The Akash in Blackpool

Found this little gem, whilst in Blackpool! Without doubt one of the best indian meals I have had! Food was very fresh and tasty, very well priced and excellent waiting staff. Very friendly and great atmosphere! A must if you are in Blackpool!

Me and my family came here for years getting one of the best Indian we had with the most welcoming staff you can get. My dad told me the best madras come out of this place and it definitely was. Me and my partner loved it here. Sammy was welcoming as always.

Fantastic find for a tasty curry!! A trusty trip advisor search took us to this gem. We almost missed the entrance that takes you upstairs to a lovely restaurant with super friendly and helpful staff. We had popadoms and veg/chicken pakoras to start followed by chicken and veg byriani with nan. My husband asked for his curry sauce to be spiced up which was no problem and hit the spot. Tasty, plentiful and generous portions! Would definitely recommend and will absolutely return.

Fantastic little India.food was excellent and the mushroom rice was amazing.staff was very friendly and helpful.prices was very good.cant believe we have never been before.but will definitely be back on our next trip to Blackpool.would and have recommended to friends.try it you won't be disappointed

We ordered the food as we came to stay in Blackpool for a couple of days the food it was really nice full off flavour plenty off it and lots of chicken , thanks we will be ordering again when we are back in town

Visited on a Wednesday in November and had meal for two set menu at £45 and lovely host allowed us to have our preferred madras & vindaloo dishes...

The best Tandoori Restaurant in the area, friendly staff, excellent food, good service always a pleasure to eat here.

Without a doubt the best curry we have had in a long time. We were recommended to come here by a local and it did not disappoint, we didn’t have a booking but were welcomed by the amazing team who couldn’t do enough for us. Tasty, fresh food and top quality service. Thank you - we will definitely return when next in Blackpool.

10 out of 10 great food aswell as great fast and very friendly polite staff think this is my favourite Indian in all time thanks guys keep up the great work xx

Great place, lovely food, great staff, would definitely recommend, Sammy is one of the nicest guys I've meet, very welcoming 😊

A lovely place for a great meal, good service would recommend! Rafi was a great server, really polite and helpful.

Had a great meal at The Akash. Meet and great was friendly and welcoming. Had the set meal and we were not disappointed. Food tasted great. We will definitely be back and would recommend.

Just want to say again, Thank you to Sam and his team for the lovely meal and friendly welcome we had on Saturday evening. Food and service was 1st class and Cobra on Draught was a welcome bonus. If anyone is in Blackpool looking a nice Indian meal we thoroughly recommend Akash Tandoori. Alan and Valerie (BELFAST!!!!) :-)

Called in last minute, as hadn't booked in advance but read reviews and sounded great. Found us a table, very good service and the food was spot on. Would definitely recommend and will call back if in the area again.

Went on a weekend trip. Saw the reviews about the Akash.Thought give it a go. Wife and I had the madras very hot but good. Friendly staff would recommend.

Great food. Good value. Good service and the best naan bread I've had outside of India. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Best curry I’ve ever had,not just in Blackpool,but anywhere.No frills restaurant just first class food,easiest 10 out of 10 ever.

The most delicious Indian food I've ever tasted! Been to this restaurant every September weekend for the past 6 years after a recommendation from locals for "best curry in Blackpool" worked our way through the menu since. The staff are smashin and cheery..we have always ended our meal with complimentary drinks. Bonus! Wish it was closer and we'd be regulars!

Great friendly staff and service was spot on we have been going here for past 4 years whenever we are in Blackpool this is our go to place for dinner .the meals are amazing and great prices .I always tell anyone how's going to Blackpool to try this place you won't go anywhere else after.

Probably our 15th visit to The Akash. Best Indian food we’ve had by far. Simon is always amazing and helpful and always goes the extra mile for us. We will continue to return every time we come back to Blackpool 😊

I ate there Tuesday. Forget this new fangled “street food” craze which seems to be smaller portions at larger prices. This is an old school Indian, with generous portions of food well cooked served on warm plates. I visit every time I’m in town and...

Lovely meal. Very friendly. Clean and reasonably priced. We will be coming back again. You walk in a stranger and leave as a friend. My husband and I had popperdoms. Starters main curry chips and nan between us. Wow.... It was all amazing. Doggy bag...

We have just been to the Akash for a meal the food was excellent and plenty of it ,not to expensive and did not need to book. i would go there again when visiting Blackpool.

Very friendly staff and the *best* tandoori mixed grill we have EVER had! Efficient and friendly service and good value too. Would recommend for an Indian meal in Blackpool.

Full marks to Sammy and grandad and Simon the bar man we had a very nice starters mixed and mains were mixed saag tandoori special lamb balti and a few beers top marks for food service drinks Sammy

My dad has been coming here for over 20 years , he wouldn't go anywhere else . Tonight he introduced me to the amazing staff, Simon , Dhiraj and Sammy....we are blown away by the food and service....fab x

Great meal service good,haven't been for years.Only one criticism the Beer.Bottles of Cobra or other Indian beers not available.

This Indian was great! Seating clean, along with toilets. Food was mid range. I would recommend eating here for tea. Great Indian!

Live In Liverpool I would travel to Blackpool just for this curry. Fantastic service warm and welcoming. Food hot and served in time . Reasonably priced nice atmosphere staff and manager are entertaining and very chatty. We loved this place. Portion size very generous. Come...

Fantastic food. One of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had. Simon and his colleagues were very attentive to our needs. Highly recommended!

Akash is one of those restaurants that you know you will get a great Indian meal and first class service. The owner visits every table to check that people are happy with their meals. My wife and I have been going to Akash for very...

Finally visited Akash after being recommended by some friends. We didn't book and were seated straight away. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was brilliant. We had the set meal for 2 and there was plenty for 3 people. The only criticism...

Great hosts, great good excellent value…. Would recommend… ps the title was a joke as we had banter around me Being a West Ham fan …

The food here is the best Indian food we have ever had the boss is so friendly and Simon so friendly as all the staff are nothings too much trouble would highly recommend

Really enjoyed my meals here. Was in Blackpool for the cricket and ended up eating here both nights! The owner is a smashing bloke, service excellent and food very tasty and good value, consequently I ate there both nights of my stay. Am very fussy...

Hidden away upstairs its definitely a local blackpool venue. Friendly enough staff but food is hotter than it should be. My Bhuna was over spiced more like a madras so not my favourite curry house.

I was in Blackpool with friend and looking for somewhere casual to eat on a Monday night. Spoke with a couple who had just come out of the Akash and asked what it was like. They were fulsome in their praise and recommended it. They...

Incredible food - King prawn purée is the best I’ve had Well worth a visit Recommend by a family member and will certainly be visiting again 👍🏼

Great food. Great staff. Great atmosphere. One of the best Indians we’ve had. Well worth a visit. I even got a dessert named after me. We’ll be back again!

Absolutely brilliant food and service. The owner is a real character and makes the experience all the more enjoyable! We visit regularly and are never anything other than delighted!

Perfect food,atmospher,music. I loved it will visit again,next time have some discount for the regular customers.

Fab food we visit here twice a year Service is spot on location is also good Can’t wait to go back

This has to be the best in Blackpool, my opinion. Been coming here every year since we first found it and it never disappoints. Nice owner always a good welcome

We are Indian students came to Blackpool for. Day out Came here because good feedback from other diners Big portions best Partha I. Had in UK so far

Everytime we come to Fleetwood a trip over to Akash is a must. Hidden away behind the Winter Gardens but always busy with regulars. Service fantastic, food delicious and great value for the amount of food you get. Keep up the great work guys.

Always come here from coventry food is always tasty Sami great host Free drinks at the end Lots of stars have been in here Give it a go

We are students from nepal came to blackpool for weekend break. We really enjoyed the food here. Food portion was big which is good value for money.

Just want to say what an amazing meal we both had at akash . The staff and host amazing very nice and attentive. The food was so good , probably the best I ever had curry wise and I've had a few. Noone will be...

Excellent service and excellent food. My kids are fussy eaters but cleared their plates. Great value for money. Will definitely visit again.

The best curry house we’ve ever been to! We have family in Blackpool so visit all of the time, it’s the perfect excuse to come for an Akash. Simon who looks after us goes above and beyond every time and can not do enough for...

Been coming here for over a decade now. I have run out of superlatives. Never found any better. As Tina Turner would say: 'Simply The Best'. Thanks to Sami and his brilliant staff. See you next time. 👍

Was running out of time having driven up from London, several places already emptying 9.30pm or no longer serving, stumbled across this. Ticked the boxes mostly middle aged men quietly enjoying curry and no dunk mobs. Enjoyed cobra or two with lamb bound, mushroom fried...

The best service and the tastiest food in Blackpool if your looking for an Indian this is Defo the best place to go

Superb!! Friendly attentive and the food is amazing. All the food was fresh and the meat was tender. Cannot recommend enough.

This is the place for delicious Indian cuisine. We live in Blackpool and have regular deliveries from Akash and occasionally eat in the restuarant. Recommended: Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, for those that enjoy their curries hot.

Our Scottish contingent of magicians were back again to the best curries in Blackpool. Always greeted with a fantastic welcome by Sammy. We will be back again next year. Highly recommended.

Had a very nice meal. We were greeted warmly on arrival and seated promptly. The staff were very attentive without intruding. The food was excellent and the service cannot be faulted and very reasonably priced. Could not fault anything and will definitely be back next...

1st time here, but I will definitely be going back when I'm next in Blackpool. Everything was fantastic, staff were great and all the food was delicious. 5 stars from all 4 of us.

Best Indian iv ever had. Seriously.. no joke.. service.. food.. proper traditional Indian.. cant rate it enough x

A delicious meal, great service, the staff really did look after us. This was our third visit and we weren’t disappointed.

4th visit now - my go-to choice when in Blackpool. Great authentic flavours, generous portions and very reasonable prices. Lighting could be a bit less harsh, but small niggle. This is a real gem that deserves to be busy.

Well we are just happy as always ordering this wonderful take away on a school night. Piping hot, the flavours yummy, the delivery rapid and with extra poppadoms hmmmm lovely. Thanks you Sammy and staff........xx

We visited Blackpool from Newcastle and ongoing rail strike could not stop us. We've got hotel booked and bus tickets. There was a 2 hours stoppage at Manchester and we utilized that time visiting Manchester meusium. At Blackpool there were a lot things to do,...

Found this place earlier this year on a recommendation from a friend. This is my 6th time coming, and the owner Sammy never disappoints. He knows what I like that much now that I ask him to surprise me with something. This time it was...

One of the best curries we’ve ever had. The king prawn vindaloo was to perfection and so were the onion Bahai’s. Will be back again next time we’re in Blackpool

What an amazing restaurant for authentic Indian food. Huge portion sizes with excellent customer service. Husband and I were welcomed warmly with nothing being too much trouble. If you are looking for a great meal, fairly priced, then come here. Highly recommend.

Lovely . Food with taste . Great service . And exceptional and tasty food . For a good price . Simon . Top.man

I have been coming here so often on my visits to Blackpool I am in danger of repeating myself. Search this little gem out in Topping Street, Blackpool. Look out for the yellow canopy and head upstairs for curry heaven. You will be met by...

This is my second time coming here and the inside can feel a bit run down, but the quality of the food is good with big portions and the owner is amazing and makes you feel like you are around his house and he speaks...

Amazing food, great value and great staff! Thank you Akash for your excellent service on the 22/10/22, definitely be returning

Fantastic. Our second visit to this amazing restaurant (first visit was many years ago) Food is fresh, authentic and big portions. The host was a lovely man and couldn’t do enough for us. We look forward to returning in the near future!

Superb, unostentatious Tandoori restaurant that offers authentic Indian food. This place was recommended to me by the good folks of "Cask and Tap" next door, otherwise I might not even have considered it. The "front" looks modest indeed and not terribly inviting (they offer a...

I loved this place. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent quality and good value. The portion sizes was very good too. I would 100% recommend this place

What a great place, food excellent service quick and friendly, just stumbled on this place, will definitely be going back. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Sam and Simon were accommodating and professional. Highly recommended.

Ordered 3 different curries for the family and can honestly say they where perfect full of flavour no complaints at all

This is my 3rd visit to The Akash. First time was 8 years ago. Not a regular obviously, but I still believe there’s no better place in town, and call in when ever I’m in the area. Well prepared, authentic food, served with a smile....

The restaurant was pretty much full but they still tried to accommodate 6 of us as quickly as possible which was good. When we were seated and our food arrived it was one of the best tastiest meals I’ve ever had. The service was great...

We are Nepalese student came for blackpool in weeknd. We fancied tasty food so we went to this place. Food was amazing. Staff were also very friendly. Bar man salmon gave us free drinks at the end. We will be back next summer.

Went with friends on a Saturday night. Food is simply the best. Great menu. Reasonable drinks and friendly attentive staff. We will be back.

Stopped in Blackpool as we were playing Golf at Fleetwood and Lytham so it was in between, never thought it would be the Monday of the Queens funeral when we booked up a few months back so it was a pleasant surprise that things were...

Very welcoming and friendly staff. The food was brilliant and satisfied our every need. Would recommend the restaurant and if Iam in the area I would definitely dine here again.

Found using gourmet society app whilst on holiday helpful friendly staff great food good price for food Would definitely recommend Make sure you pre book if you want to use any vouchers/code

Yet another visit to the Akash. I have been going here for many years now and I have still yet to find a better curry house anywhere. The food is excellent. of good value and large portions. Sami and his excellent staff ensure the experience...
