Was Dominic Murray at Akbar a mag?
I was searching for Indian food in Coventry and stumbled upon this hidden gem. The food was fantastic, especially the mixed curry. In most Indian restaurants, I have often found people dining alone to be treated poorly, but the experience here was quite the opposite. The staff treated me very well and the service was excellent. I highly recommend trying out this restaurant. View all feedback.

What George Lewis dislikes about Akbar:
I have ordered king prawn biryani I have no idea why have they given equal amount of aloo curry as the biryani itself I ended up eating equal mix of biryani with aloo curry. I have no idea about how the biryani tastes like They have added small ice cubes in the in a glass and gave along with coke I got the ice cubes in my mouth each time I had a sip The restaurant is okay to go as per my experience View all feedback.

Nigel has been running an amazing Indian restaurant for decades. My family has been going since the 90s and we still go for special occasions. We had a delicious curry last week and the service was excellent. Thanks again!

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was serene—perfect for anyone who feels a bit homesick. I ordered a drink, chicken curry, and papadum, and it was a delightful experience. The flavors were truly outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in Coventry who loves Indian cuisine.

Arguably one of the best indians in cov. Everything is perfect and hospitality is the great. maybe a little too perfect seems like rehearsed effect. food is brilliant though and they do a large range of it too... evenly priced meals around £7
