamb dish and neither disappointed along with a fabulous Peshwari naan It was our first visit and we can’t wait to come back

To be honest a little bit strange. The restaurant is nice inside but in an area that isn’t great. The staff were all very serious and the service was a bit formal and stiff. This was not in keeping with the surroundings and city of Liverpool in our opinion. I’ve been to over 300 Indians in the UK and this is the most bizarre. Nothing bad at all. The food was actually nice. The chicken 65 was good and so were the sheeks. Should have had more salad and sauce but nice. The curries tasted nice but a bit thin the sauces. The lamb was ok. In my opinion could be great if they chilled out a bit and added some touches.

Just a family dinner went well we ordered mutton biryani, lamb shanks, butter naan, Gobi 65, chicken 65, chicken fired rice finally finished with Panipuri all are good but not happy with mutton biryani the taste was not excepted... Services was really excellent.

Just enjoyed a fantastic evening in a beautiful restaurant with delicious South Indian food, with friendly staff. We will definitely be back!

Was blown away by this restaurant. From walking into it’s beautiful decor being greeted by friendly staff and served excellent food we couldn’t fault anything. Will definitely return. Trying Sri Lankan food was a joy soo much flavour and subtle heat in the dishes we...

Spent a mid week birthday celebration here - really unique restaurant in the middle of em run down Kensington. Looks nothing outside - a former Wetherspoons but when you go inside it’s a total transformation. Very ‘instagramable’ decor and very spacious. We sat in a...

Absolutely first class service and divine food also adding poppadoms to the menu made my night. Thank you all and our compliments to the chef 👩‍🍳

Went on a Saturday night and although busy service was great. We were a party of 6 and all dishes arrived together. Everyone commented on the quality of the food. Surroundings are brilliant. The bar at the back is excellent. Will go again.

Just been to this restaurant because we’d heard great reviews. Didn’t book but it was mid week and wasn’t overly busy. Seated and ordered very quickly and food came super fast. Nice atmosphere. Lots of larger groups in the restaurant, which seemed to be looked...

Our first time here and we think it will be our new favourite place to eat. The service was efficient, professional and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious and the price, fair. Highly recommended

Main course took about 50min to arrive, quality of food was not bad, staff were good. Reason for delay was explained as system failure and its been going on for 6 months, don't know if that's a valid reason for the delay I mean who...

I was here the second time due to food. But the second time service was absolutely a joke. First, they ask me why you didn't book a table online I said called you guys but no one answered the phone. OK, they give us a...

Couldn’t recommend it enough, food and service both amazing! Our waiter Rahat (sorry if I’ve spelt it wrong) was so nice and professional.

Excellent in every way. Authentic South Indian food in an impressive / huge restaurant in the most improbable setting of Prescot Road / Kensington in Liverpool. We’ve been back two weeks on the trot to have fantastic masala dosa. Thank you!

We traveled from Chester to try Akshaya (on a recommendation) and weren't disappointed. Our waitress, Aiswarya, couldn't have been more helpful. There was plenty of vegetarian choice and everything was delicious. Starters: poppadoms with a sweet & spicy chutney (which, unfortunately, they wouldn't give us...

went there last Sunday at six. First visit but definitely not our last. Food was so fresh and full of flavour, everything was perfect. The staff were so attentive and helpful. booking again for next week. Can't believe this is on our doorstep. Excellent.

I was at the restaurant with some friends and the food was very delicious. Mouthwatering dishes cooked /Baked ( No oil very healthy ) Highly recommended for food lovers

The food is delicious. However, on phoning to book a table, the guy I spoke to sounded depressed and uninterested, hardly replying to me. Waiting staff very nice but seated up high, felt like a fast food restaurant atmosphere. Chef could not do a vegetarian...

WoW.... Why have we not been here before.... Excellent Service Excellent Product Extremely Well Cooked and Displayed.... 5* Highly Recommended

2nd Time we've been to Akshaya. WOW. It's a flavour sensation. Masala dosa. Poppadoms. Chicken biryani. Mutton chettinandu. Keema rice. Peshwari naan. Pint cider. Pint Amstel. All for £48.15. Plenty of friendly staff. They must of spent millions on the interior. Them pictures don't do...

Quality food , absolutely beautiful curries, sides & deserts.. Nothing was too much trouble,,Staff were excellent.. 5⭐️

I have been in here back when it was a Wetherspoons, I live a few minutes away and only realised it had changed a few months ago. We decided to go in and give it a try. When we walked through the front door I...

Over this long weekend(queen's jubilee), I had gone on a 3 day trip to Liverpool with my family and friends. Before the trip, we had decided on the restaurants we would eat out. The first day the restaurant we went to was awful and the...

I was recommended to try Akshaya and its looks a great place with very nice ambiance but sadly the food didn't live up to the decor Our starters were warm not hot and the mutton rolls didn't have much flavour or taste the chicken tikka...

Travelled 7 miles for a takeaway,which cost us just on £40.To say we were disappointed is an understatement. One of our starters was an onion bhaji.What we got looked like 2 mushy flat rissoles,no salad ,no dip or lemon.The 2 mains were even worse.Whoever has...

This restaurant is a fantastic venue. A lot of money has clearly been invested on making this restaurant/bar lounge/function room facilities. We had no difficulty parking as this venue has a car park at the rear. The decor inside is beautiful and inviting. Fantastic first...

Nice interior and decent food. Car park to side of restaurant. Parrata was great and starters were nice mix.

Quick friendly service. Delicious food. Beautifully decorated. Will come back. At the time of booking I asked if they can ask chef to prepare peshwari with no dried fruit. I was told I could ask on the day. Unfortunately the chef wasn’t prepared to make...

I had been wanting to try Akshaya for a while, the decor is fantastic and luxurious. Alot of choice on the menu and many vegetarian options which suited one of my friends For starter I had chilli chicken (big enough for a main), my friend...

Visited here with my Daughter and Granddaughter, 5PM on a Saturday evening, Really impressed the decor is stunning, great atmosphere, we ordered starters and mains the lamb bhuna was delicious, pilau rice was light and fluffy, all in all was great and vfm. Would definitely...

I went with my parents and my in-laws. We were greeted by the manager at the door and taken to an area which felt like private dining. The food was delicious. The lamb karahai and the chilli paneer and chilli chicken were the best dishes....

Food order for seven people. All had there starters and meals in different time. Like other waiting and watching while some of them eating. Kids meal received very last such a disappointment. Curry ordered with meals came with starters and left there for half an...

Excellent and beautifull place, good service. Delicous and not pricy food. The best Sri Lankan / Indian restaurant in Liverpool.

It's at least as excellent as ever. Particular standouts: murgh haryali tikka gently flavoursome, exceptional lamb chops, mild but tasty fish moilee, butter chicken with a tang of ginger, tender lamb shank, exemplary dhal makhani. The restaurant deserves to be better known - it's too...

The food was appalling warm and tasteless, we waited ages for our starter to arrive to find my broccoli was almost raw with a strange sauce topping which was suppose to be a tandoori sauce but it was something which tasted very strange and my...

Our family Visited Akshaya last night for the first time and were amazed. The rear car park is ample and brightly lit. The premises comprises of 3 bars and a large spacious beautifully decorated restaurant area. As long term lovers of Asian cuisine we found...

Excellent atmosphere and freshly made South Indian food. Sambar vadai especially my favourite and it’s very nice. All the food 🥘 is nice.

Truly delicious food and lovely restaurant with fabulous lighting. Shame I don't live local as I would be frequenting this gem of a place rather often. Not overpriced and large portions so be pepared to take some home.

Stunning restaurant, beautiful inside, and the food was absolutely amazing.. Lamb chops starter were devine, perfectly cooked and juicy, very hard to pull off.. Food tastes like its been made with skill, and home cooked love and care.. Service was excellent and the ambiance...honestly one...

First visit here and we will definitely be back. Delicious 😋 Staff lovely food excellent. Hidden Jem well worth a visit .We order the mixed plate for 2 .We bought a doggy bag home.

Picture drome perfect with extension of menu of the south indian and Sri Lankan cuisine to include North Indian. Zara a knowledgeable waitress recommended attu kulambu a fiery Sri Lankan dish. The cocktail menu was limited and definitely no pornstar martini. Overall service was very...

Food was delicious! Staff were friendly and the service was great- Reluctant to write a review as do not want people to find this gem of a place! Outstanding! I will definitely be visiting again…

The food and the ambience were so excellent and we all enjoyed a lot…definitely recommend for parties ,hangout 👍👍…And the service were very welcoming….Thankyou for the excellent crew behind the scene.❤️👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

For the first time in 2years, thanks to lockdown, 6 of us visited this restaurant who have recently moved next door int new premises. Telephone booking was easy. There was ample newly laid car park spaces and security guards overlooking. As we entered the interior...

Went specially for dosa which are not Gluten Free. Shame that semolina is added to the batter as per the chef. Decent idli and vada. Chicken 65 OK but wife felt it was undercooked. No chaat available on the day. Will not be visiting again.

Food and staff were excellent. You have done a great job with the old picturedrome. We will be back. Thank you

Went here after the recent renovations and the move to their premises next door and we were shocked at how different it looks. Lots of new dishes and the food tastes amazing. have already been twice. Will definitely go again.

We been to akshaya on the new opening day we are very excited about food we ordered kothu parota with gravy, chicken lollipop, gobi manchurian, finally lamb biryani , but biryani is not at all good really disappointed with biryani but service were good.

We tried to book a table and mentioned that we have a guide dog. We were told that they do not allow dogs. We repeatedly mentioned that it was a guide dog and it is against the law to not allow guide dogs, and they...

Well we returned to Akshaya to see if we were wrong as it does have good reviews and we were just coming out of lock down on our last visit not that this should be an excuse for them And yes what a difference a...

Been here many times over the years but have to say I won’t be returning. The food quality is very variable. Iv had some good meals, and some that I would not feed to my dog ! Staff are friendly but staff turnover is high...

Went here last night whilst visiting my son First night out since lock down Staff were pleasant and attentive but they were quiet ...decor of the premises could do with a freshen up but was ok ... Food was average nothing to shout about the...

Located right on the street, there are about 10 parking spaces behind the restaurant, which is convenient. The ambiance is good but the eating area is not massive. The menu offered a good spread of South Indian cuisine and we were not disappointed at all....

Light lunch of a couple of starters and Dosa, we were served by Alfred who was absolutely charming the food was great and we will definitely go back. Great Value.

Visited restaurant. First sign that all not good was food stains on the walls. But had been recommended by friends so decided to stay. Waited 10 minutes before drink order taken. Food mediocre for price. Overall the place is in need of a good clean...

Last week I ordered food in akshaya lamb biryani... the taste was not at all good.. didn't put enough gravy to that biryani.. need improvement..

Dont know why people have negative feedbacks. I have been visiting this place since 1 year now and everytime I go I am greeted with a very warm welcome. the food is just delicious and everything is so just freshly made, and you can say...

Stopped in based on some good reviews only to be disappointed. Starters were ok, colder than you would expect for freshly prepared food. As for the mains, lacking in flavour and interest as well as not necessarily being cooked in the way you might expect...

As a South Indian myself I know how this food should taste like. If you want authentic food, don’t waste your money here. It’s absolutely overpriced to begin with. Customer service is so bad that I won’t bother coming back. For a takeaway I wouldn’t...

I have eaten here many times and I've never reviewed so I absolutely need to review this fantastic authentic South Indian restaurant the Chili Gobi (fried cauliflower) is a must and masala Dosa is outstanding I've eaten these many times whilst visiting India and these...

That’s it really. The food was good (devilled fish was excellent, squid curry too...) but the service was awful. Dishes came out slowly, and not as complete meals. When the next table started getting their meals before we had our rice the waiter told us...

The worst Indian takeaway you will ever have. They call it cusine.. had the throw the lot away. Cheap and nasty use of frozen packet vegetables. Dont waste your money or time.

He querido probar este lugar por años. Fui con mi papá. .

Anoche conseguimos la comida auténtica más asombrosamente deliciosa de aquí. Hemos comido varias veces y esta comida para llevar también fue increíble: tuve el mejor curry de berenjena que he comido en mi vida; fue profundo, oscuro, pegajoso, suculento y probablemente al menos otros diez adjetivos complementarios. Consiguen unas berenjenas para degustar y lucir tan espectaculares. Mi marido tenía un balti de carne. Creo que estaba demasiado ocupado comiendo mis berenjenas para darme cuenta. ! ! También conseguimos un lado de coliflor que había sido frito y cubierto y era igualmente sabroso y muy diferente. Este lugar hace que ser vegetariano sea increíblemente fácil. Realmente no puedo recomendar este restaurante lo suficiente, por cierto, cuando hemos comido, el personal es encantador; educado, eficiente a tiempo y tan bueno en su trabajo, es una joya de lugar: si estuviera ubicado en el centro de la ciudad, habría colas para entrar.

Greeted by humourless waitresses with poor English, The food was passable but only served warm. reasonable prices. Wont be rushing back for more.

A group of friends, we had a good time here. The food was good, nothing to complain about. For someone who eats a lot of Indian food though, it didn’t really hit the highs I hoped for

Ayer estuve en este restaurante que pedimos cordero biryani, kothu rotti mixto y pollo 65 todo el sabor de la comida estaba bien. Realmente disfruté con kothu rotti, especialmente el sabor fue excelente servicio también bueno. Pero la mesa no es tanto decorativa ni velas, ni flores de lavar.

Fuimos a este restaurante para avisarles que vendríamos a cenar alrededor de las nueve. Éramos tres y cuando regresamos, la anfitriona nos pareció genial. Ella no nos dio la bienvenida. Ella nos dijo que tomáramos un lugar y nos sentamos. Después de 10 minutos de espera sin que nadie viniera a nuestra mesa salimos. Todos nos sentimos decepcionados porque parece un buen lugar. La anfitriona no hizo ningún intento de preguntar qué estaba mal, de hecho, parecía aliviada de que nos fuéramos. Me recordó lo que los afroamericanos experimentaron en los años 60 y en los restaurantes. Eso es negar el servicio siendo ignorado.

Although not in an area I would normally choose to eat, this restaurant was recommended to us by a group of Indian chefs so thought it must be worth giving a go. So happy that we did as once inside, the ambience is really lovely, staff courteous and helpful and the food fabulous! My husband and I both opted for the Paneer Manchurian, we chose to have it “spicy” and it delivered on every level! Delicious chunks of paneer that had been deep fried in a batter, served with a delicious spicy sauce - it was orgasmic! This was followed for the Masala Dosa, the main reason for our visit. We’d eaten dosa’s during our stay in India and absolutely loved them yet failed to find any restaurant back in Liverpool that served them. They were superb. Delicious crispy pancake stuffed with a gorgeous potato filling and served with the sambar and chutneys - excellent. Kingfisher beers washed the food down perfectly! A truly excellent find and a restaurant that we will be frequenting regularly especially with the excellent priced charged too!
