Was Eyvonne S at Akash a mag?
I recently ordered takeout from this restaurant for dinner and was extremely impressed. The price per person ranged from £20-30, but it was well worth it for the quality of food I received. I give the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect score of 5. I highly recommend this place for a delicious meal. View all feedback.

What fitchlea dislikes about Akash:
We were visiting locally and staying in Cinderford and the Akash was recommended. There was no parking so we parked in the hairdressers next door which was closed. When we got to the front door we almost turned around a blown front window that probably hasn’t been cleaned for 10 years ,plastic flowers in the window that had an inch of dust I could go on and on . But we stuck with it. By the end of the starter we were... View all feedback.

Joined with a very good service little but clean surroundings equals a satisfying dining experience. Menu rich, so we could eat even more on our occasional visits .

Went for a meal just the two of us although space is limited in the restaurant and there was no alcohol the food was as good as any I've had, we weren't rushed and able to enjoy the evening .I would definitely recommend and will certainly be using again for a sit down or take away. Many thanks

Indian food has always been a bit of a hit and miss for me especially with a nut allergy I'm always concerned that somethings going to be a problem.This place on the other hand has become one of my guilty pleasures and quite possibly the reason I'm now addicted to spicy food :)The guys who run this place are exceptional in every way, polite, extremely welcoming and the food has been brilliant every time.As a take away restaurant it seems more popular as a take away even though the restaurant itself is nice if not a little small.My only complaint if any is the vindaloo they kindly make me is super hot and 9 times out of ten gets me a ticket to sleeping on the sofa so I've started ordering the Madras to keep the peace at home :)Seriously though love this place. It's priced well, the food is consistently fresh, well prepared and allergies are catered for here... never let us down once.Really couldn't recommend it enough!!

Recomended to this, dont be put off as from outside it dosent appeal. superb food, seriously good. only had one dish i wasnt impressed with which was lamb tikka massala, lamb was tough and only 3 bits of it in container... otherwise everything else is just the best ever, comes with lots of dips and often free popadoms.. such lovely people there too. i wont eat indian anywhere else.

This restaurant in Cinderford offers the best Indian cuisine around. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The curries and starters are delicious, especially the chicken tikka naan and Keema cheese naan. It's the only Indian restaurant I order from. The take-out service is excellent for a dinner meal, with prices ranging from £10-20 per person. I highly recommend the cheese naan for vegetarians, as well as their clearly labeled vegetarian menu options. Overall, I give the food, service, and atmosphere a perfect 5 rating.

Probably my favourite Indian to eat out from when I'm in Cinderford, always fast service and good food never once had a problem with it the entire three years I've been coming here. Parking: Only down side is that parking is very difficult due to the area surrounding the restaurant. I normally park in the little driveway opposite. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Parking is unavailable

The restaurant provided friendly and efficient service. They surprised me with a little something extra added to my order, free of charge.

But we stuck with it. By the end of the starter we were pleasantly surprised and starting to have a different view. By the end of the meal we all agreed that it was probably the best Indian we’d ever had. And we’ve had a few. The fact that they don’t serve alcohol didn’t distract from that . This would’ve made a great dine in the dark.

Having had our takeaway curry’s from here for 20 years, I can honestly say they are the best! My husband says no where else can beat their Tandoori Chicken Biriyani !! It’s always piping hot and presentation is always good.

We visited Akash yesterday, and wanted to express how amazing the food and service was. The staff were very welcoming and incredibly friendly and we ordered several items including a tandoori mixed grill, prawns and sheek kebab wrap (which were all seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection). The food was packed full of flavour, spice and had a lovely aromatic fragrance. I would highly recommend this local gem in Cinderford and I will definitely be going back with family and friends in the future!

From the moment I walked in, I received a warm welcome and the service was excellent. My order came out quickly and the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka and kebab starters were some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place, the food is amazing!

I have used Akashi for years, never had a bad meal, but the last 2 times have been terrible, one meal we had tasted all the same very little spice , I though oh maybe just a one off, so haven’t had a meal from here for over 6 months, we decided to give another go last night instead of travelling to Ledbury to get Indian (which is where we have been going the last 6 months) we’ll should of gone to Ledbury!!! Was told on the phone when placed the order 25 minutes. Got there sat down, 10 minutes , them 20 minutes loads of other customers came and went with there food by this time had waited in the restaurant 45 minutes!!! Joke, ask at the counter where my order was . Sorry a few more minutes, eventually got my food 50 minutes late, got home and well fuming every dish was half full what a rip off and again tasted of nothing £34.00 wasted movers again, will stick to Ledbury from now on
