The best restaurants serving Indian food in Berkhamsted West Dacorum East of England

Ususally have takeaways from local restaurants. My neighbour recommended the Akash. The food was excellent well cooked abnd on time when I went to collect it. Will definately be usuing the Akash in the future.

We’ve been to this restaurant for many years and it used to be the best Indian in Berkhamsted, although expensive,it was worth it. Had lunch there recently. We were the only patrons. Plenty of attentive staff gave us a warm welcome. But, oh dear, the food was way down on quality on this occasion. Starter for me was duck in tamarind sauce. Very tough and the sauce only had a hint of tamarind. This was followed by king prawns in a creamy sauce with cashew nuts. A dish I’ve had many times here. Huge prawns but dreadfully overcooked and tough and chewy. Plus the sauce, although tasty, was neither creamy and contained just one cashew. Also the side dish of Tarka Dall was dry and contained no garlic. This could have been a one off, bad day, inexperienced new chef, perhaps. This experience will not mean we will never go again. It’s the nearest Indian to our home and we’ll give it another visit in the future, as this is the first time they let us down. If the next visit is back to its normal excellence, I’ll report back with another review.
